Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 9

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"I can't seem to do anything like that... We're almost back, by the way."

> "I am at the temple's entrance with Byakuku and Kyo." V!Kokoro thinks for a moment. "... Now that I'm thinkin about it... I think I'm freezing."

Bastet-chan:

>Look around worriedly and start examining ourselves again.
>Try again to grant Doremy's Wish of understanding what happened.

> You look around. Yes, you are at the couch were you fell asleep.
> You examine yourself... everything seems normal, except for the new hair color in some tufts of your hair... You feel different inside too, in fact.
> You try to grant said wish...
> ... It feels like something... that can't be achieved with a wish... Or at least, not with how currently weak you are at it.

> (Golden) You start to wake up... That was a looong nap there...

Niji-chan:

>Nod.

> "... Hm?" Marisa looks up. "Oh, the cat girl and... Koakuma are coming." The witch points at them.
> "H-Huh?" Daiyousei looks up too.

Tsuru:

>"Oh, i guess everyone here is unique then."

> "Also, it seems that I can only drink vampire blood to be okay..." Charlotte adds.
> "... And mine..." Chloe adds too.
> "Other kind of blood makes me feel... ill..."

Niji Red:

>Nod.

> Both of you reach a large area where some groups of kappa are working in... weird things...
> "It's incredible... Really, really incredible..." Rifa mumbles. "I wonder if we could do something like this, but with science..."

V!Daiko:

>"Please wear something proper for the temperature Kokoro. I don't want you to freeze to death again."

Bastet:

>Does it feel similar to whe new were inside of Daiko?

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>"...hello ? Are you here ? Can you hear me ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Huh ?"
>Look over.

Kiku-chan:

>"There she is !"

Niji Red:

>"It would need an true mastery of science to make one similar..."

Tsuru:

>"Why not try mine ?"

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"Please wear something proper for the temperature Kokoro. I don't want you to freeze to death again."

Bastet:

>Does it feel similar to whe new were inside of Daiko?

> " 's fine." She says. "I can endure some top percent storm troops of ice."
> You arrive with the others.
> "Anything new?" Asks Reimu.
> "Maybe..." Sakura looks at you.

> No, it doesn't feel like that... It's more like... a renewed feeling.

Bastet-chan:

>"...hello ? Are you here ? Can you hear me ?"

> No one answers.

Niji-chan:

>"Huh ?"
>Look over.

Kiku-chan:

>"There she is !"

> Koakuma gulps. "O-Okay..."

> "Why are they coming here?" Asks Marisa.
> "Maybe... they know something new?" Alice suggests.
> Daiyousei fidgets a bit.
> "Hm? You are acting weird lately, Dai... You sure everything 's fine?" Cirno asks.
> "Y-Yeah..."

Niji Red:

>"It would need an true mastery of science to make one similar..."

> "Don't underestimate us!" She winks at you. "We can do amazing things! And this isn't going to be the exception!"

Tsuru:

>"Why not try mine ?"

> "You sure?" Charlotte glances at you.
> _

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>Nod.
>"Just don't drink it all, hehe."

Bastet-chan:

>"...what did she do... ?"
>Head outside.

Kiku-chan:

>"Hey relax, i am here with you, it should be okay..."

Niji Red:

>"Well it will take very long though... plus this bracelet only works with me, it was especially designed for me, it even has an engraving on it."

Niji-chan:

>"Huh ?"

[Neovereign]

Golden:

>Yawn.

Daiko:

>"It seems like those two were missing before the rest were taken..."

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>Nod.
>"Just don't drink it all, hehe."

> Charlotte and Chloe stop. Charlotte gets closer to you.
> "U-Uhm... You sure...?" She asks again.

Bastet-chan:

>"...what did she do... ?"
>Head outside.

> You go upstairs.

Golden:

>Yawn.

> You let out a long yawn. While your eyes are mildly closed, you can see Bastet coming upstairs. Her hair... changed a bit...

Kiku-chan:

>"Hey relax, i am here with you, it should be okay..."

Niji-chan:

>"Huh ?"

> "I-I hope..." Koa lands.
> "Yo!" Marisa greets. "Something new on your side, cat gurl?"
> "... Cat "gurl"..." Sanae repeats while a sweat drop lows her temple.

Niji Red:

>"Well it will take very long though... plus this bracelet only works with me, it was especially designed for me, it even has an engraving on it."

> "But the important things is that it works!" Rifa jingles her arms in a childlish way. "Nothing can beat science!"
> Other kappas around agree.

Daiko:

>"It seems like those two were missing before the rest were taken..."

> "How? Nobody saw them?" Keine asks.
> Orino seems to be waiting for you impaciently.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Red:

>"Well... there are some things that science just can't do however..."

Bastet-chan:

>Look around.

Tsuru:

>Nod.

Kiku-chan:

>"No, not really... we came here for an different reason..."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Not that. The people who caused the incident have said that there was a room with children already missing when they started... Tsuru's still back there as well, and is still searching in case."

[Tashi]

Niji Red:

>"Well... there are some things that science just can't do however..."

> "That ain't true!" She pouts, but later looks down. "No, you are right..."

Bastet-chan:

>Look around.

> You continue and go outside...
> ... Not even a soul is around in the village. You can see, however, that everyone, along with the kids, are at the outskirts.

Tsuru:

>Nod.

> "O-Okay... Your hand, then...?"

Kiku-chan:

>"No, not really... we came here for an different reason..."

> "What reason?" Cirno asks.
> "W-W-Well..." Koakuma glances at Dai some times.
> "U-Uh..." The fairy fidgets a bit.

Daiko:

>"Not that. The people who caused the incident have said that there was a room with children already missing when they started... Tsuru's still back there as well, and is still searching in case."

> "... So... someone else kidnapped them...?" Keine thinks.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Red:

>Nod.
>"Everything has it's limits, science has an immense potential, but magic can still do things that science can't, and science can do things that magic can't, and there are things that neither of those can do."

Bastet-chan:

>Head there.

Tsuru:

>Offer her our arm.

Kiku-chan:

>Smile.
>"Go ahead Koa, you can do it."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Maybe."

[Tashi]

Niji Red:

>Nod.
>"Everything has it's limits, science has an immense potential, but magic can still do things that science can't, and science can do things that magic can't, and there are things that neither of those can do."

> "I hate to say it, but that's true..." She pouts at you. "And what are those things that none of them can do?"

Bastet-chan:

>Head there.

> You start going there.

Tsuru:

>Offer her our arm.

> You raise your arm towards Charlotte, and she gently takes your hand.
> "S-Sorry if it hurts..." She shows her fangs and bites you.

Kiku-chan:

>Smile.
>"Go ahead Koa, you can do it."

> "I-I would like more help, y-y-you know..." She whispers.

Daiko:

>"Maybe."

> "Hm..."
> "Are you here yet?" V!Kokoro asks.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Yes. I'm at the village."

[Monarda]

Niji Red:

>"To understand a person."

Tsuru:

>"Hehe..."

Kiku-chan:

>Whisper back. "I can admit it for you..."
>Gently hold Koa's hand, then lead her to Daiyousei.
>"Daiyousei, Koa here has something to say to you."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"Yes. I'm at the village."

> "Can you come already? Byakuku wants to see you as well... Oh, and Mimiko's here too..."

Niji Red:

>"To understand a person."

> "Oh..." She sage nods. "True, true..."
> Other kappas sage nod as well.

Tsuru:

>"Hehe..."

> You can feel and see how she starts to suck your blood. It hurts a bit...
> Chloe is watching.
> Charlotte suddenly takes distance and spits out the blood she sucked and coughs.
> "N-No... I-It tastes bad..." She says between coughs.

Kiku-chan:

>Whisper back. "I can admit it for you..."
>Gently hold Koa's hand, then lead her to Daiyousei.
>"Daiyousei, Koa here has something to say to you."

> You gently hold Koakuma's hand and you lead her to Daiyousei.
> "W-What?" She jumps a bit. "And w-why me?"
> "U-Uhm..."

> (Bastet) As you approach you can see something approaching at a medium speed to where Kiku, Koakuma and Daiyousei are... You... don't know what that is...

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>"Hey ! Daiko ! Something is coming !"
>Point to it and head to investigate.

Tsuru:

>"Huh... i wonder if youkai blood would work."

[Tashi]

Bastet-chan:

>"Hey ! Daiko ! Something is coming !"
>Point to it and head to investigate.

> You point to it, before starting to fly to investigate.

> ... Bastet pointed something for you to see... but there's nothing.

Tsuru:

>"Huh... i wonder if youkai blood would work."

> "Youkai blood?" She asks.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"I... don't know what you're seeing, but I have to do something right now..."
>Head towards the temple, where Kokoro is.

V!Daiko:

>"Coming."

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>What is it ?

Tsuru:

>"Or maybe you are some sort of special vampire species that hunts other vampires."

Niji Red:

>"Indeed..."

Kiku-chan:

>"Relax... then say it."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"I... don't know what you're seeing, but I have to do something right now..."
>Head towards the temple, where Kokoro is.

V!Daiko:

>"Coming."

> You start heading to the Myoren Temple...

> " 'kay."

> "... Wait!" Kira suddenly commands.

Bastet-chan:

>What is it ?

> It seems like... an evil spirit...?

Tsuru:

>"Or maybe you are some sort of special vampire species that hunts other vampires."

> "..." Charlotte fidgets uncomfortably while wiping her mouth. "Uh..."

Niji Red:

>"Indeed..."

> "So?" She looks at you. "What else you can do?"

Kiku-chan:

>"Relax... then say it."

> "... D-Daiyousei... Uhm... T-There was something I wanted to say... to you..." Koakuma speaks, blushing slightly.
> "U-Uh?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Stop.
>"What is it Kira?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Stop.
>"What is it Kira?"

> "An spirit, dammit! It's going to possess one of your friends!"

> (Bastet) The spirit suddenly goes inside Daiyousei's body...
> _

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>"Daiko ! Daiyousei got possessed by an evil spirit !"

Kiku-chan:

>!
>Quickly land an blow on Daiyousei's head to make her fall unconscious !

Niji-chan:

>Catch Daiyousei if we can !

Niji Red:

>"Uh... i can become light myself too."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Crap crap crap! Who!?"

V!Daiko:

>"Hold on."

[Tashi]

Bastet-chan:

>"Daiko ! Daiyousei got possessed by an evil spirit !"

Kiku-chan:

>!
>Quickly land an blow on Daiyousei's head to make her fall unconscious !

> "Huh?" Cirno and Koakuma look at Bastet.
> Daiyousei blinks. "Wha-"
> You hit Dai's head with a punch strong enough to make her fell unconscious.

Niji-chan:

>Catch Daiyousei if we can !

> You are able to catch Daiyousei in time.

Daiko:

>"Crap crap crap! Who!?"

V!Daiko:

>"Hold on."

> "Who the hell do you think I am?! Kira Motherfucking God Almighty?! I see through your eyes, not in the inexistent ones that you have in the back of your head! Go back so I can tell you, idiot!

Niji Red:

>"Uh... i can become light myself too."

> "Yeah, you showed that before..."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Quickly fly back and towards where Bastet is.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Quickly fly back and towards where Bastet is.

> You quickly return and you go to where Bastet is.
> You can see how Niji is holding Daiyousei with one hand, while the other is holding her doll.
> "I guess isn't necessary to tell you whom..."

> "W-Why you did that, Kiku?!" Koakuma approaches worriedly.
> "Dai!" Cirno shakes her. "Dai!!"
> She doesn't answer. That was one hell of a hit.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Daiyousei! Where's that spirit!? Did it get to her already?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Daiyousei! Where's that spirit!? Did it get to her already?"

> "Can't you see she's unconscious?! Why other reason would be?!"

> "Daiyousei!" Koa shakes her. No answer. "H-Hey! Wake up already, p-please!
> ... Dai moves her hand fingers a bit.
