Xander POV

It's been a week since I've arrived (ore sanjou) to the boiling isles and life has been fun. I was with Eda at her stand while we wait for owlbert to get back with more stuff to sell

Xander: so when will he be back?

Eda: not sure usually depends "she said before owlbert lands infront of her" finally, you're back. Now let's see what we've got here

As Eda went through the stuff owlbert brought such as an engagement ring and the holy grail she stops on a pair of joke glasses

Eda: now this will make us rich "she said as Xander chuckles before she takes out a book" and this...oh, this will make good kindling

She was getting ready to throw it into a fire but a girl runs up and grabs it

Girl: excuse me, sorry, it's mine, thank you

After she grabbed the book she goes to the door only for Eda to seal the door

Eda: [takes off the glasses] you're not going anywhere

The girl runs off as I follow her. When I catch up to her I see she's talking to a fairy

Eda: eat you? Why would I eat...a potential customer?

While the girl looks confused Eda goes and shows many human things until she gets to a tv

Eda: how about this black shadow box that reflects only sadness?

Girl: [chuckles] that's not all it can do. Here, let me see it

She then grabs some batteries before putting them in the tv turning it on while many people come and try to buy it

Eda: what did you say your name was?

Girl: I'm Luz. Luz Noceda

Xander: nice to meet you Luz I'm Xander

Eda: and I'm Eda the Owl Lady, the most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles!

Luz: a witch?

Eda: I am a respected, feared-
