Rishi and Venus had been at the Muramasa's castle today. She had taken another request, and this one was probably going to be annoying. Today she would have to distract the village idiot, Leis. She had been told by the head guard of the family that Leis comes every day and rambles on about satan in front of the castle every day, and they couldn't have that happening today. They had a large event going on at the castle, and many other noble families would be visiting. They didn't want to bring shame onto their family, so it was Rishi's job to keep Leis away from the castle for today. She didn't know how tough this could be, or how long she would have to keep him away for. He could be very stubborn and annoying, which wouldn't be good, or he could be cool and agreeable, which would be great. Either way today was going to be a bit odd, and there was nothing the grey haired girl could do about it.
It had been a few hours before the event started that she and the vulpix had been there, waiting for the old man to show up. She had started to wonder why she had taken this request. This wasn't something she would normally do, and babysitting wasn't her specialty. She actually didn't really like babysitting, as you get paid to watch over someone who can't care for themselves, which puts a lot of work on your end. She discarded those thoughts for now, as she could see the old man approaching in a wheelchair. She ran forwards and had stopped him in his tracks, making sure he didn't get any closer to the castle than he was at that moment. She had convinced him to go with her into the streets to get a drink, and she had turned his wheelchair around and rolled him back into the streets, going down to a coffee shop.
They had gotten to the shop, and she had gotten a lemon iced-tea, Leis getting a cup of water. Rishi wasn't sure why this was exactly, but she had just let him get it anyways, as it seemed that was what he wanted. She had asked him a few questions, but she couldn't really do much more than that. Luis' answer to one question was a half hour long, and they would always be jumping around to random things that had nothing to do with the question and the occasional mention of his wife. She could tell that he had really loved her, and that made her think of Venus. He had been pretty quiet today, and she wasn't sure why. Normally he would be making happy sounds, just so show that he was part of the conversation, but today he had just seemed to be quiet. She had found this quite odd, but she wasn't going to do anything about it. If he wanted to be quiet then she was going to let him be, and that was the end of it.
