“Thank you again. While I’d love to find out your recipes, I have some more important questions for you.” The tengu, well-fed and comfortable at the table, began to do what she does best: Pry until she hits a jackpot. “To begin with: How do you feel living here? Is this place really as true to the Hakurei Shrine as it seems? As the most recent caretaker for the shrine, you are the most qualified to answer that.”

Anon began to tense up, but let out a sigh as he began in a rather positive tone. “Well, the living room and kitchen are about the same. The bathroom and bedroom are much nicer than anything we could reasonably have at the shrine.”

“Right, and how would you say life is like inside the Hakurei Shrine Experience?” He still wasn’t as trusting as she wanted him to be quite yet.

“I suppose it’s a bit… easygoing. Ran-sama manages the kappa and tengu that upkeep the attractions. Since I don’t have to leave the shrine, I mainly keep the rooms clean and look after myself as the workers deliver groceries.” He was clearly holding back. Watching his words.

“Could you explain what you mean by not having to leave the shrine? Aren’t you allowed to visit the stalls and enjoy the games?” Aya could already guess the answer, but she needed him to open up in order to spill the really juicy details.

“I… I can’t leave the shrine. There’s a barrier preventing me from leaving, or at least that’s how Mar-” He cut himself off before he finished mentioning the witch’s name.

“That’s how ‘who’ described it?” He was starting to crack.

“No, no, it’s my fault. I’m not supposed to mention any other clients. Here, would you like some more tea?” He was trying to deflect, but Aya wasn’t going to let up just like that.

“Well, ‘dear,’ I’d at least like to know if any women have been giving you trouble. Don’t worry honey, you can trust me. I won’t tell a soul.” She began to hold his shoulder, squeezing it. It was nice and solid. Easy to grip. Maybe even ride-

This place is getting to her.
