Daiyousei Quest - Greater Fairy: Part 9

[Suwako Moriya]

Indiana:

> Fire a series of icicles directly toward the vampire's current position, expecting we will have to warp them at some point because it is exceedingly unlikely the vampire will remain where she is.

Dai e:

> Anything's better than nothing, yeah. Where do we think Koishi is? (Relay this information verbally to Dai 5.)

Seija Dais, Dai 4:

> Let Seija and Shinny continue unimpeded.

[Monarda]

//What are we gonna do with the cheat items if we get them ?

[Suwako Moriya]

//Give them back. I know it doesn't really seem conducive to 'bettering' Seija, but the fact of the matter is that we took them (to keep them away from the thief, but still), and it's not good to steal from friends. I get the feeling Shinny and ourselves are going to be strong passive positive influences on Seija anyway, enough that she may use them less as time goes on, if not outright stop altogether. (Besides, we need to give her back her clothes, at least, even if they're in tatters.)

[Monarda]

//Maybe we try to make her promise to not use them for bad things anymore ? Yea it's a stretch but worth a shot.

[Neovereign]

Indiana:

> Fire a series of icicles directly toward the vampire's current position, expecting we will have to warp them at some point because it is exceedingly unlikely the vampire will remain where she is.

> You start to fire icicles, but before you can even finish, the vampire speeds towards you in a flash, as if she were in front of you the whole time. There's a brief noise of ice shattering, then you're painfully knocked off balance, not to mention how scary it looked for her to get right to you so quickly...

Dai e:

> Anything's better than nothing, yeah. Where do we think Koishi is? (Relay this information verbally to Dai 5.)

> You believe that Koishi is at the lake already, and tell Dai 5 this.

Seija Dais, Dai 4:

> Let Seija and Shinny continue unimpeded.

> Seija and Shinmyoumaru head to another room, where a dirty mattress can be seen. Shinmyoumaru takes her miracle mallet out of her robes.
> I wish this bed could be comfortable and better looking... Shinmyoumaru thinks.
> The mattress is transformed into a complete bed, including blanket and sheets, and looks better than the one you have at home.
> "Uh..." Seija pauses. This isn't right. "...It's a single bed."
> "Oh. Sorry. I forgot. Well, it'd be a waste to change it with the mallet's powers again..." Shinmyoumaru says, getting into the bed. This isn't what I expected, but it's better! I hope this goes right.
> "You want both of us to fit on there?" Seija asks. It's not gonna work.
> "Yup." Shinmyoumaru smiles back. Not gonna shrink- I mean take it back unless I really have to.
>_

[Suwako Moriya]

//We could suggest her away from doing bad things with them, but I think something along the lines of "Don't do bad stuff anymore or we won't give them back" is kinda sleazy and would rather not do it.

Indiana:

> Ah, crap! Regain our balance, and then look around for where the vampire went.
> Are we capable of making a wall of ice? If so, how quickly can we make it?

Dai 5:

> "Thanks!"
> Head back out of our house, closing the door behind us.
> Look out onto the lake crowd. Is Koishi visible?

Dai e:

> Go back to sleep.

Dai 4:

> Besides, if I can shrink using Daiyousei's power, Seija should be able to as well...

[Neovereign]

//We could suggest her away from doing bad things with them, but I think something along the lines of "Don't do bad stuff anymore or we won't give them back" is kinda sleazy and would rather not do it.

Indiana:

> Ah, crap! Regain our balance, and then look around for where the vampire went.
> Are we capable of making a wall of ice? If so, how quickly can we make it?

> You regain your balance, then look around. The mistress is flying away from you, but is ahead. Your back is against one of the arena's borders now.
> You can almost instantly create a large wall of ice if needed, but it would be very weak unless you took a few seconds to focus more.

Dai 5:

> "Thanks!"
> Head back out of our house, closing the door behind us.
> Look out onto the lake crowd. Is Koishi visible?

Dai e:

> Go back to sleep.

> You let Dai e return to sleep and exit your house, closing the door.
> You look to the crowd. Sakuya, Meiling, Orange, Hamiya, Suika, Dai 8. Ah there. Koishi has a bag with her, and she's sitting next to Dai 8.

Dai 4:

> Besides, if I can shrink using Daiyousei's power, Seija should be able to as well...

> "..." If we can both do that, then we could live in my house instead... but we still need to return the money... Shinmyoumaru thinks.
> "I don't know what you're waiting for." Seija says. "I'm not sleeping there too." It's way too small.
> "Come on Seija, please?" Shinmyoumaru asks.
> "Uh uh."
> "Please? It's just one night and no one else will even know. Could you do it for me? You owe me from being mean to me earlier." Shinmyoumaru says. "And lying about the Inchlings." I was really sad about that you know?
> "Ugh. Fine." Just once anyways. Seija gets into the bed, trying to keep her space from Shinmyoumaru. There hardly is any to do so however.
>_

[Suwako Moriya]

Indiana:

> Fly forward a little bit, then fire some stars behind us. If we see the vampire turn around to face us again, warp them behind her (from our perspective).

Dai 5:

> Keep our eyes glued on Koishi and start flying toward her.

Seija Dais, Dai 4:

> Let Seija and Shinny continue unimpeded.

[Neovereign]

Indiana:

> Fly forward a little bit, then fire some stars behind us. If we see the vampire turn around to face us again, warp them behind her (from our perspective).

> You fire some stars behind you after flying forward a bit. The vampire turns around to face you, as predicted, and you warp the shots behind her. They make contact, but she flinches much less than when the icicles hit her.
> The vampire takes out a spellcard, but apparently puts it back. She instead starts firing large orbs of danmaku in an arc from her left to her front, then to her right. They're pretty quick, and are followed by smaller orbs of danmaku and a large scattered amount of normal danmaku. You're already in danger of needing to dodge.

Dai 5:

> Keep our eyes glued on Koishi and start flying toward her.

> You keep your eyes on Koishi and start flying towards her. She has a happy expression on her face as she watches the battle. Her third eye is closed.

Seija Dais, Dai 4:

> Let Seija and Shinny continue unimpeded.

> Shinmyoumaru inches a bit closer to Seija, then hugs her.
> "What are you doing?" Seija questions, facing Shinmyoumaru. It's comfortable though...
> "Just going to sleep." Shinmyoumaru smiles. It's nicer and more comfortable this way.
> "Well you're chest is getting in the way." Seija frowns. It's soft.
> "You sure that's not yours?" Mine might be bigger though. It's a bit hard to tell.
>_

[Suwako Moriya]

Indiana:

> Head to the right and see what we have to work with in terms of space between bullets.

Seija Dais, Dai 4:

> Let Seija and Shinny continue unimpeded.

[Neovereign]

Indiana:

> Head to the right and see what we have to work with in terms of space between bullets.

> Your right or the vampire's right?
>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Her right.

[Monarda]

Dai-chan 8:

>Look around.
>Once we spot Koishi. "Oh hiya Miss Koishi ! How are you ?"

[Neovereign]

Indiana:

> Head to the right and see what we have to work with in terms of space between bullets.

> Her right.

> You head to the mistress's right and quickly assess the situation. The danmaku at your right has already passed. There's only a few stray bullets of the scatter still there, so dodging there would mean dodging the entire attack. However, the path is blocked by the other shots. If you don't move soon, you'll also be hit by one of her other shots. Behind the vampire is clear.

Dai-chan 8:

>Look around.
>Once we spot Koishi. "Oh hiya Miss Koishi ! How are you ?"

> You look around, but fail to spot Koishi anywhere.

Seija Dais, Dai 4:

> Let Seija and Shinny continue unimpeded.

> T-This is a chance... Seija thinks.
> "What? No comeback this time?" Shinmyoumaru asks. Guess I win. Hehe.
> "W-Well, I know they're not mine because I know how mine look. I don't know how yours looks though, so it could be yours." Seija says. T-This sounds stupid.
> "I could say the same thing though." Shinmyoumaru argues. Why are we even arguing about this. It's fun though.

> (Dai 5) You arrive near Koishi, and she turns to wave at you.
>_

[Suwako Moriya]

Indiana:

> Warp back to the right, between the passed-by bullets on our right and the mistress, so as to avoid having to plow through the blocked path.

Dai 5:

> Wave to Koishi.

Seija Dais:

> Maybe I should go for it and just reach for her, and pretend like I'm trying to prove it's hers and not mine. I'd just have to make sure I didn't grab her very tightly or roughly.

[Neovereign]

Indiana:

> Warp back to the right, between the passed-by bullets on our right and the mistress, so as to avoid having to plow through the blocked path.

> You warp to your right, leaving the rest of the attack useless. The stray danmaku doesn't seem like it'll get in the way unless you move a lot.
> The vampire finishes her attack. She moves back just a bit and summons magic circles again.

Dai 5:

> Wave to Koishi.

> You wave to Koishi as you approach her.
> "Hi Daiyousei. You're doing good up there." Koishi points likely to the battle, but you make sure to keep your eyes on her. She has her other hand on her head. "I don't know why, but I really felt like I should come here with this stuff." She pats the bag.

Seija Dais:

> Maybe I should go for it and just reach for her, and pretend like I'm trying to prove it's hers and not mine. I'd just have to make sure I didn't grab her very tightly or roughly.

> ...Maybe... I'll just apologize if it's bad. Seija reaches for Shinmyoumaru's chest and undos her robes. Shinmyoumaru blushes in response, and there's silence as the two stare at each other.
> "S-See. They're not mine. You reacted and e-everything." Seija says, carefully putting her hands on Shinmyoumaru's chest. T-They're really soft.
> Shinmyoumaru jumps a bit. "O-Okay, I know. I was just kidding. You didn't have to do this." Doing this out of nowhere.
> "Sorry." Seija moves her hands away.
> There's more silence.
> She hasn't put her robes back... Seija thinks.
> I wonder if I could sleep like I did yesterday. There's no one else here but Seija... It'd be like no one was here anyways... Shinmyoumaru thinks. N-No, Daiyousei would definitely already be done before I woke back up.
>_

[Suwako Moriya]

Indiana:

> Fire some icicles to our right, and then warp them to the vampire's right.
> Begin internally preparing an ice wall large enough to shield our entire body.

Dai 5:

> "Really? What's in there?"
> Keep our eyes glued to Koishi, even if other people start talking to us.

Dai 2:

> ...Do I...Do I remove my dress as well...?

Dai 4:

> Would it matter if I was asleep, though? Can she even do anything? ...And it's not like she hasn't seen at least part of me, anyway...

[Neovereign]

Indiana:

> Fire some icicles to our right, and then warp them to the vampire's right.
> Begin internally preparing an ice wall large enough to shield our entire body.

> You fire off icicles to your right, then warp them to the vampire's right. She dodges backwards a bit after they appear, about the same time they started to move. The mistress then fires off energy in the shape of red chains towards you.
> Bats fly out from the magic circles and towards you. They're not very fast, and are a bit slower than the chains. Neither appear to be problems yet.
> You start to focus on Cirno's ice magic to make an ice wall. In no time, you believe you have enough to shield your entire body well from attacks. You could likely keep going for a stronger wall.

Dai 5:

> "Really? What's in there?"
> Keep our eyes glued to Koishi, even if other people start talking to us.

> Koishi opens the bag, pulling out Seija's torn dress.
> "This person's stuff. Some of them look weird." Koishi says, holding the dress up. "These arrows look cool though."
> No one else seems to be paying attention to you.

Dai 2:

> ...Do I...Do I remove my dress as well...?

Dai 4:

> Would it matter if I was asleep, though? Can she even do anything? ...And it's not like she hasn't seen at least part of me, anyway...

> Uh... I probably couldn't get away with explaining why... Seija thinks.
> Maybe... "Uh, Seija." Shinmyoumaru says. "D-Did you know that... it's more comfortable... to uh, sleep without clothes?"
> "What?" Seija questions. Is she thinking the same thing?
> "I can make the bed larger so we don't have to be close. But it's much more comfortable. R-Really." Shinmyoumaru gets out of the bed. Okay, make the bed large...
> The bed starts to increase in size.
> "Who said I wanted to be comfortable though? I like being uncomfortable more." Seija says. But it hasn't been feeling like that lately...
> "But you really have to try it. I promise it's more comfortable and worth it." Shinmyoumaru says, removing her robes. "I-I won't look at you if you don't want me to." I've already seen her though, thanks to what happened with Daiyousei and her.
> "It's fine. It's supposed to be normal for us to see each other regardless, right?" Seija starts to remove her dress. S-So she was thinking the same thing?
> Shinmyoumaru nods.
>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> With the reappearance of the bats, has the mistress disappeared again, leaving a vacancy where she was floating previously?

[Neovereign]

> With the reappearance of the bats, has the mistress disappeared again, leaving a vacancy where she was floating previously?

> No. She's still there, firing the chains.
>_

[Monarda]

Dai-chan 8:

>Turn to Dai-chan 5.
>"Huh ? Who are you talking to Dai-chan 5 ?"

Dai-chan 5:

>"Oh, it's just Miss Koishi, she right over there."
>Point  towards Koishi.

Dai-chan 8:

>"Umm.... but i can't see her... why ?"

[Suwako Moriya]

Indiana:

> Let loose a single springburst toward the mistress, and then try to warp as much of it as we can three-quarters of the way to her. Then visually reassess the situation.
> Continue charging ice magic to make the wall thicker and stronger.

Dai 5:

> Continue not taking our eyes off Koishi, not even for Dai 8's dialogue.

> To Koishi: "Oh, that's Seija's dress and stuff. Would you mind giving it to me? I'll return it to her."

Seija Dais, Dai 4:

> Let Seija and Shinny continue unimpeded.

[Neovereign]

Indiana:

> Let loose a single springburst toward the mistress, and then try to warp as much of it as we can three-quarters of the way to her. Then visually reassess the situation.
> Continue charging ice magic to make the wall thicker and stronger.

> You let off a celebratory burst of danmaku in joy that it's spring. It's only here a quarter of the year!
> You warp most of it closer to the mistress. She starts to dodge through the field easily.
> There's a lot of danmaku heading towards and past the mistress, which you just fired. The bats are closer, and you might consider dodging now. The chains require dodging already.
> You continue charging the magic. You feel that your at your max after a few seconds.

Dai 5:

> Continue not taking our eyes off Koishi, not even for Dai 8's dialogue.

> To Koishi: "Oh, that's Seija's dress and stuff. Would you mind giving it to me? I'll return it to her."

Dai-chan 8:

>Turn to Dai-chan 5.
>"Huh ? Who are you talking to Dai-chan 5 ?"

Dai-chan 5:

>"Oh, it's just Miss Koishi, she right over there."
>Point  towards Koishi.

Dai-chan 8:

>"Umm.... but i can't see her... why ?"

> You turn to Dai 5, but can't see her either. Using her perspective, you confirm that Koishi is right next to her, and both are near you. You yourself, still can't see them.

> "Okay." Koishi says, putting the outfit back and handing you the bag.

Seija Dais, Dai 4:

> Let Seija and Shinny continue unimpeded.

> Shinmyoumaru and Seija both remove the remainder of the clothes and get into the bed at opposite sides, facing away.
> "I-I said it's alright to look you know." Seija says. I'm not doing it first though.
> "Ye-, er, I-I know..." I-I don't know what to do or say. T-This is already so much. Shinmyoumaru says.
> "It really is comfortable..."
> Shinmyoumaru nods.
>_

[Suwako Moriya]

Indiana:

> Down!
> Hold onto that ice wall charge, but don't try to charge it any further.

Dai 5:

> "Thanks!"
> Take the bag.

Dai 4:

> S-should I just look? She d-did say it was okay...

[Monarda]

Dai-chan 8:

>Place our arms forward and try to move towards Koishi, see if we can find her.
>"Oh ok, hiya Miss Koishi ! How are you ?"

Dai-chan 5:

>"Oh right ! What happened to Dai-chan e that was fused with you after you split up ? She woke up at our house without knowing what happened afterwards, but she's really glad to have helped."

[Neovereign]

Indiana:

> Down!
> Hold onto that ice wall charge, but don't try to charge it any further.

> You fly downwards. The bats follow you as they continue, but the chains miss. You notice the chains arc under and away from you a bit however, and start to loop around to get back to you.
> The vampire continues to dodge the current springburst

Dai 5:

> "Thanks!
> Take the bag.

> You grab the bag full of Seija's items and ripped dress. It's not too heavy.
> "I wanna watch the rest of this fight before I go home." Koishi says, before turning her attention to the fight. You notice that her third eye is open now.

Dai-chan 5:

>"Oh right ! What happened to Dai-chan e that was fused with you after you split up ? She woke up at our house without knowing what happened afterwards, but she's really glad to have helped."

> "She died I think." Koishi says. "She left this stuff."

Dai-chan 8:

>Place our arms forward and try to move towards Koishi, see if we can find her.
>"Oh ok, hiya Miss Koishi ! How are you ?"

> You start to place your arms forward, but Koishi appears seemingly out of thin air.
> "Oh. Hi again Daiyousei." Koishi greets you. "I'm really happy that you helped me. Satori is too." Koishi nods.

Dai 4:

> S-should I just look? She d-did say it was okay...

> N-Nothing bad could happen... I think Shinmyoumaru turns around, facing Seija's back. She scoots a bit closer to Seija.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Indiana:

> Fire some fireballs at the bats.

Dai 8:

> Smile.
> "You're welcome!"

Dai 5:

> Point at the third eye.
> "Hey, your eye thingy is open, Koishi."

Seija Dais, Dai 4:

> Let Seija and Shinny continue unimpeded.

[Neovereign]

Indiana:

> Fire some fireballs at the bats.

> You shoot off fire danmaku towards the bats, dealing with them easily.
> The chain misses you yet again, and seems to stop at the border behind you. It's a pretty long chain now. You feel a bit weird though.
> The mistress, now in the clear space between the springbursts, holds her open palm out towards you.

Dai 8:

> Smile.
> "You're welcome!"

> Koishi smiles back.

Dai 5:

> Point at the third eye.
> "Hey, your eye thingy is open, Koishi."

> "Oh. That's because..." Koishi pauses for a bit. "I don't really know. It did that a few times on my way here."

Seija Dais, Dai 4:

> Let Seija and Shinny continue unimpeded.

> Seija was really this accepting...? Shinmyoumaru closes her eyes. I wanna thank Daiyousei so much for this.
> She hasn't said anything in a bit. Is she asleep yet? Seija wonders.
>_

[Monarda]

//And you can see here in the left, Kilgasei smilling while looking at his successful plan.

Dai-chan 8:

>"Hey ! Could i visit your place sometime ? I really wanna meet you all more properly, i also wanna see the other people that live there."

Dai-chan 5 and 8:

>"Can i ?"

Indiana:

>Examine ourselves.
>Distance ourselves from the chain and border quickly.

[Kilgamayan]

Seija Dais:

> Maybe I should check on her.
