There’s a reason that this is so highly rated, and that’s simply because it’s marvellous.

At a mysterious antique shop that appears only on rainy days, Sou finds the keepsakei of his grandfather that he supposedly lost i a long time ago. He asks the owner, TSukil, who has a different air about him, to hand it over to him, but it's not money that this shop accepts as payment. With a fearless smile, the condition that Tsukii put forth is "Please give birth to my child" - This was a lovely story, with its hints of mystery, nostalgia, and the supernatural. It was a touch rushed in parts but then it settled into a good pace for the ending.
