Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 5

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>From what we've done before, are others able to see us, or just the one person?
>Don't speak yet.

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>Focus less to avoid detection and try to shift point of views, and listen in.
>"Because she is rather obsessed with looking menacing and powerful from what i could see."

Daiko:

>From what we've done before, are others able to see us, or just the one person?
>Don't speak yet.

> When you saw Kokoro with your future-sight the last time, Miko was able to see you too.
> You change the point of view.
> From the side you look this time you can see the canvas is lifted.
> There's... someone inside?
> You can feel the pressure of someone looking at you. Remilia is frowning angrily while approaching...

Bastet-chan:

>"Sorry..."

> "Next time I'll not be so gentle." Momiji cross arms.
> "So... can you speak about that fight now?" Alice asks.
> "Aya always tries to be the very best at the reporting. I like to tease her with that, and normally that make us fight." Hatate shrugs. "I humillated her and then she disappeared."

Nijis:

>"You start !"

> "Okay... Truth or dare?"

Kiku-chan:

>We done ?

> Yes.
> "W-We should get going." Koa says, holding a glass with the orange juice. "We are taking so long..."

[Neovereign]

//Drat. Was hoping I could get there sooner before something like this happened...

[Monarda]

//I thought we had focused less to avoid being detected ?

[Tashi]

//Indeed. But that couldn't stop Remilia herself to detect you.

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>Ignore her for now and try to identify the person inside.

Bastet-chan:

>"Humiliated her ? But why and how ?"
>Rub our head on Momiji.

Kiku-chan:

>"I never thought using that thing would be that hard..."

Niji Yellow:

>"Truth !"

Niji-chan:

>"Dare !"

Nijis:

>Look at each other.

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>Ignore her for now and try to identify the person inside.

> You quickly try to identify the one inside the machine.
> Is... someone of the village?
> Remilia is very close. Her long nails are prepared to pierce you.

Bastet-chan:

>"Humiliated her ? But why and how ?"
>Rub our head on Momiji.

> You rub your head on a Momiji's side. She sighs.
> "I already told you the reason." Hatate says.
> "Albeit Aya is one of the fastest beings in Gensokyo, when she's mad she start to do... stupid things." Momiji says.
> "And one of those is trying to overwhelm me with her highspeed..." Hatate laughs. "Let's just say that her shoot backfired."

Kiku-chan:

>"I never thought using that thing would be that hard..."

> "I told you; it's nerve breaking." Koa giggles.

Niji Yellow:

>"Truth !"

Niji-chan:

>"Dare !"

Nijis:

>Look at each other.

> "Well..." Kokoro look at Yellow. "What color is your underwear?" Then looks at the original. "And you..."
> Kokoro thinks for a few seconds, before looking at the skirt of the sleeping Miko.
> "You have to tell me what color is the underwear of Mimiko."
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>Someone from the village... without examining more (AKA no time usage), did we notice anything else like hair color, sex, and clothing ?

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>Someone from the village... without examining more (AKA no time usage), did we notice anything else like hair color, sex, and clothing ?

> So far, the only things you were able to notice are the usual clothes of those in the village and sex, this person being a male. This person isn't so tall.
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>Did we hear any words about a person missing from the village ?

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>Did we hear any words about a person missing from the village ?

> You don't think so.
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>If this person is being imprisoned... then we have to warn people...
>Change our perspective to be right in front of that person, then give it a quick examine.

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>If this person is being imprisoned... then we have to warn people...
>Change our perspective to be right in front of that person, then give it a quick examine.

> You quickly change the point of view to be in front of that person.
> It's a kid. He's wearing the usual outfit that most villagers have; his hair is black. It seems he's asleep/unconscious.
> You can feel Remilia's nails pierce in your arm.
> And that's the last thing you feel before being blocked.
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>Stop trying.
>"They have a kid captive ! And he is inside that machine !"
>Look upset.

Bastet-chan:

>"So you hurt her ?"

Nijis:

>"WHAT ?!"

Kiku-chan:

>Keep taking it.
>"I wonder what those 5 are up to..."

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>Stop trying.
>"They have a kid captive ! And he is inside that machine !"
>Look upset.

> "Huh?" Aya asks. "Excuse me?"

Bastet-chan:

>"So you hurt her ?"

> "It was a battle, so I had to."
> "Exactly, how you humillated her?" Marisa asks.
> "..." Hatate scratches her head.
> "She was able to restrain Aya's movement... and-..."
> "I left her in underwear... at plain sight of everyone." Hatate interrupts Momiji.

Nijis:

>"WHAT ?!"

> Miko stretches in her sleep.
> "You can't do it?" Kokoro asks. "If you don't then that means I win..."

Kiku-chan:

>Keep taking it.
>"I wonder what those 5 are up to..."

> "Who?" Koakuma asks.
> _

[Neovereign]

Niji:

>Gulp.

Niji Yellow:

>"Isn't that invading her privacy though?"

Daiko:

>We do have the advantage of having an alibi and a witness that we weren't in the mansion, in case they try to say we were. It wasn't really us, just a vision.

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>"That's just mean Miss Hatate..."

Daiko-kun:

>"The machine you found the plans for at the Scarlet Mansion, she has an human boy from the village captive inside it, i could see it using my ability."

Kiku-chan:

>"My family, Daiko, Niji-chan, Sakura-sama, Bastet, and Tsuru."

[Tashi]

Niji:

>Gulp.

Niji Yellow:

>"Isn't that invading her privacy though?"

> Kokoro shrugs.

Daiko-kun:

>"The machine you found the plans for at the Scarlet Mansion, she has an human boy from the village captive inside it, i could see it using my ability."

> The eyes of Aya shine.
> "R-Really?!" She pulls off a notepad and a pen from one of the pockets of the coat. "Tell me more!"

Daiko:

>We do have the advantage of having an alibi and a witness that we weren't in the mansion, in case they try to say we were. It wasn't really us, just a vision.

> You think you have something to excuse yourself from any question of the Scarlet residents...

Bastet-chan:

>"That's just mean Miss Hatate..."

> "Hey, what do you want me to do? This is a war between me and Aya... sorta."
> "Me included." Momiji adds.

Kiku-chan:

>"My family, Daiko, Niji-chan, Sakura-sama, Bastet, and Tsuru."

> "Oh, yea." Koakuma exits the kitchen. "Well, let's go. They are waiting for us."
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Follow with care !

Nijis:

>"Nn...."

Niji-chan:

>Shyfully peek on Miss Miko's underwear.

Niji Yellow:

>Just tell her...

Daiko-kun:

>"First, i want you to keep this a secret okay ? About both that i told you this and about my ability."
>Once she agrees.
>"She had a strange but happy face, Remilia i mean, the kappa were also there, and when Remilia noticed i was there, she immediately went aggresive, so that machine means crucial stuff to her."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"It also means that people that are keen enough can notice me as I use it."

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>Follow with care !

> You follow Koa carefully.

Nijis:

>"Nn...."

Niji-chan:

>Shyfully peek on Miss Miko's underwear.

Niji Yellow:

>Just tell her...

> You try to peek underneath Miko's skirt, but it's necessary to lift a bit of it.
> You do so...
> ... Purple...

> You tell Kokoro the color of your underwear...
> "... Cyan? Huh..."

Daiko-kun:

>"First, i want you to keep this a secret okay ? About both that i told you this and about my ability."
>Once she agrees.
>"She had a strange but happy face, Remilia i mean, the kappa were also there, and when Remilia noticed i was there, she immediately went aggresive, so that machine means crucial stuff to her."

> Aya nods, preparing to write.
> "Crucial things..." She repeats while writting.

Daiko:

>"It also means that people that are keen enough can notice me as I use it."

> "Hey, that's some neat stuff you have. If you worked for newspaper you can have very exclusive articles since you can find them before others." Aya smiles.
> _

[Neovereign]

Niji:

>Retreat from there.
>"They're purple..."
>Hold our arm shyly.

Daiko:

>Future-sight about Aya again.

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"I dunno, people can still block me from seeing them, Remilia just did right now, so i can't have any other peeks at whatever that thing is."
>Look worried.
>"We need to tell Miss Reimu as soon as possible about this, someone's life might be at stake..."

Niji-chan:

>"I-It's purple..."

Bastet-chan:

>"This isn't war for real, what you did was an complete disregard to her feelings, did she even leave you naked amidst a crowd ?"

[Tashi]

Niji:

>Retreat from there.
>"They're purple..."
>Hold our arm shyly.

Niji-chan:

>"I-It's purple..."

> You separate, and hold your arm, embarrased.
> "I see..." Kokoro says. "Truth."

Daiko-kun:

>"I dunno, people can still block me from seeing them, Remilia just did right now, so i can't have any other peeks at whatever that thing is."
>Look worried.
>"We need to tell Miss Reimu as soon as possible about this, someone's life might be at stake..."

> "Hey, don't jump like that in conclusions. It's better if we investigate more about this."

Daiko:

>Future-sight about Aya again.

> You repeat your future-sight with Aya.
> "Huh?" She questions.
> ...
> The same vision you saw with all the crowd appears...

Bastet-chan:

>"This isn't war for real, what you did was an complete disregard to her feelings, did she even leave you naked amidst a crowd ?"

> "And what she did wasn't a complete disregard for the feelings of the ones in the Human Village?" Hatate cross arms.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"But if it turns out to be something harmless, it won't be as good as a situation... Yea... I think we should stick near each other for a bit, by the way... I just have a bit of a bad feeling."

[Neovereign]

//Edit

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>What did she do ?
>If we don't know. "Huh ? What did she do ?"

Daiko-kun:

>"Hm... i think she said that she needed people to collect energy for her earlier... it must have been to power the machine ?"

[Neovereign]

Niji:

>"Okay. Why'd you make us do those?"

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"Hm... i think she said that she needed people to collect energy for her earlier... it must have been to power the machine ?"

> "If it's something about making a person enter in that machine, then it's most likely it would need something about magic instead of electricity." Aya points out.

Daiko:

>"But if it turns out to be something harmless, it won't be as good as a situation... Yea... I think we should stick near each other for a bit, by the way... I just have a bit of a bad feeling."

> "Huh? A bad feeling? Is related to that thing of the machine?"

Bastet-chan:

>What did she do ?
>If we don't know. "Huh ? What did she do ?"

> "There was a moment where Aya was desperate to raise the number of people who read her newspaper. She did something... very peculiar, yet so common of she." Hatate replies.

Niji:

>"Okay. Why'd you make us do those?"

> "No reason. Just a random truth and dare."
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Yellow:

>"...you are funny Kokoro-chan."
>Giggle.

Niji-chan:

>Smile.

Kiku-chan:

>How far are we ?

Daiko-kun:

>"No... related to you, please be careful and don't do anything risky okay ?"

Bastet-chan:

>"Nyo~?"
