I got some cash left. Next we go to....a kejourou. Giving the picture to her will tell us which machine we have to use.

[ Once more, digging through the notes he identifies where they're supposed to go. ]

Her place is...nearby in the Tamamo district. Of course, she is.

[ Whatever. He slams his notebook shut and tucks it away. ]

Hopefully no one will try to throw a rock at me again.

Eh, I've got an idea. You just go right ahead of me, and it'll look like I'm escorting you. That'll keep them from getting too pissed off.

[Cause the Chewbacca in shackles trick always worked, didn't he know? Either way, as they started out it was at least a little quiet. They weren't actually going to a Tamamo business, after all. That was probably important in the long run.]

Let's do it. It's not like I got a better idea.

[ He walks a pace infront of her, hands behind him as if she has him tied or bound somehow until he spots the place they're aiming for. Of course it's a brothel, but their client was smoking in the alley next to it. ]

Oi, lady. Got a minute? We got something for you.

[ He took out his phone once they were relatively out of sight and the moment she spotted the picture she gasped and grabbed his phone faster than he could react and then immediately started to fawn. ]

.....Lets give her a minute.

[ He says with crossed arms and mild irritation. ]

Take your time, lady. And go ahead and upload it.

[One of those words she'd only learned thanks to being here. She barely knew what it meant. She just knew people said things like that at times like this, though technically 'download' was more appropriate. Either way, they got what they wanted and soon, they were babbling off where to find the right machine.

Tenshi was positively beside herself. They finally knew where to go, and what button to press.]

Thanks! You have no idea how much of a relief this is!

[ He could already feel the tension from his shoulders dissipating as he gets his phone back and get the machine details. He even actually bowed a little as they left. ]

...Hang on. Tenshi. This machine, isn't this this just the one on the otherside where the shirime client is??

[She sighed and grumbled.]

Well, of course it is. they were already kind of cagey, so I bet they were too shy to admit whatever perversion they had openly in case that cackling hag was on the roof watching. So they had us do this for them. It's annoying, but at least it's close, right?

[ There is bloodlust and then there is Bishop's bloodlust, and there is a lot of the later coming out of him now. ]

Goddammit....He gave me the run around for a....

[ Bishop fell silent for a moment as he tries to keep his urge to kill intact before moving on, his pace having more purpose and rage. ]

Easy. Let's just get this and we don't have to deal with him. Drinks on me, ok?

[She led the charge at this point. They were so close, and when she saw the machine, she rushed over with the last cash she had and punched the buttons, only for the package to drop down. When she grabbed it, though, the sealed magazine definitely got a very ... different reaction.

She looked like she was shaking with rage as she stared at a peach on the cover.]

This... This... is... blasphemy!

[ He was rubbing his temples when he finally saw what was being asked of them, and while he's certain about what she's so upset about, he's upset over how stupid this all was. ]

Suck it up, Tenshi. Let's get this-

Oh! You got it!

[ As if like clockwork, the shirime appeared and started to walk, or waddle, over to them. ]

Can I have it please? I wanna see them peaches!

[ The anger Bishop was feeling started to dissipate as he realizes he did something for a talking eyeball ass monster. More than that, he's also pretty sure Tenshi will get angrier over the use of peaches in that sentence. ]

[The look that she gave the Shirime could have murdered stone. She thrust the object in his direction, her countenance like ice while he took it from her and she looked like she was about to end something right then and there.

But she bit her tongue and waited for them to be paid. Only when he started to toddle off, talking about looking at peaches and eating peaches did she speak, oh so calmly.]

Bishop. I don't care if you're lying to me. But please tell me peaches are a euphemism for something besides Celestials. I'd rather not murder a Shirime in the back.

These peaches are a euphamism for something else that aren't Celestials.

[ Said in the dryest tone ever. He had honestly wanted to punch the client in the face...err, ass eye but...Honestly, it was just gross. ]

Anyway, the job is complete. Here, your cut.

[ He opened the envelope and took out half of the pay and handed it over. ]

Go treat yourself to something nice, and try to forget this whole thing. As soon as you take this cash, we're back to being enemies after all.

[ There's no hostility in his voice, but there was no kindness either. Just a simple matter-of-fact statement about the situation and their "partnership". ]

[She breathed a sigh of relief and reached out for the cash, giving him a wink and a smirk, despite looking like she still wanted to twitch and growl at that thing. But it would wait for the time being.]

Yep. Enemies. Or, maybe frenemies? Frenemies is a word right? It better be. Whatever. Long as we don't have to fight, no point in doing it.

Thanks. Let's go our separate ways and forget that bastard.
