What will he bring this time? Moey wondered, a spark of anticipation lighting up within him.
Ever since their first meeting, Moey had been captivated by Wataru's wares. Initially, he hadn't expected much from this mysterious merchant. Having seen rare and exquisite items from every corner of the world, it took something extraordinary to pique his interest. When he first heard that Wataru wanted to retrieve items that had once belonged to a former slave, he'd thought, How peculiar for a master to be so sentimental.
But that impression had been overturned in a heartbeat. Since that first encounter, Moey hadn't been able to look away. Wataru kept bringing one fascinating artifact after another, each piece more unique and unprecedented than the last. He never spoke of where he came from, yet his offerings felt like they'd arrived from an entirely foreign world.
