[Monarda]

Niji Gray:

>"Huh... oh Mama ! We are almost there."

Niji Blue:

>"What things ?"
>Tilt our head.

Oniru:

>Nod and smile.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Yes. They were in distress. At one point, one brought up something that could be seen as a clue."

[Tashi]

Niji Gray:

>"Huh... oh Mama ! We are almost there."

Niji Blue:

>"What things ?"
>Tilt our head.

Oniru:

>Nod and smile.

> "Yea, I know..."

> Clownpiece takes a deep breath. She looks at you.
> "... In bed... or whatever place comes, anyway." She says.

> "How... did you fused with Bastet...?" She breaks the hug gently.

Daiko:

>"Yes. They were in distress. At one point, one brought up something that could be seen as a clue."

> "Can you describe it?"
> Aya and Hatate keep writing.
> Kokoro is lifting some articles.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"The clue was a card with a bat on it. When everyone heard of it, they nearly immediately began to suspect the Scarlet Devil Mansion for kidnapping their children..."

Tsuru:

>We are in the infirmary?
>>If so, wave gently to her.

[Monarda]

Niji Gray:

>"They should know something."

Niji Blue:

>"Huh ?"
>Be confused.

Oniru:

>Oh yeah... how did we anyways ?

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"The clue was a card with a bat on it. When everyone heard of it, they nearly immediately began to suspect the Scarlet Devil Mansion for kidnapping their children..."

Tsuru:

>We are in the infirmary?
>>If so, wave gently to her.

> "What they did when they started to suspect about them?" Aya asks.
> Kokoro goes to other room.

> You are.
> You gently wave at Chloe.
> She, surprisingly enough, "looks" at you.
> "I'm planning to see more about this strange entity that the Mistress is talking about..." She says.

Niji Gray:

>"They should know something."

Niji Blue:

>"Huh ?"
>Be confused.

Oniru:

>Oh yeah... how did we anyways ?

> "I guess and I hope."
> You can see the Moriya Shrine by now. You can see Kanako and Marry, along with White, sitting down at the porch of the shrine.

> "... W-We'll dig on that further later..." Clownpiece sighs. "... There's one more thing..."

> Your soul, or as you like to call it, "life energy", was transfered to Bastet's soul by yourself. This was really easy, given that her soul is incomplete and your previous form was made mostly of energy.
> _

[Monarda]

Oniru:

>"Since i was made purely of energy before, i was able to merge with Bastet's Soul, since her's was incomplete."

Niji Blue:

>Nod still confused.

NIji Gray:

>"There they are."

[Tashi]

Oniru:

>"Since i was made purely of energy before, i was able to merge with Bastet's Soul, since her's was incomplete."

Niji Blue:

>Nod still confused.

NIji Gray:

>"There they are."

> "W-Weren't you able to do that with mine?" Doremy asks.

> You nod confused.
> "... This isn't my real self." Clownpiece declares.

> You stop travelling.
> "Go, then."
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Blue:

>"Eh ? What do you mean ?"

Oniru:

>Were we ?

Niji Gray:

>"Uhm... just step out of the shadows and towards them ?"

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"They wanted to do something to get their children back. But doing such a thing wouldn't end well for anyone... That's why my family and I started to try and look further. See if the Scarlet Devil Mansion residents were really responsible or not."

[Tashi]

Niji Blue:

>"Eh ? What do you mean ?"

Oniru:

>Were we ?

Niji Gray:

>"Uhm... just step out of the shadows and towards them ?"

> "... I... don't look like this normally... or that says Master..." Clownpiece says. "She says I have some kind of restriction in me that doesn't let me show how really I am..."

> You weren't able to do it... You... just know that Bastet has something special in her...

> Megumi nods.

Daiko:

>"They wanted to do something to get their children back. But doing such a thing wouldn't end well for anyone... That's why my family and I started to try and look further. See if the Scarlet Devil Mansion residents were really responsible or not."

> "And what did you found in said investigation?" Aya questions.
> "How were you able to stop the villagers from doing something against the SDM?" Hatate asks.
> You can hear some sounds from where Kokoro supposedly is. Aya and Hatate seem too focused in you to care about them.
> _

[Neovereign]

KyouKoroMyst-V!Daiko:

>"Kokoro?"

Daiko:

>"Keine and others helped keep the villagers calm and thinking rationally. As for my group. Well, we were able to determine that there was another possible culprit.

[Tashi]

KyouKoroMyst-V!Daiko:

>"Kokoro?"

Daiko:

>"Keine and others helped keep the villagers calm and thinking rationally. As for my group. Well, we were able to determine that there was another possible culprit.

> "Uh?" V!Kokoro looks at you.

> Aya and Hatate nod as they write.
> "Did you went to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to gather information, right?" Aya questions.
> More sounds can be heard.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Could you not rummage around so much? It wouldn't be good if they suddenly found a bunch of their stuff misplaced or anything..."

Daiko:

>"Sort of."

[Monarda]

Niji Blue:

>"And what do you normally look like then ?"

Oniru:

>"I can't say... it's just... Bastet is special somehow..."

Niji Gray:

>"Okay Mama.., i will be back soon."
>Do so.

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"Could you not rummage around so much? It wouldn't be good if they suddenly found a bunch of their stuff misplaced or anything..."

Daiko:

>"Sort of."

> "We are their guests, and they didn't told us to stay in one place."

> More sounds can be heard. You think those are papers...
> "Can you be more specific...?" Hatate requests.

Niji Blue:

>"And what do you normally look like then ?"

Oniru:

>"I can't say... it's just... Bastet is special somehow..."

Niji Gray:

>"Okay Mama.., i will be back soon."
>Do so.

> "... Master didn't told me... She said she wanted me to look at it myself if I manage to overcome whatever is restricting me..." Clowny says.

> "Special...?" Doremy asks. "... I... think...?"

> You step outside of the shadows.
> Suddenly, everything around you is normal as you step outside from a shadow of a tree.
> "What?" Kanako questions.
> "A-Another Niji?" Marry questions as she hugs her book.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Blue:

>"Hm... but your personality won't change right ?"

Niji Gray:

>"H-Hey... uhm, i wanna ask about something Miss Kanako..."

Oniru:

>Nod.
>"Anyways... nowi am linked with her, so we will have to share our time."

[Tashi]

Niji Blue:

>"Hm... but your personality won't change right ?"

Niji Gray:

>"H-Hey... uhm, i wanna ask about something Miss Kanako..."

Oniru:

>Nod.
>"Anyways... nowi am linked with her, so we will have to share our time."

> Clownpiece shrugs.

> "What?" Kanako raises an eyebrow. "It's already strange to have one of your-" She points to White. "-clones that didn't said a single thing since she arrived."
> Marry looks down.

> "Oniru..." Doremy looks serious. "... D-Do you understand what's happening, right...?"
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Kokoro, please respect their privacy, at least."

Daiko:

>"I believe some of my... non-direct family went for information."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"Kokoro, please respect their privacy, at least."

Daiko:

>"I believe some of my... non-direct family went for information."

> "Fiiine..."
> Kokoro returns from where she was. Some papers are hanging in her clothes. She stays there, doing nothing.

> "Non-direct family?" Aya questions.
> Hatate gives Aya a quick look.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Blue:

>"Huh... i should be okay then..."

Niji Gray:

>"Ooo..."
>Poke Niji White.

Niji White:

>"Huh ?"

Oniru:

>What is she talking about ? The Dream World ?

[Tashi]

Niji Blue:

>"Huh... i should be okay then..."

Niji Gray:

>"Ooo..."
>Poke Niji White.

Niji White:

>"Huh ?"

Oniru:

>What is she talking about ? The Dream World ?

> Clownpiece gives you a surprised look.
> "Y-You are?" She asks. "F-For real? I'm... really weird if you know me more..."

> You poke White.
> "Since we arrived she didn't said a single thing... I was worried..." Marry says.

> You know exactly what she's talking about...
> "T-The Dream World... is unbalanced..." Doremy says.
> _

[Monarda]

Oniru:

>Nod.
>How do we fix it ?

Niji Blue:

>"Weird is also interesting."

Niji White:

>"Oh... sorry..."

Niji Gray:

>"Doneeeeee."

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Kokoro, did you steal any?"

Daiko:

>"Kiku, Bastet, Niji, Tsuru..."

[Tashi]

Oniru:

>Nod.
>How do we fix it ?

Niji Blue:

>"Weird is also interesting."

Niji White:

>"Oh... sorry..."

Niji Gray:

>"Doneeeeee."

> You were the one that was keeping the balance in the Dream World... and now that you aren't in your previous form...
> "There's a big issue going on, Oniru... You have to get out of here." Doremy looks serious.

> Clownpiece looks very surprised. "N-Niji..."

> "So?" Kanako asks again. "Why you-" She looks at Gray. "-and you two-" And looks at Marry and White. "-are here?"

V!Daiko:

>"Kokoro, did you steal any?"

Daiko:

>"Kiku, Bastet, Niji, Tsuru..."

> "No... Why would I? I don't have any use for the newspaper."
> "... You are weird." V!Kyouko pouts.

> "So, they aren't blood-relatives?" Aya asks.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"...No..."
>Look a bit sad.

[Monarda]

Oniru:

>Did we ever have a plan to deal with this after fusing with Bastet ?"

Niji White:

>"We found this weird book."

Niji Gray:

>"Do you know Miss Hina ?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"...No..."
>Look a bit sad.

> "Daiko..." Mystia and Kyouko say at your expression.
> "...?" Aya lowers her notepad. "Is... something wrong?"

Oniru:

>Did we ever have a plan to deal with this after fusing with Bastet ?"

Niji White:

>"We found this weird book."

> You... didn't took that into account...
> "Oniru, I'm serious. You have to get out of the Dream World." Doremy says.

> "The one that you have?"
> Marry nods and looks at it a bit.

Niji Gray:

>"Do you know Miss Hina ?"

> Kanako turns to see you. "I do. What about her?"
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Gray:

>"We need her help."

Oniru:

>"B-But we can help stabilize the Dream World !"

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Er, y-you were saying?"
