Greater Centenary Festival - Heavenly Cross/VII

[Rin Satsuki]

Daiko:
> "You say that as if it's a choice."

> "You are right. I would like to preemptively know if those that I will teach have some kind of discomfort of any kind, and remedy it with some discipline."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:
> "You haven't been so much teaching as telling us to do things and watching, it feels like."

[Rin Satsuki]

Daiko:
> "You haven't been so much teaching as telling us to do things and watching, it feels like."

> "Which is why we will be starting today with the real deal. None of you are aware yet what can or can't do with these soul manipulation abilities, so might as well clarify what I know so far, and maybe what you can figure out on your own."

Niji:
>"You know your sheep better than we do..."

Niji Yellow:
>"Hi!"
>To Yuudachi: "These ones are quite frilly, aren't they?"

Bastet:
>"Not really, I was just trying to see if you'd respond or something."

[Rin Satsuki]

Niji:
>"You know your sheep better than we do..."

Niji Yellow:
>"Hi!"
>To Yuudachi: "These ones are quite frilly, aren't they?"

Bastet:
>"Not really, I was just trying to see if you'd respond or something."

> "Yea! Teach them how to fly or something!" Sunny agrees.
> "I-I am their herder, but not a magus!"
> "C'mooon Marry, you should be able to do something!"
> "I-I can't even if you tell me to! If we can't bring them to the windows, then we will simply have to get them outside by the doors, no?"
> "We are done." Luna spoke. "We will get the scolding of our lives by the vampire when she finds out that her mansion is a glorified farm."
> "N-Now, no need to be like that... Listen. Niji, do you think you could maybe do something?" Elfin asked.

---

> "... Welcome, uh, miss?"
> "Yuuda! " Your doll attempts to hold the ones at stock.
> "My..."

---

> "I could have taken you out of that dream, but i was honestly curious to see what kind of family you had. Hope you don't mind~"

[Neovereign]

Daiko:
> "Alright..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:
> "Alright..."

> "The big difference between you two is that your soul manipulation abilities focus on different areas. Namely, the fairy has a more spiritual approach, while you have one that keeps you at close with whoever you are manipulating. Sure, she can do the same as well, but not as good as you can, and viceversa. Was that simple enough of a start?" Kira looked over his shoulder to you. "I guess you can simply call it Magic Soul Manipulation when it comes to her, and Physical Soul Manipulation with you, or however you want to name it."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiyousei:
> "Huh... So there's differences? I thought we both had the same."

Daiko:
> "Convenient you found both of us so close, huh."

[Rin Satsuki]

Daiyousei:
> "Huh... So there's differences? I thought we both had the same."

Daiko:
> "Convenient you found both of us so close, huh."

> "Well, I guess you can call it devil's luck. You went underground and I found you, and while with you I found her unusual behavior, so hooray me."
> Clearing her throat after a slip of voice, she looks over again.
> "It's just a logical difference. For obvious reasons you can't, say, subjugate a soul effectively as he can. It would take you more work both as a fairy, and him as having part of the Oni race, albeit still needing growth."
> "Thooough, just like this, he can't do what you did by accident some already. That is, suddenly taking individuals inside you. He does not possess the magic that you naturally have."
>

[Neovereign]

Daiyousei:
> "So he's... better..."

Daiko:
> "That's uh-"

Daiyousei:
> "T-Taking people in. That's what was happening with Cirno, right? I want to control that better."

[Rin Satsuki]

Daiyousei:
> "So he's... better..."

Daiko:
> "That's uh-"

Daiyousei:
> "T-Taking people in. That's what was happening with Cirno, right? I want to control that better."

> "... I had a feeling you would want to work around that. That is my intention, so you don't have to ask for it twice. The least I would want is for the shrine maiden to target you and derail things."
> Upon entering the woods of the Forest of Magic, you can already feel the essence in here, different from the village and areas that don't belong to this fully imbued forest of... well, magic.
> "Meanwhile, you..." The spirit looks over to Daiko.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiyousei:
> "I-I don't want to get exterminated..."

Daiko:
> "Meanwhile me?"

[Rin Satsuki]

Daiyousei:
> "I-I don't want to get exterminated..."

Daiko:
> "Meanwhile me?"

> "..."
> The spirit kept walking ahead, in silence. In a short time, the three arrive to what seems to be a lake. It's by no means like the Misty lake, but more like a pond. It's, in fact, the same pond where Daiko and Sakura got... almost fried by Marisa's spark.
> "We will have an easy fit."
> She clarified, the pair of fairy and human-youkai watching how some... Evil Spirits of all things were flying about and around. Some slowly, others blitzing from one side to the other of the pond, as if craving to find something.
> There were... so many, the surroundings feeling hollow and, in general, uneasy.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:
> "Ah... what happened here?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:
> "Ah... what happened here?"

> "I brought them here as simple subjects for you two to test how much you can do."
> Kira twirls her finger towards the spirits.
> "So, are you two ready to prove to the other the big gap between you~?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiyousei:
> "Uh... What are we supposed to be doing? Daiko's is physical, right? And mine is spiritual... It's hard to compare, right?"

[Rin Satsuki]

Daiyousei:
> "Uh... What are we supposed to be doing? Daiko's is physical, right? And mine is spiritual... It's hard to compare, right?"

> "Appease them, that is. And consider what I said as a way of explaining the flaws and strong points of each. Don't take it in the most literal sense."
> Kira grins.
> "The guy knows the drill already on how to do this, but how about you? Know how you are supposed to do it, or haven't figured it out yet?"

[Neovereign]

Daiyousei:
> "Uuhhh..."

[Rin Satsuki]

Daiyousei:
> "Uuhhh..."

> "The guy appeases souls that are close, hence the physical explanation I gave. Therefore, since you can't do that as well as him, you have to rely on the other alternative."
> "Which is appeasing with them inside you."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiyousei:
> Blink.

[Rin Satsuki]

Daiyousei:
> Blink.

> ... Was he for real? Err, she...
> "Your area of expertise will be your own body. Your own soul. That is where you will bring those you want to manipulate. Why else do you think it's so easy for you to even accidentally take people in you? You have no control, but that can be fixed."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiyousei:
> "So I have to take people in to manipulate them? T-That's not fair..."

[Rin Satsuki]

Daiyousei:
> "So I have to take people in to manipulate them? T-That's not fair..."

> "It's a different story comparing your physical body with your magic. Weak, but the latter at least is something you can around with."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiyousei:
> "Doesn't make it fair..."

[Rin Satsuki]

Daiyousei:
> "Doesn't make it fair..."

> "Then make it."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiyousei:
> "How?"

Daiko:
> "Well, maybe become a greater fairy? Show you can do better things?"

[Rin Satsuki]

Daiyousei:
> "How?"

Daiko:
> "Well, maybe become a greater fairy? Show you can do better things?"

> "A Greater Fairy? Yea, I guess that works. For all I know that even is though, I will just assume it's effective. Even if it's not fair in your eyes, then make it fair by yourself. Take what I teach you, and evolve with it."

Niji:
>Do we have any abilities other than cloning and turning into light?

Niji Yellow:
>Let her play, though catch anything that might fall and be ready to stop her if she might break stuff.
>"She's quite cute, isn't she?"

Bastet:
>"Oh, it's fine. It was nice to catch up with family, even if it was just a dream."

> Storing light in your bracelet as well.

---

> You leave Yuudachi on the counter of the stall, letting her freely navigate around to the dolls.
> "I don't see living dolls often around jere, if at all..." The woman spoke. "How, even?"

---

> "It is good to see you take dreams for what they are, and not brushing them aside easily when they do mean something~"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiyousei:
> "Then uh... What should we be aiming to do here?"
