>Do we drink ?
>"Um, you sure drinking sake is a good idea at this moment ? Just don't drink too much, or else we will probably have to carry you home."
>Look at Mystia.
>"So... what happened here ?"

[Tashi]

>Do we drink ?
>"Um, you sure drinking sake is a good idea at this moment ? Just don't drink too much, or else we will probably have to carry you home."

> You are not an avid drinker, but you can stand something.
> It seems Sakura ignores you and keeps drinking. After some seconds, she stops.
> "WOOOH!" She shouts. "That's nice!"
> "WOOOH!" The girl next to Mystia shouts too. "... Uh... Sorry again, ehehe..."

>Look at Mystia.
>"So... what happened here ?"

> "Kyouko and I were talking with Suika... When I made a comment about how I would want to carry my stand more easily, she shrinked it!" Mystia says, altered.

>"Right, um... how do we undo it?"

> "She has to do it!" Mystia points to Suika.
> "But this is not what ya wanted? You can carry it more easily!" Suika says with a smile.
> "But it's SMALL! I can't attend my stand if it's small! And even then, that's not what I meant!"
> "Then you only need to be small!" Suika raises her hand towards Mystia.
> "N-No, that's-...!"
> Mystia starts shrinking... until she's about a size were she can enter the stand.
> "Wow..." Kokoro expresses.
> _

[Neovereign]

>"Uh... that won't really be helpful for people that want food from the stand... And there's a lot that would"

[Tashi]

>"Uh... that won't really be helpful for people that want food from the stand... And there's a lot that would"

> "You think so?" Suika asks. "I can shrink them, if that's the case."
> "But the problem of how difficult will be for her to carry the stand persists." The other girl, which you believe it's called Kyouko, points out.
> "... Uh..." Suika thinks.
> "Hey!" Mystia flies to the height of your face, looking at you. "Tell her to return me to normal! Please!"
> She is so cute... It seems she is like a doll.
> _

[Neovereign]

>_{^{"You owe me then."}}
>Smile.
>"Can you please return her and her stand to normal Suika?"

[Tashi]

>_{^{"You owe me then."}}
>Smile.
>"Can you please return her and her stand to normal Suika?"

> "But heeey! You can still have clients!" Suika points out.
> "Huh? Whom?" Mystia asks.
> "Well... Me and... insects, that is!"
> "No waaay!" Mystia hugs your face.
> "Uh... Misty?" Kyouko asks.
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>Pet mini-Mystia.
>"But we are also her clients, what about us ? Just get the stand and her back to normal Miss Suika."

Kiku-chan:

>Poke Sakura with a scolding look.
>"You better not spend all of our money on buying sake Miss Ice Oni, or else we will find out if that horn melts or not."

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>Poke Sakura with a scolding look.
>"You better not spend all of our money on buying sake Miss Ice Oni, or else we will find out if that horn melts or not."

> "Then find me a Sake Bug and I will be eternally happy, hehe."

Daiko-kun:

>Pet mini-Mystia.
>"But we are also her clients, what about us ? Just-"

> "Okay, okay. I will get all of you small then! Hehe!"
> "Wait!" Kyouko tries to stop her, but Suika already raised her hand towards her, shrinking all of you until you are the same size of Mystia.
> "Well, dammit." Mystia says. She is now hugging you.
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"Stop this, we wanna be normal-sized again okay ? We don't wanna be small, and bring Mystia and her stand back too okay ?"
>Poke the drunk oni.

Kiku-chan:

>"Just don't get as drunk as her, besides excessive drinking is bad for your memory."

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"Just don't get as drunk as her, besides excessive drinking is bad for your memory."

> "Oh c'mooon! Drinking is one thing that the oni love! And I love it too!" Sakura pouts.

Daiko-kun:

>"Stop this, we wanna be normal-sized again okay ? We don't wanna be small, and bring Mystia and her stand back too okay ?"
>Poke the drunk oni.

> You fly up to Suika's left cheek and poke her. Mystia's still hugging you, almost like she doesn't notice this...
> "Hmm... But lil' insects want to eat ya lampreys, too!" Suika says.
> "No, they don't!"
> "How so?"
> "B-Because... ... J-Just return us to normal!"
> "Aaalright..." All of you start to grow back to normal.
> Because being so near to Suika, when you and Mystia grow up, you end up being above Suika in the snow. Suika laughs.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"I'm not saying for you to stop, just don't burn all our funds on it or do it excessively."
>Look around and whisper.
>"Besides you will give Daiko-kun an excuse to buy a lot more books."

Daiko-kun:

>"Sorry."
>Get off her.
>"Um... Mystia, you can let go now..."

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"I'm not saying for you to stop, just don't burn all our funds on it or do it excessively."
>Look around and whisper.
>"Besides you will give Daiko-kun an excuse to buy a lot more books."

> "Oh, you are right hehe."

Daiko-kun:

>"Sorry."
>Get off her.
>"Um... Mystia, you can let go now..."

> You get up.
> "E-Eh? ... ...! A-Ah! S-S-Sorry!" She separates.
< _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"No worries, say... oni are physically strong, so why don't you have Miss Suika use her strength to help you take the stand ?"

Kiku-chan:

>"Hey... what became of your mother and father grandma Sakura ?"

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"Hey... what became of your mother and father grandma Sakura ?"

> "They aren't here anymore." She replies.

Daiko-kun:

>"No worries, say... oni are physically strong, so why don't you have Miss Suika use her strength to help you take the stand ?"

> "Well, I can't do that ALL the time..." Suika comments.
> "Yeah, that doesn't sound so practical..." Mystia adds.
> "But neat." Kyouko says.
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"Hmm... why not ask something to the kappa later then ? They might have an idea to make it easier for you."

Kiku-chan:

>"Where they good parents for you ?"

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"Hmm... why not ask something to the kappa later then ? They might have an idea to make it easier for you."

> "The kappa?" Mystia leans her head to the side.
> "Yeah! They might make you a... flying stand! Or maybe they can upgrade your stand and then it can have a jet! Fwoosh! You'll travel the skies with a stand of lampreys!" Suika beams.
> "... I-I highly doubt that..."

Kiku-chan:

>"Where they good parents for you ?"

> "They were." Sakura nods.
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"Ehm... i think just putting something to make it easier to move or making it lighter bybsome means is better."
>Shrug and look towards Kokoro-chan, then head besides her.

Kiku-chan:

>"I see..."
>Smile.
>"You know... i think you should find someone to be with... yeah ! I should look for a match for you !"

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"I see..."
>Smile.
>"You know... i think you should find someone to be with... yeah ! I should look for a match for you !"

> "Hehe, so tru-..." The ice oni blinks a few times. "... What did you say? A match? For me?!"

Daiko-kun:

>"Ehm... i think just putting something to make it easier to move or making it lighter bybsome means is better."
>Shrug and look towards Kokoro-chan, then head besides her.

> You approach to Kokoro.
> "T-That aside..." Mystia sighs. "How you guys are doing? How it was your talk with the mistress of the mansion, Daiko?"
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"Uh huh."
>Nod.
>"Like how Kokoro-chan and Daiko-kun are becoming one, it would be great to see you find someone to love too."

Daiko-kun:

>"Very interesting, she is rather... unique, i could sense a lot of pride on her, sadly that pride seems a bit fragile... but overall all of the residents seem nice, especially that Koa devil girl."

Bastet:

>Approach Miss Suika.
>"Hey Miss, could you please pet me ?"

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"Uh huh."
>Nod.
>"Like how Kokoro-chan and Daiko-kun are becoming one, it would be great to see you find someone to love too."

> "... There has been... what?" Sakura thinks, looking to the side. "Decades? hundreds of years since I was with someone? Hmm... I think that's so..." She looks at you. "Do you want to be a matcher or something like that?"

Daiko-kun:

>"Very interesting, she is rather... unique, i could sense a lot of pride on her, sadly that pride seems a bit fragile... but overall all of the residents seem nice, especially that Koa devil girl."

> "S-Seriously? Nothing bad happened to you, right?"
> "Aren't you worrying a bit too much? Take it easy!" Kyouko smiles.
> "I-I'm just asking..."
> "By the way! I'm Kyouko Kasodani!"

Bastet:

>Approach Miss Suika.
>"Hey Miss, could you please pet me ?"

> "No prob'!" She pets you. "Oooh... So fluffy~"
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"Well not really, think of this as a hobby, besides if Daiko-kun was able to find someone in two days of him finally coming out of that room, they aren't you like REALLLLLY far behind him on that department ?"

Daiko-kun:

>"The name is Daikoku Susumu, but everyone just calls me Daiko or Daiko-kun."
>Look to Kokoro-chan.
>"And this is Kokoro-chan."

Bastet:

>Purr a bit and lean towards the drunk oni.

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"Well not really, think of this as a hobby, besides if Daiko-kun was able to find someone in two days of him finally coming out of that room, they aren't you like REALLLLLY far behind him on that department ?"

> "W-Well, there has been so long since I cared about starting a relationship with someone... so it's fairly normal. Daiko it's just "starting" to see the world." She replies.

Daiko-kun:

>"The name is Daikoku Susumu, but everyone just calls me Daiko or Daiko-kun."
>Look to Kokoro-chan.
>"And this is Kokoro-chan."

> "Hai..." Kokoro waves.
> "Hai!" Kyouko waves back. "Any place where all of you are going? It's not so common to see a... uh... menreiki, a human, two cats, a fairy, and a oni together..."

Bastet:

>Purr a bit and lean towards the drunk oni.

> You lean a bit towards Suika. She giggles, still petting you.
> "Hey..." She shows you her gourd. "... Want some?"
> _

[Monarda]

Bastet:

>"Nyo~ ? What is that ?"
>Look curious.

Kiku-chan:

>"Well you didn't consider that when you bragged about knowing stuff from the outside."

Daiko-kun:

>Sigh.
>"I'm not a human... i'm a half-youkai..."

Niji-chan:

>Float behind Daiko-kun shyfully.

[Tashi]

Bastet:

>"Nyo~ ? What is that ?"
>Look curious.

> "Hehe! It's sake!" Suika smiles brightly.

//Why the hell an image of Suika being a drug dealer appeared in my mind?

Kiku-chan:

>"Well you didn't consider that when you bragged about knowing stuff from the outside."

> "I know about the outside world... but I don't know how different will be right now... A-Anyway." Sakura shakes her head. "A hobby, you say?"

Daiko-kun:

>Sigh.
>"I'm not a human... i'm a half-youkai..."

> "Well, don't expect me to know that at first glance." Kyouko replies. "I'm a yamabiko."

Niji-chan:

>Float behind Daiko-kun shyfully.

> You hover until you are behind Daikoku.
> "...? What's wrong?" Mystia asks.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Um... i'm kinda shy..."

Bastet:

>"Um... just a bit ?"
>Take just a sip.

Kiku-chan:

>"Yep, and my first client will be you !"

Daiko-kun:

>What is an yamabiko ?
>"I see, well it's not really noticeable unlike Sakura, i'm a hybrid between a human and a yuki-onna."

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"Um... i'm kinda shy..."

> "Huh, but it's alright! Don't be shy!" Mystia giggles.

Bastet:

>"Um... just a bit ?"
>Take just a sip.

> You sip a bit of the gourd. It tastes bad...

Kiku-chan:

>"Yep, and my first client will be you !"

> "C-Client? That's how you will call people you help?" Sakura scratches her head.

Daiko-kun:

>What is an yamabiko ?
>"I see, well it's not really noticeable unlike Sakura, i'm a hybrid between a human and a yuki-onna."

> A Yamabiko it's a youkai that likes to do the "echo" of something. If you shout to a Yamabiko in a mountain, he will shout back, mimicking your voice, giving the impression of an echo. Nothing best than books for source of information~.
> Huh... WIll Kyouko answer with the same shout if you shout at her?
> "Oh, I see." Kyouko wags her tail. "So, where are you going?"
> _

[Neovereign]

>Bastet: "Nyahh..." Stick out our tongue. "I don like this much..."
>Daiko:"Uh, we're sorta going a few different ways soon, I think. Oh, hey Mystia. Before we leave, can we have something to eat?"

[Tashi]

>Bastet: "Nyahh..." Stick out our tongue. "I don like this much..."

> "But it's goood." Suika drinks of it. "You just need to get used to it."

>Daiko:"Uh, we're sorta going a few different ways soon, I think. Oh, hey Mystia. Before we leave, can we have something to eat?"

> "Huh? Of course! It's going to be night time soon, so I'm going to start and prepare everything!"
> "Want me to help with something, Misty?" Kyouko smiles expectantly.
> "Put the tables and the chairs, please!" Mystia enters the stand.
> "Aye!" Kyouko follow her.
> _

[Monarda]

Bastet:

>"It's bitter... do all onis like this ?"

Daiko-kun:

>Turn to Bastet.
>"It's a matter of taste, i like having some when i have a good day, but onis are just massive drinkers compared to us."

Kiku-chan:

>"Hm... i dunno, have any better ideas ?"

[Tashi]

Bastet:

>"It's bitter... do all onis like this ?"

Daiko-kun:

>Turn to Bastet.
>"It's a matter of taste, i like having some when i have a good day, but onis are just massive drinkers compared to us."

> "That's right!" Sakura and Suika show a thumbs up.

Kiku-chan:

>"Hm... i dunno, have any better ideas ?"

> "... Matched ones...? Err... Clients sounds nice..."
