Sumireko Quest

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "..."
> Laugh, but then frown.
> "So, in short, you are trying to put it in a sweet way that you need to wipe me out?"

>"Only if you refuse to cooperate." The general tells you. "We prefer to put you in protective custody..."
>"Protective...hah!" Marisa interrupts. "With all those big hunk of metals you guys have all over the village, you don't even look like you're protecting us..."

[Tashi]

> "And if you guys go around pointing those things to everyone you see, like just happened... I highly doubt they'll think you are protecting them."

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "And if you guys go around pointing those things to everyone you see, like just happened... I highly doubt they'll think you are protecting them."

>"She's got a point, ya know." Marisa said to the general. "People have been more 'fraid of you guys than what y'all are protecting us from."
>"That was not our intention. Heavy military presence is bound to instill fear, especially if the local society is a medieval one..." The general tells you.

[Tashi]

> "You can't blame them. Yet, it would be appreciated if you try to be more "light" with these people. You can't expect everyone to follow your orders if you don't give an appropiate trait, which could give you, in return, people here starting to see your military force as enemies."
> Frown.

> Frown.

>"I assure you, Miss Usami, that my men and I wished we could take the 'light' approach with Gensokyo and its inhabitants..." The general says. "But the Lunar Kingdom is the one enemy we cannot take lightly. And with Gensokyo being caught in their genocidal conspiracy, the 'light' approach simply won't do any good..."

[Tashi]

> "Then find a mid-point, or whatever."

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "Then find a mid-point, or whatever."

>"I'm afraid to tell you that this is the mid-point..." The general says, getting impatient. "So, do you accept being in protective custody, for the sake of defeating the Lunarians' genocidal operation?"

[Tashi]

> "And the trick is...?"

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "And the trick is...?"

//uh...what do you mean by saying this? I'm a bit confused.

[Tashi]

//The cons.

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "And the trick is...?"

//thanks for clarifying.

>"You will not be allowed to roam freely around Gensokyo. Not until we put an end to the Lunar Kingdom..." The general says.

[Tashi]

> Frown in thought.
> "And what are the consequences if I say no?"

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> Frown in thought.
> "And what are the consequences if I say no?"

>The general let what you just said sink in...
>He then respond by pulling out a handgun and pointing it at you. "Then we will have to resort to force..."
>You also see the two soldiers pointing their weapons at you and Marisa again.
>"Geez, Sumi..." Marisa complained. "Why did you tell them something they don't wanna hear?"

[Tashi]

> Frown seriously and don't falter.
> "Tell me, and like that you expect everyone to cooperate? I just asked a question."

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> Frown seriously and don't falter.
> "Tell me, and like that you expect everyone to cooperate? I just asked a question."

>The general kept his gun pointed at you for several more seconds before withdrawing it. The two soldiers did the same with theirs.
>"I apologize for the moment just now. I will give you some time to make your decision." The general says.
>"How about some privacy while we're at that?" Marisa cuts in.
>"You and your friend can make discuss inside this building..." The general answers as he points at Kourindou. "My men and I will stay outside while you discuss with each other..."

[AzyWng]

"That reminds me - how long do you expect it will take before you're able to defeat the Lunarians?"

[Lt Colonel Summers]

"That reminds me - how long do you expect it will take before you're able to defeat the Lunarians?"

>"The Lunarians are very powerful. It may take a very long time before they are truly defeated..." The general says.
>Marisa then grabs you by your collar and drags you toward Kourindou.
>"Okay, we're just gonna talk about this with Kourin. Thanks for giving us the privacy." Marisa said to the general.

[Tashi]

> "H-Hey! Don't be so rude!"

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "H-Hey! Don't be so rude!"

>"They gave us privacy. Might as well use it." Marisa told you as she opens the door to Kourindou with one hand while dragging you in with the other.
>She then closes the door behind her.
>"Besides, Reimu doesn't trust these guys. And something tells me that I shouldn't either. Right, Kourin?"
>Rinnosuke was sitting right there, behind his desk. "I don't know if I should trust them or not..." Rinnosuke said to Marisa. "And Marisa, please stop calling me Kourin..."

[Tashi]

> "Let's try to talk in a more low tone... This is privacy, yet  we were able to hear you and that general..."

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "Let's try to talk in a more low tone... This is privacy, yet  we were able to hear you and that general..."

>"Right." Marisa says.
>You and Marisa then approaches Rinnosuke and stand by his sides.
>"So, can we trust them? And should we?" Rinnosuke asked in a whispering tone.

[Tashi]

> "Honestly? I don't even trust them a single bit... but you just saw what they have for us if we don't accept..."
> Frown.
> "Bastards..."

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "Honestly? I don't even trust them a single bit... but you just saw what they have for us if we don't accept..."
> Frown.
> "Bastards..."

>"Yeah. I don't trust them either." Marisa says.
>"I take it that I shouldn't..." Rinnosuke remarks.

[Tashi]

> "We don't have much options besides playing their game, it seems."
> Sigh.
> "How much time has passed since he started to interrogate you? Is there anything else to note to us?"

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "We don't have much options besides playing their game, it seems."
> Sigh.
> "How much time has passed since he started to interrogate you? Is there anything else to note to us?"

>Rinnosuke looked at the cuckoo clock that is hung next to the front door. "About 15 minutes, give or take..."
>The half-Youkai shopkeeper looked around the inside of Kourindou before turning back toward you.
>"My gut instinct tells me that there are at least a dozen more soldiers hidden on the trees..."
>"A dozen more...?" Marisa expressed surprise upon hearing that. "So much for running away..."

[Tashi]

> "... Welp. It seems we have EVEN LESS options to take."
> Sigh.

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "... Welp. It seems we have EVEN LESS options to take."
> Sigh.

>Rinnosuke seemed to glance at an inconspicuous corner in the shop for a while...
>"Perhaps not..." He suddenly said.
>Rinnosuke then stands up, and walks over to that corner.
>Then without making too much noise, he proceeds to remove the floorboard...or rather, a fake floorboard that concealed a cellar.
>"Never thought I would ever have to use this..." You hear Rinnosuke whispering to himself.

[Tashi]

> "... I have to admit. You are full of surprises."
> Say in a slow tone.

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "... I have to admit. You are full of surprises."
> Say in a slow tone.

>"Even I don't know what its used for, but it has been around since the day I first started Kourindou." Rinnosuke said.
>Marisa walks over and looks down the cellar.
>"I dunno...seems pretty deep..." The witch remarked. "Kourin, does this lead to somewhere?"
>"Away from here, definitely..." Rinnosuke answers. "Exactly where, I do not know..."

[Tashi]

> "Do you think we can use this to escape?"
