> Head inside and browse if we aren't instantly accosted by the conversationalists.
>You decide to enter in search of interesting books,and see a group of what seems to be four people at the far end of the shop discussing something, though only three are obvious to you at the moment. You assume that the fourth is either hidden from view by the other three, or that she's somewhere out of sight from your current position.
>You note that the woman from earlier is indeed one of the people here, along with a blonde-haired girl in an outfit that looks a lot like the sort of thing a witch from those books you've read would wear. In addition to that peculiar sight, another brown-haired individual is present. This one is a younger individual clad in red and white clothing that calls to mind the traditional garb of shrine maidens who appears to be around the same age as the blonde girl. You think either Yukari or Ran had mentioned this one in the past, Reimu was it?
>That must mean that the blonde is Marisa then, seeing as when an Incident's afoot, they're usually both on the case according to Yukari. You wonder what Gensokyo's Top Problem Solvers would be doing here in a little shop like this?
>That said, you don't seem to have gone entirely noticed by them just yet. Or if they have, they aren't paying you any mind. so you opt to browse around the numerous shelves of tomes and scrolls for interesting books. Let's see here....'Booze and You, by Ibuki S.', 'Cat's-Cradle Made Easy(And Home-Remedies for the Common Cold and other Illnesses), by Kurodani Y.', 'Tengu, and why you'll Never be as Fast as one, by Shameimaru A.', "Spirit Photography and You, by Himekaidou H.', 'Jewelcrafting; A History, by Kirisame J.', 'It's not Stealing: it's Borrowing Until I Die, by Kirisame M.' 'Why I'm never mixing Bleach, Moonshine, and Roofing Tar again, by Yamazaki K.', 'A Tourist's Guide to the Ancient City(And tips on who to pick a fight with), by Hoshiguma Y.', 'Advanced Nuclear Physics; And How it makes my Brain all Hurty, by Reiuji U.', "How to Profit from Traffic Accidents, by Kaenbyou R.', 'On the Care and Feeding of your Raijuu, by Ibara K.', 'Food and You: A Ghost's Guide to Gensokyo's Food, by Saigyouji Y.', 'Maintaining both Your Sword and Yourself, by Konpaku Y.' ...Did Youmu write that last one? You don't think it was her...
>...Wow, most of these books were written by Youkai it seems! This must be what that woman meant these books being appealing to you!
>Further browsing not only leads you closer to the other people here, but also uncovers an intriguing book titled 'The Netherworld Cookbook, by Mr. Champloo'. Pulling it off the shelf reveals that, as the name implies, it is indeed a cookbook. The cover seems to have the image of a determined-yet-excited looking man in a outfit that looks a lot like a sushi chef's uniform, albeit in black-and-red. You assume that this must be the author. He looks like he's about ready to launch into a bombastic and over-the-top speech about cooking or something, just look at those manly-looking sideburns! If any of these books appeal to you so far, it's this one. You should remember to ask about how much it is, you bet there's loads of new recipes you haven't even heard of in it!
>...It couldn't hurt to take a peek right now, could it? Cracking open the book, you note that nothing bizarre happens, and it's apparently a perfectly ordinary cookbook. Though you do see a few recipes that might be interesting to try when it's your turn to cook. You think that you should probably buy this one, it might come in handy on your next visit to Hakugyoukurou! And maybe you can ask Youmu about that other book too.
