Magical Lotus - Mahou Shoujou Byakuren - Episode 2, part 3

[Hello Purvis]

>"I could see bottling it being an easy way to make it more usable, but yes, that'll be a think to talk about."

[Oldmansour]

>"I could see bottling it being an easy way to make it more usable, but yes, that'll be a think to talk about."

>"Some mystical matter simply can't be contained, as I understand. But it does stand to reason that an otherworldly being would have resources not available to us. Assuming that we can trust anything it tells you, of course."

[Hello Purvis]

>That's Kiku, right?
>"Quite. We'll have to see how things progress. But, we have veered off the subject of Satori, haven't we? I see two major options. One is to see if we can find out if anything is strange by asking others, or we approach her ourselves. The latter...seems like a last resort, I feel. It may well set things into motion that we do not wish to be set into motion."

>That was Kiku, yes.
>"I concur. If the Tiger did not want a confrontation between her and you, that's enough for me to know."
>"Komeji-sama will expect my return at some point tonight, though...." She presses her two index fingers against the side of her nose and rubs it up and down. "There... may be one thing I can do, but... It is not an easy thing for me to contemplate."

>"I don't want you to feel obligated to do this thing if you would rather not, but would you at least tell me what it is?"

[Oldmansour]

>"I don't want you to feel obligated to do this thing if you would rather not, but would you at least tell me what it is?"

>Kiku nods, slowly. "It is as Lily said. The Tiger could shield me as He shielded you." She looks you in the eye. "When we are done here, if you brought me to where you met Him, I might be visited by Him, if not in person, then perhaps in presense."
>"But... it is not an easy thing for me to consider. One does not suggest such a meeting easily, least of all one such as I."

[Hello Purvis]

>Do we think we could find our way back there without a skunk to guide us?

[Oldmansour]

>Do we think we could find our way back there without a skunk to guide us?

>You believe so.

[Hello Purvis]

>"We could see. If the Metal Tiger does not wish us to be there, I'm sure we won't get there."

[Oldmansour]

>"We could see. If the Metal Tiger does not wish us to be there, I'm sure we won't get there."

>"But I am...." she exhales, and takes a large swallow of her Russian. "Honestly, Byakuren, the thought of being in His presence terrifies me. Almost as much as the demon scared me. And just as frightening is the idea that, should I work up the courage to do this, He... shuns me."

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "Even if he does, we won't."

[Oldmansour]

>Smile. "Even if he does, we won't."

>Lily looks at you with wide eyes. "Does that mean we can keep her?"
>"Nobody keeps this tiger." the miko declares, jumping up onto the table and hurling a collar around your neck, and Lily's. "I keep you!"
