Becoming an Oni in this land of illusion

Chapter 11

It seemed Reimu has come back from who knows where

Reimu: I'm back, hey Ibaraki can I have this Yukata?

Ibaraki: as long you could pay for it

Reimu: how much is it?

Ibaraki: I don't know, I don't put pricing on it nor do I care how much its market value

Ibaraki: but the materials are from Rinnosuke so you might ask him

Nice one Ibaraki, you are going to be the employee of the month

Rinnosuke: well if you want it the price will be the-

Reimu: ohh? If it isn't Marisa. What are you doing in a place like this?

Marisa: that's my line. I just came here for Ibaraki and some stuff like a normal customer

Rinnosuke: Reimu, this is a store. Could you not call it "a place like this"

Reimu: But whenever I come, I never see any customers. The location isn't so great either.

Rinnosuke: any way about the price-

Marisa: I just said I am a customer

Reimu walked up to one of the cupboards, took out a teapot, and began preparing tea as if she owned the place. They do whatever they want as usual. They're not even customers.

Rinossuke: let's talk about the compensation for the fixed clothes and possibly the new clothes you are going to buy

Reimu: I thought this is free?

Ibaraki: if things are free not many humans die every day

Reimu just stays silent and thinks hard, I doubt there's something inside of her head

Reimu: well you never take cash

Rinnosuke: What're you saying? The fees for all your requests and everything you took from here are all on your tab.

As she pours tea on her teacup

Reimu: that's because I never walk around with money. But it's not like there's any at home either.

Ibaraki: that's normal after all the shrine is far away from the village and the path is full of yokai

Ibaraki: that's why I'm more surprised if you have money at all

Ibaraki that's way too blunt

Reimu seemed gotten shot and can't retaliate to what Ibaraki said

So Reimu looked at me

Reimu: you're after these books aren't you?

Reimu placed her teacup down, sat beside me, and began gathering the books that were soon to be mine.

Rinnosuke: ...Reimu, those books aren't enough to cover your tab

Reimu: I took this from a Yokai I'm sure this is worth something

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

I forgot Rinnosuke is a Businessman

It's very clear that he wants the books but he keeps beating the bush

Though it's true because in normal circumstances a second-hand book sells lesser than a newly created one

And no old books aren't worth a lot if the author of the book isn't famous

From what I see that book is about computers and stuff that is practically worthless in the current era...

But you might get a hefty price if you sell it to the Kappa's
