Chapter 18: Chapter 18

I've been watching Korean pranks lately, and it's hilarious 'Hoodboyz, Foksowagen, HCU, and Yolo comics' is the YouTube channels that I've watched

--------------------------------------------------------------

This is quite weird…

The most dangerous person I've known in Gensokyo is fawning toward the most polite Oni that I've known

I am Morichika Rinnosuke, the person that created Kourindou in the middle of the Forest of Magic

It's a shop that has some interesting things from the outside world

The goods that I have I acquired either because it's been spirited away into here or because my supplier is giving me the goods

my supplier is the most dangerous Yokai in Gensokyo

The Gap Sage Yakumo Yukari, which is currently there having fun talking towards Ibaraki Douji

Which is a strange Oni that has recently been released by the seal restraining her

She said that the seals are quite old, that's why she is free from it

An Oni that lost her purpose and tries to find a place to fit in… Honestly, she is quite an oddity compared to modern Onis right now

“Yakumo! Don't Abuse my cheeks!”

And currently, Yakumo is having the time of her life toying with Ibaraki

This situation is quite confusing, to say the least

Ohh… She bit Yukari…

Ibaraki?!!!!

“Hahaha…”

It seemed Yukari is laughing

“what? Stop! That tickles!!”

“Yukari can be seen tickling Ibaraki with her left hand as the Oni in a laughing fit while Rinnosuke looking at the scene like the world is ending”

.......

Hmm! I should sleep.

-----------

“well, too bad that this will be cut short”

I'll use the meanest stare that I've known to look at this lady who kept teasing me

“ahh… I wanted to play more though…”

“You could go home and don't come back to annoy me”

“Ohh! If I finished the things I need to do, I could go back to play with you”.

“Thanks for the suggestion, Ibaraki~”

“No, what I meant-!”

She enters an eerie portal and blows a kiss toward me before she disappears

I tried to swat the imaginary flying kiss but to think it dodges and planted itself on my cheeks

Even Stella didn't kiss me!!!!

'The Oni stomped the ground like a child that has been deceived'

*sigh*

“Ibaraki~!”

“Hmm…?”

I look towards the sound of, and I saw Marisa with unkempt hair and very disheveled clothes

I ran towards her

“what happened? Did you fight with someone?”

“No, I solved the Incident, which means spring will come back!”

“Huh?”

“You don't pay attention to your surroundings?”

“I pay attention and I thought it's normal for winter to stop because I'm in a weird place”

“That's true…”

Seeing Marisa is on an awkward position made me feel bad

“Can you teach me how days and months work in here?”

“Ahh… I forgot you just have broken free, then let me teach you!”

“Later, I just need to say goodbye to Rinnosuke”

“Eh? Why?”

“I will accompany you towards the house and patch you up”

“I'm fine”

“You need to rest, and you are probably hungry”

Marisa showed a sheepish smile means I hit the nail

“then let's go”

-----

We are currently in her house as she cleans herself while I am just looking at meat and vegetables on the tabletop

“How the f**k do you cook?”

I know how to fry an egg and call it food

I mean modern necessities of canned goods make me reliant on them

But Stella is the one that cooks food, not me

Crap… What am I going to do!

I just talked big but have no words to back it up

The phone!

I hope that person has an offline cookbook because that's my only saving grace

I grab the phone and turn it on

Yes!!! There's no password!

I scroll through its applications to see if there's anything to help me

Nothing…

You are reading story Becoming an Oni in This Land of Illusion at novel35.com

I desperately read the messages to see if there's a recipe or a miracle

Nothing…

“Oh… You haven't started yet?”

I see Marisa has finished drying her hair and using the modern clothes that I made for a fun

“what?”

“You look good”

That's an understatement! You look so gorgeous!

“Ehh?!”

“I mean you look very beautiful if that makes sense”

“It is! And what's with you suddenly complimenting me like that?!”

Seeing her red face makes me realize that I made her mad…

“Sorry…”

“You!- *sigh,* whatever I thought you were cooking”

“To tell you the truth…”

----

I'm here at the table, burying my head with my hands while Marisa is cooking the food

“I feel so useless…”

I should've just asked Rinnosuke how to cook

*sighs deeply*

Not knowing to cook is a dis-

What am I thinking… I'm not a pawn anymore, I'm finally free!

But… What do free people do?

Except for Gaming and Sewing, is there nothing else I could do?

Cleaning I guess… Ibaraki likes plundering and raiding villages.

Having a feast, sleeping, and hanging out with Shuten… And violence I guess…

I should've learned to cook when I'm still Sofia

My pride is crumbling by the very inch…

“Ahem~”

I look at Marisa who finished putting down the food and plates on the table

“You are acting kind of odd, did something wrong?”

“Yes…”

“What is it? Maybe I could help”.

I look at her face and now that I could see her entire face crystal clear, she is truly beautiful

Sofia's face isn't as pretty as her

“Can you hear me?!”

“What?”

“There you go again, your mind is wandering around”

“Sorry… I have a lot of things in my mind”.

And I need a psychologist

“*sigh* let's eat first”

“okay”

----

In the middle of eating, I decided to answer the question early on

“I'm acting oddly today because…”

I should learn cooking in secret, so I could have a redemption arc next time

“You are the prettiest person that I've seen”

Since I don't stare at people's faces and my face recognition system as Sofia is barely working

“what-”

She is very red and covering her face with her hand

Though I admit her angry face is very

“cute”

Ohh… She got redder, as expected of another world.

“T-thanks…”

She said it softly while continuing to eat fast that she suddenly stands up leaving an empty plate

“I'm going to take fresh air…”

*Door slams*

Ahh… I tick her off so badly.

Though, it's weird for people to get angry at a praise

--------------------------------------------------------------

Kusa with Sun and Moon looking at the scene is quite speechless while Kusa seemed getting triggered

Kusa: I will make her read hundreds of Romance genres, and she will not be a dense piece of demon

Sun: (that's kind of ironic coming from you)

Moon: (pot calling the kettle black… How shameless)

Sun and Moon put their hand to stop her

Sun: No, just let it continue

Moon: yes, just let it be

Sun/Moon: (you will feel our pain Sooner or later)
