I took to the skies and began to heat up the air, heating air that passed my wings gently. Instead of igniting it like I previously did. As the air rapidly expanded while passing my wings I sped up quite considerably hitting a comfortable 150km/h with a small amount of mana.
Once I was high enough I began to observe the city for anything I might recognize.
It took me an hour to find Ryouji temple. Oh, wait it was Ryuudou Temple, not Ryouji.

I hid my wings before entering the temple.
"Hello?" I called out. "Anyone home?" Complete silence answered me.
I slowly passed the gate and began to walk towards the temple.
Hmm.

As I entered the stairs I called out again.
This time there my call was returned by something crashing.

I waited for a few minutes before a Bald man slid the door open.
"Who comes here at this time of the night?" he said staring at me.
"Oh please forgive me. I'm sorry for bothering you but I don't really have anywhere to go right now. May I stay here?"
"Sorry kid we are not taking in residents at this time. Where are your parents anyway? There must be quite worried about you."
Unfortunately, I don't have access to the Kaleidoscope. So I can't return. Home yet. The grail, however, should be able to return me home considering Zelretch was one of its creators.
"My parents are not in this world!"
The monk stared at me as if searching for something before he relented. "Fine, but you can't stay here for free. Since you can't pay, you have to pitch in with the housework if you want to stay got it?"
"Excuse me, if it's about money..." I pull out a wad of 5 ten thousand yen bills and show it to him. "Will this be enough for the month?"
The money disappeared from my hands in an instant. I looked at my empty hands confused.
What? I didn't sense any magic at all.
That was pure speed.
I looked towards the man to finds him counting the 5 Thousand yen Notes over and over again as if he couldn't believe it. before he Pocketed it.
"Alright, kid you can stay. Come on I want to sleep already. Let me show you to your room."
The man led me to a fairly decent sized room with a futon and a rack for clothes.
"There is an onsen in the back if you want.. Feel free to use it. Night. " He said before slamming the door shut as he left.
"Well, I suppose it's time to begin."
I took out my Quill and pot of ruby ink and began to write magical formulas around the room.
Sound nullification.
Alarm.
Magical Anti-scrying.
Then Charged those runes with a bit of magic to activate them and gave them enough to last for around a week.
And Finally at the bottom a large formula to collect Mana from the Leylines beneath the mountain in and begin to store it. Then I connected it to my king piece so that I Mana would be sent to me at a slow rate just enough to slowly Increase my reserves until they are full then the rest of the mana would be continued to be sipped and stored within the Rune until such a time I wanted more mana and sent a signal which, in turn, would begin to fill up my reserves in seconds from the stored mana. I could also send Shirone mana when I summon her.
Speaking of Shirone, better summon her once my reserves are filled. For now, however, had a Pepperoni and coke before going to sleep in the provided futon.
