Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 10

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"Hm...."

Niji Gray:

>"Mama Megumi... why was she behaving like that ? What did she inject herself with ?"

Niji Scarlet:

>"I absorbed the light around here, kinda like plants do."

Niji-chan:

>"Yeah, they work there for an vampire, and get food and a room as return."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>IkoVision Aya and her co. We could just ask them where it is.
>How much soul does Rafael have?
>"Don't be like that. You could've been completely gone if I didn't stop them back there. Don't just lose all hope for everything."
>"Um, alright then...?"

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"Hm...."

> Koakuma sits down with all of you. "This is going to be difficult..."
> "Maybe not..." Dai says. "I mean... I doubt this is a bad thing, right? All of us are happy, so why it would be difficult?"
> "So... This is what love is like?" Asks Cirno. "It's weird..."

Niji Gray:

>"Mama Megumi... why was she behaving like that ? What did she inject herself with ?"

> "Master is like that sometimes. She even asked if I could kill her at certain situations in the past." Megumi explains. "She has serious mental problems."

Niji Scarlet:

>"I absorbed the light around here, kinda like plants do."

> "... So, are you a plant?" Asks Flandre. "Plantiji! Or Nijant! ... Though that last one sounds like you are an ant..."

Niji-chan:

>"Yeah, they work there for an vampire, and get food and a room as return."

> "Oooh..."
> "... ... ... Yuu?" Yuudachi tilts even more her head. If she keeps like this, she'll probably fall from your shoulder.

Daiko:

>IkoVision Aya and her co. We could just ask them where it is.
>How much soul does Rafael have?
>"Don't be like that. You could've been completely gone if I didn't stop them back there. Don't just lose all hope for everything."
>"Um, alright then...?"

> You IkoVision the three tengu.
> "Did it work?" Asks V!Aya.
> "It seems like that..." V!Hatate nods.

> Rafael seems to have... more than 100% of a soul, based on your own experience.
> "No, but at least I would know by now how it feels to be a girl." Rafael sighs.

> Meiling leaves you way to go to the entrance of the mansion.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Gray:

>"But... this can't be left like this..."

Kiku-chan:

>"But it feels nice..."

Niji Scarlet:

>"U-Uh...."

Niji-chan:

>Push her back upwards gently.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Head for the entrance.
>"What, you don't like being a guy or something?"
>Hm... Try to manipulate Rafael's soul to turn him into the opposite gender. Won't know if we can do that if we don't try...

Tengu-V!Daiko:

>"Did what- Oh... Must've been Bastet. So, I'm guessing you three want me to come to Hatate's house later?"

KoaKiku-V!Daiko:

>"Where are you guys right now?"

[Tashi]

Niji Gray:

>"But... this can't be left like this..."

> "Unless you are one of the best phychologist of the world, I would like you to not worsen the situation." Says Megumi while looking at you with a serious look.

Kiku-chan:

>"But it feels nice..."

> "Hey! You know what else feels nice? Your tail!" Cirno gets closer at it. "Can I rub it? Can I?"

Niji Scarlet:

>"U-Uh...."

> There's silence...
> Patchouli coughs a bit.
> "Uh... Nevermind. Anyway, what I want is... that you make a clone of..." Flandre looks around, until she points to the crystals of her wings. "... of the light of my wings!"

Niji-chan:

>Push her back upwards gently.

> You push Yuudachi back to a safe position.
> "Let's go, then?"

Daiko:

>Head for the entrance.
>"What, you don't like being a guy or something?"
>Hm... Try to manipulate Rafael's soul to turn him into the opposite gender. Won't know if we can do that if we don't try...

> You head to the entrance. The doors are open.
> Your companions follow.

> Rafael looks away, embarrased.
> You try to manipulate Rafael's soul to let him suffer a gender bend...
> Suddenly, you can see your soul, Kira's and Rafael's. Kira's is... huge... Rafael's flame soul has a bit more of blue color in it, compared with Kira's.
> The soul of the boy starts to change, but suddenly stops.
> "What was that, I felt strange..." He says.
> Kira watches with interest...

Tengu-V!Daiko:

>"Did what- Oh... Must've been Bastet. So, I'm guessing you three want me to come to Hatate's house later?"

KoaKiku-V!Daiko:

>"Where are you guys right now?"

> "So it DID work..."
> "Remember that we were going to met at the village? Well... Given all the problems, let's reunite later, or when you can, at our house. Like that you can tell us the details of this incident." V!Hatate explains.

> "We are at Kiku's house... ... Uh... Y-Your house..." V!Koa says.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Gray:

>"I am not, but surely we can't leave her like this Mama..."
>Look at her.
>"I don't wanna see Miss Rin suffer through her whole life like this... drugging herself and attempting suicide... i want to see her smile of true joy..."

Niji Scarlet:

>"Um... i could try..."
>Try it ?

Niji-chan:

>Nod.

Kiku-chan:

>Blush.
>"S-Sure..."

[Neovereign]

Koa-KikuV!Daiko:

>"Hm... I could vision further to see your surrounds and see the others, but I don't think you want that right now. If you don't have any ideas of what to do... there's the library. Kiku could probably find something for you to do."

TenguV!Daiko:

>"This is sorta a closed channel. What we say in here usually isn't heard outside by others. I could probably tell you here, or even on your way to Hatate's house. Also, I'm suggesting this because... well, it'd look weird if I went with you three girl- er, ladies, to one of your houses, even if it's not like that. The incident has gone further by the way, and isn't completely resolved yet. Me and a small group are trying to get more information on it."

Daiko:

>Head in.
>"Didn't you just say you didn't care, and you were all down and whatnot? Do you still care about anything happening to you right now? Was that previous thing a lie?"
>Try to continue it.

[Tashi]

Niji Gray:

>"I am not, but surely we can't leave her like this Mama..."
>Look at her.
>"I don't wanna see Miss Rin suffer through her whole life like this... drugging herself and attempting suicide... i want to see her smile of true joy..."

> "Well, good luck then." Megumi says with a sarcastic tone, but then returns to a serious one. "Master isn't going to change that easily, fairy. We need to make something that let her love life."

Niji Scarlet:

>"Um... i could try..."
>Try it ?

> You try to absorb the light of-

Niji-chan:

>Nod.

> You are about to follow Alice, but you notice something...
> Your bracelet is shaking. Even your hand is moving with such force! Your bracelet isn't going to last much longer!

Kiku-chan:

>Blush.
>"S-Sure..."

> "Yay!"
> Then Cirno starts rubbing your tail with both hands.
> ...! T-This feeling...
> You purr unconsciously.

Koa-KikuV!Daiko:

>"Hm... I could vision further to see your surrounds and see the others, but I don't think you want that right now. If you don't have any ideas of what to do... there's the library. Kiku could probably find something for you to do."

> "N-No! I-It's okay, we are fine, we are fine..." V!Koa says in a uncomfortable tone. "D-Don't worry about us..."

TenguV!Daiko:

>"This is sorta a closed channel. What we say in here usually isn't heard outside by others. I could probably tell you here, or even on your way to Hatate's house. Also, I'm suggesting this because... well, it'd look weird if I went with you three girl- er, ladies, to one of your houses, even if it's not like that. The incident has gone further by the way, and isn't completely resolved yet. Me and a small group are trying to get more information on it."

> "Bah, don't mind what the others think." V!Momiji rolls her eyes.
> "We'd like to have a personal interview of the events." V!Aya says.
> "On your case. In mine, I don't mind what means we do to obtain the information." V!Hatate grins.

Daiko:

>Head in.
>"Didn't you just say you didn't care, and you were all down and whatnot? Do you still care about anything happening to you right now? Was that previous thing a lie?"
>Try to continue it.

> You head into the scarlet fortress.
> There doesn't seem to be fairies or Sakuyas around...

> "T-That's..."
> You try to continue, but it's like... your mind slips from the soul, as if you needed something...
> "That's not how you must do it." Kira speaks.
> _

[Neovereign]

Tengu-V!Daiko:

>"Maybe after things are over and it's alright with some people.."

Daiko:

>"Right. I'm not a master like you are..."
>Continue with our group.
>Hold their hands if we can.

[Monarda]

Niji Scarlet:

>Stop !

Niji-chan:

>"!!?!?"
>Quickly release that energy in the form of a clone if we can !

Niji Gray:

>"Well if we don't do anything, then she will definitely not change Mama... then only way for evil to win, is for good people to do nothing, and i don't intend to let whatever evil that haunts her and makes her miserable to win..."

[Tashi]

Tengu-V!Daiko:

>"Maybe after things are over and it's alright with some people.."

> "We don't have any problem." V!Aya smiles.

Daiko:

>"Right. I'm not a master like you are..."
>Continue with our group.
>Hold their hands if we can.

> "Indeed." Kira grins, but then returns to a serious look. "Take this."
> Kira searches for something, albeit with difficulty due to the magic handcuffs, in his coat.
> He pulls out a pair of black gloves that have the finger tips uncovered.

> You continue.
> Ya' don't have three hands.
> You attempt to take the hands of the three of them. You barely grab Mystia's and Kokoro's with the right one, while the left one is left for Kyouko alone. It's a bit uncomfortable to be grabbing two hands with one and walking like that...
> "Where, exactly, are we going here?" Kyouko asks.

Niji Gray:

>"Well if we don't do anything, then she will definitely not change Mama... then only way for evil to win, is for good people to do nothing, and i don't intend to let whatever evil that haunts her and makes her miserable to win..."

> Megumi doesn't answer immediately.
> "What's your plan, then?" Finally asks.

Niji Scarlet:

>Stop !

Niji-chan:

>"!!?!?"
>Quickly release that energy in the form of a clone if we can !

> You stop absorbing the light of Flandre's wings.

> You attempt to release the accumulated energy as if a clone was being created.
> As you do so, a sphere of different colors that floats besides you appears. It's going slowly to one of the walls of the house, away of all of you...
> There is, however, a big difference with this sphere... it looks unstable...
> "Hm?" Alice looks at it.
> It's about to touch the wall...
> "...?! WATCH OU-"
> There's an explosion as soon as the sphere touches the wall of Alice's house.

> (Nijisa) Marisa suddenly stands up. "W-What was that?!"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Gloves...? Do I just need my hands covered, or are these special?"
>Take them.

>"Er..."
>Release their hands.
>"Well, you asked if we could see the mistress, so..."

Tengu-V!Daiko:

>"Alright. I'll still be here."

[Monarda]

Niji Gray:

>"Before anything else, we need to find our what is the source of that..."

Niji Scarlet:

>"..."

Niji-chan:

>"..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Gloves...? Do I just need my hands covered, or are these special?"
>Take them.

>"Er..."
>Release their hands.
>"Well, you asked if we could see the mistress, so..."

> You take the gloves. They feel... strange...
> "Just put them on, then try again what you just did. You will have to give it back after that, though." He says in an uninterested way.

> You let them go, much to Kyouko's pouts.
> "Y-Yea, but I don't know where she even sleeps... or where she hangs on... ... or how to orientate myself in this maze of a mansion..." Kyouko scratches her hair.
> "Way to go, Kyouko..." Mystia roll her eyes.

Tengu-V!Daiko:

>"Alright. I'll still be here."

> "Thank you!" V!Aya says.
> "We'll be waiting for you."
> And, without you doing it, their vision selfs disappear.

Niji Gray:

>"Before anything else, we need to find our what is the source of that..."

> "... That's another thing... How do you expect to make her talk?"

Niji Scarlet:

>"..."

Niji-chan:

>"..."

> "... Uh?" Flandre tilts her head. "Something wrong?"

> You are lying at the floor. The expansive wave throwed you there. You are a bit dizzy...
> Yuudachi is shaking you slightly while she shouts her usual "yuu"s. Even when she shouts at your hear, you mostly her a pitch sound...
> You... think you just blow up a chunk of Alice's house.

> (Kiku) You are feeling REALLY weird when Cirno strokes your tail.
> "Can I too?" Daiyousei joins.
> Now EVEN MORE.
> For a fraction of a second, you let out a... peculiar sound that isn't exactly a purr and more like a... pleasure one...
> Koakuma looks at you, surprised. "K-Kiku?"
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"I-I'm okay..."

Niji Gray:

>"Well... we know that it has something to do with Miss Reimu and Miss Marisa."

Nijisa:

>Head outside !

Niji-chan:

>"Uhhhhhhh...."

Niji Scarlet:

>"...i can't do it Flandre... it's too dangerous... too unstable..."

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"I-I'm okay..."

> Dai and Cirno keeps caressing your tail.
> "Did they..." Koa looks at them and at your tail, then at you and then at the tail again. "... D-Do you feel like that when they caress your tail...?"

Niji Gray:

>"Well... we know that it has something to do with Miss Reimu and Miss Marisa."

> "Those two? Well... I guess so..."

Nijisa:

>Head outside !

> You head outside of Marisa's house. She follows.
> When you are outside, you can see a trail of smoke coming from where the house of Alice is.
> "What was that?!" Asks Marisa.

Niji-chan:

>"Uhhhhhhh...."

> "Yuu! YUU!!" You barely hear Yuudachi...
> You... don't think you can stand so much time awake...
> ...

You want to know something I really like of you? Even if people sweep the floor with you, you still have an unwavering will. I love you, Niji. I love all of you. You all are my dear family...

Niji Scarlet:

>"...i can't do it Flandre... it's too dangerous... too unstable..."

> "D-Dangerous? Unstable?" Flandre frowns sadly. "Why...?"
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Subtly nod.

Niji Gray:

>"But they seemed like they had no clue about it..."

Nijisa:

>"An grouping of unstable magic exploded at Miss Alice's home."

Niji Scarlet:

>"It overloaded the original Niji's bracelet like it was gonna burst... then when i released it, it made an grouping of unstable magic, it touched Miss Alice's home, and exploded...."

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>Subtly nod.

> You nod.
> "... Hey, Dai, Cirno..." Koa looks at them.
> "Yes?" They look at her.
> "Don't stop caressing Kiku's tail. She likes it so much." She smiles.
> "Okay." They continue.
> It indeed feels incredible...

Niji Gray:

>"But they seemed like they had no clue about it..."

> "Maybe that's the main problem?" Suggests Chloe.
> "Hm?"

Nijisa:

>"An grouping of unstable magic exploded at Miss Alice's home."

Niji Scarlet:

>"It overloaded the original Niji's bracelet like it was gonna burst... then when i released it, it made an grouping of unstable magic, it touched Miss Alice's home, and exploded...."

> "W-What?!" Marisa then quickly returns to grab her broom and blasts off.

> "What...?" Patchouli looks at you.
> "O-Oh..." Flandre looks down.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Then we can return to doing that. So we don't get lost. Mysti, I think you should hold Kyouko's."
>Hold Kyouko's hand and hold Kokoro's.
>Start leading towards the library.

>Wear the gloves and try again.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Then we can return to doing that. So we don't get lost. Mysti, I think you should hold Kyouko's."
>Hold Kyouko's hand and hold Kokoro's.
>Start leading towards the library.

>Wear the gloves and try again.

> "Okay." Mystia takes Kyouko's hand as you take her as well and Kokoro's.
> You start to lead them to the library.

> You put the gloves on. They... fit perfectly...
> As soon as you try to manipulate his soul again, you can feel how easy is for you this time. It's like wearing scaler boots for the appropiate situation.
> Again, you try to manipulate his soul...
> The mind body of Rafael starts to change...
> "Oh, you are doing it..." Kira says with a tone of light surprise.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Continue in both ways.

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Enjoy.

Niji Scarlet:

>"I dunno much... after that Niji fell from the blast and got knocked out cold..."
>Look worried.

Niji Gray:

>"You mean her sadness comes from the fact they don't know about whatever she knows or something ?"

Nijisa:

>Blast off too.
>"Oi ! Don't leave me behind !"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Continue in both ways.

> You continue on to the library.

> "Uh...?" The boy questions. His voice also is changing.
> ...
> After a bit, your job is done...

Kiku-chan:

>Enjoy.

> You enjoy as Koa joins too.
> "Does it feel good?" Asks Koa.

Niji Scarlet:

>"I dunno much... after that Niji fell from the blast and got knocked out cold..."
>Look worried.

> "S-Sorry..." Flandre says with a sad tone.

Niji Gray:

>"You mean her sadness comes from the fact they don't know about whatever she knows or something ?"

> "I think it's more like that she's sad because she isn't so known..."
> "Ah, THAT... Yeah." Megumi closes the book. "That's something strange that usually happens with Master... People tend to forget about her easily, even asking who she is, as if they never met."

Nijisa:

>Blast off too.
>"Oi ! Don't leave me behind !"

> "Ya' are so slow!" Marisa speeds up, arriving at Alice's house. "Arisu!"
> "M-Marisa!" Alice stands up, shaking the dust in her dress.
> The other fairies do the same thing, some of them going to help the unconscious Niji.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"So, how do you feel?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"So, how do you feel?"

> The girl, who it was a boy before, speaks. It's basically Rafael, but now a girl.
> "... I-I..." She examines herself.
> "... I wasn't expecting you to really do it. Huh..." Kira comments.
> "It's... ... weird... ... b-but I like it..." She says.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Remove the gloves and return them to Kira.
>"So?"
>Continue.

[Monarda]

Nijisa:

>"How is Niji ?"

Niji Gray:

>"Odd... and it doesn't happen to you ?"

Niji Scarlet:

>"No it's okay... nobody was hurt."

Kiku-chan:

>Nod.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Remove the gloves and return them to Kira.
>"So?"
>Continue.

> You remove the gloves and you return them to Kira. He takes them.
> "... So it feels like this..." He touches her chest area. "Hm..."

> You continue. You are going downstairs now.

Nijisa:

>"How is Niji ?"

> "S-She seems okay..." A fairy says.
> "Yuuu! Yuuu!!" Yuudachi sitting in the floor, crying.
> Hourai and Shanghai are trying to comfort her.

Niji Gray:

>"Odd... and it doesn't happen to you ?"

> "It does..."
> "To all of us, at least sometimes." Chloe points out.
> "I even forget what she told me about medicine sometimes." Megumi says.

Niji Scarlet:

>"No it's okay... nobody was hurt."

> "Still, I'm sorry..."

Kiku-chan:

>Nod.

> The three of them continue.
> You just can't resist the urges to purr and "meow". T-This is weird...
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Gray:

>"This can't be natural... some unknown force must be at hand..."

Nijisa:

>Approach and check on Niji.

Niji-chan:

>Do we hear anything else ?

Niji Scarlet:

>"It's not your fault, nobody could have predicted it..."
>Pat her back.

Kiku-chan:

>Well, we are a neko...
