The intense noon sun streamed gold beams filled with dust motes swirling like little insects through the side window of the quiet room.
Casio was leaning against a corner, gritting his teeth and grimacing. Thankfully, the sensation of tingling numbness was gradually fading.
With a bang, the wooden door swung open.
Lixia walked in from outside, about to speak but quickly shut the door on realizing something. She then hurried over, pulling out a wooden box as she walked.
The box was barely palm-sized, cubical in shape, with the surface painted a faint red. The quality of the wood appeared to be quite delicate and sturdy, and the box quite heavy.
"Master, what is this...?"
Casio was a bit confused, questioning whether this could be Golden Sores Medicine.
Without uttering a word, Lixia opened the box.
