Chapter 24: Chapter 24

I'm currently arranging my threads in this drawer beneath the machine

And I could see that my Cotton and Polyester thread is smaller than others

I mainly use cotton, linen, silk, rayon, nylon, and polyester for my crafts but getting a new type of threads is also a good spider, silk is a bust, unfortunately…

Wait…! Since this is a fantasy world, I could befriend a spider and I could have unlimited silk because they could also make nonstick silk,

'Ibaraki has an evil smile that made anyone that sees it shudders and will not hesitate to pinch her cheeks '

'she started to daydream about what will happen if she managed to befriend a spider yokai'

' a person enters the store without her knowledge and sees a yellow Oni staring at the ceiling with a serious expression'

"excuse me"

'despite her effort to speak towards the Oni, it seemed fruitless'

'she comes forward to poke the Oni's cheeks'

"Hmm?"

Is it Marisa? I look back only to meet an unknown person.

Is it a customer?

"Can I help you?"

"Do you sell magic threads?"

Magic threads are threads that can easily hold enhancements unlike regular ones that fade away easily

What is the magic system of this world? All of them that's why you could do anything as long you have an idea of how to do it.

"Unfortunately no… But I could make them"

"How long does it take to make one ball?"

"Ten seconds"

"Yes? Can you repeat that?"

"Ten seconds"

She looked at me like I am scamming her, but unfortunately I didn't

You can't report me to the authorities if I sell you real ones!

I led her to the storage outside and open a wooden crate to let her show the vast amount of thread that is hidden beneath in it

"you could choose the color of what you need also I've already put labels on them, so you would know what type of materials made them"

Rayon is priced at 200 Mons per 6 Cho
Cotton is 100 mons per 6 Cho

"do you have fabrics?"

"For?"

"Doll making"

That intrigues me I take a thorough look at her

she has blue eyes and a red band on her hair. She wears a light blue dress with long white sleeves and two pink ribbons, one going round her neck and another one around her waist.

Isn't her dress looks like the flag of the UK? Also, a typical girl coming from the UK in Anime is named Alice

"Are you perhaps named Alice?"

She seemed surprised and wary of me

"yes…"

Called it!!!

She is the person that Marisa tells me that controls dolls

"did you come from the wonderland?"

I'm curious because Alice in Wonderland is a common reference

"did Marisa say that?"

"Nope, it's just passed by into my because of how beautiful you are"

She is cuter than a doll to be fair

"I-I see…"

"Here are the threads that I pick"

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

She put the threads that she needed in a basket

Since when did she have a basket? I'll ignore it for my sake,

"do you want me to make them magical?"

She nods, so I gathered mana from my body and release them as water

No, it's not a water element, but it's pure mana

The most accurate analogy is dripping my blood onto the threads hence it will get absorbed to be enchanted

Once I see the water has fully soaked the threads I recalled the excess ones

And I produce heat enough to not burn the threads because it will melt at 200 °C while the water boils at 100 °C hence 150 °C can sure kill a human but can't melt the clothes

"done"

The threads are shining and emitting particles

"how did it become a high-quality thread?!"

"Magic"

She looked at me with a deadpan stare

"but it's true"

"Where could I see the fabrics?"

"Come with me"

-----------

"the total is 7,890 mons"

"Here"

"What is your name?…"

"Ibaraki Douji"

She becomes wide-eyed and looked at me thoroughly

"I see…"

"I wanted to say that…

"Marisa is mine"

She boldly said that to me and I felt weird

I immediately grab a handkerchief to prevent the blood to come out of my nose

"Too much stimulation…"

"Are you okay?"

I guess I've read too many Yuri in my free time when I'm still Sofia

Weird thoughts go away!

"I see… Good luck!"

"I don't need Luck because I will do it"

Alice gets out carrying her stuff as I look down at the counter

While my heart wench in pain as I didn't manage to say it to her face that I loved her

"Stella… I miss you"

As my tears fall, reminiscing the days I sleep within her embrace

Making up scenarios in my mind to stabilize this emotion of mine

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

*booooom*

As I see the municipal hall crumbled before my eyes

The only thing I've felt is emptiness

I grabbed my phone as I scroll down her pictures

Seeing her smile made my will more resolute

"I hope we could be together once again"

I wiped my tears as I ordered the next target

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

"Fine, I'll make them reunite…"

'"You should!!!"'

Jeez… These two gods like shouting it's not like I'm deaf!

But I feel bad seeing Sofia or rather Ibaraki broke down suddenly

I wanted Reimu to hug me when I arrived at the shrine
