Title: Yorihime Quest
Post by: Lt Colonel Summers on February 02, 2017, 01:39:58 PM
Author's note: yes, you're reading that title right. This is the CYOA of Watatsuki No Yorihime.
So I thought I should give CYOAs another shot after over a year of just watching from the sidelines. Hope this one sees the finale...

...

>You are Watatsuki No Yorihime, The Moon Princess Possessed Around By Divine Spirits.
>You are a princess of the Lunar Kingdom...Or at least, that's your official position in the Lunarian government. Unofficially, you are a high-ranking commander of the Lunar Defense Force, and your task is to defend the Lunar Kingdom in the event of an incursion by those filthy Earthlings.
>Your reputation in the Lunarian public has somewhat plummeted ever since that damned Yakumo Yukari got one of her friends to steal the Lunar Kingdom's oldest bottle of Sake (using herself as the distraction, even!), and even further when that Chinese divine spirit with a grudge against Chang'E (and her Greek goddess accomplice) successfully takes over the Kingdom's capital using an army of fairies, of all things (which even forced you to accept help from the filthy Earthlings).

>It has been a year since the Fairy Invasion was thwarted by the shrine maiden of that filthy Gensokyo (and three of her friends including your former pet, Reisen)...
>Security in the Lunar Kingdom has been, under your command, tightened following the Invasion. If anyone decides to pick a fight with the Lunar Kingdom right now, you hope that the increased security measures will discourage these would-be attackers.
>Luckily for you, nothing bad has been happening in the Lunar Kingdom for a while. Although you kept security levels high just in case that damned Yakumo Yukari decides to do something funny again.

>You are currently in your living quarters in the Imperial Palace. You're just sitting on the couch opposite of your sister, Watatsuki No Toyohime, who is currently eating some peaches.
>You currently don't have any objectives assigned to you, so you have plenty of free time for the moment.

//A Yorihime Quest! Nice way to begin the day :3

> Inventory.
> Relationships.
> Level of abilities.
> Add as a quest that we want train even more to be an iron wall against anything that attacks our home.
> We want to restore our reputation. We can't let anyone take us easy. Add that as a quest as well.
> Look at Toyohime.
>> If Toyohime is too focused in eating the peaches, quickly look at our chest size.
>> Return our look to our sister once this is done, and check her chest size as well. Make sure this is done if Toyohime isn't looking. If she is, don't do this.

>Inventory check
-Dress: Nothing special about this dress which you wear every day.
-Ribbon: Some people say that it resembled rabbit ears. You still don't understand why.
-Sword of Lord Gion: Your main weapon, which you use to channel the powers of the Shinto gods with. You can also stab it into the ground to trap your enemies in a field of blades (as long as they are also grounded). Currently stored away in your Hammerspace.

>Relationships
-Watatsuki No Toyohime: Your sister, who is also a princess of the Lunar Kingdom. Unlike you, though, she's not the military type, and doesn't take things quite as seriously as you do. When she does, though, she gets creepy enough to send chills down your spine. Especially with her Fan of Mass Purification.
-Reisen #2: A Moon Rabbit who's currently the pet of you and your sister.
-Yagokoro Eirin: Your former mentor. She's also the founding mother of the Lunar Kingdom as you know it, and quite ironically, is now Public Enemy #2. You are very reluctant to seek her out and put her under arrest, and that is one of the reasons your PR plummeted. She's currently hiding out in Gensokyo alongside Houraisan Kaguya. Speaking of which...
-Houraisan Kaguya: She's technically your cousin. After she was found to have consumed the Hourai Elixir, the Lunarian government had her exiled to Earth for the rest of her eternal life. From what you heard, the Lunarian government actually decided to forgive her at one point, and even sent in an emissary and Lady Yagokoro to retrieve her from the Earth...and something must've compelled Lady Yagokoro to kill said emissary, and effectively defect to that filthy Gensokyo...
-Kishin Sagume: A close associate of Lady Yagokoro. You know that reality itself wants to contradict her statements all the time, which is why she doesn't talk much.
-Yakumo Yukari: This bitch is pretty much Public Enemy #1. A long time ago, she decided to sic an entire army of Youkai on the Lunar Kingdom, which thankfully was easily curb-stomped. A while ago, she even got a friend of hers to steal the Lunar Kingdom's oldest bottle of Sake right under your noses (using herself as the distraction, even!). Her manipulation of boundaries, although not quite powerful by Lunarian standards, is the only reason you haven't just went ahead and arrested her for all that she's done.
-Hakurei Reimu: For all you know, she seems to be a counterpart of you from Gensokyo, right down to having the same PR problems. She can also summon Shinto gods, but not as well as you do. You don't completely hate her. In fact, you've used her to help restore a bit of your PR, and she seems to be a bit popular amongst the Lunarian public, despite her being (from your point of view) a servant of that damned Yakumo.

>Levels of abilities
-Summoning of Shinto gods: Self-explanatory. The summoned gods don't actually participate in battles directly, but they do assist by lending you their powers.
-Swordsmanship: You are quite skilled at using your sword, which is no ordinary sword, so to speak.

>Quest list
-[NEW] No Such Thing As Ultimate: You know there is no such thing as the absolute strongest, despite what the Lunar Defense Force think of themselves. But you do know you need to make yourself enough of a challenge to send any would-be troublemakers packing.
-[NEW] Princesses Needs Reputations: All those troubles in the past few years have caused your reputation to plummet. You want to find a way to restore it.

>You look at Toyohime.
>Your chest size is moderate, and so is Toyohime's.
>Honestly though, something like chest size should've been of no concern for military officials like you. Why were you thinking of it?
{^Parser notes: This never gets old, huh?}

>Retrieve arms from gods/divine spirits.
>Would we like some peaches too?

No need to. Your arms are still attached.
>You have nothing else to do right now, so why not?

Toyohime notices you eyeing the peaches.
"You want some too, Yori?" She asks as she passes you a peach.

"Aw, I thought these are the best batches this week..." Toyohime sulked at your response.
>You never understand why your older sister loved peaches so much since, on the Lunar Kingdom, they're what the Earthlings would say are "dirt cheap".

>Used to be no different than any normal couple. But ever since your failure to stop the Fairy Invasion from last year, the two of you have not been on good terms. In fact, you haven't seen him again ever since then.
>You thought that, if he is going to file any divorce, it would be sometime in the near future.

>Recall our new pet's name in relation to our old pet's one.

>Rei'sen is not your current pet's real name. In fact, neither you nor your sister knew what her original name was before you renamed her as such. Perhaps it is because of something you haven't quite figured out yourself that you named her so...

> What about our relationship with Lord Tsukuyomi?
> And Ringo and Seiran?
> Do we know any major events happening lately in the Kingdom?

>Lord Tsukuyomi is the ruling emperor of the Lunar Kingdom, which makes him your superior. You and your sister are but mere subordinates to Lord Tsukuyomi.

>Ringo and Seiran are two moon rabbits in the Eagle Ravi squadron. You've sent both of them as shock troops to "purify" Gensokyo for Lunarian relocation during the Fairy Invasion. But they, along with the rest of the Eagle Ravi squadron have not been seen ever since. You presumed that Ringo, Seiran and their entire squadron must've defected en masse to Gensokyo due to how poorly they thought they were treated by the Lunar Defense Force.

>The last major event, as far as you're concerned, is the Fairy Invasion from a year ago. It went so badly, and humiliated the Lunar Kingdom so much that the Lunarian government has outlawed any notion of discussing it in full details, and you don't intend to remember the humiliating events in it for the rest of your immortal life.
>Otherwise, nothing major has been happening in the Kingdom for a long time.

"I have been thinking, Yori..." Toyohime suddenly said to you. "Maybe we should pay Lady Yagokoro a visit? Thank her for indirectly saving the Lunar Kingdom last year?"

"Why not? We've paid her a visit several years ago." Toyohime addresses your concern. "It won't be much of a problem as long as we don't come in contact with any impurities."
>Toyohime does have a point. Despite Earth being filled with impurities, there are few places on its surface that are still relatively 'pure'. The manor that Kaguya and Lady Yagokoro currently resides in is located in one such place.

>Could we actually summon a god so we can talk to them?

>You can't. When you summon a god, you're only temporarily borrowing his/her powers from a technical point of view. The humanoid body they manifest upon being summoned is merely a projection that cannot be directly interacted with.
>You're not quite sure of this yourself, but apparently that shrine maiden from Gensokyo can talk to the Shinto gods this way. Again, you're not quite sure how she could do this, even though her summoning powers is very low compared with yours.

"Let's call this trip a 'purely diplomatic visit'" Toyohime answers with a wink.
>That actually wouldn't be too far-fetched as an explanation, because the previous visit the two of you paid to Lady Yagokoro is also officially written off as a 'trip of diplomatic intent'.

>You thought about that for a moment.
>You then remember that it probably wouldn't matter if she hears about your trip to the Earth. Ever since words of the Eagle Ravi squadron defecting en masse reached the Lunarian government's officials, Lord Tsukuyomi has declared that all moon rabbits serving in the LDF are not allowed to leave the Lunar Kingdom unless given authorization by LDF officers, and even then only for military sorties approved by Lord Tsukuyomi himself.
>Besides, Rei'sen and her squad mates won't be back from their patrol duty until five days later, two days after the trip has ended.

An hour later...

>You and Toyohime have arrived at the main gate of Eientei (it would be rude to just warp in there) without a hitch, thanks to your sister's portal powers.
>Much to yours and Toyohime's surprise, Lady Yagokoro is already at the front gate, waiting for you two. Kaguya and your former pet is not with her, though.
"It has been a long time, Watatsuki sisters..." Lady Yagokoro greeted the two of you politely.

>Eientei changed very little, if not at all, since the last time you and Toyohime came here. All the furnitures and hallways are still configured in the exact same way as before.
>The most notable difference this time would be the fact that Kaguya and your former pet are both absent at the moment, and so is that Earth rabbit whose pit traps have once claimed you as a victim. The last time you were here, they passed by you and your sister at least once for every few minutes. This time, you haven't seen any signs of them.

//Whoa man, that first one is quite a meta-ly sensitive topic, as it almost involves the discussion of power levels. Thankfully, I have a way to make it not a power level discussion.

>This question is pretty much a can of (space) worms. Toyohime has a Fan of Mass Purification that lets her purify...as in molecularly disintegrate anything she uses it on. But without the Fan, her portal power is the only thing that stopped her from being completely useless in combat.
>Even then, Toyohime is a technical pacifist. She doesn't like fighting anyone unless she has no other choice.

>Toyohime stopped there, "ummm..."-ing for about ten seconds straight.

>"This was supposed to be a surprise visit, so no." Toyohime answers, then finishes eating the peach in her hand.

>Just then, Lady Yagokoro came back to the living room, carrying a tray of tea with her.
>"I'm sorry for taking so long..." Lady Yagokoro apologizes as she sets the tray on the table.

>While turning the little girl's back, you immediately shoot out several magic bullet that would work as a flashbang toward the gun, or more accurately, toward the hand that is holding them, as speed. As the moment of explosion that would make the soldier drop out their gun, you instantly goes toward them and knock them out.

//Good enough yet?

//That's fine.

//Ignore the fact that I totally forgot about danmaku...

//Wow, you guys are totally straightforward when it comes to fighting superpowered swords(wo)men, mobs of fairies, Yuuka, Lunarians, eldritch abominations, gods, etc...Yet are completely stumped when it comes to fighting a couple of modern-day soldiers whom AFAIK are ordinary humans...

>With your speed and quick reflex, you quickly rush forward and turn the girl around.
>You then begin by shooting out several danmaku at the hands of the soldiers. These danmaku would then go off in a blinding flash that should blind the soldiers for a brief moment.
>The flash danmaku blinded them and caused them to drop their assault rifles. You took this chance to rush toward them and knock one of them out by clubbing him with the sheath of your sword.
>However, the other soldier recovered quickly enough to notice your approach. As you got close to him, he suddenly pulls out his handgun and fired a shot at your right hand, point-blank and at quick-draw speed.

//unfortunately, healing won't quite matter in this Quest...

>You had your right hand out in front, ready to club the soldier in his head with the sheath of your sword when you took that bullet.
>Strangely enough, the shot did not cause any physical injuries like any guns would. Instead, you only felt a sharp pain at the spot hit by the bullet, followed by paralysis all over your right hand.

>You inspect the shot that you just took on your right hand. There is no physical injury, yet the sharp pain and paralysis is right there. Its almost like the handgun fired a very powerful danmaku instead of a live round.

>You try to move your right hand. You could barely feel it, and the paralysis doesn't seem to be wearing off, and doesn't look like it will be anytime soon...
