Chapter 9 The Robbing Teacher and Her Angry Student

I do not own Touhou or Fate/Stay Night
In the end, Marisa had to accept the teaching position. There were no more labs that accepted her due to her attitudes, there was no library positions, and Marisa had to get a job in Fuyuki City. So, she accepted the teaching position.
First two periods passed well, with her introducing herself to everyone and just lightly learning about their capabilities. Hmmm, they have a basic concept of how the conservation of mass works, but they do not necessarily know how to get around that rule in making new matter. She'll teach them how to use math to calculate what atoms can be created from what atom.
And of course, she met the girl whose house she broke into in third period.
That girl, Rin, also recognized her, despite her changing her outfit and wearing her glasses. For the whole period, if looks could kill, Rin would have killed Marisa a thousand times over.
Well, that girl seems to be the honor student of the academy. She answered all her questions correctly, and provided the right concept and all that was too advanced. But, it was a bit too, textbookly.
For an example, when Marisa asked her how enzymes worked, she recited word by word from her textbook, not even elaborating why it worked in the first place. In Marisa's eyes, a perfect student would work from the basics up and, using those basic concepts, prove a more advanced concept, rather than the other around.
In the period after lunch was two people in which Yukari had told her were very dear friends to Reimu. Sakura and Shirou. Sakura and Shirou, in Marisa's eyes were, completely ordinary couple who hasn't realized it yet. But, for some strange reason, when Marisa passes by Shirou, she has a strange wanting to rob whatever thing was inside Shirou. Buuuutttt this was a school, so she's not going to dissect him or anything. Yet.
The rest of the school day passed as Marisa learned everyone's name. After school, Marisa watched Shirou and Sakura in practicing archery. And than Marisa took her turn at archery.
First time doing so, and her skills rivaled Sakura's, which was relatively good in the archery world. Yeah, her ability to adapt is overpowered!
When Archery Club's practice was over, Marisa told Sakura to give a message to Reimu, saying that she has taken up a role as a teaching position. Sakura nodded, and she would do so.
It was when Archery Club had finished packing up and left for the day when Marisa decided to confront her stalker.
"So, when are you going to kill me?" Marisa said cheerfully.
"The moment you make any movement. Where's. My. Gems." There was a sharp poking motion in Marisa's back, in which she instantly recognized was Rin's hand. In a gun form.
"IN MY BAG! IN MY BAG!" Marisa shouted as she dropped her bag.
The bag instantly disappeared from Marisa's point of view as Rin started searching through her bag
"Oi, why does it have even more gems?" Rin asked.
"I was practicing how to use your jewel magic." Marisa cheerfully said.
She spent all her money gotten from Atrum on jewels, in which she later copied Rin's magic. Really, it wasn't that hard in carving the jewels. Sure, she may have wasted two thousand dollars on jewels but afterwards she managed to get the hang of it.
She was totally planning to return it with interest! She just wanted to learn how to Jewel Magecraft.
Apparently, the other girl didn't take that news lightly. "YOU'RE TRYING TO REPLICATE TOSHAKA'S JEWELCRAFT?! DO YOU KNOW HOW BAD DEFECTIVE JEWELS WILL – wow, these are really made well. How, how did you replicate it?"
"It was easy, da ze!" Marisa smiled, happy that her new master accepted her skills.
"But still," the finger jabbed painfully into Marisa's back, "You stole my jewels. You broke into my house. And worse of all, you tied me up like that. This calls for punishment, doesn't it?"
Marisa was solely tempted to escape, because this girl resembled too much like Reimu! But, she knew that escape was never an option when it comes to Reimu, so….
"Now, what is your name?"
"Marisa Kirisame, da ze!" Marisa smiled as she ate the Katsudon.
This was…amazing! She's in an interrogation room in the girl's basement, where the girl was acting as an interrogator and she the victim. And she has the Katsudon bowl even!
"What's your age?"
"Twenty-Four da ze!"
"When did you move into Fuyuki City?'
"Two years ago!"
"What's your purpose of being here in Fuyuki City?"
"I like it here. It's so nice!"
"Are you a magus?"
"I told you, I'm a witch!"
"Why are you teaching here?"
"For money!"
"Why did you break into my house?"
"Because I was walking on the roof when I fell!"
"Hmmmm. How are you able to replicate my magecraft so easily?"
"By using magic da ze!"
"You don't know what magic is, huh?"
"Isn't it just everything related to the supernatural?"
"Do you know what prana is?"
"Nope!"
"Do you know…what magecraft is?"
"Isn't that same thing as magic?"
"…Do you have a teacher in your 'magic'?"
"Another please." Marisa smiled as she finished her Katsudon bowl, "It's good!"
"I don't have another –"
"Ciao!" Marisa broke free from the binds tightening from her legs, put down a hundred yen on the table, yanked out mini-Hakkero from her bag, pointed it at the ceiling, and shouted "Love Sign Master Spark!"
A hole was burned through the metal wall, revealing the pitch black night in which Marisa summoned her broom and rode the hell out of the interrogation room.
That was such a good dinner! Now, onwards to plan for tomorrow's lesson!
Rin…lost her words. That, that witch didn't even know about the moonlit world? She, she just believed that her magecraft is just magic? That'll explain the broom and all, but, but, but.
Rin stuttered for a bit, and shook her head. Didn't matter. She could always find that girl later because she was the second owner –
Wait, that girl said that she had been living in Fuyuki for more than two years. Her mentor, Kirei-san, should have been able to sense that witch unless that witch has some kind of concealing ability that cloaks herself from the detection from other Magis.
Rin rubbed her head and sighed. If that was true, than that witch cannot be hunted down. And even if Rin tries to search for her, well.
She looked at the ceiling and let loose a groan. "SHE BLASTED MY CEILING OFF!"
Rin didn't come to school the next day because she got a cold. But at night, there was a parent teachers conference. It was…interesting of Reimu's reaction to Marisa teaching.
"Sakura was telling the truth?! How about your job, I don't know, at Atlas?"
"Fired." Marisa said simply, "My employer and I had a small disagreement."
Reimu sighed. "That makes sense. But…what doesn't make sense is that you are actually borrowing books from the library."
"Hey, I signed up for a library card and everything!" Marisa smiled, "I just simply borrowed as many books as I can as possible!"
"Oh." Reimu facepalmed, "That makes sense. Alright, no more of this talk. So, how's Sakura-chan doing at school?"
"Oh, she's doing fine. She and Shirou-san are literally a couple matched for heaven."
"Have she made any moves yet?" Reimu snickered.
"From what I saw, it's so far a one-way love that was never meant to be." Marisa easily responded back.
"Wait, you mean that Shirou loves someone else?"
"No, more like he's so dense about Sakura's affections that it'll take a century or two to get through."
Reimu sighed. "That's so entirely true. It'll be Sakura who will be making her first move, but, it's impossible for her to confess to a living being so far."
"Why?"
"Because she wouldn't even confess to a Dakimakura of Shirou! She keeps on fainting at the sight of it! I mean, it had gotten to the point that I have lock it in the Shrine's storage room."
Marisa started laughing. "Really now! Gah! I never knew it was to that point!"
"I'm planning Operation Closet." Reimu nodded, "I'm going to need your help."
"Your help in what?'
"Locking both Shirou and Sakura inside a closet, of course." Reimu deviously grinned.
"Oh, that kind of cliché found in books! I'm in!"
"Marisa-san, my name is Kirei Kotomine." A priest guy walked into the conversation, "Oh, Reimu-sama? You're here too?"
"Yeah." Reimu nodded, "Maria, meet Kirei-san, the head of the church. I never knew that Caren is attending this school as well."
"Well, she's planning to transfer next year." Kirei mused, "But I'm here on behalf of my adopted daughter, Rin. I heard that you had a little run in with her yesterday?"
Oh. He's Rin's father. So, most likely that he was a magus as well. Oh fu-
"Marisa is a Servant." Reimu said, and Kirei's eyes cleared up in understanding. "Please tell Rin that Marisa is an old acquaintance of yours."
"Of course." Kirei nodded, "I will do so. However, I heard that you blasted Rin's roof straight off?"
"Ahahah." Marisa said as Reimu directed her glare straight at Marisa, "Well, the only way out of the interrogation room in her basement was up, so I used my Noble Phantasm on it."
"Oh. That'll make sense." Kirei grinned, "That'll explain about my adoptive daughter's anger that day. That was…rather amusing to watch."
"I'll give you money-" Marisa pulled out her wallet and than realized something. "I'm sorry, I have no more money left. Perhaps-"
Ring Ring!
Reimu pulled out her phone and answered it. "Hello? Oh, Mokou? Why are you calling me right now? Some people hired you to stop…Remilia and Zelretch? Zelretch pressed your berserk button, and the pranksters are out of commission? Good, this will maybe stop them from banging on my door. Oh, they gave you a lot of money? How much…wow. That's a lot. Wait, you're giving hundred million yen to me? For Sakura? Oh, okay. I'll tell her that this money is from you. You're planning to visit tomorrow? Alright. See you tomorrow."
Click.
"PLEASE ASK MOKOU TO GIVE ME SOME TOO!" Marisa abandoned all her pride as she grabbed Reimu and started shaking her. "I'M BROKE DA ZE!"
"You don't have to worry about that at all." Kirei raised his eyebrow in the exchange, "I already fixed it."
Marisa looked at Kirei, and sighed. "I thought I had to give you some time-"
"Although, it'll be nice to have some more money in my bank account." Kirei grinned, "After all, it was a patchup job."
"….PLEASE GIVE ME MOKOU'S CONTACT!"
Kirei started laughing as Reimu shook her head. "That'll teach you how to not to splurge all your money." Reimu ticked her tongue, "Kirei, you decide how much money she owes you."
"Hmmm, let's see. We have to redo the roof from scratch-"
"PLEASE! REIMU!"
"How did you waste your money so fast?" Reimu sighed, "Didn't you get ten million when your contract with Atrum broke?"
"I spent it all on jewels!" Marsia was on her knees, dogzeaing, "I was so in depth when I was learning how to carve into jewels that I spent all my money into it by accident?"
"Oh?" Kirei looked at Marisa, "That's why Rin stayed up the whole night yesterday. She was muttering something about impossible runes that shouldn't have worked in the first place, and brilliant mind of an idiot. That's why she couldn't go to school today, she was too tired to even walk. If that's the case, than I don't really need any payment."
"Alright." Marisa smiled, and Reimu looked at her.
"Hey, if you spent all your money on jewels, than what are you going to eat?"
"…PLEASE GIVE ME MOKOU'S NUMBER!"
"FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE NO!"
