[Monarda]

Niji Blue:

>"I think you underestimate him... i don't remember you thinking about him in this way last time... did something happen ?"
>Look worried.

Niji Scarlet:

>"Miss Byakuku knew something about it, she said someone really smart made it, like far in their studies."

Niji White:

>"Hehe."
>The hair is like a magneeeeeet.

Niji Red:

>So ?

Niji-chan:

>"Daiko-kun, did something happen between you and Kokoro-chan ?"

[Neovereign]

Mysty-V!Daiko:

>"Just us talking in here you know..."

Daiko:

>"Huh? What do you mean?"

[Monarda]

//Also, remember Niji doesn't know about Kira either. :v

Niji-chan:

>"Miss Miko is acting different regarding you now..."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Well, there have been some moments where Kokoro showed emotions, like smiling, when I think she normally doesn't, or uses her masks for those..."
>Where are we and the children now?

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>"I know, i meant other things that could make Miss Miko confused."

[Tashi]

Mysty-V!Daiko:

>"Just us talking in here you know..."

> "I know..." She starts to kiss your cheek continuously. "I k-no-w..."She says between kisses. "Hehe..."

Niji-chan:

>"Daiko-kun, did something happen between you and Kokoro-chan ?"

Daiko:

>"Huh? What do you mean?"

//Also, remember Niji doesn't know about Kira either. :v

Niji-chan:

>"Miss Miko is acting different regarding you now..."

> "Yuu?" Yuudachi looks at you, confused.

Daiko:

>"Well, there have been some moments where Kokoro showed emotions, like smiling, when I think she normally doesn't, or uses her masks for those..."
>Where are we and the children now?

> "M-Miko... is acting different...?" Kyouko looks down again. "Oh boy..."
> Mystia looks sad.
> You and the others are still guiding the children out of Muenzuka. You are making sure they don't ran into the red lillies, since they are poisonous...
> Tsuru and Niji Gray stayed at CUH. Megumi is following your group as well. Seija is nowhere to be seen.

Niji-chan:

>"I know, i meant other things that could make Miss Miko confused."

> "Or mad..." Kyouko mumbles.

Niji Blue:

>"I think you underestimate him... i don't remember you thinking about him in this way last time... did something happen ?"
>Look worried.

> "Sorry, but I'm not the one to tell you about something like that." Miko replies firmly.

Niji Scarlet:

>"Miss Byakuku knew something about it, she said someone really smart made it, like far in their studies."

> "That Buddhist? Ah..." Remilia rests her face in the table.

Niji White:

>"Hehe."
>The hair is like a magneeeeeet.

> It's just so good. When it's dry and combed it's like touching the paradise of fluffyness with your very own hands...
> "Say..." Marry starts. "Would you like to have similar hair?"

Niji Red:

>So ?

> You are leaving Nitori's room. She's asleep... and you are booored.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"There's the thing with the ears... But we undid it already. I don't think it'd be anything major..."

V!Daiko:

>"Hehe. So, the work? Or, should we be handling one problem at a time? Finish with helping the villagers first?"

[Monarda]

Niji Blue:

>"Huh... i don't get it then, i was inside him hours ago, and i could see clear as day how strongly he felt with Kokoro-chan near him, just like how she started display emotions herself, Daiko-kun started being more strong-willed, had it not been for her, he would have gone back to being an shut-in."

Niji-chan:

>Pet Yuudachi.
>"Don't worry honey."

Niji Red:

>Go outside.

Niji White:

>"Huh ? How ?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"There's the thing with the ears... But we undid it already. I don't think it'd be anything major..."

V!Daiko:

>"Hehe. So, the work? Or, should we be handling one problem at a time? Finish with helping the villagers first?"

> "Then it must be for something else..." Kyouko takes your hand. "... and probably I know what..."

> "Let's solve this situation first. After all, I still have to show you that "special" thing Kyouko and I learned."

Niji Blue:

>"Huh... i don't get it then, i was inside him hours ago, and i could see clear as day how strongly he felt with Kokoro-chan near him, just like how she started display emotions herself, Daiko-kun started being more strong-willed, had it not been for her, he would have gone back to being an shut-in."

> Miko doesn't answer.
> "Okay..." Keine returns. "Don't worry, Orino. Ray and Jessica are in their way..."
> The woman smiles. "... I'm so glad..."

Niji-chan:

>Pet Yuudachi.
>"Don't worry honey."

> You pet the do-
> She isn't in your arms. She's sitting at your shoulder.

Niji Red:

>Go outside.

> You exit Nitori's room.
> There are kappas in this hallway, chatting. They give you some looks when you leave the room.

Niji White:

>"Huh ? How ?"

> "Appropiate care, keeping it always clean..." Marry to herself. "... and me giving you a good combing."

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Can I bring Kyouko here as well? We could probably discuss it in here until then."

Daiko:

>"Maybe I should take things more seriously sometimes then..."
>Sigh.

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"Can I bring Kyouko here as well? We could probably discuss it in here until then."

Daiko:

>"Maybe I should take things more seriously sometimes then..."
>Sigh.

> V!Mystia nods.

> Kyouko only holds you tighter.
> You and the others exit Muenzuka.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>Bring Kyouko into the vision.
>"We can talk more privately in here as well..."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>Bring Kyouko into the vision.
>"We can talk more privately in here as well..."

> You communicate with Kyouko as well.
> "... W-Was this a bad idea...?" Kyouko questions, hugging you.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"If you mean after Mysty left... maybe..."
>Turn to V!Mysty.
>"So... we still said we were going to enjoy the pool after you left, Mysty..."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"If you mean after Mysty left... maybe..."
>Turn to V!Mysty.
>"So... we still said we were going to enjoy the pool after you left, Mysty..."

> "Yes, you said that..." V!Mystia nods.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Well, we didn't have any swimsuits, so... We got in as we were..."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"Well, we didn't have any swimsuits, so... We got in as we were..."

> "... Uh-huh..."
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Um, things went further than kissing, b-but not to THAT point... There's no way things will get to that point so soon."

[Monarda]

Niji Blue:

>"Anyways, i dunno what happened between you, but i didn't see anything bad happen at home that day, they were all happy."
>Look puzzled.

Niji-chan:

>"Cmon Daiko-kun, tell me, what happened between you two that would make Miss Miko act this differently ?"

Niji White:

>"Ohhhh..."

Niji Red:

>Sigh and smile a bit, then let her rest in there.

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"Um, things went further than kissing, b-but not to THAT point... There's no way things will get to that point so soon."

> "... Y-You guys really like to do certain things, huh? Especially you, Kyouko..." V!Mystia blushes.
> "S-Sorry for the sudden... uh... "thing" I did it to you there, Misty..." Kyouko scratches her ear.
> "I-In plain sight... T-Thank god Kiku already left when you started with that..."

Niji Blue:

>"Anyways, i dunno what happened between you, but i didn't see anything bad happen at home that day, they were all happy."
>Look puzzled.

> "Hm?" Keine looks at you. "What are you talking about?"
> "Nothing, Keine. Just something." Miko replies.
> Byakuren stays silent.
> "Uh... Fine then..."

Niji-chan:

>"Cmon Daiko-kun, tell me, what happened between you two that would make Miss Miko act this differently ?"

> "N-Not now, Niji..." Kyouko says.

Niji White:

>"Ohhhh..."

> "Would you like it?" She smiles. "Like that we can let time pass away..."

Niji Red:

>Sigh and smile a bit, then let her rest in there.

> After a quick sigh and a smile, you let Nitori rest, closing her door.
> The kappas keep chatting, but they give you some glances.

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"I'll ask if she's still... irked, by me from yesterday..."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"I'll ask if she's still... irked, by me from yesterday..."

> ":.." Kyouko looks up to you. "... It was a good idea after all, Daiko? Us... being together..."
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"I do think so."
>Nod.
>"And I still do now. For all of us."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"I do think so."
>Nod.
>"And I still do now. For all of us."

> V!Kyouko hugs you tighter.
> V!Mystia joins.

> The army kids and your group exit the Road of Reconsideration.
> "Oookay..." Megumi starts. "I'm leaving nooow~."
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>Return the hug.

Kiku:

>"To the Scarlet Devil Mansion?"

[Monarda]

Niji Blue:

>Look to Byakuku.
>"You didn't say anything to defend him either Miss Byakuku, why ? Please don't tell me you also think he isn't worthy..."

Niji-chan:

>"Miss Kyouko, i need to know what is it, i can't just let them behave like that and not defend Daiko-kun..."

Niji Red:

>Make an light sphere out of funsies.

Niji White:

>"Huh... but i want it to be smooth... and not really fluffy."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>Return the hug.

Kiku:

>"To the Scarlet Devil Mansion?"

> You hug both of them too.
> "... We'll do our best." V!Kyouko says.

> "I guess that's clear, isn't it?"

Niji Blue:

>Look to Byakuku.
>"You didn't say anything to defend him either Miss Byakuku, why ? Please don't tell me you also think he isn't worthy..."

> Byakuren is silent for some seconds. "... He didn't looked at my eyes."

Niji-chan:

>"Miss Kyouko, i need to know what is it, i can't just let them behave like that and not defend Daiko-kun..."

> Kyouko doesn't say anything. She just looks to the side.
> "Yuuu..." Yuudachi frowns sadly.

Niji Red:

>Make an light sphere out of funsies.

> You make a red light sphere.
> The kappas start whispering to each other, before three of them looking at the fourth of their group. Said kappa jumps a bit, before they push her towards you.
> The kappa almost trips, before recompose herself. She looks at you, a bit nervous.
> "Uh... Hello..." She waves a bit.

Niji White:

>"Huh... but i want it to be smooth... and not really fluffy."

> "Well, I can do that too." Marry smiles and points to the chair. "Want me to make your hair beautiful?"

Niji Blue:

>"...that's it ? That's your entire basis for not defending him ?"
>Look upset.
>"The guy hasn't even been out for an week yet, and you only look at that mild factor ? Look, you can't expect him to do everything exactly the way you want him to do, he already has to deal with enough problems, he has to take care of all of us, he has to find an job to deal with our monetary shortage, he has to deal with the fact his mother went so far as to knock him unconscious when he tried to foresee her future to avoid being found, he wants to find two people that is missing for years and years, and above it all, he wants to make Kokoro-chan happy, if keeping an will to go on will all these tasks and even accepting more of them isn't an strong enough of an conviction, then i dunno what other kind of herculean task you desire him to do..."
>Take some breaths.
>".............sorry about that... but seriously, i thought that you of all people would know to not judge someone over just a few of their actions..."

Niji Red:

>"Hi there."
>Smile and wave.

Niji-chan:

>Pet Yuudachi.
>"Sorry Yuudachi..."

Niji Scarlet:

>Try focusing on our bracelet to find these new magics.

Niji White:

>Nod.

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>Follow.

V!Daiko:

>Nod.

> You wonder what type is...

> Byakuren calmly waits for you to finish. "... I'm afraid... that Kokoro-chan might not be happy..." She says. "... When he looked away when I addressed him... I started doubting about if he is able to do such a feat... I felt as if he wanted to have a relationship with Kokoro-chan in secret, not wanting her... "parents" to discover it..." The monk looks sad. "... The least emotion I want Kokoro-chan to feel the most... is sorrow..."
> Miko closes her eyes. "It might only be my opinion... but if you want me to acknowledge their romance, then yes, a "herculean" task must be done. Don't misundertand me, HE IS a good guy... but Kokoro-chan is special. Special for me and for Hijiri. And for other people, if I recall correctly..." She looks at you. "When someone is that special for you, everything concerning that person worries you, even the smallest detail, even when they are really trivial."

Niji Red:

>"Hi there."
>Smile and wave.

> You smile and wave at her. The other kappas start whispering to each other.
> "U-Uhm..." She moves a bit. "... D-Did you really passed the last night in Nitori's room...?"

Niji-chan:

>Pet Yuudachi.
>"Sorry Yuudachi..."

> You pe-
> ... She isn't in your shoulder... but now in your arms...
> "Yuu..." She looks down.

Niji Scarlet:

>Try focusing on our bracelet to find these new magics.

> You focus in your bracelet...
> Woah, woah, WOAH! What is happening!
> Your head hurts a bit, and your bracelet is trembling slightly...

Niji White:

>Nod.

> Marry smiles and walks to the back of the chair. She waits for you.

Kiku:

>Follow.

V!Daiko:

>Nod.

> You fo-
