Dawn was speechless. He thought there would be some bittersweet and sobbing story of a knight in shining armor rescuing the princess. It turns out the reasoning was an accident of minuscule proportion. However, despite his disappointment, this detail does confirm his suspicion of this pendant being special. He would need to investigate the trinket further.

Not wanting to wait, he promptly activated the pendant to begin experimentation. First up was the teacup in his hand. The object got transported into his inventory like magic in a blink.

What an awesome function!

“Landlord, what happened to your cup?” Boink became astonished by the sudden magic trick and quickly asked.

Shadow on the other hand understood better so she merely scoffed at the scene and skimmed over a quick explanation: “He’s probably experimenting with the pendant’s function. That artifact has a personal space in there for him to use. Definitely something rare to come across.”

As the catling lady indicated, Dawn was indeed experimenting with his newfound ability. Whether it be the cups, the water kettle, or even the entire coffee table, none could escape his evil clutches. It wasn’t until he extended his filthy hands towards the lady next to himself that he realized how improper his actions were. Furthermore, that “kind” smile from Shadow was quite intimidating so he kind of had no choice in the matter.

After satisfying his curiosity, the guy decides to stop messing around: ” Shadow, you can go ahead and pick any room you like since there is no one else living here. Also, me and you can go pick out some proper furniture tomorrow in the city. I’ll lend you the futon in storage for tonight.”

Then turning to the hamsterling, “As for you, do you want to move up from the basement Boink?”

“Of course I do! If I knew you weren’t afraid of us monsters then I would’ve requested it long ago. The basement is so damp, I was getting worried my fur would turn bad if I stayed there too long.” Boink nodded quickly and didn’t hesitate to give a reminder, “Remember to be careful tomorrow. There are monster hunters actively roaming nearby. I don’t want to have an accident after just going steady for once.”

“Mhmm…. Those monster hunters are quite troublesome. I didn’t expect to hear about that annoying bunch this quickly after reviving.” Shadow puckers her lips in displeasure.

“Umm… mind explaining to me what a monster hunter is exactly?” Dawn wasn’t so familiar with the term so he’s still confused.

“You can say they’re a bunch of creeps stepping between human and monster kind. Their mission in life is to vanquish all monsters.” Shadow paused and thought about it before adding more, “Their most common weapon in my memory is spell talismans and silver arrowed crossbows. You probably heard of Taoist monks before. They’re a branch that developed here in this region before I got sealed away.”

Dawn got a general impression of these so-called monster hunters after listening to Shadow’s narration: stubborn old fossils, fanatics, strong and organized with branches all over the world. But in his view, this was more like a cult than an organization.

“Then why don’t you stay home tomorrow? I’ll go exchange the money for you instead.” Dawn suggests after deliberation. He didn’t want his new tenant captured by these powerful people.

“Don’t worry, I’m confident in my ability to escape. Besides, it’s not like a given that we’re going to bump into that annoying bunch.” Shadow refuses the kind offer due to her own curiosity. She’s been dying to explore the new world and begin her adventure of shopping.

No lady could resist the art of buying stuff. That’s true for any era.
