Rumia Quest 4: Living in the Shadows [Complete]

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's just wait here until Eirin shows up. We'll let her take care of things when she does.

[Raikaria]

>Let's just wait here until Eirin shows up. We'll let her take care of things when she does.

Eirin Yagokoro
Gensokyo's Mental Elite

> Eirin shows up, and does exactly what Reisen said not to, she touches you. She lifts you up and carries you inside.

> "Don't worry. I can't get ill." Eirin says as she carries you through Eientei, into a room that looks like some kind of lab.

> "Right, brace yourself, Yamane uses different viruses every time. I need to take a blood sample, else I'll end up giving you the wrong medication." Eirin says, holding a needle.

> Reisen has followed.

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Alright."
>"Man...Never thought I'd be back here this way...I still remember when you fixed up my ears y'know."

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "Alright."
>"Man...Never thought I'd be back here this way...I still remember when you fixed up my ears y'know."

> "That was the Princess' fault. I swear, if Reisen manipulated the waves to amplify them, we could turn her voice into a sonic cannon." Eirin jokes.

> Reisen dosen't comment.

> At this point, Eirin gentlely sticks in the needle. You hardly feel it.

> "By the way, you don't owe my anymore for looking after you after the Rika Incident. A freind settled your debt. However, you owe me something for this. So we're back to square one." Eirin says, as she starts inspecting the blood sample.

> "Reisen, 3rd shelf, red cupboard, 2nd row back, 3rd along. And the 5th along. Anti-venoms. I'll get the antibiotics and other things." Eirin says, rushing over to a blue cupboard on a different wall.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Hehe, yeah...I bet it'd hurt worse than Danmaku."
>Let's chill until the doc gets everything settled.
>"Well, I guess I can just do something for you, like the old one."

[Raikaria]

>"Hehe, yeah...I bet it'd hurt worse than Danmaku."
>Let's chill until the doc gets everything settled.
>"Well, I guess I can just do something for you, like the old one."

> "They wouldn't know what hit them. EIIIIRIIIN!" Reisen jokes.

> You watch in curiousity as Eirin mixes various liquids and solids into some other liquid. It certainly dosen't look nice.

> "Favors, the currency of Gensokyo." Eirin says happily, holding a bowl of liquid. "This isn't going to taste good, but you'll need to drink up. You'll feel worse for two hours, but then it'll die down, and you should be better after four."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well, bottoms up. To my health!" Let's chug it!

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Do we know who repaid our old debt? If not: "Who settled my old debt?"

[Raikaria]

>"Well, bottoms up. To my health!" Let's chug it!

> You drink it. It's awful, and you feel like you're going to gap, but you woman up and swallow it anyway.

> You don't know if it's good medicine until you taste it yourself, after all, and the best medicine tastes bad.

>Do we know who repaid our old debt? If not: "Who settled my old debt?"

> "The night sparrow." Eirin says casually. "Anyway, remember that you'll get worse before you get better, but if it wasn't for the medicine, you'd keep getting worse until you died."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Mysty? Wow, I'll have to thank her for that. But yeah, always does get worse before it gets better."

[Raikaria]

>"Mysty? Wow, I'll have to thank her for that. But yeah, always does get worse before it gets better."

> "Yes, she did something for me, when I casually mentioned I couldn't find you, because I had something I wantd to ask you to do." Eirin says.

> "Anyway, it might be an idea to try and sleep." Eirin says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "I think I'll head back to base and nap there."
>May as well head back to Senkai and rest there. We'll be safe at that point.

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "I think I'll head back to base and nap there."
>May as well head back to Senkai and rest there. We'll be safe at that point.

> "Bad idea. There's a chance you might be allergic to one of the medicines, or I missed something in the blood sample, simply because it wasn't there, or I missed it. You need to stay here." Eirin says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"...Oh. Okay."
>We may as well conk out here then!

[Raikaria]

>"...Oh. Okay."
>We may as well conk out here then!

> It's not easy, but you go to sleep. [Although you're sure Reisen was making constant eye contact as you got drowsy, so you think she may have helped you.]

> You wake up, feeling better. No-one is in the room. There's a small message:

'I know you are due to wake up, and I'd prefer to see to my patient, but the Princess was yelling.'

[Hanzo K.]

>How are we feeling?
>Chuckle a bit. We know how that is.
>We may as well wait for her to show up, maybe get a look around the room again.

[Raikaria]

>How are we feeling?
>Chuckle a bit. We know how that is.
>We may as well wait for her to show up, maybe get a look around the room again.

> You are feeling great! You don't even have the taste in your mouth.

> You chuckle, but no-one is around to hear it.

> You wait for Eirin, or at least Reisen, to show up. Instead, however, a familar looking bunny shows up, the one who ran off and brought Tewi to you when you were looking for Kogasa.

> "T-Tewi said Reisen said Eirin said to check you were awake and show you the way out..." the rabbit says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Hey, I remember you! You were the one who led me to Tewi when I was trying to find Kogasa!"
>"Well, let's go then! And be sure to tell 'em thanks!"
>Let's get going!

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "Hey, I remember you! You were the one who led me to Tewi when I was trying to find Kogasa!"
>"Well, let's go then! And be sure to tell 'em thanks!"
>Let's get going!

> "K-Kogasa? You're that darkness youkai who fought Reisen..." the rabbit says.

> "I didn't do anything but send a message..." the rabbit says.

> The rabbit shows you out of Eientei, and then starts hopping out of the Bamboo Forest, with you following. Eventually, you leave.

Reminder of avaliable locations:

- Go to the Kappa Village
- Go to the Hakurei Shrine
- Go to the Myouren Temple
- Go to Senkai [You only passed through]
- [Try and] Go to the Human Village [Mystcia said it changed a bit, but you are not confident]
- Go to Misty Lake and the SDM [Note: Will Progress the main plotline and lock out other locations for a while]

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Yeah, I really grew, didn't I? Well, see you around!"
>Let's head for the Kappa Village now!

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "Yeah, I really grew, didn't I? Well, see you around!"
>Let's head for the Kappa Village now!

> "Y-yeah... I wanna go back now, I don't like being out in the open, I'm just a little rabbit youkai... who knows if some fox youkai will attack me."

> The rabbit runs away.

> You decide to head for the Kappa Village. Eientei isn't *too* far from Youkai Mountain, so you're able to get there in a decent travel time. You note it is getting dark when you get there. The reactor stands in the centre of the village, visible.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Wow...It's the same as it was before I started training..."
>Let's head for the lake now.

[Raikaria]

>"Wow...It's the same as it was before I started training..."
>Let's head for the lake now.

> Indeed, not a lot has changed.

> There is no lake in the Kappa Village, the lake is at the top of the mountain, technically a spring. A river flows through the Kappa Village, however, so you go there.

> You see a few Kappa swimming in the river. Amoung them is Nitori, they seem to be testing something, judgeing by their excited looks, shiny objects, and bubbles emitting from them.

[Hanzo K.]

>Head on over to Nitori.
>"Heya! What're you guys up to now? "

[Raikaria]

>Head on over to Nitori.
>"Heya! What're you guys up to now? "

> The kappa holds up one hand as if to say 'wait'. She's kinda underwater right now.

> All of the Kappa carefully place their devices on the bed of the river, and they start to form bubbles, which collate in the centre of the group, into one large sphere.

> Nitori pulls out another, different looking device, and jumps out of the water, before flying above the river, and holding the device in the air, as it starts to glow.

> The bubble of water rises out of the river, without spilling everywhere.

> Nitori leaves the device there, and the kappa still in the water leave it.

> "So, how do you like the Gravity Device we've made?" Nitori says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Stare at it for a moment, then go all sparkly-eyed.
>"Coooool!"

(Just because we're more mature, it doesn't mean we're still not a bit of an excitable derp when we see awesome stuff.)

[Raikaria]

>Stare at it for a moment, then go all sparkly-eyed.
>"Coooool!"

(Just because we're more mature, it doesn't mean we're still not a bit of an excitable derp when we see awesome stuff.)

(Hey, anyone would react like that probobly)

> "Yep. We made this by reverse-engineering a device we found in Rika's lab. We guess she used it to help her build Evil Eye Omega. It wasn't easy, but we were able to create an anti-gravity device of our own, which we can use for lifting objects. It's even precise enough to lift out this orb of water, and hold it in this sphere. Construction will be many times easier!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Grin. "I bet it'll be really useful for cleaning houses too! Just fiddle with it, and bam! You can just lift the dirt and stuff right off!"

[Raikaria]

>Grin. "I bet it'll be really useful for cleaning houses too! Just fiddle with it, and bam! You can just lift the dirt and stuff right off!"

> "Hey, I never even thought of that idea! Although, the downside is the larger area it being effected, the more devices you need to create the antigravity feild. It's not the weight that matters, but the size of the feild being projected. We need four devices to shape this orb of water, and a fifth to lift it. To life the dust off, say, the Scarlet Mansion, you'd need hundreds. Unless you did it area by area." Nitori says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod excitedly. "It'd be like cleaning normally, only way faster!"
>"....Maybe I should get one if I ever settle down somewhere."
