Greater Centenary Festival - Heavenly Cross/VII

[meow56]

Niji:
>"Interesting..."

Nijisa:
>"Eh, it's not that big a deal..."

Bastet:
>Maybe not. But you should come over anyways.
>Welp, that's not our target.
>Keep an eye out.

[Tashi]

Niji:
>"Interesting..."

Nijisa:
>"Eh, it's not that big a deal..."

Bastet:
>Maybe not. But you should come over anyways.
>Welp, that's not our target.
>Keep an eye out.

> "It might sound interesting, but outrageous in the end."
> "What's the problem? It will be more easy to be here like that." Sunny pointed out.
> "Maybe, but just how much scandal will it cause that another world merged with Gensokyo?"
---
> "She is putting you under some annoying tasks, and to top it all, she hurt herself. Still, sorry for her clumsiness."
> Arriving to the sink, Alice maneuvers a bit to start filling the bucket with water.
> "It's hard to get use to how she is..." She said with a sigh, resting her hands on the table.
---
> You keep an eye out...
> The creature walks to you.
> "Fooou..."
> "What is it?" A fidgeting Oniru comes from the corridor.
> _

[meow56]

Niji:
>"True..."

Nijisa:
>Is there somewhere else to fill up our bucket?
>"Mmm..."

Bastet:
>"An extra pair of eyes is always helpful..."
>Pick up Fou.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:
> Keep on.

Daiyousei:
> "Uh, we don't know what he can do..."

[Tashi]

Niji:
>"True..."

Nijisa:
>Is there somewhere else to fill up our bucket?
>"Mmm..."

Bastet:
>"An extra pair of eyes is always helpful..."
>Pick up Fou.

> "Do you understand? How big of a change this WILL be?"
> "... Do you want that to happen, Elfin?" Luna looked curiously at her.
> "... I don't... want this world to just be forgotten and disappear." Elfin sighs.
> "Is that a yes?"
> "I am not sure myself..."

---

> Doesn't seem to be.
> "... In the end, what do you plan to do with her in the long run?"

--

> You pick the creature between your arms.
> Aaah~
> It's a really comfortable fur~
> "Fooou..."
> "... Curious..." Oniru said.

Daiko:
> Keep on.

Daiyousei:
> "Uh, we don't know what he can do..."

> You have arrived to the entrance of the village.
> Aya is closer.
> "Let's just go for it." She said as soon as she arrives. "I feel like I am going to die with how nervous I am."
---
> "Doesn't matter! We will defeat him before he does anything."
> "Oh really? Just so you know... This is not a match with rules. In other words, danmaku or not, it's a fight."
> Christine calmly sits on the snow, watching.
> "Therefore, don't blame me if you both end up dead or something."
> _

[meow56]

Niji:
>"...Well, I hope that if it does happen, people will take it well."

Nijisa:
>Shrug.
>"Whatever she wants to do, I guess."

Bastet:
>Peeeet!

[Neovereign]

Daiko:
> "Y-Yea..."

Daiyousei:
> "How do we know when to stop? When enough is enough? What's the point?"

[Tashi]

Niji:
>"...Well, I hope that if it does happen, people will take it well."

Nijisa:
>Shrug.
>"Whatever she wants to do, I guess."

Bastet:
>Peeeet!

> "It can't be as simple, Niji."
> "Why not, though?" Luna asked. "Maybe we are just overthinking this."
> "You... girls don't realize it..."

---

> "Just like that?"

---

> You keep petting.
> "Fooou..."
> "So... does this prove they aren't here? Or maybe they didn't came out..."

Daiko:
> "Y-Yea..."

Daiyousei:
> "How do we know when to stop? When enough is enough? What's the point?"

> "What is it?" One of the accompanying Tengus asked.
> "You will see. Let's just go."
> Aya and the other two confused Tengu go for the village...
> _

[meow56]

Niji:
>"Why not?"

Nijisa:
>Shrug.
>"I guess."

Bastet:
>"Or they're just deeper inside than we think..."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:
> Keep on.

Daiyousei:
>Repeat.

[Tashi]

Niji:
>"Why not?"

Nijisa:
>Shrug.
>"I guess."

Bastet:
>"Or they're just deeper inside than we think..."

> "At the very least, I want all of you to not put it off as a small thing."

---

> "So... will you dedicate to be some sort of young sister for her?"

---

> "... Oh, this house might go deeper, yes..."

Daiko:
> Keep on.

Daiyousei:
>Repeat.

> You follow Aya.
> To the center of you village you go...

---

> "It's you, of course."
> "Eh?" Cirno blinks.
> "Even if this is a fight, that doesn't change the fact I am training you. Make some notable progress and we will be done."
> _

[meow56]

Niji:
>"Alright."

Nijisa:
>"I guess."

Bastet:
>"Then shall we go deeper?"

[Neovereign]

Daiyousei:
> "I-I guess..."
> Gulp.

[Tashi]

Niji:
>"Alright."

Nijisa:
>"I guess."

Bastet:
>"Then shall we go deeper?"

> "Thank you..."
> Marry wipes her eyes.

---

> "Make sure to not just be that."

---

> "Yes. DEEP." Oniru winks.
> She nods.

Daiyousei:
> "I-I guess..."
> Gulp.

> "I hope you are aware of what you should work on to fix. After all, it's the reason how I noticed about you."
> Kira creaks his knuckles. H-He must go easy on you! You are just starting!
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiyousei:
> "Not in the house right? You won't break my house further, will you?"

[Tashi]

Daiyousei:
> "Not in the house right? You won't break my house further, will you?"

> "A house can be fixed with enough time. This, however, is not about a house. If you forgot about it, then I have bad news for you both."
> "What is he even talking about, Dai?" Cirno questions.

---

> Daiko sees Keine approaching.
> And upon doing so, some people follow her with their looks, which eventually led them to notice Aya...
> _

[meow56]

Niji:
>...
>"Marry, you gonna be alright?"

Nijisa:
>"I guess I can try."

Bastet:
>( ͡? ͜ʖ ͡?)
>Start making our way towards the lower levels.

[Neovereign]

Daiyousei:
> "I understand, but I hardly have any tricks of my own to use, nor raw firepower."

Aya~V!Daiko:
>"Start. Don't give them time to think their personal thoughts about you. And don't show yourself off a lot either."

[Tashi]

Niji:
>...
>"Marry, you gonna be alright?"

Nijisa:
>"I guess I can try."

Bastet:
>( ͡? ͜ʖ ͡?)
>Start making our way towards the lower levels.

> "I am." She said after a second of clearing her throat.
> Star looks away, a bit ashamed.

---

> "Don't just try. Do it. I don't want Arisa to be trying to be... me, basically, or just shackled with me."

---

> You start to walk to the deepest part of the hallways. Maybe some stairs or more rooms...
> Oniru follows next to you, gazing at the creature on your arms.

Daiyousei:
> "I understand, but I hardly have any tricks of my own to use, nor raw firepower."

Aya~V!Daiko:
>"Start. Don't give them time to think their personal thoughts about you. And don't show yourself off a lot either."

> "That alone told me you don't understand." Kira frowns displeased. "Have you forgot you have a big trick you didn't even knew about before?"

---

> "N-Nnh..."
> "B-Before anyone says anything!" Aya suddenly speaks.
> Everyone is silent, gazing at her.
> "L-Look, I have done bad. I know I have." She starts. "But... uh, okay, it was intentional..."
> Aya scratches her hat.
> "A-And I didn't mind the possible consequences, right..."
> This might go wrong...
> "But I am very sorry, okay?!"
> That was... a lot of honesty...

---

> Kiku, after walking around on how to approach at Remilia and pondering about the issue she wanted to address her for, apparently made her lose the chance of even talking to the vampire due too not noticing. It's just now she snapped out of thoughts, realizing Remilia left her room a while ago already...

---

> "Will you please react?!" Clownpiece harshly pulls Niji Blue.

---

> "... Yuuda..."
> Yuudachi is watching some figures at the distance, two of them being Cirno and Daiyousei, you think, and someone... you don't know much about? Err...
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiyousei:
> "I mean ones I'm used to. You're used to yours, Cirno's used to ice, things like that."

Daiko:
> ...Beat.

[Tashi]

Daiyousei:
> "I mean ones I'm used to. You're used to yours, Cirno's used to ice, things like that."

Daiko:
> ...Beat.

> "That's exactly it." He smirks. "You have something you aren't used to. Well then, get to work on getting used to it now that we will be doing this."

---

> You watch...
> There is... no reaction from the people.
> Keine is about to talk, but-
> "It's fine if all of you hate me, okay!" Aya interrupted the teacher...
> "It's fine if... my newspaper stops being produced due to the bad reputation I have accrued due to this incident!"
> "But please!"
> Aya makes an exaggerated bow.
> "Let me be the hostess of a grand event like the Fantastic Danmaku Festival! Even if it's the last thing I will do!"
> Okay, this is oh so not like her. Definitely...
> _

[meow56]

Niji:
>Sadly: "...Alright."

Nijisa:
>"Well, ok."

Niji Blue:
>"Bluh??"

Niji Yellow:
>Yuudachi's dry, right?

Bastet:
>Look for stairs down.

[Tashi]

Niji:
>Sadly: "...Alright."

Nijisa:
>"Well, ok."

Niji Blue:
>"Bluh??"

Niji Yellow:
>Yuudachi's dry, right?

Bastet:
>Look for stairs down.

> "..." Marry... is looking away and down.
> "... S-So... you said there was an on land exit, right?" Star looks at Elfin.
> "Yes. Again, below the mansion."
> "Do you think we can return now?"
> "... No reason not to, I guess."

---

> "Good..."
> Alice takes the bucket out of the sink, replacing it with yours.

---

> "There you are!" Clownpiece said with a frown. "Dear, you apparently died or something after they scolded us!"

---

> Yes.

---

> You start to look for-
> You... find such...
> _

[meow56]

Niji:
>Stand up, then.

Nijisa:
>Nothing we can do but wait 'till it fills up.

Niji Blue:
>"Uh, sorry."

Niji Yellow:
>Get rid of the light.
>"You wanna go see what Cirno and Daiyousei are doing?"

Bastet:
>"Well, there are the stairs."

[Tashi]

Niji:
>Stand up, then.

Nijisa:
>Nothing we can do but wait 'till it fills up.

Niji Blue:
>"Uh, sorry."

Niji Yellow:
>Get rid of the light.
>"You wanna go see what Cirno and Daiyousei are doing?"

Bastet:
>"Well, there are the stairs."

> You are.
> "It's... safe for my sheeps to go through, Elfin?" Marry asked.
> "It should be. Don't worry, I will make sure it is."
> "Don't... overdo yourself. You still need to take care of yourself..."
> "It's fine. The mints have been really helpful for me..."
> "..." Niji Red tugs you from the lower part of your dress. "Y-You can unmake me."

---

> You wait, watching how Alice summons some dolls, which start to carry the bucket away.

---

> Clownpiece scowls, sighing heavily.
> "Look. They got back to their works. And are now repairing the house of that girl. So stop it, alright?"

---

> You make the light ball disappear.
> Yuudachi looks up to you, nodding.

---

> "... For some reason... it sort of gives me an ominous feeling..."
> Oniru takes the lead, starting her to descend them first...
> _

[meow56]

Niji:
>Confused frown.
>If we can, move to a relatively more secluded spot.
>"Uh, do you really want me to?"

Niji Blue:
>"Alright..."

Niji Yellow:
>Pick up Yuudachi if we aren't already and stand up.
>"Let's go, then."
>Start heading towards the trio.

Bastet:
>Follow.
>"Let's hope it's nothing..."

[Tashi]

Niji:
>Confused frown.
>If we can, move to a relatively more secluded spot.
>"Uh, do you really want me to?"

Niji Blue:
>"Alright..."

Niji Yellow:
>Pick up Yuudachi if we aren't already and stand up.
>"Let's go, then."
>Start heading towards the trio.

Bastet:
>Follow.
>"Let's hope it's nothing..."

> You move away from the others at the flower field with Red.
> "I only appeared to make sure Marry was safe..."

---

> " 'Alright'?" Clownpiece looks down to you.

---

> You pick Yuudachi between your arms, then start flying towards the figures...

---

> "It shouldn't. It's just a house..."
> It's dark down here...
> _

[meow56]

Niji:
>"Yes, but it seems like a waste of life to just get rid of you."

Niji Blue:
>"Uh?"

Bastet:
>"Pretty dark down here..."

[Tashi]

Niji:
>"Yes, but it seems like a waste of life to just get rid of you."

Niji Blue:
>"Uh?"

Bastet:
>"Pretty dark down here..."

> "What are you talkign about? You can summon me anytime."

---

> "Just 'alright'?"

---

> "Yes..."
> There doesn't seem to be lights here...
> _

[meow56]

Niji:
>"Well, maybe... but there's the risk that summoning you again won't leave you sentient."
>"Unless you know what happens when I unsummon you?"

Niji Blue:
>"Uh, I guess?"

Bastet:
>"Should we go back up?"
