Kourindou, home... at least it was before s***reko fucked everything up.

Yuuka introduced, onto the start of the Kourindou chapter!
Probably going to do another part after this, but no promises.

The green haired lady headed down the main road out of the square, her brightly coloured parasol and red dress visible up until she walked over the crest of a small hill.
You breathed a sigh of total relief when Yuuka was out of sight.
Rinnosuke did likewise, and in general people seemed to relax a bit.
You turned back to the shopkeeper who's store you had inadvertantly brought someone troublesome to.
The man was gawking at you, presumably trying to guess just what you had said to get her to leave nearly as soon as she came.
Morichika too was looking at you baffled, and all you could do to answer their probable questions was to shrug your shoulders with your palms facing upward.
Once the shock had worn off, you got Rinnosuke to pay for your new clothes and followed him to the edge of the village.
It was a little nervous, passing the official walls of safety, going past the point at which your it was not impossible to be caught and killed by any number of things,
but Rinnosuke seemed to pay no heed to the lack of guaranteed security, instead walking further and further away from what you had quickly understood to be your new home.

After about half an hour of lesiurly walking, you noticed the trees looked decidedly more gnarled and leafy than before,
with the floor of the forest losing it's grass as light became somewhat of a scare resource.
It was a relief therefore, to spot a cabin in a small clearing not too long after.
You couldn't read what the large sign on top said, but seeing as Rinnosuke isn't stopping to knock, you can only guess that this is the place.

...

Come to think of it, you never thought to ask Keine what this place actually did or was called.
You'll have to figure it out, it seems.
Rinnosuke leads you to a small room in the back, with a sleeping bag, a desk & chair, and a small shelf with your Japanese books already on there.
On the table is a note, seemingly for you unless someone else only speaks English.
After looking to your landlord, who only gave a nod, you pick up the paper and read it.
Unsurprisingly, it's from Keine.

>Anon
>I caught someone who was heading in the direction of Kourindou, and gave her your books.
>Please check none are missing.
A quick scan of the titles shows to the best of your memory that they are all accounted for.
>Mr. Morichika has a spare room i've asked him to lease you, and it should be enough for your purposes.
>He will take care of your wellbeing as far as he can, but don't expect him to reattatch your limbs
>He lives in the forest of Magic, which is a relatively dangerous place to wander around in, so don't take any walks alone, especially at night.
>Kourindou is taken as a safe haven by most, but if someone really wants you dead they aren't going to treat it like the Human Village and wait until you leave, so don't go making enemies.
Reassuring.
>Speaking of enemies; There are a few people you might have to deal with. Most of theme are not human, but if you are working for Mr. Morichika,
they should respect you enough to not eat you unless you do something really stupid like attack them, or disobey any reasonable request they might have.
>If a blonde lady shows up out of thin air, you'd best just do whatever she says until she gets bored and goes home.
>If a girl with white hair shows up, and she's dressed in a maid outfit, you should be in good company. I've heard she should know English, so you should have no issues there.
>If a girl with white hair shows up, and she is carrying two swords, you needn't worry, but she won't be interested in the shop. Try and inform her of where she is.
>If a witch shows up in a black hat and carrying a broom, watch her and make sure to direct her to Rinnosuke at the shortest notice.
>The same applies for the girl in red with her armpits on full view
A long list. You had better hope you remember all of this if any of these people show up, but there don't seem to be any men mentioned. Interesting.
You reach the end of the letter, and nearly go to put it away before thinking to check the other side, and upon doing so you find a few hastily scribbled postscripts.

>If you need anything, tell Rinnosuke to take you to me, and if you see any sunflowers, DO NOT DAMAGE THEM!!
That last part was double underlined. Must be very important, were sunflowers significant in the religion of Japan ... whatever that was?
