Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 5

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>Okay... so we came here, but how do we go back ?
>Try to shyfully signal to one of the people sitting.

Bastet-chan:

>"We need your help, Miss Aya went missing !"

Kiku-chan:

>"Sorry Young Mistress, maybe another time."
>Once we go back:
>"...toy ?"

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>Don't add the 'maybe another time' part.

Daiko:

>Continue monitoring.

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>Okay... so we came here, but how do we go back ?
>Try to shyfully signal to one of the people sitting.

> You... don't really know... It seems you didn't planned this very well...
> You try to beckon one of the four people that are watching the girl in the middle of the open area, but they don't seem to notice you.

Bastet-chan:

>"We need your help, Miss Aya went missing !"

> "I know." Hatate replies.
> "Oh?" Alice expresses. "Do you know something about that?"
> "Why aren't ya searching for your eternal love?" Marisa laughs.
> "First of all... she isn't my lover; second... I don't know why she disappeared so suddenly, but maybe it has something to do with the fight we had?" Hatate says while shrugging.

Kiku-chan:

>"Sorry Young Mistress, maybe another time."
>Once we go back:
>"...toy ?"

Kiku:

>Don't add the 'maybe another time' part.

> You exit the room, leaving Flandre there.
> Sakuya follows you.
> "I'll be back in a moment, young lady."
> Flandre only nods and Sakuya closes the door.
> "Sorry about that. Lady Flandre is... someone special..."

Daiko:

>Continue monitoring.

> So far, Aya doesn't seem to be blocking you. That, or is that she didn't noticed you yet.
> The place where all the crowd is in a road. Maybe near the Human Village?
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>Approach them just a bit.

Kiku-chan:

>"Huh ? How is that ? She seems so cheerful."

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>"Though the remark about toys was..."

Daiko:

>Try to imagine being there.

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"Huh ? How is that ? She seems so cheerful."

Kiku:

>"Though the remark about toys was..."

> Sakuya nods. "She is very nice... but she can't control her powers."

Niji-chan:

>Approach them just a bit.

> As you approach, one of them notices you. It's a girl with two ghost tails.
> "Hm?" She looks at you.
> The grey haired girl turns her head to you as the tailed one do so. "Oh?" She beckon you, smiling.

Daiko:

>Try to imagine being there.

> You try to imagine yourself in there.
> ...
> You have the feeling of hearing people arguing and shouting, as if you are in middle of the crowd of people.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>Fidget shyfully, then slowly approach, looking away.

Kiku-chan:

>"Uh... can't the Mistress just teach her ? They are siblings after all."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Look around.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Look around.

> You feel you have more "freedom" in your future-sight than before, making you able to see from different angles.
> You can only see the crowd surrounding you.
> You can hear someone is crying.

Niji-chan:

>Fidget shyfully, then slowly approach, looking away.

> You approach shyfully.
> The girl that beckoned you approachs too.
> "Hello. Who are you?" She asks in a low tone, still with her warm smile.

Kiku-chan:

>"Uh... can't the Mistress just teach her ? They are siblings after all."

> "Aside of their not-so-good relationship, the young mistress is so childlish that she don't hear about those things so often." Sakuya replies.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>Low tone: "Uhm... i'm Niji... from Daiko-kun's family..."
>Flap our wings.

Kiku-chan:

>"Is there no one she would listen to ? Maybe a maternal figure."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Locate the cries.

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>Low tone: "Uhm... i'm Niji... from Daiko-kun's family..."
>Flap our wings.

> "Oh? Are you friend of him?"

Kiku-chan:

>"Is there no one she would listen to ? Maybe a maternal figure."

> "Meiling is the most closest to that maternal role. Even then, the young mistress is just a child, and she wants to play... and if you can imagine it, you know why she can't play like she wants to..."

Daiko:

>Locate the cries.

> You try to locate the cries between all of the people.
> It's... a heartbreaking sound...
> Soon, you find that the crying is out of the crowd of people.
> You can see a woman with purple and brown hair standing near someone who, apparently, is hugging someone lying in the snow. Kanako, Suika and even Reimu are there, silent.
> You... think you get an idea on what's happening...
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>!
>"I-I gotta get out of here and stop this! Fast! At least warn someone. Argh! How do I get out of this place!"
> Try flying up the way we came from.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>!
>"I-I gotta get out of here and stop this! Fast! At least warn someone. Argh! How do I get out of this place!"
> Try flying up the way we came from.

> The last thing you see before starting to fly up is that Kyouko is the one embracing... ... the body of Mystia.
> You start to fly towards the direction you think you fell.
> You can see a crack to the distance.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Head towards the crack asap!

[Tashi]

>Head towards the crack asap!

> You pass through the crack as soon you are near it.
> You appear in your bedroom.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"SAKURAAA!!!"
>Head out of our room.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"SAKURAAA!!!"
>Head out of our room.

> You exit your room, calling for Sakura.
> You receive silence as an answer.
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>Make a run for the village !

Niji-chan:

>Nod shyfully.
>"I'm his sister..."

Kiku-chan:

>"I see... but i can't let this be..."

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>Make a run for the village !

> You exit your home hurriedly.
> Everything seems to be fine in the village...

Niji-chan:

>Nod shyfully.
>"I'm his sister..."

> She tilts her head. "Sister? Isn't he a human?"

Kiku-chan:

>"I see... but i can't let this be..."

> "Do you propose something?"
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Um, he isn't human, he is an youkai hybrid... and i'm adopted..."

Kiku-chan:

>"Isn't there any way you can limit her abilities ? Maybe ask Miss Reimu for that."

Daiko-kun:

>Head up and look around, then look for Mystia's stand.

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"Um, he isn't human, he is an youkai hybrid... and i'm adopted..."

> "Oh, I see..."
> You can feel some kind of energy from the girl in the middle of the outside space...

Kiku-chan:

>"Isn't there any way you can limit her abilities ? Maybe ask Miss Reimu for that."

> "That's not an option." Sakuya says. "If she tries that, the young mistress might attack her and... ..." Sakuya closes her eyes. "There must be a way where she can control better her powers... and be more careful..."

Daiko-kun:

>Head up and look around, then look for Mystia's stand.

> You fly until you are above the village and can see everything from it. Nothing seems unnusual.
> When you look for Mystia's stand, you notice isn't where it always is, but near the forest.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Turn to the girl in the middle.

Kiku-chan:

>"I'm sure we will figure it out..."

Daiko-kun:

>Head there !

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>Turn to the girl in the middle.

> When you look at her, you can see some kind of white aura enveloping her.
> For a moment, you think you saw her hair becoming white.
> "S-She's..." The girl with you mumbles. "C-Crown Prince..."

Kiku-chan:

>"I'm sure we will figure it out..."

> Sakuya open her eyes and nod. "So... What do you think?"

Daiko-kun:

>Head there !

> You fly to Mystia's stand.
> It seems it's closed, as always at this hours of the day.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"What is going on ?"

Kiku-chan:

>"I would like to accept it yes, if only for long enough so that we get a stable income."

Daiko-kun:

>Knock on it, if no one answers, head to the youkai mountain.

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"What is going on ?"

> "It's... the Sacred State..."
> The aura suddenly disappears and she starts to pant while standing up.
> "... No use..." She says.
> "C'mon. Don't give up Miko." The blue haired girl says.
> "I have enough for today." Miko sighs.
> "If you keep refusing to practice you'll never achieve that kind of power." The two tailed girl says.
> "I can live with that."

Kiku-chan:

>"I would like to accept it yes, if only for long enough so that we get a stable income."

> "Then..." She hands to you the contract and the pen. "I guess I can say welcome to the Scarlet Devil Mansion?"

Daiko-kun:

>Knock on it, if no one answers, head to the youkai mountain.

> You knock.
> ...
> You are about to fly to the Youkai Mountain, but then you hear a thunk sound from the stand.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"Indeed... Chief Maid."
>Smile and sign it.
>"I'll do my best, now where do we start ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Sacred State... what is that for ?"

Daiko-kun:

>"Mystia ?"
>Investigate !

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"Indeed... Chief Maid."
>Smile and sign it.
>"I'll do my best, now where do we start ?"

> You sign the paper. Welcome to the Scarlet Devil Mansion~.
> You appear in front of a door.
> "This is going to be your room. Your maid outfit awaits in there."

Niji-chan:

>"Sacred State... what is that for ?"

> "It's the maximum ascension towards pureness." The blue haired girl says.
> Miko approaches. "And here goes Seiga's talk..."
> "I'm saying the truth." Seiga giggles. "You have been interested since you heard of it. The Sacred State it's the complete fusion between one self and the inner peace, making a completely stable balance. If someone achieve that kind of power, then his only presence will equal that one of a god." Seiga finishes.
> "I'm just curious, that's all." Miko says and looks at you. "That aside... who are you?"

Daiko-kun:

>"Mystia ?"
>Investigate !

> You call for Mystia and open the stand's door.
> ...
> ... Mystia is in underwear. It seems she is about to wear her usual dress.
> She slowly looks at you.
> "A-Ah..."
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"I-I... uhm.. I'm... N-Niji, Daiko-kun's foster sister..."
>Fidget and flap our wings.
>"S-Sorry to disturb you Miss, i-i was just watching."

Kiku-chan:

>"I see... wait a second, does that mean you took my measurements while i wasn't noticing ?"
>Look surprised.

Daiko-kun:

>"O-Oh !"
>Look away.
>"S-Sorry... i didn't mean..."

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"I-I... uhm.. I'm... N-Niji, Daiko-kun's foster sister..."
>Fidget and flap our wings.
>"S-Sorry to disturb you Miss, i-i was just watching."

> "Hey, no need to worry about." Miko says. "I'm Toyosatomimi no Miko."
> "Mononobe no Futo." The grey haired girl says.
> "Seiga Kaku."
> "I am Soga no Tojiko." The tailed girl presents herself.
> "Yoshika, dear, greet the fairy." Seiga looks at the girl with arms raised.
> She's snoring.
> "Oh dear..." Seiga giggles. "She's Yoshika Miyako."
> Ah, yes... Just like Kokoro said... Mimiko, Monono, Seiga-Nyan, Tojikoko and Yoshi.

Kiku-chan:

>"I see... wait a second, does that mean you took my measurements while i wasn't noticing ?"
>Look surprised.

> "We are always prepared to receive a new maid." Sakuya replies.

Daiko-kun:

>"O-Oh !"
>Look away.
>"S-Sorry... i didn't mean..."

> You look away.
> "I-It's... ... It's okay..."
> Some seconds pass away.
> "O-Okay, you can look now..."
> _
