「What an odd thing.」

Mira was eating the contents of the small box in a corner of the Union, surprised by the taste. The box contained what looked like small slips of paper, around the size of a thumb, which gave off a sweet and slightly tart scent. Those sheets would instantly dissolve when they touched her tongue, making the flavor spread through her mouth.

In essence, she had been gifted a box of fancy candy, which she was rather impressed by and continued eating while looking at the envelope.

She wondered which fan had sent that, but she was not likely to reply if it turned out to be a love letter of some sort. Lamenting the hardships of being famous, she checked the sender name, which quickly brightened her spirits.

「Ohh, it's Takuto!」

Not too long after arriving in this world, Mira had gone to

After checking the price tags of nearby items, she saw that even small trinkets cost upward of a hundred thousand Rils. Then she took another look around the shop and saw that all the other clients were well dressed and had a wealthy look to them. There were also three men in clean uniforms, employees of the store, who also had a refined look to them.

(Either way, it won't matter unless I actually find one.)

She began to worry that she would not be able to afford what she wanted if she found it, but she tried to not think about that as she continued looking around the shop.

Mira walked out of the section with small accessories, turning to look at shelves stocked with old books, and continuing to the area with furniture of various sizes.

「Hmm… I don't think there's any 「

After looking around the area, she muttered in defeat.

The entire time, she had been trying to find furniture inhabited by a spirit. As objects used and beloved for a long time would sometimes start housing a spirit, Mira figured that her chances of finding such an object were higher in an antique shop, but as far as she had seen, there was nothing like that there.

What made things trickier was that she needed to actually see an item to verify whether there was a spirit present or not.

As the Spirit King explained, unlike Armor Spirits, Man-Made Spirits like those in furniture were usually on the reserved side and would not make their presence felt from a distance except for extreme situations. But if Mira's link with the Spirit King became stronger, there was a possibility she would eventually become able to detect them more easily.

Either way, she was stuck having to manually find them for the time being, and she was determined to do anything necessary to improve her spirit mansion. Sadly, her search of Craftbell, Coffee and Antiques yielded no results.

「I guess it won't be that easy, after all.」

After looking through the other sections, she gave up and headed for the door to leave the shop.

「What a breathtaking selection, I'm especially impressed by the lineup from the Katenov Era. It seems our tastes match quite nicely.」

「Thank you kindly. It almost feels like fate brought you to our shop today.」

An elegantly dressed gentleman and someone who looked like the shop's owner descended a flight of stairs that was cordoned off with a No Entry sign. Then the gentleman said, 「Well, I'll be coming back soon,」 and left the shop.
