Dear Diary
I've started the mini operation: sate the red and white. After work I basically made a bee line to the Shrine to donate to the Shrine. I'm starting small and making small increments. She was rather suspicious at first asking me tons of questions that I had to dodge artfully, but I guess seeing that crisp dollar.. yen bill got her to lift her suspicions. I need to stay on my toes though. I might be able to keep the red and white at bay, but her roommates? Is that what they are? Let's just call them roommates for simplicity sake, might not be so easily deterred. Everything before that was pretty relaxing. Even with a slightly cloudy skies Flan and I enjoyed the Garden with Meiling, after my Danmaku Sparring session with Flan of course. She's been intensifying her Danmaku lately, I guess I'm sort of improving on my dodging skills? Speaking of improvements I'm getting better at controlling my chi. I can manifest my chi for a couple more minutes now. I still can't do anything with it but eventually I'm sure I can do something with my new chi powers.
Oh also note to self. Find goggles of some kind. Flying fast in the cold weather is making my eyes go super watery.

Glad I wrote that Message at the bottom. First thing I did after work was to go find the illusive Korindou. A shop that sells items from the outside world. It's ran by one guy. Tall and sort of lanky under many layers of clothes. The guy seemed rather curious on how I found the place and I had to dodge the question yet again. What's with these people and asking me a million and a half questions? anyway. It took me a while but I finally found a pair of worn out goggles. I had to dig through tons of vintage junk to find it. The guy explained what it was but I knew it didn't hold any magical value. The guy pretty much ripped me off trying to over sell the stupid thing and I just sort of played his game. Maybe I should teach him a lesson or two on what these items really do. Trying t on for the first time, it was a bit too small for me let alone it fitting over my glasses. Not a problem though. I'll increase the size with Magic tomorrow or something.

I woke up a bit sore today. My only saving grace was Meiling's super chi power to loosen up my muscles and the sunny and mild skies. Too bad she wont teach me actual applications for these chi powers. She's all like "I can only teach you to unlock your potential. What you do with them after wards is up to you." What a load of baloney. It's like teaching someone super basic coding and saying "The advance stuff you need to teach yourself." Well... I'll figure something out. At least she could teach me that muscle relaxing thing... Right the weird green haired girl from last week visited me again today, and this time she came with a demonstration of her power and the shrine's powers. Making miracles happen? Sure I was impressed and I once again turned her down. The girl looked disappointed I don't think this will be the end of her..

Well I did it. I finally managed to do a field test of the Ethereal Shift Spell. I can stay in the Ethereal plane indefinitely if I wanted to. To quickly recap The spell basically lets me open a gate to a sort of a plane with in different dimension. There I can access other dimension. Most importantly though I can move around in this plane without effecting anyone. Well, sort of. Any object on the other side kind of act like those magic putty that the kids play with. You know the thing that you can make with corn starch and water? Where if you apply a rapid force the putty acts like a solid but any slow force it acts like a liquid? So if I punched someone or something as hard as I can, the punch would connect but the object wont feel a thing, but if I slowly walked through them, I can go through them. I actually pulled some prank off some of the fairy maids. You know, like moving their plates when they're trying to plate their meals and what not silly stuff like that. Now I learned the power but I still need to master it. It still takes time for me to cast it even with my catalyst. All in good time.

Oh boy was I ever beat... It must be the Ethereal shift spell that I used. I didn't really feel it yesterday but boy am I feeling it today... It didn't help that I was sparring with Flan and I basically took the hits. She wasn't impressed, and personally I wasn't impressed with myself. I gotta say, there wasn't much to report other than me getting my butt kicked by Flan and going straight to my room to pass out.

Youmu visited me again today, but this time it was a little different. Well for the most part it was the same. Same old grocery runs, same old delivering it to her house. But the different part was at the end. She... Challenged me to a fight. The serious look on her face was intimidating even though she was a tad smaller than me. Oh and her swords looked pretty sharp too... I asked for one week to train and she gave me the go ahead. Thank goodness... I'm still sore from yesterday and now I have to deal with this. You know, I'm pretty sure she'll actually cut me in two if I bail on this fight... I have to actually fight someone... I didn't even ask the terms like the win conditions... or even why she wants to fight me... I'm an idiot... Well at least I have a week to ready myself..

You know, I should have taken this time to start my training. What did I do? I just chilled with Flan in the Library. After what happened this week I think a break isn't a bad idea. Not going to lie.. there's wayy too much for me to juggle around now... the red and white, my job, learning more powers, prepping for the incident, now this fight. What a life...
