The bell above the store's door jingled when I entered.
Carlotta turned toward me.
She almost jumped when she saw me, clearly startled.
I glanced around the shop for a moment. It was small, quiet, and oddly clean for being inside a Cursed Spirit's domain.
Carlotta hesitated before walking over.
"Hello," she said carefully.
"Yes?" I turned to face her.
"Do you know where we are?" she asked, her voice unsteady.
"I do," I said. "We're inside a Cursed Spirit's domain."
"…!" Carlotta's face brightened. But then she quickly hid it, and asked, "Cursed Spirit? What is that? Aren't we in some kind of test being done by that alien race?"
Carlotta was currently searching for her little brother who had been kidnapped by an Exorcist.
She had been searching for him all this while.
Since she entered a Cursed Spirit's domain, she must be happy that she could now meet with Exorcists and find news about her brother.
