[Tashi]

>"Huh ?"
>Look downwards, but keep our focus.

> You are floating. A bit, but it's something.
> "Congra-... Huh?" Keine it's looking behind you.
> "Whaaa...?" Arukas lean her head, confused too.

>"What's this ?"

[Neovereign]

>"A tongue...?"

[Tashi]

>"H-Huh ?"
>Look confused and examine the thing.
>"What's this ?"

>"A tongue...?"

> "You are surprised, huh?" Says a voice behind the purple thing.
> The purple thing backs off, being more noticeable that it's a umbrella. A girl is holding it.
> "C'mon, say it. You don't have to save it for yourself" She sticks out her tongue.
> Keine sighs. "Kogasa..."
> _

[Neovereign]

>"An umbrella? That's kinda cool... How'd you get it to have a tongue?"

[Monarda]

>"So who are you ? Is she a friend of yours Miss Keine ?"

[Tashi]

>"An umbrella? That's kinda cool... How'd you get it to have a tongue?"

> "So you are impressed!" The girl smiles.
> I don't think he is... Arukas thinks.
> "This umbrella is part of me! Because I'm a Karakasa obake!"

>"So who are you ? Is she a friend of yours Miss Keine ?"

> "Kogasa Tatara" The teacher replies. "She's always trying to scare people... She TRIES." Keine looks a bit away while saying the last.
> "I-I'm pretty confident that I can improve! I read that what scares the most is when you do not know what happens and everything is silent and then something appears out of nowhere to scare you!" She says.
> _

[Neovereign]

>"Scare people? I'm not scared, but that umbrella looks unique."
>Do we know what a Karakasa Obake is?

[Tashi]

>"Scare people? I'm not scared, but that umbrella looks unique."
>Do we know what a Karakasa Obake is?

> Suddenly, the smile of the girl fades away.
> "Y-You really aren't scared...?" Kogasa stutter.
> For what you have read, the Karakasa Obake it's an umbrella that it's now animate. The eye, mouth and tongue seems to be just like how you read. They are in the group of Tsukumogami.

[Monarda]

>"Yeah, sorry... i was surprised by the sudden umbrella behind me, but not scared no..."
>Look sad.

[Tashi]

>"Yeah, sorry... i was surprised by the sudden umbrella behind me, but not scared no..."
>Look sad.

> Kogasa looks down. A small black cloud appears above the umbrella, beginning to rain on her.
> Keine sighs again. "It's always like that..."
> _

[Monarda]

>"Hey cmon ! Don't be so down... i am sure we can help you get better !"

[Neovereign]

>"A cloud?"

[Tashi]

>"Hey cmon ! Don't be so down... i am sure we can help you get better !"

> She just backs away, giving you her back. The cloud still is raining.

>"A cloud?"

> "That appears when she's sad." Keine says.
> _

Daiko-kun:

>"Kiku-chan help me out on this please..."
>Swap into Kiku-chan's form.

Kiku-chan:

>"Daiko-kun is right Kogasa, you can do it ! You already have the surprise factor nailed."

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"Kiku-chan help me out on this please..."
>Swap into Kiku-chan's form.

Kiku-chan:

>"Daiko-kun is right Kogasa, you can do it ! You already have the surprise factor nailed."

> You swap wih Kiku.
> "... Uh?" Kogasa turn to see you "Who are you?"
> _

[Monarda]

>"I'm Daiko-kun's other self, Kiku, we are like soul siblings of sort."

[Tashi]

>"I'm Daiko-kun's other self, Kiku, we are like soul siblings of sort."

> "Oh, okay... And what do you mean with "factor nailed"? "Fine, you want maths? Bring it on!"
> _

[Monarda]

>"You know how to get up close without being noticed and surprise people as you did with Daiko-kun, but you wanna scare people right ?"

[Tashi]

>"You know how to get up close without being noticed and surprise people as you did with Daiko-kun, but you wanna scare people right ?"

> "Uhm... Yeah..." She replies.
> _

[Monarda]

>"Well then you have to set in a scary mood."
>Smile.
>"Say, what makes you get scared ?"

[Tashi]

>"Well then you have to set in a scary mood."
>Smile.
>"Say, what makes you get scared ?"

> "Uhm... Not scare anyone... because makes me sad... And... being alone... because... " Kogasa sobs a bit "B-Because It makes m-me sad to be a-alone... and..." She sobs more.
> "Uh-oh. C-Calm down Kogasa..." Keine approaches.
> _

[Monarda]

>Look surprised, then slowly approach and hug her.
>"There there... you aren't alone, and you won't, because if you think well you will remember that there are people that care for you, and they will always be in your heart."

[Tashi]

>Look surprised, then slowly approach and hug her.
>"There there... you aren't alone, and you won't, because if you think well you will remember that there are people that care for you, and they will always be in your heart."

> You hug her.
> "U-Uh...?" She asks.
> _

[Monarda]

>"You have friends right ? Then what is to be afraid ? If they are true friends you can always trust and rely on them to not abandon you."

[Tashi]

>"You have friends right ? Then what is to be afraid ? If they are true friends you can always trust and rely on them to not abandon you."

> Kogasa then looks towards Keine.
> "It's true. You aren't someone bad, and that's why everyone isn't going to abandon you." Keine smiles "The four... uh... practically the five of us are friends here."
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>How do we compare in appearance, height and such to the others ?
>"How about we become friends too ? If the teacher is your friend then you gotta be a nice person, so i am sure we will get along."
