Niji White:

>"Uh... i regained contact with the other Nijis..."

Niji Blue:

>"Me too..."

Nijipiece:

>What happened to us ?

Kiku-chan:

>"Coot."

Nijisa:

>"Lily ?! What happened ?!"

Niji-chan:

>"...they did it ?"

[Tashi]

Niji White:

>"Uh... i regained contact with the other Nijis..."

Niji Blue:

>"Me too..."

Nijipiece:

>What happened to us ?

> "You are?" Sunny asks. "Well, that's nice! Did that other one that looks like Marisa found anyone?"
> Formerly, the group of unnamed fairies were led by White, then Blue and Nijipiece joined. Shortly after, the Three Fairies too, as well as Clownpiece.
> Clownpiece, however, was the one that led you to this place, where she found Orange like this already.

Kiku-chan:

>"Coot."

> "Eh?" Koa looks over. "... 'Coot'?"

Nijisa:

>"Lily ?! What happened ?!"

> "Aaah! I was so wooorrieeed!" Lily hugs you tightly.
> "Lilyyy!" Cirno tackle hugs both of you.
> "Uuuh..." Mana blinks.

Niji-chan:

>"...they did it ?"

> "W-What do you mean?" Alice asks, embracing herself. It's getting colder...

V!Daiko:

>Frown a bit.
>"Mm..."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>Frown a bit.
>"Mm..."

> "I think it would be better if you all go home, people..." Mystia suggests.
> The people agree and, after paying, they start to leave quickly.
> It starts to get louder...
> "..." Mystia blinks. "A-Ah!" The things outside! I gotta take them inside!"
> Mystia rushes outside.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"I'll help!"
>Follow Misty for assistance!

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"I'll help!"
>Follow Misty for assistance!

> You get outside, immediately helping Mystia. Both of you are getting wet fast.
> You have to thank your Yuki-Onna blood, though. It lets you stand this just well.
> Mystia, on the other hand...
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Help better for her then. Do we see Kokoro anywhere during this?

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Help better for her then. Do we see Kokoro anywhere during this?

> You improve your help meter.
> You don't see Kokoro around.
> "T-Thanks..." Mystia shivers as she gets everything in the stand.

> (Niji) "L-Let's return, Niji!" Alice pulls you back to her house.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Gonna check Kokoro and Kyouko..."

V!Daiko:

>Try to bring the two into this vision.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Gonna check Kokoro and Kyouko..."

V!Daiko:

>Try to bring the two into this vision.

> Mystia nods, making sure everything is in its place.

> You try to bring Kokoro and Kyouko, but the former rejects once again.
> "Hi..." V!Kyouko says tiredly.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Are you alright? Is it raining where you are? I couldn't get in contact with Kokoro yet..."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"Are you alright? Is it raining where you are? I couldn't get in contact with Kokoro yet..."

> "Just tired... And yea... I am at the Temple..."
> "Tough day?"
> "V-Very much..."
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Is it alright if I go out and try to see if Kokoro's alright? I mean, if she's not accepting contact when there's almost a storm, something might be wrong..."

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Ugh."
>Make Niji Yellow.
>"Go check on the lake !"
>Follow Alice back.

Niji Yellow:

>Go to Light Form and head towards the lake.

Niji White:

>"Wonder what happened to her..."

Bastet-chan:

>"Where is Niji-chan ?"

Kiku-chan:

>"Ehm, i mean cute."

[Rin Satsuki]

V!Daiko:

>"Is it alright if I go out and try to see if Kokoro's alright? I mean, if she's not accepting contact when there's almost a storm, something might be wrong..."

> "I don't think it's a good idea... What if she doesn't want you to get drenched because searching for her?"
> "Kokoro's at the temple." V!Kyouko says.

Niji-chan:

>"Ugh."
>Make Niji Yellow.
>"Go check on the lake !"
>Follow Alice back.

Niji Yellow:

>Go to Light Form and head towards the lake.

Niji White:

>"Wonder what happened to her..."

Bastet-chan:

>"Where is Niji-chan ?"

Kiku-chan:

>"Ehm, i mean cute."

> You create Niji Yellow, making her go to the Misty Lake.

> "I found her like this." Clownpiece says with a clear disgusted tone.

> Youbare about to arrive to home.
> "I-I don't know..." Sakura says, protecting you from the rain.

> Koa smiles.
> "This is a mirror of memories."
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Okay, good. ...I think I might've done something to make her upset."

[Monarda]

Niji White:

>"But why is she like this ? What about that older Orange ? This one looks like she is free from the corruption."

Kiku-chan:

>"?"

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"Okay, good. ...I think I might've done something to make her upset."

> "You did?" V!Kyouko frowns.
> "I don't think he did... _{^{I hope...}}"

Niji White:

>"But why is she like this ? What about that older Orange ? This one looks like she is free from the corruption."

> "I don't know, okay?" Clownpiece says, seemigly upset due to your inquiries. She looks away. "It would be more easy if we just get rid of her..."

Kiku-chan:

>"?"

> "I don't know if you have heard of things called, uh... cameras?" Koa asks.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"I'm not sure if I did anything upsetting recently... I wouldn't think so."

[R. P. Genocraft]

Niji Blue:
>Put a hand on Clownpiece's shoulder.

Nijisa:
>Check if Orange's breathing and heartbeat are normal.

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"I'm not sure if I did anything upsetting recently... I wouldn't think so."

> "I don't think so either?" V!Mystia shrugs.
> "She said she had to talk with Byakuren-sama." V!Kyouko snaps out of her tiredness a bit.

Niji Blue:
>Put a hand on Clownpiece's shoulder.

Nijisa:
>Check if Orange's breathing and heartbeat are normal.

> You put a hand on Clownpiece's shoul-
> "What?" She looks over to you with a harsh tone. "I'm okay. I don't need pity."

> Nijisa is currently hearing how Lily has fared until now, finding Orange's rod lost in the woods. She isn't with the group of White, Blue and Nijipiece.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Blue:

>"We gotta go, let's not forget that the person that harmed us wasn't Orange, just someone that had her appearance."

Nijipiece:

>"Yeah, we don't even know why is she like this."

Kiku-chan:

>"Cameras ? You mean the things that take photos ?"

Nijisa:

>So ? What about the mints ?

[Tashi]

Niji Blue:

>"We gotta go, let's not forget that the person that harmed us wasn't Orange, just someone that had her appearance."

Nijipiece:

>"Yeah, we don't even know why is she like this."

> "And what we do with her?" Clownpiece groans as she looks disgusted at Orange.
> "We shouldn't leave her like this..." Star says.
> "But she attacked us..." Sunny frowns.
> "We don't know if it was her. She's different now, right?"
> "I'm not sure..." Luna looks uncertain...

Nijisa:

>So ? What about the mints ?

> You are about to arrive to the secret garden with the mints. Lily is telling you as you continue. She's holding the rod.
> "And then, and then..." Lily blinks. "... Where are we going to?"
> "Help Elfin." Cirno says.

Kiku-chan:

>"Cameras ? You mean the things that take photos ?"

> Koa nods.
> "This is similar... It takes what is reflected and, if we activate its magic, the current reflection will be saved, like a picture. It can only stack a maximum of five, though..."
> _

[Monarda]

Niji White:

>"Well, if she isn't with those two, then what does it mean ?"

Niji Yellow:

>So ?

Nijisa:

>"Elfin is real bad..."

Kiku-chan:

>"Ooo..."

Niji-chan:

>"Alice, is it possible to just drain away the magic of someone ?"

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Huh..."

[Tashi]

Niji White:

>"Well, if she isn't with those two, then what does it mean ?"

Niji Yellow:

>So ?

> "That the man, woman or whatever kicked her?" Sunny shrugs.
> "Let's leave her on her own." Clownpiece rolls her eyes.

> You arrived at the lake. Nobody is around, obviously. Maybe Wakasagihime in other part of the lake.

Nijisa:

>"Elfin is real bad..."

> "H-Huh?"
> You arrive at the secret garden.
> "Ah!" Marry waves. "Is everyone alright?"

Niji-chan:

>"Alice, is it possible to just drain away the magic of someone ?"

> "I don't know. Sorry." Alice shakes her head.
> You arrived at her house moment ago. She gave you a towel to dry off.

Kiku-chan:

>"Ooo..."

> The mirror glows slightly, changing the reflection.
> You can see Koakuma, along with... more devils that look almost like her, save for the clothes, hair, and other details. They are in a place that you can't determine.

V!Daiko:

>"Huh..."

> "So, uh... What are you going to do?" V!Mystia asks. "Go out doesn't seem to be a good idea..."
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"I guess I'll be staying in with Mysti for now."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"I guess I'll be staying in with Mysti for now."

> You think you see V!Kyouko smile for a second...
> "Oh? Then you better find something interesting to do. It doesn't seem that it will stop raining soon..."
> "We even had to close the stand sooner..." V!Mystia sighs.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"Ooo... more Koas, that's something i wanna drown in, tee hee."

Niji White:

>"Well... i can't, i promised to save her and bring her back to Miss Meiling, this could have happened to anyone, even to me..."

Niji-chan:

>"Because what i saw... it's like she was drained of her life, her skin was pale and her body... her hair... it was like she was withering..."

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"Ooo... more Koas, that's something i wanna drown in, tee hee."

> Koa blushes.
> "T-They are the other devils I consider as 'sisters'... We all look pretty much as twins, more or less, minus hair color and that stuff."
> The reflection changes. It's another featuring them.

Niji White:

>"Well... i can't, i promised to save her and bring her back to Miss Meiling, this could have happened to anyone, even to me..."

> "But it didn't, right? So let's just leave."
> "Why are you so meanie out of nowhere?" Star frowns questioningly.
> "Why?!" Clownpiece stands up. "That stupid girl tried to kill us along with that other stupid being, man, woman, WHATEVER! Why don't we just let her rot and die?!"

Niji-chan:

>"Because what i saw... it's like she was drained of her life, her skin was pale and her body... her hair... it was like she was withering..."

> "I... never heard that such thing is possible..." Alice blinks, drying herself with a towel. "Who are we talking about, if I may know?"
