Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 8

[Tashi]

Niji Golden:

>"WHAT ?!"
>Jump.
>"W-Why would you ever sign something like that ?! That's just an stupid idea ! The village NEEDS Keine.

> "T-That doesn't even sound like something you would do, Mokou!" Sakura jumps too.
> "That's because Keine herself convinced me." Mokou sighs.
> Sakura's expression is blank.

Niji Blue:

>"You could use the bathroom then."
>Lead them there.

> ... Actually, you didn't saw yet a bathroom in the underground house. You lead them to the bathroom of the upper house.
> "A-Also... we need clo-"
> "Hey, don't abuse..." The nice fairy whispers.
> "I-I'm just saying that we need clothes..."

Niji Red:

>"Well, of course, as long as it isn't for any harmful intents."

> "Deal, then?" She raises her open hand to you.

Daiko:

>Sigh.

Kiku:

>"Why haven't you gotten out yet?"

> Kokoro stands up and approaches to Koakuma.
> "... Hi." She says.
> "O-Oh... Hi..." Koa replies.

> "Uhm... Can Mystia and I have some private time, Kiku?" Kyouko asks.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Watch.

Kiku:

>"...You aren't- ah, nevermind. Sure."
>Smile a bit.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Watch.

Kiku:

>"...You aren't- ah, nevermind. Sure."
>Smile a bit.

> "I noticed something when Daiko asked us about elemental magic..." Kokoro starts.
> "U-Uh?"
> "... You do, right?"
> "..." Koakuma looks to the side. "I'm not very confident about it..."

> "T-Thanks..."
> Mystia gives you a confused look.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Golden:

>"....what ?"
>Look in shock.
>"But.... why ?"

Niji Blue:

>"Um... i don't think we have clothes for you... sorry..."

Niji Red:

>Nod shyfully.

[Tashi]

Niji Golden:

>"....what ?"
>Look in shock.
>"But.... why ?"

> "... I came when I left all of you. When I arrived, everything in Eientei was engulfed in darkness."
> "D... Darkness?" Sakura frowns a bit.
> "You see... It seems that "someone" or "something" did it." Kaguya starts. "Sooo... I wanted Mokou and Keine to stay here to help me with that."
> "Of course, I wouldn't do that for free..." Mokou says. "After three days, which will be the time we will be here. I want Eientei to help the Human Village regarding the Danmaku Festival. Decorations and such."

Niji Blue:

>"Um... i don't think we have clothes for you... sorry..."

> "I-It's okay!" The nice fairy says.
> "Yeah!" The others nod.

Niji Red:

>Nod shyfully.

> "Well..." Nitori takes your right hand and makes you do a hand shake with her right hand. "Deal it is!"
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Golden:

>"Darkness..."
>Turn to Sakura-sama.
>"...are you thinking about the same thing i am Sakura-sama ?"

Niji Red:

>"Oh ! One more condition i forgot !"

Niji Blue:

>Smile.
>"Okay, now make your groups everyone, we need two groups, one for each room."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Why not get more confident? I'm not that confident in my abilities yet, so I'm gonna try and practice with it some. It'll be useful in finding my mother. Maybe..."

Kiku:

>"Hurry up though or you won't have any time to enjoy the sauna."
>Start heading back.

[Tashi]

Niji Golden:

>"Darkness..."
>Turn to Sakura-sama.
>"...are you thinking about the same thing i am Sakura-sama ?"

> "Hm?"

Niji Red:

>"Oh ! One more condition i forgot !"

> Nitori tilts her head.

Niji Blue:

>Smile.
>"Okay, now make your groups everyone, we need two groups, one for each room."

> The five fairies start to talk to each other.
> "... Oke, Nii-san!" They look at you. Three of them, which include the nice fairy, raise their hand. "We are a group!"
> "And we are another!" The other two raise their hands.

Daiko:

>"Why not get more confident? I'm not that confident in my abilities yet, so I'm gonna try and practice with it some. It'll be useful in finding my mother. Maybe..."

Kiku:

>"Hurry up though or you won't have any time to enjoy the sauna."
>Start heading back.

> "Well... it's mainly because they aren't something of myself, but instead I need books to cast the magic..." Koa looks at you. "I have another ability... but it has nothing to do with elemental magic."

> You head back with the others, leaving Mystia with Kyouko.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Oh."

Kiku:

>Continue.

[Monarda]

Niji-chan and Blue:

>"Okay ! Now please dry up."

Niji Red:

>"You gotta promise to make your workplace and work measures safer !"

Niji Golden:

>"Think, what was the last place you saw something dark covering up an area ?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Oh."

Kiku:

>Continue.

> "Thus, I'm not as good as Lady Patchouli." Koakuma smiles a bit. "But I can do..."
> Another Koakuma appears besides her. This one has shorter hair.
> "... this" The new Koa says.

> You return to the sauna.
> And you freak out a bit when you see two Koakumas.

Niji-chan and Blue:

>"Okay ! Now please dry up."

> "There are towels, though?" One of them ask.

Niji Red:

>"You gotta promise to make your workplace and work measures safer !"

> " 'kaaay..." She pouts a bit.

Niji Golden:

>"Think, what was the last place you saw something dark covering up an area ?"

> "Well, I see some kind of darkness ball fly a lot." Sakura shrugs a bit.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Golden:

>"Oh, that just that cute darkness youkai called Rumia, i mean, *that* darkness..."

Kiku-chan:

>Walk to them in a trance, then slowly pet the shorter-haired one.
>"....cute..."

Niji-chan and Blue:

>Look for some !

[Tashi]

Niji Golden:

>"Oh, that just that cute darkness youkai called Rumia, i mean, *that* darkness..."

> "... ... No. Impossible."
> "Hm?" Kaguya looks at her.
> "I won't accept that."

Kiku-chan:

>Walk to them in a trance, then slowly pet the shorter-haired one.
>"....cute..."

> You walk to them slowly and you pet the new Koakuma... SLOWLY.
> "... Uhm... Kiku?" She asks.
> "She's bewildered by Koakuma magic powers." Kokoro sage nods.

Niji-chan and Blue:

>Look for some !

> You two quickly find a shelf with at least eight towels in the main bathroom of the house.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan and Blue:

>Take some for them !

Niji Golden:

>"You said it to Daiko-kun before, don't run away from it, you know very well that it is very possible for it to come back..."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Is the new Koakuma... wearing another towel?

[Tashi]

Niji-chan and Blue:

>Take some for them !

> You and Blue take five towels for them.
> You remember too that you are wet...

Niji Golden:

>"You said it to Daiko-kun before, don't run away from it, you know very well that it is very possible for it to come back..."

> "... Tch." Sakura looks away.
> "Hm? What's wrong?" Mokou asks.
> "Do you know anything about this?" Kaguya raises an eyebrow.

Daiko:

>Is the new Koakuma... wearing another towel?

> ... No...
> ...
> She's wearing Koakuma's usual outfit.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Huh... Niji can sorta do something like that, I think..."
>Consider the heat of the sauna and how long it'll take before it starts getting to this new, smaller Koakuma...

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Huh... Niji can sorta do something like that, I think..."
>Consider the heat of the sauna and how long it'll take before it starts getting to this new, smaller Koakuma...

> It's pretty hot here. You can see she's already sweating.
> "And how come she isn't nude?" Kokoro asks.
> "H-Huh?" The two of them look at her.
> "I mean... if every clone appear with your clothes, that's means you have infinite clothes..."
> "Err... No. It doesn't work like that." Koa shakes her head. The clone mimics her.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Golden:

>Shake our head.
>"No, not really, it was just an blind guess, could you describe it though ?"

Niji-chan and Blue:

>"Hm... it works..."
>Keep going, five is enough.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Right..."

[Tashi]

Niji Golden:

>Shake our head.
>"No, not really, it was just an blind guess, could you describe it though ?"

> "Uh... Just darkness." Kaguya says. "Everything inside that darkness received no light, so we needed to make artificial one to light the mansion."
> "Keine used her abilities to make Eientei disappear, and when she made it reappear, the darkness was away." Mokou explains.

Niji-chan and Blue:

>"Hm... it works..."
>Keep going, five is enough.

> You bring the towels to the group of fairies.
> "Thanks!" They say.
> "So, uh... There's no problem if we take a bath?" One of them ask.

Daiko:

>"Right..."

> The clone disappear.
> "Yeah..."
> "Neat." Kokoro says. "Like Niji."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Relax.

Tsuru:

>"Nothing's happening... Guess you weren't that right..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Relax.

Tsuru:

>"Nothing's happening... Guess you weren't that right..."

> You relax and enjoy the moment...

> "You sure?" Kira laughs.
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>"So far yea. Kiku's back without Kyouko though. And Mystia's gone too. Guess they might be talking or something..."

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"So far yea. Kiku's back without Kyouko though. And Mystia's gone too. Guess they might be talking or something..."

> "Don't get me wrong, but everything is going just like I predicted. You just need to put some imagination... and you can see an entire new world, hehe."

> Kokoro returns and sits besides Daiko again.
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>"Not seeing anything more yet... You say it's leading up to something more?"

Daiko:

>"Ahh..."

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"Not seeing anything more yet... You say it's leading up to something more?"

Daiko:

>"Ahh..."

> "Who knows? I'm just a trapped spirit, so anything I say matters..." He laughs.

> Kokoro looks at you.
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>"That really does look relaxing though..."

Daiko:

>"How is it?"

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"That really does look relaxing though..."

Daiko:

>"How is it?"

> "And why you are still here, by the way? You can get out anytime you want." You can hear how Kira sighs. "Don't even tell me you like to be here."

> "It's really good." Kokoro nods.
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>How much do we like it in here?
>"A bit... It's be awkward to just get out now though."

Daiko:

>"Yea."
>Examine Kokoro.

Kiku:

>"So what was your other one Koa?"
