Chapter 14: Chapter 14

The weather has been increasingly cold lately

Though I don't get bothered by the cold since I use flames wrapping my body like a temperature regulator

Since it consumes little to no mana because I never release it on the outside

I've entered the store only to be met by a whistling noise coming from the heater that Rinnosuke managed to get

Speaking of him he is frowning looking at it with a defeated expression

I mean looking at its unclean appearance it's no wonder that the heater can't get airflow

“Rinnosuke let me clean that appliance”

“Why?”

“It's dirty, that's why it produces high pitch noise”

“How did you know?”

“If someone is choking you, can you still breathe?”

“I understand it now”

He turns off the heater and makes way for me

The heater in question is the modern one that you could see in a mall

But why did it get here? I can't question logic at this point.

I lifted the heater on the ground and put it on my workstation on the other side of the room

I simply dust it off with the brush and started to disassemble it

There's no way he got a complete tool set from picking it all up

There's probably a sponsor… A very powerful being that can freely go outside and inside like it's a child's play.

“Here”

He put a cup of tea on the table, and it smells amazing

“speaking of tea… didn't Marisa break your favorite cup set?”

His face suddenly become gloomy after I mentioned it

“yes… I wish she could replace it”.

I don't know pottery, so I couldn't help you Rinnosuke

“how about buying from the village?”

“No, the cup has sentimental value that's why it's precious”

“I see”

“I'm afraid of the heater starting a fire because it's so loud”

“but speaking of fire, there has been an increase of cremations in Gensokyo lately”

It's mainly humans though

“many people are dying because of the cold due to poverty”

I added, that no one leads the humans in Gensokyo from what I have heard

So they are very disarrayed and dying like flies

I don't know if I'm right because I have no idea to be blunt

“The increase of ghosts is probably due to that”

What?! Ghost?!

….

Well there are gods, so there's a ghost somewhere

I'm not scared of them… I swear…

*Knock* *knock*

“There's finally someone?!”

He seemed excited about getting his first costumer

I'm already finished cleaning up this heater because my hand never stops at what it's doing

A side effect of getting reattached again?

It seemed to have an independent action to some extent

“I'm looking for just the right kind of teacups. Would you happen to have some of it here?”

The tone's kind of cold, strict, and emotionless?

“Yes, I surely do. What kind of cup would you like?”

“A small, pretty, white one… You see, the kind of white cup that would look nice with dark liquids, and it can't be too heavy. But the real issue is the shape, which should be a little complex… Well, I'll decide about that when I see them. Oh, and I need a pair of them.”

It seemed that the lady is finding Victorian-styled cups

“Err, I see…”

I got up and decided to put this heater back on

I see the girl that wanted the cups it's a girl that has bright red eyes, silver hair worn in long braids on both sides of her face with green bows at the ends, and a white maid's headband. She wears a pink/white and dark blue French maid's outfit with an apron, short sleeves, and a green ribbon. She is also seen carrying three knives, and the phrase “Red Magic” appears to be embroidered on her left sleeve.

Well, if it isn't the head made of the Scarlet Devil Mansion Sakuya Izayoi

I'm not close to her because she isn't the type to chatter, while I don't bother to talk

Rinnosuke looks at me and I guess he needs some help

“I think we have the perfect cup for your liking”

I remember it's one of Rinnosuke's treasured cups

I've grabbed the box in the draw and opened it, only to be met with broken cups and a written note that has Marisa's name on it

Not only does she break Rinnosuke's Favorite cups, she also breaks Rinnosuke's Treasured ones

“Why did you freeze Ibaraki-”

It seemed we were both feeling shocked and having a monologue in our minds

“Which ones?”

“We have not”

Rinnosuke Reached out for the paper

“Hmm, this appears to be Marisa's writing, yes? ‘Sorry’? What does that mean?”

Huh? Since when did Sakuya have the paper?

“Yes, just like you said. I like these. Can I take them?”

Hmm… That's weird, why would she want a broken cup?

“Huh? I-is that so? Well, I do like them… but they are not exactly normal.”

Yeah… It's not normal.

Well, normal isn't a definition of Gensokyo though

“They are so pretty, and they will look wonderful with black tea. They are exactly what the Mistress wished for.”

Can you fix it?

“Hey! Sakuya, are you in there?”

The voice sounded childish, like a bratty child in those animes I saw

The door opens, revealing Reimu and a little girl

The little girl has red eyes, short light-blue hair, and a light-pink mob cap with a red ribbon decorated with white stripes. She wears a light-pink dress with a red ribbon on both sleeves, a large red ribbon behind her waist with white stripes, and a necklace featuring a Caduceus-like centerpiece. She also has a pair of large black bat-like wings on her back with a wingspan wider than her height.

“My, it seems to be Reimu. When did you return to the shrine? And you brought the Mistress, too…”

It seemed they are talking, might as well test the Heater

I go to the cashier section and turn on the device, making it blow warm air

I could say I am proud of it

In the corner of my eyes, the little girl that I see seemed to observe me

She is a loli vampire, and she is probably stronger than me

My basis is in fiction if it's a loli they are probably a hundred years old that is a master of something absurd

I doubt they are weak in this fantasy place that I'm walking

“Remilia, in the first place, why are you walking about in the middle of the day, even though you're a vampire? Shouldn't you be inside a coffin?”

“I can still have a sunbath viewing. And by the way, coffins are for holding dead people. You seem to have a misunderstanding.”

Aw… I thought Vampires sleep in the coffin.

“Anyway, what I'm going to do if rumors of a devil at the shrine start to spread!?”

“You don't have to do anything. Besides, the offertory box was empty.”

“But that may be because it is a godless shrine. Right, Mistress?”

“Don't call it godless!”

Bullying, my friend is a crime

“Yeah, it isn't godless”

“Ibaraki…”

She said it with a touched tone

“It's called desolate”

Without me

“You aren't helping either!!”

She decided to lunge at me like a cat and needless to say, I just stand there while she punches me

It didn't hurt to be blunt

“ouch… What are you made of?”

She has tears in her eyes while clutching her hand

“flesh and bones”

I wanted to say the game lines, but that's suspicious

“Oh, right, Sakuya. Did you find the fine teacups?”

“Here, Mistress. Can you see them?”

I see the cute face of the little girl warped into disbelief

Probably Sakuya is a sadistic person
