Misetani Box

Misetani Box (店谷=ボックス, Misetani Bokkusu), fan translated as Shop Valley Box, is a woman that lives in the world of Dark. She sells variety of items like Flesh of Darkness, Bones of Darkness, Dark Cores and others, which can be exchanged for bones and flesh of aliens. She has a side gig of making boozy manju buns.

After Zaha buys Misetani’s Toll, she can be summoned to any dark, foreboding place.

Appearance
She appears to be an adult with a petite built. Standing next to Avakian, she is estimated 155 cm tall. She has short hair with uneven bangs. Initially left white in the early Gessan chapters, but for the reprinted first volume and all further chapters, Q uses a grey screentone for her hair, and in a bonus colour illustration, she was depicted with blue hair. She has light blue eyes with two circle patterns inside of them and bushy eyebrows.

She wears a dark, tattered poncho with a hood and six spikes, a chain hanging loosely from it and her chest and back partially exposed. She has bandaged her arms and legs. Under her coat, she wears rib cage appendages over her bare breasts, as well as simple underwear and belts connecting it to the bandages. She also keeps a bag and carries a spear that is connected to her shop box. The shop box itself is shaped like a skull.

Personality
Misetani is a shrewd shopkeeper whose assortment is completely geared towards Zaha and Avakian, and she refers to them as her best customers, however, this doesn't prevent her from trying to swindle them.

She prides herself on her poker face, a permanent smile. She was nevertheless, and comically so, very expressive during chapter 14 and 15, where she shows joy at being sold Hajime Damemaru, fear at being called out and intimidated by Shimada and surprise and anger to have Damemaru snatched away from her.

She is acquaintances with Shimada, being greeted with a "long time no see" when they met in chapter 11. She accuses him of being "someone who just window shops" and becomes annoyed when Shimada brags of his powerful self not needing any special items. While trying to swindle Avakian in chapter 15, she secretly thinks of Shimada as a "scumbag with sharp senses".

She refers to herself with the neutral and polite personal pronoun watashi (私).

Plot
When Zaha and Avakian visited her, she greeted them as they being regulars and then quickly attacked Zaha, asking for his bones, but then said she was just joking. Zaha then gave her all the bones and flesh he collected. She then asked them what they would want, to get more Bones of Darkness, level up their Skin of Darkness or Flesh of Blood of Darkness to strengthen their body. Or perhaps a Dark Core to complete their ship, to which both Zaha and Avakian quickly agreed on. After giving them the core, she then told them she also sells boozy manju buns, which Zaha and Avakian also quickly brought.
