[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Alright, gimme a minute."
>FutureSight Aya.

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>Enter !
>"Wanna have a chat ?"

> You open the door. Now you see a disaster of a room.
> The blankets of Flandre's bed are all ripped up, the chunks of it lying all over the room. The same goes for her pillows.
> She's pulling the head of a plushie right now. She has an upset face covered with tears.
> "I'm not in the m-mood..." She tears the head of the plushie.

Niji-chan:

>"Okay, now everyone stand back while Shanghai and Hourai group up and combine the books.
>Do so.

> You order everyone to stand back, and they do so. You stay back too.
> Shanghai and Hourai have nervous looks.
> "S-Shang..."
> "H-Hour..."
> "... ... Houraaai!/Shanghaaai!" They fly to each other at high speed, colliding the books.
> There's a small explosion of purple smoke.
> "H-Hourai! Shanghai!"

Daiko:

>"Alright, gimme a minute."
>FutureSight Aya.

> You future-sight Aya.
> ...
> She's seemingly writting something, in a desk.

Vision!Daiko:

>"Excuse me. Aya? Someone wants to meet with you at the mountain... It's something serious."

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"Don't worry, you can vent off what you feel to me."
>Smile.
>"I'm not here for you as a maid, but as a friend Flan."

Niji-chan:

>Look worried and approach.
>"Are you okay ? Did it work ?"

[Tashi]

Vision!Daiko:

>"Excuse me. Aya? Someone wants to meet with you at the mountain... It's something serious."

> "Huh?" V!Aya turns to see you. "... What the?"

Kiku-chan:

>"Don't worry, you can vent off what you feel to me."
>Smile.
>"I'm not here for you as a maid, but as a friend Flan."

> "..." She looks at you for a few moments, her tears now being waterfalls. "Waaah!!" She flies to you and hugs you tightly. I-I doesn't feel bad... but you hope she doesn't tighten it even more...

Niji-chan:

>Look worried and approach.
>"Are you okay ? Did it work ?"

> You approach to the ball of smoke.
> "... Shang (Yes.)" You can hear Shanghai.
> "Houra rai? (It really worked?)" Hourai asks.
> The smoke dissipates. There are Shanghai and Hourai, like before. The books are in the snow.

[Neovereign]

Vision!Daiko:

>"It's something I can do. Anyways, will you meet with them?"

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Okay, Hourai, please raise your hand."

Kiku-chan:

>Gently pat her back.
>"Easy.... easy.... relax dear..."

[Tashi]

Vision!Daiko:

>"It's something I can do. Anyways, will you meet with them?"

> "Wait, wait, WAIT." V!Aya says. "Who's looking for me, to begin with? Remember that I'm undercover? I can't see anyone."

Niji-chan:

>"Okay, Hourai, please raise your hand."

> Hourai raises her hand. "Rai. (Here.)"
> "So, it worked..." Kokoro says.
> "It... seems that way..." Marry adds.
> Marisa lets out a relieved sigh. "Thanks, Niji..."

> (White) You can hear more voices coming from downhill.

Kiku-chan:

>Gently pat her back.
>"Easy.... easy.... relax dear..."

> You reassure Flandre, who slowly starts to calm down. She's still crying, however.

> (Bastet) You stretch a bit as you start to open your eyes.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Can I tell her who it is?"

Vision!Daiko:

>"It's..."

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>"Mm....."
>Look around.

Niji-chan:

>"No problem Miss Alice, now it's your turn, you can just repeat what you did earlier, but just you two this time."

Niji White:

>Look over.

Kiku-chan:

>"Tell me everything."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Can I tell her who it is?"

Vision!Daiko:

>"It's..."

> "Uh... Yes, please." Hatate nods. "It's not like she's here, however... So what is he doing...?" She mumbles to herself.

> V!Aya waits.

Bastet-chan:

>"Mm....."
>Look around.

> You look around. It seems you are in a room, lying down in a comfy bed. The structure indicates that you are in the palace.

Niji-chan:

>"No problem Miss Alice, now it's your turn, you can just repeat what you did earlier, but just you two this time."

Niji White:

>Look over.

> "Alright." Marisa grabs one book.
> "Oke." Alice grabs the other.
> They do the same thing. The books are glowing now.
> "Now! Let's do it!" Alice raises her book.

> You look downhill.
> Those are Cirno and Daiyousei. Cirno is... rolling a frozen sheep through the snow, going uphill. Daiyousei has clearly a concerned look. They didn't noticed you yet.

Kiku-chan:

>"Tell me everything."

> "O-Onee-sama... she said... and then... I was mad... and then... Waaah!!" She sinks her face in your chest, hugging you tighter.
> It's better if she lets you go... It hurts a bit...
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"Ugh... um, Flan, relax... you are hugging a bit too strongly..."

Bastet-chan:

>Rest just a bit more.

Niji White:

>"Cirno ! Don't freeze the sheep please ! Or they will die..."

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"Ugh... um, Flan, relax... you are hugging a bit too strongly..."

> Flandre lets you go. She starts wiping her eyes.

Bastet-chan:

>Rest just a bit more.

> You keep resting...

Niji White:

>"Cirno ! Don't freeze the sheep please ! Or they will die..."

> "Eh?" Cirno looks up. "They will not... ... HEEEY! H-How did you reached there first?!" Cirno keeps rolling, now with more speed.
> "C-Cirno-chan..." Daiyousei sighs.

> Alice and Marisa collide the books, making another explosion of purple smoke.
> You can feel how the air change. Alice and Marisa's magic, maybe?
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"It's alright... take some more breaths, then speak."

Niji-chan:

>"Did it work ?"

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"It's alright... take some more breaths, then speak."

> Flandre keeps wiping her eyes, taking long breaths to calm down.
> Once she finishes, she looks at you. "O-Onee-sama is... a meanie..."

Niji-chan:

>"Did it work ?"

> The smoke dissipates.
> "... Hell yeah!" Marisa raises her thumbs up.
> "Finally..." Alice sighs, relieved.
> "Thanks fairy. I didn't thought you were going to be the one that was going to help us." Marisa smiles.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"No probl-hey ! Don't be like that on fairies !"
>Pout.

Kiku-chan:

>"Why dear ?"

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"No probl-hey ! Don't be like that on fairies !"
>Pout.

> "Hey, how in the world I was going to know that a fairy was going to help us? Don't blame me." Marisa shrugs.
> "I'm sorry for Marisa, Niji. It's just that... fairies don't have that much of respect." Alice says.

Kiku-chan:

>"Why dear ?"

> "B-Because I requested her to let me out for some days for my birthday... b-but she didn't let me... And she always has me inside heeere!" She starts crying again.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Alright."

Vision!Daiko:

>"It's Hatate."

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"I see... okay Flan, tell me, if you got outside, what would you do ?"

Niji-chan:

>"But that's not fair ! Humans and youkai have family and friends and people to teach you about stuff, but almost all the fairies have none of that ! It's really mean..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Alright."

Vision!Daiko:

>"It's Hatate."

> V!Aya jolts. "... ... About what?"

Kiku-chan:

>"I see... okay Flan, tell me, if you got outside, what would you do ?"

> "Play! Have lotsa fun!" Flandre replies. "B-But onee-sama do not let me to do it! Even tomorrow, when my birthday is going to take place!"

Niji-chan:

>"But that's not fair ! Humans and youkai have family and friends and people to teach you about stuff, but almost all the fairies have none of that ! It's really mean..."

> "S-Sorry, but that's not my fault." Alice says. "Everyone has their reasons to dislike fairies, I think. But you... well, you and Marry are really nice ones."
> "Uh... Thanks?" Marry says.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"Well... what kind of games would you play ? Because it wouldn't be nice if you hurt someone."

Niji-chan:

>"If people want fairies to behave better, why not treat them as regular orphan child instead of hopeless cases ?"

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Want me to tell her anything specific? What it's about? Where exactly to meet? Just treat me like a card you're going to send her, alright?"

Vision!Daiko"

>"Something important."

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"Well... what kind of games would you play ? Because it wouldn't be nice if you hurt someone."

> "Danmaku!" Flandre suddenly cheers up. "Lotsa danmaku!"

Niji-chan:

>"If people want fairies to behave better, why not treat them as regular orphan child instead of hopeless cases ?"

> "I guess because no one wants to take the responsability of mischievous fairies." Alice shrugs.
> "Though there are some hopeless cases, most surely..." Marisa adds.

Daiko:

>"Want me to tell her anything specific? What it's about? Where exactly to meet? Just treat me like a card you're going to send her, alright?"

Vision!Daiko"

>"Something important."

> V!Aya is silent.
> "W-Well... t-tell her that Momiji and I want to talk with her... That's all..." Hatate says.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"There is always hope to me..."
>Sigh.
>"Did anyone try it for real though ?"

Kiku-chan:

>"Well, that isn't so bad... but don't you have trouble controlling your strength ? What if you hurt someone ?"

[Neovereign]

Vision!Daiko:

>"It's Momiji and Hatate..."

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"There is always hope to me..."
>Sigh.
>"Did anyone try it for real though ?"

> Alice and Marisa shrugs.
> "Why not take the initiative?" Kokoro asks.
> "I-I really don't have any reason to do it..." Alice responds.
> "Me neither." Marisa comments.

Kiku-chan:

>"Well, that isn't so bad... but don't you have trouble controlling your strength ? What if you hurt someone ?"

> "... But..." Flandre suddenly looks down. "Everyone is good at danmaku... isn't it?"

Vision!Daiko:

>"It's Momiji and Hatate..."

> "WHAT?!" She jolts again. "... ..." V!Aya thinks. "... ... I'm busy. I will talk with them later."
> _

[Neovereign]

Vision!Daiko:

>"I'm talking to Hatate right now. I'm leaving to my own things after this. Are you sure you want me to tell her later?"

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Well there we have it, everyone complains about the fairies, but nobody tries to solve it by educating them, both sides are in the wrong."

Kiku-chan:

>"Not really Flan, most people aren't nearly as skilled or strong as you are, sure, there are some around, but it's not very likely to find them..."
>Shake our head.

[Tashi]

Vision!Daiko:

>"I'm talking to Hatate right now. I'm leaving to my own things after this. Are you sure you want me to tell her later?"

> "... Really sure."

Niji-chan:

>"Well there we have it, everyone complains about the fairies, but nobody tries to solve it by educating them, both sides are in the wrong."

> "... Hm..." Kokoro places a hand in her chin and looks up, as if she is thinking.
> "Uh?" Marry looks at her.
> "... What if we get fairies follow a religion?" Kokoro suggests.
> "A... religion?" Alice asks.
> "Uh-huh. Like Taoism or Buddhism."

Kiku-chan:

>"Not really Flan, most people aren't nearly as skilled or strong as you are, sure, there are some around, but it's not very likely to find them..."
>Shake our head.

> "But... butbutbut... what about Marisa? She's a great friend mine... and she's a human! And she's really super duper good! Why people isn't like she?" Flandre tilts her head.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"She says she's busy right now, and that she'll talk later..."
