Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 8

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"She thinks she is better than her, but there are things Miss Hecatia can't do that Daiyousei can easily, like ressurecting the dead."
>"Then you use your ability to go there ? Can't you just use a picture or something ?"

> Miss T-Shirt Weirdo laughs. "Ya' sure? We'll see about that, Rainbow Dash."
> Hecatia shakes her head, the moon ball and earth ball jingling a bit as she does so.

//And then, A new sub-story was created: The Striked one!

V. Daiko-kun:

>"What if she moved through the shadows ? Think Sakura, if Niji can use light for her advantage, so can that person, and that would make it possible."

> "Maybe you are right... but my question remains the same. How she was able to do such thing to the kids? As far as I know, she can't control them..."

Sakura-Vision!Daiko:

>"I-Is that a yes? I just want to be sure."

> "YES!" V!Sakura suddenly seems frustated. She inhales and exhales. "S-Sorry... I'm getting a bit altered too..."
> _

[Monarda]

V. Daiko-kun:

>"I can say, how am i supposed to know ? I don't even know how she looks like, maybe she had aid ? Did nobody witness anything ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Daiyousei can... i think you should stop bragging, she has some really nasty tricks too."
>"Huh... uhm, are you immortal by the way ?"

[Neovereign]

Keine-Vision!Daiko:

>"Something's happened at the village. All the kids are missing, and the adults are gathered and troubled over it."

[Tashi]

V. Daiko-kun:

>"I can say, how am i supposed to know ? I don't even know how she looks like, maybe she had aid ? Did nobody witness anything ?"

> "Orino-san." Sakura grasps the attention of the woman. "Did anyone saw something?"
> "No..." She shakes her head. "All of this happened when everyone went to bed..."

Niji-chan:

>"Daiyousei can... i think you should stop bragging, she has some really nasty tricks too."
>"Huh... uhm, are you immortal by the way ?"

> "I'm not bragging. In fact, I don't care about that." She grins again. "You'll understand soon or later, my young padawan."
> "... Master... The copyright..."
> "Oh s- *Beep*. Erase that part! Everyone, let's redo this scene."
> "... Why this is happening in my life." Reimu questions his existence... Yes, HIS.
> "Tell me, do you consider I can die easily?"

Keine-Vision!Daiko:

>"Something's happened at the village. All the kids are missing, and the adults are gathered and troubled over it."

> "... W-What?!" V!Keine frowns. "Please tell me everything you know. I will go there quickly."
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Wanna take a look at the script again while in the lounge ? The other quest protags should be there."
>"Well you certainly feel strong, but i dunno what would happen if  you had your head severed..."

V. Daiko-kun:

>"Ask her if they saw anything odd before going to sleep."

[Neovereign]

Keine-Vision!Daiko:

>"That's just it. We only know that this seemed to happen when everyone went to bed. We're just now hearing about this."

Sakura-Vision!Daiko:

>"She says she'll be here quickly."

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"Wanna take a look at the script again while in the lounge ? The other quest protags should be there."
>"Well you certainly feel strong, but i dunno what would happen if  you had your head severed..."

> "Okay."
> "C'MON!" I shout from my chair with my megaphone. "The hell girls?! No rest!"
> "No rest my three planet balls."
> "WHAT."
> "Then that's all you need to know." Hecatia replies cryptically.
> Clownpiece let's out a sigh.

V. Daiko-kun:

>"Ask her if they saw anything odd before going to sleep."

> "Okay... You could do that by yourself, however. You are here with me..."

> "Something strange happened before the sleep-time?"
> Orino shakes her head again. "Everything was like any night."
> "Darn..." Sakura curses.

Keine-Vision!Daiko:

>"That's just it. We only know that this seemed to happen when everyone went to bed. We're just now hearing about this."

Sakura-Vision!Daiko:

>"She says she'll be here quickly."

> "Alright." V!Keine looks away. "Dammit... I-I was supposed to protect the village..."

> "Great!"
> _

[Neovereign]

Sakura-Vision!Daiko:

>"Anything else about the possible infiltrator?"

[Tashi]

Sakura-Vision!Daiko:

>"Anything else about the possible infiltrator?"

> "Did they... just disappeared, Orino?" Sakura asks.
> "... Their beds were tidy. It's the same for everyone else." She replies. "It seems that they just... disappeared..."
> "... ... W-Wait..." Sakura starts to think. "... Children...?" Sakura adopts a look of realization and concern. "D-Daiko! Bastet! The fairies!"
> _

[Monarda]

Daiko-kun:

>!
>Check on the fairies !

V. Daiko-kun:

>"B-But you said that you kept watching the corridor !"

Niji-chan:

>"Oh, so you can die, but it's super duper hard, i get it !"
>Make a thumbs up.
>"So... what now ?"

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Futuresight our box-siblings. (Tsuru, Kiku, Bastet, Niji...)

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Futuresight our box-siblings. (Tsuru, Kiku, Bastet, Niji...)

> You try to future-sight all of your "siblings".
> ...
> Only Niji seems to work. Again, no real "future-sight" but instead you meet with V!Niji.

Daiko-kun:

>!
>Check on the fairies !

> You run towards your home, rushing to the basement.
> The sound you made makes Golden stir.

V. Daiko-kun:

>"B-But you said that you kept watching the corridor !"

> "I want to be sure! If what Orino said is truth... t-then probably they are gone!"

Niji-chan:

>"Oh, so you can die, but it's super duper hard, i get it !"
>Make a thumbs up.
>"So... what now ?"

> "Er... Well, I'd like you to take me to where the gateway to that "Fairy World" is."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Check the rooms.

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Uhm... what for ?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Check the rooms.

> You check one room.
> Tsuru is sleeping here...
> You check another. This is the one where all the fairies were when Sakura started to told them stories.
> ... And they aren't here...
> You check another one.
> ... Thank god. Here are a Niji and Bastet asleep.
> You check the last one...
> Kiku is sleeping here. Koakuma is nowhere to be seen.

Niji-chan:

>"Uhm... what for ?"

> "Didn't I told you? To see if the gateway is open or something, and then make my way there to be able to travel there anytime I want." She grins.
> _

[Neovereign]

Sakura-Vision!Daiko:

>"T-The family's still there, but everyone else is gone. The fairies and Koakuma too. I-I'm gonna look around the house for them. Just in case. Should I wake anyone?"

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Uhm... i don't think i should... it stayed hidden for a very good reason most likely..."
>Shake our head.
>"I don't think that they would enjoy having you pop up over there every time you want..."

[Tashi]

Sakura-Vision!Daiko:

>"T-The family's still there, but everyone else is gone. The fairies and Koakuma too. I-I'm gonna look around the house for them. Just in case. Should I wake anyone?"

> V!Sakura nods. "I'm sorry for interrupt their sleep, but we need all the help possible."

Niji-chan:

>"Uhm... i don't think i should... it stayed hidden for a very good reason most likely..."
>Shake our head.
>"I don't think that they would enjoy having you pop up over there every time you want..."

> "..." Hecatia expression changes to an unamused one. She looks at Clownpiece. "... You said you were almost all the day with her yesterday... Do you know where it is, Clowny?"
> Clownpiece gives you a quick and discret glance.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>Look sad and lower our head a bit.

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>Look sad and lower our head a bit.

> ...
> "Maybe." You can hear Clownpiece say.
> "Then tell me." Hecatia requests.
> "I won't tell you."
> "What?!" Hecatia tones clearly changes to a surprised one.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"E-Eh ?!"
>Jump and look at her.
>"C-Clowny ?"

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"E-Eh ?!"
>Jump and look at her.
>"C-Clowny ?"

> You look up to her. Clownpiece is frowning at Hecatia.
> Her master returns the motion, but a much severe one.
> "Are you disobeying? This is an order."
> "I won't tell you." She hardens her frown.
> Reimu raised both eyebrows a bit, seemingly a bit impressed at Clownpiece actions.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Clowny... "
>Smile a bit.

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"Clowny... "
>Smile a bit.

> There's silence in the room. Clownpiece looks down, maintaining her frown.
> "... Clownpiece..." Hecatia calls. She has now a neutral face, but you can notice that she isn't in good mood...
> As soon as her servant looks up, she receives a slap in the left cheek. She was slapped by her master with such force that makes Clownpiece fall to her right side from her sitting position.
> Clownpiece covers her cheek, not saying a single thing.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"C-Clowny !"
>Rush to her aid !
>"How dare you ! What is wrong with you ?! You slap her just because she decided to honor the wishes of all the inhabitants of that world ?!"
>Frown.

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"C-Clowny !"
>Rush to her aid !
>"How dare you ! What is wrong with you ?! You slap her just because she decided to honor the wishes of all the inhabitants of that world ?!"
>Frown.

> As soon as you approach to help Clownpiece, she pushes you away. "G-Get away!"
> "... Sit up." Hecatia orders, ignoring your words.
> Clownpiece just silently and slowly sits up, still covering her cheek.
> "Put your hands down and look at me."
> Clownpiece lowers her hands and again looks up.
> And another slap is received from her master, in the same cheek. Clownpiece is now in the same position that she was a few seconds ago.
> You think she's sobbing.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Clowny ! D-Don't back down ! Show her that you are strong !"
>Cheer !

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"Clowny ! D-Don't back down ! Show her that you are strong !"
>Cheer !

> You start to cheer Clownpiece.
> She sits up again, still sobbing.
> "... Are you crying?"
> She doesn't answer.
> "I'm asking to you." Hecatia increases her tone. "Are you crying?"
> Clownpiece looks up. "N-No-"
> She receives another slap, this time in the right one. This make Clownpiece hit the table.
> She maintains herself at the table, sobbing a bit more.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Don't cry Clowny ! You are strong and brave ! You are my big friend just like Marry-chan ! Keep going !"

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"Don't cry Clowny ! You are strong and brave ! You are my big friend just like Marry-chan ! Keep going !"

> Sits up again, but with difficulty.
> "... Are you crying and disobeying me?"
> Clownpiece looks up again, only to repeat the same story with her left cheek, ending in the floor again.
> Reimu frowns.
> _
