You examine the tank.

Its a pretty sweet tank.

You make a note you need to get on that pollution thing, jeez, how long has the underground been backed up anyway?

You also may want to visit yuyuko and youmu.

> Head inside Kourindou.

[Chaore]

> Head inside Kourindou.
> Hope that Rinnosuke isn't as crazy as Marisa.

\

You head inside, hoping Rinnosuke is still in a good state of mind.

"Hello!" Seems its pointless anyway, as someone else is at the counter currently.

You're not quite sure who this is, but she appears to be a sort of bird youkai. Shes wearing a dress with a similar pattern to Rinnosuke's, which you can only guess is a uniform of sorts. She also appears to have a book with her that shes closing.

You wonder if that is just something Rinnosuke had laying around, or one she owns.

[Kasu]

> "Er... Is Rinnosuke in?"

[Chaore]

> "Er... Is Rinnosuke in?"

"Not at the moment, hes probably out hunting for more things to stock. I'm in charge at the moment."

[Kasu]

> "I see... May I stick around until he comes back?"
> "Also, may I have your name?"
> Fast-forward to Rinnosuke's return.

[Chaore]

> "I see... May I stick around until he comes back?"
> "Also, may I have your name?"
> Fast-forward to Rinnosuke's return.

"Maybe, But I don't think you'll want to spend all that time. He spends a -lot- of time there. If you want something, I can probably help you. Err? My name? Just call me Tokiko."

[Kasu]

> "Well Tokiko, could you maybe point me in his direction?  I'd like to discuss some important matters with him."

[Chaore]

> "Well Tokiko, could you maybe point me in his direction?  I'd like to discuss some important matters with him."

"Err... Not really, He just kind of disappears off the face of the earth for a while. Its really odd. Do you need to talk with him about it?"

[Kasu]

"Err... Not really, He just kind of disappears off the face of the earth for a while. Its really odd. Do you need to talk with him about it?"

> "If thats the case, I'll try back later..."
> Ask about the tank.
> Leave Kourindou and head for where we left Wriggle and Co.
> LOOK. OUT. FOR. MARISA.

[Hello Purvis]

>STOP CHEN.
>"Oh. Well, um, could you tell me about yourself? I didn't know he had any friends."

[Chaore]

> "If thats the case, I'll try back later..."
> Ask about the tank.
> Leave Kourindou and head for where we left Wriggle and Co.
> LOOK. OUT. FOR. MARISA.

"Well, If you insist..."

You ask about the tank. "Oh? That old thing? Kourin just happens to like keeping it outside."

You hea-

>STOP CHEN.
>"Oh. Well, um, could you tell me about yourself? I didn't know he had any friends."

You instead opt to stay here and ask Tokiko about herself.

"Eh? Oh, he does have a few favorite customers, but he still is incredibly formal, so he really doesn't. I just work here, in return people know not to kill me because they'll get a tank to the face."

The thought that Rinnosuke has another one of those frightens you. The thought he may actually just pick it up and hit someone with it is even more frightening.

[Kasu]

> "I-I see..."
> "When did you start working here?"

[Hello Purvis]

>Contemplate the viability of seeking refuge from HER with Rinnosuke.
>Have that hope dashed when the bond of shikigami is recalled
>Check the stock.

[Chaore]

> "I-I see..."
> "When did you start working here?"

"Oh? Well, A year or four ago, I think."

>Contemplate the viability of seeking refuge from HER with Rinnosuke.
>Have that hope dashed when the bond of shikigami is recalled
>Check the stock.

Rinnosuke might be able to use mad bartering skills to buy you off her for a cup of tea.

Then again working with him may not be the best time in the world...

>Kourindou Currently has in Stock:
>Seperation Knife
>Fancy Dress
>Hairband of Amater
>Red-Glass Mirror
>Length Band
>Familiar Amethyst
>Large Steak
>The Impossible Cookalizer
>Shamwow
>Labyrinth Pack
>How to Play Mafia by Tewi Inaba

You're sure the stock'll get only larger with time.

[Hello Purvis]

>Examine items. In particular, the amethyst. Pick it up if possible and Tokiko doesn't smack us.

[Chaore]

>Examine items. In particular, the amethyst. Pick it up if possible and Tokiko doesn't smack us.

You examine everything with the keen instincts of a kitty.

>Seperation Knife
A knife with a typo in it's name, its a magically treated knife imbued with the specific power to 'Seperate'. You think you'll only get one use out of it, so you'd probably have to use it well.
>Fancy Dress
Its a pretty nice dress, you think it's like the kind Meiling used to wear. Its too big for you.
>Hairband of Amater
A tragic hairband that is just a bunch of letters from belonging to a wolf goddess.
>Red-Glass Mirror
A mirror completely turned red. It's not a good reflection for color, but good for just reflecting. It's handle is made of red-glass, hence the name.
>Length Band
Its a band that goes to any length, so long as you can reach it.
>Familiar Amethyst [CONTRACT]
Its an amethyst cut into a carrot shape, you're pretty sure there is a contract in it.
>Large Steak
Its a really large steak.
>The Impossible Cookalizer
Able to cook anything, even to a temperature god can not eat.
>Shamwow
Some towel, What up with this?
>Labyrinth Pack
Not an actual item, but a random pick of three items Rinnosuke salvaged from that one labyrinth.
>How to Play Mafia by Tewi Inaba
A guide on the game Mafia, it'll tell you how to get lynched every game with no doubt.

[Hello Purvis]

>Can we determine what the contract within the amethyst is with? Or would it have to be invoked to find out?

[Chaore]

>Can we determine what the contract within the amethyst is with? Or would it have to be invoked to find out?

You'd have to invoke it, You may be able to work with them, but unlike specialists like Demon, you can't outright read the contract. You're pretty sure that'd have Tokiko in a fit.

[Fightest]

> Oh, hey now, there's an easy plot token.
> "What's that Seperation Knife worth?"

Don't you mean Amaterasu instead of Ameter?

> "Excuse me, but does the band have any abilities?" (like lengething day time or summoning the sun goddess herself)
> The knife and mirror look like just the things to complete two of our quests. It might be a bit expensive though. And we could always Nyamune as a mirror, assuming Nyamune has a reflective surface.
> "Also, is there anything special about the towel? One of my late master's books said they were omnifunctional, but that story got quite absurd at times.... Something about hitchiking...."

[Chaore]

> Oh, hey now, there's an easy plot token.
> "What's that Seperation Knife worth?"

You think you may just know a good use for that knife... You ask what its worth.

"The knife? Its worth around 5 or so CREDITS, being apparently magical and pretty strong. Kind of a ripoff if you ask me, given the uses for a knife like that, but hey, boss' prices."

> What the fuck is this shit?! Where's How to Claim Doc and Win by Alice Margatroid?

You figure it was probably bought out. Or well, never written.

Don't you mean Amaterasu instead of Ameter?

>That is the joke. A, S, and U off from being that kind of headband.

"Nope. Its pretty useless actually."

Nyamune is reflective, You're not sure if you could get a good view while trying to cut your hair though... And its a pretty heavy sword, it'll be tough to keep it steady one-handed.

"Its apparently a really really good towel. That is... about everything, really."

You recall Kourindou's CREDIT system. Its generally a system that obviously favors Kourin, but is overall of good use. A CREDIT is a sort of in-store currency, you don't physically own it, but its on record here. You typically get CREDITS from trading in items, or getting it from other people's accounts via gift. You could theoritically use this system to just trade through items in stock here- But of course, catches come up. For one, Used items tend to be worth less than Newer ones. While the Seperation Knife is worth 5 credits unused, once used its pretty much either going to break or become a normal knife. This'll put it down to one or no credit worth. You think he came up with this a year or two ago, its hard to tell.

That said, you ask Tokiko to take a check at your current Credit account.

"You currently have...30 Credits? Wow. I've never seen you here often, didn't think you traded this much in."

Neither did you. Suspicious, but useful.

[Pesco]

> Buy almost everything

[Chaore]

> Buy almost everything

You don't think 30 Credits is worth THAT much.

Hell, if the Amethyst wouldn't cost you an arm and a leg, You'd be surprised, not to mention that INCREDIBLE COOKALIZER.

[OkashiiKisei]

> Let's make priorities. Some of the things are obviously junk, and though that INCREDIBLE COOKALIZER sounds amazing, it probably won't be of much use for us (except if it functioned like the Hakkero, which originally was just a normal heater/furnace, and we could use it to finish off HER. Just put it on her head and set it to max!). The knife, lenghth band, mirror and ametyst are the most important, with the former three as quest solvers (length band can be used for the pit quest) and the last one as a new ally.
> Ask for the prices of the ametyst, mirror and length band. If the mirror and length band are also cheap, try and buy those along with the knife.

You ask about the Amethyst, Mirror, and Length band.

"The mirror is pretty fancy, So its worth 2 Credits. The length band is magic, so its worth 3, And the Amethyst costs well... 15 Credits."

Yeowch. An arm and a leg indeed. Actually, You could probably only get 5 per arm and leg...

[OkashiiKisei]

> Well, since 15 + 5 + 2 + 3 = 25, we just manage to make it within the 30 credit budget. Although, we have to trade something in for everything, right? We could miss the box and such, but your clothes, the familiar tablet and Nyamune are pretty important. Frog pin and broken sword have their uses too. What must we give?

You don't need to trade since you have credits on account, but you CAN trade things in for more credits.
