Treasure chest found in the attic

The holiday was supposed to start at midnight, and so Victor was in a hurry. He wanted to clean himself up before the holiday. A thermos of coffee jingled in his backpack, and Victor decided to take a break. Three cups of coffee was perfect for helping him regain his energy. Once he forgot the thermos at home, and barely made it to the end of the work shift. The coffee he drank was unusual. The recipe for this coffee was shared with Victor by his departed friend, the Ghost in the baseball cap. The coffee that was in the thermos was not really a coffee drink in the full sense of the word. However, the drink needed to find a name, and therefore Victor decided to equate the energy power of the drink with the power of coffee.
In general, it doesn’t matter what the drink was called, the most important thing is that it helped Victor regain his strength. When the thermos was empty, Victor looked around again. Each time there were less and less little things in the attic. There were bulky and inconvenient things to carry. Victor calmed himself and said that there would be enough things for his lifetime, but he understood that soon he would have to look for another attic. The attic under the roof of the department store was elongated. Where there were windows it was easy to find things, where there was no light it was a problem. No lamp could disperse the darkness, and therefore in these places the young man searched for things at random, in the dark. The thing he found today was small. It felt and shaped like a small chest. The young man tried to open this chest, but in the dark he could not do anything. Struggling with impatience, he brought this thing to the bright side of the attic. Indeed, it was a small forged chest. The size of the chest was small, about the size of a standard women's bag. However, the chest didn't feel empty. It was small but very heavy. So heavy that Victor couldn't lift it at first. Surprised, the young man thought about what could be so heavy in such a small chest? It was unrealistic to drag this heavy thing to the restaurant. You may not believe me, but the chest was so heavy that Victor could not hold it on weight even for one minute. However, there must be a new Bakeneko at today's feast. Just yesterday, the slave of the thing, Tsukomogami, declared to Ohaguro-Battari that his work was over and he was ready to leave. Therefore, today it was extremely necessary to bring a new thing to the kitchen of the restaurant. Victor thought that he would have to tinker with the chest lock, but there were no problems, the chest opened easily. Victor was a gambling young man and loved all sorts of secrets and surprises, so he looked forward to and hoped to find something unusual in the chest. So, again, the lid of the chest lifted easily. The contents of the chest were covered in cobwebs. When Victor brushed away the web, it turned out that the contents were covered with a green velvet rag. Throwing away the rag, Victor finally got to the bottom of the chest. There were real treasures in front of him. The young man was not very experienced in treasures. He faintly distinguished between costume jewelry and real jewelry, but he guessed that this chest was not simple. However, he managed to think out all these thoughts after the fact. The heavy string of pink pearls he took in his hand suddenly pulled him into the past.
