Kiku-chan:

>"An missing person, Daiko-kun is trying to find her for someone's sake..."

Niji Golden:

>"Hey ! Wait !"
>Follow after one group !

NIji White:

>"Yeah !"
>Follow after another !

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"An missing person, Daiko-kun is trying to find her for someone's sake..."

> "I see... Do we know her? Maybe I can help if you describe her to me..."

Niji Golden:

>"Hey ! Wait !"
>Follow after one group !

NIji White:

>"Yeah !"
>Follow after another !

> They separated in two groups of five each. Golden follows the one that goes to the top of the mountain, while White pursues the one that goes to the foot of the mountain.
> "Investigation time. Yaaay." Kokoro follows White.
> "Let's go Star, Luna!" The three fairies follow Golden.

> The group that Golden is following looks back while flying forward. They seem to hesitate for a moment, before starting to fire at you.

Niji Golden:

>"Wait ! We don't wanna fight !"
>Keep going while avoiding the danmaku.

Kiku-chan:

>"I know... but..."
>Sigh.
>"Can you please promise to me you will keep this a secret from everyone ? Even the Mistress ?"

[Tashi]

Niji Golden:

>"Wait ! We don't wanna fight !"
>Keep going while avoiding the danmaku.

> You and the three fairies keep advancing while dodging.
> "What's wrong with those fairies?" Sunny asks.
> "Fire! Fire at will!" One says of them says.
> "Don't let them find where Marry-san is!" Another shouts.
> They keep shooting.

> For the record, the original Niji and Byakuren are heading towards the middle of the mountain.

Kiku-chan:

>"I know... but..."
>Sigh.
>"Can you please promise to me you will keep this a secret from everyone ? Even the Mistress ?"

> "... Maybe."

[Monarda]

//I'm gonna wait for Mini to see if he is okay with telling Sakuya.

[Neovereign]

//We're asking about Orange, right? Why do we need less people knowing again?
Daiko:

>"I hope my abilities could actually be useful sometime..."

[Monarda]

//We need to make sure Meiling doesn't learn about it.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"I hope my abilities could actually be useful sometime..."

> "This is just not the right time to test them... ..." Sakura thinks. "... Hmm..."
> "What's wrong?" Kisume asks.
> "Oh, I was wondering about something..." Sakura giggles. "I will need to talk with Suika and Yuugi later."
> _

[Neovereign]

//Just Meiling? If so, we could probably ask Sakuya to keep one person from knowing of it, but don't mention who until she's agreed.
Daiko:

>_{^{"More secrets..."}}

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>_{^{"More secrets..."}}

> "Heeey, don't be like thaaat..."
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"Okay... technically you just need to make sure only one person finds out about this, and that person isn't the Mistress, can you guarantee that ?"

Niji Golden:

>"Stop ! We just wanna ask about the sheep !"
>Keep dodging !
>Can the other Nijis see what we see ?

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Are we going..."

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"Okay... technically you just need to make sure only one person finds out about this, and that person isn't the Mistress, can you guarantee that ?"

> Sakuya is silent for some seconds. "Alright."

Niji Golden:

>"Stop ! We just wanna ask about the sheep !"
>Keep dodging !
>Can the other Nijis see what we see ?

> "We won't tell you anything, stronger fairies!" They keep shooting.
> "Well, at least they acknowledge that we are stronger." Sunny says.
> You keep dodging. You are going to catch them soon if they don't make anything else.
> It's a bit messy, but you can, and viceversa.

Daiko:

>"Are we going..."

> "Let's go." Yamame follows Aya who's still pulling the angsty Parsee and the affectionate Bastet.
> Everyone follows too.
>

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"Alright... i'm looking for a person called Orange... and she was Meiling's greatest friend, Orange looks a lot like Meiling from what i heard since they are both from China..."
>Nod.
>"Daiko-kun, the rest of our family and i are working to reunite the two, and we need the most info we can..."

Niji-chan:

>"Miss Byakuren ! Looks like the fairies Golden is after know something ! Let's go !"
>Lead her after Golden !

Niji Golden:

>"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease ? I don't wanna fight !"
>Keep going !

Bastet-chan:

>Help Aya move her around.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Continue.

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"Alright... i'm looking for a person called Orange... and she was Meiling's greatest friend, Orange looks a lot like Meiling from what i heard since they are both from China..."
>Nod.
>"Daiko-kun, the rest of our family and i are working to reunite the two, and we need the most info we can..."

> Sakuya frowns when you say "Orange".
> "... Are you absolutely sure about what you are telling me? Orange was, indeed, Meiling's best friend years ago. Meiling was anxious to receive at least a letter of Orange, even when the probability of that happening was VERY low, if not impossible."
> Sakuya pauses for some seconds.
> "... Did you met Orange in the past?"

Niji-chan:

>"Miss Byakuren ! Looks like the fairies Golden is after know something ! Let's go !"
>Lead her after Golden !

> "Huh? Okay..."
> You lead Mommy Byakuku to Golden's group.

Niji Golden:

>"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease ? I don't wanna fight !"
>Keep going !

> "Then stop following us!" One of them shout.
> "Oh, that's not going to happen! Now tell us about the ships!" Luna orders.
> "Sheeps." Star rectifies Luna.
> "Whatever! Those sheepy-ships!" Sunny shouts.
> "Neeeveeer!!" They add to their patterns... fire balls?!
> "Wah?!" Sunny barely dodges one of them.

Bastet-chan:

>Help Aya move her around.

> You stop hugging and help Aya to pull the angsty Parsee.
> "NOT THE CAT TOO! MY LIFE SUUUCKSSS!" She shouts, still struggling.
> "I swear to the gods that if she keeps like this I'm going to knock her up..." One vein in Aya's face it's throbbing.

Daiko:

>Continue.

> You keep following.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"No i haven't, but Grandmother Sakura did, they were friends back then... but she told us that after a day, Orange just... vanished, she stopped visiting, and nobody had seen her again."
>Look sad.
>"I was thinking that her disappearance might also be tied to Daiko-kun's mother's... because we know that both of them are alive..."

Niji Golden:

>Try manipulating the non-fireball danmaku like we did to the light sphere, since they both emit light and are made of energy, and dissipate them.
>Keep dodging and following !
>Just to our group: "Sunny ! Try cloaking the three of you and following them without being noticed !"

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"No i haven't, but Grandmother Sakura did, they were friends back then... but she told us that after a day, Orange just... vanished, she stopped visiting, and nobody had seen her again."
>Look sad.
>"I was thinking that her disappearance might also be tied to Daiko-kun's mother's... because we know that both of them are alive..."

> "... Meiling was so happy to come to Gensokyo and finally see Orange again... but it wasn't like she was expecting... She tries her best to not think about it, since she believes that Orange is... ..."

Niji Golden:

>Try manipulating the non-fireball danmaku like we did to the light sphere, since they both emit light and are made of energy, and dissipate them.
>Keep dodging and following !
>Just to our group: "Sunny ! Try cloaking the three of you and following them without being noticed !"

> You try to dissipate the danmaku that aren't the fireballs...
> It doesn't work.
> You keep dodgin and following.
> "Got it! You two! C'me here!" Sunny approaches the other two fairies and the three become invisible.
> "W-What?!" One of the fairies asks.
> "They are those fairies! Hurry! Fire everywheeere!!"
> Two fairies keep shooting at you, while the other three start to fire at any direction.

> The group that White and Kokoro are following look above them.
> "They need help! Let's go!" One of them orders.
> "Haaai!" The fairy group change it's direction towards the other one.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"I-I don't think you should say that phrase if you mean something different Aya..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"I-I don't think you should say that phrase if you mean something different Aya..."

> Aya looks at you. "Hm?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"N-Nothing..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"N-Nothing..."

> "Anyway. So... You have a horn? For real?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Me?"
>Look to Kyouko, then to Sakura. What is Sakura's expression?

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"...that's why we have to find her... Chief Maid..."
>Nod.
>"You will help me right ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Do you know anyone named 'Marry-san' Miss Byakuku ?"

Niji Golden:

>"I'm not going away without answers !"
>Keep at it ! The pressure should be less now.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Me?"
>Look to Kyouko, then to Sakura. What is Sakura's expression?

> You look at Kyouko; she looks at you when you do it.
> "What is it?" She asks.
> You look at Sakura. She has a little guilty smile.
> "She asked me." Sakura giggles a bit.

Kiku-chan:

>"...that's why we have to find her... Chief Maid..."
>Nod.
>"You will help me right ?"

> "..." Sakuya nods. "I'll try my best. Maybe she tries to hide it, but Meiling feels a great pain at not being able to see Orange anywhere... I can't let that be anymore, can I?"

Niji-chan:

>"Do you know anyone named 'Marry-san' Miss Byakuku ?"

> "Marry?" She asks.
> Kokoro approaches and joins your group.
> "I don't think I know someone named like that." Byakuren shakes her head.

Niji Golden:

>"I'm not going away without answers !"
>Keep at it ! The pressure should be less now.

> Now that are less fairies shooting at you, you approach even more at them.
> "She's getting clooose!"
> "Don't worry! We'll help!" Says one of the fairies of the other group, starting to fire at you from below.
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"And thanks to you, i'm this weird mix of Human, Yuki-onna and Oni... couldn't you have found someone else to experiment on ?"
>Pout a little.

Kiku-chan:

>"Great, i look forward to work together for that."
>Smile.

Niji-chan:

>"Cmon ! We need to help them !"
>Head there !

Niji Golden:

>"Are these sheep your fault ?"

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Turn to Aya: "But, yea. Sorta. It's hardly a horn though."

[Tashi]

Daiko-kun:

>"And thanks to you, i'm this weird mix of Human, Yuki-onna and Oni... couldn't you have found someone else to experiment on ?"
>Pout a little.

> "Don't give me ideaaas~" She giggles.
> "... Is she really a good grandmother?" Kyouko asks, a drop of sweat lowering by her temple.

Kiku-chan:

>"Great, i look forward to work together for that."
>Smile.

> Sakuya nods.

Niji-chan:

>"Cmon ! We need to help them !"
>Head there !

Niji Golden:

>"Are these sheep your fault ?"

> You start heading with Golden to offer some aid.

> You get hit by the bullets of the other group. You can still keep at it, but another barrage...
> "Our mouth is sealed!" One of the two fairies says, while still shooting at you.
> "Got ya!" The other three fairies are shoot down by the cloaked fairies of light. They are now ahead of everyone.
> "Waaah!!" The two that were shooting at you try to escape, but Sunny and Luna take them by the arm.
> "They got uuus!!"

> "No!" The fairy of the other group starts to command. "Everyone! Fire with everything! Don't let them get you!!"
> They start to barrage again at all of you with danmaku.

Daiko:

>Turn to Aya: "But, yea. Sorta. It's hardly a horn though."

> "Sorta? What is it, then?" Aya asks, seemingly a bit more calm now.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"She's a Great Grandma. Not like, mother of your grandma great, but good great. She's been my best friend for a lot of years too, and... that sorta led to something upsetting... but it passed."
>"Also, here." Part our hair enough until we can feel our horn clearly.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"She's a Great Grandma. Not like, mother of your grandma great, but good great. She's been my best friend for a lot of years too, and... that sorta led to something upsetting... but it passed."
>"Also, here." Part our hair enough until we can feel our horn clearly.

> You find your horn more easily this time and you spread your hair a bit to let them see it a bit better.
> "..." Sakura looks at it with curiosity, which is odd, since she knows how it looks.
> "Oh, I see." Aya says. "It's growing, isn't it?"
> _
