Days?: This Is Not Good Part 4

(Vale: Vale City: Beacon Academy: Campus: Courtyard)

"Bye." I said to both Izaya and Weiss, then increase the input aura into [Moonlight Step] once more and rush towards the Beacon Tower while ignoring the others along with my friends.

few minutes later*

(Vale: Vale City: Beacon Academy: Campus: Beacon Tower: Ozpin's Office Room)

Once I reach the Beacon Tower; instead of slowing down to find an entryway for me to enter the place, with the whole building just look like it's bound to collapse. What I did instead was changing the unknown vectors around me, where I would lower the [Gravitational Force].

By using [Accelerator], with a bit of [Gravity Magic] to bring up the unknown vectors formula to change, and [Moonlight Step] for a big jump, to help me reach the top of the Tower in just a minute.

I arrive right in the middle of the battle between Cinder Vs. Momoyo, with Shigure and Pyrrha helping her. Since it looks like Momoyo is heavily at a disadvantage with the battlefield being in Ozpin's Office.

Somehow, they moved from the Vault to Ozpin's Office Room just baffle me. But, I won't question it when the important thing is that Cinder got the Dragon's help to deal with the others by spawning more grimm inside the Office Room to stall them long enough for Cinder to attack them from a distance.

Pyrrha and Shigure return fire with their own methods for distance fighting while Momoyo tries her best to take down the grimm and at the same time minimize her output of damage from affecting the surroundings, or else, she would bring the whole place down, along with the others.

Seeing how this battle is really different compared to canon. I really wonder what would happen if there is any other unknown variable just bound to appear soon.

So upon my appearance; two most reactions happen. One: Cinder glare at me with eyes burning with rage, literally, as her eyes are on fire. Two: Pyrrha, Shigure, and Momoyo are relieved to see me since I'm the best in this type of battlefield.

"Hey, where Jaune?" I just realize I don't see Jaune anywhere. Ozpin, I didn't bother to think where his unconscious body is at or maybe he ends up dead already. Shigure never did tell me what happen to him a few minutes back.

Without even blinking; I've already deployed [Eagle Pulse] just enough to cover this whole room, which reveals the unknown vectors for me to change with my will.

No sooner after I got the result from the [Eagle Pulse]; all the weak grimm are killed before they could realize what happened. Leaving behind just a few, but barely standing grimm surviving from being cut by countless of small compressed [Wind Bullet], with enough power to pierce through their defense like nothing.

Looking at the Dragon about to spawn another wave of grimm. I couldn't stand here and just watch it bring in more trouble for the others. So ignoring Cinder, which isn't that hard when Pyrrha is her main target at the moment. After all, Pyrrha holding the other half of the Fall Maiden's power is what Cinder came here for.

With both Shigure and Momoyo in the way; there is no way for Cinder to grab it and require to keep her distance from them due to lack of experiences in facing them. Also, Cinder can't even tank a single of Momoyo's attacks when the air pressure alone being produced by Momoyo's fists alone is enough to cause her inside to hurt, and that while she still has her aura shield to protect her.

Sadly, for Cinder, what she doesn't know is that Momoyo can make a small compressed air cannon with her punches and kicks to overcome her disadvantage in long-distance combat; furthermore, among the weakest destructed long distance [Technique] due to its small size and lack of a large range for an area attack. However, Momoyo had to hold back or else she would blow the whole building down if she decides to put in the normal rate of strength behind her attacks. Even so, this [Technique] could turn into a large-scale area attack if Momoyo put more strength and aura into it.

"Enma! Kill that Dragon already! I may like to have a good fight once in a while, but this isn't the right time! So kill it!" Momoyo shouts at me, as she sends a grimm crashing into another one before she rushes in to deliver another punch as a finisher, but instead of sending the grimm flying once more. They exploded into a black fog, instantly killing them without giving them a chance to slowly dissolve like they do when they die.

"Oh no, you don't." Cinder grit her teeth as she fire off a dozen of [Crystal Arrows] straight at me, knowing that I'm one of those people, who could take down a Dragon grimm on their own. So, Cinder pause on her priority on Pyrrha to me since losing the Dragon grimm would lose her supply of grimm spawned by the Dragon, which are being used to shield her against the dangerous foes.

Not bother to look at Cinder, and use [Accelerator] to change the vectors around my body as I gain inhuman speed, but not as the same with [Moonlight Step]; however, it is just enough for me to appear right in front of the Dragon without any trouble.

I've tried to kill the Dragon grimm right from the very start upon arriving, but [Accelerator] wasn't able to affect the Dragon from a distance with the help of my [Eagle Vision] and [Destruction Magic] to change the vectors from a distance like always. Instead, something is blocking [Accelerator] from seeing the variables belong to the Dragon grimm from the beginning.

So the other way instead of killing it by either using [Destruction Magic] or my [Fusion Spell/Skill] to kill it, which would still lead to destroying this whole building along with the others. Another is what I'm about to do.

Allowing [Accelerator] to manipulate the vectors within the Dragon upon physical contact. But, not everything would go as planned because even after I touch the Dragon's mask. [Accelerator] told me he still couldn't manipulate the vectors inside the Dragon at all, even after the variables appear for him.

"Well, shit." I look at the Dragon, which is glaring at me and grimaced at this. So without having much choice; I sucker punch the Dragon with [Accelerator] manipulating the vectors around my fist to increase the strength behind the blow. Leading to the Dragon letting out a roar of pain by getting its mask cracked by me.

"Sorry girls, but I'm going to need to drag the Dragon far away from here if I want to kill it. At least you don't have more grimm spawning by it anymore." I said to the girls, with Cinder scowling at me for taking away her support while Pyrrha almost tripped in front of a grimm due the whole room shaking due to having the Dragon forcibly remove from the Tower.

Shigure was already next to Pyrrha and helped out by taking out the grimm. Plus, fighting in a shaking room isn't something new to Shigure while Pyrrha hasn't been trained in a shaking environment for combat just yet.

Without a second to waste; I rush straight toward the Dragon grimm and descend from the Tower.

(Vale: Vale City: Beacon Academy: Campus)

"Now it's just you and me." I grin at the Dragon, where the grimm slowly get up from the ground and glare at me with eyes of fury. Then, let out a shaking roar as the shadow of the Dragon spread under it and across the area, where multiple different types of grimm are crawling out of the Dragon's shadow.

Too bad these grimm won't be able to show their might, because in just a few seconds later. A massive unknown force slams them against the ground; scatter their essence to the ground as well and even the Dragon wasn't left unhurt. As the Dragon's bones are crushed to countless little pieces and the skin of the Dragon's just barely held everything inside, stay inside.

The Dragon grimm looks barely alive, not looking like its previous peak condition to bring terror to those who look at it.

Just when it's about to try to move. Another unknown force slams onto its body once more, causing the Dragon's organs to come out of its body, along with the already broken bones into powder. Killing it before it could show its mighty strength before the tiny foe before it.

What could have been an epic battle, that would bring forth a tale of legend across all Remnant. A battle between a mortal against a Dragon grimm in a one vs one combat, which could last for days and nights.

However, the Dragon was no match and was killed instantly without having a chance to fight back.

"Huh. [Ten Collapse Force], and only two collapses are enough to take it down." I thought out loud, as I just used my [Second Stance's Technique: Ten Collapse Force] straight from the beginning and none of my [Persona] was required to face the Dragon grimm.

"Now time to get back to the others." I glance back at the Beacon Tower, then use [Accelerator] with [Gravity Magic] once more and launch myself back to the Tower.

(Vale: Vale City: Beacon Academy: Campus: Beacon Tower: Ozpin's Office Room)

Instead of seeing Cinder on the ground, defeated and ready to be questioned by others later. What I find in front of me is with Momoyo look a little tired and Shigure with a mask of cold murderous rage. At first, I didn't know why they just stand there and wonder where Pyrrha is at until my eyes land on both Cinder and Pyrrha.

With Pyrrha's neck being held by Cinder somehow and the most shocking thing, I've discovered from this scene. Is Cinder's left half of her body turned black, making her look like she getting devoured by a black substance that similar to a grimm, which is the first thing comes to my mind when there are white bones attached on Cinder's left hand to make it a bone claw.

"The hell happened here?! I've only been gone for like 7 minutes!" I look at everything before my eyes with a dumbfounded expression.

Causing others to look at me with a surprised expression, which includes Cinder herself as well, and this is something I took advantage of. Because it looks like Cinder was about to kill Pyrrha, with her bone claw or grimm claw.

Using [Earth Magic] along with [Accelerator]; I created an [Earth Hand] to grab onto Cinder's grimm/bone claw while at the same time creates a sphere of [Wind] around Cinder's head to suck out all the oxygen with [Accelerator]'s help.

Not taking any chance after having to deal with Adam by being overconfident and won't be making that mistake again. Just because the enemy in the Vale Kingdom would be less dangerous back in Mistral. Then again, Adam got a group in Mistral, that are much stronger compared to the one in Vale and among the those that were recruited in the Mistral branch of the White Fang at the time.

So without a further do; I activate [Moonlight Step] right away and appear in front of the shocked Cinder. As I pull out a different [Combat Knife] and enhance with [Wind Magic] by extending the blade length with a compressed [Wind Blade], to make the length almost like a [Short Sword], then slice Cinder's right forearm and grab Pyrrha before rushing back to Shigure and Momoyo.

Cinder shrieks in pain at the loss of her left hand, along with the half of the forearm as well. As we watch Cinder's black/grimm half begin to spread further, but couldn't continue due to something stopping them. If I have to say. It would be her stolen halves of the Fall Maiden's power is what stopping the black/grimm from devouring the remaining human side of Cinder.

Both Shigure and Momoyo didn't blink an eye as they rush in to take down Cinder before whatever she going through could end badly for us. There is no reason for us to wait for the transformation to finish in the first place.

With Shigure appearing behind the still shrieking Cinder, who currently holding her lost hand with her grimm/bone claw, which wasn't helping at all. And Shigure slice off Cinder left arm completely, causing Cinder to shriek even louder as her right eyes begin to burst into a darker shade of flames.

Then Momoyo came in with an attack filled with killing intent to send Cinder to her death before she could cause any more problem. So Momoyo did something she won't usually do in a fight, she wants to last a bit longer. And that was to instantly kill Cinder off with a single straight punch with so much concentrated aura.

Where Shigure sees this, she runs off to get away from the blasting range and if she was to take a second longer, she would have got caught as Momoyo's straight punch ripped Cinder's body apart from the air pressure alone, along with the surrounding behind Cinder being destroyed as well.

Right after that, I quickly cast both my [Wind Magic] and [Earth Magic] to overcome the aftermath by using [Destruction Magic] to literally counter Momoyo's attack from continue on its path of destruction, with the support of [Accelerator] to calculate the right amount of force I needed or else it be too little and end up just slowing it down a little while at the same time if I put too much, then I would end up attacking ourselves due to putting too much aura into my [Destruction Magic].

Sadly, I didn't get [Accelerator] to calculate the amount of aura I have leftover. So the result. Half the Beacon Tower is blown to pieces by Momoyo and me; well, more with Momoyo than me since my [Destruction Magic] wasn't that strong to even stop Momoyo's attack for a few seconds. But, I did manage to keep Shigure, Pyrrha and myself from flying out of the Tower from the shockwave alone.

"Welp. I'm not paying for the damage if anyone going to ask who caused the Beacon Tower to fall apart." I said to the girls, who just look at me wondering if the only thing besides I think about Pyrrha, Shigure, and other big stuff, which is money. Always thinking about money, but what Momoyo doesn't know is Lien equal [Item] and that's equal to [Item] to for the [Persona System: Sell], and this would lead to more [System Point].

In a way, I'm recycling this world's resources outside of [Dust] to be converted into [System Point]. Of course, I would make sure to sell stuff to others I created through my [Skill] with the [Material Card] to provide me the resource to make them. Which in return helps me make more Lien, then I will use to purchase other stuff from people. An ending cycle of a repeat.

"What? You know how the Four Kingdoms' Councils are." I place the blame on the Council of the Vale Kingdom as they were the ones, who don't bother to check if the defenses of the kingdom would protect them from the grimm at the time. But, just rely on those [Paladins] Ironwood brought over here and got hijacked by the enemy, then to Izaya for their usage during this invasion.

"Right." Momoyo said dryly, since she knows it is true. Plus, with the way Mistral's Council tried to get her family to be their personal bodyguards was among the things they tried to use their political powers over their family. If her family wasn't so overly powerful that could take an army, or so by themselves. They would have long been another vessel to the Council of the Mistral Kingdom.

"Do you guys mind if we take a break right now? I'm very tired from that battle and the transfer of the Fall Maiden's power wasn't that great in the first place. Also, we need to go grab Jaune. I kind of sent him away via the rocket locker." Pyrrha said to everyone, as she gives everyone a tired smile, then pushes a strand of hair behind her left ear.

"Before we do that. Why is Shigure mad?" I pointed at Shigure, who still have that mask of cold murderous rage. And the killing intent Shigure begins to release a little show how much she wanted to kill someone.

Both Pyrrha and Momoyo share a look, then look at Shigure before looking back at me.

"The other host of the Fall Maiden's power destroyed one of Shigure's [Tanto], where Shigure was going in for the neck and end up having to use one of the [Tanto] on her to block the enemy's grimm claws? I think that's what it was, but seeing how much damage the enemy could do with that grimm arm. Shigure didn't want to lose her [Nodachi] and had to sacrifice something else, being her [Tanto]." Momoyo explains to me why Shigure is so mad at the moment, and find myself understand what Shigure's going through.

After all, Shigure would rather lose one of her other handmade weapons, then lose her precious main weapon: [Nodachi]. With the small chance of the [Nodachi] being destroyed. No wonder Shigure is fury at Cinder at this very moment and just look like she waiting for Cinder to come back up to face us, so she could kill Shigure herself.

"Hey, Pyrrha. Did you get the other half of the Fall Maiden's power?" I glance at Pyrrha, then at the other side of the now newly formed view to the outside of the Beacon Tower.

"I don't think so?" Pyrrha wonder why I asked her that, then slowly begin to think why didn't she get the other remaining half of the Fall Maiden yet? And quickly realizing that maybe, just maybe the other host is still alive somehow, even when their whole body is blasted to pieces by Momoyo's attack.

"Does that mean we are facing against an enemy that could revive themselves somehow?" Momoyo looks a little uneasy if we're facing against an enemy that could resurrect themselves after getting killed, then later come back for another fight.

Shigure's attention went to Momoyo right away, causing Momoyo to look a little wary at the way Shigure looking at her.

"Well, if Pyrrha didn't get the other half, then that means the enemy still alive somehow, even when you killed her. So being able to revive upon death isn't something new with the kind of work we went through. But, I just wonder if it's the unlimited resurrection or a limited amount of time." I said to Momoyo, then begin to wonder if the way Cinder transformation could be the cause of this or something.

"Oh yeah. How did the enemy turn into a hybrid of a grimm?" I begin to wonder if it was an actual grimm and not a [Shadow], because if it's the latter. Then the incoming war is about to be more deadly than the previous wars this world has ever gone through.

"No clue. One second she was firing [Crystal Arrows] at us and throwing multiple [Fire Balls] everywhere, making it much harder for us to get close to her due to the [Fire] being unnatural. Since I can put out [Fire] easily other than yours, but the enemy's [Fire] didn't go out for some reason and instead just got smaller, which is a small blessing for us." Momoyo shrugged at me, then begin to explain how Cinder transformed.

"Then later, she let out a scream for some reason and turned into that and afterward, she was a lot stronger than before and was able to deal with us in close combat. Not much, but there some danger when facing that transformed left arm of hers. My instinct was screaming at me to not get hit by it. Like that one time with the [Shadow] in [Dark Hour]." Momoyo continues off, then slowly begin to think about something.

Momoyo snap her fingers as she looks at me, "Hey, do you think she turning into a [Shadow]? I never did see anyone turned into a [Shadow] before. Maybe that's what happens to her?"

Both Pyrrha and Shigure didn't get a chance to see these so-called [Shadow] before and only Momoyo managed to see them by accident. While I'm the one with the most knowledge on these [Shadow]. So the girls look at me, waiting for my answers.

"I highly doubt it. Plus, there was no mask on the enemy's face and that left arm of hers look more like a grimm. In fact, it seems to be similar to the Dragon I killed a few minutes ago." I responded, then doubts begin to surface on my mind as it was a little weird that Cinder begins to transform right after I took out the Dragon grimm.

"90000 Lien says the enemy was linked to the Dragon grimm and with the enemy absorbing the Dragon's essence within herself due to the link between, causing a transformation." Momoyo said to me, with a smirk as she knew this is her chance to earn some Lien from me.

Shigure let out an irritated sigh since it looks like she won't be able to take revenge on the enemy, because from what she could; is that wherever grimm are killed are sent to after their corpses are dissolved upon being killed. Should be the same with the enemy being turned into a hybrid of a Dragon grimm.

"No thanks. You still have to pay the debts you owe me already." I rejected Momoyo the chance to reduce the amount of Lien she owes me. Plus, knowing her lucks and the theory she came up with. Would happen to be true at some point and I rather not take a sucker bet.

"Tch." Momoyo clicks her teeth at the lost chance to reduce her debts, but didn't put that much on her mind. After all, even though her friend is crazy for Lien doesn't mean he would put his greed over their friendships over a few Lien, even if it's entering the 5 digit numbers.

"Now, where do you think Jaune is at the moment?" I glance over to Pyrrha. After all, she is the one who wanted to get her friend from wherever she sent him to. Plus, I still have to give Jaune the talk about if he desires to date my younger twin sister.

Pyrrha was about to reply back, then slowly pale than her usual skin color and quickly take out her scroll to call Jaune right away.

"You literally sent your team's leader via a rocket locker to anywhere in Vale, for his safety. But, you forgot that there are grimm out there inside the City, where they could rip him apart. You do realize there a major flaw in this plan of yours right?" Momoyo looks at Pyrrha, with a blank face, which Pyrrha return of her own.

A second later, Pyrrha regretted her action towards her team's leader instantly and quickly dial on her scroll much faster than she was doing so. "Come on! Pick up!" Pyrrha said in a whisper-shout while waiting for Jaune to answer her call.

"So...are we staying...here or what?" Shigure glance around in a much more calmer state of mind, but she is still irritated she won't be able to hunt down Cinder anytime in the future.

"Let's us wait for Pyrrha finish her business, then we can go." I said to Shigure, then begin to walk around the ruin Office Room to see if there anything valuable I could put in my [Persona System: Sell], for some [System Point]. But, I doubt there anything worth a few hundred of [System Point] would survive through the battle.

Not giving any warning to the others, I thrust my right fist toward my right without looking. This caused the girls to look at me, but it was Shigure who notices it earlier than Momoyo and Pyrrha, with Momoyo coming in second and Pyrrha last.

"What's wrong?" Shigure asks me in a concerned tone, but look ready to draw out her [Nodachi] from her back to strike down whatever caused me to attack.

I stare at my right fist with a confused look on my face. As I question myself on why did my body move on its own like I was facing an unknown invisible enemy. Not even a second to waste; I deploy [Eagle Pulse] to catch the unknown invisible enemy as soon as possible instead of using [Eagle Vision].

However, I got nothing from the result. So I decided to test my luck out one more time by using [Eagle Vision] on a large scale to cover this whole room.

"Huh, still nothing." I thought out loud, causing the girls to look around with suspicious looks. Not like I could blame them, since most of the time my [Detection Skill] would work and have a less chance of failing. But like everything, nothing is perfect as there is always a flaw and seeing how my [Detection Skill] still hasn't found anything out of the ordinary.

"Okay, I guess we have to use Plan E." Momoyo said to everyone, which we quickly executed right away.

Before anyone hidden could reaction; all of us jump out of the Beacon Tower right away, with both Shigure and Momoyo easily running down the wall of the Tower while I carry Pyrrha with me down as I carefully change the vectors around us to lower the air resistance and the [Gravitational Force].

Boom!*

Plan E: Explosion. Lots and lots of explosions, as we literally blow up the Beacon Tower with a few of highly refined [Fire Crystalline Dust] packed together inside a box wrapped in [Explosive Tag] that is infused with highly refined [Powdered Fire Dust] to increase the explosion's blast strength and range even more.

Which Shigure and I always carry with us in a special container attacked with a special [Talisman] to stop the dangerous box mixed of highly refined explosions from exploding on us from just a small hit to it would set it off.

So both Shigure and I threw one behind us once we got a good distance away from the blast range. And getting away was the easy part of the plan. The hard part was counting the hidden enemies, we couldn't detect with our [Skill] and wonder if they caught in the explosions or not.

This is why Plan E isn't that much to rely on, but as something to use for a quick getaway and hope we can take down the enemy as well. So none of us would know if we got them or there was even one in the first place. But, better to be safe than sorry.

few minutes later*

(Vale: Vale City: Beacon Academy: Campus: Destroyed Beacon Tower: Entrance)

"We should really get away from here. I've no clue what those people from the Council would do after finding out we were the one that caused the Beacon Tower to be destroyed. Not the grimm themselves." I said to everyone, as I place Pyrrha on the ground after carrying her from the fall.

"Honestly." Momoyo begins before pausing as she looks at the now destroyed Beacon Tower that falling apart, to begin with. Now, the top part is completely gone with the bottom just barely standing before collapsing onto itself in a matter of time.

"How about we go find Jaune while we escape? Because I don't feel like arguing with those kind of people if I have the chance to avoid it." Momoyo quickly decides on our next plan of action.

Pyrrha and I share a look before we nod at Momoyo at the same time. Shigure on the hand, was still staring at the destroyed top half of the Beacon Tower with narrow eyes, as she could feel her instinct warning her about something, but she can't place her finger on it.

"I feel...like...something...dark." Shigure said to everyone, which made another shared look between each of us before looking back at Shigure.

"Which one do you mean by dark? Do you mean the evil kind or do you mean dark feeling where something is lurking in the shadow just watching you? If it is the latter, then it should be Enma's inner demon trying to wake up. Please tell me it isn't the latter one." Momoyo begins to pale at the thought of [Nyarlathotep] awakening, even Pyrrha look like she about to faint from this.

Shigure shook her heads, "Neither. I feel...like...it similar to...a grimm in fact." Well, this just a foreshadowing of trouble if I could see in plain sight.

I look at Momoyo, who look had a thinking look on her face as she was beginning to think about these small hints appear before us. "You don't think that enemy I killed was what you punched on instinct, because since the enemy has a soul while a grimm don't. After that transformation; does this mean we actually facing are against an enemy that could revive themselves always in the future?" Momoyo look at me with a frown.

"Could be. This is new case never happen in the history of the Remnant. Unless there some past records destroyed through the passage of time that mentions about something similar to this. I will believe it than having nothing until proven wrong later." I shrugged my shoulders at Momoyo, then pull Shigure along with us to find Jaune.

Omake: Shigure's First Day On The Job!

In the middle of a sunny day at the Mistral Kingdom in the 75th Floor Area. Where there is a large fairground was set up in the middle of the busy Shopping Area. Among the stalls, there is one that's being run by a teenage girl.

That just happens to be Shigure, who is currently helping her family out by selling merchandise, which wasn't picked by their family's customers for months now and try their luck on the special day event happening in Mistral's 75th Floor Area that happens once a month.

And this month, Shigure decided to be the one running the stall instead of her Father. Luckily, her fiance and friends are there to help her out when she needs it.

At this very moment, a customer came before her stall. Looking through her stuff on rather to buy one or not. Maybe more if her luck is on her side.

"Hey, Little Miss. Can you consider lowering the price? I'm a little tight in Lien." The Customer said to Shigure, as they try to bargain with her, for one of the best quality [Iron Short Sword].

So what is Shigure's game plan on how to bring profit to her family's business without having to drop the price of her merchandise? She stares the Customer with a blank look without saying anything at all. For the whole time.

Which cause the Customer to feel very uncomfortable being stared at, even by a cute girl; nonetheless, being stared at without a single word was heard by the owner of this stall have unnerved them.

"Uh, how about I just pay the full price? I rather not cause either of our times wasted from this boring bargaining." The Customer was the first to cave in, just to show how weak will this person is from being stared at by a teenage girl for just a few minutes of silence.

But, when Shigure still haven't responded back. The Customer's uncomfortable feelings started changing into negative as they begin to feel frustrated at Shigure for not saying anything, even when they offer to pay for the full price when they knew that their budget is tight this month.

"Well?! Are you planning to sell me this or what?" The Customer's state of mind begun to turn for the worst, where everyone turns to look at this direction. If anyone specializes in medical knowledge.

Then, they could tell this Customer has some mental disorder; likely to be a bipolar disorder with the Customer's emotions change so quickly.

And what Shigure did in front of the raging Customer? She raises an eyebrow at them, causing the person to be even angrier at this display of response in return instead of what they wanted.

Seeing how the Customer look like they're ready to attack her; the Customer's anger disappears instantly, then let a smile appear on their face and even laugh a little.

"Aww, no need to be afraid. How about I just buy another one to apologize for my behavior." The Customer offers another deal, which Shigure finally nods in reply and wanting this weird Customer to leave her alone before she has to do something she would regret.

Once the Customer gives the right amount of Lien and left her stall, then wait for a few minutes to see if they return before she let out a tired sigh.

"This is the...fifth one...now." Shigure whispers to herself, as she waits for the next customer to show any interests in her merchandise. But, she starts to get the hang of it and no wonder her fiance is so crazy about Lien when there are so many different kinds of people willing to spend extra Lien when they don't need to.

Now, if only she could stop getting the attention of the weird ones to her stall, then her day would be much more bearable.
