Chapter 6: Chapter 6

It seemed Marisa also partaken in bounty hunting or yokai extermination

What is Yokai? Well they are those supernatural creatures that have been rumored before from different parts of the world and currently exist in this world

Though it seemed Japanese Folklores are the ones that have a massive impact in this world called Gensokyo

I'm heading towards Kourindou to ask Rinnosuke how the money system works and for job purposes to get money

Though it is supposed to be peaceful I'm currently facing a group of little humanoids called goblins...

Though I'm sure they are from European Folklore and not from Japanese

Because the equivalent of goblin in Japanese folklore is Tengu's which is those bird humanoids

*thwack*

Ibaraki: can't you see I'm doing a monologue right now you bastard?!

-----

The goblin visibly flinched from Ibaraki and she seemed pissed off

In a blink of an eye, blood spurted everywhere as her hands tore the goblins apart like they are made of old rags

-----

Anyway, where was I? Hmm... I forgot well anyway I will go to Rinnosuke

-----

I arrived at his shop I knocked on it

Rinnosuke: come in

I heard it and I let myself in

Ibaraki: sorry for bothering you Rinnosuke

Rinnosuke: ahh... Ibaraki, no problem at all just don't take something without paying like the other two customers I have

Ibaraki: I won't, one of those is probably Marisa

Rinnosuke: yes, can you tell me what you need?

Ibaraki: I want to know the currency that people using now

Rinnosuke: tell me something first Ibaraki

Ibaraki: what is it?

Rinnosuke: you just recently destroyed your seal right?

Ibaraki: h-how did you know...

So it's a seal to prevent Ibaraki to go out I thought she is just dead and I happen to go inside of her

Rinnosuke: you know the legend of Shuten Douji

Shuten Douji?! That name... Why do I feel some pain...

Rinnosuke: ahh... sorry I am carelessly reminding you of what happened

Ahhh... I remember it now

Shuten Douji is the sworn sister of Ibaraki Douji I don't know much about their history but this body thinks differently

Shuten... yes... she has been killed by those bastards poisoning the wine and killed her

Yes... I remember she guided Raikou and the Four Heavey Kings into my fortress just to talk to Sakata Kintoki...

That Shuten... she betrayed me for a man...

That Shuten...

------

Rinnosuke can only helplessly look at Ibaraki whose hair suddenly becomes fire and her body is oozing flames as she laughs uncontrollably

Ibaraki: unforgivable...

But she suddenly stopped and the flames died out as tears comes out of her eyes

Ibaraki: why...?

Ibaraki: why can't hate her? For a man all of my soldiers died, for a man, everybody I know disappear, yet why...

He saw the frightening Oni become like a child so lost and crying like she is very fragile

From what he knew Ibaraki Douji is the sole survivor of the massacre of the Oni on Mount Oe

He could only make tea and prepare sweets for her to calm down

-------

Ahh... I remember how I love her, I love Shuten so much that I ignored my mother's teachings even though I know I have no chance at all... I let the stronghold be destroyed

I should've known... I felt like Sofia and I have similarities

She doesn't hesitate to destroy the one that made her become Sofia

She does it because she knows anyone who escapes from the mafia will be executed that's why for Stella's happiness even though she will die she didn't hesitate to make her have a good life

Though unlike her I let Shuten die... I failed so miserably that I didn't even see her smile

That's why I have no right to be angry...

Because I am weak...

I should forget about Shuten because I who failed don't have the right to speak her name

*tack*

Rinnosuke gives me tea and some sweets though I don't know what kind of sweats this is I quite like the taste

Ah... it's mochi

Rinnosuke: are you okay?

I wiped out the tears on my face

Ibaraki: un... thank you

Rinnosuke: despite being an Oni you are polite

Ibaraki: not at all, if someone gives you kindness repaid it with kindness

Ibaraki: that's the normal way

Rinnosuke seemed surprised by the words I spoke and he smiled

Rinnosuke: that's right

Ibaraki: anyway sorry for making you scared of the fire, I have a blast reminiscing the past you see?

Rinnosuke: did you just?

Ibaraki: who knows...

Ibaraki: well to tell you the truth I just want to know the current currency of the world

Rinnosuke: you see since you were sealed it's been 1013 years have passed

Rinnosuke: also Gensokyo is an area of mountainous region that has no connection to the outside world

Ibaraki: wait... Gensokyo is just an Area, not a country?!

Rinnosuke: yes

Ehhh...???? This is more confusing than I thought

Rinnosuke: for the currency, we go by Mon, I will show you how they look like

Rinnosuke seemed to take something from the counter

He takes a wooden box and a giant bronze plate.

He then places a coin that has a square hole on it

Rinnosuke: this is Mon though the designs are quite different and some of them are made from different materials...

Does he then put two square lego-like metals made out of silver?

Rinnosuke: this is Shu the left one is Ichishuban which is 250 Mon while the left is Nishuban which is 500 Mon

he then takes out gold versions of those metal

Rinnosuke: this is Bu the left is Ichibuban which is 1000 Mon and the left is Nibuban which is worth 2000 Mon

he then put a gold coin that has a similar appearance on the forehead of Meowth in Pokemon

Rinnosuke: this is Ryo which is 4000 Mon, and the last one...

Rinnosuke Put the giant golden plate on the table

Rinnosuke: this is Oban which is 10000 Mon, it's for decorating Purposes because no idiot is walking in the streets with a giant gold plate in their hand

Ibaraki: you are quite rich you know that?

Rinnosuke: of course... just don't let Marisa know

Ibaraki: deal

Ibaraki: anyway could I work here?

Rinnosuke: why?

Ibaraki: you see I want to have money to buy clothes and some necessities so maybe I could part-time here

Rinnosuke: Hmm... very well just talk to Marisa because I don't want to cause a misunderstanding

Ibaraki: un! Thank you!

Rinnosuke: I could give you 2,373 Mon per week

Ibaraki: which is 1 nibuban, 1 ichishuban, and 123 Mon

Rinnosuke: Ibaraki... are you a genius?!

Ibaraki: that's basic Math though...

Rinnosuke:...
