Tsuru:

>"Because something seems to be worrying you."

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"Because something seems to be worrying you."

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>"She wished to be like this, and turns out my ability is to grant wishes... don't worry, we will revert it if we need to."

Niji-chan:

>"She went to the human village i think, you better catch up with her."

Kiku-chan:

>Nod.
>"Shall we Chief Maid ?"
>Once we are ready depart to the human village.

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>Shrug.
>"Lets just go then. Uh, where did they go?"

[Tashi]

Bastet-chan:

>"She wished to be like this, and turns out my ability is to grant wishes... don't worry, we will revert it if we need to."

> "Uh... Okay...?" Orin blinks.
> "Oh, come on. I look nice just like this. Nyah~." She wags her tai.
> "... I need to process all this information, sorry..." Orin laughs a bit.

Niji-chan:

>"She went to the human village i think, you better catch up with her."

Kiku-chan:

>Nod.
>"Shall we Chief Maid ?"
>Once we are ready depart to the human village.

> Sakuya only nods and start heading there. Kiku follows.
> As you follow them with your look, you can see that Kokoro is heading towards you.

Tsuru:

>Shrug.
>"Lets just go then. Uh, where did they go?"

> "Aya asked Miss Satori if she can give any kind of additional information in the form of a book at least. Yamame and Kisume probably are returning to where we met them."
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>"What about Sakura? She's not back yet?"

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"What about Sakura? She's not back yet?"

> "Nuh-uh. She went to talk with Yuugi somewhere... I'm kinda curious, though... Ever since we reached the Underworld she talked about having a conversation with Yuugi and Suika."
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>"Probably something about Daiko's mom or the tremors..."

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"Probably something about Daiko's mom or the tremors..."

> "... Is Daiko really hurt about the disappearance of her mother...?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>"He's never even met her."

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"He's never even met her."

> "... He wants to talk...?"
> _

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>"...do you ?"

Niji-chan:

>Wave at her.

Kiku-chan:

>"I wonder if she went to look for Daiko-kun..."

Bastet-chan:

>"So where is this Okuu anyways ?

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"...do you ?"

> "... M-Maybe..."

Niji-chan:

>Wave at her.

> You wave at Kokoro, who lands in front of you.
> "Hi again." Kokoro says.

Kiku-chan:

>"I wonder if she went to look for Daiko-kun...

> "What makes you think that?" Sakuya asks.

Bastet-chan:

>"So where is this Okuu anyways ?

> "Okuu?"
> "I want to show Okuu my new self too!"
> "Oh... I was going where she is, anyways. So let's go~" Orin advances.
> Koishi follows.

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"They had a talk together, so i dunno... maybe about whatever it is that the kappa were building."

Daiko-kun:

>"..."
>Swap.
>"I guess...."

Niji-chan:

>"So what were you talking about ?"

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"They had a talk together, so i dunno... maybe about whatever it is that the kappa were building."

> "Hmm..."
> Who do you think it's Remilia lands not in the Human Village, but...
> "... The Road of Reconsideration?" Sakuya asks.

Daiko-kun:

>"..."
>Swap.
>"I guess...."

> "... Is everything alright?"

Niji-chan:

>"So what were you talking about ?"

> "I was able to talk with Sanny."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Not really..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Not really..."

> "Well... I'm right here to hear if you want to be heard..."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Sit down somewhere.
>"Long ago I used to frequently go to school with a bunch of others in the village. I had a lot of friends and many looked up to me, especially praising me on my intelligence. I had a best friend who was up there in smarts with me, too. Then I started to stay home because I started to think things were getting to be a nuisance."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

> You sit next to the Yamabiko.
> "B-But... why? You are so nice..."
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"That's great ! So how did things go ?"

Kiku-chan:

>"But why... ?"
>What do we know about the road.

Bastet-chan:

>"Tired...granting wishes is hard..."

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"That's great ! So how did things go ?"

> "..." Kokoro thinks for a moment. "Hmm... How do I put this..."
> "Uh?" Marry asks.
> "... She rejected Kogasa, but not just that. She said to her that she can't love someone who suddenly just appears to annoy her everyday. She told to Kogasa that if she doesn't go away from her, then she will take more "harsh actions" to force her to. The last thing she did to Kogasa was hit her in the forehead with her gohei." Kokoro finishes.
> "..." Marry stutters. "W-W-Wha..."

Kiku-chan:

>"But why... ?"
>What do we know about the road.

> Oh, you have the great amount of ZERO knowledge about that road.
> Remilia(?) starts to walk to the road.
> "Kiku, stay here." Sakuya orders. "That road is dangerous. I will follow the Mistress."

Bastet-chan:

>"Tired...granting wishes is hard..."

> "You only granted one, doesn't it?" Koishi asks.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>Look in shock.
>"S-She doesn't even regret t-that ?!"

Bastet-chan:

>"But it was super tiring..."

Kiku-chan:

>"I am not backing down and leaving you two alone, you saw that i am as capable of a fight as you are, so please let me protect her alongside you."

Daiko-kun:

>"Things started to look like a waste of time i could be using to further my knowledge, so i just became a shut in, reading books like i was devouring food."

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>Look in shock.
>"S-She doesn't even regret t-that ?!"

> "She said she didn't wanted to sound so harsh, but in the end was like that." Kokoro replies. "I guess she didn't pondered what she was going to say. That's why Sanny is so furious and sad with herself."
> "... That sounds... really SAD..."

Bastet-chan:

>"But it was super tiring..."

> "Okay..."
> "Well, it's a WISH. It can be anything, right? It's normal for you to be tired after a single one. That's, to begin with, infinitely broad." Orin says.
> As you keep advancing, you think you feel the place... less hot?

Kiku-chan:

>"I am not backing down and leaving you two alone, you saw that i am as capable of a fight as you are, so please let me protect her alongside you."

> "... Fine." Sakuya lands in the beginning of the road. She starts walking.

Daiko-kun:

>"Things started to look like a waste of time i could be using to further my knowledge, so i just became a shut in, reading books like i was devouring food."

> "... So you saw everyone like garbage...?" Kyouko frowns. "Are you for real?"
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Do as she did.
>"So this road... not even Daiko read about it, what do you know of it ?"

Bastet-chan:

>"I dunno... there must be an limit of course..."

Niji-chan:

>"...."
>Look down.

Daiko-kun:

>"Not like garbage ! ...more like i thought that finding out the answers to solve problems that could have come would have been more important, like an sage meditating..."

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>Do as she did.
>"So this road... not even Daiko read about it, what do you know of it ?"

> "Very little about it... I just know that it's dangerous for humans and youkais alike." Sakuya replies. "Where are you going, Mistress...?"
> Remilia(?) is nowhere to be seen.

Bastet-chan:

>"I dunno... there must be an limit of course..."

> "Well, it's obvious you need to rest if you want to do another." Koishi says.
> "... Huh?" Orin stops.

Niji-chan:

>"...."
>Look down.

> "Niji-chan...?" Marry calls you in a worried tone.

Daiko-kun:

>"Not like garbage ! ...more like i thought that finding out the answers to solve problems that could have come would have been more important, like an sage meditating..."

> "More important than being with those that are close to you?" Kyouko maintains her frown.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Both of my parents were gone, in one way or another, so it was just me and Grandma Sakura. I really only cared about her back then... She tried all she could to try and convince me to start going out again, and a few days ago, I finally did. I met my best friend from long ago again, and she accompanied me while I went on to do an errand for Sakura. We also decided to participate in the Danmaku Festival. Things were looking brighter, knowing that she was literally one of two people who still cared about me outside of home."
>Sigh.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Sigh.

> "T-Two? Y-You are exaggerating, isn't it? How can only two have been worried for you? What about your other friends?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Maybe there were more, but nearly all of them gave up on me. Miss Keine and my best friend Arukas... Then, something pretty bad happened, a bit after that night when I discovered Kiku..."

[Monarda]

Daiko:

>"Maybe there were more, but nearly all of them gave up on me. Miss Keine and my best friend Arukas... Then, something pretty bad happened, a bit after that night when I discovered Kiku..."

>Before the bad event part, add in: "That day was also the first day where i met Kokoro-chan, she was following me while i was finishing the shopping list for some reason, and for some reason even i don't fully understand, i went to an empty spot in the village and waited for her to come, where we had an very interesting chat together..."

Kiku-chan:

>"Maybe this have anything to do with that machine the kappa made ?"

Bastet-chan:

>"Yeah... thanks for giving me a ride Koishi-chan..."

Niji-chan:

>"I-I'm okay... i just... this isn't right..."

[Tashi]

>Before the bad event part, add in: "That day was also the first day where i met Kokoro-chan, she was following me while i was finishing the shopping list for some reason, and for some reason even i don't fully understand, i went to an empty spot in the village and waited for her to come, where we had an very interesting chat together..."

> Kyouko looks away for a second. "I see... Guess that's where you and her... Uhm..."

Daiko:

>"Maybe there were more, but nearly all of them gave up on me. Miss Keine and my best friend Arukas... Then, something pretty bad happened, a bit after that night when I discovered Kiku..."

> "..." Kyouko places a hand in your arm. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to..."

Kiku-chan:

>"Maybe this have anything to do with that machine the kappa made ?"

> "Honestly, I don't know what she's doing."
> You two keep walking in the road. Red lillies at the sides of it... it's almost like the snow is painted with blood.
> Remilia(?) still needs to be seen.

Bastet-chan:

>"Yeah... thanks for giving me a ride Koishi-chan..."

> "No prob." Koishi looks at Orin. "What's wrong, Orin?"
> "... Why is ice here?" Orin points to a great hole, away from the sea of flames, that leads even more underground. There's an small stalactite at the side of it.

Niji-chan:

>"I-I'm okay... i just... this isn't right..."

> "What do you mean...?"
