The Deadly Charm

Part 24 : Secret of the Soul

Secret Mission: Nendoroid Doll

The evening sky was bathed in golden light, casting a warm glow as the sun began to set. Krittin and Akira walked along a quiet, small road, heading toward a charming toy store. The shop, named "Kawaii Toy Heaven," had a handwritten wooden sign and large glass windows that reflected the inviting interior, filled with dolls and toys.

Krittin held the door open for Akira, and as the bell above the door chimed, he paused by her side. Akira's eyes lit up with excitement and anticipation as she took in the sight of the numerous dolls displayed throughout the store.

The most eye-catching display was the rack of Nendoroid dolls, each with bright colors and unique designs. Krittin led Akira to a shelf featuring some of the most popular and sought-after Nendoroid dolls.

"Ai, try choosing one," Krittin suggested with a smile.

Akira looked over the hundreds of dolls, each one seeming to come to life with its unique character and appeal. Some were especially captivating.

Suddenly, a particular doll caught Akira's eye. It was a figure of a handsome young man dressed in a modern, intricately designed suit. The suit was made of fine, shiny black fabric, meticulously sewn with beautiful details. The buttons on the collar and belt gleamed with a reflective silver finish, making them stand out.

The doll's face was deeply charming, with clear blue eyes that radiated warmth and confidence. His jet-black hair was styled in a modern cut that perfectly complemented his suit. His face exuded both handsomeness and intelligence, suggesting leadership and self-assurance.

One of the doll's most distinctive features was the weapon he held—a pistol in his hand, adding a sense of purpose and mystery, as if he were ready for a secret mission.

The pistol in the Nendoroid's hand was detailed, with modern features that added to its charm. The figure's arms were covered in sleek black gloves, giving him a stylish look, ready to handle any difficult situation.

The doll's posture was dignified, yet it still conveyed a sense of friendliness and gentleness. One hand held the gun, while the other was positioned in a supportive stance, as if he were prepared to help and protect in any scenario.

"Very cute," Akira said as she picked up the doll, admiring it. She was clearly drawn to this one.

"Do you like it?" Krittin asked.

"Um," Akira nodded with a cheerful smile.

"Then it's this one," Krittin decided, smiling softly at Akira's enthusiasm. Unable to deny her desire, he picked up the doll and walked to the counter to pay.

Divine Spirit in the Mysterious Forest

The next day, Krittin and Akira set off in a car driven by Krittin—a simple yet powerful luxury black vehicle. The car cruised along a winding road that led them deep into the countryside. Surrounded by nature, it felt like they were escaping the hustle and bustle of the big city. The hum of the engine provided a sense of relaxation and calm that contrasted with their usual daily lives.

The path to the forest was a dirt road that wound its way through mountains and lush forests. The narrow, twisting trail felt like a journey into unknown territory. Although the detour might have seemed daunting, the sense of adventure and excitement kept their spirits high.

Akira gazed out the window, taking in the sight of towering mountains, their peaks shrouded in a thin mist beneath the bright blue sky. The greenery of the rainforest seemed to greet them warmly. Krittin, sitting beside her, maintained a relaxed and calm demeanor.
