Sotheby

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'. "

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.

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.

An unremarkable plastic handicraft—or, rather, a part of one. It contains no traces of Arcanum. The round, blunted end may not be capable of pricking a finger, but there are times when it's perfect for piercing drapery swaying in the wind.

A thin and flexible red thread symbolizing all the connections and ties in the world. The interviewee uses it for a kind of string game, weaving intricate patterns between her fingers.

She kindly asked if we'd like to learn this ancient game, but for the sake of our readers' love lives, we politely declined.

The shadow of war has drifted away in the 1920s. Businesses and investments became the focuses of society once again and, with the expansion of the city, the desire for them grew swiftly.

Steel and concrete covered all available areas, creating a concrete forest inhabited only by humans and pets, taking up the space which once belonged to the trees, animals and stories of the past.

An increasing number of people left the countryside and moved into the city, including some arcanists.

As time passed, the arcanists' changed their meeting place from the wooden houses in the forest to the posh balls of high society.

The city turned out to be a great place for most arcanists. The only issue was that something seemed to be missing ...

For instance, animals.

As well as the stories.

Hello, thank you for reading my diary!

I would like to share the latest research achievement I have made! Last month, the Nutrient Potion I made was proven to be very effective. Even the weakest maid has gained weight in a short time, but somehow the merchants don't want to promote it. I will keep trying.

Although I am not yet completely able to tell the difference between normal and arcanum animals, I have come up with a good way to identify the former quickly!

All the existing books on arcanum animals use normal animals to describe them. For example, "A Behemoth's body is like that of a hippo." So does that mean we can go the other way around? Like "A hippo's body is like that of a Behemoth"!

I believe this idea can help many friends who have the same problem as me!

Anyway, thank you again for reading my diary!

Feel free to ask me if you want to read it again! I will always show you ... even though I don't know who you are going to be!

Pandora Wilson: Hello, I am—

Sotheby: A talking mouth! This table with a mouth must be some kind of arcanum animal. Let me see, you are ...

Pandora Wilson: It's just a table. The talking mouth is my arcane skill.

Sotheby: Alright. Anyway ... amazing arcanum!

Pandora Wilson: Could you introduce "Typhon" to me?

Sotheby: Great, great! I'm glad to hear that question! What would you like to learn first? Shall we start with this pendant? "Ms. Mouth," can you see this cute "Typhon" pendant?

Pandora Wilson: I do see some pendants, but I'm not sure if it's cute or if it's the "Typhon" you talked about.

Sotheby: Yes, it is! There is no doubt that it's cute! My dear lady, don't you think it's cute? Just like your mouth conjured out of the table!

Pandora Wilson: I'm not quite sure if that's a compliment.
