[Tashi]

Niji Red:

>"Thank goodness light is so fast..."

> Sanae holds tight her gohei and starts to move it around as she closes her eyes.

Niji-chan:

>"Uh... who are you ?"
>Get inside fully.

> You get inside it.
> As you do it, you think that your very presence lights the sphere a bit.
> "Uh? Who are you?"
> You can barely see Rumia.

Kiku-chan:

>"Huh ? Why ?"

> "This are my job clothes, you know? If I'm going to spend the day outside, then I want something more light than this..." Koa giggles a bit. "In fact, you should change too. You can't take with you the maid outfit, right?"

Daiko:

>Look to the voice.

> You look to the owner of the voice. It's Seiga, who is approaching, and is followed by... someone that has her hands straight forward.
> "... I didn't expected you to be here, Hijiri..." Seiga grins a bit.
> "... I didn't came to talk with you, Kaku." Byakuren frowns.
> You can feel how the ambient tenses up...

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Shift a bit uncomfortably.

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>"Ugh... not again..."

Niji Red:

>Watch worriedly.

Niji-chan:

>"I'm Niji, you are Rumia right ?"

Kiku-chan:

>"Right..."
>Head back to our room.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Shift a bit uncomfortably.

> Mystia and Kyouko gives you some concerned looks as you shift.
> "Then for what? What's your business here?" Seiga's happy expression changes to a serious one.
> "None of your concern." Byakuren replies. hardening her expression.
> "Hm..." Seiga does the same.
> "Enough." Miko frowns. "If both of you are going to start a fight, then I humbly ask you to leave this place."
> Byakuren and Seiga doesn't say anything.
> "I thought so."

Tsuru:

>"Ugh... not again..."

> Kira laughs a bit. "It's not your problem, is it?"

Niji Red:

>Watch worriedly.

> You watch as Sanae continues...

Niji-chan:

>"I'm Niji, you are Rumia right ?"

> "Uh-huh" She nods a bit. "How you emanate light, by the way?"

Kiku-chan:

>"Right..."
>Head back to our room.

> You head back your room.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Wait.

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"I'm a fairy of light, so that must be why, why do you have this weird darkness around you ?"

Kiku-chan:

>Change.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Wait.

> "Daddy, Mommy, can we talk?" Kokoro asks.
> "Huh? About what?" Miko tilts her head.
> "About... something. I'd like to talk with you two and the four of us." Kokoro gestures to herself, to you, and to Kyouko and Mystia.
> "... Huh... Alright." Miko starts to walk away.
> "Enjoy your talk~." Seiga laughs a bit as she walks away to other direction. The girl with her arms straight forward follows her.
> Byakuren gives a final disgusted face to Seiga, before following Miko.
> The rest of you do the same, until you are gathered in a room.
> "... Alright..." Miko starts. "What is it?"

Niji-chan:

>"I'm a fairy of light, so that must be why, why do you have this weird darkness around you ?"

> "I like it." She replies. "I can do it easily, too. Look."
> You can't see anymore.

Kiku-chan:

>Change.

> You change to your kimono. You leave the maid outfit in the bed.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Look slightly uncomfortable.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Look slightly uncomfortable.

> You show an uncomfortable expression, prompting Miko and Byakuren to look even more confused.
> "Byakuren-sama... Miss Miko... Uhm..." Kyouko tries to find her words.
> Mystia is silent.
> "Daddy, Mommy... What is a harem, exactly?"
> "A what?" Both of them ask, impressed.
> "Well... I think that's when a boy is followed by a group of girls that like him in a romantic way..." Byakuren explains.
> "What for?" Miko asks.
> "Weeell... I think I'm in one." Kokoro nods.
> And, as Kokoro finishes that sentence, you can see a hilarious process in Miko and Byakuren faces.
> First, they have a confused looks; After some seconds, a thinking expression; Later, a confused one again as they look at everyone in the room; And finally, they finally find a conclusion and have a surprised faces as they look directly at you.
> "... What." They only say.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Look more uncomfortable.
>"I-I want everyone to be happy... And..."

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>"Yeah, he got in this situation somehow, dunno how."

Niji-chan:

>Make an sphere of light to brighten it up.
>"Anyways, Cirno wanted to talk with you, why didn't you stop by ?"

Kiku-chan:

>Go find an Koa.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Look more uncomfortable.
>"I-I want everyone to be happy... And..."

Tsuru:

>"Yeah, he got in this situation somehow, dunno how."

> "S-So you two also like him...?" Byakuren stutters.
> Kyouko and Mystia nod, looking away.
> "... Uhm... I don't really get it..." Miko starts.
> "Uh?" Kokoro tilts her head.
> "Harem is when a guy is being chased by girls... and what? Why all of you want to talk about it? Or I'm missing something relevant?" Miko is confused.

> "Go figure..." Kira says, uninterested.

Niji-chan:

>Make an sphere of light to brighten it up.
>"Anyways, Cirno wanted to talk with you, why didn't you stop by ?"

> You make an sphere of light to see something
> "Hey! Don't do that in my space!" Rumia frowns and changes direction, making you be out of the sphere of darkness.

Kiku-chan:

>Go find an Koa.

> You start to return to the library...

> (Blue) ... Nope. No shiny shell to be seen.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"We...All want to try and have a relationship..."

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Oh sorry !"
>Undo it and get back there.
>"Sooo... what about Cirno ? She was calling for you."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"We...All want to try and have a relationship..."

> Byakuren and Miko jump, with a mix of surprise, confusion.
> "What?!" Miko asks.
> "I-Is that true, Kokoro-chan?!" Byakuren looks at her.
> "Well, I'm not so sure about that..."
> "Kyouko?!" Byakuren gives her a look.
> The yamabiko jumps. "... I-I don't think I have a problem with that, Byakuren-sama..."
> You can see how Byakuren frowns a bit, then looks at Mystia.
> Mystia remains silent.
> Byakuren looks at you.

Niji-chan:

>"Oh sorry !"
>Undo it and get back there.
>"Sooo... what about Cirno ? She was calling for you."

> You make the sphere disappear and you return with Rumia.
> "Huh? Cirno? For what?" She asks.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"We are doing some strange game, wanna take part ?"
>Can we see anything with her ?

Tsuru:

>"Well i can't blame the guy, his soft heart doesn't wanna leave any of them heartbroken."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Look away.

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"We are doing some strange game, wanna take part ?"
>Can we see anything with her ?

> Since you are in the dark sphere, you can't even see a thing.
> "No thanks." Rumia replies.

Tsuru:

>"Well i can't blame the guy, his soft heart doesn't wanna leave any of them heartbroken."

> Kira doesn't reply.

Daiko:

>Look away.

> You look away. You can feel a more severe look upon you...
> Byakuren returns her look to Miko. Miko looks at her as well, as if trying to find a silent agreement.
> Not even a single sound is made in this seconds that pass away.
> "... Fine." Miko says. Her voice tone is different.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Look to Miko.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Look to Miko.

> You look at Miko, who has a serious face.
> "We won't get in your way if you want to do something like that." She says.
> "Indeed. We can't get in the way of what you guys want." Byakuren tone also changed. "If you want to do it, then you are free to do it."
> "R-Really, Byakuren-sama?" Kyouko ears perk up.
> She nods.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Breathe a sigh of relief.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Breathe a sigh of relief.

> You sigh in relief...
> "If that's all, then I'm leaving." Byakuren leaves the room without saying anything else.
> "Me too." Miko follows.
> Kokoro watches as they leave.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"W-Wait."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"W-Wait."

> ... They don't return.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Look down.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Look down.

> You look down...
> "G-Great! See? Everything is okay!" Kyouko smiles.
> Mystia is still silent.
> Kokoro seems to be thinking.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Guess they won't want to see me around anymore..."

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>"Guh..."

Niji-chan:

>"Uhm... would you at least mind taking off this sphere for a second so i can properly see you ? We could go under a tree for it."

Niji Red:

>So ?

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Guess they won't want to see me around anymore..."

> "W-What makes you think that?" Kyouko asks.
> "It's clear that they are upset about this..." Mystia is still looking away.
> "I don't think so..." Comments Kokoro.

Tsuru:

>"Guh..."

> "Pfft. Did you guys really thought you were going to achieve this without any consequences? You really dream a lot." Kira chuckles.

Niji-chan:

>"Uhm... would you at least mind taking off this sphere for a second so i can properly see you ? We could go under a tree for it."

> "I'm used to it." Rumia replies. "I hit a lot of trees."

Niji Red:

>So ?

> She's still going...

> (Kiku) You arrive the library, and you can see Koakuma with a different outfit.
> "Ready." She says with a smile.

> (Bastet) You are about to exit from the Underworld.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Let's... worry about ourselves for now... Should we go back?"
