125 Diverse Alley - 03 (1/2)
”This is it, huh?” Faust keeps staring at the shop painted in black. It is built as one of the oldest bars, with all wood. Glass windows for ventilation and a white signature board in front of the shop that is attached on top of the entrance.
Faust follows the steps of Neith and enters inside. The whole shop is quiet and on either side, elemental stones are displayed inside a glass display. There are all seven types of elemental stones without the black one. There also some stones that implanted inside rings and watches.
Faust is mesmerized by the wide variety of tools and places his hand on the glass display out of admiration. These elemental stones are like gems and the tools are made of gold and platinum-like jewels.
”I wouldn't touch them if I were you.” He hears a female voice from behind him that startles him quite a bit. He immediately retracts his hand and steps away from the glass.
A girl appears from behind, carrying a spray in her hand. She sprays onto the place where Faust placed his hand and starts wiping it off with a cloth. She repeats the process until the glass starts to shine.
”This glass is of low quality, so if you touch it, your fingerprints are clearly shown on it. And if my boss notices them, I will be punished.” She utters in a low voice.
Faust has found her voice, unique and adorable. It sounds like a female character from an anime. She is wearing a tight figure-hugging black jumpsuit like clothes. It looks like an outfit with only zipper in front. In a sense, the dress is enhancing her every shape, The dress is kind of leather. She bends down to wipe the dust on the bottom of the glass.
Her hair is brown and short, one side of her hair is really short while the other side is long enough to cover one side of her face, over her left eye.
”*Uh oh.”* Faust says in his head as her outfit is getting tighter and tighter as if it's going to be torn. He is surprised that she could bend first of all, as her pants are tighter than normal and look like they will be ripped apart if she even bows to someone.
”Faust!” Neith calls for him from inside. Faust takes off the tissue that is in his pockets to wipe the sweat off his forehead. He notices that his forehead has gotten hot. He folds it and places it back in his pocket and starts going deeper into the shop.
”There are also tools in this shop huh?” Faust tells as he is walking to where Neith is standing. In front of her is a wooden table and she seems to be talking to a middle-aged man.
”N-o, Listen! That is not. Why can't you understand?”
”I'm telling you, we don't buy black stones. Those are useless as pebbles.” The guy sitting down in his chair is arguing with Neith, without even listening to what she is saying.
”Faust, show him the stones that you have got. He is thinking that I came back here to sell the black stone again.” Neith yells in anger. She is fuming like a fire.
”Faust takes out his pouch from his other pocket, takes out the stones and places it on the table in front of him. One red stone and Four green stones. The man jumps out of his chair seeing five finely polished stones on his table.
