Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 4

[Tashi]

WARNING: If you don't want to spoil yourself anything of the past events of this story, I recommend you to read the previous part/s. Thanks.

> Your name is Daikoku "Daiko" Susumu, a hybrid of human and youkai who quietly spended most of his time locked in his house, located in the village of humans.

> In the past, you locked yourself up when you started to see everyday things as a nuisance. Nobody looked for you and you do not wanted them to.

> So it was in the past. After some events in the present days, you changed your mind: You want to remake your life. For that you will need the help of your current and future friends to keep going for a better tomorrow for yourself and your companions.

> In this days, you discovered you had various types of souls in your body. This "companions" say having some kind of memories of a past life of them, but they are incapable of remembering. They along with Daikoku, want to make a life of their own, with their own body.

> The names of your "residents" are:

> Kiku, the Black Cat.
> Bastet, the White Cat.
> Niji, the Rainbow Fairy.

> You have the ability to foresee the future, but only in a small scale. Even when you try to do this, the one that you are trying to read the future can notice this, and block you from trying something...

> You found a way to separate the souls of your friends of yours by giving them a part of it, making them have their own body in the real world.

> Sakura, your grandmother, told you some things about you: You might be a hybrid of human and Yuki-Onna, but you have a oni horn. Said horn it's the other one that Sakura doesn't have anymore. Your grandmother told you about the effects of her horns, that it can absorb any type of energy, but would yours have the same...?

> Right now, you are trying to begin a romantic relationship with Hata no Kokoro. However, because an advice of Fujiwara no Mokou, you are trying to slow things a bit to let Kokoro understand better her feelings...


> When Sakura let her abilities be known, you now have a more large house in the blink of an eye!
> She is guiding you through the expansions that no one had ever seen...

>"Ha... It's like having a second house... The other's more of an attic than this being a basement..."

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"I could have definitely used the extra space and stuff..."

Kiku-chan:

>"Are there any other surprises waiting for us ?"

[Tashi]

>"Ha... It's like having a second house... The other's more of an attic than this being a basement..."

> "Hehe, the only detail being that the attic it's the entrance."

Daiko-kun:

>"I could have definitely used the extra space and stuff..."

> "For what? Books and mountains of books?" Sakura giggles.

Kiku-chan:

>"Are there any other surprises waiting for us ?"

> "Surprises? Like the library with a lot of ancient books? For Daiko, I guess it's a surprise."
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>Tackle that Oni.
>"...take me there.... NOW !"

Everyone else:

>Giggle.
>"You brought this to yourself."

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>Tackle that Oni.
>"...take me there.... NOW !"

Everyone else:

>Giggle.
>"You brought this to yourself."

> You tackle Sakura.
> "W-Whoa! Chill down, pal! First everyone's room!"
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"Alright, but you better show me, books are my true sake."
>Let go and wait impaciently.

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"Alright, but you better show me, books are my true sake."
>Let go and wait impaciently.

> You separate.
> "Geez... Look!" Sakura opens a door of one of the hallways.
> ... Where was this place all your life? You see a great spacious bedroom with a very looking-comfy bed. It seems this has another door, and you suppose it's the bathroom.
> "And yep, the other rooms are as great as this!"
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"That's awesome and all, but where is the library Sakura ?!"

Bastet:

>Jump onto the bed.
>"Comfy..."

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"That's awesome and all, but where is the library Sakura ?!"

> "The more you ask for it, the more I'm going to delay it." Sakura giggles.

Bastet:

>Jump onto the bed.
>"Comfy..."

> "Is it, right?"
> "How you afforded all of this?" Kokoro asks.
> "All this ages I have didn't went in vain, hehe~"
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>Pout.
>"Well then i am going to look for it myself !"
>Head out seeking the library door on the hallway.

Kiku-chan:

>"I guess, i mean, with hundreds of years to work, everyone can get something like this."

[Neovereign]

>Kiku:"Are we still troubled enough for jobs then? I mean, I'd still like to be a maid, but the others..."

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>Pout.
>"Well then i am going to look for it myself !"
>Head out seeking the library door on the hallway.

> You start searching for the mysterious and beloved library door...
> You find a door that is different from the others. This one it's more big.

Kiku-chan:

>"I guess, i mean, with hundreds of years to work, everyone can get something like this."

> "Indeed... but you know what this place needs? Electronic things!" Sakura sighs. "Sadly, I was unable to obtain such things..."

>Kiku:"Are we still troubled enough for jobs then? I mean, I'd still like to be a maid, but the others..."

> "Well, the economic problem we have still persists... but nothing we can't fix, don't you think Kiku?"
> _

[Neovereign]

>Kiku:"Yea. We should be fine."
>Daiko:Open the door.

[Tashi]

>Kiku:"Yea. We should be fine."

> "By the way... What you guys are going to do with Kanako? You already know how to separate, so..."

>Daiko:Open the door.

> You slowly open the door.
> The sudden sensation of magic coming from this large library gives you a strange feeling... You think you know what this sensation is.
> It's a pretty big library, not as the one of the SDM, of course, but still pretty big.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Kiku:"Um... I'll probably tell her that I intend to work there now, and that what they seem to be doing doesn't seem bad."
>Daiko:"^{_{Found it...}}"
>Head in and search for those books, provided we're far enough away from the others...

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"And that if it does start to seem fishy, i will tell them more."

Bastet:

>"Um... why don't you let me tell them ? That way you don't get in trouble if they find out."

[Tashi]

>Kiku:"Um... I'll probably tell her that I intend to work there now, and that what they seem to be doing doesn't seem bad."

Kiku-chan:

>"And that if it does start to seem fishy, i will tell them more."

Bastet:

>"Um... why don't you let me tell them ? That way you don't get in trouble if they find out."

> "Yeah, I don't think they will be able to hurt Bastet or anything, so it's a way."
> "Why don't you guys take advantage of the situation?" Kokoro asks.
> "Huh?"
> "You see... you still can give them information and they will give you a miracle... so... you can ask anything from them if you don't want the split up thing anymore."

>Daiko:"^{_{Found it...}}"
>Head in and search for those books, provided we're far enough away from the others...

> You start to explore the unknown library, in search for those "special" books that Kokoro want. The magical feeling of this place gets stronger.
> And so do the feeling in your mind.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Try to feel for that feeling more.

>Kiku:"Oh... Well... what would we want as a miracle..."

[Tashi]

>Try to feel for that feeling more.

> It's... the box feeling... This one it's different from the other three. It feels weak, but it feels strong too. It's almost like it react as you get close to the various books that emanate magic.

>Kiku:"Oh... Well... what would we want as a miracle..."

> "Anything, isn't it? It's a miracle, after all." Kokoro says.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Get closer to the books and focus on that feeling.

[Tashi]

>Get closer to the books and focus on that feeling.

> It gets even more stronger when you get closer to them.
> But nothing more seems to happen.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Take one of the books and examine them.

[Tashi]

>Take one of the books and examine them.

> You take one of the books and examine it. Seems to be a book about flying and how to "focus" yourself.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Open it up and start to read...

[Tashi]

>Open it up and start to read...

> You open the book and start to read it's content...
> ...
> Minutes pass away.
> Huh, it seems you can "focus" when you are flying to have more precise movement. This is specially useful for danmaku. Makes you think... Since how long the danmaku has been used? It has been used since very ancient times?
> _

[Neovereign]

>Put the book back and try it out. Start floating and attempt to focus, as it entails.

[Tashi]

>Put the book back and try it out. Start floating and attempt to focus, as it entails.

> You return the book to it's previous stop.
> Afterwards, you float a bit.
> Concentrate in you inner self and flow the energy towards your chest. You remember the words of the book.
> As you try this, you feel your sight being more accurate, as well your body being more slow.
> Your chest shines a bit, like a red phantom sphere.
> _

[Neovereign]

>"Hm?"
>Touch it lightly. What does it feel like?

>Kiku:"Maybe good health, wealth, and luck. Then again, that's pretty boring..."

[Tashi]

>"Hm?"
>Touch it lightly. What does it feel like?

> You touch your chest with the right hand. It feels... like almost all of yourself it's at that single spot.

>Kiku:"Maybe good health, wealth, and luck. Then again, that's pretty boring..."

> "Material things?" Sakura suggests.
> "... Oh, I know now." Kokoro says.
> "What? Do you have an idea?"
> "Tell Sanae to cast a miracle on you that makes you able to do miracles and-" Kokoro raises her hands. "infinite miracles for everybody."
