>Pet Yuudachi.
>"You will meet her later okay Yuudachi ?"

Niji White:

>"Mind what ?"

Bastet-chan:

>"Okay..."
>Follow her !

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Maybe we can go ask Aya."

> "Yeah! She's a reporter, so she might know places that we don't!" Kyouko nods.

Niji-chan:

>Pet Yuudachi.
>"You will meet her later okay Yuudachi ?"

Niji White:

>"Mind what ?"

Bastet-chan:

>"Okay..."
>Follow her !

> You pet Yuudachi, and she smiles.
> "Yuu!"

> "If I keep this book for myself the rest of this day. I'm curious to see what-"
> She pauses.
> "A-Ah! S-Sorry! Please forget it! I'm being selfish..."
> She handles you the book.

> You follow Sakura. Koakuma does the same.
> As you return to the living room that is upstairs, you find out that Daiyousei and Cirno are sitting down at the couches.
> Cirno waves energetically at you, while Daiyousei gently does so.

> (Niji Blue) Once again, Clownpiece starts to drag you.
> "Reimu is a meanie, ya' know..."

> (Nijisa) Alice is returning...

> (Niji Green/Scarlet) "Is that all?" Sakuya asks.

> (Nijipiece) You can see Sanae and Kogasa as you wander around...

> (Niji Red) Rifa sighs.
> "This is stupid..."

> (Tsuru) The place changes again back to the stairs.
> _

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>"So... you can't leave here right ?"

Bastet-chan:

>"Hiya !"

Niji-chan:

>"Okay, try saying your full name now honey."

Nijipiece:

>Intercept !

Niji Red:

>"Huh ?"

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"So... you can't leave here right ?"

> He growls slightly. You think that's a no.
> You wonder why you are starting to understand him...

Bastet-chan:

>"Hiya !"

> "The three..." Koa looks at the cat. "The four, hehe... We are going to the mansion."
> "... We are?" Cirno asks.
> Koakuma nods. "We have some business there..."
> Sakura goes to the kitchen.

Niji-chan:

>"Okay, try saying your full name now honey."

> "Yuudachi!" She smiles and raises her arms. "Yuudachi!"
> "Sooo cuuute..." They fairies say alike.

Nijipiece:

>Intercept !

> You approach to them.
> They are walking together to the Human Village. I doesn't seem they noticed you yet.

Niji Red:

>"Huh ?"

> "I mean... this." She points to Nitori. "Why is this happening? It's stupid..."

> (Gray) Megumi suddenly returns. Rin shyly follows behind her.

> (White) Marry looks at you.
> "A-Are you going to leave the book with her or not...?"

> (Nijisa) Alice lands. Her dolls follow.
> "Hey, Arisu!" Marisa greets, still holding the music box.
> "Hi..." She says faintly.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Head back to Hatate's place.

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>"We could try and talk to their families, ask if they could leave the children here for some time once in a month."

Bastet-chan:

>"Uhm, why the kitchen ?"

Kiku-chan:

>Mew.

Niji-chan:

>"Right you are ! You are my little daughter Yuudachi !"
>Hug her.

Niji White:

>"Hm... we have no choice..."
>Nod.

Niji Gray:

>"Mama, Miss Rin, let's hope this works..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Head back to Hatate's place.

> You return to Hatate's house.

Tsuru:

>"We could try and talk to their families, ask if they could leave the children here for some time once in a month."

> KyuuKyuu-kun snarls happily.
> "I hope they accept, then..." Chloe/Suzette says.

Bastet-chan:

>"Uhm, why the kitchen ?"

Kiku-chan:

>Mew.

> Sakura stops.
> Almost immediately, she turns and goes to her room.

> You mew, prompting Cirno and Daiyousei to get up and approach to caress you.
> "So cute..." Dai says with a smile.

Niji-chan:

>"Right you are ! You are my little daughter Yuudachi !"
>Hug her.

> "Yuudachi!" She returns the gesture. "Yuu-... Mama!"
> The fairies gasp.

Niji White:

>"Hm... we have no choice..."
>Nod.

> "... Really?" Kosuzu blinks.

Niji Gray:

>"Mama, Miss Rin, let's hope this works..."

> Rin just looks away. She looks... really bad...
> "She is the one you are talking about?" Hina questions.
> "She is." Megumi pushes Rin ahead, much to her surprise.
> "U-Uhm... Hi..." Rin says shyly.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Gray:

>"Coild you please help her ? I want her to be happy..."

Bastet-chan:

>Poke her gently.
>"Silly airheaded Sakura-sama ! Hehe !"

Kiku-chan:

>Purr.

Niji-chan:

>Be shocked, then slowly turn that into pure joy.

Niji White:

>Nod.
>"Just be sure to tell Daiko-kun and our family once you know something."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Knock when we arrive.

[Tashi]

Niji Gray:

>"Coild you please help her ? I want her to be happy..."

> Hina nods and gets up.
> "I'm..."
> Megumi raises an eyebrow.
> "I'm... okay... This isn't necessary..." Rin says while she looks down.
> "Eh?" Hina questions.

Bastet-chan:

>Poke her gently.
>"Silly airheaded Sakura-sama ! Hehe !"

> You follow and poke her.
> Sakura closes the door with both hands.
> She doesn't answer.

Kiku-chan:

>Purr.

> You purr. The three of them smile at such amount of cuteness.
> "I would give everything for you to become my pet..." Daiyousei giggles.
> "Me too..." Koa adds.

Niji-chan:

>Be shocked, then slowly turn that into pure joy.

> You look shocked for a moment. Did she just...?
> You quickly make that surprise in happiness.
> "S-She said "mama"?" A fairy questions.
> "... Yuu?" Yuudachi asks.

Niji White:

>Nod.
>"Just be sure to tell Daiko-kun and our family once you know something."

> "Don't worry!" Kosuzu nods and smiles. "I will give it back tomorrow! Promise!"

Daiko:

>Knock when we arrive.

> You knock the door.
> You can hear some voices and sounds inside, before Momiji opens the door.
> "Yes?" She asks.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Gray:

>"Miss Rin... please, let us help..."

Bastet-chan:

>"...Sakura-sama ?"

Niji-chan:

>"You said Mama !"

Nijisa:

>So ?

[Tashi]

Niji Gray:

>"Miss Rin... please, let us help..."

> Rin looks at you, and then looks down again. She subtly nods.

Bastet-chan:

>"...Sakura-sama ?"

> Sakura turns and sticks her back in the door. She lets herself slowly sit down in the floor.
> She's crying. She's crying so bad in silence...

Niji-chan:

>"You said Mama !"

> Yuudachi looks confused. "Mama?"
> There's some silence...
> Yuudachi looks surprised.

Nijisa:

>So ?

> Alice already arrived. She doesn't looks a bit depressed.

> (Nijipiece) Sanae glances at you when she notices your presence.
> "Eh?" She questions.

> (Blue) Clownpiece dragged you to the forest.
> "Here..." She stops.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Blue:

>"So what now ?"

Nijipiece:

>"Hiiiiiii !"

Bastet-chan:

>"S-Sakura-sama ?!"
>Hug her.

Niji Gray:

>"Okay... Miss Hina, could you please remove this misfortune she was cursed with ?"

Nijisa:

>"So how did it go ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Hehe, my daughter learned an new word all by herself, i can see a lot of potential in you honey."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Er, do you know how to get to Mayohiga?"

[Rin Satsuki]

Niji Blue:

>"So what now ?"

Nijipiece:

>"Hiiiiiii !"

Bastet-chan:

>"S-Sakura-sama ?!"
>Hug her.

Niji Gray:

>"Okay... Miss Hina, could you please remove this misfortune she was cursed with ?"

Nijisa:

>"So how did it go ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Hehe, my daughter learned an new word all by herself, i can see a lot of potential in you honey."

> Clownpiece smiles. "We enjoy our moment alone..."

> "...Niji?" Sanae asks. "You look like... that clown fairy..."
> Kogasa pouts.

> You hug Sakura. She hugs you tightly back.
> "I did a terrible job as a mother, Bastet-chan! As a mother and as a grandma!"

> "Of course." Hina approaches to her.
> Rin stays uncomfortably silent.
> Suddenly, Hina looks very surprised.

> "... I wasn't able to talk with Nitori." Alice sighs and sits down in the couch. "I don't have enough money to pay the remodelations to other kappa besides her..."

> "Mama!" She smiles and hugs you tighter. "Mama!"

Daiko:

>"Er, do you know how to get to Mayohiga?"

> "Err... Aya!" Momiji calls.
> "What?" The mentioned tengu walks downstairs. "I'm working, Momi- Oh... What's wrong? Did you forgot something?
>_

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Could you tell us where Mayohiga is?"

[Monarda]

Niji Gray:

>"W-What is it Miss Hina ?"

Nijipiece:

>"Because i am partly her, torch inckuded even see ?"

Bastet-chan:

>"That's not true..."

Niji-chan:

>"Yes honey, i am your mama..."
>Smile brightly.

Niji Blue:

>"Huh..."

Nijisa:

>"Oh... yeah Nitori had some issues to deal with..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Could you tell us where Mayohiga is?"

> "Mayo... higa?" Aya questions. "Uh... It's in the limits of Gensokyo, somewhere around the mountains behind the Hakurei Shrine.. Why you ask?"

Niji Gray:

>"W-What is it Miss Hina ?"

> "... It's..."
> She pauses.
> "It's nothing. Don't worry."
> Hina floats and starts to slowly spin.
> Rin and Megumi are silent.

Nijipiece:

>"Because i am partly her, torch inckuded even see ?"

> "I can see it..."
> Kogasa makes some gestures to you from Sanae's back.
> "So, um..." Sanae says.

Bastet-chan:

>"That's not true..."

> "I-It is... I ruined everything... I-I wasn't even able to have my daughter stay with me..."

Niji-chan:

>"Yes honey, i am your mama..."
>Smile brightly.

> You smile. It feels... really good being called "mama" by the person... err... thing you consider your daughter.
> "Mama!" She smiles the same way you do.

Niji Blue:

>"Huh..."

> Clownpiece walks to a tree and sits down. She leaves her torch, which isn't lit, in the snow.
> "Come here." She smiles.

Nijisa:

>"Oh... yeah Nitori had some issues to deal with..."

> Alice looks at you with a questioning face.
> "What's wrong with 'tori?" Marisa asks.
> _

[Monarda]

Nijipiece:

>"How do you do ?"

Niji Gray:

>Wait.

Bastet-chan:

>"Hey... don't be like that... we dunno her motives..."

Nijisa:

>"Some kind of weird extreme depression struck her when she woke up, one of the kappas said some of them experience that whrn they wake up for some reason, and that usually going to sleep again makes them go back to normal."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"I'd like to go there for someone for a moment. How safe is it, by the way?"

[Tashi]

Nijipiece:

>"How do you do ?"

> "We are okay..."
> Kogasa keeps doing gestures to you, and immediately stops when Sanae turns to see her.
> "We are... reforming a relation, hehe..." Sanae says.

Niji Gray:

>Wait.

> You wait...

Bastet-chan:

>"Hey... don't be like that... we dunno her motives..."

> "What if I'm involved in them?"
> Sakura breaks the hug to see you.
> "... What if she left because I did something wrong...?"

Nijisa:

>"Some kind of weird extreme depression struck her when she woke up, one of the kappas said some of them experience that whrn they wake up for some reason, and that usually going to sleep again makes them go back to normal."

> "Oh... That..." Marisa says.
> "... She was affected, too?" Alice asks.

Daiko:

>"I'd like to go there for someone for a moment. How safe is it, by the way?"

> "Well... You'll be surprised that almost nobody lives at the village of Mayohiga." Aya states.

> "What?!" The girl jumps.

> "It's like a ghost town."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Huh..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Huh..."

> "You should, uh, watch out... Unless you want to be ambushed by cats." Aya frowns.
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"What happened there ?"

Nijipiece:

>"Oh neat !"

Niji Gray:

>Wait harder.

Bastet-chan:

>"Hey, that's not certain, for all we know, she left to look for Orange herself."

Nijisa:

>"What do you mean ?"

Niji Blue:

>"What now ?"

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"What happened there ?"

> "The people living there before abandoned the village." Aya explains. "At least, that's what I know."

> "... What...?"

Nijipiece:

>"Oh neat !"

> Sanae returns her look at you, and Kogasa returns to make gestures at you.

Niji Gray:

>Wait harder.

> You increase your levels of patience...

Bastet-chan:

>"Hey, that's not certain, for all we know, she left to look for Orange herself."

> "I-I was always so carefree... I-I think... I made a mistake when I was raising her..."
> Sakura looks down.

Nijisa:

>"What do you mean ?"

> "I heard about "depression" thing for years already." Alice says.
> "Ya'. It's strange..." Marisa adds. "It reminds me the curses that the gods can cast upon someone."

Niji Blue:

>"What now ?"

> "Won't you come here?" Clownpiece asks, still beckoning you.
> _

[Monarda]

Nijisa:

>"That Rin person also has something similar too, from the other Vampire Mansion, some moments ago she even attempted suicide, and we found out she has immense amounts of misfortune on her."

Bastet-chan:

>"Hey hey... carefree isn't the same as careless..."

Nijipiece:

>What kinds of Gestures ?

Niji Blue:

>Do so.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Do you still want to go there...?"

[Tashi]

Nijisa:

>"That Rin person also has something similar too, from the other Vampire Mansion, some moments ago she even attempted suicide, and we found out she has immense amounts of misfortune on her."

> "You seemed to know her, Marisa." Alice turns to her.
> "Ya'. Reimu and I met her long time ago, but..." Marisa scratches her hair. "I don't remember what we did besides saying hi..."

Bastet-chan:

>"Hey hey... carefree isn't the same as careless..."

> "I-It might be true... but being so carefree can be bad... You would see things innocently... Unaware of the consequences of your actions..."
> Sakura places her hands in her head.
> "... E-Especially with-" She stops.

Nijipiece:

>What kinds of Gestures ?

> Well, you aren't the best (read: absolutely not the best) when it comes to read sign lenguage... but you think she's trying to say to you to go away, but not in a bad way.

Niji Blue:

>Do so.

> You approach and sit next to her in the snow.
> Clownpiece looks up to the sky. "... Are you absolutely sure you want to be with me, Niji?"

Daiko:

>"Do you still want to go there...?"

> "... Do first whatever you have to do... then we can go if you want..." She says in a low tone.
> _

[Monarda]

Nijisa:

>"She said people tend to forget her, and it's true, thanks to that misfortune..."

Bastet-chan:

>"Sakura..."

Nijipiece:

>"Well anyways, looks like you two are having some alone time, so better get going hehe."

Niji Blue:

>Nod nod.

Daiko-kun:

>Pet the sad spirit.

[Tashi]

Nijisa:

>"She said people tend to forget her, and it's true, thanks to that misfortune..."

> "Oh, so it's because the misfortune? Huh..." Marisa says.
> "... By the way, Marisa..." Alice points to the music box. "Why you have that?" Alice frowns.
> "... ... ... Niji went to your room and she brought it while I was totally asleep." Marisa looks at you and grins.

Bastet-chan:

>"Sakura..."

> "... I'm not a good parent, Bastet-chan..." Sakura stands up. "... I am not..."

Nijipiece:

>"Well anyways, looks like you two are having some alone time, so better get going hehe."

> Kogasa smiles and nods. She moves her lips, but doesn't make any sound. You think she tried to say "thank you".
> "O-Oh... I-I guess, hehe." Sanae blushes slightly.

Niji Blue:

>Nod nod.

> Clownpiece looks down. "... Niji... If you expect me to be normal... then you got the wrong person to be with..."

Daiko-kun:

>Pet the sad spirit.

> You pet Rafael(?).
> "D-Don't treat me like a little girl..." She frowns and pouts, still looking down.
