Kourindou won the votes. There's 2:2 after I called the vote, but right before tewi Inaba decided Kourindou as well.

>You pack your lunch and decide to fly your way to Kourindou.
>You leave Lady Yukari sleeping, leaving food for Chen in hope she might come back.
>You fly up beyond trees, as you make your way you pass the Forest of Magic on your left and the Bamboo Forest on your right... It's a little windy spring day but you manage.
>You land near a hut. Above the entrance of the hat is a sign "Welcome to Kourindou". Quite untidy around here for a shop but you ain't the owner.

-10% Magic power level. Current Magic Power: 90%/100%

>You enter the weird shop. As you open the door, a bell rings from somewhere.
>The shop is filled with many items, contraptions, devices you can't even imagine how would work.
>the counter is on your left, there sits the master of this domain: Rinnosuke Kourin. He just let his eyes of a strange big thing that's enlightening his face, as you see. You aren't sure what that box-like thing does but he seems to use it often. "Welcome to Kourindou" he says with a smile.
>in front of you though there's a little bird youkai girl. Her red and white wings move slightly as she chirps while sorting out some books on shelves. ~~a delicious sight indeed~~

>You cut the talk "Yea, I didn't come here shopping" you say. Rinnosuke raises an eyebrow and gets up from his chair.

>greet him, and inquire about Chen

>You greet him after cutting the talk. "Let's go on the back" he says and instructs you to go with him behind a curtain, behind the counter, to the backs of Kourindou.
>Tokiko continues to sort books, but she stopped chirping and she looks rather frightened and nervous.

>Rinnosuke places two chairs opposite to each other, sits on one and shows you the other one.

>You are aware that this man offers free tea for Yukari and yourself. Also he gives free presents to Chen. He seems like a gentle guy. Yukari supplies him with a whole lot of things she makes you pick up at the Gensokyo border that magically appear there.
>He visits to pick up stuff in Yukari's permission too.
>He pays. But it all rather grew into a friendship between him and your Mistress.
>He seems like one of the few people you believe can be trusted.
>List of people Yukari trusted: Rinnosuke, Yuyuko. That's it.

>He sighs "Yukari did something again, didn't she?"

>"Hm... Yukari didn't wake up? She loves to oversleep so... Chen? Hmm..." Rinnosuke scratches his head, he tries to think about it a while
>"Well, I don't know about her friends, but wait..." He gets up a little and yells "Tokiko!"
>The cute little bird youkai flies to the room you're in "Yes, Rinnosuke-sama?" she still looks a little nervous
>"Have you seen Chen these past few weeks when I wasn't around?" he asks
>She lands on the ground and starts to think as well. She looks just like him, they're so alike!
>"Well.... no, she wasn't here in Kourindou. But I did see her once... About a week ago. She was playing around with some fairies in the Forest of Magic"

>You wonder if Tokiko's a shikigami for a while, which would make Rinnosuke quite a magician.
>"Well, uh..." She scratches her head. Like a Rinnosuke copycat. "It was near a lake somewhere... Oh, I don't remember how to get there. it was a lake, that's all I remember" She looks saddened as if she let down you and the shop keeper.

You aren't interested in economic details but you see many devices that have quite different functions, as well as magical things. It doesn't seem like he supplies in one particular type of items at all. Like it's a all-in-one shop.
