"You thief!" A voice yelled. Mikka turned around to see a blond haired fairy running towards her. The fairy was holding a book that was moments before sitting on a market stall's display. Mikka sighed as she tapped her hand. The Sukuna puppet immediately adjusts its helmet upon being summoned. It nods before darting out in front of the fairy. The comically large needle it was holding is now pointed at the fairy. Mikka taped her hand again as she approached the scene.
"Get out of my way!" The fairy yelled. She tries darting around the puppet only to be forced backwards by what is effectively a sword slash. As an added deterrent the puppet fires a danmaku bullet which barely misses the fairy's face.
"Honestly, Clownpiece. I'd expect better from you." Mikka says as she focused on the fairy. The humans in the marketplace had by now scattered looking for a safe place. Clownpiece frowns down at Mikka.
"You're human. A stupid and weak one at that." Clownpiece says as she hovers out of reach of Mikka. Mikka laughs at the statement. The Sukuna puppet nods to itself before firing a burst of danamku at the Clownpiece. The fairy dodges the volley with little effort.
"Such predictable patterns. You honestly think this could stop me?" Clownpiece said as she dodged a second volley. She looked down and laughed.
"I'm not the one being forced to move. Now then." Mikka said as she smirked. She tapped her hand yet again. The Wriggle puppet calmly hovered alongside Mikka now.
"Getting backup won't help. Having two pets just makes this even more fun to use." Clownpiece said as she begun to lift her torch. She pauses upon seeing that Mikka's expression hasn't changed.
"Three. I have three helpers. Get her." Mikka says as she smirks. Clownpiece tilts her head in confusion. She is promptly hit from behind by what could only be described as a fire extinguisher. The force of the impact dazes her enough that she drops the book that she had stolen. Clownpiece turns around to look at her assailant upon getting her wits about her. She shivers upon seeing the multicolored eyes of the Kogasa puppet staring at her. The puppet smiles before spraying the poor fairy with the fire extinguisher. This action not only has the desired effect of putting out Clownpiece's torch but the added effect of knocking the fairy out of the air. Mikka catches the fairy by her collar and glares at her. She puts her other hand out and motions with it. The Wriggle puppet calmly flies up and places the book in her hand. She glances at the title before turning to the fairy and sighing.
"A cookbook. You tried to steal a cookbook." Mikka says in disbelief. Her three puppets stare at the fairy in confusion.
"Impressive. This fairy has been causing trouble for a while now." Kotohime says as she approaches Mikka. Mikka tosses the fairy to her before beginning to walk away. She hands the book back to the stall owner before tapping two of her rings. She looks over her shoulder.
"She's your problem now." Mikka says as she begins walking towards the temple at the edge of the village.
"You're not going to sell things?" The Kogasa puppet asks. Mikka shakes her head no.
"Nope. I'll get around to it later. Due to that fairy's stupidity I don't have time to check if any of the items are missing items or have a reward attached to them." Mikka says as she continues walking. The Kogasa puppet nods before turning towards a bulletin board. Mikka turns to it and pulls a wanted poster off of it. She looks over the info detailing Clownpiece before folding it up and putting it in her bag.
"Five thousand yen? Not exactly public enemy number one." The Kogasa puppet wisecracks. Mikka smiles at the puppet.
"I'll pick up that reward when I get around to checking about the items." Mikka calmly says. Her puppet nods in understanding.
