"Heeey~! So like, I heard there's a totally awesome alchemist here? I'd like to buy like, your strongest cold resistance potion~! There's this totally cute girl that I wanna smooch and touch and many many other things but like, her body temp is cold enough to freeze alcohol."

"Yes yes, total awesome alchemist speaking!"

IT'S CHLOE, SAY HELLO

"Cold resistance potion? Under this heat?" That's... weird. "Well, I can't judge, so..."

She's going to put a light blue potion in front of her. The bottle's... kind of cute.

"This one's much cheaper than the usual fire resist potion, since it's summer right now! In fact, it's half price! Go on!"

[alchemistdefective]

"Well... she's more of my girlfriend, but don't worry! I'm not serious about it at all!" Ah, he's turning to another Flan now, which is more of a friend, really! A little bit of differences, most notably the height, but at least the clothes match better!

"But you can call me Eri! Eri Philomele, nice to meet you! I'm actually a human from the Outside World who comes to Gensokyo to relax sometimes! What about you?"

"Also, it's a bit hard to tell right now, but I'm actually a boy-..."

HE'S USED TO IT, THOUGH

"Ah...a shapeshifter? Well, it's good to know that the real vampire sister isn't like that. And that you weren't serious about your...offer?" he commented, shaking his head. Now that things were more clear, he was more relaxed.

"A-Anyway, ahem. I suppose I'm just not used to how this land is. I'll...try my best to be careful. All of that said! What is your name, miss...?"

[alchemistdefective]

"S-Sorry, sorry! Wait, let me turn back...-"

AND OFF HE GOES, TURNING BACK... while still... wearing Flan's clothes. He can't SHAPESHIFT HIS CLOTHING, AFTER ALL

"I... ah... haven't got this kind of reaction in a VERY long time, I was expecting some kind of shotback or something...- B-But I'm sorry, forgive me, they may be horny but most of them are really nice people..."

"Just... be careful, okay? Sorry for lying to you...-"

@alchemistdefective

"W-Wait wait SORRY, I WAS JUST TEASING YOU, I'M SORRY-" He NEVER EXPECTED IT TO WORK

"Teasing me!? I didn't think such obscene jokes were the norm here. Then again, I should have known better. Everyone around seems insatiably horny."

[alchemistdefective]

"Of course! I'm still learning, but what's best is that we do our best to preserve the balance, and guide humanity to it's rightful direction!"

SHE IS, AFTER ALL, A HEROINE

"But yes, take your time! It's not an easy task, but I will do my best to repay you back!"

"Haruka Kazama...a nice name, for a very nice girl. You seem very earnest!" he commented with a smile. Girls like her, they were his weakness.

"As for my price, well. I'll decide that when next we meet, how about that? And after ascertaining what your current wealth is like at that time. I don't wish to bankrupt you, after all."

[alchemistdefective]

"Ah, sorry! It will be I who will flip burgers to get money, so I could pay you, merchant-san!"

"But yes! I am Haruka Kazama, from the Kagetsu clan, Merchant-san! It's a pleasure to meet you! Name your price, for the good of Gensokyo!"

"...Flip burgers? Sell food? I don't quite see what that has to do with me procuring this item. But if that is what you wish to do..." he trailed off, pausing. "Ah, miss. I do believe you've yet to share your name with me. If I do manage to get this item, knowing your name to find you would be useful."

[alchemistdefective]

"Here's my advice, Chloe. Let's peg him."

"Unfortunately, I'll watch-... Sensei would scold me otherwise-"

[alchemistdefective]

"Oooh, femboy!~"

...

"Should I send Eri in my place, or should I send myself?"

"How dangerous is he?"

[alchemistdefective]

"Uhm, Ninja girl, I humbly apologize for my peeping. It was wrong of me to do so. I'm sorry." Poor Romia, Library probably strong-armed her into doing the right thing.

"It's 'Haruka', Romia-san! And it's okay, so long as you don't do it again! I hope you take this as a good lesson to learn!"

Nod nod!

"I understand that Gensokyo has made you do things like that, which is why meditation is important. Come, pray to Ameterasu to pure your mind, as we sit under the fountain for meditation."

[alchemistdefective]

"Well, I'm a normal person too... I'm human and Haruka's a kitsune..."

Chloe, you're the one poisoning him and forcing potions on him, shapeshifting, poison, etc-

"... But Haruka throws fireballs at him-"

@alchemistdetective replied to your post “"Ryoko, what's the difference between me hitting...”:

"Okay, but Haruka hit him and nothing happened! So there must be some kind of loophole!"

"Haruka is ultimately harmless. She's a naive kid who isn't really a danger to Eri and so her reaction is just a normal persons reaction to a prank. If Reimu overreacted to 'everything', we'd be hearing lightning strikes constantly and Eri wouldn't be able to live a normal life."

[alchemistdefective]

"Something around the lines of 'being disciplined and free of sin is the new punk rock'!" Yes. "We can give it a try! I'll do my best to flip more burgers and sell food for this to work! All for world balance, thank you!"

"W-Well. Not so much 'wandering'. I wouldn't be much of a merchant if people had no idea where to find me. As for your request..." he let out a cough, a slight flush on his face.

"I can see the need for such a thing. Unfortunately, there is no magical potion that can instantly make people not be aroused. The best I could do...mmh, yes. Probably some sort of pungent candle, or mixture. Something along those lines. I'll have to see what I can do to get it to have a smell conductive to meditation, while also being enough to make sex a not so exciting thought with that smell lingering about..."

[alchemistdefective]

"Yosh, a wandering merchant, then! Alright, I would like to place an order... For one anti-sex potion!"

What.

"The people in Gensokyo are extremely horny, sometimes uncontrollable, so I'd like something which you could use as incense to make people think about something else other than sex, and do meditation to clear their thoughts!"

"Perhaps there are more comfortable clothes, but these are the ones I enjoy. And perhaps a little, but as a merchant, do I really need to be that nimble?" he pointed out playfully.

"As for what I sell! Anything and everything I can get my hands on. A variety of things. A land like Gensokyo, it has a myriad of individuals with myriads of needs. So it makes sense to have a variety of things. And if I don't have it now, place a request and I can probably get it, given enough time!"

[alchemistdefective]

"There are other much more comfortable clothes depending on fabric, I'm sure... B-Besides, doesn't that restrict your movement?"

MAYBE? PROBABLY? Also, 'dear'?! Who is this boy!?

"W-Well, I won't force anything, but the elders in my home won't like things like that... I did my part." Warning is a good start, YES "So umm... W-What exactly are you selling here, Merchant-san?"

@alchemistdefective

continued from here

"Hm, me, lie? I'm not. I'm giving you a test. It's not good to accuse others of lying when they're not, miss..." he trailed off, a playful smile on his face as she flipped the coin. Then...a chuckle.

"Unfortunately, the kami are wrong today."

[alchemistdefective]

"You know what?~ I haven't shown my body to everyone yet, sooo... As a proper kitsune should, I'm going to strip myself bare! Watch!~"

"Hi Haruka, I'm showing off this swimsuit! What are-"

CRASH!

Sorry, MAYBE NEXT TIME

[alchemistdefective]

"W-What?! But the kami are never wrong! I-I must be corrupted by Gensokyo's air for my thread of fate to wane!"

SHE MUST DO MORE MEDITATION

"B-But that can't be, Merchant-san... Under the Moon Goddess Tsukiyomi-no-Mikoto, boys are supposed to dress like boys, and girls are supposed to dress like girls, and failiure to do that will cause upset to the world balance... Who put you up to this?"

@alchemistdefective

continued from here

"Hm, me, lie? I'm not. I'm giving you a test. It's not good to accuse others of lying when they're not, miss..." he trailed off, a playful smile on his face as she flipped the coin. Then...a chuckle.

"Unfortunately, the kami are wrong today."

[alchemistdefective]

"It's not good to lie. You remind me of another boy I know."

DEVIOUS. But she's...

What is she doing? Why is she taking a coin up...

"The kami said girl."

"Quick question, merchant-san!" Is... she talking about Toshiko? "Are you a boy or a girl?"

Oh no

"Oh my, oh my. You can't tell, can you?" a giggle left Toshiko's lips, legs bringing the merchant up, standing before the other. Before giving her a little spin, and a playful smile, facing her once more. "How about you guess, hm~?"

[alchemistdefective]

"ECCHI!"

Ah, she's standing up BEFORE THROWING KITSUNE FIRE AT ROMIA

GOODBYE

[alchemistdefective]

"Kitsune-san... With due respect, according to what the elders say, the wisdom of the ages are what we must learn from history, in order to proceed... Only once we preserve the old ways, can we evolve."

"It's like having a foundation to stand on, I suppose..."

"Traditions teach one their beginning/origin and can be a [guidance] for future choices/decisions. Yet to be limited/restricted to tradition is no longer beneficiary. It becomes regressionist, because progress/evolution must also be pursued if any social/individual [growth] is to be had."
