Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 9

[Tashi]

//Hope this day was fun for you

//Apologies for my inactivity~
Daiko:

>"Now Wakasagihime... Tsuru?"
>Assess current horn energies, if any.

Tsuru:

>"Wondering why you didn't ask if I could melt it earlier... Also, I'd like my clothes back from Aya soon..."
>Start using fire magic to melt the lake.

> You currently don't have any energy in the horn.
> Tsuru creates waves of fire right above the ice in the lake, starting to melt quickly.
> "Who did this, Dai?" Mystia turns to her.
> Daiyousei slowly frowns in sadness, looking down.

Niji Red:
>"Good morning."
>Rub our eyes.

> You rub your eyes. Oh, you really wish to go back to that bed...
> Nitori approaches to you. "Uh, are you ready to make some tests?"
> The kappas start to talk to each other, while giving to you two some glances.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Red:

>"Not really... i could use some more sleep..."

Niji-chan:

>"Ooo, she is waking up it seems."
>Approach.
>"We should check her pockets for any weird thing beforehand."

Niji Green:

>"...Daiyousei ? What's wrong ? Tell us..."

Kiku-chan:

>Pat her head.
>"Anyways, if you see someone or something weird around here, please tell us, it could be the meanie that took away everyone."

[Tashi]

Niji Red:

>"Not really... i could use some more sleep..."

> "Oh... Well, I guess there's no problem with it." Nitori nods.
> "Uh, Nitori, do you trus-"
> "I do." She replies while turning to the group of kappas. "Like I said, someone who saves one life must be someone who anyone can trust."

Niji-chan:

>"Ooo, she is waking up it seems."
>Approach.
>"We should check her pockets for any weird thing beforehand."

> You approach to Seija, who slowly rubs her head.
> "Leave me that to me!" The new Niji approaches. "What kind of interesting things you might have, Miss Seijaaa~...?
> "... She also has that trait of Marisa..." Kanako mumbles.

Niji Green:

>"...Daiyousei ? What's wrong ? Tell us..."

> "... I-It was Cirno-chan." Daiyousei finally says, lifting her look to you.
> "W-What?!" Kyouko jumps.

Kiku-chan:

>Pat her head.
>"Anyways, if you see someone or something weird around here, please tell us, it could be the meanie that took away everyone."

> You pet Flandre, and she closes her eyes with a smile.
> "Oke! I'm going to trap whoever did this!"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Head over to Mysti.
>"So where is she now? And why did she do this?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Head over to Mysti.
>"So where is she now? And why did she do this?"

> You approach to Mystia.
> "I-I don't know..." Dai looks down. "... Cirno started to act strange, as if something was making her angry... then she suddenly froze the lake and us..."
> You notice how Reimu is coming from the mansion to your group.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"What were you and her doing before she acted strange?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"What were you and her doing before she acted strange?"

> "We were talking right here..."
> "About?"
> "Just about things. I don't recall talking about something that would infuriate her... I never would do that..."
> _{^"DAAAIII!!!"}
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Briefly pause for a moment in wonder.
>"Could you say what?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Briefly pause for a moment in wonder.
>"Could you say what?"

> "Exactly? Well, she was talking about the frogs in her house..."
> _{^{"DAI! OVER HEEERE!!!"}}
> "And I was telling her that she shouldn't do that, because the frog lady at the mountain would be mad."
> _{^{"DON'T IGNORE MEEE!!!"}}
> You think you are hearing a very, very, VERY faint voice coming from Daiyousei's mouth as she talks.
> The lake is almost melted. Wakasagihime is still nowhere to be seen.
> Reimu lands with your group.
> "What now? Who froze the lake?" The shrine maiden asks.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Hey, uh, Daiyousei? Weird request, sorry, but could you hold your mouth open for a bit."
>Listen closely, but try not to make it look too uncomfortable seeming for her.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Hey, uh, Daiyousei? Weird request, sorry, but could you hold your mouth open for a bit."
>Listen closely, but try not to make it look too uncomfortable seeming for her.

> "Uh? What for?" She asks.
> You try to listen, but no sounds come this time.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Green:

>"Oh, Miss Reimu, things got even stranger, according to Daiyousei, something suddenly made Cirno angry and made her freeze the lake for some reason... think this could also have to do with our unknown perpetrator ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Huh... hey Miss Sanae... can you also use Miracles to track down the perpetrator ?"

Niji Red:

>"Eh ?"
>Tilt our head.

Kiku-chan:

>Nod with a smile.
>"Okay, now i gotta investigate more about this with Miss Sakuya, a lot of people depend on us."

Daiko-kun:

>Try using the IkoVision on Cirno.

[Monarda]

//Edit.

[Tashi]

Niji Green:

>"Oh, Miss Reimu, things got even stranger, according to Daiyousei, something suddenly made Cirno angry and made her freeze the lake for some reason... think this could also have to do with our unknown perpetrator ?"

> Reimu glances at Dai. "... Or maybe because she wanted to just do it."
> "N-No! Don't misunderstand!" Dai pouts. "Cirno didn't do anything bad on purpose!"

Daiko-kun:

>Try using the IkoVision on Cirno.

> You try to visualize Cirno...
> "Uh? Nani?" V!Cirno looks around in the pitch black place. "What's this?"

Niji-chan:

>"Huh... hey Miss Sanae... can you also use Miracles to track down the perpetrator ?"

> "Maybe." Sanae answers. "Since I don't know how she or he looks like, it would take a bit to cast it."
> "Nnnh..." Seija opens her eyes slowly.
> "Cards, cards, and more cards..." Says the new Niji as she takes the presentation cards from Seija's pockets.

Niji Red:

>"Eh ?"
>Tilt our head.

> Nitori glances at you. "Something wrong?"

Kiku-chan:

>Nod with a smile.
>"Okay, now i gotta investigate more about this with Miss Sakuya, a lot of people depend on us."

> "Indeed."
> " 'kay!" Flan nods. "I'll see you later, then!"
> _

[Monarda]

V. Daiko-kun:

>"Oh there you are Cirno, where are you ? Daiyousei is worried about you..."

Daiko-kun:

>"I'm talking with Cirno right now with my ability."

Niji-chan:

>Examine the cards.
>"She has these cards for some reason..."

Niji Red:

>Shake our head.
>"No... not really..."

Kiku-chan:

>Turn to Sakuya.
>"What now ? Should we reunite with the others at the lake ?"

Niji Green:

>"Yeah... that's just too random... also Miss Reimu, did Seija ever carry these weird presentation cards with her when you two met ?"

[Tashi]

V. Daiko-kun:

>"Oh there you are Cirno, where are you ? Daiyousei is worried about you..."

Daiko-kun:

>"I'm talking with Cirno right now with my ability."

> "I think I'm inside Dai!" V!Cirno states.

> "Oh?" Daiyousei smiles hopefully. "W-Where is she?"

Niji Green:

>"Yeah... that's just too random... also Miss Reimu, did Seija ever carry these weird presentation cards with her when you two met ?"

> Reimu shrugs. "Did you found the presentation card of before with her?"

Niji-chan:

>Examine the cards.
>"She has these cards for some reason..."

> Those are cards like the one you saw before that had her head as a logo.
> "The hell...?" Seija speaks, mid-asleep.
> "Hi." The new Niji greets as she keeps "borrowing" the cards.
> "... THE HELL?!" Seija backs off from all of you, crawling a bit in her back.

Niji Red:

>Shake our head.
>"No... not really..."

> "Do you want to keep sleeping, then?"

Kiku-chan:

>Turn to Sakuya.
>"What now ? Should we reunite with the others at the lake ?"

> "It's our best bet."
> Sakuya pauses for a moment.
> "... Actually, before that, I remember that Lady Yuuka would like to talk with you for a bit."
> _

[Monarda]

V. Daiko-kun:

>"I see... h-how did you get there though ?"

Daiko-kun:

>"She is uh... inside you it seems..."

Niji Green:

>"No, but we found ones with her head on it instead of a bat, but the two cards are almost the same besides that detail, design, shape, material, it's like they were made by the same person."

Kiku-chan:

>"Oh..."

Niji-chan:

>"That was an very nasty hit you took there..."

[Tashi]

V. Daiko-kun:

>"I see... h-how did you get there though ?"

Daiko-kun:

>"She is uh... inside you it seems..."

> "I... don't know." V!Cirno replies. "I was feeling weird a few moments ago, and then I am here..."

> "Oh, I'm so gla-... W-WHA?!" Daiyousei jumps. She wasn't expecting that. "Inside?! ME?!"
> "H-How's that possible?!" Mystia asks.

Niji Green:

>"No, but we found ones with her head on it instead of a bat, but the two cards are almost the same besides that detail, design, shape, material, it's like they were made by the same person."

> "... Maybe that means Seija really has something to do with all of this." Reimu looks at the lake. "I was expecting that, since she said something that almost made me suspect of her."
> Tsuru ends melting all the ice of the lake. She was watching to not melt the little iceberg with the igloo, however.

Kiku-chan:

>"Oh..."

> You suddenly appear in front of a door.

Niji-chan:

>"That was an very nasty hit you took there..."

> "W-What the hell is wrong with you?!" Seija frowns at Sanae. "You might have killed me!"
> "S-Sorry. You were suspicious..."
> "I wasn't even doing anything for you to suspect from me in the first place!"
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Knock on it.

V. Daiko-kun:

>"Well... Daiyousei said you two were talking when suddenly you got really angry and froze the entire lake."

Daiko-kun:

>"How should i know ?! She says she doesn't remember how she got there."

Niji-chan:

>"Yeah you really could have died had we not caught you in mid-air..."
>Look sad.
>"Anyways, these presentation cards of yours, they are really interesting, because they are almost like the one found at the village..."

Nijisa:

>"Yeah, Marisa also found one with a magenta color too, ze."

Niji Green:

>"We have her caught at the Moriya Shrine, she just woke up."

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>Knock on it.

> You knock the door.
> "Yes?" Asks Yuuka inside.

V. Daiko-kun:

>"Well... Daiyousei said you two were talking when suddenly you got really angry and froze the entire lake."

> V!Cirno taps her chin. "I was talking with Dai-chan... and a voice started to talk in my head too... it was, like, really annoying! I just wanted her to stop talking to me, so I started to freeze everywhere to see if she was trying to hide... then Dai-chan suddenly grabbed me... and I'm here."

Daiko-kun:

>"How should i know ?! She says she doesn't remember how she got there."

> "Cirno-chaaan!" Daiyousei examines herself. "Where are yooou?!"
> "Ima' here!"
> "Where's here?!"
> "Inside you!"
> Dai looks at you.
> "Help Cirno-chan, please! Get her outside me!" She then opens her mouth wide.
> "..." Mystia glances at you. "... Is Cirno inside Dai... like, inside her STOMACH or something?"

Niji-chan:

>"Yeah you really could have died had we not caught you in mid-air..."
>Look sad.
>"Anyways, these presentation cards of yours, they are really interesting, because they are almost like the one found at the village..."

> "... Why are you worrying about me, anyway? I was spreading my cards all over Gensokyo!" Seija states.

Nijisa:

>"Yeah, Marisa also found one with a magenta color too, ze."

> Seija doesn't answer to that.
> "And who are you? Marisa's little sister?" Seija jokes.

Niji Green:

>"We have her caught at the Moriya Shrine, she just woke up."

> "Oh? Can you tell what's going on?
> Wakasagihime emerges from the lake.
> "Aaah! What was that?!" She asks.
> "Hey, mermaid!" Marisa greets. "You were frozen."
> "... Eh?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Try to feel for Cirno in/near Daiyousei with our horn. Not physically making contact, of course...
(Both Vision and Normal)>"An annoying voice huh..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Try to feel for Cirno in/near Daiyousei with our horn. Not physically making contact, of course...
(Both Vision and Normal)>"An annoying voice huh..."

> You are able to feel for a... really icy energy, or something like that. It's really close, not to say inside, from Daiyousei.
> Aside of that one, you feel for a... soothing and calm one... It's really near, again, not to say inside, Daiyousei.
> "A-oin'?" Daiyousei asks, not closing her mouth.
> "Annoying voice? What are you talking about?" Kyouko asks.
> _

[Monarda]

Nijisa:

>"Sorta, i'm a mix between her and Niji, this fairy here has a lot of tricks hidden that you have yet to see."
>Grin.
>"Some of which even she was unaware, like me."

Kiku-chan:

>"It's me, Kiku."

V. Daiko-kun:

>"What was it saying to you ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Well we would like to know who made those cards."

Niji Green:

>"Ehh... also Miss Marisa... you know that energy i absorbed ? It seems like it turned into an person that is a mix of you and i..."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Something Cirno must've heard... In her head she says."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Something Cirno must've heard... In her head she says."

> Daiyousei closes her mouth. "Like a voice? We were the two of us alone, so..."

V. Daiko-kun:

>"What was it saying to you ?"

> "I don't know, it was something really biza-rre... I didn't understood what she said to me, I only know that her voice made me have headcaches and such."

Niji Green:

>"Ehh... also Miss Marisa... you know that energy i absorbed ? It seems like it turned into an person that is a mix of you and i..."

> Alice and her dolls, Wakasagihime and Marisa look at you, the latter with an offended face.
> "A WHAT?!" She questions, but later laughs. "Haha! Good joke, good joke..."

Nijisa:

>"Sorta, i'm a mix between her and Niji, this fairy here has a lot of tricks hidden that you have yet to see."
>Grin.
>"Some of which even she was unaware, like me."

> "And you are just as annoying as her..." Seija says with a grin.

Niji-chan:

>"Well we would like to know who made those cards."

> Seija looks away, still with her grin.

Kiku-chan:

>"It's me, Kiku."

> "Ah, finally. Come in, please."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Well, right now we should worry about finding out how to get her out..."
>Try to absorb the icy energy into our horn.

[Monarda]

Nijisa:

>"Well anyways, Miss Sanae, can a miracle find out info about these cards ze ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Also, please mind your forehead, it still looks a bit bad..."

Niji Green:

>"Seija just woke up, we asked her about who made the cards and she is keeping silent."

Kiku-chan:

>Do so.
>"So ? I don't have much time to spend here, because of this serious incident..."

V. Daiko-kun:

>"I see... well with all the freezing you did you froze the entire lake and everyone nearby."

[Tashi]

V. Daiko-kun:

>"I see... well with all the freezing you did you froze the entire lake and everyone nearby."

> "S-Sorry."

Daiko:

>"Well, right now we should worry about finding out how to get her out..."
>Try to absorb the icy energy into our horn.

> You try to absorb said energy within your horn.
> V!Cirno blinks.
> "Eeeh?" She looks at herself. "What's going on now?"

Nijisa:

>"Well anyways, Miss Sanae, can a miracle find out info about these cards ze ?"

> "Do you want to specify on something?"

Niji-chan:

>"Also, please mind your forehead, it still looks a bit bad..."

> "Hmph." Seija takes off the bag with ice cubes.
> "Well, not our problem if you bleed to death." Kanako shrugs and turns on the box thing.

Niji Green:

>"Seija just woke up, we asked her about who made the cards and she is keeping silent."

> Reimu sighs. "Do I need to go there and do the interrogation myself?"
> "... Is that for real what you said?" Marisa asks.

Kiku-chan:

>Do so.
>"So ? I don't have much time to spend here, because of this serious incident..."

> You open the door.
> "Oh... Then, come when you have everything solved. I need you to be calm to hear me for what I have to request..." Yuuka says from her bed.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko-Both:

>"I'm trying to get Cirno out of you..."
>Examine V!Cirno as we continue.
>"Kira?"

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"Well that doesn't mean we can't talk... i can sense it's something important, not like i can't plan out two things."
>Nod.

Nijisa:

>"First of all, if the card found on the village and the one with Marisa are from Seija, and then also try to find out who made them."

Niji-chan:

>"I hope Yuudachi is fine..."

Niji Green:

>Nod.
>"Yeah, she even has clothes like yours and says 'ze' on the end of the phrases."
