Chapter 20: Chapter 20

I'm standing here in front of the mirror looking at my silhouette

My transformation reminded me of those magical girls but without the chants

Maybe because I clad myself in mana or my whole body is made out of mana that I shined brightly and my appearance suddenly changes

I have become a human and I added a bit of my height

I lost my horns and my tattoos while I retain the color of my hair I changed the color of my eyes from gold to green

I grabbed a red hair tie to tie my hair into a ponytail and grabbed the clothes that I've made using Marisa's and Reimu's clothes as an inspiration

“hmm… I can't gauge if it looks alright on me”.

Despite that, I like to sew I don't have a thing for fashion

The majority of the time I use it to create things I want and for cosplay that I didn't even wear

Well introductory to the person I've mimicked is the one and only Mordred from FGD which is the person from the Arthurian Legends

Who killed their father because they didn't accept her as a son of some sort and the next heir to the throne

“Marisa, can I use your spare shoes?”

I make my voice loud enough for her to hear me from the outside

“Sure!”

“Thanks!”

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

I have successfully asked her out on a date!

I'm quite worried she will turn me down…

But thankfully she agreed

Hopefully, I could get an idea of how to help her from our date

“Marisa, how do I look?”

“So… Beautiful…”

“Is that so?”

“Yup! You are very pretty!”

And cute

“Then hop in!”

“Riding a broom, huh… That's the first time I will experience it”.

“Hehehe~ hold on tight, okay?”

“Of course”

-------

I underestimate how difficult it is to not blush when someone that you are interested in is holding your waist

You can't help but be conscious of how you feel their skin, despite being separated by clothing

Despite the wind hitting my face, I could smell her scent, which muddles my mind a little bit…

“Marisa, are you okay?”

I flinched at her sudden talk that it made the ride quite bumpy as I felt her hug becoming tighter that didn't help my situation at all

“yeah…”

“Your ears are quite red, are you sure you are not sick?”

It made me more embarrassed that she pointed it out

“It becomes redder, it's quite fascinating”

I didn't hesitate any more and fly at full speed

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

Seriously?! Why does Marisa fly it so fast?!

I have motion sickness because of it…

“I'm sorry”

“I hope you will warn me about it next time”

“Yes… I'm very sorry”.

That's kind of odd coming from Marisa, but I will ignore it

The feeling of wanting to throw up and sleep just makes me uncomfortable

“let's go inside”

“Don't you want to rest?”

“Let's just walk, resting makes me feel sleepy”

---

It's quite nice actually… But I have a feeling this is just a facade,

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

Let's see based on the clothing of the people they dress, mainly Yukata's

I see some males using Jinbei which is clothing from the Sengoku period which is 1467 to 1615

It reminded me of a patient outfit to be honest

“Ibaraki, let's try that”

She pointed out the stall that is selling some meat on a stick… Ah! Chicken skewer.

“Okay”

We come close to the stall while we are still holding hands

People are looking at us because they saw a new face or something

“Can we have 10 pieces of it?”

“Okay!”

The vendor has red eyes and ankle-length white hair. She wears a light brown shirt that appears as if it's been discolored from fire, and dark red sashinuki hakama that are randomly decorated with paper charms. Her hair's tied with these same red and white paper charms. The paper talismans on the hakama and hair ribbons. Her shirt, which lacks such talismans, appears to have been burnt repeatedly, while the ribbons and hakama show no such wear.

This girl probably has the power of fire due to the evidence that she is still standing here despite the obvious traces of being burnt

She is probably another key figure in this world since she had colored hair despite the villagers being black hair

“here you go”

I grabbed the skewers

“thank you”

“Hmm…? This is the first time I saw you”.

“Are you new here?”

I feed Marisa one of the skewers, making her distracted while I answer the question

“yeah, though I'm living with her”

“With the troublemaker?”

“What can I say, I am also a troublemaker myself”

I jokingly said it while she snickers at my phrase

“names Mokou, what's yours?”

“Mordred”

“just be careful towards youkai's”

“I get it, bye”

I guide Marisa towards the road to start observing the crowds

“Ibaraki… What did you two talk about?”

“Just normal stuff like 'you are suspicious individual interrogations'”

“Do you want to buy stuff for the house?”

“Sure, let's go shopping together”

----

Marisa is quite an expert at judging the quality of the vegetables because they looked almost the same to me except for the bad ones

“Marisa, how did you know to pick the good ones from the bad ones?”

“From experience”

From what?

Did you just eat everything that you learned how to discern by eye?

Or is it instinct because you ate a bad one and your survival instinct just kicked in when you pick the wrong one?

Well, to say the least, the marketplace isn't that bad

Though I see some yokai interact with humans the human acts respectfully, but it's a lie because it's out of fear

I think the yokai won't cause trouble in the village because there are probably people that will exterminate them if they do

Like Marisa and Reimu

The number of Yokai's can easily outnumber the number of Humans

“We have bought everything we need so we could go home”

“Alright”

As long, I make year 19th-century clothes, I could easily make into profit

But I need to improve the designs a bit…

Marisa seemed a bit down, is it because I don't talk to her that much?

“How about we deliver these to the home and go to a place that has beautiful scenery, so we could relax”

“Then We should make some lunch and dessert!”

She becomes happy, I guess my intuition just hit dead center there…
