"Alright, time to see that store."
Zhu Shin dropped the collected fangs and claws a few inches away from the sleeping Kido. He faced the direction of that store and leisurely walked over to it on the rooftops.
When he walked around the same spot, Zhu Shin spotted the accessory store. Although it was just an accessory store, the building had two floors. It wasn't very common for a two story building around, and the inside looked quite expensive, from what he could see from outside.
Zhu Shin was only assuming, however, he was almost one hundred percent sure the owners would try and kill him for even stepping foot inside. How troublesome.
Then the same things caught his eye. On the second floor a window was opened.
It was very noticeably cleaner and nicer than the first floor. Cases made of glass held a few bags. The shelves also had glass to display some peices of sparkling jewelry.
"Hm?"
Zhu Shin found something similar in each item on the top floor. They all, whether small or large, had at least one shiny orb and many different colors too. He couldn't tell what that orb was made of, not to mention what it was used for. Some early theories were that it was just a hard to find gem or pearl.
'It wouldn't hurt to take a little look.'
He went right to the roof in front of the window and jumped right onto the edge of it. Luckily, no one seemed to be on this floor. Looking around, it was definitely different. A few swords and weapons also hung on the walls. They also had orbs imbedded into them. The swords, especially, had given off the feeling of a powerful weapon.
Zhu Shin wandered around the shelves and examined a majority of the items. He still could not grasp what the strange orbs were for. It was slightly frustrating, but he immediately calmed himself down.
'If the orbs aren't for decoration, why are they both used on decorations and weapons?'
The question was on his mind the entire time before some muffled sounds of talking got closer. Due to his strength and other senses increasing by the day, Zhu Shin's hearing was probably one the best. Stealthily moving to an area almost unnoticeable in the store, he couldn't help but sit and eavesdrop.

"Sir, we have some of the finest items for you. "
"Heh- i'll be the judge of that."
A manager of some sort had been sucking up to a chubby fat man who held a gold paper fan with him. The man seemed quite important from what Zhu Shin could tell. A servant behind him, gold clothes, an arrogant aura, and how the worker acted towards him.
The fat man scanned around at the front shelves and display cases. All of which contained the bags with orbs imbedded into them.
'They must have some use if a rich person wants one. If I can find out what it does...'
Zhu Shin was watching and hearing everything carefully. Some of the bags looked like small pouches for money, and had extravagant designs and colors to them. Others were bigger, but seemed to be less in quality though.
"That spatial bag."
The fat man pointed towards a half yellow half jade-green bag. He also seemed to have called it a 'Spatial Bag'
"Five gold coins, dear customer."
The fat man took out a small red bag with a yellow orb. Somehow, five gold coins with squares taken out of the middles, had come out of thin air!
'What!? That's illogical! How can something come out of nowhere? Although... I am a cat right now...'
Zhu Shin was actually thinking that something like magic wasn't that crazy as before. Taking himself as an example of something illogical. The man finished his purchase and was escorted out by the employee.
'The spacial bags...'
He was getting extremely curious about the limits of a spacial bag. Seeing no one watching the room, Zhu Shin had a very theif-like idea. At the front, a stack of black bags had a strap and flip open cover. Although the orb was about the size of his nose, the bag itself was also small.
'They wouldn't mind~'
It was in a pile of larger bags so even if it went missing, such a small bag probably wouldn't be a problem. Zhu Shin pushed his head under the strap and made it hang around his neck. Making a quick escape out the window.
...
Zhu Shin ran back to Kido, who was still sleeping on the roof, with an excited look in his eyes. Since Kido was sleeping soundly, Zhu Shin didn't make a sound and tested his spatial bag on the claws he collected. He flipped open the top and thought about the claws.
Surprisingly, the claws and teeth had turned into loght and entered the bag!
'Hmm... it was different with those other bags though... Perhaps, this bag was and lesser version.'
He saw how the other spatial bag worked, but passed it off without concern because his was very different. Testing the limits of it was going to be his first priority.
...
...
It had gotten colder and became darker by the time Zhu Shin finished the tests he wanted to run. It had proved useful. But, a flaw he found with wearing it on his neck. It covered his bow and hindered his movement slightly.
'I'll have to edit it's design tommorow.'
Zhu Shin took took a short nap before midnight, but was awoken by none other than Kido.
"I wanna go and explore!"
"Yeah.. just don't go too far and come back in the morning."
He was tired and just wanted a nap. The last time he let Kido go off on his own was almost a disaster. This time, it was night and most trouble is out of the way. Zhu Shin could finally nap and prepare his energy.
"Yay! I'll definitely be back safe and sound!"
Kido got smarter and used his claws to make his fall a little shorter. Then he ran off into the night towards who knows where.
"Yaawwn~~!"
