Kiku-chan:

>"Wha ?"

V. Daiko-kun:

>"Wha... the mask just appeared out of nowhere here !"

Niji Golden:

>"I'm great, what are you doing here ?"

Niji Blue:

>"Did you ask her that ? Plus i don't think she is your friend if you don't return something that belongs to her."

Niji-chan:

>"Cmon, you can do it, slowly with me, Yuu, Yuuuuu."
>Nod.
>"Try it now, Yuu."

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"Wha ?"

> Kokoro grabs it. "... What...?" She mumbles.
> "I-Is that your mask?" Mystia asks.
> "It seems so..." Kyouko nods.

V. Daiko-kun:

>"Wha... the mask just appeared out of nowhere here !"

> "Hm?"

Niji Golden:

>"I'm great, what are you doing here ?"

> "I was looking for Keine. I thought if I waited near the school I would see her... but to no avail..."

Niji Blue:

>"Did you ask her that ? Plus i don't think she is your friend if you don't return something that belongs to her."

> "Nah." Koishi starts to touch objects of the house, with curiosity.

Niji-chan:

>"Cmon, you can do it, slowly with me, Yuu, Yuuuuu."
>Nod.
>"Try it now, Yuu."

> "Y... ... Y... u..." Yuudachi looks down, defeated.

V. Daiko-kun:

>"Her mask just... appeared in front of her like a miracle..."

Kiku-chan:

>"But how ?!"

Niji Golden:

>"Huh ? For what ?"

Niji Blue:

>"Hey watch it ! You might break something ."

Niji-chan:

>"You can do it dear ! Cmon again, Yuu... Yuu..."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Huh..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"I-Is that it?"

Kiku-chan:

>"But how ?!"

> Kokoro just shrugs subtly.

V. Daiko-kun:

>"Her mask just... appeared in front of her like a miracle..."

> "... What...?"

Niji Golden:

>"Huh ? For what ?"

> "I just want to see her... and her to see me, ehehe..."
> Sakura gestures to herself.

Niji Blue:

>"Hey watch it ! You might break something ."

> Koishi then pokes a flower vase a bit too hard, making it fall.
> "Ah!"
> ...
> Koishi was able to catch it in time.
> "... ... Safe!" She raises it victoriously, but since she was grabbing it horizontally, all the water and the flowers fall.
> "... Uh... ... Sorry." She blinks.

Niji-chan:

>"You can do it dear ! Cmon again, Yuu... Yuu..."

> "... Yu... .... u..."
> Everyone is looking at both of you.

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

Niji-chan:

>"You are almost there !"
>Smile.

Niji Golden:

>"Huh, talk about a show-off."
>Shrug.
>"Anyways, would you mind if i brought some homeless fairies to our home ?"

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Okay. This has been the library everyone. Let's move on."
>Start heading out of the library.

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"That goes to show hope never leaves us..."

> "... I-I don't feel anything in it..." Kokoro mumbles. "W-Why?" She shakes the mask, as if trying to make it "work". "C'mon. Do it." She keeps at it. "C'mooon..."

Daiko:

>"Okay. This has been the library everyone. Let's move on."
>Start heading out of the library.

> You start to leave the library, and since you are grabbing Kokoro's hand, she follows you. Kokoro just keeps shaking the mask.

Niji-chan:

>"You are almost there !"
>Smile.

> "... Yuu..."
> "... She did it?" Hime asks.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"You have the mask Kokoro. That's a good bit. It seems like we have to restore it or something... Would you mind if I tried to transfer energy into it?"
>Ponder if we even could, from our horn to a mask...

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"You have the mask Kokoro. That's a good bit. It seems like we have to restore it or something... Would you mind if I tried to transfer energy into it?"
>Ponder if we even could, from our horn to a mask...

> Well, it seems that your horn and the masks are vessels for energy... so it might me possible.
> "Would that restore it?" Kokoro looks at you.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"I honestly don't know... Would it be better to have it like this than to try?"

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"What will it do once it goes back to normal ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Great job dear !"
>Hug her tightly, but with care.

Niji Golden:

>Nod.
>"They can't get back home, and i don't wanna leave them to sleep in the wild..."

Niji Blue:

>"Uhm... Miss Koishi... why don't you have feelings ?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"I honestly don't know... Would it be better to have it like this than to try?"

> "... Then what's the point in having it?" Kokoro looks at it.

Daiko-kun:

>"What will it do once it goes back to normal ?"

> "... It will give me... hope..."

Niji-chan:

>"Great job dear !"
>Hug her tightly, but with care.

> You hug Yuudachi. She returns it affectively.

Niji Golden:

>Nod.
>"They can't get back home, and i don't wanna leave them to sleep in the wild..."

Niji Blue:

>"Uhm... Miss Koishi... why don't you have feelings ?"

> She puts the flower vase in the table once she gathers the flowers.
> "My eye." She pats the ball near her chest.

[Monarda]

Niji Blue:

>"Huh... and why is it closed ?"

Niji-chan:

>"See ? I knew you could do it dear."

Niji Golden:

>Nod.
>"Thank you ! But um... there is one more thing..."
>Fidget.
>"Uhm... would you please tell them bedtime stories before they go to sleep ?"

[Tashi]

Niji Blue:

>"Huh... and why is it closed ?"

> "Because I closed it."

Niji-chan:

>"See ? I knew you could do it dear."

> "Yuu!" She hugs you more tightly.
> "D'aww..." Almost everyone says.

Niji Golden:

>Nod.
>"Thank you ! But um... there is one more thing..."
>Fidget.
>"Uhm... would you please tell them bedtime stories before they go to sleep ?"

> "... Stories...?" Sakura tilts her head.

[Monarda]

Niji Blue:

>"But why ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Hehe."
>Smile.
>"Next, we will teach you how to walk, and the rest of your name."

Niji Golden:

>"Yeah, like when Daiko's mom was a kid and you told her stories to sleep."

[Tashi]

Niji Blue:

>"But why ?"

> "Because I hate reading minds." She replies. "It's horrible."

Niji-chan:

>"Hehe."
>Smile.
>"Next, we will teach you how to walk, and the rest of your name."

> She nods.
> "You are taking this seriously, aren't you?" Clownpiece says.

Niji Golden:

>"Yeah, like when Daiko's mom was a kid and you told her stories to sleep."

> "Well... how I can say no?" Sakura nods. "I will. It will be a pleasure to do it."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Then I think we should try. I need energy first though."

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>Nod.
>"I wanna make sure she learns things properly to have a good life."

Niji Blue:

>"So Satori are like that huh... but sacrificing your emotions and the ability to think properly... that's just so much..."
>Frown.

Niji Golden:

>"Thank you !"
>Hug that oni !

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Then I think we should try. I need energy first though."

> "Fine." Kokoro nods slightly.

Niji-chan:

>Nod.
>"I wanna make sure she learns things properly to have a good life."

> "You sound like a mother..." Clownpiece says.
> Daiyousei smiles and approches, petting the doll. "It doesn't sound bad for me..."

Niji Blue:

>"So Satori are like that huh... but sacrificing your emotions and the ability to think properly... that's just so much..."
>Frown.

> "I prefer that instead of having to see those horrible memories that someone has to live. It's... depressing..." Koishi looks down.

Niji Golden:

>"Thank you !"
>Hug that oni !

> You hug Sakura.
> "Ow, it's nothing dear..." She returns it.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Fire a shot of danmaku and absorb it's energy.

[Monarda]

Niji Blue:

>"And is that all you see in people ? The negatives ? That so..."
>Look confused.
>"...limited... there isn't just horrible memories you know ? People also have memories they cherish, Daiko-kun has his good shaore of bad ones sure, but he has an bigger number of good memories now, especially now that we have an whole family like that, and now that he got together with Kokoro-chan."

Niji-chan:

>"Having a mother is great, she cares for you and teaches stuff, and does the best she can for your sake."
>Smile.
>"I wanna give her those same things."

Niji Golden:

>"Anyways... i don't think you will have much luck just standing here like an oni scarecrow, shouldn't you ask people for her ?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Fire a shot of danmaku and absorb it's energy.

> You fire a bullet and you absorb it immediately.
> "Hm?" Everyone asks.

Niji Blue:

>"And is that all you see in people ? The negatives ? That so..."
>Look confused.
>"...limited... there isn't just horrible memories you know ? People also have memories they cherish, Daiko-kun has his good shaore of bad ones sure, but he has an bigger number of good memories now, especially now that we have an whole family like that, and now that he got together with Kokoro-chan."

> "But can you stand to see those horrible things?" Koishi looks at you with a frown. "I can't stand seeing how they suffer... I just can't stand those depressing things."

Niji-chan:

>"Having a mother is great, she cares for you and teaches stuff, and does the best she can for your sake."
>Smile.
>"I wanna give her those same things."

> Daiyousei gives some glances to Cirno. "Yea... Hehe."
> Yuudachi smiles brightly.
> "Did you had a mother?" A fairy asks.

Niji Golden:

>"Anyways... i don't think you will have much luck just standing here like an oni scarecrow, shouldn't you ask people for her ?"

> "S-Scarecrow? ... ... I already asked... but people haven't saw her..."
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Golden:

>"Then she must be at that bamboo forest with Miss Mokou."

Niji-chan:

>"I dunno, i can't remember my past life... all i know is that i am from the outside world, i was created by someone, and someone also made this bracelet just for me."
>Smile.
>"Also, she agreed with it, you can all come home until you can return !"

Niji Blue:

>"Then be happy for the good times, look for the times in their childhood where they had fun with other kids, or their time together with their family or their lover, when they achieved a big thing or learned something new."
>Smile and make an light sphere.
>"Life isn't just dark moments like you say, there are the bright ones just like this ball here, whenether there are good times, there will always be bad times, just like there will always be darkness and light, they are two sides of the same coin."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"I'm trying it..."
>Send the energy we absorbed from our horn into Kokoro's hope mask.
