"Inuyasha, don't bully Shippō!" Kagome held Shippō and comforted him, then turned to ask Miroku curiously, "So how is the other type of Shikigami made?"
At this moment, Kagome and Sango were both staring at Miroku curiously, clearly very interested in the method of making the other type of Shikigami.
[Remember this site's domain name. Reading Taiwan novels is smooth here.]
Miroku looked at their curious expressions and continued, "There's another type that uses one's own hair as a medium to create a Paper man Shikigami. Driven by one's own spiritual power, it's a puppet with a degree of intelligence that can help a monk or priestess fight or set up Barriers."
"Can Monk Miroku make this kind of Shikigami?" Sango couldn't help but ask.
"Uh... I'm not very good at making Shikigami." Miroku scratched his head awkwardly.
"If you can't do it, just say so!" Shippō poked his head out from Kagome's arms and exposed him mercilessly.
Miroku's expression stiffened, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward.
Seeing this, Retsu spoke up at the right time to break the tension, "Kagome, when you go home, could you help me make some Kunai like this over on your side?"
As he spoke, he handed the Kunai he had been using to Kagome. "Just follow this design."
"Kunai?" Kagome reached out and took it, examining it closely. The object looked like a dagger and wasn't complex in structure, so she immediately nodded in agreement. "No problem!"
"Thank you very much. This is for your payment." Retsu thanked her while taking an oval-shaped object out of his ninja tool pouch and handing it to Kagome.
Kagome took it and saw a small, glittering gold coin lying in her hand. Her eyes widened in surprise. "Is this gold?!"
That's right, what Retsu gave her was indeed a gold coin.
He had found it earlier when passing by a convoy that had been attacked by demons.
Everyone in the convoy had been killed by demons. He found a small box in the arms of a corpse containing several neat gold coins, which were likely a form of currency.
He took the gold coins and, in return, buried their bodies.
Now, it was perfect to use as payment.
As a middle school student, this was Kagome's first time touching gold. After a moment of daze, she hurriedly tried to hand it back, saying urgently, "No... there's no need! Making these things doesn't cost much money. You don't have to give me this; gold is very valuable."
"Keep it. I picked this up by the roadside, and I have several more," Retsu said flatly without taking it back.
"Pi... picked it up?!" Kagome and Miroku both froze in place.
Kagome never expected anyone could just pick up gold, while Miroku, thinking about how he worked so hard exorcising demons only to earn a few Copper coins, felt a sudden surge of frustration.
Actually, with their strength, it wasn't hard to make money; they were just suddenly shocked by the gold.
Finally, at Retsu's insistence, Kagome accepted the gold coin.
"Once you're done, just leave them with Grandma Kaede. I'll come to pick them up when I have time," Retsu said.
Kagome nodded and agreed.
