How Do You Deal? - Miroku
The Gray Hood materialized in a small valley, with a waterfall and a big basin below it. The basin was filled with jars and above it all swirled a steam that made everyone who inhaled it relax.
"...A przed nią bieży baranek, a nad nią lata motylek...!" sang a bunch of obviously aged voices from the direction of a small hut hidden under one of the cliff walls.
The voices were also obviously drunk and off-key.
The Gray Hood stared at the hut for a moment, before he turned towards the jars. A young man was there, picking up a big vessel to dip it in one of the jars and scoop some of the liquid inside. The man wore a black and purple robe of a monk and the Gray Hood smiled before approaching.
"Monk Miroku?" he called out, causing the man to straighten his back and look his way. "How do you deal? With the covid situation, I mean."
Miroku sighed and looked down at the vessel he held. "Uh, as you can see, our gang split up for the duration of the lock down. We can't go and search for the shards or Naraku, so we decided it'd be best."
"...Hej, hej sokoły, omijajcie góry, lasy, doły!..." intoned a hoarse voice, a chorus of others quickly joining in.
"What is that?" the interviewer asked, looking back towards the hut. Miroku sighed.
"It's a rather sad, tragic story, actually," he explained. "I went to my master to make sure he was healthy. Before the total lock down hit the land, Totosai and Myouga came over and seduced my master to come here, to the Master of Potion's hidden haven of enlightenment. Since they mentioned sake..."
"Hey, Miroku, where's the booze?" called a voice from within the hut. The young monk sighed.
"And now I can't leave and go stay locked down in a place with pretty girls. All I have is a bunch of old drunkards. Such is the fate of the unlucky..."
He walked towards the hut, the Gray Hood shrugging before turning to the audience.
"As you all can see, Miroku is as fine as the one punished by karma for his various misbehavings could be. Also the elders of wisdom are doing well..."
"...Don't puke on the onigiri...!" yelled a horrified Miroku from inside of the hut. One could easily hear Mushin, Myouga and Totosai cackling while someone else was adding a new kind of icing on the food.
"...And, as you can see, our quest to find the rest of the inu gang is continuing!" the Gray Hood pretended he haven't heard anything.
A/N: So, all the quotes in Polish are from famous 'drunk songs'. If you want to check them out, here's the list. I know I could've just looked up English 'drunk songs', but when I imagined this entry they sang in Polish.
'Baranek' by Kult
'Hej sokoły'
