Kiku:

>"You aren't, but tell me, are you the same person that you were down there ?"

Arisa:

>"Like what ?"

> "Yes..."
> "I think the question here is..." Meiling speaks, patting Orange and looking at her. "Orange."
> Orange looks at her 'big sister'.
> "Did you intended any kind of harm at any moment? As in, willingly?"
> "... ... ..."
> Orange seems to ponder Meiling's words...
> "... I don't know how to explain it... It was like... all that I cared about it was to fulfill their purpose..."

> Alice giggles. "You'll see."

[Monarda]

Kiku:

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Okay! Okay!"

> Kyouko giggles at your answers, while Mystia still looks confused.
> Soon, you arrive at where the Dragon Statue is.
> THEY ARE TAKING YOUR WO- Err... There is Kokoro, sitting on a bench. There's... a lot of young boys that are pretty much around her. They are just looking at her as if dazed due to how beautiful she is. She... is just looking ahead, with her pokerface.

[Monarda]

Kiku:

Daiko:

>"Morning Kokoro. Who are these?"

> You get closer and greet. The boys doesn't even pay you attention...

Daiko:

>"Wanna go do something?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Wanna go do something?"

> "What?" She asks.
> As soon as you say that, the boys snap out of their trance and some of them look nervous, other confident, while others look at you.
> "H-Hey Kokoro-chan, wouldn't you like to take a walk?" One of them offers.
> "Hm?" She looks at him.
> "Kokoro-chan! You don't want to eat something?" Other one gets in the way of the previous offer.
> "I am a bit hungry..." Kokoro considers.
> "K-Kokoro-chan! I know a really nice place to eat!" Other offers.
> "Really?"
> "Nah, I know one that is much better!" Other meddler speaks.
> "Hmm..." Kokoro starts considering.

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"You're becoming more popular because they want to spend time with you. Like how we do. Well, because you're pretty. You really got popular fast."

Daiko:

>"Hey, all of you stop crowding around Kokoro like that. Weren't you all afraid of her and wetting yourselves before?"

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"You're becoming more popular because they want to spend time with you. Like how we do. Well, because you're pretty. You really got popular fast."

Daiko:

>"Hey, all of you stop crowding around Kokoro like that. Weren't you all afraid of her and wetting yourselves before?"

> "I guess so..." V!Kokoro shrugs.

> "Eh?!" All of them look at you.
> Kyouko stiffles a laugh, while Mystia coughs a bit and looks aside, a small smile on her lips.
> "That's no longer true!" One of them says.
> "Yea! We noticed that Kokoro-chan is actually quite nice!"
> Kokoro blinks.
> "... Wait, what?" One of them that is a bit away look at those that had a word. "You wetted yourselves?!"
> "What?! No!"
> "You just agreed to what he said!"
> "I am nervous okay?! Don't judge me!"
> "Bunch of cowards..." Other sighs.
> Kyouko is trying really hard to stifle her laugh, while Mystia keeps coughing.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"She's always been nice and beautiful. You guys just only noticed recently. We're together anyways."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"She's always been nice and beautiful. You guys just only noticed recently. We're together anyways."

> Crashing down like a raging thunder from Heaven itself, your words strike deep into the group's hearts, gouging and killing their hopes. Ah, their kokoros~...
> And they make this clear with their most incredible expressions of amazement.
> One of them, however, who recovers his senses, looks at Kokoro. "H-Hah! Let's go and eat something Koko-"
> "It's true."
> "W-What is true?"
> "Together." Kokoro points to herself, then to you. "Also together." Points to herself and then to Mystia and Kyouko too.
> Their expressions become more incredible. Dear god! This was painful to them!
> Kyouko is literally tearing with this scene, still holding up her laugh.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Ah, Kokoro really amplified the scene with that...
>"Uh, Mysti, do you think we can get something to eat early? It's not night, but..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Ah, Kokoro really amplified the scene with that...
>"Uh, Mysti, do you think we can get something to eat early? It's not night, but..."

> She literally made their souls come out without the need of your ability...
> You speak to Mystia, and she coughs more harder before looking at you.
> "S-Sure..." She nods.
> "Oh." Kokoro stands up.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Nod nod. Try to keep from being so excited now that the whole group is together again.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Nod nod. Try to keep from being so excited now that the whole group is together again.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

[Monarda]

Kiku:

>"Oh, i gotta ask though... do you have any clue about Daiko's mom ?"

Nijisa:

>So ?

Niji and Co.:

>"Booooo...."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Mhm."

> The group makes their way back to Mystia's stand...
> ... while the group of boys are dead frozen, not moving a single bit. You honestly understand how they feel...

Kiku:

>"Oh, i gotta ask though... do you have any clue about Daiko's mom ?"

Nijisa:

>So ?

Niji and Co.:

>"Booooo...."

> "... Who?" Orange looks up to you.

> You are arriving at the shrine.

> Alice pats all of you. "Don't worry."
