Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 5

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>"I guess I'll drop it then... I don't want you getting hurt."

> "I'm sorry..." Koa looks down. "Maybe... if you earn enough trust from the Mistress... then maybe she can tell you..."
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"It's alright... but can you at least tell me if it has anything to do with doing something to the Mistress or the Young Mistress ?"

Nijis:

>Follow !
>"So... um... what would you do with that kind of power ? From the Sacred State thing."

Daiko-kun:

>"...look, please don't cry anymore, i can't handle seeing such a nice person like you in this state without being able to help... tears don't go well with your beauty."

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"It's alright... but can you at least tell me if it has anything to do with doing something to the Mistress or the Young Mistress ?"

> Koa looks everywhere, before giving you a quick nod.

Nijis:

>Follow !
>"So... um... what would you do with that kind of power ? From the Sacred State thing."

> "Nothing, I think." Miko shrugs. "I can't find use to something like that, at least me."

Daiko-kun:

>"...look, please don't cry anymore, i can't handle seeing such a nice person like you in this state without being able to help... tears don't go well with your beauty."

> Mystia blush furiously.
> "H-Hey... A-Aren't you with K-Kokoro? Saying such things to other girls might make her angry..."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Sorry..."
>Look down.
>"I-I should get going and try to look for her..."
>Try to future-sight for Disguise!Aya.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Sorry..."
>Look down.
>"I-I should get going and try to look for her..."
>Try to future-sight for Disguise!Aya.

> Mystia nod a bit.
> You try the future-sight with Aya in her disguise.
> ...
> You are in Suzuunan. There's someone with the description Mystia gave you. She's talking with Kosuzu.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Sorry about the whole... situation here, Mystia."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Sorry about the whole... situation here, Mystia."

> "... ... ... I must thank you..."
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"Huh ? But i barely said anything to help..."

Nijis:

>"So... why even work on getting it ? I mean, if i were to work on somethig, it would be to help out others and our family."

Kiku-chan:

>"Oh... wait a... let me take a guess, are you working on making the Mistress more mature-looking ?"

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"Huh ? But i barely said anything to help..."

> "The opposite." She looks at you and smiles a bit. "... Thank you Daiko-kun. Maybe you don't know what I'm talking about, so let's just say that I thank you because something I only know."

Nijis:

>"So... why even work on getting it ? I mean, if i were to work on somethig, it would be to help out others and our family."

> "Like I said, I'm just curious about the so called "Sacred State"... It's not like I'm going to use it so often, because I don't need such power. I can handle things with my current strength."

Kiku-chan:

>"Oh... wait a... let me take a guess, are you working on making the Mistress more mature-looking ?"

> "..." Koa chuckles at the thought. "I can't say anything, Kiku. Hehe."
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"Oh cmooooon, it was a good guess !"
>Pout.

Bastet-chan:

>How are things doing ?

Daiko-kun:

>"...uh... you're welcome ? Just... be safe and don't do anything dangerous, weird things have been happening..."
>Head to Suzunaan.

Nijis:

>"You are cool Miss, we are glad that Kokoro-chan has such an nice person caring for her."
>Smile.
>"Speaking of her... where is Kokoro-chan ? She left when everyone went to bed."

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"Oh cmooooon, it was a good guess !"
>Pout.

> Koakuma starts to giggle.

Bastet-chan:

>How are things doing ?

> Hatate is guiding your group to find this Momiji.

Daiko-kun:

>"...uh... you're welcome ? Just... be safe and don't do anything dangerous, weird things have been happening..."
>Head to Suzunaan.

> When you are going to exit the stand, Mystia stops you by grabbing your arm.
> "W-Wait... ... When you said you had a bad feeling... what exactly you meant?"

Nijis:

>"You are cool Miss, we are glad that Kokoro-chan has such an nice person caring for her."
>Smile.
>"Speaking of her... where is Kokoro-chan ? She left when everyone went to bed."

> "I'd like to know too." Miko frowns. "She just went to bed when she arrived here."
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"I could feel great sadness when i through about you, and that you needed help, why ?"

Kiku-chan:

>Poke her.
>"Well, if that's not it, then it must be a way to make the Mistress stronger, i bet that's why she wanted us to collect energy and had the kappa work on a machine."

Bastet-chan:

>"So this is a tengu house..."

Nijis:

>"Daiko-kun didn't tell us anything either..."

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"I could feel great sadness when i through about you, and that you needed help, why ?"

> "B-But... how...?"

Kiku-chan:

>Poke her.
>"Well, if that's not it, then it must be a way to make the Mistress stronger, i bet that's why she wanted us to collect energy and had the kappa work on a machine."

> Koa giggles even more. "S-Sorry! I-I can't tell you!"

Bastet-chan:

>"So this is a tengu house..."

> There are articles of "Kakashi Spirit News" glued to a wall. There are some articles of "Bunbunmaru Newspaper" too. That part of the house is specially a mess, the desk and the chair full of photos and redactions of articles. The house seems to be fairly big.
> "May I ask since when Momiji lives with you?" Alice asks.
> "We are job partners. We look for each other backs." Hatate replies.
> "That sounds like love to me." Sakura giggles.
> "Whatever you say..."
> Your group go up some stairs and Hatate knocks to one door.
> "Momi." Hatate calls.
> No answer.
> "... ... MOMIJI!" She shouts.
> "I already heard you! No need to shout!"
> Someone opens the door.
> You can see a white haired girl with... ears in it... They are like dog ears. She is wearing pajamas.
> "What is it?" She asks.

Nijis:

>"Daiko-kun didn't tell us anything either..."

> "... I'm going to see her." Miko changes the direction of where you are going a bit. "I want to know what's happening here."
> _

[Monarda]

Nijis:

>Follow her !
>"I dunno... we should let them have their privacy, i know you are also worried, but..."

Kiku-chan:

>Grab and start shaking her.
>"Cmoooooooon ! You are killing me with the curiousity !"

Bastet-chan:

>"Look ! A cute dog youkai !"

Daiko-kun:

>"It's my ability."

[Tashi]

Nijis:

>Follow her !
>"I dunno... we should let them have their privacy, i know you are also worried, but..."

> "I will ask if I can talk with her. If she don't want to, then I'll drop it. It's not like I want to press her to talk by any means."

Kiku-chan:

>Grab and start shaking her.
>"Cmoooooooon ! You are killing me with the curiousity !"

> You shake her, prompting Koakuma to giggle more. "I can't! Ehehe!"

Bastet-chan:

>"Look ! A cute dog youkai !"

> "... A what?" She asks. You can see she has a tail too.
> Hatate holds up her laugh. "They are searching for Aya..."
> "Hm?"

Daiko-kun:

>"It's my ability."

> "Your... ability...?"
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"I inherited the foresight power from my mother, so i can see partially the future and also the current present of a person."

Nijis:

>"Okay..."

Kiku-chan:

>"Awwwww.... cmoooooon ! I will do anything !"

Bastet-chan:

>"A cute dog youkai ! Look, you have the cute ears and even the cute tail !"
>Smile.

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"I inherited the foresight power from my mother, so i can see partially the future and also the current present of a person."

> Mystia blinks a few times. "I-I see..."

Nijis:

>"Okay..."

> Miko and you reach a different door in a different wall. This part seems to be less like the parts you saw before. It's more like your new house.
> Miko knocks. "Kokoro?"
> The door opens up. "Yes?" Kokoro asks.
> You can see that her room is pink.

Kiku-chan:

>"Awwwww.... cmoooooon ! I will do anything !"

> "My lips are sealed~."

Bastet-chan:

>"A cute dog youkai ! Look, you have the cute ears and even the cute tail !"
>Smile.

> Momiji blinks a few times. "... What going on here?"
> Sakura giggles.
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"Something wrong ?"
>Look worried.

Nijis:

>Keep quiet and shyfully stay behind Miko.

Kiku-chan:

>"Well then i guess we won't live that book together."
>Cross our arms and pout.

Bastet-chan:

>Try to pet cute dog girl.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Pause for a moment.
>"I-I didn't see you like this though. I-I didn't know you'd still be... Ugh. I-If I knew, I would've waited before barging in..."

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"Something wrong ?"
>Look worried.

> "Just asking..."
> She lets you go and separates.

Daiko:

>Pause for a moment.
>"I-I didn't see you like this though. I-I didn't know you'd still be... Ugh. I-If I knew, I would've waited before barging in..."

> Mystia shakes her head. "It's okay... It makes me really happy that you are worrying like that for me..." She smiles a bit.

Nijis:

>Keep quiet and shyfully stay behind Miko.

> You cover yourself with Miko. It seems Kokoro didn't noticed you or your clone.
> "Can we talk?" Miko asks.
> "About what?" Kokoro tilts her head.
> "Daikoku."
> Kokoro seems to be thinking for a few seconds, nodding afterwards. "Of course."
> "Come on." She starts to walk again, leaving you at plain sight to Kokoro.
> Kokoro blinks a few times. "I'm seeing two Nijis...?"

Kiku-chan:

>"Well then i guess we won't live that book together."
>Cross our arms and pout.

> Koakuma stops. "H-Hey... I-Is that for real...?"

Bastet-chan:

>Try to pet cute dog girl.

> You raise your arm to pet Momiji, but you aren't close enough.
> "I'm seeing you." Momiji says at your action. "Don't even try."
> "So, what fight Hatate meant?" Alice asks.
> "Oh, that? It's normal. Aya and I, and sometimes Hatate included, fight for some personal things. That, or they fight to know who's better."
> Hatate scratches her head. "But Aya reacted different this time at that defeat. She said something about finding about what the SDM residents are planning." She shrugs.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Frown, then after a while smile and say:
>"Of course not silly ! I'm not gonna stop that just because of a secret."

Daiko-kun:

>"Well, anyone else i know would do the same."
>Smile a bit too.

Nijis:

>"Uh... i discovered that i can split myself and make clones."
>Follow Miko.
>"Cmon."

Bastet-chan:

>"But... they're so cute... pleeeeease ?"
>Give her a pleading look.

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>Frown, then after a while smile and say:
>"Of course not silly ! I'm not gonna stop that just because of a secret."

> Koa sighs relieved.
> "T-Thank goodness... I-I was thinking you were serious..."

Daiko-kun:

>"Well, anyone else i know would do the same."
>Smile a bit too.

> "Of course." Mystia giggles. "Absolutely."

Nijis:

>"Uh... i discovered that i can split myself and make clones."
>Follow Miko.
>"Cmon."

> You follow Miko.
> Kokoro keeps looking at you before following.
> The two yous, Kokoro and Miko arrive to a porch.
> Miko sits down in a pillow in the floor.
> Kokoro sits besides her.

Bastet-chan:

>"But... they're so cute... pleeeeease ?"
>Give her a pleading look.

> "No." Momiji frowns. "And besides, I might bite you if you do something wrong to my ears."
> "Earth calling doggy." Marisa says.
> "Are you trying to pick up a fight?" Momiji barks.
> "Woah!" Marisa steps back. "Chill down!"
> "Stop, you two." Alice frowns. "Can you guys tell us why that fight happened?"
> "None of your concern." Momiji cross arms.
> _

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>Lunge onto the dog girl and hug her !

Kiku-chan:

>"Silly..."
>Giggle.

Nijis:

>Sit down on a appropriate spot.

Daiko-kun:

>"Well... be safe okay ?"
>Depart to our objective.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Please."
>Depart when ready.

[Tashi]

Bastet-chan:

>Lunge onto the dog girl and hug her !

> You lunge from Sakura's back and onto Momiji, hugging her. You and her fall.
> Everyone blinks a few times.
> Hatate starts to laugh.
> "Hey! Get off!" Momiji demands.

Kiku-chan:

>"Silly..."
>Giggle.

> Koa giggles too. "There's the kitchen." She points to a door.

Nijis:

>Sit down on a appropriate spot.

> You and your clone sit besides Miko.
> "... So..."
> "He's a nice guy." Kokoro starts.

Daiko-kun:

>"Well... be safe okay ?"
>Depart to our objective.

Daiko:

>"Please."
>Depart when ready.

> "You too... Daiko-kun..."
> You leave to your next destination: Suzuunan.
> _

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>Gently pet her.
>"But i wanna hug you."

Kiku-chan:

>Head there and enter !

Nijis:

>"Uh huh ! He is a great brother for us !"

[Tashi]

Bastet-chan:

>Gently pet her.
>"But i wanna hug you."

> You pet Momiji, making her blush of embarrassment.
> "I'm serious! Get off or I'll bite you!" She barks.
> "C'mon, don't make such a fuss." Hatate laughs.
> "Aw yeah?" Sakura grabs Hatate and hugs her, sinking her face in one of her breasts. "Then that means you don't have any problem~?"
> "HMM! HMMMM!!" Hatate struggles.
> Marisa now's the one laughing.
> Alice looks away, sighing annoyed.
> Shanghai and Hourai look at each other.

Kiku-chan:

>Head there and enter !

> You enter your destination.
> Gods, now this is a kitchen. Everything is organized and clean in this great kitchen.
> Koa follows you.

Nijis:

>"Uh huh ! He is a great brother for us !"

> Miko looks at you, then returns her look to Kokoro.
> "Is that so?" Miko asks.
> "Yes. He might be... a bit stubborn... since I requested him some time to think and he came anyways... but that's not a bad thing about him."
> "Hmm..." Miko thinks.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Look for some teacups.
>"Mind getting the tea Koa ?"

Bastet-chan:

>"But you are so cute Miss."
>Gently scratch behind her ears.
>"Um... Sakura-sama... that isn't really nice of you, you might make her choke..."

Niji Yellow:

>"He said that was happened last night made him really worried before leaving."

Niji-chan:

>Nod.

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>Look for some teacups.
>"Mind getting the tea Koa ?"

> "I'm on it." Koa starts with your petition.
> You search for teacups, where all are stored on a shelf.

Bastet-chan:

>"But you are so cute Miss."
>Gently scratch behind her ears.
>"Um... Sakura-sama... that isn't really nice of you, you might make her choke..."

> You scratch the tengu wolf ears.
> "T-Tch..." Momiji looks away, trying to push you away from her.
> "Well, she said it wasn't the big deal, so she must be okay."
> "She already stopped moving." Alice adds.
> "Uh?" Sakura looks down, the situation being just like Alice said. "Oh dear." She let go the tengu.
> Hatate falls upside up, breathing heavily.
> "G-Goddammit!" She tries to recover air.

Niji Yellow:

>"He said that was happened last night made him really worried before leaving."

Niji-chan:

>Nod.

> Kokoro looks down. "I guess it's my fault, then..."
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Who wanted tea again ? Remilia and Patchouli ?

Bastet-chan:

>Keep scratching.
>"I told you silly ! And you say you aren't airheaded !"

Nijus:

>"No ! I mean, we have no idea what went on with you two, but both of you definitely had a rough night, Daiko-kun even passed out trying to find his mother."
