Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 9

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"We should tell the others and share this information."

> "YOU do." Aya clarifies. "Remember, I don't have to get caught... I don't want to."

Daiko:

>"Oh... Byakuren didn't seem worried about it at the time... But maybe Miko has been... I think I'll contact her."
>IkoVision Miko, but keep our eyes closed as to not see something we shouldn't, if we're doing this at an improper time.
>(Vision)"Excuse me? Miss Miko?"

> You IkoVision Mik-
> "Well, finally." Miko speaks in the pitch black place.  "I was wondering when you were going to contact me."

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Er... Morning...There's a lot going on right now...If you could come to the lake, I'll deal with the ears to start..."

Tsuru:

>"Of course. So what, do I just say from an anonymous source? Or that I found out on a whim?"

[Monarda]

//See ?

Niji-chan:

>Have some parts of us follow Marisa.
>"Hey ! Wait up ! You will ruin the whole plan that way !"

Niji Green:

>Nod faintly.
>"I dunno either..."

Kiku-chan:

>"You better catch up to her then."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"Er... Morning..."

> "Morning to you too." She replies in a severe, yet respectful tone. "I'm sorry if you don't have the time, but can you explain me something? Why Kokoro arrived at Senkai as calm as always... but having a pair of cat ears? She said you wished them for her... What's that all about?"

Tsuru:

>"Of course. So what, do I just say from an anonymous source? Or that I found out on a whim?"

> "From a crow. Don't you think it will be more convenient?" She says in a sarcastic tone. "No, seriously. Just say whatever you think it's the best option."

//See ?

Niji-chan:

>Have some parts of us follow Marisa.
>"Hey ! Wait up ! You will ruin the whole plan that way !"

> You let some light balls of yourself follow the speedy Marisa-gonzales.
> "No need to worry!" Marisa keeps going.

Niji Green:

>Nod faintly.
>"I dunno either..."

Kiku-chan:

>"You better catch up to her then."

> Sakuya looks at Reimu.
> "Let's go." Reimu departs, and is followed by Alice and the maid.
> "Let's go too, Dai!" Cirno suggests.
> "Okay..."
> They follow too.
> "Thanks for the information, Wakasagihime." Mystia smiles.
> "My pleasure."

> (White) Marry opens her eyes. She jumps a bit when she sees you. "N-Niji-chan!"
> She turns to see you. "G-Good morning..."
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Well... guess we just into the bandwagon.
>Follow them too.

Niji Green:

>"I'll go too."
>Follow them.

Niji-chan:

>"But what if it is a trap ?!"
>Keep an eye on those two too, anything ?

Nijisa:

>So ?

V. Daiko-kun:

>"Well... it's a bit complicated, we were testing an ability of one of our family members, which is to grant someone's wishes, Kokoro's cat ears were one that we came up with, i forgot about it sorry..."

Daiko-kun:

>"Hey ! Wait up !"
>Follow them too ?

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>Well... guess we just into the bandwagon.
>Follow them too.

Niji Green:

>"I'll go too."
>Follow them.

Daiko-kun:

>"Hey ! Wait up !"
>Follow them too ?

> All of you follow the group headed to Muenzuka.
> Mystia, Kyouko and Sakura do the same thing.

Niji-chan:

>"But what if it is a trap ?!"
>Keep an eye on those two too, anything ?

> "Naaah. If that's it, then I will sneak in!"
> A red fog is starting to be seen as you two advance...

> Kurumi is leaving. She has her look down.
> Seija departs too.

Nijisa:

>So ?

> You and Sanae can see Kurumi and Seija.

V. Daiko-kun:

>"Well... it's a bit complicated, we were testing an ability of one of our family members, which is to grant someone's wishes, Kokoro's cat ears were one that we came up with, i forgot about it sorry..."

> "And you decided to experiment with Kokoro fooor...?"
> _

[Monarda]

V. Daiko-kun:

>"I think the four of us did it just to pass time, nothing more... anyways, do you know about what happened to the village ?"

Nijisa:

>"There they are, they were talking a while ago for something... but Miss Marisa is way ahead of us, cmon."
>Keep leading her after that Marisa !

Niji Green:

>Stop, we should keep an eye on the Mansion.
>Go back and stand guard.

Niji-chan:

>Keep an eye on both of them too.
>"Look Miss Marisa, approaching that place without a plan is just silly, look, there is even some magical mist there."

[Tashi]

V. Daiko-kun:

>"I think the four of us did it just to pass time, nothing more... anyways, do you know about what happened to the village ?"

> "Don't get away of the top-... What?"

Nijisa:

>"There they are, they were talking a while ago for something... but Miss Marisa is way ahead of us, cmon."
>Keep leading her after that Marisa !

> You follow the road that Marisa followed... which Seija is following ahead of you.

Niji Green:

>Stop, we should keep an eye on the Mansion.
>Go back and stand guard.

> You return to the SDM. Elly is at the entrance, and Meiling is now there.
> "Hm?" Meiling looks at you.

Niji-chan:

>Keep an eye on both of them too.
>"Look Miss Marisa, approaching that place without a plan is just silly, look, there is even some magical mist there."

> "You know..." Marisa slow down, but she keeps going. "... that this place is like this, right? We are at Muenzuka right now."
> You think you saw some kind of... blur here and there...
> _

[Neovereign]

//Guh. Damn my unavailability... Now we can't really meet up with Kokoro and Miko because we're leaving for Muenzuka right after telling her to meet at the lake...
V!Daiko:

>"Well, it wasn't really passing the time. We were interested in if something could work. It could be VERY helpful now that we know and I'll undo it now. I did want it to be something else instead of something that changes someone though. And again, there is something going on in the village right now. We're investigating it.

Daiko:

>"Mysti? Kyouko? Could one of you wish for Kokoro's cat ears to be undone?"
>Assess our group.

Tsuru:

>Nod.
>"I hope things look up and go well for you Aya..."
>Head back for the lake (and towards the group if we spot them leaving).

[Monarda]

//it's kinda hard to keep up with each other...

Niji Green:

>"I'll be keeping guard too."

Niji-chan:

>"Well Seija is heading here too... did you also see that ?"
>Keep an eye on Seija, our surroundings and Kurumi.

Nijisa:

>"She is going there too..."

Kiku-chan:

>"I can wish for it."
>Wish for Kokoro-chan to go back to her normal self.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Try to grant Kiku's wish.

[Tashi]

//it's kinda hard to keep up with each other...

//It's going to get worse...

//Guh. Damn my unavailability... Now we can't really meet up with Kokoro and Miko because we're leaving for Muenzuka right after telling her to meet at the lake...
V!Daiko:

>"Well, it wasn't really passing the time. We were interested in if something could work. It could be VERY helpful now that we know and I'll undo it now. I did want it to be something else instead of something that changes someone though. And again, there is something going on in the village right now. We're investigating it.

> "I'd like if you don't use Kokoro to experiment with your things, even if they are good things. Thanks." Miko sighs. "Aside of that... What's happening in the village?"

Daiko:

>"Mysti? Kyouko? Could one of you wish for Kokoro's cat ears to be undone?"
>Assess our group.

> Right now your group consist of Mystia, Kyouko, Kiku, Sakuya, Sakura, Reimu, Alice and her dolls.
> "I will-"

Kiku-chan:

>"I can wish for it."
>Wish for Kokoro-chan to go back to her normal self.

> "Or not." Kyouko scratches her head.
> You wish for Kokoro to not have cat ears.

Daiko:

>Try to grant Kiku's wish.

> And you try to grant it...
> ...
> You don't feel any change at all.

> (Bastet) You do.

Tsuru:

>Nod.
>"I hope things look up and go well for you Aya..."
>Head back for the lake (and towards the group if we spot them leaving).

> "... I don't see my future so bright..." Aya mumbles, before you depart to the lake.
> You notice that everyone is leaving you, so you follow them quickly.

Niji Green:

>"I'll be keeping guard too."

> Meiling glances at Elly.
> "Niji." Elly speaks. "It's a relative of Kiku and Daiko, I think."
> "Oh." Meiling smiles. "Nice to meet you."

Niji-chan:

>"Well Seija is heading here too... did you also see that ?"
>Keep an eye on Seija, our surroundings and Kurumi.

> "Her? And what do you mean?" Marisa asks, looking around. "... Oh, I think I know what you mean. That "blur" happens because we are very near the Hakurei Barrier... I think."

> Your other light parts see that Kurumi is returning to the SDM. She's probably going to meet with the others.

Nijisa:

>"She is going there too..."

> "Maybe she's going to watch..." Sanae thinks.
> Seija glance at both of you with a smile and keeps going.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Sorry... There... seems to be an incident though. The children of the village have gone missing, and from what we've gathered, it seems to be the work of a vampire at a mansion. However, Remilia's been ruled off as someone not involved. In fact, we have great evidence that suspects another vampire, whom we're trying to get to...

V!Daiko:

> "The children?" Miko thinks. "... The people are mad, isn't it?"
> _

[Monarda]

V. Daiko-kun:

>"Yes... and someone framed the Scarlets for it, so if we don't solve this soon, horrible things will happen... that's why i couldn't contact you earlier..."

Bastet-chan:

>How do we feel ?

Niji Green:

>Nod.
>"Anyways, we found out an clue as to where the culprits are."

Nijisa:

>"That doesn't feel well to me... that smile of hers is unsettling... good thing Marisa and Niji-chan are already there."

Niji-chan:

>"So... Seija is coming here, she saw Miss Sanae and Nijisa coming here too... should we take her down ? I don't like her smile..."
>Keep an close eye on Seija.

[Tashi]

V. Daiko-kun:

>"Yes... and someone framed the Scarlets for it, so if we don't solve this soon, horrible things will happen... that's why i couldn't contact you earlier..."

> V!Miko remains silent. "... I will help to calm them down."

Bastet-chan:

>How do we feel ?

> Really tired... This sucks... You feel being used...

Niji Green:

>Nod.
>"Anyways, we found out an clue as to where the culprits are."

> "Oh?" Meiling tilts her head. "Really?"

Nijisa:

>"That doesn't feel well to me... that smile of hers is unsettling... good thing Marisa and Niji-chan are already there."

> "... It's like she's anticipating something..." Sanae frowns.

Niji-chan:

>"So... Seija is coming here, she saw Miss Sanae and Nijisa coming here too... should we take her down ? I don't like her smile..."
>Keep an close eye on Seija.

> "If she attacks, then I will take care of her. Until then, I will keep doing my work."
> Marisa keeps going at more speed.
> The place is full of red lillies...
> The fog is thicker.

> Seija keeps following.

> (Daiko, Tsuru, Kiku) As you head to Muenzuka, you meet Kurumi at the way.
> "Lady Kurumi!" Sakuya calls.
> "Ah!"
> _

[Neovereign]

Bastet:

>Where are we?

Tsuru:

>"Their surname might be Charite. The family in the mansion here."

Kiku + Daiko:

>"Huh?"

Tsuru:

>Fly over to Daiko.
>"You should probably keep an eye on her."
>Tip fedora.
>"She says she doesn't see her future so bright..."

Daiko:

>Ponder for a moment.
>"Oh..."
>IkoVision that disguised girl we've been helping, who had Tsuru's fedora before.

[Monarda]

Niji Green:

>Nod.

Nijisa:

>"Can't you use a miracle to find out what is she planning or to put her to sleep ?"

Niji-chan:

>"I dunno Marisa... i have a bad feeling about this..."
>Keep an eye on our surroundings and on those 2 closely.

[Tashi]

Bastet:

>Where are we?

> You are at the village with Blue.
> Keine and Byakuren seem to have calmed down the crowd of angry people... a bit, at least.

Tsuru:

>"Their surname might be Charite. The family in the mansion here."

Kiku + Daiko:

>"Huh?"

> "Is that true, Lady Kurumi?"
> "H-How I might know?"
> "You were talking with Seija..." Alice says.
> "... That's because they have been watching us... I just wanted to see if they can stop already..." Kurumi looks down.

Tsuru:

>Fly over to Daiko.
>"You should probably keep an eye on her."
>Tip fedora.
>"She says she doesn't see her future so bright..."

Daiko:

>Ponder for a moment.
>"Oh..."
>IkoVision that disguised girl we've been helping, who had Tsuru's fedora before.

> The events lately haven't been in favor of Aya, specially about her... uh... "romantical" ones. Maybe something else happened to her?
> You IkoVision the disguised Aya, this time without the hat.
> "... Yes?" V!Aya ask.

Niji Green:

>Nod.

> "I saw that Sakuya went with the others... I guess they are going to resolve this once and for all."
> "Yea. I don't like the idea of all the villager being here, trying to repel us away..." Elly comments.

Nijisa:

>"Can't you use a miracle to find out what is she planning or to put her to sleep ?"

> "I would need to stay still and prepare the miracle... And besides, I can't just use miracles all the time." Sanae explains.
> The fog thickens.

Niji-chan:

>"I dunno Marisa... i have a bad feeling about this..."
>Keep an eye on our surroundings and on those 2 closely.

> "Truuust me. Everything is o-"
> Marisa goes silent as both of you suddenly exit the massive amount of mist here... and Marisa widens her eyes to what she's seeing.
> "... It was true..."

> (Red) "... Niji..." Someone, maybe Nitori, nudges in your sleep. "Niiijiii..."
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>And what are we seeing ?
>Once done, describe it to the others near Kurumi with our fragments over there.

Niji Red:

>Get up.

Niji Green:

>"...."
>Describe what Niji-chan sees to our companions too.

Niji Blue:

>Do the same.

[Neovereign]

Aya-V!Daiko:

>"You alright? How have things been going?"

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>And what are we seeing ?
>Once done, describe it to the others near Kurumi with our fragments over there.

Niji Green:

>"...."
>Describe what Niji-chan sees to our companions too.

Niji Blue:

>Do the same.

> This is a really big clear in this "Muenzuka" place. There are cherry trees only to make the view more beautiful, and lets not forget about the red lillies.
> And in front of your eyes is it. There is the big, purple and black mansion which all of you have been searching for. It has a really big and diverse garden. (To give the players an idea, just search any "French Mansion". See it the way you most like it.) There's also an big active fountain in front of the mansion.
> You can see a panel with a writing at the outer wall: "Charite Uncanny Household".
> Marisa immediately stops and jumps in the snow from her broom. "Sneaky time..." She grins.

> You tell the others about what you saw.
> "... Charite Uncanny Household?" Sakuya asks.
> "Lets not lose any time!" Reimu follows the road.
> Everyone follows.
> "Be careful!" Kurumi warns. "You don't know what they might do!"

> "... Charite... Uncanny Household...?" Meiling asks.
> "... That sounds like Scarlet Devil Mansion..." Elly points out. "Curious..."

> "Huh?" Byakuren questions as you explain them. "You found the enemies?"
> "May I know what are you talking about?" Someone approaches.
> "Oh, Miko..."

Niji Red:

>Get up.

> You sit up again.
> "S-Sorry for waking you up again, but I need to know something..." Nitori says. "You think it's possible to stock that light you create?"

Aya-V!Daiko:

>"You alright? How have things been going?"

> "... I talked with Momi and Tate." V!Aya sighs.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"What did they say?"

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"What did they say?"

> "..." The tengu lets out a little chuckle. "You won't believe it... They want me to try a trio with them... A trio relationship, like any normal couple."
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>Smile.
>"What are you looking so down about? That's great isn't it?"

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>Smile.
>"What are you looking so down about? That's great isn't it?"

> V!Aya gives you a strange look. "... Except for the fact that Momiji and I aren't exactly at the best terms."
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Red:

>"Um... i'm not sure... i mean, you could try to store it on a battery as electricity, but as light... i don't think so..."

Niji-chan:

>Have the pieces with Marisa follow !
>"Good thing i am virtually untouchable like this... Yuudachi... where are you..."

Nijisa:

>Tell Sanae too about it.

Niji Blue:

>Nod.
>"We found this huge mansion on this Muenzuka place, i am sure that's where they were taken to ! Daiko and everyone else have been working real hard to figure it out... i just want Yuudachi back..."

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Oh..."
>Droop.
>"Well, have you considered ways to warm up to each other?"

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"Oh..."
>Droop.
>"Well, have you considered ways to warm up to each other?"

>"If you consider "warm up" as her trying to bite me and me trying to hit her... then yes, a lot."

Niji Red:

>"Um... i'm not sure... i mean, you could try to store it on a battery as electricity, but as light... i don't think so..."

> "Yes, as an electricity... but... as light doesn't sound so bad..." Nitori thinks. "... Okay. That might be all. You can keep resting."
> You notice that Nitori has eyebags.

Niji-chan:

>Have the pieces with Marisa follow !
>"Good thing i am virtually untouchable like this... Yuudachi... where are you..."

> You follow the now "sneaky" Marisa, who starts to approach to the mansion with caution.
> "This place looks really good... I wonder what kind of things I can borrow from here... Hehehe..."
> Seija exits the fog, being in the clear with both of you.

Nijisa:

>Tell Sanae too about it.

> You tell Sanae about the current situation.
> "Huh? So we were right!"

Niji Blue:

>Nod.
>"We found this huge mansion on this Muenzuka place, i am sure that's where they were taken to ! Daiko and everyone else have been working real hard to figure it out... i just want Yuudachi back..."

> "... Hm..." Miko thinks. "Lets leave it to them. We need to calm these people down..."
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"What has you two against each other so much?"
>Put an arm on her shoulder.
>"Me and my group are arriving at Muenzuka right now, so I can at least help you with this. Or even then, at least try to. I'd like to help you with this. Whether it's here and now, or later and another place."
