Consider the idea of giving first-time customers to our stand a discount. It might raise business. Also consider advertising in the temple.

>"Wow, they really are pretty rare if you have to pillage the border for them..."

> Ichirin laughs. "No, it's not that they're rare, it's that people already have what they need, but no more. You'd probobly be able to get one in the human village, easily, but you're not a human, so you can't. The youkai with tubs or something to hold food got them from Rinnosuke, or found them, or made them by their own hands. Of course, most youkai don't eat, or need to eat, so a lot of youkai don't have anything to store food at all."

Consider the idea of giving first-time customers to our stand a discount. It might raise business. Also consider advertising in the temple.

> You accept payment in shiny objects or debts to do something for you. It's a little hard for a discount to those. You don't understand money, but coins are shiny, so you just accept it for the shiny. The one time Sakuya came by and heard your policy, before she walked off she dropped a small knife on your stand, and the metal was shiny, clearly it had been cleaned and looked after. Because it was shiny, it was OK.

> This might be possible, but you don't see any advetisements for, say, the Moriya Shrine, or Rinnosuke's shop. The only advetisement you saw was a jobs board near the enterence... but it was empty, besides a small, badly scrawled thing saying 'Someone to be surprised'.  You think you know who wrote that.

>After a moment, add, "What do you guys do around here, anyways?"

> "Getting Nue to do anything for anyone is virtually impossible unless you're Lady Hijiri, Miss Hakurei, who does so by beating her in danmaku fights, or Mamizou. And the latter isn't going to help anyone except Nue or Lady Hijiri either." Ichirin says.

> "Didn't Shou tell you? Or do you mean us specfically? Me and Unzan are both guardians of this temple, and disciples of Lady Hijiri. This temple teaches Buddhism, and worship of Bishamoten in particular, as well as working to bring peace and equality between youkai and humans. I met Unzan back when I was human, many, many years ago. Our bond became strong enough that I became a youkai eventually, but I'm still an example of youkai and human working together. I'm not one for bragging, but aside from maybe Mamizou, and Lady Hijiri herself, Unzan is the strongest fighter in this temple. Few in Gensokyo can stand before his assults. We're not the best at Danmaku, but I hear the Oni arn't either."

> Unzan looks a little flattered by this recognition.

"I've personally only seen Sukia, but I've heard enough rumors and legends, and heard enough from the Makai incident from Lady Hijiri, to know that Unzan isn't anywhere near as physically strong as an Oni."

> You were there. Sukia and Yuugi were there alongside quite a lot of others attempting to stop Shinki and other denizens of Makai from invadeing. In the end, it was revealed everything Shinki was doing was to try and take Alice back, thinking she had been stolen from her. It was also revealed that Rumia is from Makai, and was sealed by Yukari. Shinki released the seal, but with Yukari's help to keep her sanity, the empowered Rumia drove Shinki back into Makai.

> Unzan shakes his head.

> "Unzan would never lift a hand against a human unless they endangered me. Besides, it's not Keine that's the problem. Keine is the protector of the village, not the leader. Indeed, as a were-hakutu, Keine herself could be in danger if her nature if found out by the leader of the human village. It's not Keine who needs to be convinced, although she is an advisor to the leader of the humans, and a lot of humans regard her as the real head of the village. It's some worthless noble who's in charge, who refuses to see times have changed." Ichirin explains. "I figure if Keine was in charge, the humans would co-operate with the youkai more, although she'd still maintain a vigil, for obvious reasons. We don't want, say, Yuuka walking into the village and having her own brand of fun."

> "If Lady Hijiri knew, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Unfortunetly, the 'dumbbutt' is kinda the leader of the human village. At least, until they next vote on their leader. Which apparently is soo..." Ichirin says, as there is the distinctive sound of something being knocked over.

> "Oh no!" you hear a familar voice cry out. Ichirin turns to see Kogasa putting a small statuette of Bishamoten back on the stand it was on.

> "Eh...he... Surprise?" the karakasa says, putting on a cute smile.

> "Why are you in the temple? We made it clear you can stay in the graveyard as long as you don't bother us." Ichirin reminded the Karakasa.

> "I came to check on my job advert!" the karakasa says happily.

> "Job advert? There are none!" Ichirina said, sounding irritated.

> You recall the badly scrawled message on the board. You were right. How unsurpriseing.

This is making your head hurt.

>Stop trying to make sense of things. Any attempt is doomed to failure.

> You just decide that the more you think about it the more confused you are getting, and being confused by anything Kogasa does is surpriseing you, so you better stop, because that's just making the karakasa win. You add 'things Kogasa does to surprise people' onto the list of things you stopped attempting to make sense of.

> This list contains 'Cirno', 'Why others can fly without wings' [The concept being against the very nature of avians such as yourself], 'Why Marisa says ~ze all the time' and 'How is Reimu so hax?'

And then she..."

> "If you're talking about who I think you're talking about, stop. We're in a temple." Ichirin warned.

> "Sadist..." Kogasa mumbles, basically summing the mean lady up.
