>"Ah, right. Right."
>Move at a gait between a walk and a sprint to Hanako.
>"Good luck in there!"
>"I'm going to stand guard outside, nothing personal, just- y'know, it's my vocation."
>"We're staying with her. Who knows what's around, two more bodies are always good from my perspective" Ame, Worm and Apple are not coming with you. That's a shame.
>You head to Hanako at a reasonable pace, who's currently at the front door to the shop.
>"Ah, finally decided to join me? Let's go."
>With that, Hanako knocks on the door and you both walk into the shop.
>When you walk into the shop you find the most disordered mess you could imagine. Not that you have experience in ordering things, you don't even have a building for a house, but even
you can tell this is bad.
>Among the mess you see some miscellaneous plants and flora, most of them mushrooms or fungi of some kind; a lot of books, almost all of them on some sector of magic that you aren't knowledgeable enough to comment on; and furniture, from many different sets and who-knows-where. All of this paraphernalia makes you wonder:
What does she actually sell here?>"Ah! I'm comin'!" A sprightly voice calls from the back.
>"I know the place looks like a mess, and I thought it was too when I first came here, but if you look closely you can see that the different products are separated into their own stacks. Her real problem is that despite her inventory, she doesn't have any shelves, or maybe she does and never uses them." How often does Hanako come to this shop?! And that still doesn't answer the question of what exactly she sells.
>Try to give our best impression we're meeting with the equivalent of a living legend!
>You try to pull yourself together. Despite her... eccentricities, she's a legend, an Incident Resolver! Sure, she's also most likely a hoarder, judging from this organized mess, but we all have flaws! I-it just makes her more relatable and human! Wait, you're a Youkai,
you can't relate! A-
>"Hello, my esteemed guests!" A confident voice interrupts your thoughts before you crack. Honestly, just hearing it makes you excited!
>You look at the owner of the voice. And see a short young woman with blonde hair and yellow eyes. She's wearing a white frilled apron with a black vest and skirt, by far the most notable part of her outfit is a pointy hat with a bent top. All of this together just
screams Witch, all she's missing is a flying broomstick. This must be that
Kirisame.>"Sorry for making ya wait for a bit. Had some business in the back." ...Is that bubbling you hear back there?
>"Do not worry Miss Kirisame, I know better than to make you rush your work." Hanako speaks with an air of familiarity.
>"Of course, you're one of the few customers crazy enough to come all the way here. I see you brought-" Her eyes stop on you. D-do you have something on your face?!
>"Huh, not many youkai come here. Let alone with company strapped on their back." She saw right through your disguise! Is it because you have Kaze on your back? No, that can't be, other Humans can defeat Youkai, right?
>"Anyway, you want anything? Potions, plants, books, Magic, Sage Advice, I do a lot around here." You are never going to know what she specializes in, are you?
>_?
