Sakuya Quest 5 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Kilgamayan]

This is why I suggested people read the first game. >_>

> What was the thing Reisen stole from Hakugyokurou for the Mistress, again?

[Hello Purvis]

>Are we aware of what yuyuko thought of the odeal?

>Not in particular.

> What was the thing Reisen stole from Hakugyokurou for the Mistress, again?

>It was a print by Katsushika Hokusai, a renowned artist from the outside world.

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown.
> "Are you saying you permitted that painting to come into our possession?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Frown.
> "Are you saying you permitted that painting to come into our possession?"

>"Did I not allow you to keep it without a word of complaint?" says Yuyuko.

[Kilgamayan]

> "I was not aware you even knew it happened."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I was not aware you even knew it happened."

>She waves a hand and smiles. "I would be very poor at my duties if I didn't, wouldn't you agree?"

[the old guy]

...so allowing a sword to be and remain stolen was to be the apology. Hmmm. Vague, but appropriate for Yuyuko...

I think your mistaken, yuyuko was actually talking about how Reisen give the SDM a painting from yuyuko's mansion, she was hired to steal it, but she actually asked yuyuko for it in exchange for giving poor youmu her sword back.
I was mistaken and thought Yuyuko was saying to Sakuya that apology for what happened with the assassination was impossible, because of the sword thing and the stolen painting. But it seems yuyuko is actually crypticly telling us that reisen lied to us about stealing the painting.
Hopfully you didn't already know that.

[the old guy]

>"So did you just allowed reisen to take it? Odd strategy."

[Hello Purvis]

>"So did you just allowed reisen to take it? Odd strategy."

>"Whyever would you think Reisen was behind it?" says Yuyuko, frowning.

>_

[the old guy]

>"Are you saying she didn't steal it like she said?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Are you saying she didn't steal it like she said?"

>"If I had known that, I do believe she would have been in for quite some trouble from us, wouldn't you agree?" says Yuyuko. "We were quite busy then!"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "...Then what did you think happened to it?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "...Then what did you think happened to it?"

>"Why, it was taken, of course!" says Yuyuko. "But why you would have expected me to blame Reisen for it, I'm quite at a loss. Is this how you usually handle these kind of things?"

[Monarda]

//Kilga halp pls.

>Who had the idea to hire Reisen ?

[Hello Purvis]

>Who had the idea to hire Reisen ?

>Remilia did so.

>_

[the old guy]

>"But we hired Reisen to steal it for us...and yet your saying that it was your fault it was taken...are you saying that you just gave it to her? That's the only conclusion I can come up with here."

[Kilgamayan]

>"But we hired Reisen to steal it for us...and yet your saying that it was your fault it was taken...are you saying that you just gave it to her? That's the only conclusion I can come up with here."

> Don't say this.

Regardless of how much time has passed, confessing to asking her to steal for us isn't a good idea.

> "Well, she gave it to us."

[Hello Purvis]

>"But we hired Reisen to steal it for us...and yet your saying that it was your fault it was taken...are you saying that you just gave it to her? That's the only conclusion I can come up with here."

> Don't say this.
> "Well, she gave it to us."

>You consider letting the cat out of the bag, then decide to err on the side of wisdom.
>"So I imagine now," says Yuyuko. "But I certainly didn't know until now. Mystery solved, I suppose! Poor Youmu was very upset."

>_

[the old guy]

>"Huh? I thought you were talking about the painting? I don't remember Reisen giving us the sword...unless you saying Youmu was upset about the painting, which would make sense, considering her personality.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Huh? I thought you were talking about the painting? I don't remember Reisen giving us the sword...unless you saying Youmu was upset about the painting, which would make sense, considering her personality.

>"Of course she was upset, it was a precious treasure," says Yuyuko. "She felt so bad for failing to guard it!"

>_

[the old guy]

>Resist urge to say "Typical"
>"Well, she WAS very earnest about her job."

[Hello Purvis]

>Resist urge to say "Typical"
>"Well, she WAS very earnest about her job."

>"Indeed, it shouldn't be a surprise, I would imagine," says Yuyuko, as she has a sip of her tea.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Though now I am curious. What did you mean when you asked if you were 'too subtle'?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Though now I am curious. What did you mean when you asked if you were 'too subtle'?"

>"Why, did I cause even the slightest stir when our missing print ended up in your collection?" says Yuyuko.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "How would you have known it wound up there?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "How would you have known it wound up there?"

>"Your mistress was hardly subtle about it," says Yuyuko, chuckling.

>_

[Monarda]

>Oh Mistress... i guess we should have known.

[Hello Purvis]

>Oh Mistress... i guess we should have known.

>She did display it prominently. It still has a place of honor in the gallery.

[Serela]

Yuyuko isn't to be underestimated!

...I'd have Sakuya say something, but, honestly, coming here was Kilga's thing and I don't really have any ideas on where to take the conversation. I wouldn't say the conversation went well enough to reasonably bring up hunting for old or historical items right now. tl;dr is that Yuyuko letting the print end up in our possession uncontested was her form of apology, which was a rather fitting "gesture" for both involved parties (allowing Remilia to revel victoriously), even if it may not exactly equal out an assassination attempt (not that many things are grandiose enough for that in the first place)

[Monarda]

//I feel the same way, Kilga is the one with all the right tools, but he is taking a break it seems.

>"She never is regarding pieces of art, especially ones like that, i guess i should have thought as much."
