Day 3 Part 2
I can't tell if she put on the ring for emotional reasons or this is the store influencing her.
Looking into each other eyes all that's running in my head is one word.
F*ck!!
What am I post to do? I never seen someone put on a cursed object so I don't know how it will affect her.
I need to take this slow for now. I'll find a way to remove it later.
"Uh, are you feeling okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine now. Oh, I'm sorry that I put on one of your rings without permission. It's just that I felt putting it on will make me feel better... and it kinda did."
Is it me or is this situation quite awkward?
"... Okay well, I'm sorry to do this but the store is about to close."
"Umm okay here's $50 for the ring I hope you don't mind if I keep it."
Leaving $50 on the glass counter she ran out of the store.
Standing still not knowing what to do I walked in a daze over to the counter and put away the money for now.
It took me an hour to snap out of my daze state to find myself still next to the counter.
Knowing that standing around won't help me I opened the chat group for help.

(Great Ghost Society Chat Room:
System: User [Twilight City Curse Store Owner (TCCSO)] has entered the room.
Mummy-Ymmum (MY): Is this a new user?
DF: Yes, he is. Hey TCCSO I think I'll visit your store tomorrow give me it's addressed.
TCCSO: Sure, it's ***** **** ST ******* Twilight City and can I ask you for some help.
DF: Sure what is it?
TCCSO: Do you know how to remove curses or someone who does?
DF: I don't know how but Glutton Goo (GG) he should be online let me get him, wait a bit.
TCCSO: Sure.
MY: Hey new kid why do you want a curse removed? Aren't you selling curses stuff?
TCCSO: Well a girl visited my store and got cursed to fall in love with me.
MY: Oh, I see. Remind me if I ever visit your store to not touch whatever she used I don't want to end up like her. I'm spoken for.
DF: I'm back and brought a little friend with me 😁.
System: User [Glutton Goo (GG)] has entered the room.
GG: Who are you calling little you old piece of sh*t!! So who is it who wanted help with a curse?
TCCSO: That will be me. A girl accidentally put on a cursed ring that makes any ones who wear it fall in love with the first living beings they see.
GG: Who or what and how cursed that ring.
TCCSO: A God of Love cursed it and I don't know how they did it.
GG:... Okay, you need to kill that girl.
TCCSO: What!?
GG: Well you see things cursed by gods thence to have some hidden effects, one could be divine punishment so it's best to stay away from them. You're not giving me enough information so that's the best choice for a direct result.
TCCSO: What are the other ways, I would like to avoid killing her altogether.
GG: Well, if you really want to lift her curse other than just killing her go find any to all high-level priest or priestess of every God of Love to perform a curse removing ritual. This method might not work if the God that put that curse is dead so you might need to find a stronger curse or as strong to replace the old one.
TCCSO: Thanks I can probably do the second one.
GG: Okay, but you need to find a curse that's a completely different nature of the one she has as they might merge into one curse. Furthermore, be warned if you accidentally merge them somehow to not be near her as curses merging isn't something you want to be near.
TCCSO: Okay, I will be going now.

After getting out of the group chat I opened the store functions on the interface and looked at hating, repulsive, and loathing curses.

...)
From what Glutton Goo told me I need a curse that is stronger or as strong to work then the already existing one. There is also the fact a curse caused by a God has hidden effects I need one with a similar background or stronger.
(Store

Now, it looks like I needed a lot of money.
Let me try my luck with the free draw.

---
Well, I tried.
After closing the interface I locked the front door and go back upstairs to fall asleep or pretend to be.
I was laying on my bed until I heard someone knocking on the store's front door.
Getting up I go downstairs and when I reach the store area the interface showed up in front of my face.
(Nightlight mode has been activated.
Nightlight: When things go bumping in the night they will be attracted to your store like moths to a flame. Your store is finally opened so you must sell an item by the end of tonight.)
Seeing this I quickly close the screen and slowly focus my eyes to the door like I'm waiting for it to open on its own and to my expectations, the door did open but not like how I thought it would.
First black smoke started to rise from under the door. The black smoke didn't spread over the room like I thought it would but cover the door completely. Once the door was covered in the dark smoke it somehow caves in collapsing the door inwardly on its own to reveal a dark and ominous background and when looking at it you feel like you're staring at a void of nothingness.
Seeing this I walked near it and reached out my hand to only fine it being blocked by some invisible force.
Removing my hand I walk to the glass counter and stood behind it waiting for whatever to come through what was the door.
It didn't take long for something to come in and it wasn't a person.
A black-figure on four legs came in with two tail swaying at it's back and a white bone crown on its head along with two up straight ears it was a weird looking cat.
Looking at the cat with confusion written all over my face the black cat looked at me and open its mouth to meow at me but what really came out of its mouth wasn't that.
"What no greeting and what's with that look on your face it's like you never seem such a beautiful being like myself."
"A talking cat?"
"Hey who are you calling a cat! I'm a Majestic being known all over the world as the one and only Majestic."
"A narcissistic cat then. What brings you to my store?"
"Hey, I told you I'm not a cat I'm Majestic."
"Fine fine, so what do you want."
"Hmph~ Not telling."
"What a stuck up cat."
I then watch the cat moving around the store aimlessly until it reached its paws towards the cures blankets. It kept feeling the blanket out until it seems satisfied than using its tails it picks up the blanket and walked towards the counter.
When it reaches the counter it jumps on top of it like nothing and placed the blanket down before laying on the blanket like it was just right and fell asleep.
"What are you doing?"
"Testing out the merchandise I'm deciding whether I want to buy it or not."
"Umm ha, do you have any money to pay for it anyway?"
"... Zzz... Zzz..."
It pretended to fall asleep or it actually did fall asleep can't tell.
Not knowing what to do I looked back at the door and it didn't take long for the next guest to appear.
The guest this time was a human maybe he has long red hair in a ponytail, green eyes and he's wearing a business suit along with a walking cane.
After stepping into my store he walked straight to the counter like an elegant young master from a tv drama.
It seems like something caught his eye inside the glass counter because he's staring at it intensely.
Being a good host I started to talk with him as he's just standing in front of me like a wooden plank and it's making me feel uncomfortable.
"Welcome to my store is there anything you are interested in."
"Hello, my good gentleman I'm interested in this book you have here."
