Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 9

[Tashi]

Niji Green:

>Is the card the same as the one found at the village ?

> ... It isn't. Instead of a bat silhouette, you think it's the silhouette of Seija's head.

V!Daiko:

>"Tell me what they look like as soon as you can."

> "O-Okay..."
> ...
> "... They didn't came here..."
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Green:

>What about the other one ? The same ?
>Once done, leave them and go back to following her !

Niji Blue:

>"Drat... she knows i am following her it seems... i will still keep an eye on her."

Niji-chan:

>"We dunno ! But someone seems to be trying to frame the Scarlet Mansion for it."

Kiku-chan:

>Where are we ?
>Are we walking through an corridor ? If so, start knocking on the wall.

[Tashi]

Niji Green:

>What about the other one ? The same ?
>Once done, leave them and go back to following her !

> The same.
> You leave the cards right where they are and you keep following Seija.
> She's heading to the Youkai Mountain.

Niji Blue:

>"Drat... she knows i am following her it seems... i will still keep an eye on her."

> Sakura pokes your side. "You really aren't good at stealthing, isn't it?" She giggles.

Niji-chan:

>"We dunno ! But someone seems to be trying to frame the Scarlet Mansion for it."

> "The... mansion of Remilia...?"
> "Hah! Well deserved." Kanako laughs.
> "Don't be like that, please." Sanae frowns at Kanako.
> The goddess only pouts in response.
> Sanae returns her attention to you. "Is there something I can help with?"

Kiku-chan:

>Where are we ?
>Are we walking through an corridor ? If so, start knocking on the wall.

> You are. Sakuya asked if you were going to start your duty as a maid.
> You knock the wall.
> "... Uhm..." Sakuya raises an eyebrow, questioningly.
> _

[Neovereign]

Niji:

>"But Kiku-chan works there... I don't want something bad happening to her..."

Daiko:

>FutureSight/IkoVision (since both DaIKO and HimIKO can use it. ^{_{Just gotta pronounce it differently for Himiko...}}) Remilia. ^{_{Name's probably not gonna stick...}}

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"...why did i do this... ?"
>Look confused.
>"Weird..."

Niji Blue:

>"Not really, i even made my body transparent to be harder to see... but she saw me anyways..."

Niji Green:

>Keep going.
>Is she headed to the Shrine ?

Niji-chan:

>"And yeah, we know they are in some Mansion around, one of the kidnapped fairies woke up and said she was in an room with purple stuff and many dolls, the door was locked too, and there was an painting of an male vampire there too."

[Tashi]

Niji:

>"But Kiku-chan works there... I don't want something bad happening to her..."

> "Hm? Who?" Sanae asks.

Daiko:

>FutureSight/IkoVision (since both DaIKO and HimIKO can use it. ^{_{Just gotta pronounce it differently for Himiko...}}) Remilia. ^{_{Name's probably not gonna stick...}}

//That's... actually pretty clever.

> You future-sight/IkoVision Remilia.
> "You know something? I'm not exactly in the mood to talk. What do you want?" V!Remilia asks in a really annoyed tone.

Kiku-chan:

>"...why did i do this... ?"
>Look confused.
>"Weird..."

> "I guess that happens when you have something in mind and then you forget it. Want a redo?"
> "... I repeat my question?" Sakuya asks.

Niji Blue:

>"Not really, i even made my body transparent to be harder to see... but she saw me anyways..."

> "Maybe she was expecting you to follow her?" Mystia asks.

Niji Green:

>Keep going.
>Is she headed to the Shrine ?

> You keep following Seija.
> It seems so. It's not going to take so long for her to reach there.

Niji-chan:

>"And yeah, we know they are in some Mansion around, one of the kidnapped fairies woke up and said she was in an room with purple stuff and many dolls, the door was locked too, and there was an painting of an male vampire there too."

> "Fairies? Did Remilia also capture fairies? Why? She already have enough fairy maids in her mansion..." Sanae pauses. "... I think, at least."
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Please excuse me, but I've heard from one of the fairies that were kidnapped from our house. I think she's in a mansion where her and her friends are locked in a 'comfortable' room with a lot of purple things and dolls. There's a painting of, well, a male vampire... Fangs, creepy eyes... it's how she described it, at least."

[Monarda]

>That Seija Presentation Card, did it have the same or similar style as the Bat one ? With Seija's head on the same spot as the Bat was, size, material and artwork ?

Niji-chan:

>"Nono, you got it all wrong, they seem to have no idea about that at all, someone is framing them for it it seems."
>Nod.
>"Also, this Seija person seems to be heading over here, i dunno why though..."

Niji Blue:

>"Probably... but i can't become fully invisible..."

Niji Green:

>Hmm... try going into light form and spreading our energy all around, being many, many pieces of unnoticeable green light rather than one big bright one.
>If it doesn't work, go back to our usual technique.

Kiku-chan:

>"Eh ? Oh, uhm, may i still investigate this matter on behalf of the mansion still ? I wanna solve this peacefully, especially since Niji also lost her doll."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"Please excuse me, but I've heard from one of the fairies that were kidnapped from our house. I think she's in a mansion where her and her friends are locked in a 'comfortable' room with a lot of purple things and dolls. There's a painting of, well, a male vampire... Fangs, creepy eyes... it's how she described it, at least."

> V!Remilia almost loses her usual composure. "W-What?! A vampire?!" She pauses for a moment.

>That Seija Presentation Card, did it have the same or similar style as the Bat one ? With Seija's head on the same spot as the Bat was, size, material and artwork ?

> Everything was like the bat card.

Niji-chan:

>"Nono, you got it all wrong, they seem to have no idea about that at all, someone is framing them for it it seems."
>Nod.
>"Also, this Seija person seems to be heading over here, i dunno why though..."

> "Seija?!"
> "Another troublemaker?" Kanako sighs. "Well, just my luck!"
> "Y-You also made such a ruckus time ago..."
> "Business ruckus! Enough said." Kanako grins.

Niji Blue:

>"Probably... but i can't become fully invisible..."

> "Huh... That might be too much OP good to happen..." Sakura says. "Oh! Suika and Yuugi! They might lend a hand in all this matter too!"

Niji Green:

>Hmm... try going into light form and spreading our energy all around, being many, many pieces of unnoticeable green light rather than one big bright one.
>If it doesn't work, go back to our usual technique.

> You turn into light.
> You try to spread your own energy in pieces-
> Woah, woah, woah! What is happening?! You are seeing so much times the Youkai Mountain and Seija from a bit different perspectives from your original one!
> Now you are playing Agar.io Quest.

Kiku-chan:

>"Eh ? Oh, uhm, may i still investigate this matter on behalf of the mansion still ? I wanna solve this peacefully, especially since Niji also lost her doll."

> "... Alright." Sakuya looks at Reimu.
> "... Nothing out of the blue."
> "Are you satisfied?" Asks Sakuya with a frown.
> "Not yet. I'll see Flandre and Patchouli. Also, I'd like to see Remilia."
> "The Mistress is not in the mood to talk right now."
> "Oh, yea? Well, I don't think that having a whole furious village at the doors of her mansion will do any better." The shrine maiden returns the frown with an unamused face.
> "Remember you aren't at your home, Reimu. Your word here isn't absolute." Sakuya says coldly.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"That's what we believe it might be. There was also a card with a bat on it, from what I recall. I think that's what's turning attention to you..."

Daiko:

>Have we seen any of the children before? Darn our hikikomori phase...

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"Please calm down here, an fight would only make things worse."

Niji Blue:

>"....! Sakura-sama ! That card Seija had ! The design on it was almost exactly the same as the bat one ! The size, the material, the art, it only had the difference being her head instead of a bat !"

Niji Green:

>Well look for ourselves ! Can we see us ?
>Keep an eye on Seija more closely too, to hear what she has to say.
>Also make a part of our pieces go back and examine the card.

Niji-chan:

>"...! That card of hers ! She might be the one framing the Scarlet Mansion !"

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"That's what we believe it might be. There was also a card with a bat on it, from what I recall. I think that's what's turning attention to you..."

Daiko:

>Have we seen any of the children before? Darn our hikikomori phase...

> "Vampire, vampire, vampire..." V!Remilia repeats to herself. "Of course. OF COURSE!" She says in a more angry tone.

> You... didn't really paid attention to those kids in your sporadic departures from home, so you don't recall their appearances...

Kiku-chan:

>"Please calm down here, an fight would only make things worse."

> Reimu doesn't say anything and just heads to the basement.
> Sakuya only follows.

Niji Blue:

>"....! Sakura-sama ! That card Seija had ! The design on it was almost exactly the same as the bat one ! The size, the material, the art, it only had the difference being her head instead of a bat !"

> "Her... head?"
> "... Welp. That's narcissism at it's biggest level." Kyouko jokes.

Niji Green:

>Well look for ourselves ! Can we see us ?
>Keep an eye on Seija more closely too, to hear what she has to say.
>Also make a part of our pieces go back and examine the card.

> You can. You are still a light ball, but a much smaller one. There are others around you, and you can see too from them. Ugh, this is even more confusign than your clones...
> You follow Seija more closer. She is silent for the mo-
> "Let's see..." She mumbles.
> The Amanojaku is about to be in the eyesight of the shrine residents.

> You make another of your light balls to return to the forest.
> Marisa and Alice are going to the village.
> You return to see the ca- They aren't there anymore.

Niji-chan:

>"...! That card of hers ! She might be the one framing the Scarlet Mansion !"

> "I'm... actually not so surprised..." Sanae replies.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"So?"

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"She is almost here, look out for her."
>Point to the direction she is coming from.

Kiku-chan:

>Follow too.

Niji Blue:

>"Yeah... but i think she somehow swapped her head with the bat icon, to frame the Mansion."

Niji Green:

>Have it follow those two closely and listen.
>Keep an look on Seija.

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"So?"

> "Why I didn't thought about it? Damn! So obvious!" She... keeps talking to herself.

Niji-chan:

>"She is almost here, look out for her."
>Point to the direction she is coming from.

> As soon as you point there, Seija is in sight.
> "Hey, Moriya Shrine resi-"
> ... And as soon as she speaks, a flying gohei hits Seija's forehead with... you think with great strength, since Seija bent backwards.
> "... Gotcha." Sanae is in a position as if she throwed something...

Niji Green:

>Have it follow those two closely and listen.
>Keep an look on Seija.

> You have the light follow Alice and Marisa.
> "Who's the perpetrator of such an abominable crime, Robin?!" Marisa acts a voice.
> "Wha... ... I'm not going to ask." Alice sighs. "Niji knocked at my door and just told me that the kids of the village disappeared."
> "The fairy?" Marisa looks at the presentation card at her hand. "This was at my home, sooo..."
> This one it's different. It's a magenta bat, instead of the scarlet one in the other.

> A super-gohei just hit Seija in the face. That must HURT.
> Seija starts to fall.

Kiku-chan:

>Follow too.

> You, Sakuya and Reimu reach the basement library.
> "Patchouli." Reimu speaks.
> "Hm?" She turns her attention from her book to her. "May I help you?"
> "U-Uh?" Koa glances at Reimu.

Niji Blue:

>"Yeah... but i think she somehow swapped her head with the bat icon, to frame the Mansion."

> "Uhm... Why she has a presentation card with her face? Did she want to announce her triumphal entrance to others?" Kyouko jokes.
> "She might get hit if she suddenly appears..." Mystia adds.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"What is it!? Who is it!?"

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"What is it!? Who is it!?"

> "It's... It's...!" She looks at you, unamused. "It's probably a vampire..."
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Okay, we assumed that part already. Anything else?"

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"Okay, we assumed that part already. Anything else?"

> "Between vampires exist a great amount of rivalry. As far as I'm concerned, there are no vampires aside of me or my sister... err... and Kurumi..." V!Remilia says. "That would explain WHY those bastards are trying to point to me as a culprit of kidnap."
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"So we first have to find another mansion and find out where they're at..."

Daiko:

>"I think there might be another vampire trying to blame them just for you guys to get them out of the way..."

An available Niji:

>Catch that Seija!

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"So we first have to find another mansion and find out where they're at..."

Daiko:

>"I think there might be another vampire trying to blame them just for you guys to get them out of the way..."

> "And don't doubt I'll demolish them when they are found."

> "Vam..."
> "... pires...?" Mystia completes for Kyouko.
> "So vampires, huh?" Marisa and Alice arrive.

An available Niji:

>Catch that Seija!

> Niji quickly heads to catch Seija.
> Luckily, you arrive just in time before she hits the snow. Probably she was going to roll all the way down of the mountain and... Nope, you don't want to remember what happened yesterday.
> The Amanojaku is unconscious. Her forehead has the mark of the gohei.
> _

[Neovereign]

//I'm for taking Seija home...
Daiko:

>"Seems like it..."

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>Head back to Sanae
>"You know... that wasn't the most sensate thing to do... if i hadn't catched her in time she could have died Miss Sanae..."

Niji Green:

>"Miss Alice ! Miss Marisa !"
>Gather up the pieces of our lighr near them.
>"Finally i found you."

Niji Blue:

>"...and she did..."

[Tashi]

//I'm for taking Seija home...
Daiko:

>"Seems like it..."

> "So this candy-card..." Marisa shows her presentation card. "... it's from another vampire aside of Remilia?"
> "That's... actually amusing..." Alice says. "I didn't expected to another vampire or family of vampires to arrive at Gensokyo too..."
> "That's to be confirmed, so..." Sakura says.

Niji-chan:

>Head back to Sanae
>"You know... that wasn't the most sensate thing to do... if i hadn't catched her in time she could have died Miss Sanae..."

> You return while holding Seija.
> "Uhm... Sorry. I just wanted to get her efficiently... and quickly..." Sanae scratches her head.
> "Now that's some efficiency." Kanako approaches and examines Seija.

Niji Green:

>"Miss Alice ! Miss Marisa !"
>Gather up the pieces of our lighr near them.
>"Finally i found you."

> You gather up the pieces you used to follow the pair of magicians.
> "Eh? Niji?" Asks Alice. "... Where's Yuudachi?"

Niji Blue:

>"...and she did..."

> "... Nah, stop joking around." Kyouko comments.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Green:

>"Y-Yuudachi... she... s-she... she was kidnapped t-too..."
>Sniff some.

NIji Blue:

>"No, i'm serious, the second Miss Sanae saw her, she launched her gohei at her like an arrow and it hit Seija dead on the forehead, she almost plummeted to her death..."

Niji-chan:

>"Well, couldn't you have used something to halt her movement ?"

[Tashi]

Niji Green:

>"Y-Yuudachi... she... s-she... she was kidnapped t-too..."
>Sniff some.

> "B-But how it did happened? Weren't you with her?"

NIji Blue:

>"No, i'm serious, the second Miss Sanae saw her, she launched her gohei at her like an arrow and it hit Seija dead on the forehead, she almost plummeted to her death..."

> "That's... radical... Why she did that?" Kyouko asks.
> "Woah! Sanny surely has a fierce nature!" Sakura giggles.

Niji-chan:

>"Well, couldn't you have used something to halt her movement ?"

> "S-Seija isn't actually someone who likes to be halted..." Sanae replies.
> "A little miracle wouldn't hurt." Kanako looks at her. "In fact, you left her bleeding."
> "E-Eh?!" Sanae examines Seija.
> _

[Neovereign]

Fairy-V!Daiko:

>"Hey, does the man in the painting have anything orange or yellow on?"

Daiko:

>"Tsuru said she glanced something orange go by silently in our house last night before all of this happened."

[Monarda]

Niji Green:

>"I-I was ! But... she just... vanished... a-and no trace of it was left... like nothing... no footprints, no signs of break in... almost like the person was a ghost..."

Niji Blue:

>Shrug.

Niji-chan:

>Examine too.

[Tashi]

Fairy-V!Daiko:

>"Hey, does the man in the painting have anything orange or yellow on?"

> "It doesn't seem to have any co-"
> ...
> "S-S-S-S-Someone opened the room!"

Daiko:

>"Tsuru said she glanced something orange go by silently in our house last night before all of this happened."

> "... Something orange...?" Orino mumbles.

Niji Green:

>"I-I was ! But... she just... vanished... a-and no trace of it was left... like nothing... no footprints, no signs of break in... almost like the person was a ghost..."

> "..." Alice rubs her hair, as if trying to connect any clue in her mind. "No... We have to find her, quickly. I just can't let something happen to that doll."

Niji Blue:

>Shrug.

> Shanghai and Hourai approach to you, looking worried.

Niji-chan:

>Examine too.

> Seija is bleeding lightly from the forehead.
> "I-I didn't expected to injure her like that!"
> "You have some strength with you, that's for sure..." Kanako comments. "I wonder how Kogasa wasn't injured before..."
> Sanae looks down at the sudden mention of Kogasa.
> _

[Monarda]

Fairy-V. Daiko-kun:

>"Eh ! Describe them to me please."

Kiku-chan:

>Where are we ?

Daiko-kun:

>Nod.
>"Yes, a girl with something orange if  i recall her words..."

Niji Blue:

>"Oh... it's you two..."

Niji Green:

>"I-I know... i had just taught her how to say her name, and with walking, and everything... i... i-i... i want my darling back..."
>Go back to physical form.
>"Why her ? Why the children ?! It..."
>Sob a bit.
