Hey now! I get it, I've put on a few pounds here and there. We can diet together, if it's bothering you so much.

You should stop hanging with Reimu if you wanna lose weight though, bet you always gotta cook for her broke ass~

That's pretty cool, in a way. I mean I don't really want to see another Oni ever again, but they can really fight.

Must mean you are pretty strong

And here I thought you were just a regular ol tubby hermit~

[She snickered, poking Kasen's tummy]

It's obvious! You knew Suika and Yuugi. How? A mind as smart as me figured it out.

You taught them martial arts!

No no, I've had a lot of customers, but I'm my own boss these days. Eh... don't worry about it. Like you said, if I come in the morning then I won't have to meet with her.

I'll get the job done so you can beat the heat!

Oh right, you are a bartender. I don't often frequent that place, sure you've seen that. I heard you spend a lot of time with one of my old bosses there.. it would get awkward quick.

The warranty will be about 5000 yen, since we wave repair fees.

I'll get to work right away!

Well yes, I'll be handling the instillation, but I don't know if this unit is for a home or a business.

As well, if you are installing this unit in a dangerous location then I would like to recommend you to pay for warranty.

If you do then a kappa will come to repair the unit if it is destroyed.

Obviously. She's been my business partner before, if she were tall we wouldn't look very good standing next to each other, that's the whole reason I worked with her!

((I have no idea why I'm talking in character, let me have fun it's pretty dead here right now))

[She couldn't help but to snicker at how well her joke landed.]

I'll accept payment once the work is done. I pride myself on my quality as the best to ever do it~

That being said. Might I ask you a few questions? Where will the air conditioning unit be installed?

Yeah it's very pretty.

Yeah, I can do both. It'll be done in a few hours. Like I said this is pretty routine, I can make them quick. A mini fan and a water cooled air conditioner unit.

Crunching the numbers I believe that'll be....

10,000,000 yen, plus tax.

[She paused for a moment.]

Kidding.. it'll be like 10'000 yen

[The Kappa would reach out and grab the fan, glancing at it with a smirk.]

Is that all? I've been looking for a challenge lately, but I guess work is work.

Are you looking for something just like that, or something to cool an entire room? Air conditioning, as the humans call it.

Not sure the "Ms." is necessary, That's so detached. We kappa are sworn fri- Bah.. you've probably heard that already from someone else.

Anyways, What are you in the market for? I hafta assume that's why you were looking for me.

[Sitting at a solemn pop-up stand near the village exit was of course the famous inventor Nitori. though one could hardly call her conspicuous. All she had done was take her hat off.. and it was on the table!]

Hey! Over here! Yes you! What you looking for!?

[Inconspicuous indeed]

[Upon taking a closer inspection, the most was taking the ghastly form of an arm, one that she felt wanted to grab her.. and she jumped back in surprise and shocked]

Ahh, S..Sorry bout that miss Kasen, thought I damn near saw a ghost.
Look.. I'm not an expert, but if it's a replacement arm you want

[With fingers that were nearly trembling, the Kappa removed the bandages. They were removed with ease and naturally she was in awe of the mist she saw]

W-wow.. someone was really out to kill you, I haven't seen a wound like this in a long time.. it's incredible that you can still move an arm!

Your arm? That bandaged up arm? I'm not a spirit specialist or a doctor, but maybe if I look into it then a prosthetic might be in my range.

[She spoke with a fair amount of confusion. She placed her hands over the "arm" feeling it out]

What the hell? It's hollow ain't it?

You were searching for a Kappa? Well you've found the best of the best, and yeah.. no kidding, I'd have passed out awhile ago.

Still, I'm here now and I'm all ears. For the right price anyways.

Who are you looking for?

[She said as she was passing by, hands firmly on her backpack.]

Wow... Was that all booze? The hermit lifestyle must be carefree, it takes me back a little to be honest. Aren't you that Hermit who's always hanging around Reimu?
