Chili sighed as he finally made it to the small town of Shirotsume. He was here for two reasons, one was the library to look and see what cult books while he was here to check out reason two. Which was a rumor that a fisher man had started spreading around. One day while he was out on the lake that was near the outskirts on the other side of the town that Chili was on, it was surrounded by a few mountains. Giving you a beautiful view of shimmering water and green rolling hills. Back on track though the fisher man said that he had seen a giant slithering shadow pass beneath his small row boat, it seemed to scare away all the fish, and that made the fisher man twice as quick to get out of the water.
"Great. Not even near the ocean and there's a serpent like water creature in the lake......that's another thing why the hell is it got to be a snake monster? Although it could all be hocus pocus like that other lake monster. What was the name of that other monster, Messie? No ahh how am I drawing a blank right now.........ah whatever it'll come to me later, for now, I just hope everything goes as easy as a piece of cake....or should I say a piece of lake? That was bad......though this is a conversation I am having with myself in my own head so the only one who could think it was bad is me so I say it was good."
Grumbling a little as he came out of his thoughts Chili watched as two kids ran by him, heading up the hill along the stone path that was divided by the flower and grass beds sitting in the middle of it making the walk actually really relaxing for anyone. Though Chili wasn't anyone and even though he saw the beauty in this small town, he still had unofficial work to do and no relaxation for the wicked so no relaxation for him. A thought stirred with that though.
"When was the last time I actually just remained still and enjoyed something, I mean I stop to eat and such but I haven't really ever taken the time to really just be at peace for a bit, it's always investigation this, a job that and monster fights. Not that any of those are not fun, the beauty of this place just got me thinking. Well, once I finish here maybe I could kill a few hours. Though that would give the cult a few hours of me not closing in on them so I'll have to mull over it for a bit."
Shrugging to himself Chili did his best to follow the path as it went up hill a part of it branching off to go right, luckily enough this path led to the library and then to the outskirts of town where the lake should be.
Taking this rightward path, Chili was now just walking even with the hill for a few minutes before arriving in front of the library. He opened the door and entered. It was a small place with only about fifteen book shelves that were about a foot or two taller than Chili somewhere in the center of the room while the rest leaned against walls. To his right, this time was a small counter to check books in and out. Behind it was an elderly looking gentleman who appeared to be wearing a black golf cap, checkered shirt, and regular jeans. Chili approached him and felt as the elder's eyes scanned him up and down. Yeah, he was in a black vest and red collared shirt instead of his white one paired with his dust covered blue jeans and shoes. Though he understood why the man was scanning him when the geezer spoke up.
"You are the boy who pinned all that stuff to the wall at the Rose Garden's library are you not?"
Chili's mouth opened and closed for a second as a thought went through his head.
"How the hell did he know that?"
Just nodding his head yes, Chili was soon being scooted out of the library by said, old man, as he said. "Well, my friend there gave me a heads up on what you wear and how you look just in case you came here to cause me trouble like you did him. I won't be wasting an hour or two cleaning up your mess. No, I won't."
As Chili was pushed through the door he tried to hurriedly explain to the old man. "All I did was use his wall to pin a bunch of stuff up! I didn't really do much else."
Not even getting a response as the door was slammed in his face followed by the sound of locks clicking into place.
A little stunned by what just happened Chili shook his head, and turned to walk down the steps of the library. Not having much else to do he turned left and began to walk towards the outskirts of town.
"Hopefully I have more luck with the giant lake serpent than the library owners I seem to piss off and who now are all keeping tabs on me. I only have a slither of hope at that though." Chili thought as this was now the second library he had been tossed out of due to the Rose Garden incident. If had known that one wall fiasco would get him banned from other libraries as well he would have just stolen the books he had needed and been on his way. Though stealing wasn't something he approved of but if things kept going like this he was gonna need to steal some books just to get the information he needed. though that didn't matter now he was on his way to investigate the lake which was still about a ten-minute walk away so for that time Chili put his hands behind his head and looked up at the clouds. It really was a pretty day out with the sunlight nice and warm but the moister in the air from the lake keeping it cool at the same time without making it humid. Today was hopefully gonna be a good day for him.
