Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 8

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>Look for the books they had.

> You can see the books in a table, near the entrance.
> "L-Leaving books of those kind in place where everybody can see them..." Koa comments.

Tsuru:

>"M-Maybe...They're not actually done yet..."

Daiko:

>Float over and lean our back against the edge of the pool.
>Close our eyes and relax more.
>"Is that all about Yamabikos, Kyouko? What about your ears and tail?"

> "Well, you are right. There's still the Yamabiko."

> You get closer to the edge and you stick your back at it, closing your eyes to relax.
> "We have a, and not for bragging, beautiful voices to sing." Kyouko giggles. "And yea, the ears and the tail is also a plus."

Niji Golden:

>"Hey Miss Keine."
>Smile.

> "Good night..." Keine returns the smile.
> "You see, Keine... I changed! 'Cuz horns!" Sakura giggles.
> "Uh... I can see that..."
> Now that you note it, you can feel magic in this jumble of darkness.

Niji-chan:

>"Yeah, some place stopped receiving moonlight for some reason, and that place has people from the moon too."

> "Oh, those people... Well, I don't think it has something to do with that..." Clownpiece replies with a nod too. _{^{"I should tell Master about this, just to be sure."}}
> You think Mystia left a moment ago...

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

"VERY beautiful, you mean."

Kiku:

>"It's good we got here first."
>Take the books to one of the shelves.
>"They didn't really read it much..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

"VERY beautiful, you mean."

> "You didn't heard me sing yet, so that's a blind compliment, hehe."
> "You mean shouting..."
> "I sing AND shout." She giggles.

Kiku:

>"It's good we got here first."
>Take the books to one of the shelves.
>"They didn't really read it much..."

> You take the book and you place them in a shelf.
> "... Huh?" Koa says. "What's that?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"If you say you're good, I bet you're just being modest."

Kiku:

>"What?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"If you say you're good, I bet you're just being modest."

> "Okay, okay. I'm incredible." She grins. "What about you? ... What are you, to begin with? A... Yuki-oniman?"

Kiku:

>"What?"

> "..." Koa takes one of the books and frowns a bit to look at the writter. "I remember this writter... It was a really known one at Makai..."
> _

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>"There's books from Makai here?"

Daiko:

>Open our eyes.
>"Pretty much. Horn for Oni. It being like this for Yuki Onna, and, well, man."

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>"There's books from Makai here?"

> "As far as I know, she isn't originary of Makai; she is from the Outside World." Koa returns her look at it and show you. "Her books were so known that my home was able to heard about her and became really famous... She was one of my inspirations to become a writter..."

Daiko:

>Open our eyes.
>"Pretty much. Horn for Oni. It being like this for Yuki Onna, and, well, man."

> Kyouko laughs.
> "Hey, if you keep discovering more species in you, you will be no different from a Nue."
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Golden:

>"Don't worry ! She is still the same silly Sakura-sama, just less cute."
>Smile, then look confused.
>"This darkness... it's definitely caused by someone or something... i can feel magic from it."

Niji-chan:

>"So... how did you go to the moon ? I myself could just become pure light and travel there, but you can't do that..."

Kiku-chan:

>Look for the writer's name.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Well, if you count those who appeared in my body every so often, I might already be one. But they're their own people, and they have their own memories they have to remember... Still, I'm not sure what keeps making them appear. It hasn't happened recently, but I supposed earlier that it might have to do with Kokoro and the situations we've been in."
>Look over to her.
>"But it's starting to show that it's not that."

Kiku:

>Ponder a bit...
>Remember that Koa can have us explore books and glance over to those that we recently shelved.
>"A-Are they really good? Maybe we could visit it like you can do?"

[Tashi]

Niji Golden:

>"Don't worry ! She is still the same silly Sakura-sama, just less cute."
>Smile, then look confused.
>"This darkness... it's definitely caused by someone or something... i can feel magic from it."

> "Silly..." Sakura mumbles.
> "We already know that." Reisen glances at you.
> "Indeed. The magic is possibly caused by someone, since it doesn't feel natural. It doesn't have a pattern of appearance, either." The white haired woman explains. "Oh. And I'm Eirin."

Niji-chan:

>"So... how did you go to the moon ? I myself could just become pure light and travel there, but you can't do that..."

> "Milady takes me there." Clowny explains. "She has a body in the moon."

Kiku-chan:

>Look for the writer's name.

> You take a look at the name...
> Leiko "Lucy" Kochiya.

Kiku:

>Ponder a bit...
>Remember that Koa can have us explore books and glance over to those that we recently shelved.
>"A-Are they really good? Maybe we could visit it like you can do?"

> To think someone is really known to the extent that other worlds praise her job... It's quite impressive, to be honest.
> Also, you don't know why there's something strange about this person...
> You make a mental note that you have the possibility to explore the world of lewdness that is in the library of the SDM in the form of books.
> "They are..." Koa replies, before she jumps a bit. "I-It's not like I read this kind of books all the time... It's just, uh... occasional inspiration..."

Daiko:

>"Well, if you count those who appeared in my body every so often, I might already be one. But they're their own people, and they have their own memories they have to remember... Still, I'm not sure what keeps making them appear. It hasn't happened recently, but I supposed earlier that it might have to do with Kokoro and the situations we've been in."
>Look over to her.
>"But it's starting to show that it's not that."

> "... What if they decided to do so?" Kokoro asks.
> "Huh?"
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Huh ? A body there ? Like a clone ?"

Niji Golden:

>"The name is Niji, an light fairy from the outside world, nice to meet you."
>Nod.

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"Huh ? A body there ? Like a clone ?"

> "Most likely." Clownpiece nods. _{^{"But Milady is much cooler..."}}

Niji Golden:

>"The name is Niji, an light fairy from the outside world, nice to meet you."
>Nod.

> "Same." Eirin nods.
> "So... What do you exactly mean, Eirin?" Kaguya asks.
> "This magic, I can mostly ensure, is caused by someone. It doesn't have a feel that can do any harm, however."
> "I almost tripped with a bunch of dishes... THAT'S harmful..." Reisen whispers to herself.
> _

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>Do we know Sanae?
>Remember to tell Daiko about this. He's a bookworm. He's probably having his moment like Kyouko and Mystia had...

Daiko:

>Float over to Kokoro.
>"So, they could've come to me on purpose?"

Tsuru:

>"Huh..."
>Do we recall anything like that?
>Do we know anything more about being called Ruru?

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>Do we know Sanae?
>Remember to tell Daiko about this. He's a bookworm. He's probably having his moment like Kyouko and Mystia had...

> You do, since Daiko met her before you even leave the box. You didn't met her physically, however.
> You make a mental note to tell the Casanova about this. He might be busy right now...

Daiko:

>Float over to Kokoro.
>"So, they could've come to me on purpose?"

Tsuru:

>"Huh..."
>Do we recall anything like that?
>Do we know anything more about being called Ruru?

> "Yes, like... not having other option but to do so?" Kokoro shrugs.
> "That doesn't explain why they don't have memories of their past, however..."
> "Maybe they were aware of it, but did it anyway?"

> You don't...
> You only know that... it kinda makes you feel embarrased, as if you didn't like to be called like that. Childish...
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"Wait... 'Kochiya' ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Well then let's talk to her together, if i come along i can show that i intend to help and nothing else.'

Niji Golden:

>"At least for now... it can still harm us indirectly..."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"I'll try to see Bastet about it another time and see if she can grant a wish their memories."
>Start swimming.
>"A last effort attempt... Hm..."

Kiku:

>"You think they might be related to Sanae? Sanae Kochiya?"

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>Roam around.

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"Wait... 'Kochiya' ?"

> "Uh?" Koa looks at you. "What about it?"

Kiku:

>"You think they might be related to Sanae? Sanae Kochiya?"

> "Sanae... Kochiya...?" Koakuma thinks, before returning her attention to you. "N-Now that you say it... Yes, they have the same surname..."

Niji-chan:

>"Well then let's talk to her together, if i come along i can show that i intend to help and nothing else.'

> "Are you sure? Milady could be weird sometimes." Clownpiece thinks. "... Well, everyone is weird, so eh."

Niji Golden:

>"At least for now... it can still harm us indirectly..."

> "Like me tripping..."
> Keine clears her throat. "Should I do it?"
> "Please." Eirin nods.
> Keine nods too and walks away from the group to Eientei.

Daiko:

>"I'll try to see Bastet about it another time and see if she can grant a wish their memories."
>Start swimming.
>"A last effort attempt... Hm..."

> You swim across the pool.
> Kyouko does the same to follow you, but backwards.
> "The cat that grant wishes, huh..."
> "Wishes?" Kokoro asks.

Bastet-chan:

>Roam around.

> You start to convenientlywander around the house. Yuudachi is still in your hands.
> _

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>"Let's say some quotes from the book near her next time we get to. If she reacts strongly, then something's up. Otherwise, we can just ask."

Daiko:

>"Yea. I don't think I've seen her around recently though."

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>"Let's say some quotes from the book near her next time we get to. If she reacts strongly, then something's up. Otherwise, we can just ask."

> "Something's up... Like what?" Koa tilts her head with a frown.

Daiko:

>"Yea. I don't think I've seen her around recently though."

> "She left a while ago." Kyouko says.
> _

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>"Like if she's the same person. Or it's a relative."

Daiko:

>Swim on our back the rest of the way if we know how to.
>"So what are we doing after this? And how long do you guys want to be in here?"

[Monarda]

Bastet-chan:

>Pet the cute doll.
>"So you are like Niji-chan's little kid huh ?"

Niji Golden:

>"Miss Keine..."

Niji-chan:

>"Well... if she is weird, that almost makes her interesting."
>Smile.

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>"Like if she's the same person. Or it's a relative."

> "Possibly..." Koa thinks for a moment. "... You think she'll want to talk about it?"

Daiko:

>Swim on our back the rest of the way if we know how to.
>"So what are we doing after this? And how long do you guys want to be in here?"

> You don't know how to do it...
> "Sleep. I guess." Kyouko adds. "... No, wait. I have to return to the temple..."
> "I'd like to go to Senkai and see how is Mimiko."

Bastet-chan:

>Pet the cute doll.
>"So you are like Niji-chan's little kid huh ?"

> You pet Yuudachi, and she smiles at you.
> "Yuu!"

Niji Golden:

>"Miss Keine..."

> Keine stops and starts doing some motions with her hands in front of her, as if she's erasing something.
> You can feel some great energy near Keine.
> Suddenly, all the darkness fades away... and Eientei is nowhere to be seen.

Niji-chan:

>"Well... if she is weird, that almost makes her interesting."
>Smile.

> "Okay..." Clownpiece nods. "Master will come tomorrow to pick me up. I will tell her and we'll search for you. Where we can meet?"
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Golden:

>"So she erased Eientei from history ?"

Kiku-chan:

>"Maybe... maybe not... we won't know for sure til we try."

Niji-chan:

>"Well, i could make an clone of myself too and have her stay with you, that way she can take me there."

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>Shrug.
>"Let's bring the book with us for now if you wanna read it."

Daiko:

>Continue floating.
>"Ah... Say, how do you swim like that? Could you teach me."

Tsuru:

>Examine Kira.

[Tashi]

Niji Golden:

>"So she erased Eientei from history ?"

> "Much to my dislike, yes." Kaguya sighs.
> "More or less." Mokou approaches from where the mansion was before. "She "hide it"."
> "Can you make it appear, please? I don't want to be homeless princess."
> Keine nods in silence and she does more motions with her hand, as if writting something.
> The mansion suddenly start to reappear, this time without the darkness.
> Keine let's out a long sigh.

Kiku-chan:

>"Maybe... maybe not... we won't know for sure til we try."

Kiku:

>Shrug.
>"Let's bring the book with us for now if you wanna read it."

> Koakuma blushes. "I, uh... I'm fine like this..." She scratches her hair.

Niji-chan:

>"Well, i could make an clone of myself too and have her stay with you, that way she can take me there."

> Clownpiece thinks. "Well... that can work too... If you don't care about spending a night in the Hakurei Shrine, then I guess it's fine."

Daiko:

>Continue floating.
>"Ah... Say, how do you swim like that? Could you teach me."

Tsuru:

>Examine Kira.

> "You just have to make yourself be in a position as if you were going to float on your back, then start moving your arms backwards. Mover your legs as well." Kyouko explains while doing it.

> Kira is caged...
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Cautiously try to attempt it.

Tsuru:

>Watch Daiko's attempt.

Kiku:

>"Alright..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Cautiously try to attempt it.

Tsuru:

>Watch Daiko's attempt.

> You try to do it...
> It works.
> "Easy." Kyouko says.

> You watch as he swims.
> "Can you make this boxes disappear?" Kira asks.

Kiku:

>"Alright..."

> "... ... ..." Koa looks at it, frowning a bit, as if trying to decide herself. "... Y-You know what? I'm curious now..."
> _

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>"Hm?"

Daiko:

>"Huh... Nice."

Tsuru:

>"Y-Yea."
>Remove the extra boxes.

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>"Hm?"

> Koa puts the book under her arm.
> "... ... D-Don't look at me like that..." She looks away. "Since she's probably a relative of Sanae... it got my interest..."

Daiko:

>"Huh... Nice."

> "What is the deal with "wishes", again?" Kokoro asks.
> "Well, Bastet is a wish cat! Like a genie!"
> "Oh!" Kokoro says, before starting to think to herself. "So... she'll grant any wish I want if I rub her lamp? ... ... No, wait... If I rub her tail, then?"

Tsuru:

>"Y-Yea."
>Remove the extra boxes.

> You remove the boxes that Daiko added.
> "... I meant ALL of them."
