Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 5

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Fly up and keep an eye on her.

> You fly again and start watching her.
> Aya? starts to, indeed, go to the temple.
> You can see Kyouko wiping the floor in front of the shrine.
> _

[Neovereign]

//I think we should either stop Aya as soon as possible, or head off for Mystia. There's still the chance that the situation could be reversed if we head to Mysti, where Kyouko could be grounded. But by stopping Aya, we at least maybe stop whatever that large crowd being angry at her was.

Daiko:

>Descend near Kyouko.

Daiko:

>Descend near Kyouko.

> You start to descend towards Kyouko.
> When she notices you, she frowns and gives you her back, continuing with her job.

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"H-Huh ?! W-Why are you treating me like this ? What did i do ?"
>Look confused.

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"H-Huh ?! W-Why are you treating me like this ? What did i do ?"
>Look confused.

> Kyouko doesn't answer.
> You can hear footsteps coming from the stairs,
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Look over.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Look over.

> When you glance down the stairs, your look meets the one of the mysterious person. Indeed it's Aya.
> "..." She blinks a few times. "Well... Darnit." She curses, sighing.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Look a bit upset.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Look a bit upset.

> "H-Hey... what's with that look?" She asks.
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"I came to you to give you clues about your scoop, and you then just run away like i am some freak, that's what it's for."
>Cross our arms.

[Neovereign]

//She's still in disguise. Probably shouldn't mention the scoop.

Daiko:

>"I wanted to help a bit but you just ran away like I'm some freak."

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"I came to you to give you clues about your scoop, and you then just run away like i am some freak, that's what it's for."
>Cross our arms.

//She's still in disguise. Probably shouldn't mention the scoop.

Daiko:

>"I wanted to help a bit but you just ran away like I'm some freak."

> "Just don't tell anyone this, okay? I don't want them to find me yet."
> "Can you guys get out of here?" Kyouko says, with a remarkable tone of annoyance. "I'm trying to clean, you know."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"S-Sorry..."
>Start heading to Aya?
>"I won't,"
>Nod.

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"Now may we go to a more private place ?"

Others:

>How have we been doing ?

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"S-Sorry..."
>Start heading to Aya?
>"I won't,"
>Nod.

> You go downstairs to approach Aya.
> Kyouko continues.
> Aya accomodates her hat and coat, letting her face look less.

Daiko-kun:

>"Now may we go to a more private place ?"

> Aya nods.

Others:

>How have we been doing ?

> The two Nijis are still with Kokoro and Miko, the latter seemingly asleep.

> Momiji is petting you, wishing that like that you get off her.

> You and Koa are cleaning the tea you poured badly in the floor.
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"Cmon, let me take you to our home."
>Head there.

Bastet-chan:

>Purr and enjoy.

Niji Yellow:

>"Hey Kokoro-chan, do you know anything about this bracelet ?"
>Show it to her.

[Neovereign]

//Whoa Whoa! Wait a second!

[Neovereign]

Daiko-kun:

>"Cmon, let me take you to our home."
>Head there.

//This is too much! It'd sound like we're in a relationship with her. Maybe we should head for Suzunaan or something? Just something that doesn't make any implications.

Daiko:

>When we're out of range of others so that we're not overheard.
>"So, about the investigation...?"

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"Cmon, let me take you to our home."
>Head there.

Daiko:

>When we're out of range of others so that we're not overheard.
>"So, about the investigation...?"

> You and Aya go to a side of the Temple, out of the sight of anyone.
> "..." She makes sure you and her are alone with her look. "I'm trying to find what's happening in the Scarlet Devil Mansion while I search for information for those mysterious tremors."

Bastet-chan:

>Purr and enjoy.

> "Grr..." Momiji looks away. "There. Now can you get off?"

Niji Yellow:

>"Hey Kokoro-chan, do you know anything about this bracelet ?"
>Show it to her.

> "Uh?" Kokoro looks at it. "... No. I never seen a bracelet like that..."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"I know a bit about it."
>Were we told anything about keeping the tremors story a secret?

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"I know a bit about it."
>Were we told anything about keeping the tremors story a secret?

> Nobody told you such thing.
> "I'm also trying to find if both things are connected."
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"That i am not sure... but i can tell you some about the Scarlet Mansion."
>Nod and look around.
>"You see, they recently recruited some kappas to work for them, and turns out they were building an sort of machine for god knows what, all i know is that it's very big, and seems to be able to fit one person inside it."

Bastet-chan:

>"But i wanna stay with you..."

Niji Yellow:

>"Aw..."

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"That i am not sure... but i can tell you some about the Scarlet Mansion."
>Nod and look around.
>"You see, they recently recruited some kappas to work for them, and turns out they were building an sort of machine for god knows what, all i know is that it's very big, and seems to be able to fit one person inside it."

> "I already know about that machine." Aya says proudly. "My infiltration was a success, you know... I even found some blueprints to make that machine possible." Aya looks at the surroundings again. "If my thoughts are correct, and according to the blueprints, then that machine has some kind of channeling and a send off."

Bastet-chan:

>"But i wanna stay with you..."

> Eveything goes silent...
> "... What?!" Momiji jolts.
> "Huh. That sounds really... intriguing..." Hatate grins.
> "Maybe are the use of the words to make it seem like that..." Alice says.

Niji Yellow:

>"Aw..."

> "Want to do something? I'm bored."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Hm..."
>Try to imagine that person we saw before with the machine.

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>"Yeah, you are cute, and your petting feels nice."
>Smile.

Nijis:

>Nod.
>"What ?"

Daiko-kun:

>"You know... that idea of Akyuu now definitely has some ground now..."

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"You know... that idea of Akyuu now definitely has some ground now..."

> "What idea?" Aya asks.

Daiko:

>"Hm..."
>Try to imagine that person we saw before with the machine.

> Details please. (AKA the parser needs to remember.)

Bastet-chan:

>"Yeah, you are cute, and your petting feels nice."
>Smile.

> Momiji stops. "Seriously, can you please get up?"

Nijis:

>Nod.
>"What ?"

> "I don't know... Anything in mind?"
> _

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>Nod and do so.

Daiko-kun:

>"That Remilia ordered to build that machine to make her look more mature."

Nijis:

>"Um... how about Truth or Dare ?"

[Neovereign]

//Regarding Kiku. Since we're already split up, we should ask Patchouli about gaining energy, as they talked about before. Having Daiko come over and mentioning Tsuru whom has might have more energy/soul? could be useful as well. It might get Kiku on Remilia's good side, and who knows? It might even tie in with what she's planning to do.

>Found the details

[Tashi]

Bastet-chan:

>Nod and do so.

> You stand up.
> "Finally..." Momiji stands up with difficulty. "Oww... my butt hurts..."

Daiko-kun:

>"That Remilia ordered to build that machine to make her look more mature."

> "..." Aya thinks. "... And why you think she wants something like that?"

>Found the details

> You start to imagine again that kappa you used in your future-sight.
> ...
> You can see the great canvas covering something big. The group of kappas are there too.
> Remilia is there, watching it with a strange, yet somewhat happy face...

Nijis:

>"Um... how about Truth or Dare ?"

> "Okay."
> _

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>"Sorry..."

Daiko-kun:

>Focus less to avoid detection and try to shift point of views, and listen in.
>"Because she is rather obsessed with looking menacing and powerful from what i could see."

Nijis:

>"You start !"

Kiku-chan:

>We done ?
