Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 10

[Monarda]

Nijipiece:

>"Well yeah, but if the people living there kept hidden for so long almost nobody knew they existed, how do you think they will reach with another goddess from another world just barguing in, swiping some of the ambient magic and then being able to just go there uninvited at will ? Sure, Lady Hecatia may not be someone bad... but she has shown that she doesn't care about who lives there either."

Bastet-chan:

>Can we manipulate the dream to show Doremy what happened to us when we were with Oniru ?
>Go to our room and lie down on our bed, then drift to sleep and enter the dream world.

Niji Red:

>"Maybe restrain her if you can't do it."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"You took pictures just now, right? Of what exactly?"

[Rin Satsuki]

Nijipiece:

Niji Red:

>"Maybe restrain her if you can't do it."

> Clownpiece goes silent.

> You think...
> You think it's possible for you to manipulate your own dreams. You hope that Doremy see them, though...
> You go downstairs.
> After a quick hello to Koakuma, Cirno, Daiyousei and Sakura, you go to the bedroom you took for yourself.
> You close the door and you lie on the bed.
> You close your eyes to reach the dream world in your sleep.
> ...
> Your dream self is at the room you are sleeping...
> Your real self is nowhere to be seen, though.

> "B-But what if she doesn't return to normal...?"
> Nitori stands up and tries to reach the knife again.

Daiko:

>"You took pictures just now, right? Of what exactly?"

> "Eh? Showing the pictures of a future article to others in advance isn't professional. If I do, the probability that you are going to read my newspaper decrease, since you'll know what's in it." Aya says, frowning slightly.
> "Y-You aren't going to show my panties in that newspaper yours..." Kyouko whispers to herself.
> _

[Monarda]

Nijipiece:

>"I know that you idolize her... but even gods can be wrong..."

Daiko-kun:

>"However don't think i forgot what got you in trouble with the villagers, i want to make sure you aren't pulling off something like this again."

Niji Red:

>Move it away again and poke her back.
>"Nope, bad Nitori."
>Sigh.
>"What about an tranquilizer ? Something to put her to sleep."

Bastet-chan:

>Explore.
>Why did Oniru not talk with Doremy, but did with us ?

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"The article won't exist if there's no information..."
>Frown.

[Rin Satsuki]

Nijipiece:

>"I know that you idolize her... but even gods can be wrong..."

> "Y-You are the wrong here... M-Master is great and cool..." Clownpiece starts to sniff a bit. "I-Idiot... You are an idiot..."

Daiko:

>"The article won't exist if there's no information..."
>Frown.

> "The information will be given when the new edition of the paper comes out. That's how it works." The tengu says.

> "Information about underwear?!" V!Kyouko frowns.

Daiko-kun:

>"However don't think i forgot what got you in trouble with the villagers, i want to make sure you aren't pulling off something like this again."

> "Wait, wha-"
> Kyouko suddenly tackles Aya. "YOU AREN'T GOING TO SHOW MY UNDERWEAR TO OTHER PEOPLE, PERVERT TENGUUU!"
> "WAAAH! GET OFF! GET OOOFF!"
> Both of them start to struggle, with Kyouko trying to grab the camera, while Aya is trying to push her away.

Niji Red:

>Move it away again and poke her back.
>"Nope, bad Nitori."
>Sigh.
>"What about an tranquilizer ? Something to put her to sleep."

> You move it away again and you poke Nitori.
> "Oww..." She says.
> "I-I don't think I have tha-"
> Rifa pauses.
> "... maybe someone does have those..."

> (Gray) Megumi waits impaciently.

Bastet-chan:

>Explore.
>Why did Oniru not talk with Doremy, but did with us ?

> You explore the room... It's the exact same thing as the real one... but this is the dream one.
> You think...
> She wasn't able to talk with Doremy. Oniru intuits that you have something that Doremy doesn't.
> _

[Monarda]

Nijipiece:

>Hug her.
>"I am not saying she isn't great and cool, but she, just like us, can make mistakes."

Niji Red:

>"Who ?"

Niji Gray:

>"Hm... let's go to the Moriya Shrine, they must know something about it."
>Nod.

Bastet-chan:

>Try to recreate the same events that happened to us last time we were in the Dream World, with us on a 3rd person view of it.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Kyouko, hold on a moment!"

[Rin Satsuki]

Nijipiece:

>Hug her.
>"I am not saying she isn't great and cool, but she, just like us, can make mistakes."

Niji Red:

>"Who ?"

Niji Gray:

>"Hm... let's go to the Moriya Shrine, they must know something about it."
>Nod.

Bastet-chan:

>Try to recreate the same events that happened to us last time we were in the Dream World, with us on a 3rd person view of it.

> You hug Clownpiece. She doesn't reciprocate nor pushes you away. She only looks down.

> "I'll return in a second!" Rifa leaves.

> "Alright. Come here." Megumi offers you her hand.

> You try to recreate the events that happened...
> In the split of a second, you are seeing the whole scene happening. You are even in space, like last time.

Daiko:

>"Kyouko, hold on a moment!"

> "NO! SHE MUST GIVE ME THAT CAMERA!" Kyouko keeps trying.
> "ARE YOU AN IDIOT?!" Aya struggles.
> Mystia facepalms.
> _

[Monarda]

Nijipiece:

>"Hey Nijis, are you gonna say it or not ?"

Niji Blue:

>"W-Well..."

Niji Gray:

>Take it.

Bastet-chan:

>Watch it.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Kyouko, you're gonna get someone hurt or something broken! Please calm down!"

[Rin Satsuki]

Nijipiece:

>"Hey Nijis, are you gonna say it or not ?"

Niji Blue:

>"W-Well..."

Niji Gray:

>Take it.

Bastet-chan:

>Watch it.

> "Say what?" Asks Clownpiece, not so interested.

> You take Megumi's hand.
> "Will you not do something strange in my world concerning light?"
> She pauses.
> "Well... concerning anything ,since it's my world?"

> You watch the scene like happened...

Daiko:

>"Kyouko, you're gonna get someone hurt or something broken! Please calm down!"

> Kyouko seems to ignore you for moments, but backs off after a couple of seconds.
> "Hmph!" She looks away, upset.
> "The hell is wrong with you?!" Aya questions, upset.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Aya, what pictures did you take?"

[Monarda]

Nijipiece:

>"Cmon..."

Niji Blue:

>"I um... Clowny... i..."

Niji Gray:

>"Um, of course, why would i ? It's not like anyone would gain anything by messing with your stuff Mama."

[Rin Satsuki]

Daiko:

>"Aya, what pictures did you take?"

> "Do you want to know what I took?! Fine!"
> Aya reluctantly pushes her camera to your chest.
> "If that's going to stop all of you from being such jerks!"

Nijipiece:

>"Cmon..."

Niji Blue:

>"I um... Clowny... i..."

Niji Gray:

>"Um, of course, why would i ? It's not like anyone would gain anything by messing with your stuff Mama."

> Clownpiece starts to get impatient.
> "I don't have all the day, dammit... I have to find a way to restore my relationship with Milady..."

> Megumi pauses as if thinking about something.
> "... Right."
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Gray:

>"Something wrong Mama ?"

Niji Blue:

>"I... I-I love you Clowny !"

Bastet-chan:

>Hm... do we know how to enter other's dreams ?

[Rin Satsuki]

Niji Gray:

>"Something wrong Mama ?"

Niji Blue:

>"I... I-I love you Clowny !"

Bastet-chan:

>Hm... do we know how to enter other's dreams ?

> "... Just thinking about the past. Nothing of your concern."
> She sighs.
> "Anyway... Ready?"

> "WHAT?!" Clownpiece jumps, breaking the hug and getting away from your group. "WHAAAT?!"

> You think...
> You can enter to the dreams of someone if said person is dreaming and you are near. You can enter the dreams at will if you want.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Blue:

>Nod and fidget.
>"Y-Yeah... you are funny and cool and also smart too..."

Niji Gray:

>Nod.
>"Did someone try to hurt you in the past Mama ?"

[Rin Satsuki]

Niji Blue:

>Nod and fidget.
>"Y-Yeah... you are funny and cool and also smart too..."

> You nod and fidget.
> "T-The helll..." Clownpiece says, blinking a few times. She's looking at you with a weird look.

Niji Gray:

>Nod.
>"Did someone try to hurt you in the past Mama ?"

> "Not exactly..." Megumi starts to lead you to the shadows.
> Megumi's hand feels... really smooth...
> "Good luck." Chloe says.
> _

[Neovereign]

Dako:

>Hesitate, then hold the camera back to her.
>"S-Sorry Aya... Just please, nothing we wouldn't want everyone to see?"

[Tashi]

Dako:

>Hesitate, then hold the camera back to her.
>"S-Sorry Aya... Just please, nothing we wouldn't want everyone to see?"

> You push the camera to Aya again.
> "There is not." Aya says, calming down a bit.
> "How can we trust her?!" Kyouko questions, looking at you. "She already did that!"
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Blue:

>"Y-Yeah..."

Nijipiece:

>"Tell me Clowny, you said you wanted to make Niji happy, but the question is, why did you want to make her happy ?"
>Nod.
>"What does your heart tell you about Niji ? Do you feel nice tagging along with her and doing stuff with her ? Were you happy when she offered to help you on that mission ?"

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Because you trust people until they give you a reason not to trust them."

[Tashi]

Niji Blue:

>"Y-Yeah..."

Nijipiece:

>"Tell me Clowny, you said you wanted to make Niji happy, but the question is, why did you want to make her happy ?"
>Nod.
>"What does your heart tell you about Niji ? Do you feel nice tagging along with her and doing stuff with her ? Were you happy when she offered to help you on that mission ?"

> Clownpiece is silent for some seconds. She frowns and folds her arms in her chest.
> "She's stubborn. I admit I like being with her and do stuff with her, but she's sooo stubborn." She replies. "... It's not all that bad, however..."

Daiko:

>"Because you trust people until they give you a reason not to trust them."

> "Ngh..."
> Aya sighs.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Sure those things may have been done before, but Aya's probably not going to do them now."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Sure those things may have been done before, but Aya's probably not going to do them now."

> Aya clears her throat.
> "I still don't trust her." Kyouko pouts.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Aya, could you promise?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Aya, could you promise?"

> Aya places her hands on the back of her head, looking away while pouting.
> "Hmm..."
> "See, she isn't going to do it!"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Aya..."

[Monarda]

Niji Blue:

>"A-Am i really that stubborn ?"

Nijipiece:

>Nod.

Daiko-kun:

>"Think well, you already have the village against you, are you sure you wanna increase the list of people that distrust you ?"
