The One & Only SHINO QUEST ~ Part 2

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Well, more than just humans, it seems. But that's okay, too. It just means I got to help you warm up to others."

<"Well, more than just humans, it seems."
>"Indeed; though some youkai are just as cold."
<"But that's okay; it just means I got to help you warm up to others."
>"There is that... I suppose."
>You both begin passing round the lake; the mansion is starting to get a little closer.

>"Here's what is going to happen. I'll talk to Milady, then you can come walking in through the gates. Unless you have an idea of your own... that's not too crazy~ <3"

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"Alright, and then what?"

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Alright, and then what?"

<"Alright... then what?"
>Sakuya simply grins.
>"Be yourself. All I ask is that you don't throw yourself at Milady straight away."
>"And no revealing anything either... I have my own plan for that."

>...

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Just tell me what I need to do."

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Just tell me what I need to do."

<"Just tell me what I need to do."
>"I shouldn't need to do that, Shino. Just be yourself, and I'll play along. Of course, be prepared for a surprise of my own."

>Sakuya gives you a quick peck on the cheek before vanishing in mid-air.
>You are about to approach the walls surrounding the SDM.

>...

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Land in front of the gate.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Land in front of the gate.

>You begin to descend; landing near enough at the gate as possible.
>As you walk the rest of the way, you hear someone speaking rather loudly...
>"Well, I look forward to whoever you picked. Our hospitality is second to none!"
>You think this is where Sakuya would respond, but you can't hear her voice enough.
>Then again... she has a tendency to do that outside...

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>Approach the scene, but try not to be too loud about it.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Approach the scene, but try not to be too loud about it.

>You wander along; getting closer and closer to the actual gates.
>There's no sign of Meiling, and from what you can see, one side of the gate is open.
>"Sakuya, was it really a good idea to leave them? What if they get lost?"
>"This mansion isn't that hard to find, Milady."

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>Approach the gate, but pause if we see Sakuya or Remilia. Unless Remilia sees us; then we stride in like we own the place.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Approach the gate, but pause if we see Sakuya or Remilia. Unless Remilia sees us; then we stride in like we own the place.

>You approach the gate; keeping an eye out for both Sakuya and Remilia.
>As you get closer, you start seeing more beyond the gate, but no sign of...
>...
>Never mind, there's a white table out there; sure enough, Remilia is sitting there.
>And her eyes are on you almost instantly.

>You take this time to stride right in; almost like the Mansion is a mere extension to your shrine.
>"I'm only going to ask this once..." Such a cold tone. "What are you doing here?"
>Remilia does not look pleased at all.

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"Come again?"

[nolrai2]

Walk up to sakuya, look the maid in the eye, and then turn slightly towards remelia while grabbing the taller girl by the shoulders and kissing her deeply.

"Thats what I am doing here."

[Hello Purvis]

>Don't do this.


Don't go for the money shot just yet. We can can get so much more out of it by playing dumb for a bit.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Come again?"

<"Come again?"
>Remilia stares at you.
>"I am waiting for a very special guest to come here. So unless you have something highly important to do here, I suggest that you turn right around and clear off!"

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"Really? What a coincidence? Who is it?"

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Really? What a coincidence? Who is it?"

<"Really? What a coincidence!"
>"I'm afraid you are certainly not important."
<"Well, who is it then?"
>"Now that I can't tell you." Remilia grins. "Someone like you doesn't need to know who comes to this Mansion."
>Remilia shifts a little in her chair, before glancing at Sakuya.
>"Would you kindly show this pervert out, Sakuya?"
>Sakuya nods at Remilia before walking over to you.

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>Smile.
>"Oh, hey there, Sakuya."

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Smile.
>"Oh, hey there, Sakuya."

>You stand your ground and smile.
<"Oh, hey there Sakuya."
>"A good evening to you too, Shino."
>Sakuya bows to you a little.
>"Erm... Sakuya?"
>Sakuya straightens up before turning to Remilia.
>"You don't need to be polite to her, you know? Just lead her out already."
>Sakuya looks at you.

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"Yes, you should lead me where I need to be."

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Yes, you should lead me where I need to be."

<"Yes, you should lead me to where I need to be."
>"I understand."
>Sakuya bows again before turning away from you.
>"... Sakuya... What is going on?"
>"It's as you said..."
>Sakuya glances at you.
>"We have to respect our guests."
>Remilia is silent for a good few seconds...
>"She's not..."

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"So, what're we having tonight?"

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"So, what're we having tonight?"

<"So, what are we having tonight?"
>"Tonight, there is..."
>"Wait a moment, Sakuya..."
>Remilia seems torn between confusion and anger.
>"You're telling me... that she is the guest?"
>"Is there a problem, Milady?"
>Remilia looks at you; almost like she doesn't want to hear it.

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"So, who was that important guest you were talking about? I can't wait to meet her!"

[nolrai2]

>"So, who was that important guest you were talking about? I can't wait to meet her!"

Gold.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"So, who was that important guest you were talking about? I can't wait to meet her!"

<"Soooooooooo, who was that highly important guest you were talking about?"
>Remilia has a fist clenched, and she looks like she is going to explode.
<"I can't wait to meet her!"
>Remilia's face is all scrunched at this point; she's doing her best not to scream something horrible out.
>A few seconds pass before she smiles a little; you're pretty sure it ain't genuine though.
>"I...Indeed. Then... allow me to welcome you to our prized Scarlet Devil Mansion! S...Sakuya, tea for our guest... please."
>"Of course, Milady."
>Sakuya vanishes from the spot instantly; leaving yourself and Remilia.

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>Are we seated? Let's get properly seated if not?
>"So, how's it been hanging?"

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Are we seated? Let's get properly seated if not?
>"So, how's it been hanging?"

>You are still standing, so you decide to take a seat at the table.
<"So, how's it been hanging?"
>Reimilia twitches a little, but keeps the smile up some what.
>"N...Not bad, I guess. My life has been has lively as ever. My maid is in top condition, while everyone else around me does what I expect them to do."
>She goes to take a sip of her tea.

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"Lively, huh? Who'd you shack up with?"

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Lively, huh? Who'd you shack up with?"

<"Lively, huh? Who'd you shack up with?"
>Remilia spits out her tea just as Sakuya returns beside her.
>"It seems like it was a good idea to bring more tea, Milady."
>"Th...that's not it at all! That maiden just..."
>"Milady, Shino is our guest; remember."
>Remilia pauses for a few seconds before settling back in her chair again.
>"We...Well... Our... guest was asking something... erm... questionable."
