Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 9

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"Well i love you and you love me, and Dai also loves you and you love her too... but my relationship with Daiyousei isn't so deep..."

Niji Blue:

>"Not exactly true, Kiku-chan has a soft spot for fairies, especially ones like me and Daiyousei, she even though Daiyousei was cute."

Kiku-chan:

>"Oioioioioioi !"
>Blush some.
>"Niji !"

Niji-chan:

>"Ehehe..."
>Check on Yuudachi.

> "W-W-What?" Daiyousei blushes even more.
> "I-Is that so?" Koa asks.
> "HEEEY!" Cirno shouts to have everyone's attention. "Someone notice me already! You are all talking about this love-love thing and nobody wants to explain it to me!"

> Yuudachi is smiling.
> "Should we examine her now, Niji?" Alice asks.

Niji Grey:

>"For you to treat me like the kids from the village..."
>Look down.

> You look down.
> "And why you want that?"

Bastet-chan:

>"Nya~ ?"
>Turn to see her.

> You look at Sakura... Huh, she doesn't have her horn and she's smaller than her new self...
> "W-What... happened to you...?" She asks.

Niji Scarlet:

>What were they talking about ?

> You didn't caught so well what they were talkig about. It seemed like they wanted to talk between the two.
> Sakuya disappears.
> "Something else you'll do here, fairy?" Remilia asks.

V!Daiko:

>"I'll hurry this time."

Daiko:

>Continue faster towards the temple.
>Sigh. "Sit down for a bit."
>Is the spirit only wearing a shirt? no lower articles of clothing?

> "Pleeease... I'm hungry..."

> You continue until you land at the entrance of it.
> "Hmph!" He crosses of arms and sits down in the bed.
> He's wearing a black, long sleeved shirt. He doesn't have any lower clothing since he has the ghost tail.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Think up a puzzle game for the spirit to play with in the meantime.

V!Daiko:

>"I'm here at the entrance."

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Fidget.
>"....y-yeah, it's true... "

Niji-chan:

>"Sure."

Niji Blue:

>"Oh, uh, love is like, when you like a person so much, you start to think of her more than a friend, and that just being besides them makes you feel warm amd cozy and happy."

Niji Gray:

>"Because it feels nice to be cared about, and the kids and Yuudachi were happy here..."

Niji Scarlet:

>"Not exactly, Miss Megumi went back already, but i wanna spend time with Miss Flandre."

Bastet-chan:

>"Huh ?"
>Examine ourselves again.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Think up a puzzle game for the spirit to play with in the meantime.

V!Daiko:

>"I'm here at the entrance."

> You imagine up a puzzle game right in front of him.
> "W-What?" He asks, examining it. "... Oh..."

> "Come inside, then. Go to the center area of it."

Kiku-chan:

>Fidget.
>"....y-yeah, it's true... "

> "Aaah..." Daiyousei looks away, not knowing what to say or to look.
> "..." Koa giggles a bit.

Niji Blue:

>"Oh, uh, love is like, when you like a person so much, you start to think of her more than a friend, and that just being besides them makes you feel warm amd cozy and happy."

> "Oh..." Cirno starts to think. "... ... OH!" She beams. "Then I love Dai!"
> "Uuuh..." Daiyousei blinks. "A-Aren't you a bit confu-"
> "Nope! I love you Dai! Aren't we great friends?" She smiles at her.
> "... A fairy with a harem... How curious..." Mystia smiles. "How do you feel, Dai?"
> "I-I don't know what to do... T-This is so sudden..." She laughs nervously.

Niji-chan:

>"Sure."

> "May you follow me?" Alice starts to fly to the Forest of Magic.
> "N-Nii-san..." One of the fairies speak. "A-Aren't you going to help us to return to home...?"

Niji Gray:

>"Because it feels nice to be cared about, and the kids and Yuudachi were happy here..."

> "And your point is?"

Niji Scarlet:

>"Not exactly, Miss Megumi went back already, but i wanna spend time with Miss Flandre."

> "I don't know if you noticed..." Remilia stands up. "... but Flan already went to her room. She's not here... so what are you going to do?"

Bastet-chan:

>"Huh ?"
>Examine ourselves again.

> You examine yourself again...
> Nothing different, aside of the new tuft colors in your hair... ... ... No, wait... you think you are also... slightly taller...

> (Tsuru) "... Uhm... Corin is still asleep..." Rin says.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Please occupy yourself for now."
>Head inside as instructed.

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>"I see..."
>Turn to the other two.
>"What now ? We can't just leave that thing alone."

Kiku-chan:

>"Tell me..."

Niji Scarlet:

>"Follow her."

Niji-chan:

>Nod.
>"I sure will, could you please come with us ? We can talk there and you could tell us what you know."

Niji Gray:

>"I wanna have you and Miss Rin care for me like that too..."

Bastet-chan:

>"E-Eh ?"
>Look confused.
>"W-We'll talk about it latter Sakura-sama... why are you small again ? Where is your horn ?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Please occupy yourself for now."
>Head inside as instructed.

> "Uh..." He doesn't say anything and starts to think on how to resolve it... How you know it? Well... What kind of place is this? Did he really sucked me in his mind? ... I guess this is better than to not do anything...
> You head inside. You can hear their voices...

Tsuru:

>"I see..."
>Turn to the other two.
>"What now ? We can't just leave that thing alone."

> "I don't-"
> "Wait." Corin speaks, interrupting Charlotte.
> "... Or not." Rin speaks.
> "Corin nee-san!" Charlotte approaches. "Y-You had me worried...!"
> "S-Sorry, Charlotte..." She smiles faintly.

Niji Gray:

>"I wanna have you and Miss Rin care for me like that too..."

> "Give me any reason for why you deserve such thing of my side." Megumi frowns. "And why don't you just go with someone else more willing to do tha than me?"

Kiku-chan:

>"Tell me..."

> "Then how about you tell how do you feel, Kiku?" Mystia giggles.
> Koa helps Daiyousei stand up. Cirno does the same.

Niji Scarlet:

>"Follow her."

> "And you think you have that freedom in my mansion for what reason?"

Niji-chan:

>Nod.
>"I sure will, could you please come with us ? We can talk there and you could tell us what you know."

> "Haaai!" They nod.

Bastet-chan:

>"E-Eh ?"
>Look confused.
>"W-We'll talk about it latter Sakura-sama... why are you small again ? Where is your horn ?"

> "I cutted my horn for something that happened... and because of that, I have to wait for it to grow again for me to be how I was." Sakura sighs. "I was getting used to it..."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Head for the middle.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Head for the middle.

> You start to walk a bit in the hallways.
> It's all so... japanese... (not that you know what this exactly is, but to give players a reference...)
> Soon, you find a sliding door leading to the center, where a big room with a table in the middle and futons around it. Kyouko, Kokoro, Miko and Byakuren are sitting down in them. They look at you as soon as you are visible in the hallway.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"I'm sorry for the wait..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"I'm sorry for the wait..."

> "It's okay. We know the recent events..." Byakuren states. "Come in. Feel at home."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Thank you."
>Take a seat.
>"There was another recent one, just before I could get here too."

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>"I'm glad you are alright..."
>Smile a bit.

Niji Gray:

>"Because you are a worrisome person deep down, Niji saw you watching over Koakuma along with Kiku-chan... i wanna be more like that..."

Kiku-chan:

>"E-Eh..."
>Fidget.
>"T-That's a low blow..."

Niji Scarlet:

>"Because i wanna be her friend, and Kiku-chan said that she wanted to meet me."
>Smile.

Bastet-chan:

>"I see... silly, you shouldn't risk yourself like that..."
>Frown.
>"A-Anyways... is there something else different with me ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Lead the way Miss Alice."
>Follow !

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Thank you."
>Take a seat.
>"There was another recent one, just before I could get here too."

> You take seat next to Kokoro and Kyouko.
> "Hm?" Miko asks.

Tsuru:

>"I'm glad you are alright..."
>Smile a bit.

> "Sorry for the trouble we made..." Corin speaks.

Niji Gray:

>"Because you are a worrisome person deep down, Niji saw you watching over Koakuma along with Kiku-chan... i wanna be more like that..."

> "That's mainly because my relation with Koakuma." Megumi rolls her eyes. "What is the minimum thing I have to do for you to leave me alone at least for a bit?"

Kiku-chan:

>"E-Eh..."
>Fidget.
>"T-That's a low blow..."

> "A fair one." The sparrow grins.
> Mystia approaches to you and whispers. "... Now seriously... What are you going to do...?"

Niji Scarlet:

>"Because i wanna be her friend, and Kiku-chan said that she wanted to meet me."
>Smile.

> Remilia expression is blank.
> "... Touch?." She sighs.

Bastet-chan:

>"I see... silly, you shouldn't risk yourself like that..."
>Frown.
>"A-Anyways... is there something else different with me ?"

> "Y-You are a bit taller..."

Niji-chan:

>"Lead the way Miss Alice."
>Follow !

> You start to follow Alice. The fairies follow too.

Daiko:

>"A spirit possessed one of my friends... It's been solved, for now."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"A spirit possessed one of my friends... It's been solved, for now."

> Byakuren frowns.
> "Who?"
> _

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>"Yeah i noticed... anything else ?"

Tsuru:

>"It's alright... but please do not involve people like that in power disputes..."

Niji Gray:

>"...not hate me..."
>Head to the infirmary.

Daiko-kun:

>"Daiyousei, the fairy from the lake, the ghost of an young boy possessed her earlier."

Niji Scarlet:

>"Huh ?"
>Tilt our head.
>"Anyways... i will be going."

Kiku-chan:

>Whisper. "Uh... i guess just... accept our union as a trio."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Daiyousei was possessed."

[Tashi]

Bastet-chan:

>"Yeah i noticed... anything else ?"

> "... You also look slightly mature..." She states.

Tsuru:

>"It's alright... but please do not involve people like that in power disputes..."

> Corin doesn't answer
> "S-So..." Rin speaks. "They want to tell you something, Corin..."
> "Hm?"

Niji Gray:

>"...not hate me..."
>Head to the infirmary.

> "... I think I can do that."
> She follows you as you go to the infirmary.

Daiko-kun:

>"Daiyousei, the fairy from the lake, the ghost of an young boy possessed her earlier."

Daiko:

>"Daiyousei was possessed."

> "Oh... It's nice to hear it was resolved." Kyouko smiles.

Niji Scarlet:

>"Huh ?"
>Tilt our head.
>"Anyways... i will be going."

> "Yeah, yeah." Remilia starts to walk outside of the library.
> "Niji, right?" Patchouli questions.

Kiku-chan:

>Whisper. "Uh... i guess just... accept our union as a trio."

> "And by that you mean...?"
> Daiyousei and Koakuma are staring at each other.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Nod.
>"I... still have to help find Orino's children... They weren't part of the recent thing..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Nod.
>"I... still have to help find Orino's children... They weren't part of the recent thing..."

> "Ah, Orino-san..." Byakuren speaks.
> "What about her?" Kokoro asks.
> "Nothing important..."
> _

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>"The Great Door... the one where the kids were."

Bastet-chan:

>"Eh ?!"
>Examine ourselves more closely again, specifically the more intimate parts.

Niji Scarlet:

>Nod.
>"Yes, why ?"

Kiku-chan:

>Stare at them too.
>"Um... should we then uh... uhm... k-kiss each other ?"

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"So..."

[Tashi]

//Sorry for MASSIVE inconsistency with usual post activity. Too much quests and other things to do here and yada, yada, yada.

Tsuru:

>"The Great Door... the one where the kids were."

> "What about it...?"
> "Mistress... What exactly is that?" Chloe asks.
> Corin remains silent some seconds...
> "... The treasure of my family..." She replies.

Bastet-chan:

>"Eh ?!"
>Examine ourselves more closely again, specifically the more intimate parts.

> You examine yourself further.
> ... She isn't wrong. You went with an ironing board and you came back with slight curves.
> "What happened to you? You were... at the house..." Sakura mumbles.

Niji Scarlet:

>Nod.
>"Yes, why ?"

> "... I heard you were created..."

Kiku-chan:

>Stare at them too.
>"Um... should we then uh... uhm... k-kiss each other ?"

> Daiyousei and Koakuma slowly look at you with surprised faces and blushing.
> "... What's that?" Cirno breaks the silence.
> "... Maybe you need to include Cirno as well..." Mystia takes distance from you.

Daiko:

>"So..."

> "... Daiko..." Byakuren start. "Can you... tell me how you were before?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"...Before? Do you mean, recently, or... long ago...?"

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>"...it changed colors when we were there..."

Bastet-chan:

>"I-I dunno... i was asleep, then i met with Doremy from the Dream World, she had me hold this pink blob that was her sister's remains, her sister started talking to me and saying that she could help me, then she dissipated and what left of it entered me..."
>Fidget.
>"I know it's super confusing but..."

Niji Scarlet:

>Nod slightly.
>"Yes... an person from the outside world created me..."

Kiku-chan:

>"H-Her too..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"...Before? Do you mean, recently, or... long ago...?"

> "Long ago..." Byakuren nods. "... Do you feel you want to talk about that...?"

Tsuru:

>"...it changed colors when we were there..."

> "... It's not a simple "Great Door"..." Says Corin.
> "What do you mean?" Questions Rin.
> "... It's an entity. His name it's KyuuKyuu-kun."

Bastet-chan:

>"I-I dunno... i was asleep, then i met with Doremy from the Dream World, she had me hold this pink blob that was her sister's remains, her sister started talking to me and saying that she could help me, then she dissipated and what left of it entered me..."
>Fidget.
>"I know it's super confusing but..."

> "Ultra, you mean..." Sakura blinks. "Doremy? What happened in the Dream World?"

Niji Scarlet:

>Nod slightly.
>"Yes... an person from the outside world created me..."

> "... How much do you know about "Vera Claythorne?" Patchouli keeps her attention in you.

Kiku-chan:

>"H-Her too..."

> "W-Why we-" Koa clears her throat. "Why don't we go to a more... uh... private place to talk...?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"If you want to hear it... Everyone but Mysti's here..."

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>"I see... guess my Nurikabe guess wasn't so far off... but what exactly is it ?"

Bastet-chan:

>"She had me take care of her sister for a while, then her sister started talking to me and telling me that she could help me, then she suddenly turned into some fragments that went inside me, Doremy came back and got mad, asking where her sister was, i kept telling her but she wouldn't believe me..."

Niji Scarlet:

>"Nothing almost, i think i might have heard someone mention her though... why ?"

Kiku-chan:

>Nod.
>"Let's go to my home."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"If you want to hear it... Everyone but Mysti's here..."

> "Then bring her here..." Kokoro says.

Tsuru:

>"I see... guess my Nurikabe guess wasn't so far off... but what exactly is it ?"

> "He is so many things... A Nurikabe is one of them." Corin explains. "... It's... REALLY hard to try to describe him... or what he does... He's just... KyuuKyuu-kun..."
> "Well... that doesn't explain too much." Megumi says while entering the infirmary, following Gray.

Bastet-chan:

>"She had me take care of her sister for a while, then her sister started talking to me and telling me that she could help me, then she suddenly turned into some fragments that went inside me, Doremy came back and got mad, asking where her sister was, i kept telling her but she wouldn't believe me..."

> "Did she... tried to attack you...?" Sakura looks worried.

Niji Scarlet:

>"Nothing almost, i think i might have heard someone mention her though... why ?"

> "... Vera is famous in much places, even at other worlds." Patchouli explains. "She's... the one that wants to defy the rules of nature... wanting herself to create life... That's what it was said so much years ago... Currently I don't know where she is... but maybe you can find her..."

Kiku-chan:

>Nod.
>"Let's go to my home."

> The three of them nod.
