Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 5

[Tashi]

//Happy New Year folks!

Niji Yellow:

>"...you are funny Kokoro-chan."
>Giggle.

Niji-chan:

>Smile.

> "I guess?" She thinks. "Truth or dare?"

Kiku-chan:

>How far are we ?

> You are about to reach the library door.
> "Say..." Koakuma breaks the silence. "What are you going to do for this new year?"

Daiko-kun:

>"No... related to you, please be careful and don't do anything risky okay ?"

> "Risky?" She asks.
> You can hear a bunch of voices coming from the stairs of the temple.

Bastet-chan:

>"Nyo~?"

> "She took photos of so much people, if not all, of the Human Village."
> "And what's the big deal with that?" Marisa asks.
> "Underwear." Momiji says. "Maybe some other nude here and there..."
> _

[Neovereign]

//Happy new year!
Daiko:

>"Hold on a second."
>Try to peek over.

[Tashi]

//Happy new year!
Daiko:

>"Hold on a second."
>Try to peek over.

> You peek a bit and you see a crowd of people going upstairs to the temple.
> _

[Monarda]

//Happy New Year !

Daiko-kun:

>"We should go to another place, this area will soon get crowded it seems..."

Nijis:

>"Truth !"

Kiku-chan:

>"Find someone long lost for a friend, help my family out, explore the world, so many things..."

Bastet-chan:

>"E-Eh ?"
>Look to Sakura-sama.
>"E-Even Sakura-sama ?"

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"We should go to another place, this area will soon get crowded it seems..."

> "What do you mean?"
> Aya approaches.

Nijis:

>"Truth !"

> "You know about... that? If so, how much?

Kiku-chan:

>"Find someone long lost for a friend, help my family out, explore the world, so many things..."

> Koa giggles.
> "To think there's only a month and a half to be a new year in Gensokyo..."

Bastet-chan:

>"E-Eh ?"
>Look to Sakura-sama.
>"E-Even Sakura-sama ?"

> "I don't remember her..." Sakuya says.
> "Maybe you were one of the few luckiest." Hatate says.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Head back and whisper.
>"Stay with me, or you'll be in some trouble. We gotta get going awayfrom here though."
>Do we have our coat on? Any outerwear? If so, hand them to Aya.
>>If we did so: "At least wear this so you'll probablystay more hidden. Uh... Let's get to my house."

Niji:

//She means the lewd, right?
>If so: "About what?"
>Tilt our head.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Head back and whisper.
>"Stay with me, or you'll be in some trouble. We gotta get going awayfrom here though."
>Do we have our coat on? Any outerwear? If so, hand them to Aya.
>>If we did so: "At least wear this so you'll probablystay more hidden. Uh... Let's get to my house."

> You currently don't have your coat.
> "Y-Yeah..." Aya looks nervous. "W-We better do that...

> Someone exits the temple. It's the woman with brown and purple hair.
> "Is something wrong?" She asks to the crowd.
> "We are searching for... a certain reporter." A man says.
> "She's there." Kyouko points to you two.
> Everyone look at Aya, who jolts.

Niji:

//She means the lewd, right?
>If so: "About what?"
>Tilt our head.

> "Deep love." Kokoro tries to be more specific. "... Do I need to say it obscenely?"
> _

//Why the hell I'm making Kokoro such an innocent pervert? Why I like it so much?!

[Neovereign]

Niji:

>Continue looking puzzled.
>"Is that like a love that's underwater?"

Daiko:

>"Alright Tsuru, I'm counting on you to get us outta here..."
>Swap.

Tsuru:

>"Huh! A-Ah! A vanishing act..."
>Try something with our cape to get us and Aya away from this crowd, or at least invisible.

[Tashi]

Niji:

>Continue looking puzzled.
>"Is that like a love that's underwater?"

> "Make babies!" Kokoro says.
> Miko stretches.
> "... Make babies." Kokoro repeats, now with a low tone.

Daiko:

>"Alright Tsuru, I'm counting on you to get us outta here..."
>Swap.

Tsuru:

>"Huh! A-Ah! A vanishing act..."
>Try something with our cape to get us and Aya away from this crowd, or at least invisible.

> This isn't Harry Potter, so don't expect such thing.
> You swap.
> Feast your eyes, Human Village and Temple residents! Time for a trick! You see them...
> You lift your cape, making it cover Aya, who magically disappear. You do the same with yourself.
> ... and now you don't!
> "W-Wha...?" Everyone look around.
> You reappear in the beginning of the stairs to the temple.
> "W-What just happened?" Aya asks.
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>Make a shushing motion and take her hand as we high tail it out towards home.

Niji:
>Stare blankly.
>"So babies come from underwater?" ask with a confused face.

[Tashi]

Niji:
>Stare blankly.
>"So babies come from underwater?" ask with a confused face.

> "Babies come from the girls, not from underwater." Kokoro replies.
> She thinks.
> "... Actually... they come from the man, but girls have them."

Tsuru:

>Make a shushing motion and take her hand as we high tail it out towards home.

> Aya nods, still confused.
> Kyouko is looking at you, but she isn't saying anything to the others, who are still searching for the two that disappeared.
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>Continue onwards and hope that Kyouko doesn't give us out...
_{^{>"What's all that about? Nevermind. Tell me when we get safe."}}

Niji:

>"Huhh?"

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>Continue onwards and hope that Kyouko doesn't give us out...
_{^{>"What's all that about? Nevermind. Tell me when we get safe."}}

> "A-Alright..."
> You continue, and it doesn't seem that Kyouko told them where you are.
> You reach your home's door.

Niji:

>"Huhh?"

> "You want me to explain at more detail?" Kokoro asks.
> _

[Neovereign]

Niji:

>"Okay."

Tsuru:

>Head in with Aya.
>"Alright, so what was that about? Or er, maybe she feels more comfortable around you, since she knows you."
>Swap to Daiko.

[Tashi]

Niji:

>"Okay."

> Kokoro starts to... explain with detail...

Tsuru:

>Head in with Aya.
>"Alright, so what was that about? Or er, maybe she feels more comfortable around you, since she knows you."
>Swap to Daiko.

> You swap.
> Aya blinks. "... Err... It's better if you don't know..."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Guess I have no reason to trust you then, and I should just let them have you, huh?"

Tsuru:

>"Daiko-kun, a thought just now, but would it be possible to bring others back into you? Or even others who haven't came from you first?"

Niji:

>"U-Uhh..."
>Blush intensely.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Guess I have no reason to trust you then, and I should just let them have you, huh?"

Tsuru:

>"Daiko-kun, a thought just now, but would it be possible to bring others back into you? Or even others who haven't came from you first?"

> "N-No! Don't do that!"
> You think if it's possible the re-assimilation others returning with you when you absorb those parts of your soul... ... if you can do that, to begin with.

Niji:

>"U-Uhh..."
>Blush intensely.

> Kokoro nods. "Well. Dare."
> _

[Neovereign]

Bastet:

>"Huhh..."

Kiku:

>We're continuing with the drinks, right?

Daiko:

>"So what's this about then?"

Niji:

> "I-I-I um... I dare you to tell me more about it."

[Monarda]

Niji:

> "I-I-I um... I dare you to tell me more about it."

//Nopenope, nooope,i can see this going wrong real quick."

Bastet-chan:

>"I bet it's because she didn't even see Miss Aya coming, hehe."

Kiku-chan:

>Deliver the tea.

Nijis:

>"Uh... i dare you... to kiss the wall, the floor, and then the ceiling."

[Tashi]

//Oho... Minidingy is joining the army of perverts  :justasplanned:

Bastet:

>"Huhh..."

Bastet-chan:

>"I bet it's because she didn't even see Miss Aya coming, hehe."

> "Maybe..." Sakura says.
> "Even she can take photos of others. So you can't know if she took a picture of yours." Hatate says.
> "I just realized this conversation didn't even gave us a clue of Aya's whereabouts... Talk about luck." Marisa sighs annoyed.

Kiku:

>We're continuing with the drinks, right?

Kiku-chan:

>Deliver the tea.

> You are.
> You enter the library.
> "Finally." Remilia sighs. "Why that took so long?"
> "S-Some inconveniences, mistress... Nothing to worry about..." Koa reassures.
> "Hm... Well then, give me that tea."
> You start to deliver the teas to Remilia, Patchouli and Yuuka, the latter silently sitted down in a chair.
> "Here's your juice, Miss Kurumi." Koa gives it to her.
> "Thanks!" She smiles.

Niji:

> "I-I-I um... I dare you to tell me more about it."

//Nopenope, nooope,i can see this going wrong real quick."

Nijis:

>"Uh... i dare you... to kiss the wall, the floor, and then the ceiling."

> "That's easy." She does so, kissing the ceiling while flying.

Daiko:

>"So what's this about then?"

> "I-It's..." Sigh. "It was a turbid moment of the Bunbunmaru Newspaper... ... I took photos of everyone's underwear in this village."
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"...so... you became one of those perverted publishers ?"

Bastet-chan:

>"I bet Daiko-kun found her already."

Niji Yellow:

>"What about the floor and the wall ?"

Kiku-chan:

>"Anything else Milady ?"

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"...so... you became one of those perverted publishers ?"

> "I-It was a turbid moment of my Newspaper, okay?!" Aya looks away, blushing in embarrasment.

Bastet-chan:

>"I bet Daiko-kun found her already."

> "I hope so... Niji went to the house to told him about it." Sakura says.

Niji Yellow:

>"What about the floor and the wall ?"

> "Oh." She descends and kiss the floor. She repeats with the wall. "There."

Kiku-chan:

>"Anything else Milady ?"

> "Well... Go and help Koakuma with whatever she's doing."
> Koakuma smiles.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"As you wish."
>Smile and turn to Koa.
>"I hope Chief Maid Sakuya starts my training later, there is plenty i must learn."

Daiko-kun:

>"That doesn't mean you had no choice, if you wanna call yourself a reporter, then show people actual news, besides..."
>Cross our arms.
>"If you have a bad name for yourself in the village, doesn't that mean that your sales around here plummet to the ground ?"

Niji Yellow:

>"Wow, you aren't bothered at all ?"

Bastet-chan:

>"Then we shouldn't worry, if he hadn't found her by then, he would be here askong for extra help to look for her."

[Neovereign]

Daiko;

>"The people wouldn't just want to see their own underwear in the news. Geez... Could you imagine what they'd do for revenge if you were caught?"

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"As you wish."
>Smile and turn to Koa.
>"I hope Chief Maid Sakuya starts my training later, there is plenty i must learn."

> "Oh, she's going to train you?" Koa asks.
> "Yes. I told Sakuya to give her some advice on how to do this things." Remilia replies, uninterested.

Daiko-kun:

>"That doesn't mean you had no choice, if you wanna call yourself a reporter, then show people actual news, besides..."
>Cross our arms.
>"If you have a bad name for yourself in the village, doesn't that mean that your sales around here plummet to the ground ?"

> "I-I'm a reporter, you know!" She looks at you. "And that... m-might be true... but I did that not to raise the views from the Human Village, but from the rest of Gensokyo..." She looks down. "I-I know it was a bad idea, okay? I was... a bit desperate..."

Daiko;

>"The people wouldn't just want to see their own underwear in the news. Geez... Could you imagine what they'd do for revenge if you were caught?"

> "I-I already imagined that... But someone already did that, so..."

Niji Yellow:

>"Wow, you aren't bothered at all ?"

> "Why would be? It's cleany here." She replies.

Bastet-chan:

>"Then we shouldn't worry, if he hadn't found her by then, he would be here askong for extra help to look for her."

> "Still, we have to be sure and ask Sanae if she can help us." Alice recommends.
> "The faster we ask for her help, the quicker I can return to home." Marisa says.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"What?"

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"Then tell me, how much did they grow after you did that ?"

Niji-chan:

>Pet Kokoro.

Bastet-chan:

>"Wow Miss Marisa, you are really lazy huh ?"

Kiku-chan:

>"So what now Koa ?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"What?"

> "You know... I showed the underwears of a large amount of people from the village... but I never posted any name or such, so the ones that owns those underwear only know they were taken in pictures; but yesterday someone left me in complete underwear... at plain sight of ALL the Youkai Mountain!"

Daiko-kun:

>"Then tell me, how much did they grow after you did that ?"

> "At least a 50% more." Aya replies. "But it was only for a couple of days..."

Niji-chan:

>Pet Kokoro.

> You pet Kokoro.
> "One last time... Truth or dare?"

Bastet-chan:

>"Wow Miss Marisa, you are really lazy huh ?"

> "I'm not lazy, i'm-"
> "Super lazy." Alice interrupts.
> "I was dragged here even if I didn't wanted to."

Kiku-chan:

>"So what now Koa ?"

> "I could teach you how to use that magic I showed you." Koa smiles.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"T-Teach me magic ?! But... i have zero idea on how to start..."

Daiko-kun:

>"And why did she or he do that ?"
>Sigh.
>"And let me guess... the views stagnated or maybe even dropped again ?"

Nijis:

>"Dare !"

Bastet-chan:

>"Because we need as many people as we can ? And if you resisted we could have always had Sakura-sama drag you here literally."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Frown seriously.
>"Okay, that's too far. That's not just a short picture or something. ...Who was it? How do they look?"

Tsuru:

>"Wait, are you gonna try and get back at them or something?"

Daiko:

>"It's way more of a crime than what she did Tsuru. I can't just let them get off free with something like that."
