Wind Priestess Quest - Part 2: What has Tobe done.

[Neovereign]

>Get between them.
>"Okay, hold everything! Yes I know who she is. Things are different now though. Why do you think she just waltz into here like a lousy roommate? You've got nothing to worry about from her, okay?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Get between them.

>You do so

>"Okay, hold everything! Yes I know who she is. Things are different now though. Why do you think she just waltz into here like a lousy roommate? You've got nothing to worry about from her, okay?"

>"Nothing to worry about!?! Sanae, Mima is pure evil!" Reimu glares at you, "She can never be trusted! No matter how friendly she may seem, she'll turn on you eventually. And I bet this is what you were about to tell me about, isn't it! She's the mastermind of this incident isn't she!"
>"Whoa! Whoa! Hey. I may have started my fair share of incidents in the past, but believe me when I say I had nothing to with this!!!"
>"That's a lie and you know it!"
>"I'm afraid not."
>"More lies, Mima? How typical of you!"
>"Well at least I'm not a manipulative bitch who would turn someone's own apprentice against them."
>"Marisa was going to betray you anyway! I only sped up the process!"
>"Oh, NOW who's lying!"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Hey! Let me explain! Mima had nothing, absolutely nothing to do with this incident until just recently. And that's because she's helping me out now. Things happened and I ended up getting stuck in that realm she was stuck in, and we helped each other get out. I know, 100%, without a single trace of doubt, that Mima is not the cause of this incident."
>"I didn't want to have to say this, but since you're already planning on beating up everyone until you get answers, I have to. I actually do know exactly why this incident is happening and who's causing it."

>"Even if she's not behind this, she still can't be trusted. Now stand aside so I can seal her away!"

>"I didn't want to have to say this, but since you're already planning on beating up everyone until you get answers, I have to. I actually do know exactly why this incident is happening and who's causing it."

>"You do?" Reimu frowns, "Who is it, then, if it's not her?"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Mima can be trusted. She had the opportunity to get rid of me when we were escaping back to Gensokyo, but she didn't do it. She probably could've killed me in my sleep yesterday night, but she didn't do it. She even had the perfect chance to kill thousands in one moment and make it look like an accident that no one would ever suspect was her, but she didn't, DO IT! ... Sealing Mima would only bring negative effects. She's given up on the genocide thing anyways. She's been more helpful than not."

>"You were right. It's us, okay. But this wasn't supposed to happen and we're trying to stop it. We needed you to stop snooping around long enough for us to fix it, but you just wouldn't. You can't just ruin everything now. You can't do it. Please, don't. You don't understand what you'll do to us..."

Sealing Mima would only bring negative effects. She's given up on the genocide thing anyways. She's been more helpful than not."

>"Grr... Alright, fine. Have it your way." Reimu snarls, before looking at Mima, "But don't think this means I trust you. Mark my words, if you cause trouble just once, I won't hesitate to seal you away. And this time I'll make sure it's permanent."

>"You were right. It's us, okay. But this wasn't supposed to happen and we're trying to stop it. We needed you to stop snooping around long enough for us to fix it, but you just wouldn't. You can't just ruin everything now. You can't do it. Please, don't. You don't understand what you'll do to us..."

>Reimu glares at you.
>"I knew it..." she says, "And you're asking me to stay out of this? Give me one good reason why I should!"

>"What's all the commotion?" you hear Suwako's voice say, "Oh, hello Reimu. What's the occa-"
>You look over to see Suwako stepping out of the tea room. She glances between you, Mima and Reimu.
>"Are- Are you three going to start a fight in here?!" she frowns, "Well, if you are, please take it outside..."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"S-Suwako-sama! We were just talking about uh, p-progress. Things are getting kind of hectic though, so uh, I guess we should take it outside. C-come on Reimu."
>Take Reimu's hand and exit the shrine.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"S-Suwako-sama! We were just talking about uh, p-progress. Things are getting kind of hectic though, so uh, I guess we should take it outside. C-come on Reimu."
>Take Reimu's hand and exit the shrine.

>You grab onto Reimu's hand and drag her outside.
>"Hey what are you-" she protests.
>Mima follows you two.

>"Why the hell did you just drag me out here!? It's cold!" Reimu shouts.
>Several fairies poke their heads out of the igloo and start eyeing the three of you curiously.
>_

[Neovereign]

>Take Reimu to the other side of the shrine, hopefully away from the fairies.
>"Lady Kanako made a mistake and Suwako can't hear about it. If she does, it'll just make things worse. I need you to stay out of this because if the residents of Gensokyo realize who's behind this, we really would lose everything. I'm not just talking about respect or popularity or anything like that. I'm saying no one would have faith in us anymore and my goddesses would disappear. You might not care about them, but they're my family."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Take Reimu to the other side of the shrine, hopefully away from the fairies.

>You drag Reimu to the other side of the shrine, much to her annoyance. Mima follows soon after.

>"Lady Kanako made a mistake and Suwako can't hear about it. If she does, it'll just make things worse.

>Reimu stares at you for several moments.
>She sighs, "One day... I will give you one day to fix this, but after that I will get involved, whether you want me to or not. But even if it comes to that, I assure you that nothing bad will happen to you and your goddesses..."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Thank you, but you can't make a promise like that Reimu. This incident isn't the only thing against me. I can't relax while I'm awake because of this incident and I can't relax in my dreams because there's something after me in Genmukai. Even if we do fix this, that thing is hell-bent on trying to reach me every chance it gets, whether I'm unconscious or in another world. I can't even do anything to stop it, hahaha..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Gen-moo-what!?!" Reimu exclaims.
>"Oh, come on, Reimu, you remember Genmukai, right? The so-called 'World of Fantasies'?" Mima remarks, "You flew through it on the back of your pet turtle during my first major attempt to take revenge on humanity. Speaking of your turtle, what was the old thing's name again?"
>Reimu frowns, "Genji..."
>"Oh, yeah! That was it!"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"So you have been there. Anyways, why is the thing there trying to go after me?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"So you have been there. Anyways, why is the thing there trying to go after me?"

>"Well, could you please describe this thing? I've seen many things in my lifetime, plus, I was like... a kid... back then. You honestly can't expect me to remember stuff from so long ago off the top of my head, can you?"
>"I bet your turtle would remember." Mima comments, "I bet he's so old he remembers the creation of Japan as if it were yesterday! Ahahahaha!"
>Reimu scowls at Mima.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"How come your turtle is never around whenever I visit though?"
>"Well, it sounded really arrogant. I didn't see it in any form besides a group of orbs so far. It also tried to break into the dream world or something, though it apparently already broke through once long ago."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"How come your turtle is never around whenever I visit though?"

>"Because he passed away several years ago..." Reimu frowns.

>Mima stops laughing, "Oh... Well, now I feel like a complete ass... You have my sincere condolences."
>"Oh, shut up Mima!"

>"Well, it sounded really arrogant. I didn't see it in any form besides a group of orbs so far. It also tried to break into the dream world or something, though it apparently already broke through once long ago."

>Reimu's eyes widen, "Did you just say... a group of orbs...? ...Were there five of them? Were they grey?"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Yeah, 5 gray orbs. At least until they started to glow blood red and attack me..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Yeah, 5 gray orbs. At least until they started to glow blood red and attack me..."

>"...I know what you're talking about... I've seen it before, a long time ago. That... thing... made me feel uneasy when Genji and I encountered it. It's the only thing that ever legitimately creeped me out..."
>"Oh yeah! I remember that! When you confronted me in Reimaden after facing that thing, you looked so shaken!" Mima lets out an amused cackle.
>"Didn't I just tell you to shut up?"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"I know I should be focusing on the incident, but knowing that that thing is locked on to me and my goddesses specifically just doesn't sit well with me. You've stopped it before, so you can do it again, right?"
>Head back into the Shrine
>"There's also one person who is a major key component in resolving this incident..."
>Locate Kogasa

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I know I should be focusing on the incident, but knowing that that thing is locked on to me and my goddesses specifically just doesn't sit well with me. You've stopped it before, so you can do it again, right?"

>"I don't know. That thing was incredibly resilient. I managed to wound it, but I don't think it's possible to destroy it. If I wounded it again, it will probably come back eventually... Besides, I have no way to get to it. I've only been to this Genmukai place once, and that was because Genji and I were pursuing her." Reimu points at Mima.

>Head back into the Shrine

>You escort Reimu and Mima back towards the entrance of the shrine. A couple of fairies are running around chucking snowballs at each other, while other fairies huddle near a newly relit bonfire, watching the action.
>The three of you enter the shrine.

>"There's also one person who is a major key component in resolving this incident..."
>Locate Kogasa

>You lead Mima and Reimu back to the living room. Kogasa is still fast asleep.
>"Her?" Reimu asks.
>_

[Neovereign]

>Nod in a completely serious manner.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Nod in a completely serious manner.

>"You've got to be kidding me..." Reimu sneers, "Also, don't you hate her?"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"You can't let yourself be held back by common sense Reimu."
>Try to wake her.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"You can't let yourself be held back by common sense Reimu."

>"But exactly how in the hell is Kogasa a 'major key component in resolving this incident?' "

>Try to wake her.

>You kneel down and gently nudge Kogasa's shoulder a few times.
>"Mph.... Is it morning already?" she murmurs.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Okay, you got me. You win Mima... for now. But don't worry, I still have tricks to pull."
>"Yes, everyone else is up already."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Okay, you got me. You win Mima... for now. But don't worry, I still have tricks to pull."

>"How did I get you?" Mima asks.
>"I'm so confused right now." Reimu remarks, "Did you two make a bet or something?"

>"Yes, everyone else is up already."

>"Oh..." Kogasa says as she sits up, rubbing her eyes, "Huh...? Why is Reimu here...?"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"I told Mima that Kogasa would be able to surprise you, Reimu. But I know we can pull it off."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I told Mima that Kogasa would be able to surprise you, Reimu. But I know we can pull it off."

>"Oh, yeah, that." says Mima, "Yeah, I honestly doubt she would be able to do it."
>"You know, I don't like it, but for once I actually agree with you." Reimu responds
>"You do?"
>"Yes." Reimu smirks, "That annoying wimp couldn't even surprise me if she tried."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"That's why I'm going to teach her how to, then you'll be sorry!"
>Lift Kogasa up.
>"Get up Kogasa. You're gonna surprise Reimu. Go for it!"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"That's why I'm going to teach her how to, then you'll be sorry!"

>"Pffft. Good luck with that!" Reimu chuckles.

>Lift Kogasa up.

>You slide an arm under Kogasa's legs and lift her up - complete with the blankets she's under - princess-style.
>She's a bit heavy. Especially with the added weight of the covers.
>"Huh- W-What's going on!?!" she protests.

>"Get up Kogasa. You're gonna surprise Reimu. Go for it!"

>"Wait. What? I-I uh... um... uh..." Kogasa exclaims as she looks around frantically, she then quickly looks at Reimu, "Uuuuuhhh..... BOOGABOOGABOOGA!"
>Reimu promptly bursts out laughing.
>Mima struggles to hold in her own laughter, and ultimately fails to do so.
