Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 8

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>How much do we like it in here?
>"A bit... It's be awkward to just get out now though."

Daiko:

>"Yea."
>Examine Kokoro.

Kiku:

>"So what was your other one Koa?"

> You didn't really thought about that... And now that you do it... you don't really care about any option.
> "You never change, Ruru."
> Some words dash through your mind.
> "I'm surprised you don't hate this place. I mostly do because I'm literally incarcerated here."

> There isn't so much to see about Kokoro, aside of the scar in the back of her neck, her smooth looking skin in her legs, shoulders and arms.

> "Hm?" Koa looks at you. "What do you mean?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>"Ruru... Er, you want it to look any different or something, ask. I might do it for you."

Daiko:

>"I wonder what they're doing..."

Kiku:

>"Relax Daiko-kun."
>Sigh warmly.
>"Enjoooy..."

Daiko:

>"If you say so. You did see them..."
>Let ourselves relax more.

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"Ruru... Er, you want it to look any different or something, ask. I might do it for you."

Daiko:

>"I wonder what they're doing..."

Kiku:

>"Relax Daiko-kun."
>Sigh warmly.
>"Enjoooy..."

Daiko:

>"If you say so. You did see them..."
>Let ourselves relax more.

> "Free me." Kira says sarcastically. "... No. Seriously. Free me."

> You keep relaxing...
> ... ... ... Your horn feels a bit more warm than last time.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Feel our horn with our hand.

Tsuru:

>"You wanted us dead, more or less."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Feel our horn with our hand.

Tsuru:

>"You wanted us dead, more or less."

> You touch your horn a bit. It's really hot. You really wonder why your head isn't...
> You think something is happening with the energies inside it.

> "Okay. I want you two to leave this world peacefully and forever... There, more soft?" He says in a sarcastic way.
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>Sigh and sit down unhappily.

Daiko:

>"Huh...?"

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>Sigh and sit down unhappily.

Daiko:

>"Huh...?"

> You sit down, annoyed.
> "Something wrong, magician? Are you upset of my soft and all-family words?" Sarcastic Kira attacks again.

> It keeps like that for a couple of seconds, before stopping. It's still hot, however.
> There's something different with the energies now.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Try to identify it.

Tsuru:

>"Daiko was being nice and going far lengths to help out someone, and he gets rewarded for it with a homicidal spirit who claims to have had his ability before him."
>Frown.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Try to identify it.

Tsuru:

>"Daiko was being nice and going far lengths to help out someone, and he gets rewarded for it with a homicidal spirit who claims to have had his ability before him."
>Frown.

> The magical energy seems to be the same fire, but more stronger.

> "I don't know the part where he helped me, so I don't owe him anything." He laughs. "Here's the thing, dear. I didn't care about anyone, and I'm not going to begin here."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Maybe they combined...
>Continue relaxing.

Tsuru:

>Sigh again.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Maybe they combined...
>Continue relaxing.

Tsuru:

>Sigh again.

> You conclude that they unified... Makes sense. You now feel a single magical energy.
> You keep relaxing...

> You sigh.
> Your attention returns to the real world when you notice Mystia and Kyouko entering the room.

> "Sorry for the delay~." Kyouko says with a very happy smile.
> Mystia is silent, looking to the side. She's breathing a bit heavily.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko and Kiku:

>Examine the two.

Daiko:

>"You sound tired..."

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"...i recognize that..."

Niji Red:

>Report !

Niji Blur and Co.:

>Report.

Niji Golden:

>Report.

[Tashi]

Daiko and Kiku:

>Examine the two.

Daiko:

>"You sound tired..."

> Both of them are in towels. Kyouko seems really happy, while Mystia seems awkwardly tired.
> Another thing to note is that Kyouko is sweating a bit, even before entering the sauna...
> "N-No need to worry." Mystia glances to you.
> "Yeah. We had an exhaustive talk, hehe..." Both of them approach and sit down.

Kiku-chan:

>"...i recognize that..."

> "Hm?" Kyouko looks at you.
> "What do you mean?" Kokoro asks.

Niji Red:

>Report !

> Nitori seems to be testing something near her bed.
> You still have the food. You really wonder if you have to eat it or not...

Niji Blur and Co.:

>Report.

> You gave towels to the group. They already dried off a bit.
> "Thanks, Nii-san." One of them smile. "... And Nii-san two?" She looks at Blue. "... and three." Then glances at Green.

Niji Golden:

>Report.

> Mokou and Kaguya are lying down.
> Sakura is looking you with a concerned look.
> "Now what do we do?" She asks to you. "They are here... but this... darkness..."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Oh... I'll guess you were "Talking" about the books..."

Kiku:

>"Yea, definitely. I'm surprise you didn't invite Daiko to your conversation."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Oh... I'll guess you were "Talking" about the books..."

Kiku:

>"Yea, definitely. I'm surprise you didn't invite Daiko to your conversation."

> "... I don't believe this..." Koa whispers.
> Kyouko only gives you a guilty smile.
> Mystia clears her throat. "S-So..."
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"Kinda obvious..."

Niji Red:

>Eat it anyways.

Niji Golden:

>"Ummm, to fight Darkness you use Light right ? They are two sides of the same coin."

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>Whisper it.
>^{_{"They wanted some privacy, so I gave them it."}}

Daiko:

>"How's the sauna for you two?"

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>Whisper it.
>^{_{"They wanted some privacy, so I gave them it."}}

Daiko:

>"How's the sauna for you two?"

> "Did they really do that? In such a NOT private place?" Koa blushes a bit.

> "It's good!" Kyouko smiles at you.
> "... Same..." Mystia replies calmly.
> "Though I'd rather prefer the pool..."

Kiku-chan:

>"Kinda obvious..."

> "Hey Kiku." Kokoro looks at you. "... You said you "recognize that"... What do you mean?"

Niji Red:

>Eat it anyways.

> You keep eating.
> And as you do it, you really wonder why you didn't left before...

Niji Golden:

>"Ummm, to fight Darkness you use Light right ? They are two sides of the same coin."

> "What exactly you mean?" Sakura asks.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>"What you two did."

Niji Red:

>Huh... that's true...

Niji Golden:

>"If you wanna get rid of an thick darkness, why not use an shining source of light ? Sunlight, Moonlight, or such."

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>"Would we even have enough time for it? Are you three spending the night?"

Daiko:

>"Ah, Tsuru. You're a magician right?"

Tsuru:

>"O-Oh! Finally you take notice of me still being here. I could try."

Daiko:

>"Tsuru might be able to fill it."

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"What you two did."

> "Huh... Does that mean you know how is it?" Kokoro tilts her head.
> Koa jumps a bit.

Kiku:

>"Would we even have enough time for it? Are you three spending the night?"

Daiko:

>"Ah, Tsuru. You're a magician right?"

Tsuru:

>"O-Oh! Finally you take notice of me still being here. I could try."

Daiko:

>"Tsuru might be able to fill it."

> "Oh?" Kyouko ears perk up. "Really? How?"

Niji Red:

>Huh... that's true...

> With all of your efforts, you finally end the meal. That was a "lunatic" difficulty thing...

Niji Golden:

>"If you wanna get rid of an thick darkness, why not use an shining source of light ? Sunlight, Moonlight, or such."

> "Uh, because they don't penetrate that darkness?" Kaguya says. "I already said it."

[Monarda]

Niji Golden:

>"Maybe it's too weak or scattered."
>Make an light sphere.
>"If we were to focus it, then who knows ?"

Kiku-chan:

>Shrug.
>"Their body language said it all."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"She's a magician. I'll let her try right now."
>Get up and head for the pool room.

[Tashi]

Niji Golden:

>"Maybe it's too weak or scattered."
>Make an light sphere.
>"If we were to focus it, then who knows ?"

> "... Maybe." Kaguya shrugs.
> "Then why don't we burn Eientei to make it a giant torch?" Mokou grins.
> "No thanks."

Kiku-chan:

>Shrug.
>"Their body language said it all."

> "Oh."
> Koa sighs, relieved.

Daiko:

>"She's a magician. I'll let her try right now."
>Get up and head for the pool room.

> You return to the pool room.
> "Ah, this will be fun." Kira says.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Swap with Tsuru.

Tsuru:

>Start to try and fill the pool with water.
>"You know, I'm pretty sure no one thought to bring swimsuits or anything."

Daiko:

>"No one objected... And this way, those who wanted the pool instead can still enjoy it..."

Kiku:

>How are things here without Daiko?

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Swap with Tsuru.

Tsuru:

>Start to try and fill the pool with water.
>"You know, I'm pretty sure no one thought to bring swimsuits or anything."

Daiko:

>"No one objected... And this way, those who wanted the pool instead can still enjoy it..."

Kiku:

>How are things here without Daiko?

> You swap with Tsuru.
> You concentrate and try to fill the pool...
> Magically, the pool starts to fill with water, slowly increasing the water level.
> "I hope you understand that, if anyone comes here to try it, it will be nude..."

> Nothing seems out of the blue...
> "D-Damn you, Kyouko..." Mystia whispers.
> "Hehe~."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Continue watching in silence.

Tsuru:

>"Hm. It's working."

Kiku:

>"I wonder how things would've gone if Daiko went instead of me... Maybe he would've left when you asked anyways."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Continue watching in silence.

Tsuru:

>"Hm. It's working."

Kiku:

>"I wonder how things would've gone if Daiko went instead of me... Maybe he would've left when you asked anyways."

> You watch as the pool is filled.
> It's close to the top.

> "Who knows~?" Kyouko says happily.
> "... She loves doing that... I-I see..." Koa whispers.
> _

[Neovereign]

Tsuru:

>Finish up.

Kiku:

>"Doesn't seem like Daiko's back yet. Maybe he's actually filling the pool."
