The doors open for the group, a cool air blowing freely out for everyone, as the children would make their leave, the shade from what looked to be a cartoonish grandma just above them. Tsukiya and Envy would stay behind, mainly to operate the House in case anyone would trespass inside. Harvard, however, would take along Criollo as personal back-up, as they attained their human forms, keeping the Gingerbread Guard in his pocket. As they'd be met with such light, their eyes widened a bit as they'd see who opened the door. "Hello, Hello! I'm Jonah! Welcome to my Papa's Store!" A child would cheer, his blue overalls shining with such silver buttons.
"Your... Papa?" Zazel questioned, but was immediately dragged in by the child, letting them have a proper tour of the place. Adel and Koina, meanwhile, were quick on carrying and delivering the house, enamored by the whimsical decor set in the shop. From masses of cuckoo clocks of varying shapes and sizes, to toys of varying sizes, textures, and functions, to plushies of many animals that watch over the group, to even a whole play following the tune of 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy', complete with a Nutcracker following a small ornate figurine of a woman. The boys can't help but try to reach for one of such toys, but someone would be there to watch over and keep them away from being too grubby. A mother in a bright purple and white dress, styled as if she was an heiress from a faraway kingdom.
"Mhm! He's the one who made all this stuff! Take whatEEEEVER you want! We can share toys, games, and even some music if you ever find any! Papa always makes sure to create with as much of his heart as he can!" Jonah shouted in glee, giggling merrily as he'd wave towards another person, one who was watching over a different section of the shop, a candy restaurant. An elderly woman with a rag that covers her face, a bonnet for her headpiece, and a long sweater to cover herself from the chilly room. Strangely, she made sure she was positioned in front of the counter at all times, weaving herself to ensure nobody would look under it, as if she was glued down to the floor. "Hiyah Ms. Mabel!" The child cried, waving towards the elderly woman. As she waved back, Harvard can hear that there was a wee joint made in her wrist, almost as if it was rusted.
"Alright, let's cut to the chase a bit." Solomon started, properly getting his bearings back. He'd tap at his friends' shoulders, signaling to them that they weren't here to do any purchases. "We were told by Orochi of a delivery. Is there any place where we can-"
Jonah gasped as he'd hear such words. "REALLY!? You're the ones who brought Papa's gift?! Wooooow! It must've been so long to get here! Why the small hold-up?" He'd ask.
Solomon would try to answer, but Zazel was quick on hopping in. "There was a massive fight in Orochi. We ah... decided to stick around and watch it a bit."
"We even have a new friend! She's delivering the gift alongside the victor! It was super cool! You should've seen it!" Stolas interjected, bringing much confusion to Jonah.
"Really? Who was fighting there?"
"One of our friends and the king."
"TARO FOUGHT SOMEONE!?" The child was almost amazed at seeing such an equal, even more so when Stolas nodded and gestured Adel, watching him wave as he was bringing the confection inside. "...Can I leave for a moment? I think Papa needs something."
"Sure! Ask him also if we can have something to keep while we're here!" Stolas would be eyeing on a holster and a silver toy pistol, adjusting his hat as he'd climb up there, setting up a few stars to get it. Jonah would give a solemn nod as he rushed over to the first section. Zazel would be a bit skeptical, as he'd turn towards Harvard and tap him on the shoulder, a silent ask to follow. The Card Magician nodded his head and listened, as they left in the same manner, with the elderly woman waving goodbye, the same creaking sound heard as they left.
It wasn't long until they were able to trail after Jonah, seeing him be quick on climbing up to a second floor. As the boys followed, the Guard resting in Harvard's pocket would note the different objects in the room. "A chessboard of Babylon soldiers. A sword with ancient writing. Canopic Jars with Animal dolls inside. An eyepatch with stars across one another. These aren't normal toys, are they...?" He'd mumble, catching Harvard's attention. Zazel signaled to follow further, as they'd see a new room, one blocked off by an iron door. Harvard would try to cast a spell on the door, but was met with the energy rebuking back, the card quickly sinking into his body again as if it was a scared animal. Curious, He'd cast a different spell: A Totem in the form of a spider, similar to Uru in terms of shape and bulk, but with different lines across its body. He'd gesture for Zazel to see if any of the Goetia Demons are able to be inserted, prompting the devil to create a new sigil for him: Uval. The markings glowed a bright orange, and as soon as such magic was inserted, the Totem was quick on climbing up the walls, replicating the Demon's magic, eroding the structure to be but grains of sand. Harvard and Zazel latched themselves onto the Spider's back, with Harvard casting a spell, a Satellite to act as a platform and hover over, whilst letting the sun's rays be soaked up and convert it directly into the Totem.
Once they got to the other side, it would take another erosion and allow the three to slip inside, with Harvard using the newly gained energy to make their existence disappear with the cloaks, hiding in plain sight. He would also take off his shoes, showing his learning curve after being found by Criollo beforehand. The Guard was quick on peeking out, seeing more objects be stored. "A Doll House with eyes on its sides, a ball and cup with a trigger... They're Artifacts..." He'd whisper.
"Huh!? Are you sure?" The two boys asked.
"Positive. Most of these objects were once items that were supposed to be preserved. How were they made into mere playthings, and by Leon of all people?"
"...Who?"
"Leon Brunono. That's what we overheard back in Orochi before being brought over here."
"YOU GUYS HEARD THAT??"
"Hang on, Lemme see." Zazel asked, allowing Criollo to move back to Harvard's pocket as he peeks out, with one spot noticeable and giving him a clear reminder, a memory he's almost forgotten about. A Pedestal, a mold present in a similar shape, writing inscribed in the rock.
"Mango Staff of the Graveyard."
