Vendor Quest! Gensokyo's New Shopkeeper!

[Kaisou]

This is a bit too..how do you say it..rude, shopkeepers have to be polite.

Do this instead.

> "I am willing to pay for your service of course, whether through paying you with money, or a service of my own"

Ah, you're right. They do have to be polite.

You have 8 gold pieces currently.

"What? I'm offended. I'm an honorable shrine maiden and I can't be bribed like that."

You throw 1 gold piece in the donation box.

"Where is she?"

And she says she can't be bribed.
>"She's over there." *points to fairy*

[Hanged Hourai]

Ah, you're right. They do have to be polite.And she says she can't be bribed.
>"She's over there." *points to fairy*

You point her over in the right direction and set off with Reimu to find the fairy.
Upon arriving, you find her sitting in the same spot looking melancholy.
"Hi! Is this person able to help me get rid of that youkai?"

Reimu, "Yup, I'll get rid of it for you."
Fairy, "Thanks! Follow me and I'll show you where it is."

She leads the way to a very large tree with a door cut into the trunk.
"It's in here, but the door won't budge."

[Hello Purvis]

>Have a look at the area.
>"So, what does this youkai look like, anyway?"

[Hanged Hourai]

>Have a look at the area.
>"So, what does this youkai look like, anyway?"

The tree stands in the middle of a large clearing. Off to the side, you notice a cliff with a cave.
New area discovered!
Cliff cave- unexplored
You'll explore that later.

The fairy says, "I don't know, I've heard how this tree was available after my home burned down, so I came only to find the door shut. I have heard crashing noises from inside with some yells though."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Are you sure the youkai doesn't just live there?"

[Hanged Hourai]

>"Are you sure the youkai doesn't just live there?"

"Eh? I'm pretty sure."

[Hello Purvis]

>Glance at Reimu. "Should we knock?"

[Hanged Hourai]

>Glance at Reimu. "Should we knock?"

Reimu knocks on the door to no avail. Crashes can be heard from inside.
"Well that didn't work very well."

She holds up her homing amulets and blasts the door in.

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>After the blast I stay a little behind Reimu and see what happens next

[IBakaChan]

Considering that danmaku can get pretty damn wild...

> Tell the fairy to either wait outside or stay behind you.

[Hanged Hourai]

>After the blast I stay a little behind Reimu and see what happens next

Considering that danmaku can get pretty damn wild...

> Tell the fairy to either wait outside or stay behind you.

Sticking close to Reimu, you tell the fairy to stay outside in case things get too wild.
You enter the tree and look around. Inside is a main foyer area with 3 rooms going off to the side. You notice a metal stove off in the corner.
In the shadows above you, something moving has caught your eye.

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>"What's that?" I get Reimu's attention by pointing at the moving object.

[Hanged Hourai]

>"What's that?" I get Reimu's attention by pointing at the moving object.

"Eh? I'll take care of this youkai."
She throws a few needles at it and the object falls down to the ground and starts groaning.

[Hello Purvis]

>Examine the groaning object?

[Hanged Hourai]

>Examine the groaning object?

You walk closer to it, and upon examination you find it to be none other than....
Wriggle?

Reimu slaps her awake and asks her what she's doing there.

"Huh? How'd you get in? I came in here to explore and the door closed behind me and the handle fell off. What!? It's open? Thank you thank you!"
She flies out with an expression of freedom on her face.

The fairy walks in and thanks you graciously for helping her even if it was only Wriggle.

Reimu goes back to the shrine and leaves you two alone.

"Wow, this place is bigger than I thought. I'm not gonna be able to take up all this space by myself."

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>"Hey, maybe there's a  chance I could move in? I'd really appreciate if I could, my dear fairy".

<off topic> lol, Let's really name her Tear <offtop off>

[Hanged Hourai]

>"Hey, maybe there's a  chance I could move in? I'd really appreciate if I could, my dear fairy".

<off topic> lol, Let's really name her Tear <offtop off>

"Huh? Sure, I'm not gonna be able to take up this much space. You could use this for your vendor business huh? I guess we should get to know each other. Hi, I'm Mistydew Tear. Isn't there something you have to get back to right now involving that witch?"

[Kasu]

> "Ah!  Thanks for reminding me!"
> Head back to Marisa's.

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

As you seem not know, Hanged Hourai, tear is the name of a fairy from a game called Recettear, where a little girl opens an item shop to pay of her father's dept. Very cute, constructive and nicely made indy game.

Oh,carry on with the game, it's fun.

[Hanged Hourai]

> "Ah!  Thanks for reminding me!"
> Head back to Marisa's.

You hurry over over to Marisa's house and knock on the door. She answers,
"Ah, you gave it back? Well, as promised, here's your new cart! Huh, the frying pan? Heh, I kinda threw it at some firefly youkai who flew by and kept shouting, 'I'm free!' This'll still do won't it, ze?"

[Kasu]

> "This is might actually be better.  Thanks!"
> Head back to our tent and pack it up.  We're movin' into the new place.

[Hanged Hourai]

> "This is might actually be better.  Thanks!"
> Head back to our tent and pack it up.  We're movin' into the new place.

You accept the cart and head over to your tent, load it in, and then head to the new tree house.
When you get there, you see Tear settling in.
After a long day, you decide it best to set up your bedroom in one of the rooms and sleep.

[Hello Purvis]

>Set up and sleep.
>Whilst drifting off, consider what is nearby. That's gonna be our main customer base.

[Hanged Hourai]

>Set up and sleep.
>Whilst drifting off, consider what is nearby. That's gonna be our main customer base.

You go to sleep and decide to ask Tear if there is an area with some people nearby in the morning.

Next day,

-5 gold for cost of food or -3 and eat the berries?

[Hello Purvis]

>Eat the berries.
>And make inquires with Taer.

[Hanged Hourai]

>Eat the berries.
>And make inquires with Taer.

You eat the berries.
-3 gold

You walk out of your room and see Tear sweeping. You ask if there are any populated places around.
"Oh yeah, I heard about some mansion near a lake a kinda near here. Here are some directions."
She draws up a map to the mansion.

New area!
Mansion- unexplored

[Hello Purvis]

>Consider the map, then asks, "Anything else? These people are going to be our main customers, if ti all goes according to plan."

[Hanged Hourai]

>Consider the map, then asks, "Anything else? These people are going to be our main customers, if ti all goes according to plan."

"While you were sleeping, I went out. I hope you don't mind, but I like collecting stuff as a hobby. I bring back the things I find here. I'm not really attached to any of it so feel free to sell anything I find. Everyday, I'll bring back some stuff. I guess we make a pretty good team don't we?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"So it seems. I'll be interested to see what you find!"
>Once breakfast times are through, go investigate this mansion.

[Hanged Hourai]

>"So it seems. I'll be interested to see what you find!"
>Once breakfast times are through, go investigate this mansion.

You head over to the mansion after breakfast.
Upon arriving, you see a gate guard dressed in green standing at the entrance.
