[x] "Could you bring me that backpack? Please?
[x] "Alright, take me to that Reimu you speak of."
First thing first. That backpack is a damn important thing if it contains something as potentially dangerous as those perfumes. Also, wallet. Altough, as you already made a mental note earlier, you're not sure if the currency is the same, seeing how outsiders aren't that rare occurence in Gensokyo, there could be a bank or an exchange office somewhere out there. Or is it just wishful thinking?
"Suika," you speak up "Could you... Please bring me that backpack? I had something... important inside."
Suika cocks her head to he side.
"Important? Like what?"
"Very important." you put on a serious expression "Without it, I'd probably die. No, not probably." you shake your head, trying to hold back the laugher "I would most definitely die. So, please."
Silent gasp escapes Suika's lips as she hastily stands up. With a frightened face, she glances down at you with fear in her eyes, then storms out of the room.
"Yes! Sorry! I'll bring it right away!"
After waiting for her steps to fade away, you break in laugher.
"H-here you go..."
Panting heavily, Suika literally flies into the room, throwing the backpack at you. Catching it, you quickly open the middle pocket and glance inside. Suika observes you carefully with excited face. It seems she really believed that little lie of yours... Or was it a lie? Because, if it wasn't for this perfume, who knows what could've happened?
"Whew."
You sigh with relief seeing that the bottle's contents look untouched. But the wallet... Yeah, most definitely, someone was messing with it. There is a banknote sticking out of it, and you ALWAYS make sure to not let that happen. That damned miko...
"I-is it..." Suika asks in shaking voice
"Yes. Thank you, Suika."
She sits back and wipes her forehead with relief.
"Man, you sure gave me a scare there. What is it anyway? That thing which you need to..."
"Oh, I'm sorry," you bow your head in apology "But I'd rather not talk about it."
"Oh..." she looks rather disappointed "I guess if you don't want..."
Awww. She really is dissapointed in such a simple thing! Damn, now that's cute!
But, business is business. It can wait, but eventually, it will come of you instead of vice-versa and... That would be bad. After all, you DO owe Reimu at least an explanation. Of course, the fact that she was messing with your stuff doesn't make you like her more one bit, but still, she IS your host here. And if you want to stay at her house...
"Suika," you speak up again. She nods eagerly with attentive face "Could you take me to that... Reimu?"
"Yes!" she stands up "Follow me! She can be grumpy sometimes, but I have a feeling that you two would get along!"
Following Suika's jumpy steps, you leave the room. Wriggle.... Well, Wriggle is still asleep.
Whoa.
That's all you can think while taking yet another turn and seeing another ridiculously long corridor. This Shrine is HUGE! That means the miko has to have HUGE balls!
... or something.
Anyway, after two or so minutes of walking and listening to Suika's happy humming, she finally stops in front of a pair of sliding doors.
"She's inside," she says, this time a lot quieter "Don't know if she's in good mood, but you better watch your words. One time I tried to tell her a joke and she made me clean all the floors in the shrine!" Suika puts on a mischievous grin, even though the prospect of cleaning ALL these floors seems... troublesome, if not hellish "Anyways, I'm not going to come in with you. Good luck!"
Saying that, she walks away, taking the nearest turn, and disappears from your sight.
A bit reluctantly, you open the door.
"Oh."
In this simple room, with one hilariously short, but at the same time, unnaturally wide table, a lone girl sits on the floor, sipping tea from a weird cup. Seeing you enter, she frowns in rather irritated expression. Wait, what the hell did you do to piss her off? You didn't even get to say anything, and she's already angry?
Muttering something illegibly, she stands up and faces you.
Altough her face is stretched in that unpleasant grimace, you have to say, that despite her unfriendly atmosphere, she is quite attractive. Her long, black hair, emphasized by a ridiculously frilly red ribbon reaches all the way to her knees. Her red-white outfit reminds you of some traditional japanese outfits for religious rites.
But then again, she IS a shrine maiden after all, right?
And of course, those sleeve-things... Without those, she'd look rather pitiful, due to her costume being a bit loose, and her figure being rather small in some places. But with those wide sleeves, she looks bigger than she really is. Guess the designers made it like that on purpose, to give the wearer an aura of authority or superiority.
Too bad it all gets demented by the nakedness of her smooth shoulders and armpits...
"Hello? My face is here?"
Her irritated voice returns you to reality.
[ ] "Well met, Hakurei shrine maiden."
[ ] "Sup."
[ ] "Hello."
[ ] Get straight to business, yell at her for messing with your stuff
[ ] Ask about your stuff in a sneaky way
[ ] Straight to business, ask her what does she want in return for letting you stay here
[ ] Grab her head and make her sniff your shirt
