I've walked to the west side of my camp to see if there's a house that can hire me
Though I am not lying when I say I am not tired at all
I guess it's my deposition as a heroic spirit despite I didn't do anything heroic at all
Though in my case I am an anti-hero
I am speaking as Ibaraki Douji, not Sofia if that makes sense
Though I could see some little humanoid flying seemingly scared of me
Probably the burnt meat already affecting me
Wait... I am Ibaraki Douji which is a game character and I see some little humanoids then does that mean I'm in a fantasy type of world?
Holy cow! The realization kicks in
I should know that I am not in my world because I am the Ibaraki Douji!!!
Okay... Cool down then I could use my Isekai knowledge and I will conclude that I am in another world
Due to the lack of contamination, the starry sky, lack of plastic, and clean stream water because stomach aches didn't happen
Hmm... That means those monsters aren't my imagination because of the burnt meat and water
Though they are very weak or it's just me being strong...
Well, let's find someone since this is a fantasy world, after all, I don't need to worry about problems regarding race Right?
--------
Holy cow, I'm wrong because a group of hunters sees me and they all scurry seemingly afraid of me
Or it's just Ibaraki's appearance is not blended with the native Onis here
Well whatever thats just one time second time is the charm
After walking around I concluded that this forest has some sort of magic that made me lose track
Or it's just me being bad at directions which is possible
Well continue walking
---------
I've finally seen a house! In this vast forest, there's a house!
Though it's a bit dilapidated who cares I will knock it gently
The sign read as Kirisame Magic Shop
I don't know Japanese at all but for some reason, I know how to read it...
Ahh... I forgot that Ibaraki's origin is from Japan
*knock* *knock* *knock*
There's no person?
I will wait or I will find someone else? This is a tough decision...
Fine I will look for another shop I'm sure I could find another one
-----------
She arrived at a house that has its warehouse on the side while there was a giant letter on the top of the door Kourindou
This building seemed to be maintained quite well I am sure the owner is right here right now
She knocks on the door and opens it and she saw the inside of the room that has some modern and futuristic kinds of stuff on it and there are two people inside of it
A girl that has blonde hair and yellow eyes. She wears clothes with a black and white color scheme, consisting of a black vest and skirt, a white waist apron and undershirt, and a black witch hat with a white bow. Her hair is commonly braided on one side with a bow on the end
[Marisa Kirisame]
And the other is a boy that has golden eyes, short silver hair and wears a pair of glasses. His clothes are black and blue
[Rinnosuke Morichika]
The two of them are surprised by the sudden visit and they become tense after seeing her
Ibaraki: are you accepting a helper perhaps
The guy and girl are surprised by that because this is the first time they see a yokai asking for a job
Marisa: um, Are you an Oni?
Ibaraki: yes, what of it?
Marisa: because I've heard Onis disappeared long ago
Ibaraki: not at all we are just under the ground
Well technically I am under the ground since I am inside of a mountain
Marisa: ohh! And I've heard that Oni's are super strong!
Ibaraki: yes
Marisa: that's why... fight me!
Rinnosuke: Marisa I don't think that's a good idea...
Marisa: it's just a spar Kourin I will be fine
Marisa: what do you think?
Ibaraki: kehehe... Naturally
The boy can only sigh as his friend seemed eager to challenge me
------------------
On the outside of Kourindou Ibaraki and Marisa are fighting each other
Rinnosuke: I'll explain the rules
Rinnosuke: you could only be a single time and you are out after that
Rinnosuke: don't use lethal attacks that can kill each other
Rinnosuke: furthermore you could only use five spell cards
Rinnosuke: is everyone ready?!
Ibaraki|Marisa: yes!
Rinnosuke: start!
Ibaraki suddenly in front of Marisa making her surprised and she used a simple judo collar throw making Marisa lie in the dirt
Ibaraki: I won
Rinnosuke isn't surprised to see Marisa lose that easily because the girl she is facing is probably the second most dangerous yokai he met other than Yakumo
Marisa: so fast... That meant I need to be faster than you!
Marisa: next time I will beat you!
Ibaraki: Oh-ho? Then don't disappoint me human
Marisa: my name is Marisa Kirisame what's yours?
Ibaraki: Ibaraki Douji
Rinnosuke froze from hearing her name after all Ibaraki is one of the subordinates of the fearsome Shuten Douji that he read in the books
------
Marisa: didn't you say you want a job?
Ibaraki: yes
Marisa: how much pay do you want?
Ibaraki: I only need to sleep inside of the house thats about it.
Marisa: wait... Do you only want to have a roof to sleep on?
Ibaraki: of course, it's hard to sleep in the wilderness and I hate it there
Marisa: then how about you work for me
Uwaah... Hearing that made my instincts mad
I guess this is what you called an Oni pride
But I want to live under the roof so being prideful doesn't help me
Ibaraki: sure...
Marisa: then that settles it! We can start the job!
--------------------------------------------------------------
And for some reason that I didn't catch, I am fighting a red-haired martial artist guarding the gate of this giant mansion
Though I don't hate it
I'm just asking why
