Koishi Quest ~ To the Overworld and beyond!

[Yonowaaru]

>Size of the bag?

>The bag is a little bigger than the egg, and quite a lot higher as well. You could probably fit some more things in here once you find them.

>Alright, let's stash the egg in the travel bag, but we should put some soft things in there before and after the egg. Like clothing and stuff, so that way it'll be comfortable!
>Once we've done that, let's go visit Okuu at the range!

>Clothing to keep the li'l critter warm, a few cushions from your bed, and you put the egg in your travel bag. It fits fairly nicely!
>You got a green rose-patterned travelbag x 1!

>After you've finished packing, you head out to see Okuu.
>Okuu is practicing her shot once again, it seems. The practice range was built around a month ago, and the area around it has kind of... grown used to Okuu's attacks. The ground looks like some kind of grey cheese with lots of holes. Okuu doesn't seem to care much, though, as she just flies above it, but Satori got kind of angry because the garden used to be so pretty and green over here...
>Because of the loud banging noises of her danmaku, Okuu doesn't seem to notice you approaching.

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's fly up, get behind her, and give 'er a big hug! "Hiya Okuu~! What'cha doing?"

[Yonowaaru]

>You approach her from behind, and surprise her with a big, friendly hug when she's not firing.
>At first, she is totally overwhelmed, but then she looks back and sees your face, and answers to your hugging.
>After a while, the two of you break up and Okuu asks you:
>"Hi, Koishi-sama! It's been a while, huh! How have you been? And what's that big bag you're carrying"
>Your eye tells you she's rushing her words for a reason; she seems to be hiding something, or at least trying to.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"A big bag."
>"What'cha up to?"

[Yonowaaru]

>"Aah!" she responds in exasperation. She really is a birdbrain...
>"Just what it looks like, practicing my shot at these targets here. Nothing special at all!" she answers, and shoot a small sun-bullet at the target in front of her to show you.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well, just don't cause trouble okay~?"

[Yonowaaru]

>"I promise I won't cause any more trouble, Koishi-sama!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's hug her again!
>"Y'know, your wings make you real fluffy~"

[IdiotsOpposite]

She's so cute! Let's give her another hug for good measure

EDIT: Never mind.

[Yonowaaru]

>Let's hug her again!
>"Y'know, your wings make you real fluffy~"

>You hug her once again, for no apparent reason other than your desires!
>"K-Koishi-sama, that's mean! They're really t-t-tickly, y'know!"

She's so cute! Let's give her another hug for good measure

EDIT: Never mind.

Another hug? Is this Koishi's Quest for Eternal Hugginess?

[Nekomata-chan]

>Aww... sad-face...
>"It's mean? Sorry~... it's just they're so feathery!!"

>Should we hang around, or get going? It would be best not to hang around in case Satori comes back and notices that she is now down some money. Awkward!
>Besides, we have an adventure to do!

[Yonowaaru]

>You pout strongly.
>"N-no, that's not how I meant it. Koishi-sama isn't mean. Koishi-sama definitely isn't mean!"
>Satori won't be returning for another week according to Orin, but of course there's adventure out there!

[Nekomata-chan]

>Grin, "I knew I wasn't~ don't worry~!"

>Sigh, "Well, I best get going... adventures to be had... bags to carry... I'll go and say bye to Orin, then I'll be off~!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's give her one more hug before going off to find Orin, just for good measure.

[Yonowaaru]

>Grin, "I knew I wasn't~ don't worry~!"

>Sigh, "Well, I best get going... adventures to be had... bags to carry... I'll go and say bye to Orin, then I'll be off~!"

>Utsuho just sighs, relieved for some reason.
>"Adventures! That sounds amazing! Good luck, and take back a souvenir!"

>Let's give her one more hug before going off to find Orin, just for good measure.

>You give her one more hug, then set off to find Orin in the Palace.
>Orin is easily found; she's eating in the dining room.
>When she notices you, she asks:"Ah, Koishi-shama, you're back! Did you manage to find a nice pet?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Sigh sorta. "Not really, but I think I'll find one when I'm traveling around! I remembered that if you're traveling, you gotta carry a travel bag! So I came back to pick it up."
>Indicate the packed bag.

[Yonowaaru]

>"You'll ... find one? Well, good luck with that."
>When you finish talking and point at the bag, she realises:"Oh, you've travelling? I'll have to watch the Palace myself, then? Well, it's not like I can't handle that much myself. Good travellings, then!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Grin. "It's gonna be an adventure~!"

[Yonowaaru]

>"An adventure, huh? I'd sure like to join you one day! Call me next time when Satori is around, will ya? We'll visit the hot springs!" Orin answers

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle. "Every day's an adventure when you're traveling~!"
>Nod. "But that sounds like a great idea! We should all go to the hot springs sometime!"

[Yonowaaru]

>"I suppose so" Orin answers. "I'll talk it over with Satori when she gets back, okay?"
>Orin then stuffs herself with a chunk of meat, which makes you realise... you haven't had breakfast yet. You knew you were forgetting something...

[IdiotsOpposite]

Breakfast sounds great! What do we usually have, though?

Oh, and hug Orin. Because we can.

[Yonowaaru]

>You usually have meat, like most youkai. You prefer it with a lot of spices, something most other people (including even Orin and Okuu) do not seem to appreciate the taste of. Your favorite sauce, Tabasco, which you buy from Kourindou, is already on the table.
>You also hug Orin. You really are a nice person, aren't you?

[Nekomata-chan]

>We have a lot of UC... so maybe we could pick up some 'provisions' from the city?

>OR, alternatively, we could just have a nice breakfast!

[Yonowaaru]

>Choices, choices! But what will you decide?

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Into the city! We have to get supplies for our adventure anyways; might as well get something for breakfast while we're there.

[IdiotsOpposite]

Let's take the Tabasco with us, though. So that we can spice up whatever we get in the city!

[Yonowaaru]

>Into the city! We have to get supplies for our adventure anyways; might as well get something for breakfast while we're there.

Let's take the Tabasco with us, though. So that we can spice up whatever we get in the city!

>You head on out into the city, after putting the bottle of Tabasco in your bag.
>Heading out through the garden, you once again notice the glaring hole in the wall around it. You also notice a bunch of rowdy oni a bit down the street, standing in front of each other as if they're gonna start a fight. And... reading their subconcious, that seems to be a good guess.

[Nekomata-chan]

>Avoid it. We're going on an adventure, and the last thing we need is to be in the centre of a fight between Oni.

>Let's keep on going!

[Yonowaaru]

>You don't want to get in a fight if you can avoid it! Adventure is out there!
>You pass along the main streets of Ancient City, entering the outskirts of the city. This part of the Underground isn't heavily inhabited: the only houses here are a small stone shrine at the end of a side road, and a main road that leads towards the Lethe; one of the rivers that flows through the underground. You're pretty sure someone lives down at the bridge as well.
