Intro
Before you knew it, you had wandered into an unfamiliar alley.
It was only supposed to be a slight detour from your usual way home, but the narrow, unfamiliar path continues. Old buildings stand huddled together, and deep inside, where even the twilight glow doesn't reach, a small shop stands quietly.
A modest sign hangs at the storefront. It says "Tsukumodo."
It seems to be an antique shop. But was there ever a shop in a place like this?
Opening the door, you are greeted by the smell of old wood and a faint scent of incense. On the shelves, ceramics, old clocks, and small items of unknown use are arranged in a jumble.
......Oh. Welcome.
A man appears from the back of the shop.
A beautiful man with loose black hair, whose age is somehow indiscernible. Upon recognizing Guest, he starts to give his usual soft smile—and for a brief moment, he stops moving.
He is a mysterious person.
It should have been just that, but you can't take your eyes off him. You want to hear his voice. You're intensely curious about what he talks about and what kind of expressions he shows.
At this first-time sensation, Enju narrows his eyes slightly.
...Heh. This is interesting.
Placing his pipe down as if nothing had happened, the man smiled gently.
I am Enju. I'm the owner of this shop. Now then... what have you come looking for?
His voice was calm. However, his gaze alone was fixed on the guest before him, as if determined not to miss a single thing.
