Coming back into town, you couldn't stop thinking about the previous night. Kogasa was actually cheery and thoughtful, so why did she seem so depressed behind that? Did she really think herself to be useless? If the phantom youkai trusted her with her swords she must be pretty talented. Suddenly you bumped into something.

"Eh? what where yer going runt." a voice snarled. "Oh wut's this? If it isn't the son of those two youkai lovers? off playing in the woods with dem like yer parents did? They got wut dey deserveddd."

The man was tall and had a scar across his face that had robbed him of one eye. He was a youkai hunter, and you recognized him. He was the one who had burned down your parents house. His own family had been eaten by youkai, and now he was a bitter drunk. Among even youkai hunters he was known for his hatred of youkai, and for being cruel.

"So what if I was..." You ball your fist in anger. "You're just an old bastard who has nothing left but to drown himself in drink."

"Fucker!!"

He kicks you hard in the chest and you fall to the ground. With a couple more swift kicks he spits

"Do well to remember this, boy...Ain't nobody lookin out for yer ass. Least of all the no good son of them that think humans can get along with youkai."

With a malicious glint in his eye that seemed to show that his need for amusement had been satisfied for the night, he sauntered off.

As you lay there recovering you thought back to what he said. He was scum, but was it really okay? A youkai killed your parents. Sure, their eccentricity meant that you were seen as something of an outcast, and even now most won't help you, seeing you as a bad omen. But still, they had given you a good life. And now they were gone for good. Was it really okay for you get friendly with a youkai? It's not like you loved youkai, in fact, you definitely hated them. But Kogasa...Kogasa wasn't a killer. Her pranks were really harmless, and her situation honestly reminded you of your own. Maybe...

Your ribs still hurt. It had been several days since that bastard had beat you up, but doing labor each day wasn't helping them heal. It's not like you could just lay in bed. You had the feeling that the pity which led to you getting a job in the first place was a fickle thing.

You look around you hut. It certainly was improved from what it was, but you had a long way to go. I mean, even your only piece of cookware was almost useless. A battered old pan with a hole in the bottom so it couldn't hold liquids. Well, you did find out that Kogasa was a blacksmith and it has been a few days since you saw her...but its definitely not that you want to see her. You just need your pan fixed and she owes you for scaring you. Yes, that's it.

You figured you could find her on the village-Myouren temple road where she normally tries to scare people. Sure enough you after a while you hear those same footsteps.

"Bero bero BAAAH!!"

Kogasa jumped out from behind a tree bearing her sharp canines and wiggling her fingers at you. Her umbrella's tongue wagged out, trying to lick your face. You looked at her, not scared in the slightest. But since she looked like she might burst into tears you decided to play along.

"aaaaah" you said, somewhat half heartedly.

But still, she smiled. "H-hey I know you're faking it!"

"Then you should try being more scary and less adorable"

"A-adorable?!" She was taken aback, trying to hide her reddened cheeks. "Who are you calling adorable? I'm a scary youkai y'know. I'll eat you!!" She opened her mouth to show her teeth again. "Graaaah!"

"It's not that you're not scary. You just need to be more creative to surprise people, like that night at your house. When you do the same thing every time of course it's not going to surprise me."

"O-oh I guess you're right..." She fidgeted with her skirt, clearly embarrassed.

"Well anyway Kogasa, I have this pan I need fixed. Could you fix it for me? I'll let you scare me.

"Sure!" Her face lit up, beaming like a child's.

Back at her house, she got her forge going.

"Do you want some sake? I got it in exchange for fixing an oni's chains, even though I don't really like drinking."

Since you can never afford sake at the village, you gladly obliged. Kogasa got to work diligently working the bellows and getting the fires going. She set to work banging out the dents and patching the holes. You had seen blacksmiths work in the village, but those were grown men. Kogasa was no larger than a young human girl. Yet she deftly wielded a hammer that seemed too heavy for her. Really, she was quite adept.

When she was done she showed you her work. The pan was good as new. She even replaced the rotted wooden handle with a nice metal one.

"Wow! There's nothing I can't cook with this now. Thank you!"

You were beaming beside yourself, or perhaps the sake was getting with you. Yes, it definitely was. And against your better judgement you insisted that Kogasa share a drink with you.
