What's a [P#i%&r©§a? *a×ry]?

Approaching the speck of golden light that was flying circles around the broken lantern the 'object?' suddenly stopped in place started floating towards Mizuki.

'And what is this supposed to be now?'

The flying light stopped a few inches from Mizukis face.

Now that the figure was that close, Mizuki could easily see what this object really was.

A tiny and very cute humanoid figure with hair that seemed to be made of light, eyes that were a mixture of baby blue and pure gold along with ears that reminded one of elves and wings that reminded one of angels.

The figure who was looking at Mizuki with curiosity then bowed her head.

'Bowing to a person she just met? This is either a very fancy greeting or a thank you.'

Lifting her head the small angel pointed her finger at Mizuki and touched her head.

'Okay. And what is that supposed to mean?'

The small angel flew and landed on Mizukis shoulder.

"Well okay then. You can stay with me for a while."

The small lady showed a bright smile and nodded her head eagerly.

'Now then. Ignoring the strange girl on my shoulder and the broken lantern that I wanted I guess I'll try to find everything else.'

Taking a quick look around the storage room the item that caught her eyes the most was a book.

The book was pitch black in color and on the front was a statuette of a serpaint that was eating it's own tail. In the middle of the serpaint circle was a statuette of a large squid.

'What a strange cover.'

Both statues were made of a strange gem that glowed aqua, the statues were impossible to remove from the cover.

'I guess this is the book. Now to get the ship, the pear, the hat and... The heart! Yep. Almost forgot about that.'

Walking around a bit more Mizuki spotted a coat rack. Next to the coat rack was a shelf with a few items on it while the coat rack itself had a lone hat.

Taking the hat, Mizuki used inspect.

[Hat of a True Pirate - This hat was used by a legendary pirate that has sailed every sea. It grants protection to the crew and guidance to the captain.]

'A very weird description... Wait a second.'

Taking a closer look at the hat, Mizuki showed a slightly suprised expression.

Taking off the hat that she was wearing currently she compared the two.

'These hats are exactly the same.. Well by looks that is.'

'Now. Wait a minute.'

Increasing the waiting time by 59 seconds Mizuki took an even closer look at the two hats in her hands.

'Sparrow?'

"..."

'Whatever. I'll just take the hat that was on the rack. They look exactly the same anyway.'

Trying to forget what she just realized, Mizuki turned to the shelf.

On the shelf were 3 items of interest.

A black box and two bottled ships. One of the ships was entirely black in color and named..

'The.... Pearl..?'

'I'll ignore that.'

On the shelf were 2 items of interest.

A black box and a single bottled ship. The bottled ship was grey in color and had black sails. Infront of the bottle was a sign that had the ships name.

'Soulless Pearl. So... is it a ship or not?'

Using inspect, Mizuki got her awnser.

[Soulless Pearl - A ship that was cursed and stuck in a bottle through the use of strange magic. Breaking the bottle and putting the ship to sea will make you it's captain. The official captain and crew of this ship will obtain the curse [Soulless Death].]

'Cursed huh. Well I got to say that I'm not suprised on account of the name but really. The name [Soulless Death] is extremely ominous.'

Thinking for a while longer, Mizuki took the bottled ship anyway.

'A ship is a ship. Cursed or not I can still do some modifications.'

Putting the bottle in her bag, that she stole, Mizuki turned her attention to the black box.

Opening the box all she saw an extremely tiny crystal on a red flower petal.

Suddenly the little lady on her shoulder showed a reaction.

Flying to the box she picked up the small crystal.

Mizuki ofcourse had no idea what was happening.

After a few seconds the little lady placed the crystal back onto the petal. Turning around she gave Mizuki a sad smile, bowed and left through the window.

Before she was out of sight for good, Mizuki managed to use inspect on her.

[P#i%&r©§a? *a×ry]

[Error]

[Error]

[Error]

The first inspect barely worked while the other three only showed an error message.

Completely oblivious to what had just transpired, Mizuki could only guess.

'Mabye the heart belonged to a fairy she knew? Wait, maybe she was a fairy? How did I not realize before!?'

Slightly saddened by the departure of the little lady, Mizuki turned back to the heart, to see a change happening to it.

[Crystallized Fairy Heart]

[Cry##al###ed Fa##y #ea##]

[############ ##### #####]

[##i#or#d#l #a#r# ##a#t]

[Primordial Fairy Heart]

The heart had... changed? Evolved? Mutated? It was unknown what had happened to the heart that the little lady had touched.

All that Mizuki could do, was guess.

'I.. I don't like it. I don't like having no clue of what is going on. I.. hate not even being able to theorize on what happened... When did I become like this?'

After a moment of silence, Mizuki tried to ignore her cluelessness.

'It started after meeting that little woman. I'm.. I'm completely in the dark in terms of knowledge right now...'

"Tsk."

'No..it's not like it's her fault.'

Letting out a soft sigh Mizuki took another glance at the heart.

'Why am I feeling like this? It's just a-.. nevermind.'

Taking the heart, she used inspect.

[Primordial Fairy Heart - Error]

"..dammit."

Putting the heart back in the box and the box in her bag, Mizuki continued looking around with a sour mood.

Mizuki started to look for the last thing that she cam ehere for. The pear.

Mizuki kept looking for nearly half an hour, in which she found some loose coin bags and such. Nothing very 'interesting' to her right now.

"Isn't it supposed to be here? I've looked in nearly every corner of this damned... place.."

Taking another look around the place, she saw something on the very top shelf of well, the shelf.

The same shelf thathad the heart and the ship.

She was currently exactly opposite of it, on the other side of the room.

At the very top there was a pear. Using inspect, Mizuki saw it's name.

[Pear of Gaia - 1/3]

She was too short to see it when she was there before.

Mizuki poted with a very small blush. She was embarrassed if you couldn't tell.

'It's fine. It's fine. It's not like someone saw me look around aimlessly for half an hour for a thing I was basically staring at the entire time... right?'

'This continent doesn't have cameras.. does it?'

Taking a look around the rooms ceiling and corners she saw nothing.

Letting out a soft sigh she walked towards the shelf holding the pear.

Seeing that she did not have a way to get it, she decided to try climbing.

A few moments later she fell. With everything on the shelf falling with her.

Getting out of the pile of treasure with a pout and a blush she took the pear, threw it in her bag and left.

'I have wind magic, I have space magic, I have gravity magic and I decided to try climbing.'

Taking another quick glance at the corners and ceiling of the room she really hoped that this place doesn't have cameras.
