Sakuya Quest 5 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> "Oh, you could ask Reimu without a doubt. She won, after all."

>"Yeah, but that would look really bad..." Mitsu says.

>What exactly do we remember from that specific incident that involved the Moriya Shrine ?

>Not a lot, honestly. You had just begun your retirement, then.

>_

[Monarda]

>Do we at least know what was their plan ? What they intended to do ?

[Hello Purvis]

>Do we at least know what was their plan ? What they intended to do ?

>As you understand it, they were taking over Youkai Mountain and setting themselves up as a power group.

>_

[Monarda]

>"I see, nevertheless, that is the truth, Reimu did most of the incident solving work, and was the main lynchpin of Gensokyo, and probably still is because of the Hakurei Barrier."

[Hello Purvis]

>"I see, nevertheless, that is the truth, Reimu did most of the incident solving work, and was the main lynchpin of Gensokyo, and probably still is because of the Hakurei Barrier."

>"Yeah, well," says Mitsu, "They aren't that great. We beat 'em to stuff all the time!"

>_

[Monarda]

>"They don't worry much about minor stuff, what is troubling them though, is this warlord that has been heard of... and honestly, i doubt they care about competing with you it seems."

[Hello Purvis]

>"They don't worry much about minor stuff, what is troubling them though, is this warlord that has been heard of... and honestly, i doubt they care about competing with you it seems."

>"Oh, they care," says Mitsu. "They hate it when Sachiko beats them to it."

>_

[Monarda]

>Shrug.
>"Oh well, either way, at least Reimu is getting donations like she deserves, she worked hard for them."

[Monarda]

//Oh, by the way, if you can do it, two can play it, do you mind if i also take Mitsu back with us ? It would be a great experience for her.

[Kilgamayan]

I was actually strongly considering it myself, but I wasn't going to offer until after the enigma of the crush was resolved.

[Hello Purvis]

>Shrug.
>"Oh well, either way, at least Reimu is getting donations like she deserves, she worked hard for them."

>"We work pretty hard too, though," says Mitsu. "I don't see any Hakureis doing this kind of thing." She gestures out a nearby window.

>_

[Monarda]

>Look at said window.

[Hello Purvis]

>Look at said window.

>You see the street, currently with a few people bustling about this way and that. You suspect she means Apex as a whole.

>_

[the old guy]

>"Why would they? Their job is to defend Gensokyo, not build cities.

[Monarda]

>"And honestly, if you have this all covered up, then that probably means they think you are better suited to care for the development of a society like this, the Moriyas were always kind about technological development after all."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Why would they? Their job is to defend Gensokyo, not build cities.

>"It's their job to make the world a better place," says Mitsu.

>"And honestly, if you have this all covered up, then that probably means they think you are better suited to care for the development of a society like this, the Moriyas were always kind about technological development after all."

>Mitsu purses her lips. "I guess I can see where you're coming from, but you have to do more than just one thing, you know?"

>_

[Monarda]

>"I can see your point, however we can't really talk about what they should do if we don't know their point of view, and looking at how much the Moriya Shrine has at their disposal regarding funds, manpower and technology, compared to the simple shrine Reimu has and the few members of it, it makes it really hard for them to step up to your ideas or respond to a call as quickly as your shrine maiden correct ?"
>Shrug.
>"Honestly, i am just a chief maid, i had my days of incident solving too but they are gone now, so my work is mostly cleaning, cooking, and guiding the fairy maids, i just said what i can perceive and the truth i experienced."
>

[the old guy]

>"And isn't it unfair to criticize her for not doing much when she has barely any resources?

[Hello Purvis]

>"And isn't it unfair to criticize her for not doing much when she has barely any resources?

>"They have shrines all over Gensokyo, though," says Mitsu. "Heck, they have one here, somewhere."

>_

[the old guy]

>"What?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"What?"

>"You didn't know that?" says Mitsu. "They've got shrines in every town."

>_

[Monarda]

>"Well that is a surprise, i must have missed them all."
>Smile.
>"This feels more like what she deserves, back in the day, her shrine barely got any donations."
>What time is it ?
>"Well, nevertheless, it is a hard topic to talk about, how about we go for something else ? I told you about myself, so tell me about yourself."

[Hello Purvis]

>Smile.

>What time is it ?
>"Well, nevertheless, it is a hard topic to talk about, how about we go for something else ? I told you about myself, so tell me about yourself."

>"I suppose," says Mitsu. "And did she really not get any donations? That sounds like a bad joke."
>It is afternoon.
>"Oh, well, um, what do you wanna know?" says Mitsu.

>_

[Monarda]

>"I am serious, she barely got any, and how about what do you usually do for work ? Besides taking care of that machine."

[Hello Purvis]

>"I am serious, she barely got any, and how about what do you usually do for work ? Besides taking care of that machine."

>"Oh, I work for the Moriya Shrine," says Mitsu. "Taking care of that thing is my job! It does give me a lot of free time, but I'm on call pretty much all the time, though it doesn't happen too often."

>_

[Monarda]

>"What about hobbies ? You have any ?"
>What about our own hobbies ?

[Hello Purvis]

>"What about hobbies ? You have any ?"
>What about our own hobbies ?

>"I do a lot of work with water pumping," says Mitsu. "I'm on the verge of a breakthrough!"
>This doesn't mean as much as it sounds like. Every kappa is on the verge of a breakthrough when asked about their work.
>As for yourself, when you have a little time, you like to read. When there's more time, and weather permits, you enjoy fishing. Also you tend to wander sometimes, and visit people. You used to have a habit of visiting Kourindou, but since what happened with Rinnosuke, this really isn't an option anymore. Sometimes you visit him, when he seems to be doing well.

[Monarda]

>"Do you read anything ? Besides manuals of course."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Do you read anything ? Besides manuals of course."

>"Uh...sometimes I'll find a cheap novel..." says Mitsu. fidgeting.

>_

[Monarda]

>"You should try reading a bit more, some books might teach you something no manual can."
