[Tashi]

Niji Golden:

>"Huh... because Clownpiece was asking to meet up with her... oh well."

> ":.. Clownpiece?" She laughs from wherever she is.

Niji-chan:

>"I dunno about attractive, but the voice spoke again... and she sounded sarcastic when i asked if she was Hecatia."

> "... Oh no..." Clownpiece frowns and starts rubbing her hair. "Dammit... Where is that happening?"

Niji Green:

>Look for an story book !

Kiku:

>Continue.

> You head to the library.
> You pass by Kiku and Koakuma.

> You continue.
> "Huh..." Koa says.

Bastet:

>^{_{"Oh. Looks like they're going to bed..."}}

> "Yuu..." Yuudachi nods.
> You can now see Niji Green going to your way.
> "Yuu! Yuu!" Yuudachi raises her arms to her.

Daiko:

>Look to Kokoro.
>"Actually... I remember the other night. When you left to think about things... You remember why you stopped, right?"

> "... I felt... confused..." Kokoro replies.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Green:

>"Yuudachi !"
>Get her !

Niji-chan:

>"Eientei, cmon !"
>Lead her there.
>"Who is that person ? Is she evil ?"

Niji Golden:

>Do we feel any disturbances in the light arouns here ?

[Neovereign]

Bastet:

>"Ah. There she is. Hi Niji."
>Approach.

Kiku:

>"Looks like she's going to read something too."

Daiko:

>"Are you confused now? Or do you know what you want?"

[Tashi]

Bastet:

>"Ah. There she is. Hi Niji."
>Approach.

> You approach to Niji.
> "Yuu yu!"

Niji Green:

>"Yuudachi !"
>Get her !

> You retrieve Yuudachi from Bastet hands.
> "Yuu!" She hugs you.

Niji-chan:

>"Eientei, cmon !"
>Lead her there.
>"Who is that person ? Is she evil ?"

> You and Clowny change their way to Eientei.
> "... She's Megumi." Clownpiece says in an annoyed tone. "I really wish that I'm wrong and it's another person..."

Niji Golden:

>Do we feel any disturbances in the light arouns here ?

> No... but you feel that... someone besides all of you is near...

Kiku:

>"Looks like she's going to read something too."

> "Let's hope she... uh... doesn't find that other book."

Daiko:

>"Are you confused now? Or do you know what you want?"

> "... I know that I... want to know..." Kokoro nods subtly.
> _

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>Nod.

Daiko:

>"Then go on..."

[Monarda]

Niji Green:

>Hug her back.
>"So cute...."

Niji-chan:

>"What is she ? And why can't we see her ?"

Niji Golden:

>"Well, then i guess you aren't interesting."

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>Nod.

> Koa looks at Blue. "Uhm... Why the other was trying to hear something...?"

Daiko:

>"Then go on..."

> Kyouko gets out of the water and sits down in the edge of the pool.
> Kokoro approaches.
> "... How do I do this?"
> "Well... Your hand or..." Kyouko gestures to her mouth.
> "... Does it taste good?"
> "H-How you want me to know?!"
> "..." Kokoro looks down to her. "... Alright then."
> Kokoro gets closer.
> Kyouko closes her eyes, frowning a bit.

Niji Green:

>Hug her back.
>"So cute...."

> "Yuu~." She says in a happy tone. Yuudachi breaks it afterwards. "Yuu!" Her hand points to Bastet. "Yuu yu, yuyu yuu!" She jingles her arms and smiles.

Niji-chan:

>"What is she ? And why can't we see her ?"

> "... Megumi is... a devil from Hell. She was one of the subordinates of Master." Clownpiece looks at you. "She left long time ago and since then I didn't know where she was... but I remember really well how much I hate her."

Niji Golden:

>"Well, then i guess you aren't interesting."

> "Oh, yes. I'm Ms. Nobody." She giggles.
> Kaguya glances at Reisen.
> As if knowing what she wants, the rabbit nods and her eyes glow red.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Ponder what made Niji capable of being multiple of her selves...

Kiku:

>Shrug.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Ponder what made Niji capable of being multiple of her selves...

> You think that Niji's bracelet has something to do with her being able to divide herself...
> "D-Daiko..." Kyouko opens an eye to look at you. "D-Don't float there doing nothing..."

Kiku:

>Shrug.

> You reach another door. It's next to the one from where Blue is, and from where Green had her ear stick in the door.
> _

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>Listen in as well for a bit.

Daiko:

>"Which one of you?"

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>Listen in as well for a bit.

> You listen a bit...
> "... What are we going to do?"
> "What do you mean?"
> "I-If we can't return..."
> "We will return..."
> "But it was closed! The gate was closed!"
> "Maybe it has something to do when the place starts shaking?"

Daiko:

>"Which one of you?"

> "Y-You heard Kokoro... she just wants to see..." She beckons you. "S-So come here already..."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Float over.

Kiku:

>"Hm..."

[Monarda]

Niji Green:

>"What now ? Wanna try walking ?"

Niji Golden:

>Let's buy time.
>"So how are you ?"

Niji-chan:

>"A devil ? Like the knes from Makai ?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Float over.

> You float to them.
> "G-Give him space, Kokoro..."
> Kokoro, without stopping, moves to the side a bit.
> "There..."

Kiku:

>"Hm..."

> "What is it?"

Niji Green:

>"What now ? Wanna try walking ?"

> "Yuu!" She raises her arms up.

Niji Golden:

>Let's buy time.
>"So how are you ?"

> You decide to wait for Clownpiece and Niji to arrive.
> "Me? I'm completely fine... How are you, fairy?"
> "She isn't here..." Reisen whispers as she looks around, her eyes still glowing.

Niji-chan:

>"A devil ? Like the knes from Makai ?"

> "More or less." Clownpiece replies.
> You are near the bamboo forest.
> "She has the ability to manipulate at will the shadows." Clownpiece explains. "And I think she's capable of more..."
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Golden:

>Absorb as much light as we can from the moonlightt.
>"I'm fine too, the name is Niji, the fairy of light."

Niji Green:

>"Okay !"
>Set her down carefully and hold her hands, so that she is standing.

Niji-chan:

>"We can't see her, but we can hear her."

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>"Sounds like some people related to the shaking..."

Daiko:

>Gently use our hand as we see desirable...

[Tashi]

Niji Golden:

>Absorb as much light as we can from the moonlightt.
>"I'm fine too, the name is Niji, the fairy of light."

> You start to absorb light that is bathing everyone right now.
> "Oh. My name is Megumi." She says.

Niji Green:

>"Okay !"
>Set her down carefully and hold her hands, so that she is standing.

> You hold Yuudachi's hands as you put her in the floor.
> Yuudachi looks up to you, waiting.

Niji-chan:

>"We can't see her, but we can hear her."

> "... She's probably using the shadows to communicate from a far away place." Clownpiece nods. "It must be feel that she is around, but in truth she isn't."

> "... Hm... Is Clownpiece heading this way, by any means...?" Megumi's voice asks.

Kiku:

>"Sounds like some people related to the shaking..."

> "R-Really?" Koa thinks for a moment. "We should ask them tomorrow about it..."

Daiko:

>Gently use our hand as we see desirable...

> You use your hand as more you see fit.
> Kyouko closes her eyes again to make sure to enjoy as much as she can. Her tail is wagging back and forth.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Continue.

Kiku:

>Nod.

[Monarda]

Niji Golden:

>"Uhm, she did say that she needed to investigate stuff about the moon... why ?"

Niji-chan:

>Quietly.
>"She noticed us it seems."

Niji Green:

>"Okay, now try to support your own weight with your legs, get an good footing on the ground."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Continue.

Kiku:

>Nod.

> You keep going.
> Kyouko shows how much she likes it.
> "You guys are incredibleee..." She says between her sighs.

> Koa grabs the handle of the empty room. "Shall we?"

Niji Golden:

>"Uhm, she did say that she needed to investigate stuff about the moon... why ?"

Niji-chan:

>Quietly.
>"She noticed us it seems."

> "Oh? Is that so...?" She giggles. "Oh my. Hecatia surely has plenty trust in her..."

> The voice of Megumi can be heard by you too.
> "Dammit..." Clownpiece frowns. "It was better if you didn't told that to her..."

Niji Green:

>"Okay, now try to support your own weight with your legs, get an good footing on the ground."

> Yuudachi nods and looks at her legs.
> She moves them a bit as she feels the floor with them.
> She looks at you again.
> _

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>Nod.

Daiko:

>Glance over at Kokoro as we continue.

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>Nod.

Daiko:

>Glance over at Kokoro as we continue.

> Koa opens the door and looks around a bit. "Excuse me..." She enters.

> Kokoro isn't doing the same of you, but instead her mouth. She has her eyes closed while doing it.
> "K... Keep..." Kyouko barely says.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Golden:

>"So anyways, were you the one causing the darkness around here ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Why ? Aren't you both under Hecatia's command ?"

Niji Green:

>Gently lower our arms.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Continue.

[Tashi]

Niji Golden:

>"So anyways, were you the one causing the darkness around here ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Why ? Aren't you both under Hecatia's command ?"

> "... Yes, it was me."
> "The hell do you want?" Mokou asks.
> "I'm just passing the time, killjoys. As far as I'm concerned, nothing harmful was done..."
> "I almost tripped..."

> "Under her command? Oh, that was in the past. She isn't my master anymore. My allegiance is for someone else now."
> "Well, I'm glad for that, moron." Clownpiece frowns annoyed.

Niji Green:

>Gently lower our arms.

> You lower your arms slowly.
> Yuudachi starts slowly to do the motion of walking, albeit a bit dumb.

Daiko:

>Continue.

> You continue, until Kyouko reaches her limit.
> Kokoro opens her eyes, but doesn't separate.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Hmm, but what would that person have that Hecatia doesn't ?"

Niji Green:

>Be ready to aid.

Niji Golden:

>"...does that person want anything with the Lake ?"

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Stop.

Kiku:

>Follow Koa.

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"Hmm, but what would that person have that Hecatia doesn't ?"

Niji Golden:

>"...does that person want anything with the Lake ?"

> "Niji..."
> "Hecatia is not a problem. In fact, I liked being her servant... but I'm the type of devil that like different things from time to time..." She giggles.

> "Hmm... Who knows~..."
> "... This girl is irritating me..." Mokou says.
> "Calm down..." Keine reassures. "Please, can you stop this? No one is harming you..."
> "... I guess I can do that." Megumi replies.

Niji Green:

>Be ready to aid.

> You are ready to catch.
> Yuudachi does tiny and slow steps. She looks up to Bastet and smiles. "Yuu!" She trips. "Y-Yuu!"
> You are able to catch her.

Daiko:

>Stop.

Kiku:

>Follow Koa.

> You stop.
> "N-No! Kokoro! S-Stooop!"
> Kokoro didn't stopped her job.
> "You are going to drive me crazyyy!" Kyouko breaths heavily between sighs.

> You follow Koakuma inside the room.
> She closes the door.
> "... It was a looong day..." She sits down in the bed. "So many things happened..."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Wait a moment or two.

Kiku:

>"Yea... The sauna was nice, right?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Wait a moment or two.

Kiku:

>"Yea... The sauna was nice, right?"

> You wait...
> Kyouko quickly reaches another limit.
> And this time, Kokoro stops slowly.
> Kyouko is trembling, panting.

> "Absolutely." She nods and smiles. "It was a great way to relax..."
> _
