Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 7

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Sakura? O-Oh! Hey. I hope you don't mind if I cook something to eat. We're starving."

> "We?" Sakura leans a bit to see all the people you are bringing. "Oh! Sure!"
> "Hello, Sakura-san!" Kyouko greets.
> "Hiii..." Kokoro says.
> "Sorry for the interruption." Koakuma bows a bit and smiles.
> "..." Mystia is silent. "A-Arukas...?"
> "Oh! This is the new me, Misty!"
> "... I... see...?" Mystia stares at her new attributes and quickly looks away. "So-Sorry for the interruption..."

Niji Golden:

>"Yeah, they really look suspicious, they are even looking to see if anyone is following them..."

Niji-chan:

>"Do they know me ?"

> "Clowny, don't you mind if we investigate?" Daiyousei asks.
> "Hm..." Clownpiece pouts a bit and puts her hands in the back of her head. "Alriiight..."
> "Thanks, and sorry for delaying our game." Daiyousei looks at you. "Shall we?"

> Wakasagihime just shrugs a bit. "They look odd... and looked at us oddly..."

> (Blue) You can see the fairies. You aren't in their field of view, as they are looking at their backs. If you keep going you will intercept them.

Niji Red:

>"Hehe."
>Help her out.

> You squat to grab the three objects that fell.
> One of them is some kind of mechanical arm... destroyed.
> Other is some kind of mechanical humanoid thing.
> The last is... ... you don't really know what is this. It says above it "Hypervessel Phone".
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"We advise getting too close to Arukas... her cannons might knock you out... ANYWAYS, I'll get started."
>Get Kokoro to the couch and set her down, before heading to the kitchen.

[Monarda]

Niji Red:

>"Hypervessel Phone ?"

Bastet-chan:

>"Yeah ! Sakura-sama is big now, she might not be cute anymore, but she is still a silly funny airhead."
>Smile.

Niji Blue:

>Just tail them from a safe distance...
>Try to make it so light goes right through us instead of hitting us and reflecting, save for our eyes.

Niji Golden:

>Nod.
>"Sunny, mind cloaking us please ?"

[Tashi]

Bastet-chan:

>"Yeah ! Sakura-sama is big now, she might not be cute anymore, but she is still a silly funny airhead."
>Smile.

> "Funny, she say..." Sakura scratches her cheek. "Anyway. Come in! You are in your home!"
> Everyone enters. Koakuma is the last one, so she closes the door.

Daiko:

>"We advise getting too close to Arukas... her cannons might knock you out... ANYWAYS, I'll get started."
>Get Kokoro to the couch and set her down, before heading to the kitchen.

> You set Kokoro in the couch and you head to the kitchen.
> "Please, everyone! Take seat!"
> After some seconds, Sakura enters the kitchen too.
> "Aaah, so you brought a lot of people to talk, huh?" Sakura smiles.

Niji Red:

>"Hypervessel Phone ?"

> "Oh, I use that to talk with some frie-... ..." Nitori looks at you. "U-Uhm... D-Don't press the red button..."

Niji Blue:

>Just tail them from a safe distance...
>Try to make it so light goes right through us instead of hitting us and reflecting, save for our eyes.

> You maintain yourself in a safe distance from them.
> They speed up.
> Your body seems to become intangible, except for your eyes. You are still visible, however.

Niji Golden:

>Nod.
>"Sunny, mind cloaking us please ?"

> "Okay." Sunny approaches. "Everyone has to be near me, however."
> _

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>Get ready !

Niji Golden:

>"Right, i will lead you."
>Head to where those fairies went, leading our group closely.

Niji Blue:

>Well... it should help us remain hidden right ?
>Keep following closely, match their speed.

Niji Red:

>"Oh... what do your friends do ?"

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Um... Sorta..."

[Tashi]

Bastet-chan:

>Get ready !

> You get comfy in the couch.
> "So this is your house..." Koakuma starts looking around.
> Mystia does the same.

Niji Golden:

>"Right, i will lead you."
>Head to where those fairies went, leading our group closely.

> You start leading your group, all of them staying close.
> Sunny cloak all of you, including Green.
> "Oooh! Secret mission!" Cirno says, excited.
> "Sorta." Star comments.

Niji Blue:

>Well... it should help us remain hidden right ?
>Keep following closely, match their speed.

> You just transformed a bit of your body in light, as if you are going to become a ball of light, but not all of it. You intangible body shines a bit, but someone has to be looking for you to notice, and since everything is covered in snow, it just makes it more difficult.
> You follow more close at the same speed.

Niji Red:

>"Oh... what do your friends do ?"

> "It's... hard to explain... Do you think you can understand?"

Daiko:

>"Um... Sorta..."

> "Oh, and why that succubus is so close to Kiku? ... Is she...?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Why not ask them yourself."
>Smile.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Why not ask them yourself."
>Smile.

> Sakura exits the kitchen.
> "Oooh Kikuuu~... Do you have something really important to tell meee~...?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Sigh and get to cooking.

Kiku:

>"Huh?"

[Monarda]

Niji Red:

>Nod.
>"I should understand at least a little."

Kiku-chan:

>"Huh ? Uh... yeah... sorta..."
>Fidget.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Sigh and get to cooking.

Kiku:

>"Huh?"

> You begin to cook. Time to put those excellent skills in action.

> "Like... a special thing that happened to yooou~?" Sakura grins a bit.

Kiku-chan:

>"Huh ? Uh... yeah... sorta..."
>Fidget.

> "Well, enlight me~."
> Kyouko giggles.
> "Uh... What she means?" Koakuma asks to you.

Niji Red:

>Nod.
>"I should understand at least a little."

> "Okay..." Nitori clears her throat. "The friends I'm talking about are capable of traveling... in a massive scale. They use the "Probability Space Hypervessel", a giant ship, to do so. Said ship is equipped with very advanced technology-... ... ..."
> ... ... ... Huh?
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Continue.

Tsuru:

>"Still nothing to say?"

[Monarda]

Niji Red:

>"Ugh... i got lost... would you mind trying again speaking a bit slower please ?"
>Look worried.
>Pay attention !

Kiku-chan:

>"Right, well you see... at the mansion, something really unexpected happened..."
>Nod.
>"...i discovered my ability."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Turn a bit towards the others.
>"Hm? Ability?"
>Turn back to our cooking.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Continue.

Tsuru:

>"Still nothing to say?"

> You continue to test your magnificent skills.

> Kira is looking at the floor. He has... a really strange face for him. He seems to be thinking.

Niji Red:

>"Ugh... i got lost... would you mind trying again speaking a bit slower please ?"
>Look worried.
>Pay attention !

> "... I was expecting that." Nitori sighs.
> You try to pay more attention this time.
> "To make it simple, they travel in the "Probability Space Hypervessel", a floating giant ship. The technology they have is far more advanced than the one we have." Nitori nods a bit. "I met them long time ago. I was surprised on how interesting they are, and since I love any kind of mechanic things, I befriended them really quickly." She points to the "Hypervessel Phone". "They gave me that to be able to talk with them, and if I needed tools, they could come and bring them."

Kiku-chan:

>"Right, well you see... at the mansion, something really unexpected happened..."
>Nod.
>"...i discovered my ability."

Daiko:

>Turn a bit towards the others.
>"Hm? Ability?"
>Turn back to our cooking.

> "..." Sakura is silent. "... Eh?"
> "Huh?" Kyouko tilts her head.
> "You did?" Kokoro asks.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Nod.
>"It triggers when i get... uh... upset..."

Niji Red:

>"Huh... and what is their goal ?"

Niji Blue:

>So ?

[Neovereign]

//Make it simple? That's more than before Nitori! Poor Niji Red...
Daiko:

>Are we making enough for everyone here?

Tsuru:

>Watch Kira with interest.

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>Nod.
>"It triggers when i get... uh... upset..."

> "And in other things, it seems..." Koakuma whispers to herself.
> "And, uh... what do you do?" Sakura asks.

Niji Red:

>"Huh... and what is their goal ?"

> "Currently? I don't know," Nitori shrugs. "When I first met them, Reimu kicked their butts for something they tried to do. But they aren't bad people."

Niji Blue:

>So ?

> They don't seem to be flying to a specific destination.
> "... Now what? We can't return with them there..." One fairy says.
> "I guess we have to wait..."

//Make it simple? That's more than before Nitori! Poor Niji Red...
Daiko:

>Are we making enough for everyone here?

Tsuru:

>Watch Kira with interest.

> Considering your food reservations... you think there is. Second courses won't be possible, however.

> You keep watching Kira... His face, aside of being thoughtful, seems a bit confused.
> _

[Monarda]

//Hm...

Niji Blue:

>Stay hidden as much as we can and keep listening.

Niji Red:

>"Huh... weird..."

Kiku-chan:

>"Well... u-uh... i-i..."
>Look away.
>"...shred everything opposing me to pieces ?"

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>Blush a bit in response to Koa's statement.
>"Well, I think it's more when my emotions are heated or something... I guess maybe feral is the word? But I don't really like the sound of that much..."
>Think for a moment.
>"Uh... that definitely sounds more like it though..."

Daiko:

>Note when finished.

Tsuru:

>"Could've spoken up when we were still back there..."

[Tashi]

//Hm...

Niji Blue:

>Stay hidden as much as we can and keep listening.

> You keep hiden and listening.
> "... I hate this..." The only fairy that seems more nice than the others say.
> "What do you mean?"
> "I-I don't like being like this! Not being able... to talk with the people here... and acting like bad fairies..."

Niji Red:

>"Huh... weird..."

> "Hm?" Nitori looks at you. "Why you say that?"

Kiku-chan:

>"Well... u-uh... i-i..."
>Look away.
>"...shred everything opposing me to pieces ?"

> "Ah..." Sakura blinks.

Kiku:

>Blush a bit in response to Koa's statement.
>"Well, I think it's more when my emotions are heated or something... I guess maybe feral is the word? But I don't really like the sound of that much..."
>Think for a moment.
>"Uh... that definitely sounds more like it though..."

> "That sounds..."
> "... Dangerous." Mystia completes for Sakura.
> "Y-You really are like that?" Kyouko thinks. "I am like that too...?"

Daiko:

>Note when finished.

Tsuru:

>"Could've spoken up when we were still back there..."

> You continue. There's a nice smell.

> Kira frowns and looks at you.
> "What?"
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Red:

>"I thought you were great friends, how come you not know what their mission is ?"

Niji Blue:

>Huh...
>Keep watching.

Kiku-chan:

>"Well... i can sorta control it..."

[Tashi]

Niji Red:

>"I thought you were great friends, how come you not know what their mission is ?"

> "Well, the last time I talked to them was... what? six months ago?" Nitori replies.

Niji Blue:

>Huh...
>Keep watching.

> "... We have to do it. It's the only thing we can do..."
> The fairy only looks down, sad.

Kiku-chan:

>"Well... i can sorta control it..."

> Koa looks a bit down.
> "S-Sorta?! E-Ensure it, please..." Mystia says.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Red:

>"Um... is everything okay then ?"

Niji Blue:

>Keep watching with a sad face...

Niji-chan:

>"They seem to waiting for us to go away from the lake for some reason..."

Kiku-chan:

>"I will..."

Bastet-chan:

>!
>"I got it !"
>Smile.

[Tashi]

Niji Red:

>"Um... is everything okay then ?"

> "About what?"

Niji Blue:

>Keep watching with a sad face...

> You keep watching...
> They don't seem to say anything else, aside of flying with no destination.
> "... What- Hmf?!"
> The cloaked group, who is besides you, puts a hand in Luna's mouth, interrupting her.
> "Huh?" The fairies look around.

Niji-chan:

>"They seem to waiting for us to go away from the lake for some reason..."

> "Uh... I won't go away, for obvious reasons..." Wakasagihime tilts her head a bit.
> Yuudachi looks at you with a confused face.

Kiku-chan:

>"I will..."

Bastet-chan:

>!
>"I got it !"
>Smile.

> Everyone looks at Bastet.
> "What?" Kokoro asks.
> _

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>Look at Sakura-sama.
>"The tremors are cause by the fairy world right ? And they happen at the lake right ?"
>Smile.
>"So that means the lake area must contain at least one entrance !"

Niji Red:

>"About them."

Niji Blue:

>Hide behind an tree.

[Tashi]

Bastet-chan:

>Look at Sakura-sama.
>"The tremors are cause by the fairy world right ? And they happen at the lake right ?"
>Smile.
>"So that means the lake area must contain at least one entrance !"

> "The lake! OF COURSE!" Shouts Aya in realization, who exits Daiko's room.
> Everyone slowly look at her.
> "... Uh..." Aya fidgets. "... Dammit."
> "... Aya?" Koakuma asks.
> "Uh... E-Etto... W-Who's Aya?" Aya enters the room again and closes the door.
> Sakura giggles.

Niji Red:

>"About them."

> "I think it is. I should call them, now that you say it..." Nitori thinks.

Niji Blue:

>Hide behind an tree.

> You quickly descend and hide behind one tree.
> "... Did you said something?"
> "Nope..."
> "... Then what was that? Everyone heard it, right?"
> The rest of fairies nod.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"So they probably want you to dive..."

Niji Golden:

>Very very silently. "Luna..."

Niji Red:

>Nod.

Bastet-chan:

>"Nyo~ ?"

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"So they probably want you to dive..."

> "I-It doesn't make any difference... I could emerge at any moment, so... It's ilogic what they want to do." Wakasagihime blinks. "... How you do that, though? How you know what they want if you were here all the time?"

Niji Golden:

>Very very silently. "Luna..."

> "S-Sorry..."
> "... Maybe nothing." One fairy turns to see the others. "Let's see if they already left?"
> "Okay..." They reply.
> The group start to return.

Niji Red:

>Nod.

> "... Yea, I will." Nitori approaches to the door and closes it. She locks it afterwards.
> Nitori press a switch in the wall and the light bulb goes off.

Bastet-chan:

>"Nyo~ ?"

> "Anyway!" Sakura looks at Kiku. "You don't have anything else~...?"

> (Daiko) Food is ready~.
