Hikikomori Quest - Remaking my Life: Part 9

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>"Huh... anyways... i actually am not sure about what IS this... i tried some of it, and it tasted delicious, i don't think Blood is like this..."

> "Nu-uh." Flandre shakes her head. "This is blood. I'm sure."
> "I can ensure it too." Sakuya nods slightly. "I know the smell of the blood perfectly."
> "Hm..." Reimu frowns.

Niji Green:

>"Fairies have a heart too you know ? They don't like just being killed out of a whim like they are a piece of trash."
>Try to absorb that glowing light from the hakkero.
>"Use just enough to melt the ones surround her."

> You try to absorb the light of the hakkero...
> The hakkero is glowing much less.
> "W-What?!" Marisa asks, looking at her tool.

Niji-chan:

>"The... Nuclear Furnace ? Wait... there's a place around here with Nuclear reactions happening ?!"

> "In the Underground." Kanako explains.
> Sanae finishes the bandage and puts the ice cubes atop the forehead of Seija.
> You bracelet is glowing intently.

Daiko:

>"If you destroy things here, we could lose chances at evidence and clues. We'll just be further back than we were before!"

[Monarda]

Niji Green:

>Stop.
>"Whoa."

Niji-chan:

>"Eh ?"
>Examine it.

Kiku-chan:

>"Huh... i always thought blood would taste salty... yet it still doesn't make sense... i wonder if Daiko-kun found any clues..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"If you destroy things here, we could lose chances at evidence and clues. We'll just be further back than we were before!"

> "Marisa..." Alice calls.
> "..." Marisa steps back, lowering her tool.
> Sakura lands. "Phew..."

Niji Green:

>Stop.
>"Whoa."

> You stop.
> "How the hell you did that?" Marisa asks.

Niji-chan:

>"Eh ?"
>Examine it.

> Your bracelet is glowing intently with different colors.
> "Eh?" Both ask.
> You can feel great power from it.

Kiku-chan:

>"Huh... i always thought blood would taste salty... yet it still doesn't make sense... i wonder if Daiko-kun found any clues..."

> Reimu starts to leave.
> "Uuuh? Are you leaving already, Raymoo?" Flandre complains.
> "I have to look into this further."
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Sigh and start examining the lake.

Tsuru:

>Examine the lake as well.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Sigh and start examining the lake.

Tsuru:

>Examine the lake as well.

> The lake and the shore are completely frozen up. Daiyousei was caught by it. And, as obvious as it might sound, Wakasagihime too. But she isn't at the surface, but probably at the deeps of it.
> "Okaaay..." Sakura examines the frozen fairy. "... May I break it?"
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Green:

>"Did you forget ? I can control Light, i can even turn Light into electricity."
>Turn to Sakura-sama and nod.
>"Yes, but BE CAREFUL, it will be like peeling an orange."

Niji-chan:

>"Incredible..."

Kiku-chan:

>"Can you two tell how fresh is this blood ?"

[Tashi]

Niji Green:

>"Did you forget ? I can control Light, i can even turn Light into electricity."
>Turn to Sakura-sama and nod.
>"Yes, but BE CAREFUL, it will be like peeling an orange."

> "My magic isn't common "light", you know!"
> "Drop it, Marisa." Alice sighs.
> "Of course!" Sakura looks at Daiyousei. "Now, how to break it gently..."

Niji-chan:

>"Incredible..."

> "Is that... Marisa's magic power?" Sanae asks.
> "Hm... It clearly is... Tell me, fairy. How did you gathered Marisa's magic there?" Kanako raises an eyebrow interested.
> ... You have the feeling that your bracelet will break or something if you don't do anything.

Kiku-chan:

>"Can you two tell how fresh is this blood ?"

> Flandre looks at you, confused.
> "... It's very recent." Sakuya is the one that answers. "Maybe some seconds ago?"
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Hold up."
>Head outside and try to make a clone using that magic.
>If unsuccessful try very slowly releasing the light.

Niji Green:

>"I know it's magical light... but it's still light in essence..."

Kiku-chan:

>"What ? But... where did it come from ? Why is the room so damaged like this ? This doesn't make sense... you should have stopped time and gone ahead of us... it could have given us an clue of the culprit."

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"Hold up."
>Head outside and try to make a clone using that magic.
>If unsuccessful try very slowly releasing the light.

> You exit the shrine.
> You start doing the process to create a new cl-
> Suddenly, all the light accumulates in front of you. An sphere is formed...

Niji Green:

>"I know it's magical light... but it's still light in essence..."

> "Humph..." Marisa looks away.
> Sakura starts to hit the ice around Daiyousei. She starts lightly, increasing the force used as she sees fit.

Kiku-chan:

>"What ? But... where did it come from ? Why is the room so damaged like this ? This doesn't make sense... you should have stopped time and gone ahead of us... it could have given us an clue of the culprit."

> "You are right. I wasn't expecting something like this..." Sakuya nods.
> "But... Nobody was here..."
> "You were asleep, Young Mistress, so it's possible. Specially with everything that's happening."
> "Uh? What do you mean?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Kiku:

>"It seems like there's others moving around while people are asleep..."

Daiko:

>Try to IkoVision the fairy again.

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>"It seems like there's others moving around while people are asleep..."

Daiko:

>Try to IkoVision the fairy again.

> "Indeed."
> "Huuuh? So someone was with me while asleep?" Flandre asks.

> You try to vision the fairy again...
> ... Nothing happens.

> (Niji) The sphere disappears... and there's another you... but different...
> _

[Neovereign]

Niji:

>Examine her.

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Whoa..."

Kiku-chan:

>Nod.
>"Many things have been happening lately...a lot of people were kidnapped from the Village."

Niji Green:

>"Uhm, Miss Marisa, can i ask an question ?"

[Tashi]

Niji:

>Examine her.

> The hair of this Niji is different from yours. She's blonde, and also has a longer hair aside of the ponytails, much like Marisa. Her dress is black, while the ribbon in her back is white. Her wings are white. She's wearing brown boots. In fact, she doesn't look that much like you... it's like a mixture between you and Marisa.

Niji-chan:

>"Whoa..."

> "Hi-ho~." She says, smiling.

Kiku-chan:

>Nod.
>"Many things have been happening lately...a lot of people were kidnapped from the Village."

> "Huh? Does that mean you are bringing me food?" Flandre glances at Sakuya.
> "This wasn't the doing of any of us, Young Mistress."
> "Oh..."

Niji Green:

>"Uhm, Miss Marisa, can i ask an question ?"

> "Wazzup?" Marisa asks.
> "Almost there, Dai, don't worry..." Sakura keeps hitting the frozen fairy.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Green:

>"Do you know of any magicians or any people that had enough knowledge of nature to create a fairy ?"

Niji-chan:

>"Hm... i wonder who are you..."
>Poke her.

Kiku-chan:

>Shake our head.
>"We think some other vampire or something kidnapped them... in fact, it wasn't just humans, it was anyone that looked like a child, so even fairies were taken too..."

[Tashi]

Niji Green:

>"Do you know of any magicians or any people that had enough knowledge of nature to create a fairy ?"

> "Well... I don't know anyone that can do something like that."
> "... Maybe I do..." Alice mumbles.

Niji-chan:

>"Hm... i wonder who are you..."
>Poke her.

> You poke the other Niji.
> "I am you, and you are me. Since I am you, and you are me, it's rather a silly question, other me. Now, given we are Niji and I and you are the same, maybe you just need to call me Niji... but since you are the original me, and I am the mix between you and the power of the Master Spark of Marisa-san, I need something to make me differentiate from you, which also means me." She then pokes you back.

Kiku-chan:

>Shake our head.
>"We think some other vampire or something kidnapped them... in fact, it wasn't just humans, it was anyone that looked like a child, so even fairies were taken too..."

> Flandre perks up, showing you one of the most happy smiles you have ever seen.
> "Other vampire?!" She jumps from the bed. "REALLY?!"
> "... It's not exactly confirmed..." Sakuya speaks.
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku-chan:

>Nod.
>"Plus if it is one then they are definitely not friendly at all."

Niji-chan:

>"Huh... let's ask the others for help."
>Lead her back inside.

Niji Green:

>"Eh ?! Really ?!"
>Perk up.

[Tashi]

Kiku-chan:

>Nod.
>"Plus if it is one then they are definitely not friendly at all."

> "I hope not." Flandre says. "I'm curious how other vampires look like!"
> "I don't think they will look so different."
> "How they are, I mean! Oooh, only thinking about it makes me excited!" Flandre beams. "Speaking of them... ... How's Onee-sama? Is she okay? After the thing of yesterday, I mean..."
> Sakuya shows a bit of surprise at Flandre's question. It's most likely that this is one of the few times that Flandre asks about the well-being of her sister.

Niji-chan:

>"Huh... let's ask the others for help."
>Lead her back inside.

> "Hmm... Maybe Nijirisa? ... Ugh, that doesn't sound right... Mariji? Nope, it's worse..." She adopts a thinking face, tapping her chin with her finger. "... Master Niji? Oh, that sounds cool... Niji Spark? Oooh..." She follows you, still talking to herself.
> "What's wro-" Sanae stop speaking when she sees the other you. "... Uuuh..."
> "... Did you went outside to create a clone?" Kanako asks.

Niji Green:

>"Eh ?! Really ?!"
>Perk up.

> "I-It's not like you think it... Long... LONG time ago I knew someone who visited Makai-"
> "Y-You used to live in Makai?" Sakura asks in surprise, stopping what she's doing.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Well uhh... i am not really sure if clone is the right term now... because i used the energy i managed to gather from Miss Marisa, and... she is the result."

Kiku-chan:

>"She looked fine to me, albeit upset due to what happened..."

Niji Green:

>"Eh ? What's the big deal about it ?"

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"Well uhh... i am not really sure if clone is the right term now... because i used the energy i managed to gather from Miss Marisa, and... she is the result."

> "Hi~." She waves.
> "She... indeed looks a lot like Marisa..." Kanako nods slowly.
> "Uhm... May I ask the other thing again? How you were able to do that with Marisa's powers?" Asks Sanae.

Kiku-chan:

>"She looked fine to me, albeit upset due to what happened..."

> Flandre looks down. "Uuuh..."

Niji Green:

>"Eh ? What's the big deal about it ?"

> "I never met someone from there. Ever. It's quite amazing." Sakura giggles and continues.
> "... Like I was saying before being interrupted..." Alice then clears her throat. "Someone paid a visit to Makai long time ago..."
> "Huh, I never heard this story..." Marisa mumbles, paying attention to Alice.
> Hourai and Shanghai look at each other, confused.
> "... I have very blurry memories of her, but I remember she was practicing... "the arts of life", said in her own words, if I recall correctly."
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Green:

>"Uh... you just did yesterday remember ? Um... Koakuma ? Succubus native of Makai ?"
>Poke her.

Niji-chan:

>"Well you see, Miss Marisa's magic revolves around light correct ? So even if it light magic, it still has light as it's essence, and because i am able to manipulate many, many kinds of light, i was easily able to absorb it."

Kiku-chan:

>"Yeah... honestly i wouldn't blame her if she were to be having an tantrum right now..."

[Tashi]

Niji Green:

>"Uh... you just did yesterday remember ? Um... Koakuma ? Succubus native of Makai ?"
>Poke her.

> "Oh, true." Sakura giggles as you poke her.
> Daiyousei's ice is almost all broken.
> "Aaaside of that, what are the whereabouts of that girl?" Marisa asks to Alice.
> She shrugs in response. "She never told us where she lived, nor why she was there in Makai."

Niji-chan:

>"Well you see, Miss Marisa's magic revolves around light correct ? So even if it light magic, it still has light as it's essence, and because i am able to manipulate many, many kinds of light, i was easily able to absorb it."

> "That sounds... broad..."
> "Neaty, isn't it? Ze~."

Kiku-chan:

>"Yeah... honestly i wouldn't blame her if she were to be having an tantrum right now..."

> Sakuya clears her throat. "Young Mistress, excuse me..."
> The blood from the floor suddenly disappears.
> "Uh?" Flandre asks.

> (Red) You... start to stir... So much sounds around...
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Green:

>"... !?! Maybe she was my creator !"

Niji-chan:

>"Huh... looks like you don't look like her only, but act like her too..."

Niji Red:

>"Nnn...."
>Get up...

Kiku-chan:

>Chuckle.
>"As efficient as always."

[Tashi]

Niji Green:

>"... !?! Maybe she was my creator !"

> "I-I can't ensure anything, since I said "maybe"..." Alice frowns thoughtfully. "I don't know if she was or is able to go to the extent to create a fairy."
> "Do you remember her name?" Sakura asks.
> "..." Alice is silent for some seconds, thinking. "... Ah. Vera Claythorne." She nods.

Niji-chan:

>"Huh... looks like you don't look like her only, but act like her too..."

> "And like you too." She grins, but suddenly that grin disappears and is replaced by a confused face. "... Did I really said "ze"?"
> Kanako and Sanae nod.
> "... I swear it was completely unconscious." She giggles.

Niji Red:

>"Nnn...."
>Get up...

> You start to get up, but you feel reeeally lazy to do so...
> Everthing around you is dark. The light of the room is off.
> You can hear voices outside.
> "... Gimme a break."
> "Why you invited her to sleep at your room?"
> "I said gimme a break! She saved my life! It was the least thing I could do!"

Kiku-chan:

>Chuckle.
>"As efficient as always."

> Sakuya only smiles at your statement.
> "We'll leave, Young Mistress. If you need anything, just call."
> "Wait! I want to talk with Kiku really quickly!"
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Red:

>Try heading outside.

Niji Green:

>"Hmm... i wish i remembered more about my past..."

Niji-chan:

>"Ehehe..."
>Smile.
>"Hmm, so uh... does that mean you can do a bit of what Miss Marisa does ?"

Kiku-chan:

>"Huh ? What for Flan ?"

[Tashi]

Niji Red:

>Try heading outside.

> It's a bit difficult to travel the room with all the things in the floor, so you make a bit of a sound when you do so.
> "Oh, she's probably awake."
> The door opens, letting the lights of the hallway in the room.
> "Good morning." Nitori greets.
> "Hi." Other kappas wave at you.

Niji Green:

>"Hmm... i wish i remembered more about my past..."

> "That's very much something unlikely to happen." Marisa speaks. "... Uh, no offense. It's just hard for wishes to come true that easily."
> "Sorry if that wasn't able to help you..." Alice sighs.
> "Okaaay..." Sakura speaks. "And now... the finisher!"
> The oni hits one more time the ice around Daiyousei, breaking it completely...
> "Aaa-a-aah..." Daiyousei expresses, holding her arms while trembling. "S-S-So coo-o-old..."

Niji-chan:

>"Ehehe..."
>Smile.
>"Hmm, so uh... does that mean you can do a bit of what Miss Marisa does ?"

> "Oh!"
> The new Niji searches for something in the knot of the ribbon in her dress.
> Then, she pulls out a card.
> "There ya' go!" She shows it to you.
> It's a spellcard... Love Sign "Little Spark".
> "L-Little Spark? L-Like the Master Spark?" Sanae asks.
> "But smaller." The new Niji grins.

Kiku-chan:

>"Huh ? What for Flan ?"

> "... Sorry about all the ruckus of yesterday." Flandre apologizes.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>"Wow... not even i expected that..."

Kiku-chan:

>"Oh, don't worry about it Flan, everyone has a bad day."
>Nod.
>"Just remember to do your best for a better future."

Niji Green:

>Make an light sphere and approach it to Daiyousei, that might heat her up a bit.

[Tashi]

Niji-chan:

>"Wow... not even i expected that..."

> "Even when we share thoughts? That's amusing, ze~!" She chuckles.
> "... Marisa 2 I shall call you." Kanako jokes.
> "Nnh..." Seija stirs.

Kiku-chan:

>"Oh, don't worry about it Flan, everyone has a bad day."
>Nod.
>"Just remember to do your best for a better future."

> "Uh!" Flan nods an smiles. "Okay."
> Sakuya smiles.

Niji Green:

>Make an light sphere and approach it to Daiyousei, that might heat her up a bit.

> You make a light sphere and let it get closer to Daiyousei. Fortunely, it seems to work.
> "T-Thanks..." She looks at you and smiles.
> "What happened, Dai?" Asks Mystia as she examines the lake.
> "We have to get Wakasagihime out there..." Sakura says.
> "I-I don't know... I was with Cirno and... ... Cirno?!" Daiyousei looks around.
> _

[Neovereign]

//Apologies for my inactivity~
Daiko:

>"Now Wakasagihime... Tsuru?"
>Assess current horn energies, if any.

Tsuru:

>"Wondering why you didn't ask if I could melt it earlier... Also, I'd like my clothes back from Aya soon..."
>Start using fire magic to melt the lake.

Niji Red:
>"Good morning."
>Rub our eyes.
