Daiko:

>Hand her a coat
>"Hm..."
>What does Tsuru wear, aside from her cape?

[Tashi]

Niji Yellow:

>"Huh ? That's not true, i remember clearly you smiling when you and Daiko-kun first met, just before you left."

> "Oh.. Yes... I forgeted about that..."

Kiku-chan:

>Slowly peek in.

> You give a peek at the room slowly.
> You can see that the room it's a bit of a mess, with working tools here and there. There's a great canvas covering something.

Daiko:

>Hand her a coat
>"Hm..."
>What does Tsuru wear, aside from her cape?

> You give Aya a coat.
> Her clothes are very strange. She wears a black long sleeved blouse, alongside a crimson skirt with suspenders. She has boots and a fedora.

Daiko:

>"Give her your hat Tsuru."
>Swap.

Tsuru:

>Pout and give Aya our hat. Put on a coat too.
>"So."
>Examine Aya and ourself.

[Monarda]

Niji Yellow:

>"And that's not all, you also blushed back at Suzuraan too."

Niji-chan:

>Nod.

Kiku-chan:

>Faintly: "So that's they wanted us to gather energy ?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Give her your hat Tsuru."
>Swap.

Tsuru:

>Pout and give Aya our hat. Put on a coat too.
>"So."
>Examine Aya and ourself.

> You swap.
> You offer your hat to Aya.
> "Wait." She takes off her current coat, which is longer than the one she is going to wear and it might blow her cover. She does the same with her hat. "I'll need to comeback for this..." She puts both things in a table and wears the black coat you gave her; she grabs the hat and wears it too.
> You wear a coat too. This one is a white one.
> You examine Aya and you... Well, at least you changed your appearances a bit. It will take in depth looking at both to recognize you.
> "I guess this might work..."

Niji Yellow:

>"And that's not all, you also blushed back at Suzuraan too."

Niji-chan:

>Nod.

> "Oh... that's true..."
> Kokoro thinks.
> "Also... I'm trying to find ways to express my own emotions without the masks... I guess..." You can see a little smile in Kokoro. "... that Daiko is a great factor there..."

Kiku-chan:

>Faintly: "So that's they wanted us to gather energy ?"

> "I guess so..." Koakuma steps inside the room.
> _

Tsuru:

>"I hope it works... Well, ready?"
>Grab the door handle.

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"I hope it works... Well, ready?"
>Grab the door handle.

> You grab the door knob.
> "Ready." She nods.
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:
>Head out.

[Tashi]

Tsuru:
>Head out.

> You open the door and-
> You are greeted by the presence of Kyouko in front of the door. She has her arms crossed.
> Aya quickly, sticks herself in the wall, out of the sight of the yamabiko.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Look surprised.

[Tashi]

>Look surprised.

> "I just have one question... Where's Daiko?" She asks, frowning.
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>Can we see anyone else around?

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>Can we see anyone else around?

> There's no one else aside of Kyouko.
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>"Is something wrong? Did he do something to you?"

[Monarda]

Niji Yellow:

>"Yeah, Daiko-kun is so nice, he shared a part of his own soul with to let us free."

Niji-chan:

>
"Hey Kokoro-chan, you are smiling a bit now."

Kiku-chan:

>Follow.

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"Is something wrong? Did he do something to you?"

> "I know you are Daiko." She ignores your question. "My eyes didn't tricked me when I saw you change like that. I'm here to tell you that I'll stick with you for a while, like it or not."

Niji Yellow:

>"Yeah, Daiko-kun is so nice, he shared a part of his own soul with to let us free."

> "That's the very best thing he has..." Kokoro nods, still with her smile.

Niji-chan:

> "Hey Kokoro-chan, you are smiling a bit now."

> "I am?" She pauses. "... I guess it can't be helped... It makes me happy..."

Kiku-chan:

>Follow.

> You follow Koa.
> She starts to look around cautiously.
> "So... This is the biggest mystery... ehehe..." Koa laughs nervously.
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>Sigh.
>"Kyouko, Daiko wants to know what's going on. Why are you acting like this against him?"

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>Sigh.
>"Kyouko, Daiko wants to know what's going on. Why are you acting like this against him?"

> "Well I'm not going to act against him anymore, but don't expect me to be a "good girl" with him either."
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>"What are you talking about?"

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"Hey Koa, thabks for doing this just because of me, i promise to not tell anyone else, not even my family if it would get you into trouble."

Niji Yellow:

>"Hehe, you also made wonders to him too, we have to thank you for that."

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"What are you talking about?"

> "Nevermind. Like I said, I'm going to stay with you for a while, so that's all you need to know."

Kiku-chan:

>"Hey Koa, thabks for doing this just because of me, i promise to not tell anyone else, not even my family if it would get you into trouble."

> "No problem." Koakuma smiles.

Niji Yellow:

>"Hehe, you also made wonders to him too, we have to thank you for that."

> "Did I...?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>"Kyouko, this is already very intrusive..."

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"Kyouko, this is already very intrusive..."

> "Trust me. It will be much worse if I tell you my reasons."
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>"How about you tell us before trying to ask us for trust like this."

[Monarda]

Niji Yellow:

>"Daiko-kun had no other friends to rely on after his seclusion period, had it not been for you, he would have gone again in another even more depressive seclusion..."
>Smile and hug her.
>"...you were the ray of hope that my brother needed..."

Kiku-chan:

>Approach the canvas.
>"It looks really big..."

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"How about you tell us before trying to ask us for trust like this."

> Aya is starting to look a bit umcomfortable.
> Kyouko sighs. "You want me to tell everyone that you are covering that pervert reporter?"
> Correction: Aya looks extremely nervous.

Niji Yellow:

>"Daiko-kun had no other friends to rely on after his seclusion period, had it not been for you, he would have gone again in another even more depressive seclusion..."
>Smile and hug her.
>"...you were the ray of hope that my brother needed..."

> You hug Kokoro, who reciprocates.
> "... Thanks..."

Kiku-chan:

>Approach the canvas.
>"It looks really big..."

> You approach to the canvas. You can see a bit of the machine at the bottom.
> "Uh-huh." She nods.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"And you are telling me the Mistress will enter it ? What for ?"

Tsuru:

>Sigh.
>"...let me take a guess, is it something related to Mystia ? We gave her a visit earlier today..."

Nijis:

>"No, we are the ones supposed to be thanking you Kokoro-chan... you make us all happy."
>Is she still smiling ?

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"And you are telling me the Mistress will enter it ? What for ?"

> Koakuma shakes her head. "I can't tell you mo-"
> There's some movement in one side of the room. More exactly, at your left, in a pile of tools.

Tsuru:

>Sigh.
>"...let me take a guess, is it something related to Mystia ? We gave her a visit earlier today..."

> Kyouko is silent for some seconds.
> "... What do you say, then? You want me to follow you quietly, or do you want me to shout you have that tengu in here?"

Nijis:

>"No, we are the ones supposed to be thanking you Kokoro-chan... you make us all happy."
>Is she still smiling ?

> She is.
> "All of you...? How so...?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>"Don't you know Daiko's trying to help others? Are you against giving people second chances or something? Because that's what Daiko needed, and he's trying to make the most of it now. And despite what he already has to deal with, you're trying to give him more? Again, what in the world did he do to you for this?"

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Look over.
>"Who's there ? You better not be an intruder..."
>Head over.

Nijis:

>"Well you are funny, and smart, and nice, and you are also really pretty too, Daiko-kun was really attracted to your eyes and your dance."
