Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 6

[Tashi]

Bastet-chan:

>"I-It did !"
>Poke her cat ears.
>"Look !"

> You poke Koishi's ears.
> "Eeeh?" She feels them with her hand. "How? How did you do that?"

Niji-chan:

>"That's up to you, lure them with food or sound, Marry-chan should be an expert on how to do that."

> "Well... They like a lot the herbage..." Marry suggests.
> Clownpiece thinks. "We're in winter, so... that can be somewhat difficult..."

Kiku-chan:

>"Hey there Meiling, so what has been going on ?"

> "Weeell... Something..."
> Sakuya raises an eyebrow.
> "... Forget about it. Maybe it was just my imagination."

Bastet-chan:

>"You said that you wished to have it, and the word 'wish' echoes in me, so i focused on making that wish true and... tada !"
>Tiredly smile.
>"But i feel really tired now... can you pretty please gimme a piggyback... ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Hm... are they attracted to light or fire or something ?"

Kiku-chan:

>"I dunno, with what i have been seeing lately, it might be pretty real, so what was it ?"

[Tashi]

Bastet-chan:

>"You said that you wished to have it, and the word 'wish' echoes in me, so i focused on making that wish true and... tada !"
>Tiredly smile.
>"But i feel really tired now... can you pretty please gimme a piggyback... ?

> "So you can grant wishes?" Koishi looks at you with amazement. "Neat... And sure..." She squats.

Niji-chan:

>"Hm... are they attracted to light or fire or something ?"

> Marry nods. "The good thing about the sheeps is that, if one starts to go, every sheep in the group will follow."
> "Oh, that's handy." Luna says.

Kiku-chan:

>"I dunno, with what i have been seeing lately, it might be pretty real, so what was it ?"

> "I think someone was watching me."
> "Hm?" Sakuya asks. "How so?"
> "I don't know. I just felt that someone was... somewhere, keeping an eye on me... It wasn't you, Sakuya-san?"
> She shakes her head.
> _

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>"Thanks..."
>Lazily get there.

Niji-chan:

>Nod.

Kiku-chan:

>"Hm... maybe someone saw something ? Let's go see if someone at the lake saw anything strange."

[Tashi]

Bastet-chan:

>"Thanks..."
>Lazily get there.

> You let Koishi give you a ride in her back.
> "Well, now I'm a neko!"
> Her ears and tail twitch.

Niji-chan:

>Nod.

> "And where exactly we have to gather them?"
> "In my house... Err... Just let them at the top of the mountain." Marry says.
> "Well, I'm going, folks!" Clownpiece leaves rapidly.
> "Hey! We didn't even started!" Cirno complains.
> "It already starteeed~! If you don't do something, then I will wiiin~!" She giggles and flies to the foot of the mountain.

Kiku-chan:

>"Hm... maybe someone saw something ? Let's go see if someone at the lake saw anything strange."

> Sakuya nods.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Head to the lake.

Niji-chan:

>"So do you wanna team up Marry-chan ?"

Bastet-chan:

>"Well, i gotta get you back to normal later, or else Miss Satori might be upset with me..."

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>Head to the lake.

> You and Sakuya head to the lake. It doesn't seem to be much activity, aside of the few fairies.
> Speaking of which, you think you see some of them in the shore. It seems like a group.

Niji-chan:

>"So do you wanna team up Marry-chan ?"

> "Of course!"
> "Hey! We didn't planned to do so, but if you are going to, then we will too!" Sunny says, turning to her group. "Let's go!"
> "Hai!"
> The three fairies of light depart too, to another direction of the one that Clownpiece took.
> "Let's be a team, Dai-chan."
> "My pleasure, Cirno-chan."
> "Wait... that means Clowny will be alone..." Lily says. "She needs a team member! Clownyyy!" Lily follows Clownpiece.

Bastet-chan:

>"Well, i gotta get you back to normal later, or else Miss Satori might be upset with me..."

> "Oh come ooon..." She pouts. "Nee-san won't get mad about this."
> _

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>"Turning you into a Neko is a big deal, we dunno what side effects could happen."

Kiku-chan:

>"Look, some fairies, they might know something."

Niji-chan:

>"Okay, so where do you think we should go ?"

[Tashi]

Bastet-chan:

>"Turning you into a Neko is a big deal, we dunno what side effects could happen."

> "It isn't!" Koishi approaches to the hole. "So let's go!" She lets herself fall in it.

Kiku-chan:

>"Look, some fairies, they might know something."

Niji-chan:

>"Okay, so where do you think we should go ?"

> "Those are... Cirno and their group... a part, at least."

> "They already went to the foot of the mountain and to the middle... We should go to the forest near it."
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"But there are two more with them... huh ? Is that Niji ?"
>Approach.

Niji-chan:

>"Right, where are you going Cirno ?"

Bastet-chan:

>"Wah ! Where a-are we going ?"

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"But there are two more with them... huh ? Is that Niji ?"
>Approach.

Niji-chan:

>"Right, where are you going Cirno ?"

> You get closer... Yes, it's Niji with someone else too.

> "Dunno... Maybe here?" Cirno thinks for a moment.
> "I saw sheeps near the lake too, so..." Daiyousei says.

Bastet-chan:

>"Wah ! Where a-are we going ?"

> "To the Blazing Hell~! Nyah!"
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"It is her ! NIJI !"
>Wave.

Niji-chan:

>"Eh ?"
>Turn around.
>"Kiku-chan ?"

Bastet-chan:

>"B-Blazing Hell ?! I don't wanna get burned !"

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"It is her ! NIJI !"
>Wave.

Niji-chan:

>"Eh ?"
>Turn around.
>"Kiku-chan ?"

> "Do you know one of those fairies?" Sakuya asks

> "Uh?" Cirno and Daiyousei turn.
> "Who are they...?" Marry asks.

Bastet-chan:

>"B-Blazing Hell ?! I don't wanna get burned !"

> "You won't."
> Koishi willingly stops falling and starts to float when you two reach a... literal sea of flames. It feels hot here.
> "But you will need to hang tightly."
> _

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>"U-Uh...."
>Hold tight !
>"W-What about our walk..."

Kiku-chan:

>"Yeah, she is part of our family, and one of the souls that was trapped in Daiko-kun."
>Nod.

Niji-chan:

>"That's my big sister Kiku-chan, and Miss Sakuya from the mansion."
>Head there.
>"How are you doing sis ?"

Kiku-chan:

>"I'm alright Niji-chan, thanks for asking."

[Tashi]

Bastet-chan:

>"U-Uh...."
>Hold tight !
>"W-What about our walk..."

> "What are you talking about? This our walk, hehe!"
> You grip further as Neko Koishi advances.
> You can see evil spirits lurking in the place.
> "This is where Orin and Okuu works." Koishi says.

Kiku-chan:

>"Yeah, she is part of our family, and one of the souls that was trapped in Daiko-kun."
>Nod.

Niji-chan:

>"That's my big sister Kiku-chan, and Miss Sakuya from the mansion."
>Head there.
>"How are you doing sis ?"

Kiku-chan:

>"I'm alright Niji-chan, thanks for asking."

> "Oh..." The fairies say.
> "Nice to meet you, Niji." Sakuya smiles a bit. "Huh... Another more mature fairy than usual..."
> _

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>"Orin works here ? And who is Okuu ?"

Kiku-chan:

>"Anyways, did you or your friends see anything weird at the mansion Niji-chan ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Uh... i don't think so... well... there was one thing, i saw someone get out of the Mansion before you did, i didn't pay it any mind because i thought it was Miss Sakuya or someone from the staff."

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>Shrug.
>"Maybe it's something with Niji. She's pretty unique..."

[Tashi]

Bastet-chan:

>"Orin works here ? And who is Okuu ?"

> "Okuu is Orin's best friend, as well as Orin is Okuu's best friend." Koishi replies. "I want to show them my new life as kitty!"

Kiku-chan:

>"Anyways, did you or your friends see anything weird at the mansion Niji-chan ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Uh... i don't think so... well... there was one thing, i saw someone get out of the Mansion before you did, i didn't pay it any mind because i thought it was Miss Sakuya or someone from the staff."

> "... It was a fairy or something? I don't think Lady Yuuka or Kurumi nor Elly went out." Sakuya says.

Tsuru:

>Shrug.
>"Maybe it's something with Niji. She's pretty unique..."

> Aya, Yamame, Kisume and Satori left the room.
> Kyouko returns her attention to you. "You took a while thinking about it..."
> _

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>"Uh... you know that Miss Satori can reverse it by wishing to turn you back to normal and letting me grant it right ?"

Niji-chan:

>"I dunno..."
>Try to recall anything memorable about the person, clothing or anything.

Kiku-chan:

>"Miss Patchouli and Koa stayed at the library too... and i am pretty sure that Miss Flan is asleep on her bed, since i put her there myself..."
>Look at Sakuya.
>"Does the Mistress sometimes leave without telling anyone ?"

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

> "Sorry... And you're still sticking around him? Even when the others left?"

[Tashi]

Bastet-chan:

>"Uh... you know that Miss Satori can reverse it by wishing to turn you back to normal and letting me grant it right ?"

> "Why would you do that? I'm just fine like this!"

Niji-chan:

>"I dunno..."
>Try to recall anything memorable about the person, clothing or anything.

> You recall... Aside of being too far to know how she/he look like, you can clearly remember that you saw said person with a umbrella. And, if your look doesn't trick you, then she/he has wings too.

Kiku-chan:

>"Miss Patchouli and Koa stayed at the library too... and i am pretty sure that Miss Flan is asleep on her bed, since i put her there myself..."
>Look at Sakuya.
>"Does the Mistress sometimes leave without telling anyone ?"

> Sakuya shakes her head. "Not that I know, at least... She always let me know if she's leaving somewhere, or orders me to go with her."
> "Bye Niji! Bye Marry! You guys are too slow!" Cirno waves as she flies to the forest near the lake.
> "S-Sorry. See you later." Daiyousei follows.
> "B-Bye." Marry waves back.

Tsuru:

> "Sorry... And you're still sticking around him? Even when the others left?"

> Kyouko hesitates a bit, before nodding.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Oh ! I remember that said person had an umbrella ! And they also had wings too !"
>Can we tell how the wings looked like ? The color or size at least ?

Kiku-chan:

>"Wings ? Then could it be..."
>Look at Sakuya.
>"Maybe she did leave... but why ?"

Bastet-chan:

>"And you were just fine before too, in the end, if she does complain, i gotta undo it sadly..."

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>"Well, let's get with the group then."

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"Oh ! I remember that said person had an umbrella ! And they also had wings too !"
>Can we tell how the wings looked like ? The color or size at least ?

Kiku-chan:

>"Wings ? Then could it be..."
>Look at Sakuya.
>"Maybe she did leave... but why ?"

> You don't think their size was so big, just like Remilia's wings.

> "..." Sakuya is silent for some seconds. "I think that we need to postpone the shopping. I don't find it normal that the Mistress doesn't give me any advice that she is leaving."

Bastet-chan:

>"And you were just fine before too, in the end, if she does complain, i gotta undo it sadly..."

> "Then can't you just grant me a wish to hide them at my pleasure?"

Tsuru:

>"Well, let's get with the group then."

> "... Okay."
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"I think so too... do you have any idea where she went ?"

Niji-chan:

>Try to recall the direction it went.

Bastet-chan:

>"Sorry, but you have to be honest to her, it would make things worse if she found out you did that AND hid it from her."

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>"Something wrong?"

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"I think so too... do you have any idea where she went ?"

Niji-chan:

>Try to recall the direction it went.

> You think that she went to the direction of the Human Village.
> Sakuya looks at Red and Blue with curiosity.

Bastet-chan:

>"Sorry, but you have to be honest to her, it would make things worse if she found out you did that AND hid it from her."

> "Hmmm..." Koishi grumbles as she looks ahead.
> You can see Orin carrying... some kind of wheeled thing.

Tsuru:

>"Something wrong?"

> "..." Kyouko looks to the side. "None at all."
> _

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>Pet Koishi.

Kiku-chan:

>"Oh yeah, mind explaining those clones to us Niji ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Ah right ! I can split parts of me into clones that are connected to me, real neat right ? I can also manipulate light too.

Red and Blue:

>"Yep !"

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>Poke her cheek.
>"You suuure?"

[Tashi]

Bastet-chan:

>Pet Koishi.

> "Orin!" Koishi calls as you pet her.
> "E-Eh?" Orin turns. "Hello, Ko_^ishi-sa-..." The kasha slowly stops her sentence as she realizes the new look of Koishi.
> "Do you like it? This is Neko Koishi, patented by little Bastet!" Koishi winks.
> Orin just remains silent.

Kiku-chan:

>"Oh yeah, mind explaining those clones to us Niji ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Ah right ! I can split parts of me into clones that are connected to me, real neat right ? I can also manipulate light too.

Red and Blue:

>"Yep !"

> "... Interesting..." Sakuya says.
> "Yeh. I couldn't believe it myself the first time I saw it." Marry scratches her hair.
> "Oh, and you are?"
> "Marry Shepherd."

Tsuru:

>Poke her cheek.
>"You suuure?"

> You poke Kyouko's cheek, prompting her to move away a bit and look at you.
> "W-What was that for?"
> _
