>Soul Swap back into our male self.

[Tashi]

>"Well because you are staring at his soul roommate Arukas-chan !"
>Soul Swap back into our male self.
>"Hey there Arukas-chan ! Looks like you just met Kiku-chan."

> Arukas blinks a few times. Keine do the same.
> "... Huuuh???" She asks, leaning her head more. "W-What's happening?"
> "I... want to know too, please..." Keine says.
> _

[Monarda]

>"I know i know, i was also confused at first."
>Approach them.
>"Turns out that i actually carry another soul on my body, and that soul is like a different version of myself, her name is Kiku and you just met her as that Neko Youkai you just saw."
>Look to Arukas.
>"Arukas-chan, remember yesterday when i felt pain with the word "Faith" ? That had to do with Kiku-chan trapped inside me without being able to communicate."

> Keine just looks at you, impressed.
> Arukas's is suffering a error 404 jaw is like it's going to drop.
> _

[Monarda]

>"Uh... Kiku-chan... help please."
>Swap back to Kiku-chan's form.

Kiku-chan:

>"Okay... so what Daiko-kun means to say is that he has a female self, in the form of me, and he is my male self, think of it like twin siblings, and now we can control each other's bodies and change between our forms basically."

[Neovereign]

Kiku:
>"In short, I've been stuck in his head for his whole life. It was only yesterday that we actually met, and this morning where I got to control and swap our bodies. Anyways, we'd like to find a way to get our bodies separate and out at the same time."

[Tashi]

>"Uh... Kiku-chan... help please."
>Swap back to Kiku-chan's form.

Kiku-chan:

>"Okay... so what Daiko-kun means to say is that he has a female self, in the form of me, and he is my male self, think of it like twin siblings, and now we can control each other's bodies and change between our forms basically."

> You swap to Kiku.
> "T-That's pretty-"
> "That's pretty neat!" Arukas interrupts Keine "I don't think I understand so far, but it's incredible anyways!"

Kiku:
>"In short, I've been stuck in his head for his whole life. It was only yesterday that we actually met, and this morning where I got to control and swap our bodies. Anyways, we'd like to find a way to get our bodies separate and out at the same time."

> "Split, you mean? ... Hmm..." Keine puts a thinking face.
> "Tell me, tell me! How does it feel? How does it feel when you change?" Arukas asks energically.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Do we (Daiko) know how to go cat as well?
>"Well, we can still tell what the other feels and sees and make their body do things, but it's not the other person's body. As for how it feels, well..."
>How does it feel? Explain it to her if we know.

[Tashi]

>Do we (Daiko) know how to go cat as well?
>"Well, we can still tell what the other feels and sees and make their body do things, but it's not the other person's body. As for how it feels, well..."
>How does it feel? Explain it to her if we know.

> You haven't tried, but you proved that it's not impossible, considering when your male self fell into the box and you ended up being a cat while your female self was still in the box.
> When you are surrounded by the dark sphere, you almost feel like you are being absorbed, only leaving a bit of you being there with your other self in the real world. The rest of your male/female self it's in your mind.
> "I see... ... Wait... that means... I was the one to make it here late...?" She asks.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Nod.

[Tashi]

>Nod.

> "..."
> Little tears come from the eyes of Arukas.
> "No faaair! You cheated!"
> _

[Neovereign]

>"Eh?"
>Switch to Daiko.
>"W-Wait! Don't cry!"
>Cover our left cheek, precautiously.

[Tashi]

>"Eh?"
>Switch to Daiko.
>"W-Wait! Don't cry!"
>Cover our left cheek, precautiously.

> You switch, covering your left cheek with your left arm afterwards.
> Arukas continue crying. Suddenly, she stops, now with a grin in her face.
> She grabs your left arm, raising you up again, then throwing you right behind her and striking you in the snow. Luckily, this time you don't feel anything too.
> "Caught ya' off guard, pal!" She says proudly.
> _

[Neovereign]

>"Er... Yea, you did. But at least I came on time."

[Monarda]

>"Really eager to show off your Oni strength huh ? Too bad you are still small, ehehe."
>Smile and get up.
>"Anyways, we should get started right ?"

[Tashi]

>"Er... Yea, you did. But at least I came on time."

> "But you're always off guard" She says.

>"Really eager to show off your Oni strength huh ? Too bad you are still small, ehehe."
>Smile and get up.
>"Anyways, we should get started right ?"

> "Hey!"
> You smile and get up, shaking off you the snow.
> "Yeah, I guess so! Keine! We are ready!" Arukas looks to where Keine is.
> "... she is able to make miracles... ... Hmm..." It appears that Keine's still thinking, not noticing both of you.
> "Uhm... Keine?" Arukas asks.
> "...? O-Oh. Sorry about that. What is it?"
> _

[Neovereign]

>"But I don't feel like I should be on guard when it's just you here. You're my best friend."
>"Wait, what was that Ms. Keine?"

[Tashi]

>"But I don't feel like I should be on guard when it's just you here. You're my best friend."

> "But I have to be on guard! Who knows? You might be a super thief of woman underwear!" She says with a smile.

>"Wait, what was that Ms. Keine?"

> "Oh, I was thinking about ways to split the two of you" She replies.
> _

[Neovereign]

>"Oh. Thanks Ms. Keine."

[Monarda]

>"By that logic you could be part of a secret wrestling group in the village."
>Smile back.
>"Either way, we're glad you managed to get your oni strength to work, right Kiku ?"

Kiku-chan:

>Make Daiko-kun's head nod.

[Tashi]

>"Oh. Thanks Ms. Keine."

> "I will think about more ways, don't worry. If I consider one to be a good one, I will tell you"

>"By that logic you could be part of a secret wrestling group in the village."
>Smile back.
>"Either way, we're glad you managed to get your oni strength to work, right Kiku ?"

Kiku-chan:

>Make Daiko-kun's head nod.

> You nod unconsciously.
> "Well, it's only a bit of it... I trained very early in the dawn... I guess I'm progressing! Hehe!"
> _

[Neovereign]

>"Then keep it up~"

[Monarda]

>"The surprises just seem to never end huh..."
>Light up.
>"Oh right ! Last night we met a girl that was trying to be like the Kuchisake-onna."
>Turn to Miss Keine.
>"Miss Keine, do you know anything about a girl named Kokoro ?"

[Tashi]

>"Then keep it up~"

> "Of course I will!"

>"The surprises just seem to never end huh..."
>Light up.
>"Oh right ! Last night we met a girl that was trying to be like the Kuchisake-onna."
>Turn to Miss Keine.
>"Miss Keine, do you know anything about a girl named Kokoro ?"

> "Huuuh?!" Arukas asks.
> "Uh? Yeah, I know her because Reimu told me about-... w-wait, you met HER? The self-called Kuchisake-onna?!" Keine asks.
> _

[Neovereign]

>"Listen though, she... Well... I'll just say that we should think about letting her join our group for the danmaku festival. She's a good person. We're friends."

[Monarda]

>Smile.
>"She was a very interesting person to talk to, she told me about what she was doing, asked me why didn't i run away, and i asked her what if she hurt someone and they started going after her..."
>Look upwards.
>"After that long talk, i asked her to stop doing that because i was worried for her, and that i would like to be her friend, then she got really happy and left after making one last question."

[Neovereign]

//I guess I won't just say that then...

[Monarda]

//We should be honest and tell them about it, gives them more insight on how she is just misunderstood.

[Tashi]

>"Listen though, she... Well... I'll just say that we should think about letting her join our group for the danmaku festival. She's a good person. We're friends."

>Smile.
>"She was a very interesting person to talk to, she told me about what she was doing, asked me why didn't i run away, and i asked her what if she hurt someone and they started going after her..."
>Look upwards.
>"After that long talk, i asked her to stop doing that because i was worried for her, and that i would like to be her friend, then she got really happy and left after making one last question."

> Arukas eyes widen, as well as her open mouth.
> "You just..." Keine blinks "This is... unbelievable... You just talked to a person who attacks people immediately... it was luck for them to not get injured and escape... and you... you just talked to her... and you ended up being friends... You even want her to be in your team..." Keine sighs "What last question?"
> "... T-Tell us, Daiko-kun..." Arukas recomposes. "Where you hide all that luck?!"
> _

[Neovereign]

>"It was really nice talking to her, and I hope I can see her again soon."
