Your trip to Vegas will be in vain if you have never heard of the legend of the Coin Girl. An old yet still shiny centurion coin has brought her countless miraculous fortunes. Even the owner herself has no idea where it comes from.

From the private collection of Sotheby's family. It is deduced that this set was made by an arcanist who produced jewelry for Elizabeth I, yet their name is no longer known. It was later purchased by Sotheby's family. This set is said to be a relatively affordable one in Sotheby's private jewelry collection.

This genuine sapphire, weighing a staggering 326.37 carats, has internal needle-like inclusions that create a stunning optical effect known as asterism. Known as the "Star of Vienna," its radiant beauty speaks for itself.

A pair of designer low heels of Daedalus's with decorative gems from Coro-na Borealis. The first version took eleven months, from measurement to production. Due to the long manufacturing time, the finished product did not fit Sotheby who had grown taller during this period. Daedalus, therefore, had to redesign a second version and speed up the process.

From the wearer's student. A young lady gave this necklace to her mentor as a "coming of age" gift. Despite myriad misunderstandings, it's undeniable that this necklace perfectly complements the wearer's elegant demeanor.

A Persian-style golden necklace, shaped like the pinions of eagle wings, gleams softly with a gentle light. When asked about its value, the interviewee simply said, "This isn't the most valuable item on this journey." When we pressed further to find out what the most valuable item was, the interviewee only handed us a manuscript, its text half restored.

A classic piece of jewelry from the Romantic Period (early Victorian era). Unlike stamped jewelry, the nature-themed patterns on it were hand-carved by skillful jewelers.
What's more, its current owner's glamor is a good complement to its beauty.

A sword that excels in both slashing and thrusting, existing for the most rational of swordsmanship. Combining straight lines, curves, and points, it vanquishes all irregularities. "Cutting is the basic means to solving geometric problems." So said the inventor of this sword technique.

Each pearl on the necklace comes from a different admirer. They are expensive, exquisite proof of the adoration she enjoys.
The necklace is nameless, and people refer to it the way they call its owner: the American Beauty.

A gold collar, as exquisite as it is unnerving, with bone-shaped clasps that tighten around the throat when worn.
Just looking at it seems to conjure the weight of suffocation, though she claims it causes no pain. Given her almost permanently fixed smile, the writer chooses not to believe her.

Every queen should have her own crown, and this one is no exception.
Gold, turquoise, and malachite are carefully carved and set onto a headband, like twelve stars. Work takes its own time—no matter how the myths and years pass, the laws of the seasons do not bend to human will. This is one unchanging thing in a hundred years.

A gold lock adorned with pearls and red string knots, said to bind two hearts together, ensuring they never part. The interviewee accepts all requests, and a glimpse reveals countless names etched densely on the back—even the names of a pair of Critters.

An ornamental headdress gifted to her by an old guest, designed by a skilled jeweler.
The interviewee is not fully aware of its value, nor does she need to be, but she has always treasured the memories it holds—memories of that era and of family.

Earrings symbolizing sunlight, their connecting chains illustrating the process of eclipse.
She shared the legend of Rahu, the Asura who chases and devours sun and moon. Modern astronomy dismisses invisible star-beings affecting celestial bodies—but the world often answers in unexpected ways.

Inspired by museum pieces, this Egyptian-style jewelry is designed to fit the wearer's form, using real gold and gemstones to replicate the faded colors of the ancient kingdom.
The wearer's verdict: a bit cumbersome, restricts wing mobility.

Inspired by the "Dance of the Seven Veils," the beloved Karlo sisters personally tailored an exquisite gown for Isolde called the "Moonlight Veil." Her headpiece, "Desires and Tears," is the crowning glory of the outfit, with pure white lace adding depth and sophistication to the piece, while the pearl necklace, representing tears, accentuates the wearer's soft beauty and elegance.

"This is an important progress we made, but the application of it has yet to be determined." This is what the interviewee said about its colorful flight trail. Considering how much attention it has captured, I believe it can serve as a criterion to distinguish this apple from the rest,if nothing else.

The fan bears embroidered intertwining branches, with tinkling tassels that shield against the sun, wind, and dust, while concealing many secrets. Frequently used as a token of love, the fan's giver and recipient remain known only to a matchmaker who ties their names to a red thread.

Elegant and serene, this piece embodies the pinnacle of art in jewelry, using materials that manage to be not quite prohibitively expensive. It is rumored to have once adorned a queen of the House of Bourbon. Though designed as a broach, it has been tastefully repurposed.

Released in 1893 by Eurybia, the Ocean series immediately became the upper class's favorite for its artful design and the unique color which is slightly brighter than the Prussian blue. As time passed, this color has gradually become the color of Eurybia.

A beautiful pair of high heels that match their name. The point design draws people's attention to the owner's ankles, and the decorative bowknot is in the right place with the right texture, which shows the good taste of both the owner and the maker.
Of course, Mr. Shoemaker never lets you down.

A collar woven from gold and rubies, its design embodies what some might call "the web of desire."
The interviewee denies any association with bondage or restraint, but we still advise readers to treat any chain offered by a demon with caution—contracts and deals included.

This upgraded developer prototype, used by the interviewee as a racing weight, bears an Oxford Street sticker—provided for free by the event organizers as a commemorative souvenir.

A worn and damaged camera. Generally speaking, every photographer is supposed to take good care of their camera, but this photographer should be pardoned for failing to keep his camera in good condition, given the nature of his job.

IDM 5100, the first desktop computer developed by IDM.
A costly product designed for professionals, also a luxury choice for the working class. As the the chief developer, John keeps a prototype to herself without permission—this is totally acceptable. Besides, if you ask any of those who have used it, you'd know it is very useful for self-defense.

A chased copper ewer with a slender neck and circular base, gilded all over, reserved for entertaining esteemed guests during festivals. The interviewee often shares drinks with visitors until dawn, waking up as if from a dream.
As for what they see in their dreams, accounts differ, but all claim they've wandered into a painted scroll.

A black velvet cloak based around the theme "Born Again," designed by the creative director of Elsa Raleigh's flagship brand at the end of the century. The perfect raindrop lace edges, tasseled frills, and asymmetric design highlight the meticulous attention to detail under an overall simple concept.

However, the interviewee stated they were unaware of the artistic significance behind the item, using it only to shield themselves from the sun.

"It has changed owners countless times, and I will not be its last" — Interviewee Statement

The design is rudimentary, lacking the elegance of skilled craftsmanship. It was made by rough, calloused hands and is now held dearly in the delicate arms of a child.

A fashionable, soft necklace. It's not eye-catching, so it is suitable for any occasion.

A renowned craftsman compressed a complex encryption structure into a shoulder-mounted device, creating this portable unit.
Suitable for synchronized computation across multiple settings — hiking, office work, daydreaming, and more.
Interviewees note that the charm of cryptography lies in its fusion of "precise regularity" and "complex disorder," and this device happens to embody exactly that.

The interviewee often carries multiple shoulder bags. The small ones are issued by UTTU, while the larger ones were left behind by a previous Reed. Records show one particular Reed had a deep interest in collecting fashion items, even taking out an advance on next year's salary in order to buy this bag. But every Reed since has agreed: all the bags aside from this one are useless.

The necklace is reminiscent of a compass used to navigate the seas, adorned with a multitude of gemstones that glow brilliantly under the dancing lights of the aurora borealis. Rumor has it that only the stones surrounding the center are real and valuable, while the centerpiece is just a standard cubic zirconia. However, when asked about this speculation, the interviewee remained silent.

An Austin-based fashion designer created this costume based on "Breath of the Windy City" after a series of false starts. It places emphasis on elegance without the need for too many embellishments, and the fabric's hue makes the wearer shine like a star in the limelight.

Custom metal braces offering a fair balance between functionality and convenience—simple and secure enough to defend against any threat. For her, this is ideal.

A knight's helmet, rigid and indomitable—just like its wearer. |
She says that when a moment of clarity is experienced during hardship, the bristles on top seem to perk up as well.

One of the workshop's finest creations—a new vessel for a fragile being, now unafraid of the passage of time.
When it spreads its wings and lifts into the air, the shimmer it casts can hold any gaze.
Interviewees didn't deny its remarkable effect in advertising.

Invented by Laplace Scientific Computing Center, it measures the statistics of the magnetic field in a certain area. When the peak value of the fluctuation reaches a certain number, the device will send a warning signal which orders the user to move forward instead of to step back.

The color-shifting gemstone earrings are said to come from a gem workshop in southern Greece.
The dazzling light of these gems shifts with every angle, like the never-closing eyes on the tail feathers of a goddess's favorite bird.
"Oh, darling, when we talk, you can look into the pair of eyes you like."

A custom fur shawl made primarily from the winter fur of domesticated critters, hand-trimmed and collected by the lady herself. It also incorporates spider silk, synthetic fibers, and ornate feathers left by Dodoughs in the wilderness. No animals or critters were harmed in the manufacturing process.

Inlaid with pearls, adorned with enamel pendants, covered in gold curved into graceful shapes—the theme is unmistakable. Spring arrives, flowers blossom, have the swallows returned?

A treasure from the field, holding golden grains and plumes in radiant bloom.
"Everything in fashion is cyclical, just like the seasons," says the interviewee. Her horn-shaped pouch holds seasonal harvest, captured forever in solidified precious metal.
This sparks rumors—is she expanding her bizarre product line? She answers only with a smile.

A writer's essential weapon—not just for inspiration, but for self-defense. In a pinch, it's also great for opening canned food.
"Once, there was a time when the acid churned in her stomach and burned the back of her throat. Hunger grew with every passing moment and all she could do was stare at the sealed tin before her—determined to never dull the tip of her pen."

Hair styled like clouds, adorned with an awe-inspiring lotus, though the coiled silver snake deters many from starting a conversation.
When asked why the lotus throne hides a transforming snake, the interviewee smiled and whispered, "Hush, don't tell—it's something you shouldn't have seen."

A sophisticated device connecting the interviewee's body and their wand. After the interviewee takes their medicine, it monitors their physical condition and draws their fluids (blood, sweat, tear, etc.) for analysis. Besides, it can also congeal the fluids into bullets which will be fired by the wand in battle.

A handheld censer filled with hot coals and frankincense, provided by Eurybia, the sponsor of the "Midnight Smoke Show." It's used to present incense to the guests.
"It's one of our best brand events from our 'Ocean' series. Through her performance, our fashion philosophy of 'spirituality and self' has been perfectly embodied."

A variety of containers for bubble solutions of all colors. Since the interviewee insists, we will just call them "the Spring of Inspiration from the Great Muse."

"I've wandered through magnificent mountains and rivers, growing accustomed to the cycle of seasons. What remains unchanged is the eternal moon above and the jade-carved object in my hand," the interviewee remarked.

Gold threads run through jade beads, hammered into an accessory for a goddess in a painting, imbued in order to warm the shoulder and neck. When asked about the ruby's origin, the interviewee removed it for closer inspection—it turned out to be just a drop of red paint caught by her wooden puppets.

A weighty gilded cane perfectly suited to its owner's refusal to ever appear ordinary.
Besides supporting her gait, it also chases off anyone who offends her sense of style. Most of our team were deemed suitable—our disheveled editor wasn't so lucky.

A mithril candelabrum enchanted to filter light and heat to blend with the moonlight, causing its flames to glow a pale, lustrous blue.
"This little flame marks the last line between sanity and madness. As long as the candle keeps burning, one remains connected to the civilized world."

A winter hat purchased by the interviewee before boarding a cruise. With its traditional design and intricate beadwork, it stands out from the crowd even in the harshest of Arctic winds.

A high-carbon steel accessory, created during the interviewee's fourteenth summer.
While she and her cousin sought refuge from the summer heat in a cellar, they discovered the remains of a stone wing that undoubtedly belonged to their ancestors. After reconstructing the carving's unique design, they commissioned a family member skilled in armor forging to recreate it in high-carbon steel.
Years later, it reappeared on the interviewee's head as a distinctive protective charm.

A splendidly designed necklace, with the centerpiece gem being especially captivating. She has seen countless dazzling lies, but clearly chosen to reward herself with something authentic while strolling about the familiar old city.

A sheer robe woven with stars and eclipsed suns, as soft as nightfall, and far from a traditional design.
She generously offers to explain the imagery: a prophecy of a future where the sun is extinguished and a new blue star ascends to take its place. The writer doesn't believe in prophecy, but her calm expression as she describes it is nonetheless unsettling.

A piece of gear that's both stylish and practical, capable of blocking a dragon's breath attack—once.
Before the game even started, the adventurer insisted on calling it this to "save time coming up with fancy names for equipment."

A cane shaped like a key, fully crafted from Arcanist metal. Capped with what is, in fact, a key.
According to the interviewee, thanks to the precise alloy blend, the cane can function as an arcane staff, voltage tester, lightning rod, door latch, or even a crowbar.

Part of a costume someone forgot to take off after a performance in Chicago. Naturally, it became the actor's souvenir.
The actor herself doesn't remember when the performance in question ended, or even when it began.

A cherished evening dress worn by the interviewee on significant occasions. She spent her first earnings on this gown to step onto bigger and further stages. Now, she takes it out of her wardrobe once again.

A golden fruit shimmering with an arcane glow. The interviewee readily admits it comes from Laplace's arcane materials warehouse.
"Oui, it's actually a Fruit of Good and Evil. I painted it together with my siblings. If it looks familiar to you—that's right, I modeled it after the images in the archives.
It's my new project: myth interpretation!"

A fake temple pillar, easily transportable and used as a landing spot during shoots to protect the real artifact.
Perhaps, from the perspective of the interviewee, a thousand-year-old pillar and an old tree trunk may be indistinguishable from one another ...

A self-assigned homework project by the interviewee—an attempt to fuse arcane skills with ley line theory.
Determining one's future isn't easy. That's why a heart that longs to gather light and find the way matters. This device, though rudimentary, reflects that hope.

A practical coat, styled like a military uniform. Though having accompanied the interviewee for many years, it still looks as good as new, with only slight wear at the cuffs and the bottom of the zipper. For the interviewee, this coat is not prized for its warmth, but more for its use as a sort of huge "carry-on bag," carrying multiple batteries within it for emergencies.

A compact astrological aid device, offering stellar positioning and projection—designed to aid teamwork.
The interviewee admits his decoding project in astrology requires further collaboration. "Luckily, I have a few colleagues with the right background. I had to do something to attract partners. This instrument was one of my preparations."

A tool often used by humans in geophysical prospecting, yet imbued with unmistakable arcane modifications. The interviewee demonstrated its paramount importance in the study of ley lines—presenting it as a symbol of the arcanum's interdisciplinarity.

When the party won their first battle against a lord-tier foe and reached their first post-battle trading post, the ranger spent all her goblin-plundered gold on this hand crossbow, bought from the best merchant around. In hindsight, it was worth every coin.

Invented by Laplace Scientific Computing Center, it can fine-tune the magnetic field and the electric current. It's not a frequently-used device, but it's necessary for any therapist who wishes to keep the patients' magnetic fields regular and perfect.

Several interconnected hexagons with a unique structure and arrangement seemingly implying some self-evident order. "Theoretically, this symbolizes completeness," said the interviewee, "but it has been carried away by seagulls so many times that the joints are badly worn."

The interviewee never goes anywhere without a fungus recycler, which is now placed in the layout provided by the clothing company.
This ingenious use of space just happens to emphasize the backpack's spacious capacity and sturdiness. The mushrooms growing on the surface are a nice touch to the otherwise simple design.

A wing-shaped headpiece crafted from feathers, thorns, and wrought iron, adorned with neatly arranged raven feathers, glowing in deep blue and purple hues. Alongside her cherished staff, it will witness prosperity returning to the forest.

A new type of machine that integrates biology, chemistry, and physics. It has a mature nutrient solution recycling system and creates an almost natural, portable ecosystem. Medicine Pocket was involved in its making. Now held by Ezra of the Laplace Australian branch.

A practical garment balancing functionality and aesthetics, capable of providing a comfortable temperature for ectothermic snake species.
According to the interviewee, she and her colleagues won first prize at Laplace's annual "Creature-Friendly Invention" competition—though it should be noted there were only two competing teams.

An imported fan made from sandalwood with ribs carved in Baroque patterns adorned by the thinnest silk, favored by Europeans.
When unfurled, it gently wafts out a delightful fragrance capable of soothing guests, lifting their spirits, and helping them find "peaceful awareness."

A rarely seen wooden wheelchair, born from a thousand years of Mohist craftsmanship. It responds to the faintest movement, as though it were a part of the rider's own body, and is fully equipped with a flying crossbow and silk lantern.
There are rumors that 108 mechanisms are hidden within—enough for one man to become an army and slay his enemies in an instant. Hearing this, the interviewee simply laughed and wheeled away.

A brooch clinging to a floral eye, its lines flowing like molten gold.
A suit is a person's cover; the brooch is their signature. "Don't become the kind of book you see everywhere," she advised.

A gilded copper hand mirror decorated with clover and beech leaf motifs. Rather than watch her own reflection, the interviewee seems drawn to the grotesque relief on the back, its warped smile always seeming to follow the viewer.
"There is no doubting the beauty of the mirror, but I find mirrors only show comfortable lies. I'd rather face what's real."

A highly functional cloak, sewn by the interviewee and designed specifically for covert operations. She skillfully cut a piece of "night," allowing herself to vanish into the darkness.
While the cloak was created for battlefield use, its precise stitching and choice of specialized textiles suggest that the interviewee possesses extensive knowledge of tailoring.

A hat with an unusually wide brim, meant to conceal the interviewee's fair hair and let it blend into the night.
Within its ruby ornament lies a drop of vampire blood, its scent a quiet guarantee to the castle's master that the midnight banquet shall proceed as planned, with no uninvited guests in attendance.

A robe more symbolic than it is functional. Its style departs significantly from common Laplace uniforms, which the interviewee says he's pleased with. He claims it "resonates with the cosmos but defies convention." Clearly, he sees his clothing as an expression of belief: "Witnessing the cycle isn't the point. Progress never comes from staying stuck in it."

A waist accessory with a star shape, linked with circles and triangles. It is a symbol of the graduate swordsman. The geometric lines represent endless exploration in the art of combat. It has been said that this trinket can command a small army.

When asked about the origin of the headpiece, the interviewee responded by playing a cheerful tune. Another interviewee recognized it as a festival melody they once heard while passing through a small town.
We chose to archive both the headpiece and the song. Perhaps music, when used as a form of communication, carries a quiet magic all its own.

A measuring instrument crafted from brass, infused with a trace of arcane metal to make it lighter and easier to carry.
Long ago, it sowed the seeds of Ley Lines, from which the path now unfolds.

Film rolls specially modified by Laplace, significantly differing in material, color, and weight from standard ones. These rolls are vital for the interviewee to form their daily memories and maintain a sense of identity.
The specific technology Laplace used to achieve this function has been buried within the vast "memories" of the interviewee. After searching fruitlessly for an hour, they declared it to be classified.

Built to suit the interviewee's body and habits, this prosthetic boasts flexible joints and an almost perfectly lifelike weight and appearance, making it a genuine work of art.
Nevertheless, the interviewee describes it as "an ugly, awkward fire poker."

A heavy yet supple fabric, sturdy enough—hopefully—to withstand the chill of the underworld.
In Athens, the interviewee commissioned her favorite verses to be embroidered in gold thread onto this garment. It cost her a small yet painstakingly saved fortune.
But she believes it was worth every coin: wherever she travels, even along the dark banks of the Styx, poetry will be there with her.

Custom-made for the Druvis family by Lugus, this 1900 commemorative edition is a part of the premium series of Samildánach Jewelry. It is also the only luxury accessory Druvis III wears. It first came out in October 1911, at a birthday party held by a mother for her daughter.

The cravat shines brighter than the person wearing it.
Before heading out, Ms. Bouanich meticulously fastened the tails of her cravat with a gold pin, determined to maintain its perfect symmetry through a day of ocean gusts, hot cheese, and overly enthusiastic companions.

A racket with a silver-plated toothfairy emblem and natural catgut strings. Its tension is extraordinary, but its lack of durability and high price deter many athletes. This must be one of her trump cards.

A light and flowing textile said by the interviewee to be in the style of the Sirens.
She never expected to meet distant kin in this age. She paints the moment of reunion, and in return, she receives a Greek-style vocal lesson—along with this veil, light as a sea breeze.

The interviewee always wears moth-shaped objects hinting at her true identity while working, sometimes as patterns and motifs, sometimes as jewelry. It is said this helps her reveal her identity when necessary. The interviewee never worries this might attract unnecessary identification, because most people cannot distinguish between different kinds of insects.

Clean, tidy, spotless, and every fold perfectly flat. "Anyone who can keep a scarf like this so immaculate all year round is truly a terrifying entity," the reporters of our agency unanimously agreed.

The crafting of a fine longbow is as complex as the crafting of a ritual wand. In terms of material selection, both require similar attention to detail.
With her deep knowledge of oak, the lady was immediately drawn to the bow. After a brief touch of the wood, she realized—the bowyer had once studied under her family, as she could hear the faint whispers within the beech.

An unprecedented amazing machine. The round speaker has a special retro beauty of its time, and is able to capture and convert ghosts into energy. It emits heat and rumbles lightly when it functions. “Like carrying a kitten on your lower back!” That's her conclusion.

A merch of the sensational "Li'l Scarface" series, only distributed in Texas cinemas during the movie's release. A priceless item among collectors. Once buried at the bottom of the film crew's prop vault, it was dug up and brought back into the public eye by the interviewee.

An Arcanist camera with a 35mm lens, capable of being loaded with either Arcane or ordinary film. Portable and capable of producing clear images, it can capture the most heartstopping moments.
Or it is able to make the small moments of a journey timeless, like catching a drop of the surging river.

The lamp's glow is faint, barely illuminating the ground beyond two or three meters—dimmer even than a cheap kerosene lamp.
The interviewee often peers into it. When the writer asked what he could see inside, he replied, "Other people's curious expressions."

It was once as fragile as the interviewee herself, its petals curled, its color faded, unable even to withstand a single gentle touch.
Later, through carefully measured dehydration and desiccation, it was permanently fixed at the moment before its withering.
"This was a gift from my mother," the interviewee recalled. "She told me, 'One day, you too will be able to walk against the wind, strong and healthy.'"

The key to Su-01ве.
An important tool used to activate the brooms. There isn't much to say about its ordinary design.

A crown made of gold and silver, each leaf intricately carved to show her victories and glory. However, the thorns and weight also constantly remind the wearer of the sacrifices made to achieve this glory.

Multiple badges pinned to the interviewee's waist and chest, engraved with different arcane symbols representing enlightenment and ...
"No one cares what those things actually mean," the interviewee cut in. "But they've got a nice bite to them. Want to try?"
Since the badges' material remains unverified, the writer strongly advises readers against imitating this peculiar habit ...

The classic black top hat, standard for all magic performances. Before wearing, be sure to shake out any lingering rose or lily petals.
Pulling rabbits, doves, or ribbons from it is an old tradition—but the interviewee has other plans. "No, this is the art of the unexpected. Following tradition and wearing it is just another way of breaking expectations."

A pair of wings woven from vines, delicate and flexible. The interviewee sees it as a proper adornment for one who bears both witness and blessing.
While the wings don't grant the ability of flight, they do serve a purpose—giving a sense of immersion into "Paradise."

Every Russian child knows it—it is the second blanket, under which one wraps oneself against the icy wind of the long winter. It can be made of various materials; in general, the wool ones are warmer than the cotton ones, and the patterns embroidered with gold thread last much longer than the usual colored threads... the list goes on.

Once buried deep underground, the colors aren't particularly rare and were only lightly polished before inlaying.
With a smile, the interviewee shared a few stories linked to them—proof of her knack for keeping the small, shiny things in life.

A sacred cloak that separates its wearer from the secular world.
The interviewee reveals not a trace of skin below the neck. Perhaps this deprivation of touch and physical feeling is also a form of practice.

Utterly unremarkable black frame glasses. They come with perks only a fan would notice and an inexplicably high price tag.
This product was only sold during the premiere of "X-Ray Monkeyman". There weren't many buyers, and now there are just 300 prototypes left on the market.

A lady's hat meeting the aesthetic standards of the Edwardian era. The hatter specially set a gold-striped organza as the main decoration to balance its proportions after widening the brim. This hat is also adorned with long dyed green eagle feathers, allowing the wearer to stand out silently when necessary. This is a special customization, as the wearer of such an item is usually not so ostentatious.

A silver belt adorned with yellow agate symbolizing her roots and the blessings she received. Whether she wears it depends on the mission. Better to leave her "Nanny's Blessings" at home than lose it on the battlefield.

A keepsake given to the special guests at a party.
A young investigator, when on minor field assignments, needs a mature-looking utility handbag to properly carry her Foundation ID, communication device, and childishness.

A walking stick named "Truth." It supports not the body, but the soul. Perhaps "Experience" would be a more fitting name.
On his long spiritual journey, all he can rely upon is experience—his own, his predecessors', and theirs before them.

Customized as it is, this black wig is still a bit too large for the owner. Rather than its ordinary quality and shape, the owner seems to value the symbolic meaning beyond its form.

A seasonal release from a young luxury brand. The respondent couldn't care less about its disastrous price tag or its even more disastrous design—just as long as it makes her look more like a genuine "Pink Lady".

A slender shotgun disguised within a meticulously folded umbrella, all in an effort to avoid alarming passengers.
Until the trigger is pulled, few would ever imagine a hunter's silver bullet to fly out instead of an umbrella cover.

A metal companion that grows alongside children and follows them deep into the earth. Its blade once caught the firelight of life. The original silver scabbard is rarely displayed and is more often repurposed as a carving knife. The use of an object depends on the person, and this one proves that well.

From the crests and foam of the sea the designer drew inspiration, weaving a snippet of nature's verse into lace that graces this dress.

Merch from the sensational "Li'l Scarface" series, this doll was sold for a limited time at the premiere. It was not cheap. Through playful shoving, squealing, and giggling with her female companions, she skillfully pocketed it under the pretense of congeniality.

A helmet crafted from arcane materials offering protection, style, and warmth.​ When questioned about the furry attachments on either side, the smith and interviewee share a recurring dream featuring a solitary wolf of unknown origins.

Those little things probably can't keep up with her.

A necklace with clear South Asian influences, encrusted with green crystals, garnets, and many other jewels.
The interviewee had not intended to buy it until the stall owner at Chauhari Market hinted that this antique necklace would bring good fortune and make wishes come true.
Thus she hurriedly paid a large fistful of rupees.

A silver-and-shell hand ornament that gives off a curious chime when tapped.
Many myths describe her people as wielders of mystical powers—singing enchanting songs, brewing strange potions, or raising towering waves of vengeance. She doesn't deny there's truth in some of the tales, but to her, these hands are most powerful not for destruction, but for what they create.

A carefully tailored tutu with a dramatic color scheme. The girl had always had a bountiful imagination, but never in her wildest dreams did she think such a dream-like opportunity would present itself to a newcomer such as herself.
"My dear, gifted girl. Try it on. You were born to be 'her'. "

An old notebook bound with a belt and a simple dowsing rod. The former contains observations and research on fungi stuffed with so many slips of paper and photos that there is a high risk of them scattering. The latter, inspired by an ancient water-divining witchcraft, was remodeled by a technical specialist at the Laplace, enhancing its usability and value.

A classic Victorian-style soft hat from the venerable Swedish atelier LINNR A. Only ten are made each year.
The front of the crown is adorned with delicate handmade lace, while the body is wrapped in moss silk. Its matte texture absorbs all harsh light, protecting the delicate young lady who wears it.
"I saw a black cat, a crow, and a blood-red moon. Was it a dream? Oh, how I'd love to dance among them."
The interviewer observed that, as she spoke of this, her eyes shone like panes of stained glass catching the light.

A valuable saddle, maintained with top-quality mink oil.
Purchased by its owner at auction, it appeared in the decennial horse racing festival.

Parrots are often held to be divine messengers, capable of conversing with both humans and gods through their gift of speech. However, the stylist adorned the interviewee with the feathers not as a testament to her skills but to endow this elegant attire with a touch of passion and courage.

Fallen eagle feathers are gathered and woven into a cloak, as if the wearer has gained the wings of an Adar Llwch Gwin.
The wearer has a natural affinity with birds, and even as a child enjoyed flapping about with a sheet alongside young eagles. Their feathers are warm and soft, yet when they spread their wings, they possess the power to soar skyward. The wearer crafted this Feathered Witch Cape for herself, dreaming that in her next life she might become an Adar Llwch Gwin.

A silver flute that produces an even clearer, brighter tone than most. Its birdlike notes can pierce through dense forests and carry to the far side of mountains, drawing distant songs in response.
However, when the writer asked if she might sing a few impromptu lines, the interviewee grew noticeably reluctant. Rumor has it that her singing voice was so dreadful it once silenced the crying children of her clan at night.

Ding, ding—the clinking of silver provides the perfect percussion for dance. When dancing around the fire, the interviewee adorns herself with every piece of silver jewelry she owns.
When the writer asked about their weight, their true meaning was unexpectedly revealed: they symbolize her parents' love.

A splendid sash that shines like the golden sparks of inspiration in a scholar's mind.
The interviewee received it in a modest Athenian home, at a gathering where there was an abundance of poetry, debate, theater, and wine. The interviewee woke groggily in a bundle of soft cloth, clutching a gift from an Athenian philosopher—a token in memory of an everlasting friendship.

A suit ornament shaped like bones, dotted with blood-red gems.
It was the interviewee(s)' most lavish ornament, and the one they knew best.
"I kept my eyes on it, pondering on its meaning without pause. I saw death fall upon it. Every image I made was an ode to it—'nevermore,' 'nothing more.' In the end I followed it, and over a time that felt almost eternal, I returned to quiet."

A comfortable night dress with buttons and straps on the side. Its design is simple, but includes excellent workmanship. As for the material, it has applied Mosst, the core product of a time-honored Swedish workshop LINNRA.
Made with the skin and alveoli of moss trout and the silk, cotton and linen from the east, it feels smooth on the outside and as soft as moss on the inside, making it the best choice for those with sensitive skin.

An ancient silver-and-jade longevity lock pendant with a tiger carved into its surface. It has been with its owner for over a decade. The interviewee says she's stayed healthy and escaped danger countless times thanks to it. Perhaps the writer should consider wearing such a talisman herself.

A delicate silk band which the interviewee received from her parents as a reward for her outstanding grades. It was sold at a price much higher than the production cost. Its size was not suitable for a 10-year-old in the beginning, but she has grown tall enough to fit it.

An exquisitely designed earring with a round ruby at its center. When the interviewee stood to hang ornaments on the Christmas tree, the snowflake-shaped drop swayed gently, emitting a delicate, shivering chime.
"Red—the color of fire. It suits the warmth of the hearth, don't you think?" the interviewee explained. "Just perfect for the holiday season."
Yet the interviewer couldn't help but feel that the interviewee herself embodied the spirit of the holidays more than any ornament could.

A smokeless rifle with finely engraved detailing, meticulously maintained inside and out. The rifling bears not a speck of grime, guaranteeing each bullet departs at peak velocity to pierce cleanly through the skull of any who would shatter the peace. Peace, of course, is forged by weapons—it always has been.

As it flutters and sways, the delicate butterfly form gives an air of harmlessness. Few can see that what glimmers between those pearl-adorned wings are needles sharp enough to kill with a single strike.

A silk mantle of excellent quality that matches the tastefully designed kurta perfectly. Tennant can easily dress herself up as a member of the local gentry, a skill that can be traced to the days when she ambled along the streets of the city.

A rocket backpack named after a video game character. The related technology is derived from equipment owned by a certain airship captain and upgraded using portable energy tanks to provide increased power. "Though it's just child's play, it's so fun that even we're addicted!" Laplace researchers commented on the production process.

A relatively new bronze key, indistinguishable from most ordinary keys, worn around the neck of the interviewee to become an unignorable visual focus on her person. We tried to explore the significance of the key with the interviewee, who directly demonstrated to our editor how she uses it to open and close her maintenance compartment with a swift series of motions.

A finely woven, deep green travel cloak—sturdy, dirt-resistant, and perfect for keeping out the night's chill. However, when the host announces a long rest, the ranger often drapes it over her Splintercat companion, preferring to curl up against its warm, soft fur instead.

Its hardware is worn, and its leather is wrinkled due to water damage. For a genuine leather case cherished by its owner, it hasn't been well-maintained. However, considering the mirrors and arcanum trinkets inside, it's surprising that it has survived the ordeal of its owner proving their identity.

A standard government-issue ring-pommel saber. As a government-issued blade, it is unremarkable. Yet as a symbol of the highest supervisory authority of its era, it has weathered countless storms.
The sheath is engraved with the names of its seven successive owners.

The teeth of some carnivorous South American animal. A trophy isn't always paid for in blood; it can also be a token of friendship—or, of course, sold to local vendors for a good price when money is tight.

The swaying beaded fabric cannot fully conceal the interviewee's figure—such a sparse veil isn't meant to hide her face from others but to ward off those butterfly-like spirits.
Sensing the writer's gaze as she said this, the interviewee smiled behind the veil. "No, not the one on my head. I wove that one myself."

A fringed shawl inspired by dense drooping leaves, exuding a subtle sheen under the sunlight. Unfolding it is like opening a page of a poem about the colorful summer.
Drifting atop the clear Sucuri River, no one cares about fashion. Fortunately, the interviewee doesn't mind, as she is here only for the water.

Crafted from tireless dedication, unwavering discipline, and a deep belief in justice, this uniform symbolizes the wearer's commitment.
"My actions must never betray the honor of the Vigiles." Though spoken softly, these words resonate with conviction.

Worn and battered, but still solid. It's likely a mercenary bought this breastplate after a hefty contract. It held strong through salty winds, enemy blades, and the long erosion of time.

A performance prop in the theater troupe. The towering hat and the intricate patterns are much better suited to the stage and shows, rather than to daily life. The hat itself has a plain design and does not have much value, but the feather at the brim is rather expensive.

Strings loop around a resonating chamber, with knobs used to adjust their length—this is a small mechanism responsible for pitch control.
After careful tuning, the interviewee can perform like a bizarre yet beautiful instrument, like a faintly lost soul still searching for herself, trapped within a body fully objectified. The knob can change pitch, but it cannot measure the soul.

An oddly-shaped axe, or a combination of axe and gun. It requires certain strength and technique to aim with it, so this weapon is actually not suitable for everyone.
Even though it looks nothing like a hand axe, the interviewee still insists that it is called "Hand-adz."

A waist chain and anklets strung with bells. Legends say the mage learned a long-lost secret from an ancient being, replacing traditional incantations with dance steps that harmonize with chimes and firelight, wielding the power to drive away fiends. The crisp bell sounds also perfectly mask the "thud-thud" of a prosthetic limb touching the ground.

A soft hat adorned with brass keys, structured with a stiff inner lining and tightly wrapped in soft fabric.
Judging by its appearance, the interviewee speculates that the "original modification plan" might have included turning her head into a French horn. She is glad her head does not produce resonant airflow vibrations and prefers the hat as a simple decoration.

5,241 incantations are stored within this glass bird, and the wearer has tested nearly all of them.
She chose this Prophetic Bird by instinct—by an 'inner impulse.' It was the first sign of her becoming a genius witch. This delighted both her father, whose family has long been closely tied to Adar Llwch Gwins, and her mother, who hoped she would become an all-capable witch.

A seven-holed flute. The interviewee handles it deftly, as though conversing with an old friend.
From her manner, it seems the flute is to her what a shadow is to its bearer—inseparable, ever-present, and bound to her being.

The interviewee purchased this genuine leather saddle at his own expense, having it tailor-made to fit his hobby horse, making it look very much the part of an extravagant plaything.
"A real ranger needs a real saddle!" the interviewee declared, even though his horse isn't a real horse.

An antique brass compass with a weathered finish. Allegedly rescued from a fire at the Southern Outlaws Saloon, a place where only nimble rodents could sneak into at the time.
In the long and bushy tale that followed, the interviewee put great emphasis on his heroic deed—but conveniently forgot to explain just how he got this antique compass in the first place.

An oddly shaped electric oven found at a junk market. Laplace researchers modified it based on designs scribbled in a notebook, and wearing it "fills you with power."
According to the interviewee, the design was inspired by a highly popular video game character.

A high-quality crystal lens. Clear vision reflects a clear mind—essential for any philosopher, especially an apple steeped in ancient Greek thought.
Besides, a sharp view helps with the dizziness that comes after one too many glasses of wine.

The standard-issue weapon distributed by the Zeno Arms Academy, consisting of a pair of revolvers, one long-barreled and one short, to handle various situations. Displaying one's martial prowess is not only a way for a soldier to intimidate their enemies, but also a cunning trick for a girl at the gambling table.

This long cloak, once all the rage among women for its unique collar design, continues to be a favorite for the interviewee long after the trend had been forgotten.
Its hem strategically conceals her legs from the side and rear, sparing her from unwanted attention.

A portable music player that debuted in the early 1990s. This rare model was known for its full and vibrant bass tones, highly compatible with country music, making it popular among some hobbyists.
The interviewee admitted that she was not a fan of any one music genre in particular, and that the music in this player is in fact a necessary medical precaution. She wishes she could enjoy a live concert in its entirety without being interrupted by her asthma.

A hat, emblematic of a train conductress's identity. When asked about it, the interviewee described it in calm, measured tones:
"It was made by the greatest tailor in all Oreinósia—Iglika of the 'Danube Dawn.'"
Lady Corvus's fingers traced down from the brim of the hat, along the "lines" of her own face, before she cut herself short.

A pure white shawl with a mystical aura, intricately woven with openwork geometric patterns, serving as a doorway to ancient wisdom.
"Wearing geometry doesn't do much to inspire creativity," the interviewee calmly declares.

"What you see is a dream within a dream," the interviewee(s) stated. "We are swathed in moonlight—the masque never ends. I donned this cloak and took on the role of another. From then on, the living could no longer discern my identity, and I too merged into that dream, becoming one of its many disassociated images."

A new costume handmade by the interviewee for her part in King Lear. It used to be a military dress before it was modified to fit the interviewee. Its design style is a good example of the trend where people perform Shakespeare plays in costumes of their times, as well as a proof of the troupe's efforts in adapting to the changing environment.

An "unusual" syringe.
Its casing is cast from lightweight alloy. The interviewee prepares the solution—a mixture of mercury, sulfur, and small amounts of purified chemical extracts.
The writer noticed a tube connected to the rear of the syringe. When asked about its purpose, they explained: the formula requires their blood as a base. They have conducted this experiment hundreds of times already.

A silver circlet. It remains attached to her no matter how she moves, as if it were a part of her body. The engraved patterns likely originate from the steppe of her homeland. She once mentioned: "When something moves me, it must be connected to a place I've lived."

A gift from a foreign land, born from parental concern mistaken as care.
In an attempt to break down her closed door, her parents gave her a piece of worldly noise. Instinctively, she discovered that sunlight affects radio wave stability. To receive a clear signal, she often went out at night, seeking open high places to listen to fixed music channels.
When the ionosphere distorts the audio signal, the music sometimes twists into ghostly wails, yet she feels a sense of peace—true silence.

He calls it "a useless brass tube that just happens to be in my pocket," but judging from its odd shape, it is easy to surmise that it is a crucial part of a huge machine.

A modified tungsten spotlight mounted on the interviewee's wheelchair, enabling the director to light a scene and shoot at any moment.
According to the interviewee, its most practical use is illuminating dark paths at night.

One of the velvet hats that were à la mode among the ladies of London. In a city where trends change like the weather, knowing which hat to wear for the right occasion is an essential part of a lady's education.
"Just to be clear, the feather on this hat isn't a critter feather as the shopkeeper claimed. It's a plain old ostrich feather," the interviewee commented.

Mr. Fog purchased this item from the same millinery he got the interviewee, and later gifted it to him upon his awakening.
The woolen fabric could possibly hold some form of kinship with the interviewee.

A silver bangle in a winding design that rests upon the wrist. Tennant found it in a small shop in Delhi and succeeded in slashing the asking price to a tenth of what it was in less than twenty minutes. This was a relaxing diversion. In fact, she did not consider the red glass on it to be a flaw.

A budget-friendly padded shoulder coat chosen unexpectedly by the interviewee. Despite its affordability, the structured design and prominent shoulder pads remain an iconic Hong Kong style.
"This coat is practical. Look, with these shoulder pads, Aa Sing can sit on my shoulders comfortably," the interviewee explained.

A durable crossbody bag used by the interviewee to store her "memory rolls," charging cables, and other essentials. Evident signs of wear suggest it has endured countless challenges. The interviewee remarked that anyone who can carry this bag might consider entering a weightlifting championship.

A transparent skirt, more decorative than practical, resembling waves that silently recede before dawn. The fish-tail design, rippling like water, was inspired by a beautiful vision of a certain oceanic race.
The interviewee mentions that she once had concerns about its origin, but no longer.

A dark-glimmering headpiece shaped like hollow butterfly wings, its curve disturbingly precise.
We must warn readers: perfect fit often comes from stripping away will and freedom.

A revolver wand modified by arcanum technology. It's seldom pulled out, yet it is kept at its best. It is loaded with a special kind of gunpowder designed and mixed by herself. She can turn it into diamond bullets through arcane skill and fire them into her enemy's chest.

A golden-threaded floral face ornament—nothing suits a young girl's features better than a pair of flowers.
For a succubus, charm flows as naturally as a flower's scent. She seems unaware of her own blooming allure. Such innocent life.

A soft, iridescent gown crafted by the skilled women of Lesbos and Chios.
The history of the Gorgon may be as long as these islands themselves. To explore the subtopic "Origins of Myth," the interviewee and her siblings spent a long time traveling around the region. She admits that convincing the local Daughters of Artemis to lay down their bows was the hardest part of the research.
"But it was worth it—I witnessed a rare ritual. Be sure to read my new paper!"

A special helmet designed for the Soviet air force. It is made of Wurt hide, a species able to endure the bitter cold, and a secret refined metal. Owing to the special materials and craftsmanship involved, it is incredibly expensive. The bear ear design on top inevitably increases air drag, but it doesn't seem to bother her at all.

A wheel supported by five spokes with a smooth surface that is regularly polished.
Made by a craftsman who normally forges weapons, it is rumored to be their first foray into something different.

Often mistaken for a gardening toolkit. According to the interviewee, it contains professional mushroom-collecting tools, such as a small brush for sweeping spores and a rake for moving pine needles. The care and logical arrangement of the tools indicate the interviewee's meticulous and tidy nature.

It should have been a birthday present from her father. It took months to craft such a unique necklace, and it could have been given to her in a more proper way. Sadly it wasn't.

A pair of high-heeled uniform boots provided by the Foundation. The crossed laces on the shoes are a common design which often symbolizes obedience. She was a model student with excellent performance when she was trained in the Foundation.

The champion belt of the Turbot Cup Youth Group. It shows how skillful and capable this young girl is. Her habit of carrying it around reveals how much she hopes to meet her own number one fan.

It is a mediocre violin, but it has been carefully maintained along its time-honored history. Anyone can tell that every owner took good care of it.

Invented by Laplace Scientific Computing Center, it can improve the user's perception of animal magnetism. It is part of the standard uniform of the rehabilitation center staff, as requested in the Dress Code of the department. However, Mesmer Jr. keeps it turned off in most of the time.

A nun's veil is made of two layers of silk. Despite the lighter fabric, its mass can still cause neck pain if worn for too long.

A functional suit designed for low-intensity flight needs.
Unique in style, the craftsmanship comes from the same production line as many official military goods, serving multiple purposes from reducing wind resistance to providing warmth. "Most importantly, the price is incredibly reliable!" she says candidly.

Designed after the Colt M1911, the barrel and magazine have been modified with Arcanum to load a particular type of bullet. These weapons are in high demand among arcanists, but their production is a mystery.

A soft, comfortable woolen rug, which is highly thermal. It's hard to say whether it is eye-catching enough as an accessory, but it is indeed necessary for such a weak girl.

Two identical garments, each embroidered with patterns depicting the grand march of the small, marching as they rise above death.
"That way! Go there!"
The children point resolutely toward the farthest point. None know what the children would face on their journey ... but the interviewee hints that whoever reached the end shall be crowned king.

The estimate price stated above is how much this cow ... this DUU-DUU-BELL-BOO used to cost. Many has changed, but maybe it's still worth the same now.

A crown made of branches and leaves, adorned with black gold paper-cut moth wings and embellished with plump, lifelike pearls. Its natural upward angle gives it an elegant touch that will never go out of style. The beauty of naturalistic aesthetics is timeless.

"It's all a haze, like mist drifting across my eyes. It takes me back to Vienna before the 'Storm' arrived."​
The interviewee speaks softly, lifting her arm as the gray veil slips aside, revealing a golden bracelet encircling her wrist.
"Don't let it fool you."

A sturdy, spacious, used writing box that shows obvious wear to its wooden exterior. Its interior features a flat writing surface, storage compartments, and a lockable secret drawer. She has traveled many roads with it and the two have endured many long nights together.

The train of a gown specially tailored to enhance the stage effect.
Flawless performance is about more than musical skill—the interviewee knows this well. During the show, a streak of blue whizzes over the audience's heads, joining the fireworks and music to create a truly breathtaking moment.

Sunglasses purchased at Harrods, London during a seasonal sale. The UV rays of the high seas are so strong that a pair of sunglasses is necessary for protection. Evidently, Regulus' reason for buying it isn't that, but it looks "soooooo cool!"

A hand-knitted scarf with patterns deeply inspired by the traditional cultures of the Far East. Mothers often knit these warming garments before their children embark on distant journeys, and this scarf is no exception.

A pair of durable and breathable white gloves brought from the interviewee's hometown. With these gloves, the interviewee can safely make contact with all kinds of potions during their act of sabotage.

A green line cuts through a black-and-white checkered world—just the dash of mania the routine needed.
Not a bad pairing.

An ancient instrument said to carry the love of a mythical poet in its strings.
To chronicle the departed with pen and paper once felt too vast a task—too easy to lose oneself in the palace of details. But when the interviewee heard the lyre during the Dionysian festival, it dawned on her: perhaps the strings, too, are a way to remember.

A tie inspired by measuring tape and tailor's shears—simple materials, unforgettable design.
He says it captures his philosophy: classic, traditional, yet sharp and fashionable. Out of respect for his confidence, we did not ask how long it will be before cheap copies flood the market.

A tea set for beverages and desserts. These pieces arrived at the castle across different eras. A century ago, the old master favored the silver teapot, while his great-granddaughter treasured the porcelain teacups. Now they are all lifted gently by a steady hand, producing melodious, layered chimes as they're set down—bringing delicacies and attentive care to every guest.

A weathered red cloak, pocked with scorch marks and frayed edges, flares behind him. The interviewee loves it for the thunderous roar it makes when it catches the wind.
"Is this fast enough for you? Watch this! The dial's about to explode!"
With a snap of fabric, the interviewee accelerates towards the horizon in a blur.

An umbrella wand custom-made at J&S Umbrella Workshop, London, by the last Fogwalker, and a highly efficient conductor of arcanum energy. The handle and the body are made of the same piece of ebony, which makes it hard and durable. On the body is carved "For My Son Oliver": it was supposed to be a present for Oliver on his 18th birthday, but unfortunately he got it as an inheritance.

A doll that was very popular in the interviewee's hometown and was called "Ursa" by the manufacturer. It looks adorable, but was expensive and in short supply. The best representation of a parent spoiling their child. The tight ribbon around its neck is meant to prevent it from getting lost.
"There are so many places to go to on our adventures. It's for its own good."
She said.

Rumor has it this bell was once worn by a famous actress in one of her most iconic films.
But our interviewee seemed more interested in its practical use:
"It can summon those who have strayed too far from home—whether they're living, dead, or just a little Critter lost on a snowy night."

A chain of antique bells fashioned into an adornment. As each home receives their floral gifts, the ringing of the bells is enough to announce the arrival of spring—no other greetings are necessary.
The interviewee did not give a specific reason for wearing the bells, but the joyful jingle they produced as she danced spoke more than any words could convey.

A magnificent beard designed to enhance one's warrior presence—always thick, well-groomed, and requiring no maintenance.
Every dwarf treasures their beard, and laughing at one is the surest way to earn a warrior's wrath.

A robe she wore when she worked as a judge at the Inquisition. In most cases, judges are required to wear it only when they need to attend hearings or trials at the court. Her robe, however, has been through all the dangers and difficulties with her.

They used to be as aggressive and dangerous as any other critters, but now they are tamed and obedient. At least they seem to be so for the moment. Everyone should get one!

The hat has an exceptionally wide brim, even among the various hats on the gentlemen's heads in Paris. The wide brim is not only useful for covering her eyes to create a dangerous yet attractive atmosphere, but it also helps her to get away and blend into crowd when her lies are exposed.

A silk ribbon that has been neatly fixed to the uniform. Accessories appearing where they should be is what we consider "conforming to the rules." Matching clothes this way gives a sense of security but is also boring.

A pair of gilded earrings. There is nothing special about its workmanship or background. After the owner became Ms. Sotheby's tutor, they were immediately replaced by a pair of ruby earrings which were a gift from Ms. Sotheby.

The wearer has repeatedly insisted that its true purpose is as a "proof of concept." Whatever the reality of this claim, it is an ordinary hair ornament made of plastic pearls.

A fan-edition home jersey bought from a sports store near Wembley Stadium.
Claimed to be a "one and only" treasure by the salesman, it naturally has no other sizes and is inevitably too large for Regulus. Luckily she doesn't care if it fits at all.

A disorganized set of accessories, all gilded and cheap. They are probably the result of some hoarding disorder. While some of their designs are praiseworthy, the redundancy has ruined their advantages.
If anyone can take them away, I would be willing to pay them ... That sounds familiar.

A copper hand mirror with a noticeably blurry reflection. She gently insists that essence matters more than outward appearance—
perhaps clarifying one's inner reflection is simply part of her profession.

A beautiful glass jar with cultural motifs and an earthy scent that masks the metallic rust of its lid.
The interior is meticulously designed to resemble the surroundings of Stonehenge, as the owner believes that this tranquil atmosphere will enhance the healing powers of the toothfairies.

The immortal brings flowing ribbons, dotting the spring waters that mirror mountains.
In Eastern dance, ribbons and sleeves often serve as extensions of the dancer's body. A skilled dancer can move the soft fabrics as if they were additional arms. The interviewee had already perfected this art by the age of eleven.

A rifled flintlock. Each bullet has been cleansed with holy water and consecrated through arcane ritual. The patterned grooves set into the gun's stock derive from recent advances in ley line studies—it is said that they can guide bullets. The interviewee described the principle with enthusiasm, but we declined her offer to demonstrate it on the spot.

A rough cloak which is obviously made of clothes stitched together. Judging from the threads, the tailor has done an incredibly good job. If you examine the cloak closely, you will also find stains and dust.

The most classic costume of bunny girls, a symbol of their identity. Without the ears and the tail, a bunny girl can no longer be called a bunny girl.
"Keeping the ears straight, keep the cotton tail fluffy and clean is a daily routine!" said the interviewee.

Accessories produced by Ms. NewBabel's Critter Center for formal pet occasions.
Although popular belief holds that the critters' compliance is due to arcane incantations, the designer asserts that the comfortable, lightweight materials and the love in their hearts are what truly make the difference.

A roughly 5.5-foot-long blade with a handle of 1 foot and 6 inches. Weighs in at around 3.3 pounds, but it can be used to dole justice with much greater weight than that. The interviewee inherited it from his father. Thanks to his careful daily maintenance with deerskin and sheep oil, the blade still shines like snow.

A mic exclusive for the M.C. of Headonion.
It is said to be a gift from a famous stand-up comedian, and it can amplify voices precisely and prefectly. The funny mic flag and her serious attitude make a good contrast.

A durable leather belt. A fine example of the Zeno Army's tanning technique, its broad application includes accessorizing uniforms, securing equipment, and restraining patients. As an accent piece, it elegantly partitions the white lining. It can also keep "problems" firmly fastened to an iron bed frame.

A beautiful yingluo is delicately hung at the waist, made from a combination of gold, silver, jade pieces, and shells carefully woven together. With every step, it sways elegantly at the side of the waist.

A set of personal items that the interviewee rarely leaves home without, including glasses, special latex gloves, and various research tools. Inspiration is always present, much like the constant movement of the universe, which is why it's important to have the necessary tools readily available at all times.

A multi-layered underskirt, soft and closely hugging the legs, its weight increasing gradually with each added layer. The interviewee couldn't stop praising the skirt. "It's a little hard to move in all these layers ... it's like wading through the rolling waves on the beach. I really miss that feeling."

As bold as the flames of battle, as red as fresh blood, and tailored to a warrior's exact height. Perfect in every way—except for the "small chance to wrap around you as you fight causing you to trip you at the worst possible moment" curse.

A magnificent, dignified cape—not designed for ambush or combat, yet one that allows the interviewee to move freely through palace halls. "The deep jewel tone is solemn without being dreary. The embroidery balances classical motifs with Art Nouveau styling. The tassels must be short enough, and the fabric needs to be stiff and well-tailored so it won't interfere with shouldering and aiming a rifle." The interviewee clearly possesses considerable expertise in costume design, which deepens our curiosity about her professional background.

An old, worn glass jar with an aluminum lid that once contained jam or perhaps pickles. Nothing else is known to effectively contain the winged tooth fairies. It's a commonplace item, but ingenious uses can be found for it with enough imagination.

A headband emitting a bright sheen to hold back flowing long hair. It keeps trivial and distracting things behind the shoulders, allowing the spectators to focus their gaze on this small, glowing yellow dot. Undoubtedly a pioneering attempt to turn sports into a form of beauty.

An unremarkable bronze oil lamp.
The mage has held golden lamps fueled by dragon fat and danced with nothing but a torch in hand. When asked why she ultimately settled on such an ordinary lamp, she replied, "It doesn't interfere with my magic, and it doesn't trip me up while I dance. Just like how my expression right now won't stop you from continuing with these pointless questions."

A gift from doting parents—a slightly heavy affection for most people to bear. Her most familiar friend. Made of leather and hard cotton cloth and joined with iron rivets, it is generally used for internal and external surgery or psychiatric treatment. Fortunately, the lining is soft. No one has the desire to see a clumsy child scratch themselves, or break a limb, or crack their head open. Therefore, it is indispensable.

The hat shimmers silver with beautiful patterns and silver wings resembling those of a western river dragon—a perfect accessory for any maiden. As the tassels sway, they create a silvery glow and the metal pieces rustle softly.

A finely crafted ID badge made from Laplace liquid alloy material using laser printing technology.
Below the name on the badge, a small line of text has been added that wasn't there before — the interviewee calls it "an inescapable responsibility."

An identity card given to every researcher by Laplace. There is nothing strange or special about the layout and the color. The card is placed in a metal coated silicone case and attached to magnetic button. The interviewee has put a sticker on it and finds that "humorous."

A simple bolt-action rifle that combines durability and accuracy, calibrated for optimal handling and comfort.
The interviewee has made a number of modifications, yet has never considered naming it, viewing the weapon as a functional tool rather than an item of great personal significance.

The Stasi is equipped with such listening devices mainly to maintain national security and social stability.
For her, the device is more of an ornament or a means to cover up the lazy behaviors that are not allowed.

Silver bullets specially constructed to be fired underwater.
The interviewee indicates a knot on the carrying strap: "The previous one had been worn while crossing the atoll. Now, it is kept as a memento."

Neither its material nor its workmanship is worth the price the owner wants for it. The interviewee keeps emphasizing it is made of "animal fibers," "synthetic materials," and "organic compounds." He doesn't seem to want to admit the value of the accessory.

The colorful plastic flowers are the most trendy toys among the kids, but the parents can't help to worry about the possible harm brought by the hard casing and the cheap paint. The solution to the problem is a substitution made of fabric. The kids holding them look even cuter now.

A self-made glasses which symbolizes the owner's wish for a better future. "The big and small rings are like the people holding hands. It could be you or me, my friend!" Given the unusual design and the meaning behind it, this pair of glasses always catches people's attention before its owner does.

A neck accessory made of organza, ribbons, and plastic pearls, with cotton padding on the inside for added comfort when worn by the performer. The performer was very concerned about its proper placement, and was often distracted during early rehearsals, constantly worrying about its aesthetic incongruity.

A hyperbolic paraboloid, cut from a single piece of fabric, is the robe that best embodies mathematical geometry. It is highly esteemed by the islanders. It is perfect, but... one must be careful when walking, says the interviewee firmly.

Forged from refined steel, the armor resembles goose feathers and can separate piece by piece under the interviewee's arcane skill. When spread, they become weapons; when closed, they provide strong protection. The surface bears many scratches. The interviewee can clearly recount the stories behind the deeper ones.

An ordinary cap of simple colors and boring design, usually found among the bargains in some nameless store. The interviewee chose it without hesitation. "Being ordinary is a hard choice to make."

A parting gift from a poet friend. The scarf is well-made with smooth stitching and is very warm. The message that arrived with it reads "The dark wilderness hides a little beast running quietly."

A show-stealing hat. The interviewee claims that flamboyant costumes and dramatic performances are a competition in themselves—performers must earn back the audience's attention through action.
"Think about it—by curtain call, what people remember isn't your marksmanship. It's your hat."

A prop specially customized at the interviewee's request during an ad shoot.
Double-action, 5-round capacity, .45 caliber—this is no model gun. The prototype was based on a low-budget movie that the interviewee is particularly fond of.

An everlasting lantern that requires no fuel, gifted by a mysterious ghostly friend and engraved with a lighthouse serial number. Probably a relic of some poor victim of this rocky shore. The pale gray silk scarf tied to it perfectly balances its rustic feel.

An Aeon pocket watch made in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1852. Generations of the Fogs have relied on it to confirm the time despite not being able to see through the fog. He would adjust the time on it weekly to ensure the time at which he got off work was always accurate.

A deck of cards named "Trump Card" by the interviewee—aside from its unique face designs, it's identical to a standard deck.
"Miracles" come from a mix of imagination and meticulous execution, and the interviewee understands this well. In a dazzling display of card magic, she always seems to pull the ace.

A crown of fabric, tulle and silk, delicately crafted to look as if still wet from the morning dew. Each flower on it has a petal count that fits the Fibonacci sequence, making it especially pleasing to the wearer.

Every Laplace employee is notified to collect their unique ID badge after joining up, and even those in the highest position of authority are no exception. Though some are unwilling to wear their ID badge after receiving it, the interviewee clearly isn't one of them.

A silver-plated brooch, reflecting the fabric's hue of the evening dress, shimmering like water ripples in the mist.
Sea stars are flexible and simple creatures that perceive everything through their bodies without relying on eyesight.
Much like the owner of this accessory.

A soft blue cushion. A name tag of the owner has been carefully sewn on it to distinguish it from other puppies', indicating the owner's exclusive ownership and its inviolability.

A delicate piece of handcrafted embroidery. The simple design is the interviewee's work. She claims that this logo is on everything she uses (clothes, blog, notes, etc.) and is left everywhere she goes, and that she does so for the sake of her business.

Made from cutting-edge experimental materials, this equipment incorporates metal inlays and rivets to meet the rigorous demands of competitive use. However, with her powerful military physique, the interviewee seems unconcerned with the details of her gear.

An item that I still struggle to define. Is it a spool wound with threads of five-colored glass? A secret treasure for raising ice silkworms? The wisp of cold, fragrant smoke it emits only deepens the mystery. Its owner warned the writer to keep her distance—certain Yao are drawn to the scent, but they crave the teeth of the ignorant even more.

Another masterpiece from the "Conqueror" manufacturer. "Providing a considerate experience for every flyer." Clearly, this is not an overstatement.

A classic double-barreled shotgun with a simple design. Sold continuously for over a century, it is regarded as one of the quintessential shotgun models. The interviewee purchased this one eight years ago.
The interviewee calls it one of her two "tools of the trade." The other is her eye, which she regrets cannot be maintained like a gun, however, the interviewee has no intention of undergoing any form of eye examination or treatment in the near future.

A regular camping pack couldn't possibly hold this much—it appears to have been modified multiple times to fit all survival essentials.
There were multiple hidden compartments; the interviewee eagerly opened each to show us her storage tricks. Revealing things like a chocolate wrapper, a half-melted candle, and bundles of senne grass tucked in every nook and cranny.

A pair of lightweight but sturdy four-part trekking poles.
A backup pair amongst the interviewee's items for climbing mountains. The interviewee waxes lyrical about its uses and insists I admire her hiking shoes, surfboard, bow, and arrows... I had to request that we table that politely.

A stylish trench coat with bold colors and avant-garde design. Its value is easily overlooked due to long-term neglect.
High-end clothing never favors raindrops, but fortunately, it was born to accept such a fate.

A small decoration popular in her hometown. The gray color fits the Foundation's uniform well and the schleife gives her outfit an interesting touch.

A deep blue cotton bonnet with lace trim. The first choice for a young lady's strolling attire. Before going on stage, the prop master decorated it with a sakura blossom to calm the performer's nerves.

A folded-brim cavalier hat. Its upturned brim is designed to avoid interfering with the steel winged headpiece the wearer has on her head. The interviewee seems particularly fond of the tall, pointy decorations, wearing them even at the risk of piercing through the hat's crown.

A monocular distributed by Zeno Arms Academy. It's portable, easy to maintain and suitable for all kinds of complicated battlefield environments, making it a reliable choice. Nevertheless, Leilani is not a fan of the monocular, so it is more like a decoration than a piece of equipment.

A silver bullet engraved with the word "Mondlicht."
Made by a miraculously skilled craftsman, it is so intricate that it can even be said to be better than manufactured ones. According to the interviewee, the silver ore used to forge this special bullet fell from the moon, and the locals believe it has the power to ward off evil beasts.

A classic messenger bag. Lightweight yet durable, it accompanies the respondent wherever they go. The young investigative journalist was tireless. She was seemingly in every corner of the city, just like the shadow.

This lightweight metal pauldron is the favorite perch of the interviewee's tiny partner.
The stall owner at the Saint-Ouen flea market swore its original owner was a brave dragon-rider from the late 16th century—
but changed his story the moment he learned what the interviewee's arcanum can do. In the end, they settled on a price both sides found agreeable.

There is nothing special about its design and the colors, but it is made of materials which are sturdy enough to survive all kinds of extreme cases.

The insignia was designed by his foster daughter, Moldir—who also, allegedly, chose the name for the Gryphon Legion. The interviewee's expression suggests he is quite satisfied with the design. "This troop deserves to protect a broader world," he adds.

Forged from "mithril," its delicate filigree and flowing curves are the hallmark of elven craftsmanship. Even through perilous journeys and fierce battles, the ranger would never neglect this cherished keepsake from home.
... In reality, it's made of aluminum wire, tin foil, and glass beads.

Made of glass and copper, this hair ornament feels heavy in the hand. Though it seems like it could be found on any ordinary jewelry store shelf, no other piece would remind Melania of what is key to blending in with the masses.

"This is our most powerful weapon!"
The interviewees shout in unison.
"It's neither simple nor ordinary. We use it to control the pieces on the board!"
Though frankly, we saw no evidence that it held any arcane power whatsoever.

A notebook recording various details and trivial matters from the train's journeys. The full text remains unknown (perhaps classified).
The interviewee ended the topic with a reminder: "We guarantee absolute safety during each journey, and that the train will never be late ... but we make no promises that the train won't be haunted.

Green and white silk gauze, adorned with gold and silver embroidery. It looks serene and tidy as it drapes softly, but when caught in the wind, it possesses a unique ethereal quality unlike anything else in existence.

A folding fan once used by the interviewee while disguised as a member of high society. Waving it rhythmically could draw the attention of conversation partners, giving her an advantage in reading expressions and moods. Nowadays, the fan mainly assists with expression management, as the retired interviewee no longer seems capable of precisely controlling every subtle facial expression. She herself finds joy in this.

Statistics show that audiences in front of the TV tend to believe reports given by "well-dressed" gentlemen instead of ladies. Therefore, this is necessary business attire worn to improve the reliability of her report.

A rectangular robe with golden tracery paired with a lake-colored shawl. The plain cut is designed to highlight the wearer's grace. Mathematicians know that the most perfect formula needs only a blank sheet of paper for contrast.

A lovely pair of orange bowknots which fit 10-year-old girls just well. They may not make a valuable gift, but you can feel their parents' love.

A shadow puppet shaped like a lantern, crafted entirely by the interviewee—from material selection and coloring to assembly and calibration. Its intricate surface and harmonious colors reveal her meticulousness, patience, and passion for drama.

A pair of polarized sunglasses bought from the same place where Regulus got hers, yet much more expensive. The interviewee fancied them at first glance for two reasons: the untraditional round lens and its size being the smallest one among all the others.

A dark brown leather jacket, effective in shielding against wind and providing warmth. Received from the owner of a motorcycle shop as a reward for cleaning the storage room. Just wearing it, regardless of what's underneath, is enough to make you appear rebellious. "This is the way to confront life, racing against the wind."

A visually pleasing but not finely crafted upper garment, a work of exuberance. Made of cotton, plastic, and a small amount of metal. The interviewee openly admitted the garment's connection to the "big national flag theft case" reported in the Rock District newspaper.
"They scattered the clothes all over the street, and it just happened to fall into my hands."

A finely crafted little pouch, filled with tiny bottles of strange scents.
From the smell, they appear to contain a dyeing agent popular in the Balkan region. When asked, the interviewee offered no clear explanation, only saying with a cryptic smile, "That is a vampire's most secret of secrets."

Garish in color and cheap in texture, they go well with golden hues without obscuring the luster of long, meticulously cared-for tresses.
Every blonde girl ought to have some, and they're easy to come by.

A top hat worn by the last Fogwalker, highly waterproof.
At some point, it became the symbol of the Fogwalkers. Oliver Fog inherited this hat after his father died. Given his age, however, it might be a bit too tall for him.

A necklace made of special metals and rhinestones that preserves the actress's unique style while matching the era of her performance. Hand strung by the performer backstage.

A bamboo staff which is a bit shorter than the common ones. Its outstanding resilience allows it to support most body movements, making it the best choice for stunt performers.

An ordinary pair of glasses purchased at a roadside stall. John Titor's eyesight is just fine, so this is just a pair of decorative glasses that is excessively large, seems old-fashioned and can be seen everywhere.

A healthy meadow, giving off a typical slightly-bitter and earthy fresh smell of the grass. According to the interviewee, he spends long hours taking care of his meadow ... because he has nothing to do and nowhere else to go. His great effort certainly has paid off.

A little cap that adds the perfect touch to the interviewee's smile.
The star-like ornaments strung along the star rail can slide freely, producing a crisp, pleasant chime when they collide. The interviewee admits that even if the audience can't hear them clearly over the noise, to her, those soft dings are still part of an improvised symphony.

A special kind of paint custom-made for the interviewee. It doesn't contain any substances harmful to humans and smells like apple and caramel. The foal likes to dress up and make himself smart, but it also won't refuse to roll in the mud to have fun.

A solid ear tag with a long string of code recorded on it, allowing researchers to easily distinguish between study samples. Impervious to the elements and almost impossible to lose, with this little yellow tag, your name isn't that important.

The first choice of professional athletes, this leotard is made from premium fabric for a smooth, form-fitting feel.
Plenty of perforations add the finishing touch. As one respondent put it, "This thing makes my every move more perfect than the last."

Passing through London on her way to the Flannan Isles, this country girl pondered in front of a shop window for exactly 34 minutes and 28 seconds before buying this pretty hat adorned with a blue fish. It turned out to be a perfect match for her outfit.

This leather waist pouch, made for referees, stores various arcanum items and features a side compartment containing a glass bottle filled with strong liquor. Despite its high-quality craftsmanship, the interviewee seems to regard it as a single-use item, if past usage habits are anything to go by.

A high-grade handwriting-friendly manuscript paper made from pine pulp sourced from the Pyrenees; its scent is said to stimulate thinking and clarify logic.
Its only flaw is that it is not waterproof, which is why the interviewee's manuscripts are always covered in coffee stains that rival performance art.

A candle holder with a bit of wax remaining. The interviewee lit the candle, letting it flicker briefly before snuffing it out.
"What matters is not the flame itself. In essence, the flame we light today is no different from the one that was lit thousands of years ago. Likewise, the flame we ignite in remembrance of this place is no different from the one that brought this place to ruin."

Shoes with a loosened strap on one side—like the unfastened leg-of-mutton sleeves on the blouse, this strap also reveals an unrestrained sense of freedom.
After lowering her guard, the interviewee happily demonstrated how she runs without stepping on the loose strap: a unique and precise change in stride, its rhythm somewhat resembling a waltz.

A simple collection of art supplies for children, including brushes, paints, and blank sheets of paper. But the interviewee goes beyond these traditional tools. She not only teaches children to paint, but also introduces them to literature, music, and mathematics.

A durable, medium-sized handwoven straw purse, with a Bird of Paradise flower gifted by the vendor as a finishing touch. Carefully stored within are documents, notes, writing tools, special sunscreen, and a Brazilian Arcanum license.
When asked what these items were prepared for, she responds with a shy smile.

An outfit prepared for female musicians of the "Free Breeze" crew. Due to the outstanding solo performance of the interviewee, the crew prepared her a unique uniform befitting her role as the ship's music star.

A feather shed by an unidentified bird. The wearer is fascinated by the regularity of this beautiful pattern and places it in the center of the golden ratio on her calf.

The accessory's shape derives from the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, while the book "with infinite pages" was said to be found by chance in the eighth underground floor of a national library housing 950,000 volumes.
Despite this introduction by the interviewee, the author maintains that it was merely an old book taken from a street stall.

A pair of small brown boxing gloves crafted from fine leather, a gift from her mother. "This is the best birthday gift ever," the interviewee remarked. We might regard this as the beginning of a fight or as a striking challenge to traditional sports.

A fluffy, soft fabric pillow, uniformly provided by a cruise line for every sailor and tourist.
Often used to withstand the long and tedious life of drifting at sea or to become a "terrifying" sea monster impersonator.

Sometimes we forget that even if a talking squirrel can, well, talk ... he probably hasn't mastered the written language.
Which suggests that the pager might've been, in a sense, completely useless. The interviewee immediately objected, insisting he did use it to send squad-only codes to his penguin teammates.

A set of repair tools. When the writer arrived, the interviewee was polishing them. Judging from their gentle gleam, they must see frequent use.
While demonstrating them for us, her clothing accidentally knocked one tool loose. Clearly, with her military background, she has yet to adapt to such decorative attire.

Most of the time, the blades stay hidden in her sleeves, others only ever noticing the delicate silver cufflinks. But if someone underestimates her because of her frail appearance, streaks of cold light will show them just how wrong they were.

The frame is made of slender bamboo ribs and decorated with peonies and orchids. Draped in silk and illustrated with scenes of the four seasons, it is designed to be carried on the shoulder.
After the shoot, the interviewee made a request: "May I take this lantern back with me? If it's hung under the tavern's eaves, I'm sure it will brighten the day of every customer who sees it."

A solid, heavy trench weapon. Unlike any other melee weapon we've documented, the interviewee has melted away what should have been its most lethal edge. As an "unqualified weapon," its smooth surface conveys a restrained, tranquil beauty.

A quadrate canteen made of stainless steel. It comes with a strap which makes it easier to carry around. It was still filled with spirits when we received it. Is it just her, or every Russian does this?

Flower-shaped brooches are common, but only a few people will choose to wear a real white chrysanthemum. It doesn't take any sophisticated arcane skill to keep it bloom. More important, I think, is a heart which is always open to embrace what is lost in life.

Before he put his front paws onto that grey-and-white window at registration, his friend in red and white shirt just carefully wiped this goggles for him. It was an ordinary day, until now.

A handmade trinket kept out of habit. Sometimes gifted to children or friends, or briefly placed somewhere as a marker. Occasionally used as a vessel for arcane skills during assignments. The interviewee simply refers to it as a consumable.

A slim chain of tools—a salve tin, scissors, keys, probes—arranged to avoid jingling while she walks.
Contrary to expectations, the tools were all quite mundane. After enough interviews, we've learned the greatest healers rely on nothing more than relentless resolve.

The bestselling climbing rope woven with hopping Porcupines' mane, reasonably priced, sturdy and durable. Every mountain climber knows that a climbing rope is the only thing between them and death. When checking climbing ropes, the interviewee displayed a serious side of her rarely seen.

An accessory or at least what she considers one. A ball made primarily of sugar, calcium and arcanum compound. It tastes sweet, according to her. I don't know how many people have tried this candy before, but I know I won't be one of them.

A postman's bag brimming with springtime, curling vines as lively and resilient as the interviewee herself.
She cheerfully opens the bag, revealing an assortment of objects that reflect local customs: strange frogs, a white rooster's feather, her sister's sign-in card, and more. With equal warmth, she offers the writer a piece of candy.

A plain, no-frills toolkit—you could buy one just like it at any industrial store. Before turning to her arcane skills, the interviewee always tries the "old way" first.
She sewed the storage pouch herself, as we learned during the interview.

A tasseled shawl, soft and smooth in texture. Many puppies appear to enjoy sleeping on such woven textiles, but the interviewee evidently thought that its present form sufficed.

An ordinary hair ornament, the kind that can be bought anywhere. Though worn and frayed, it bears the marks of long companionship with its owner.
The interviewee lamented that the raspberry decoration once attached to it had gone missing long ago, leaving only the ribbon still clutching her hair. At the end of the interview, your humble writer presented her with a cherry-shaped trinket as consolation.

A worn axe which is much older than Erick. There is a name carved on the handle: Lagertha. It seems the edge has been blunted on purpose so the user can hug it in bed.

A popular hat choice in London's hat boutiques, worn by many ladies at the time of the interview. However, it was the interviewee who truly made it iconic.
Sometimes, it is not the outfit that defines the individual, but the individual that defines the outfit.

One of the circus's best-selling souvenirs. The interviewee isn't surprised—practical and distinctive products always find a market. In the version sold with the belt, the decorations are made of edible gumballs.

A pair of thick jeans featuring the worn-out texture. The sturdy fabric can withstand high-intensity friction, remaining intact even after a whole day on horseback.
Even if they do end up getting ripped, this only enhances their fashion appeal, making them a prime choice for social events. The interviewee thinks highly of the design.

A longbow which perfectly fits the word "plain." Its structure and design are simple, but its power is unexpectedly high in her hands. Arcanists are supposed to be extraordinary, and she has done a good job.

A gift from a believer, Lorelei once used it to stop a small melee and saved him from death. In the era of war, a uniformly dyed and brightly-colored ribbon is considered of value. However, her mother didn't care about its value—she used it to decorate her daughter's fluffy golden hair as though awarding her a medal.

A ribbon bow tie suited to the interviewee's former special work environment, personally selected by the interviewee from an ordinary clothing store. When asked whether this type of matching carried any deeper meaning, the interviewee stated it was merely a form of club culture used to strengthen cohesion.

These beautifully crafted wool boots are designed to withstand the unforgiving elements of winter while representing culture. "Put on these boots and frolic amidst the snowflakes and ice, carefree!" exclaimed the interviewee with glee.

A worn fedora. The holes on it make it look worthless, but it's essential for the owner to play a gentleman well.

Clear-textured, smooth-edged, small handmade decorations crafted in her spare time. She can identify every detail of the serpentine material used, recognizing which experiment each strata of the design came from. Although the stitching is somewhat rough, it remains a precious and unique record of their work.

An old and simple windbreaker of unknown brand and a color that you'll have trouble trying to find a match for. Though the fashionistas tend to frown at it, this fabric has a comfortable texture and first rate material. A pragmatist would find it hard to refuse.

A handmade sun hat, a best-seller on Copacabana Beach.
When asked about the difference between the white scenery she saw and what she read about in her books, the interviewee answers in a stifled voice while pressing her hat down until it completely covers her eyes. It reminds me of a previous interview.

The "Pragmatist" series oblique pen holder from Beaupen, paired with a fixed dip pen nib, offers an excellent writing experience. The interviewee appears quite solemn when displaying it — "I never knew there were so many styles of fountain pens ... "

A cheap accessory bought in New Delhi. Somehow she has kept it till this day. Anyway, it is quite a nice touch on the hat.

Wheels made by the owner of the stable. They are made of metal and meteor fragments, and they allow the foal to fully enjoy speed before they are worn out. When the foal is happy, its little owner is also happy, which makes everything worth it.

Official attire for the judges of London's aerial events. While the sunglasses may not offer the same level of protection as specialized goggles, their anti-glare properties are unmatched. "And more importantly, they're the coolest thing on the court!" remarked the interviewee's pirate friend.

A portable shoulder bag, with an oval-shaped body that can hold a water bottle and other small items. For this hard-won trip, the interviewee has made adequate preparations. Someone of their years would normally have had their parents' help packing their bags, but all she wanted was a word of praise.

A crystal ball with snowflakes drifting inside. It was made by the interviewee after she watched the modern video art. Its symbolic significance should make it more valuable to some extent.

A hat given to the interviewee by her master. The brim is woven with small armor plates, while the tassels around the edge are strung with yansheng coins to keep them from obstructing the wearer's view.
"The coins were my master's gift too. It's said they ward off evil and bring good fortune. Whether that's true or not, the blessing offered by my master certainly is."

A cover-up crocheted with colorful shells and starfish, it sways lightly with each step, sometimes making a crisp clinking sound. It was hard to get the shy interviewee to explain why she chose this outfit. Regardless, it's a unique and clever choice.

Once a showpiece in the first-floor window of the upscale clothing store Gekko & Flusser in San Francisco's largest shopping mall, it was ruined by spray paint. Even the most lenient thrift stores were only willing to pay a few Sharpodonty for it. The interviewee, however, seems to appreciate this flashy "art" and has no plans of taking the coat off.

A colorful bedspread themed around the Brazilian coast, where the beach and ocean merge into a summer silhouette, originally intended for children who couldn't visit the beach.
The interviewee seems to have made a surprisingly resolute choice.

A bottle with the ability to "scale objects proportionally." It is said that Robert Boyle mastered this arcane skill through experiments and imbued it into glass, creating many drifting bottles with magical powers.
The bottle kept her alive, allowing her to come and go freely, but also keeping her forever enclosed and isolated.

A pair of ordinary gloves with numbers representing the interviewee, which can clearly be interpreted from another perspective.
It's said that in some contexts, the reversal of balance represents a mystery.

Boots the interviewee brought from home, which unexpectedly turned out to be perfect for stage performances. The downside? Once they were classified as stage props, she had to buy another pair for daily use.
"I carelessly signed these old pals into a life of hard work," she says with a sigh.

This should not be considered a set of tools but rather a precise solution, essential for removing lesions, correcting disorder, and restoring order. Additionally, the interviewee emphasizes that they have no intention of assigning these objects any emotions, names, or symbolic meanings.
A set of silent witnesses. They have observed the precision of each incision, the force of each suture, and the timing of each operation. *Also from the interviewee*.
For the two different explanations given by the interviewee(s), we have decided to list them both without comment.

Unlike its relatively delicate design, the fabric is made of sturdy and wear-resistant "moleskin." After witnessing the interviewee's arm strength and reckless movements, the purpose of this material becomes self-evident.

A pair of handcuffs designed to control her arcane skill instead of constraining her freedom. These are costly items, she could live a decent life for quite some time on the money if the handcuffs could be sold.

A deer fur trapper hat, which the interviewee says once belonged to her grandfather.
The original hat was oversized, so she modified it, carefully stitching up the worn spots. The two sharp points sticking out are clear proof of the alteration.

The backpack that Regulus uses to carry her records. Generally speaking, Regulus, who takes great care of her records, does not carry them around. However, when danger came knocking, her backpack became useful for escaping with her beloved records.

A headlamp, a standard piece of protective gear for workers, used to check each other's position and ward off the cold. That said, its primary function is to light the way ahead.

A Laplace creation crafted from vacuum tubes. Through the clever combination of springs and pressure components, it can fully transform.
This toy has the shape of a cannon, but according to the LSCC's definition of children's products, "it doesn't have any lethal power."

Made with traditional craftsmanship, this pair of maracas produces a unique "chak chak chak" sound when shaken. According to the instructions, if used by the sea, the distinctive sound may attract some playful friends.

On the brass pocket watch is an engraving of an eagle spreading its wings. The watch seems normal, there's nothing special about its material or the design. "Yes, I'm familiar with every scratch on it," she said.

The exact number shows how distinct this accessory is. "This is an essential investment, especially when you're trying to convince others of the importance of your project.

Some "valuable" gifts from London, made in the standard shapes and sizes found in many glass factories. She can tell the value of an object at a glance, and she's always sensitive to any ulterior motives behind gifts. Judging by the replacement rate of these bottles, she has made the most of them.

A classic beret with hardly any wrinkles. More likely than not, its pristine condition is due to the interviewee's unconsciously meticulous care.

One of the many cowboy hats provided by the clothing company. The raised brim blocks light better than other hats, and the basin-like structure allows the top of the hat to trap in heat without losing moisture. It is these very features that make this cowboy hat most suitable for cultivating fungus—one of the major products of the season.

A nylon swimsuit with Polka dots on it. It is conservative, common, but you can never go wrong with it. It was a best seller recommended by the salesperson. The cut is nothing special, but it would be enough to bring out the interviewee's good shape, if she didn't cover herself with a bedspread.

A home flag which Regulus uses as a wrap occasionally. It seems longer than the usual satin flags, with a smoother texture. One will understand, however, the appeal of the scene doesn't lie in the flag if one has the chance to see that joyful wielder.

Carefully managing supplies and stamina, and wisely deciding what to pack in your backpack—these are essential skill for any great adventurer. But if you're strong enough, or if your load is light enough, who's to say you can't carry a shield, a defeated dragon, or even a conquered fortress?

An incense stick woven from agave leaves, sage, and mugwort, handcrafted by the interviewee.
Its existence defies two traditions: for those who deal with ghosts, agave leaves hold no exorcising power; for ordinary people, the value of agave lies in its fruit.
The leaves were discarded by the roadside, until an exorcist picked them up, saving them from the dust.

A seemingly ordinary bamboo scroll that has accompanied the interviewee through countless days and nights. Within it, she records her experiences; both simple and complex; light and weighty alongside the fleeting emotions etched during its carving.

Used by the owner extravagantly, both the paper and quill wore out very quickly. After the owner moved to the exile land, replenishing this set of tools was no longer a possibility. Thus, the vast, pale snow became his paper. Thankfully, he never had the habit of preserving his work.

A pair of simple glasses.
People seem to trust someone more with an "experienced" look. The respondent bought herself these glasses in her third month of work. She keeps the lenses spotlessly clean. Regardless of whether she wears them or not, her acuity and dedication as a journalist never waver.

A warm and fuzzy winter hat, typically used to care for the soldiers atop the interviewee's head. After the interviewee's detailed and passionate explanation, we recognized his assertion.

A cleverly designed portable medical kit. The interviewee demonstrated its quick-access features and explained her unique system for organizing medicines. She added that in emergencies where a full medical case isn't practical, this kit represents the bare minimum for travel.

A sombrero from the interviewee's hometown, which is on the other side of the waters. She happened to bring it with her when she left, and now it happens to make a good match with the dress.

When the whistle was mentioned, a rare smile crossed the interviewee's lips.
This whistle followed her from the mountains of Oreinósia to the beautiful yet war-torn banks of the Danube, where she commanded a steam train as it thundered along the rails.
However, considering the interviewee's past experiences, this whistle may have been put to use in more places than the train car itself.

This small sword made from oak is a work of Harald's. The hilt has been polished so that it is easier to grab. The user usually hangs it at her waist and only draws it when commanding her crew because it symbolizes the status of a lord.

Once a gentleman's first choice, now a scene-stealer on the stage.
It appeared in the actress's hand at some point, allowing her to no longer depend on the support of others.

A simple copper belt that perfectly fits the wearer's temperament. The interviewee mentioned that it was originally a string of Christmas lights. After some creative thinking, it was transformed into its current form.

A cheap yet reliable white bedspread. We tested it for signs of afflatus fluctuation, but the results suggested it is just a plain white bedspread, as ordinary as those sheets that every housewife can easily find in any supermarket.

Yellow-tinted sunglasses bought at a local grocery store, offering no more protection than regular sunglasses. The interviewee simply feels the bright color suits the untamed rainforest better, and they weren't too expensive.

A professional set of fencing gloves, offering durability and the perfect balance of softness and firmness.
The gloves feature the image of the interviewee's favorite animal, evoking memories of her time in the East. No wonder her unorthodox technique bears the hallmarks of many different regional fencing techniques.

A pair of ordinary glasses, hand-polished, lacking distinctiveness—a style no glasses store would be without. Nevertheless, their significance remains undiminished — "a small window to observe the world."

A non-branded tie that was purchased from a bus gift shop. The interviewee likes it a lot and often wears it.
From my point of view, such taste is too liberal, but in her case ... it fits well. That's all that matters.

A saddle commonly seen on hobby horses. It comes with a carroty cushion, a pair of wooden stirrups and a laced seat. It has witnessed the epic adventure of the little owner and this wooden foal.

The factory distributed standard work gloves to its workers. Made of thick synthetic material, these gloves may look unremarkable, but they effectively protect the workers' hands. Much like their wearers, these gloves are plain and quiet, yet undeniably reliable.

An exquisite yet surprisingly cheap accessory on the interviewee's simple outfit. Judging from her behavior, she must care about this little thing greatly and there must be a story hidden behind it.

After being used in an ad shoot, this inedible prop was given to TTT as a token of remembrance.

The traditional attire worn by Samba performers.
The striking red scarf is the interviewee's personal touch. During her varied part-time career, she once saw a strange creature wearing this on the beach, dancing passionately. She decided that this was the mark of a true Samba dancer.

A cowboy hat crowned with the name "Braver." The rough feel of the hand-stitching and the bold clash of colors dizzy the senses.
"Perhaps I don't understand art, but you surely don't grasp the concept of 'value for money'!" boasts the interviewee with pride.

Locally-crafted handwoven straw sandals. Their beauty lies in the patterns created by the intertwining strands rather than any printed decoration.
"I prefer to focus on people's lives, that is where art is the most vibrant." It seems the interviewee understands art better than many self-proclaimed critics.

Leather straps with decorative metal pieces wrapped around a cloak, giving it a lavish appearance. In battle, however, they serve the practical purpose of blinding the enemy—a bold display of bravery even in adornment.

It was enclosed in a letter of gratitude to the Foundation. Like millions of others, the letter was not postmarked or signed. Sonetto took the letter and has been keeping it carefully since then.

A handy set of tools for bow and arrow maintenance, with the dual purpose of making a lady's belt appear more beautiful and elegant.
The interviewee praised its functionality—in fact, she was quite intrigued by the idea of adding more arcane implements.

A handmade accessory, created from scraps of fabric while mending clothes.
A remnant of a fallen fortress—yet now, she's building a new one of her own.

A top hat exceptionally fitting for the sea.
The conspicuous ear tag is hidden inside the hat—here, there are no test subjects, only a girl longing for a voyage.

A shiny tin protractor, its scales precisely calibrated by experts. The muse of inspiration doesn't arise out of nowhere; the larger the angle at which the world is measured, the greater the gains.

Crafted with inspiration from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, this magical device serves as both a spell-casting tool and a whistle.
This travel souvenir may only be worth three Sharpodonties, but it demonstrates how an item's true value often lies in its owner's heart.

A tie-dye cloth, purchased by the interviewee at the foot of the mountain. Before climbing the mountain, she spent a whole afternoon at the dyer's, showing off her skills. Finally she chose to buy a finished product, but this did not dampen her spirits.

A pet leash produced by NewBabel Company. On its knot is carved a tiny arcanum spell which contains mild power.

"Modern in style with expanded frequency reception capable of receiving the top secret channel 3027 ..."
The interviewee is in mid-explanation when she suddenly interrupts herself with a crackly, overenthusiastic broadcast.
"Hello listeners! You've tuned into ... The Voice of the Foundation. Today's hot topic: Does the number of stairs in the Foundation correlate with the quality of the canteen food ..."
One can only hope this ridiculous interruption didn't coincide with the interviewee almost revealing classified secrets.

One of an unbranded pair of speakers which is too old to be sold at a decent price even at a flea market.
Its only use is to add texture to TTT's noisiness.

"His pride and joy, a Bowie knife that he carries everywhere. It can cut people, it can cut dragon fruit—good metal doesn't care what it's used for because it can do anything."

One of the office supplies UTTU provides to employees, available for pickup on the first Wednesday of each month with a work ID. The interviewee uses them to organize her notes in a color-coding system. However, since each Reed has different color preferences, the system appears totally random.

A common black top hat which suits all solemn occasions which require formal attire. It's not valuable in terms of price, yet it always brings some comfort to the bereaved families.

An old-fashioned felt cowboy hat, purchased from a store in Houston. Used for many years and bearing plenty of signs of wear.
Choosing a good hat is an art. The interviewee trusts this weathered old companion over the trendier styles.

A pair of sunglasses that get one in the holiday mood, a gift from warm-hearted puppy friends. The interviewee appeared visibly perplexed by it, for it cannot block out strong light, yet it is more than capable of filtering out all colors.

The freshest part of the interviewee's outfit. We trust that, even without proper table manners, they won't spill food on it.

Its function is to provide interesting shapes to inspire ideas not bound by the mundane, as opposed to regular circles. Only when an object is stripped of its role in creation does its artistic value become worthy of discussion.

A small hat made of wool and linen that holds up the hair.
Supposedly, the hat's purpose is to increase the wearer's height, thereby augmenting dignity and gravitas. But this hat also provides a scholarly air and, of course, a hint of playfulness.

The simplest bowtie, the most insignificant hint. Who could identify the interviewee as a "Member of Institutum Lorentz" because of it? It is merely an utterly ordinary bowtie.

A simply designed tassel shawl, acquired from an unnamed clothing store on some street corner.
The time for external assignments is always short and precious. Fortunately, our interviewee always completes them promptly and properly.

Pop, rock, country ... There aren't many of them, but the styles are various. It's hard to tell the owner's preference, but they are already enough for decoration and amusement.

A common hair tie forgotten in a corner of the suitcase, with feathers that still seem to carry a trace of warm air. Though the interviewee isn't one to chase trends, her carefully considered choices succeed all the same.

A bamboo cage, carefully woven for protection from the elements—enigmatic and spacious, with an air of secrecy and tranquility. It may make the owner seem lonely, but it is always full.

A common doll purchasable from a toy store. It is sewn from cotton and has a fashionable ruffle dress with a soft texture. The respondent clearly treasures this doll, cleaning it meticulously every so often.
However, we are struggling to find an explanation for the fluids that occasionally ooze from the doll.

A small, simple jar. Inside, fireflies drift up and down. Judging from how tightly it's held, this jar is clearly more than the "decoration" the interviewee claims it to be.

Bindi. A traditional cosmetic marking commonly seen adorning the foreheads of Indian women. Gracious hosts will also place the bindi on the foreheads of distant travelers. The mark is more of a blessing than a vanity. The bright red may be derived from slightly toxic mineral sulfates.

To the people at the time, it was just a doodle of some troublemaker,
but it had implied the trend of the future to some extent.

An old military insignia. The metallic surface remains as radiant as ever. There is a reasonable deduction that John Titor's identity and abilities are very much connected to this insignia. In comparison with that heavy computer, she actually treasures this tiny insignia a lot more.

The interviewee prepared this custom-designed tricolor IDM 5100 soft power cable set specifically for this trip. When asked why this setup was chosen for an outdoor competition, the interviewee offered us only an undecipherable string of letters as a reply.

A normal stethoscope casually dangled from his neck. Sometimes he forgets it in the field, so apparently it doesn't quite matter to the interviewee, but still it is a proof of some story.

An exquisite crown set with synthetic gemstones that glitter under the stage lights. Every year, throngs of students flock to the dance academy from every corner of the globe in pursuit of their dreams. They yearn to be on the stage, to become tomorrow's shimmering star—this new arrival who crossed an ocean to get here is no exception.

A ring of keys and a slumbering teddy bear, guardians of the castle's order and peace around the clock. When young guests fear the shadows that fall at night, the interviewee leaves the bear as a companion. "It's enormously strong and can chase away all the bad people. It has a brave heart, too."

A painted helmet, essential for any motorcyclist. When riding on California's Highway 1, always remember, safety first.

Silver powder infused with shimmering elements, meeting the anti-slip needs of all athletes while adding an extra layer of pizzazz for the audience.
Its name is a beautiful wish for athletes to return home triumphant.

Vivid, delicate patterns created by folding and cutting red paper. During New Year celebrations in the East, these are used to decorate doors and windows, adding festive cheer. The creator clearly favors Mei blossom designs—likely because their trees grew near her childhood home.

An ordinary pair of sunglasses, mostly used by travel agencies as a freebie to attract customers. Its manufacturer and producer cannot be distinguished and it has the style of a classic version of an Italian brand. However, nobody would be foolish enough to think they have the same value.

During the Fool's time, the ruff was a decorative item worn by the nobles. The thick and hard ruff was incredibly inconvenient, yet was seen as a symbol of wealth and status. Hence, from the Fool's point of view, wearing a ruff was enough to poke fun at the "nobles" and the "king."

A former captain who, in her words even now, guards her cherished partner. Sometimes, the partner speaks to her as if talking to herself, telling her, "I'm doing well now."

The peach wood sword is intricately carved with powerful talismans and decorated with coins bearing the marks of the Five Emperors. The interviewer praises it as a timeless piece that will never go out of style. This weapon is almost too friendly to be considered lethal, resembling an ornament more than a deadly tool. It has the power to dispel troubles and protect one's home.

The wrench in the interviewee's hand bears the marks of years of use. It is the most reliable and trustworthy tool they use in their day to day work.

A distinctive parasol from a renowned manufacturer. The blue and white pattern, with a long retro handle, is easy to hold and support.
When not in use, the interviewee carefully folds the parasol along its creases and fastens the buckle.

Handmade jewelry. The earrings seem to have been made of wire and nails with rough workmanship and a dull design. The pendant looks slightly sanded, and it is estimated that a quarter of sanding paper was used.

A pointed hat sewn from multi-colored fabrics, its design concept is decidedly avant-garde—clearly challenging for the average person to pull off. Undeniably, the interviewee pulls it off perfectly.

A soft and pristine cotton headscarf adorned with traditional patterns. She claims it can gather the scents of sunshine, moist peas, and grass.

A plain belt with a rough brass buckle. It seems to be a simple handicraft, so it probably won't fetch a good price. On the inner side of the belt is carved a small bear and the phrase "Brave Heart."

Red seafarer rain boots issued to the crew of the cruise ship.
Made from PVC with steel-plated soles, they protect the little sailor against punctures and erosion as she rushes across the deck, continuing the hunt in the post-storm sea breeze.

A birthday gift from the interviewee's friends, it was evidently selected for its color. Its texture is rough and the material thin. It may be flimsy, but has become the strongest tie to her memories of the past.

A cotton headband commonly worn by motel attendants. Soft in texture and slightly faded from multiple washes.
"The motel owner's daughter" is a more convenient title than "the motel owner." She uses demureness and conformity to cover up and amplify the horror. This is something she has come to master.

Though this hobby horse was buried under a pile of toys in a London shop, it still managed to find its way to the interviewee.
Not only does it allow him to live out his dream of becoming a ranger, but it has also made him incredibly popular with London's children.

A leather belt from the popular "Super Warrior" collaboration, highly sought after in the market.
"I lucked out and found this at a flea market, aren't you jealous!" The interviewee seems unaware of its true value, but she is still ecstatic about her find.

A balloon that follows the interviewee everywhere.
If it lingers long enough, perhaps it too will learn to wear that same gentle smile.

A silk handkerchief with a Resplendent Quetzal pattern, embroidered by A Knight. In order to learn how to embroider the pattern, A Knight paid quite a price.
Thankfully, needles can't deal real damage to this armor.

A prop used by the troupe, modified from a worn top hat. The maker collected the fluffy feathers during a trip to the country, which is quite a resourceful act given the budget of the troupe.
"They ... They are a generous gift from Mr. Pheasant!"

The interviewee's best and only pair of boots, which her sister handed down to her after her sister received new shoes for her birthday.
The interviewee enjoys the loose fit and sense of freedom these oversized boots offer, and plans to wear them for a while longer until they eventually fit snugly.

A pair of curious eyes. Pulled from a cloth doll and re-sewn onto the buttonholes of folded jeans to enliven the drab design. But to be honest, when personalization becomes a competition, all participants become unbearably cliché.

A pair of large plush gloves with a cute design. Despite appearances, the sharp claws are not weapons, merely a decorative necessity. A singing and dancing catgirl would make a dazzling star on the musical stage.

A simple headband, ideal for sporting events. A "gentleperson" must always maintain their image. The interviewee emphasized that, beyond its practical use in fastening her long hair during duels, this headband also plays an important role in allowing her to bow elegantly to the ladies upon achieving victory.

Silent and unchanging, the winter jasmine hairpin bears witness to the passage of time. Like poetry, it is eternal in its beauty.

A small notebook, accompanied by a pen and side clip. Perfect for an editor on the go.
Charmed by its bright colors, the interviewee picked it up at a flea market. She likes to keep it close at hand, somewhere her inspiration and heart beat as one.

Made of shiny leather, it has a simple design and is smooth to the touch. This is definitely the work of a skilled craftsman. The rose pinned to the bumbag is an interesting touch.

Its design is similar to that of the first scout hat when the Boy Scouts of America was founded, only with more detail. Unlike the formal scout hat, the badge was attached to it with a pin. The badge's color, however, matches perfectly with the hat's, so it looks good on the hat.

In this ancient means of illumination, a single flame burns quietly atop a timeworn brass candlestick. It will only burn for a short time and has no defense against the wind, but as long as that flame still gleams, it can accompany a child into the darkness of the night.

A paper swallow cradled by the spring breeze bears a primrose that flutters in the wind, much like the interviewee herself.
During the interview, subtle movements beneath her cloak may reveal the truth of how such delicate paper creations fly.

A roll of affordable and reliable sports tape, designed for straightforward and effective functionality.
It fits the minimalist approach of a certain interviewee: "Hey, as long as it works, right?"

A kite shaped like a butterfly, made of lightweight materials and oiled paper. It trails closely behind her, a special adornment that children can't help but adore.

A cheap pearl necklace which she carried with her to the land of Chicago. Its luster may seem like a bargain's, yet is still shiny enough. This necklace is the reason why she always smells like orange.

Metal dog tags worn by soldiers on both sides. Each one engraved with vital details—blood type, military unit, serial number, and name—serving its final purpose should a soldier fall in battle.
The interviewee feels compelled to bury these fallen soldiers, performing this ritual as an unconscious act of remembrance.

A barely usable plastic snorkeling mask, priced far above its actual cost. One of the mainstays that the street vendors hawk to passing tourists.
Not every journey goes as planned, but given the circumstances, she makes the best of it.

A bamboo basket filled with various herbs, emptied upon returning home. The sweet scent of the herbs lingers in the air without being overpowering, often attracting beautiful butterflies to its location.

A jingling set of keys, no different from the ones at the waist of every motel owner.
She has memorized each key and its corresponding door in the motel, like a mother knows her own children, or perhaps even better. Sometimes, the keyholes would change position or shape, almost as if a child is playing a prank. But that won't be a problem for the mother.

A notebook and a telephone—indispensable to an investigative journalist. The pages are filled with every detail heard and observed by the interviewer, no matter how trifling. She was never satisfied with recording only superficial information. Plumbing the darkest depths in search of the truth was a temptation she could never resist.

A shabby straw hat purchased from a farmer, frequently mended by its owner, bearing the mark of many years. The life of a wanderer isn't easy, but it occasionally offers a small, insignificant surprises.

A ribbon that goes with a party dress. Its vibrant color complements the white dress nicely. The only flaw is its uneven ends—the respondent could not recall when it was torn.

It is said to have been used in the East to scoop wine from barrels, but in reality the long handle is difficult to wield and is thought to have been used primarily for entertainment. Judging by its appearance, it would be most practical for removing unwanted guests from the tavern.

Lady Sotheby had her maid at home use discarded cotton and fabric waste to sew this small doll, "Brave Typhon." Its design is based on Lady Sotheby's description and her maid's imagination. It is far from the Typhon in Greek mythology, and its inspiration was presumed to come from a rat.

The standard uniform for caregivers at the Heartfelt Home. Kindness, tolerance, and patience—traits shared by all wearers. However, the truth of that may be skewed when not worn according to regulations.

A piece of cloth that A Knight always carries. Always floating in the air with him, it has questionable usage.
According to legend, when a nobleman was eligible to become a knight, the lord would hold a knighting ceremony for him. This piece of cloth looks very similar to the medal ribbon used in knighting ceremonies.

A small notebook that Charlie carries around. The contents include not only the troupe's schedule, daily expenses, records of issues in rehearsals and her reflections, but also highly offensive text written by her in specific situations.

A heavy iron hook stuck into an old leather coat, perhaps as an alternative to a button. "Look, you have to be a little kooky to be in our line of work. " the respondent explained. "It's practical and handy, don't you think? "

A two-tone frosted titanium hair clip, purchased from an unnamed second-hand jewelry store, with a design full of childlike charm.
"It's nothing special, just ... shiny," the interviewee calmly answers, then carefully places it back in its original position.

The interviewee sifted through the scraps of fabric and selected several pieces that she liked best before turning them into hair ornaments.
Sewing was a skill most children learned in her time, though the interviewee's proficiency in it was decidedly below average.

The interviewee's trusty Y-shaped metal rod. It serves an array of functions, depending on the user's creativity.
According to the interviewee, she has been banned from using it indoors and in tight spaces, due to past incidents.

A broken white mask that likely came from a corner store having a Halloween sale. The respondent raised a question with a smile: Does the mask need the face that wears it, or does the face need the meaning the mask gives it?

They are just a random pile of rings, which is rather confusing. Some of them are damaged and dented and, no matter how one looks at them, they cannot be considered accessories. At best, I'd call them a pile of junk. If anyone can take them away, I would be willing to pay them.

A finite length composed of an infinite number of points. In a sense, it represents a division of spatial intervals, also implying an inquiry into truth and a self-admonition, as explained by the interviewee. Despite this, I always thought it was just an armband.

A neckpiece tailor-made for the wearer, with a simple yet profound design. Although the interviewee did not reveal much, we can still speculate. It is a symbol composed of straight lines, circles, and triangles, a fulcrum balancing thought and action, symbolizing the earliest geometric measuring tools.

The finely woven fabric intertwining and extended with geometric logic, forming an almost perfect symmetrical structure. Of the naturally curved tassels, the interviewee says she could still feel some softness and flow even within the cold precision of geometry.

A pair of tropical cave-dwelling bird companions, primitive, mysterious, and enigmatic.
According to the interviewee, they sometimes part but never for long, they remain exactly as they were the day she arrived. Perhaps some things never change—at least she firmly believes so.

A crown gifted by friends, forged from metal. Simple and as shiny as new, it is evidently well cared for. According to the interviewee, its "significance" as an ornament is to subject his forehead to a struggle between sharp edges and skin. To avoid this, it is generally used as a bookend.

Several old scrolls, constructed in an ancient style with coarse paper, presumably were made using early papermaking techniques. It is inconvenient for writing nowadays. Its neatness piques our curiosity about its contents. When we attempted to explore its hand-drawn illustrations for ourselves, however, the interviewee unexpectedly used some sort of Arcane Skill.

A white-painted iron mask used to conceal another mask underneath.
The truth about this outfit is unknown to outsiders. Everything is shrouded in mystery, disappearing into every rainy night.

A flame-shaped tattoo on the interviewee's right forearm—a way to preserve the wavering shape of the flame while leaving out the searing pain. When we asked if it was part of his practice in "being involved and suffer," the interviewee responded with a non-committal silence.

A blood-stained sword. The reason why it has been preserved intact remains a mystery.
"After that battle, the giant's blood didn't drain, nor did the Resplendent Quetzal come back." That was what he said when people asked him about the blood stain.

A bowl of scale powder, resembling a cloud of shimmering dust and imbued with the essence of arcanum. The butterfly elements on the armor have disappeared, leaving behind a never-ending glow of heartfelt emotions.

Armguards adorned with rivets, encased in metallic scales that give form to the formless. These armguards were once worn by the interviewee, and have now been returned by arcane means. "Being formless is not necessarily negative, but being nameless ... Now that is a stumbling block for a knight on a journey."

Only moss and vines could calmly keep company with this knight. For centuries they have grown, climbed, and swayed, continually blooming anew.
The knight forgave the sinner waiting at the road's end, just as the moss and vines forgave a century of solitude.

An arm guard braided from tenacious vines, with silvery metal forming the knight's finger bones. The interior is hollow, but the interviewee remarked that only the most noble and valiant would dare to peer within.
"As for what counts as noble and valiant ... Someone recalls an ancient wager regarding an axe—would you be willing to prove your mettle?"

A long sword forged from fine steel, shaped like a bleached bone. An emerald is set into the crossguard, rumored to see right into the heart of anyone brought before it.
The knight rides out at summer's end, declaring who will soon be reduced to bones and who will be reborn with the coming spring.

We believe that interpreting these two vastly different masks solely by their texture or design is far from sufficient in capturing their story and mystery.
At the end of the interview, we asked if they would remove their masks. Unexpectedly, the interviewee(s) that answer(s) all questions chose not to respond.

During the interview, the interviewer noticed the subject(s) fiddling with their mask several times. After a brief exchange, they at last offered a response.
"On the back of the mirror, in a seam moonlight cannot reach, if I angle my gaze so it slips through the mask's crack and back into the world, I can again perceive eternity. A millimeter of error, though, and it all goes wrong—like the rose watered from the Fountain of Immortality, which only lost its first petal when a thousand and one days had passed."

Gleaming gold, dazzling and impenetrable, sculpted with ideal musculature and covered in intricate, dense engravings. At first glance, it seemed fit for the noblest of men—until the interviewee interrupted to correct us: only the most fearsome deserve to wear it.

Its blade bears traces of ancient forging techniques, hinting at a gift from the gods—bestowed upon a warrior who could not be defeated. To face it is to divide the strong, who rejoice, from the weak, who wail.

A triangular shard which embodies Pythagoras' theorem through the combination of precise angles of point, line, and plane—a work of geometric perfection. More crucially, it affirms its bearer's "identity" in a subtle but authoritative way.

An antenna. A sturdy antenna, made of an unknown, unidentifiable metal. I must admit that the antenna is quite a nice touch to it and makes its saucer-like body appear less dull. It might be just a functional design,but you will have to agree that it is a good fit there.

An oddly-shaped lily. Its name is also Lily, according to the interviewee. It is capable of devouring ghosts, "educating" them and sending them to "reincarnation." In some rare cases, it lets out laughter that sounds like an AI's.

A magnificent Ruyi lotus crown adorned with delicate lotus flowers, flowing ribbons, and a traditional Ruyi symbol. This ornate headpiece is reserved for high-ranking magicians at official events, serving as a representation of their prestige and authority. While it is not used to capture spirits directly, it is a crucial element in the spiritual ritual.

A ceremonial duster decorated with a white jade handle and made of horsehair. Its intended use is to brush away dust or repel insects, but there may be more to it than meets the eye.

A pair of satin gloves adorned with snakeskin that once shone brilliantly.
Over time, the interviewee neglected to care for these exquisite scales. Rather than glimmer in the light, she preferred to hide her undeveloped talent.

A speaking-staff studded with ripe fruit, capable of sending out hints of sweetness, beauty, or any number of tempting sounds and smells.
We have no idea how it actually assists her singing—perhaps interviewing another talking apple would help?

To obtain more information related to the interviewee, we started a special section called Mr. APPLe's Anecdote Collection to call for more stories about him.
Unfortunately, almost all the letters we received were speculations and conjured-up theories.

A ribbon in a wild shape. It can still be used a necktie, speaking from experience. The design has applied color matches of the season, decorated with howling letters. This would probably be how a ribbon speaks for its owner, if it could.

A fruit painted in hues that echo through the classical era or a muse to Renaissance masters—call it what you like.
"This is a total accident," says the interviewee. He fully understands the Athenians' obsession with him—though they confused it with a different, more famous fruit.
Comedy and tragedy, the interviewee says, are merely two sides of the same leaf.

A necklace made of peacock feathers, leather, and metal components, with clear signs of handmade elements.
The green eye-shaped feathers are obviously related to the interviewee's namesake. "It was a gift," the interviewee said, before declining further elaboration.

"There are many, many friends there, of all shapes and colors, with glasses and hats, singing and sleeping in pitch-dark caves. We all come from there, and you're welcome to visit!"
Believe me, when it comes from a child with such sincerity, it's an invitation you can't refuse.

Made of an unknown kind of metal, this light key is used to open the "Door of Wonderland."
The red liquid inside the bottle pendant has been determined to be rose extract, and while the species has yet to be identified, it does not have any body-transforming arcane effects.

A tea set with a cupcake to go with. It warps in a strange way and cannot be examined with common sense or the eyes. Only she understands how to use it. The photographer on the editorial team became dizzy and panicked after a long period of observation.

A large copper teapot accompanied by traditional treats. This special teapot doesn't need a heater; it can pour piping hot tea at any time. "The trick is to give the sugar a gentle green hug," she whispers as she pours the tea.

An oddly-shaped balloon. Made by the interviewee, the bone structure and blood vessels pulsate and the balloon itself is soft to the touch. It is said to possess extraordinary abilities.
When we attempted to gather all related information, we received so many letters that they covered the doorway of the editorial office.

Bears UTTU's logo. Employees can choose to wear it or not—there is no dress code at UTTU.
The interviewee is accustomed to wearing this professional attire at all times, which greatly improves her efficiency in the field, as her appearance and age can sometimes lead to inconveniences. The interviewee does, however, need a specially made extra small size for her clothes.

A composite instrument combining features of the violin, flute, euphonium, and other instruments through the "Astrictus" incantation. Known as "a most captivating gadget," "the eternal pearl of the 'Free Breeze'," and "the maestro of music" ... the interviewee used it for solos and gained numerous accolades.
It is rumored that this incantation originated from a renowned luthier family in Cremona, the birthplace of the violin. This background sheds light on the performer's extraordinary musical talents.

A souvenir in the shape of a ship's wheel, accentuated by silk ribbons in oceanic colors, given to every guest boarding the "Free Breeze."
The rules state that crew members should not ordinarily purchase or wear items intended for passengers. However, as part of a promotional stunt, the previous captain gifted this special item to the interviewee, in recognition of her role in the ship's publicity efforts.

A "Crackling Box" infused with circus flair.
The interviewee eagerly asks if we noticed the changes to this curious contraption. After a long discussion about its decorative exterior, she abruptly shifts the topic to what's inside. According to her, its tone now suits both the tundra and the sky above it.

A flawless crystal, born with an unmatched gift for capturing hidden light.
A slight shift in angle sends rainbows dancing across its surface, though its own true color is impossible to define.
Every beam that passes through it bends away, and no one can say if the crystal itself has changed in the process.

A young girl, careful but unskilled, finished her very first piece of polishing and strung it with her favorite ribbon to give to her mother. Crude beside the woman's other fine jewelry, perhaps—but from the wear on its edges, she clearly wore it for years.

An olive green cotton band tied to the end of her braid and makes both the braid and itself different to their kinds. It is the only thing on her that is not worn for imitation. Even if it looks plain, it's unique to her.

It was purchased from an unnamed store on the verge of closing down, and the exact price she paid can no longer be determined. All she remembers is paying a month's salary for it as well as a funny joke which was rarely heard in East Berlin.

This is a code name she has given herself to distinguish herself from the countless other unfeeling names like SCH KA/123456 ...
However, few are willing to call her by this new code name. For most of her colleagues, spending time and effort on this was pointless as it would only attract unwarranted suspicion.

A necklace made by the interviewee using on-site props. Rather than wear the fake pearl necklace prepared by the costume team, she opted to express a little of her true self during the shoot.

A proud little dragon, its scales gleam like gemstones, its flame is hot enough to burn through any disguise—
it's just a shame its compact size makes it far less intimidating than it thinks it is.
Active and friendly by nature, it never refuses a curious pat or whatever treats it's offered.

The interviewee wears an unusual bracelet; its largest crystal shines with a deep, quiet blue.
Despite its outward beauty during the interview, we noticed she doesn't seem to like this piece at all.
She avoids talking about where it came from, and when asked what it means to her, a rare sadness flickers across her face.

Proudly stitched by the penguins "Fluffy Duke," "Scarlet Titan," and "Brother Jake" themselves—an honorary medal from the interviewee.

Bunny girls who work hard deserve to be rewarded. A fancier title, a higher rank, a magazine cover shoot or a nice badge. From an aesthetic point of view, it is too fancy,
but in a club, it is quite appropriate.

A brilliant gold medal adorned with rubies and pearls. Not something you'd expect on an ordinary waitress. Is this impressive medal a royal commendation, or a secret gift from someone powerful? The interviewee offered no explanation, and faced with such a bright smile, we found ourselves unable to press further.

A ribbon issued to Miss Soccer, the honored guest of the celebration ceremony for Rimet Cup's return, by the host of the event. The interviewee's name has been printed on the ribbon neatly, with stripes that go with the dress embellishing the edge. The interviewee has no special feeling about it, as she doesn't need it to spread her name.

A garland from some enthusiastic fans, the bright colors expressing their affection for Miss Soccer. This unexpected gift is more to the interviewee's liking compared to the ribbon issued by the host of the event.

This feather comes from a Boobrie, a rare arcane creature with a ferocious nature. This waterbird can mimic not only the voices of other animals but also their appearances through shapeshifting. It is born an actor, so to speak.
But the interviewee knows nothing about its value. "It's just a dyed pheasant feather, isn't it?" she asked wonderingly.

A red journal filled with thoughts and notes, decorated in butterfly patterns. Though its cover shows years of wear, its owner continues to treasure it with great care.
It holds Paul's memories and carries Charon's story.

Feel free to pick one of the poppies from the interviewee's chest if you wish to listen for echoes of departed souls. Fresh buds will always reappear the next day where you plucked the flower.
Stories are told of a soldier who placed such a poppy behind their ear for a nap. He dreamed of dim figures roaming the field around him—wandering aimlessly, faces open as if to wail but never making a sound.

The interviewee's hometown is famous for inkstones made from locally quarried stone. Each child receives one when they begin their studies. These inkstones are finely made, with smooth surfaces and minute pores. No matter how long they're used, the ink never stains them black.

This is not an arcane item that would capture your soul at the click. It is much more precious than that.

A "left arm" highly sensitive to Arcane fluctuations, which nearly became a weapon used to attack the writer.
After a long and inefficient exchange, the writer failed to obtain further information. To her, this left arm seems innate. When asked, "Why is your hand different from others?" she replied, "Isn't everyone a little different from others?"

A pair of delicate "legs," seemingly designed so that she could dance forever.
The interviewee's value has clearly been precisely defined and measured, like a figurine originally designed only to spin inside a music box. If this were not merely a projected illusion but a fully realized modification, she might only be able to flee the "blue room" while dancing like a proper performer.

A piece of sophisticated medical equipment with a gray casing. The monitor can display 13 colors including gold, green and blue. Its arcanum core decides that Cobalt-61+ functions the same way as an improved wand instead of a scientific product.

"I've been here far too long—so long that I've lost all sense of time. The chronic pain kept me from moving until my doctor improved things," the interviewee recounted gently stroking the medical device that never leaves her side. "Now, for a few days each month, I can be like a bird let out of its cage, flying free, out of here, past the little window that has kept me prisoner for so long!"

A circlet given by a little spectator, its fragrant scent unusually exciting.
It's said that it lowered its head to allow her to rub its mane three times as a special gesture.

An electronic pet machine from Asia, with completely random pets inside. In these constantly changing times, virtual things often accompany you longer than real things.
"Beep—Beep—"

A silver-plated necklace purchased from a discount store, with two half-hearts forming a whole with "Best Friends Forever" engraved inside. Its other half is buried under a feather made of pixels, difficult to discern.

This "Tamagoppy" series limited-edition electronic pet, the interviewee insists, is far from ordinary. "Look closely, get ready, wait for it ... "
"Squeak! Squeak-squeak!"
... I must admit, it indeed took me by surprise.

A selection of superior hiking gear, from climbing ropes to outdoor decorations for ambiance, purchased after meticulous selection from several street-side discount stores.
Due to the lengthy selection process, their actual purchase price remains unconfirmed, but the interviewee is certain "they're unbelievably cost-effective."

An extremely simple iron badge. When we talked about it, it was hard to feel the usual gloom on the interviewee; instead, I could easily sense the radicalness and courage under his calm surface.

An amorphous hand, originating from a place of change, represents another possibility for the current state of affairs. The hand reshapes not only his appearance but also the way he sees the world. "Paint everything blue; a whole new art movement!" proclaims the artist.

Its blade burning like fire, few dare to confront its sharpness. There may be rebels, but they will only last until the remaining ash is all swept away.

"It belongs to some ancient stele" is the only information people know. Few dare to guess where it comes from, and it's recommended not to do so.

The shaft is made of white elm wood, and it is supplemented with a padded grip for comfortable handling.
Perhaps because it was used for another purpose, she finds it quite handy.

Z-shaped grid straps, tightly covering the wrist guard at the elbow joint, allow the wearer to safely perform any vigorous movements.
Long used in shot put and sailing sports, it is a good item that combines aesthetics and practicality.

Professional javelin throwing shoes, inscribed with "Leaps Begin at Your Feet" on the back. Briefly appeared in the Paris Winter Sports Fashion Show, drawing immense interest, but soon found to be impractical for everyday wear.

The reflection of a weak, dying firework. He sees it as an attempt to celebrate his birthday, though.

She wears it along with various medals and badges collected from all sorts of places. She also put a hand-stitched rainbow pattern on it to add a touch of vibrancy.

A bouquet of daisies about 32.5 cm tall. Ordinary, simple—a gift from nature.
