First of all, this is a weird mission about a weird demon, but what's weirder is that Shinazugawa was being kind of nice to me.
Eh? How come? Or maybe I am just being too positive about this.
"Can you walk any slower? You can gawk at the town later, I do not have time for your little sight-seeing for fuck's sake." He barked, while we were on the lookout for a clothing store that could rent us clothes for our disguise and I got a little too distracted watching the lanterns lit around the town. I mean can you blame me, I rarely get to see other towns besides the missions, might as well enjoy it while I'm there.
Well, I spoke too soon, he is still as rude as ever, good to know some things never change. sigh
"God." I scoffed, frown clearly visible on my face.
"What?" He asked.
"Nothing."
"You are so annoying."
"Piss off."
"I wish." He keeps getting on my nerves. This reminds of that day we met for the first time. Mister was always 'spicy pants'.
{FLASHBACK:}
I survived the final selection, it wasn't as bad for me, but most of the people who participated in the beginning weren't here, mostly, definitely, dead.
There was this one guy though, white hair, scars around his face, looking angry and he yelled at one other boy who tried talking to him.
I don't like him.
Final survivors had to select ore for our blades, and so we did.
I had finished selecting mine and turned around to walk back and bumped into the same white hair boy again.
"Watch where you are going lady." I didn't like his tone. I apologized and he ignored, pushed past me and muttered "for fuck's sake".
I was raging at this point, but I ignored it and left the mountain.
{End of flashback.}
I snap out of my thoughts about that day and get back to looking for a clothing store, I want to be done with this mission as soon as possible.
And, god's grace, just after a few more minutes of searching I spotted a clothing store.
"Shinazugawa, look." I pointed towards the store and he simply nodded.
We went into the store, and were greeted by a middle aged woman and a young boy, who just smiled.
"Welcome, what can I help you with?" She was really sweet.
"Oh, I don't know, maybe let us rent some clothes?" He replied with an annoyed tone. Lame.
I looked at him with a threatening smile and turned back to the kind woman, who now looked a little confused and embarrassed. Can this man just shut the fuck up.
"Don't mind him, can we rent any clothes for the night?"
"Sure miss, this way."
I looked around the women's side of clothes and Shinazugawa obviously disappeared around the men's side, along with the boy. After like five minutes of looking around, I found a pretty pink kimono that resembled cherry blossoms. It was too pretty and I wouldn't get another chance of wearing such a pretty kimono again.
I go to the lady and let her know that this is the one I'm renting and pay her the required amount. It was a little pricey but whatever, it's worth it.
"The man that was with you, got his kimono just now and he went to change." She smiled, while arranging the cash in a wooden box.
"Okay." That was the only thing I replied.
I went ahead into the changing room, and oh god, putting the kimono on wasn't an easy task. I was struggling to put it on and I heard a faint knock on the door.
"Miss, do you need some help putting it on?" The same lady asked, probably assuming that I was struggling and taking too much time.
"Yes, please, I am struggling to put it on."
"I'd gladly help you, let me in once you are comfortable."
I let her in immediately and she helped me put it on, the kimono was pretty comfortable. She even took some time and put a hair pin in my hair.
"You look very beautiful, miss, the kimono compliments you really well." She said in a happy tone, giving me a smile.
I did look pretty good, and I was pretty happy considering, I don't really get much time dressing up. The lady bows one time and exits the room and I take one last look in the mirror and leave the room as well.
Shinazugawa was already waiting near the entrance, he took notice of me walking towards him and he stood up straight. Might I add, he looked a bit surprised? And suddenly in a split second, his face turned into his usual anger frown. Wait, was I just imagining him being surprised? Eh, it doesn't matter.
I said goodbye to the lady and the young boy; and we started to walk out of the store.
"You look horrendous." He says, looking at me. "The hair pin makes you look even worse."
"Well, I didn't ask for your opinion mister, so stop looking at me asshole." This man knows how to piss me off, but doesn't matter, I know I look good.
He smirked and shifted his gaze to the road ahead
We started walking towards the other side of the town.
