Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 5

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"...looks like you will grow into an fine magician Tsuru."

Tsuru:

>Grin at that though.
>"Did you use your ability on me ? Oh well..."

Kiku-chan:

>Retreat in a backwards-left direction so that we have more time to dodge the pattern, weave through any stray knifes, then once we clear it head forwards still weaving through leftovers.

Niji-chan:

>"I-I made you using all the colors right ? So why are you golden and not white ?"

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Try to absorb that energy.

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"...looks like you will grow into an fine magician Tsuru."

Tsuru:

>Grin at that though.
>"Did you use your ability on me ? Oh well..."

Daiko:

>Try to absorb that energy.

 > You try to absorb that strong and delicious energy you are seeing.
> It doesn't work.

Kiku-chan:

>Retreat in a backwards-left direction so that we have more time to dodge the pattern, weave through any stray knifes, then once we clear it head forwards still weaving through leftovers.

> You move backwards but you can't since you hit the lower part of the screen to make yourself more time to notice gaps. The knives, as they traverse more space, start to slowly separate of their X forms, which you take as an advantage to dodge between them in the less crowded place with those lethal objects.
> "If they are real. then encourages one to be able to dodge them as fast and with much elegance as possible. After all, it's your own life depending at your reflexes now." Sakuya throws more knives.
> This time they have no pattern; It's just knives raining at you. It's much thicker, however.

Niji-chan:

>"I-I made you using all the colors right ? So why are you golden and not white ?"

> "Maybe because the light you absorbed? I don't really know either..." She replies.
> "I don't really understand what you two are talking about..." Byakuren grabs her cheek.

Daiko:

>Try it the other way. If we tried with our vision, try with ourself. If we tried ourself the first time, try with our vision self.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Try it the other way. If we tried with our vision, try with ourself. If we tried ourself the first time, try with our vision self.

> You try to absorb the energy with your vision self.
> ... For some reason, you hesitate.
> Those energies in that ball of light... are like the ones of the souls of Kiku, Bastet, Niji, and even Tsuru herself... but there seem to be other energies in it, too...
> You don't know if Tsuru didn't even noticed you, or if she is an extremely good actress.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Stop the futuresight.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Stop the futuresight.

> You stop.

> "So... Where do we go?" Sakura asks.
> "... I-I don't really remember the path to going into the deeps of this cave..." Aya looks to the side.
> "Well, this is great!" Kyouko says with sarcasm.
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"Should we go back and ask Suika then ?"

Kiku-chan:

>Evaluate and scan for the spot with the least danmaku.

Niji-chan:

>"About why are her wings golden."

[Neovereign]

//We're Tsuru right now.
Tsuru:

>"Seems Daiko got to slip away easily in the dark."

Daiko:

>"Oh, you're gonna trick her huh..."

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"Should we go back and ask Suika then ?"

> "H-Huh?" Aya questions.
> "That's Daiko's voice?" Asks Kyouko.
> Sakura giggles."It seems."

//We're Tsuru right now.
Tsuru:

>"Seems Daiko got to slip away easily in the dark."

Daiko:

>"Oh, you're gonna trick her huh..."

> "Uh... Whatever." Aya sighs.

Kiku-chan:

>Evaluate and scan for the spot with the least danmaku.

> There's no pattern here, so you hope to find a spot with the least quantity of knives.
> You think you find one. It's going to be an entrance to it in your right in about two seconds.

Niji-chan:

>"About why are her wings golden."

> "Isn't she a clone like the others?" Kokoro asks, still caressing the sheep's fur. "Why are you so surprised?"
> The sheep makes a sound.
> "Yeah, I think so sheep."
> _

[Neovereign]

//Aww come on. I was gonna fake Daiko disappearing and you spoke as him :c

Tsuru:

>"Er, nevermind..."
>Sigh.

[Tashi]

//Aww come on. I was gonna fake Daiko disappearing and you spoke as him :c

Tsuru:

>"Er, nevermind..."
>Sigh.

> "... Then? What's the plan?" Kyouko asks. "This place feels wet and... yucky..."
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Get in position to go right through it once it opens.
>Do so if there are no issues.

Niji-chan:

>"I used all the colors of the rainbow though, so she should have been white right ?"

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>"I have no idea why you'd recommend going back to ask Suika though. You can ask her from here."

Daiko:

>"Oh... Right..."

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>Get in position to go right through it once it opens.
>Do so if there are no issues.

> You make your way barely to the aperture.
> You stand there, dodging what are some easy knives.
> Sakuya smiles a bit. "Good..."
> You can see that Sakuya brings out a paper from her pockets.
> "Let's get to what it's really worth it."

Niji-chan:

>"I used all the colors of the rainbow though, so she should have been white right ?"

> "Obviously..." Byakuren comments. "... ... Hm... What if you, instead of using all of your colors, you used them to make another color, along with the energy you absorbed?"
> "And you still have the seven colors... so..." Kokoro says.

Tsuru:

>"I have no idea why you'd recommend going back to ask Suika though. You can ask her from here."

Daiko:

>"Oh... Right..."

> "... You know what? Screw it." Aya starts to descend to the floor of the cave. "Let's find it for ourselves.
> "Hey, Tengu!" Kyouko calls.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Sigh.
>"Even spellcards ?! Geez, if i knew it would have been this rough i would have stayed with Koa a bit more..."

Niji-chan:

>"Hm..."
>Try focusing a bit of all our colors into one to make White.

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>Sigh.
>"Even spellcards ?! Geez, if i knew it would have been this rough i would have stayed with Koa a bit more..."

> "As far as I know you don't know how to deal with a spellcard, since it's your first time with this, isn't it?"
> Sakuya holds her pocket watch.
> "Let's fix that."
> The card shines. "Conjuring "Misdirection" " She declares.
> The paper vanishes and you can feel power emanating from Sakuya. You think you can see some kind of clock aura in her.

Niji-chan:

>"Hm..."
>Try focusing a bit of all our colors into one to make White.

> You focus again all of your colors, but this time without the light you used to create Golden. Your wings become white.
> The gems in your bracelet are white.
> A Niji appears besides Golden. The white colors in your wing disappears.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>Absorb more Light.

Kiku-chan:

>Stand ready.

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>Follow after Aya.
>"Hang on, we're not done helping yet. We're coming too."

//I don't remember solar beam taking that long to charge...

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>Absorb more Light.

> You start again the absortion of Light. It seems it'll take a while again...
> White and Golden wave to each other.
> "... There are too many yous." Kokoro says.

//I don't remember solar beam taking that long to charge...

> The sheep makes a sound.
> "No, I don't think she's a Cherrim... She takes more than two turns, however. I wonder if a Sunny Day can make her change of form..."
> "Who called me?" Sunny asks from who knows what place. "MAH DAY?!

Kiku-chan:

>Stand ready.

> Sakuya rapidly moves to her left, shooting red kunais at high speed.
> She appears at the other side, shooting blue knives.
> You... don't really catched what just happened... It was so quick!

Tsuru:

>Follow after Aya.
>"Hang on, we're not done helping yet. We're coming too."

> Everyone follows.
> "I know, but I'd like to make it with that Oni quickly, since any other probably can consider us an enemies."

[Monarda]

Nijis:

>"Oh really ?"
>Swarm Kokoro-chan and hug her and the sheep too.

Kiku-chan:

>Determine their direction.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Swap.
>"Who are we looking for again? How do they look? I could probably ask them to meet up with us."

[Tashi]

Nijis:

>"Oh really ?"
>Swarm Kokoro-chan and hug her and the sheep too.

> You use your super conviction skills clones and yourself as a way to hug both Kokoro and the sheep.
> Kokoro blinks a few times. "Really."
> "Oh dear..." Byakuren giggles.

Kiku-chan:

>Determine their direction.

> T-They are... ... huh? Everything is aimed at you...

Daiko:

>Swap.
>"Who are we looking for again? How do they look? I could probably ask them to meet up with us."

> You swap.
> "We want to meet with Yuugi Hoshiguma." Sakura says. "I'd like to meet her, since probably like that she can ease some information about the-"
> "Something I can offer to you?" A voice resonates in the cave.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Huh?"

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>Now have them all hug Kokoro-chan ! And also have them pet Kokoro-chan !

Kiku-chan:

>Look surprised, but remain calm.
>"I see..."
>Move just a bit to the right, enough so that the danmaku passes by us half a meter away and wait for anything of notice to happen.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Huh?"

> "You think you can come here like that and disturb my sleep...?" The voice, a female, laughs.
> "What...?" Aya questions, stopping.
> You can feel a big menace upon all of you... This is bad... REALLY bad...

Niji-chan:

>Now have them all hug Kokoro-chan ! And also have them pet Kokoro-chan !

> You show affection to Kokoro by hugging her and petting her.
> "I think I am a puppy." Kokoro thinks. "... I'm Kyoukooo." She raises her arms to the sides to emphasize.

Kiku-chan:

>Look surprised, but remain calm.
>"I see..."
>Move just a bit to the right, enough so that the danmaku passes by us half a meter away and wait for anything of notice to happen.

> You move just a bit to the right.
> Every single bullet pass away.
> Sakuya smiles. "Good observation."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"H-Hold on, we don't mean to disturb anyone."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"H-Hold on, we don't mean to disturb anyone."

> "You have committed a serious sin when you came here..." The voice replies.
> "W-What do you mean?" Kyouko asks.
> "You know... since you came... I can enjoy of some... meal..." She laughs again.
> It's only at this time you finally notice... that there are spider webs everywhere...
> "Dammit..." Aya curses.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Look around for the voice's source.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Look around for the voice's source.

> You look around, hoping you can find the owner of said voice.
> You don't see anyone aside of your group. The bigness and darkness of the cave makes almost impossible to determine where the voices are, since it's so much echo.
> You think you start to see shadows... The pressure of something coming is greater...
