It seemed Reimu has come back from who knows where
Reimu: I'm back, hey Ibaraki can I have this Yukata?
Ibaraki: as long you could pay for it
Reimu: how much is it?
Ibaraki: I don't know, I don't put pricing on it nor do I care how much its market value
Ibaraki: but the materials are from Rinnosuke so you might ask him
Nice one Ibaraki, you are going to be the employee of the month
Rinnosuke: well if you want it the price will be the-
Reimu: ohh? If it isn't Marisa. What are you doing in a place like this?
Marisa: that's my line. I just came here for Ibaraki and some stuff like a normal customer
Rinnosuke: Reimu, this is a store. Could you not call it "a place like this"
Reimu: But whenever I come, I never see any customers. The location isn't so great either.
Rinnosuke: any way about the price-
Marisa: I just said I am a customer
Reimu walked up to one of the cupboards, took out a teapot, and began preparing tea as if she owned the place. They do whatever they want as usual. They're not even customers.
Rinossuke: let's talk about the compensation for the fixed clothes and possibly the new clothes you are going to buy
Reimu: I thought this is free?
Ibaraki: if things are free not many humans die every day
Reimu just stays silent and thinks hard, I doubt there's something inside of her head
Reimu: well you never take cash
Rinnosuke: What're you saying? The fees for all your requests and everything you took from here are all on your tab.
As she pours tea on her teacup
Reimu: that's because I never walk around with money. But it's not like there's any at home either.
Ibaraki: that's normal after all the shrine is far away from the village and the path is full of yokai
Ibaraki: that's why I'm more surprised if you have money at all
Ibaraki that's way too blunt
Reimu seemed gotten shot and can't retaliate to what Ibaraki said
So Reimu looked at me
Reimu: you're after these books aren't you?
Reimu placed her teacup down, sat beside me, and began gathering the books that were soon to be mine.
Rinnosuke: ...Reimu, those books aren't enough to cover your tab
Reimu: I took this from a Yokai I'm sure this is worth something
--------------------------------------------------------------
I forgot Rinnosuke is a Businessman
It's very clear that he wants the books but he keeps beating the bush
Though it's true because in normal circumstances a second-hand book sells lesser than a newly created one
And no old books aren't worth a lot if the author of the book isn't famous
From what I see that book is about computers and stuff that is practically worthless in the current era...
But you might get a hefty price if you sell it to the Kappa's
Marisa: Ibaraki
Ibaraki: What is it, Marisa?
Marisa: you keep cleaning the same spot over and over again
Ibaraki: ahh... I just lost in my thoughts
Marisa: Did something bother you?
Ibaraki: not at all, it's just it's too peaceful that means trouble will come
Marisa: I doubt trouble will happen this store is very deserted
*loud knocking*
Ibaraki: jinx
Marisa looks surprised by the sudden knocks
While I continue to clean because I hate fighting too...
That's a lie I just want her to cause damages so I could have a reason to beat a person
?:I know the girl in red is in there! She's the one that took my books!
The door opens revealing a furious little girl. Her clothes are messy since she is the one that Reimu chased
Reimu: Geez, you're persistent. I beat you so just go back into the forest like a good youkai!
You aren't even a good shrine maiden Reimu so how could you say a yokai to be good
?: Huh? you aren't wearing red?
?: I'm Violet Today
?: Just give me my books back!
?: Even if you tell me to. I can't do anything about it. I don't have them anymore so give up
I wonder how hard today's lesson is...
Sitting there in silence for 30 minutes made me lose my mind... I hope I could go, beyond that
Ohh... For some reason, Marisa and the girl go out
While Reimu and Rinnosuke started to talk again
Rinnosuke: It's my stash of the finest tea. I was saving it for a special occasion, too...
Reimu: Oh, will there ever be such an occasion?
Rinnosuke: there will be
Reimu: You're not going to sell those books, right? Your stock here hasn't changed at all.
Rinnosuke: No, they're all merchandise
That's a lie he could just pick some stuff and sell it in the village but he didn't so he isn't selling this thing
He is more of a collector than a seller
I think there are giant spiders in the forest I think I could get some silk from them
I could ask nicely if they can comprehend human language but I could force them
They are called Jorogumo or whore-spider from the Japanese folklore
I need something to cut their silk something sharp that doesn't dull...
Ah! I forgot my sword! No wonder I feel incomplete
I heard the cries of a little girl and Marisa's laughter from the inside
Well, I'm glad she had fun...
--------------------------------------------------------------
I'm currently with Kasen going back from the mountain
Kasen: you have a sword?
Ibaraki: of course, I have one as the former leader of Onis I have a weird they can intimidate any human
Ibaraki: it's a cursed sword rather than a normal one
Kasen: is it a giant sword?
Ibaraki: it's taller than me that's for sure
Kasen: I thought you prefer fist when fighting?
Ibaraki: yes, but I need the sword to cut things when my fist isn't going to work
Ibaraki: though my sword has no name because I didn't use as much
Ibaraki: I called it the bone sword
Kasen: does that made out of bones?
Ibaraki: yes! it's the bone of our ancestors
Kasen: haha...
Kasen awkwardly laughs as she makes a distance between us
Ibaraki: you can't blame me, I didn't make it. it's been passed down for generations
Kasen: that's... Cool...
Ibaraki: well it's weird at first but if it's been with you for a very long time it feels normal
Kasen: I rather not
Well, I'm not giving it though...
--------------------------------------------------------------
We are in the cave where I first awaken
Though the path here is very small that a miss-step can make you fall
In the center of the cave, there's a word that is full of paper and some rope
The sword handle is colored violet while its body is made out of bones the blade part is made out of metal
I grab it-
--------------------------------------------------------------
I see Ibaraki grabs her sword but she stayed silent the entire time
I grew restless inside so I called her out
Kasen: Ibaraki?
The sword restraint suddenly went into flames
I saw Ibaraki's golden eyes moving erratically and she keeps repeating the word die and destroy
Kasen: Ibaraki! Snap out of it!
She becomes rigid and her eyes suddenly regain their light and now her hair regains flames
Ibaraki: a mere sword wants to control me?
Ibaraki: then I will beat you f*****g piece of scrap!
She then started to abuse her sword
I don't know what happened but I'm grateful that it's nothing bad
It's a bit comical seeing her beating the sword though
