Chapter 11: Chapter 11

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 it's 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 are 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: Jeez, 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.

Furthermore, 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
