Sumireko Quest

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "You don't know where's their base?"

>"No..." Reimu answers you.

[Tashi]

> Tap our chin in thought.
> "... Let's ask the others. You said they are all over Gensokyo, right?"
> Nod.
> "Well, maybe Mokou know something about them."

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> Tap our chin in thought.
> "... Let's ask the others. You said they are all over Gensokyo, right?"
> Nod.
> "Well, maybe Mokou know something about them."

>"That Hourai Immortal?" Reimu said with a frown. "Can we really trust her?"

[Rin Satsuki]

> "Do you have a better idea?"

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "Do you have a better idea?"

>"I do." Reimu answered you. "Marisa had another friend living in the Forest Of Magic..."

[AzyWng]

>"Who? Do you think she'll know where the Outside Military is?"

[Lt Colonel Summers]

>"Who? Do you think she'll know where the Outside Military is?"

>"No, I was thinking more along the lines of asking her where Marisa could've gone to." Reimu says.

[Tashi]

> "Maybe you are right. Someone had to hear the shoots... and someona had to see Marisa's Master Spark."
> Sage nod.

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "Maybe you are right. Someone had to hear the shoots... and someona had to see Marisa's Master Spark."
> Sage nod.

>"She should have, what's with her house within walking distance from Marisa's." Reimu says.
>She then takes off into the air.
>"That said, we shouldn't waste any more time..."

[Tashi]

> Nod and float a bit.
> "Ready when you are to find, uh, this person I don't know."

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> Nod and float a bit.
> "Ready when you are to find, uh, this person I don't know."

>"Follow me." Reimu tells you.
>She then heads off toward one direction.
>"But stay on alert. The Foreign Military are everywhere."

[Tashi]

> "Ain't something you have to remind me."
> Follow her.

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "Ain't something you have to remind me."
> Follow her.

>You follow Reimu.

...

>It didn't even take more than a minute to get to whatever location Reimu has in mind.
>The two of you landed near what looked like a western cottage. Compared with Marisa's house, this cottage has a distinctively European feel to it. It is also very clean and tidy, unlike Marisa's house.
>"Here we are..." Reimu tells you. "This is where Marisa's other friend lives."

//You should be able to guess who this person this. But it is unlikely Sumireko knows who she is, as they did not meet each other in canon...

[Tashi]

> "... Tidy, tidy, tidy..."
> Grin.
> "Compared to Marisa's, this is heaven..."

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "... Tidy, tidy, tidy..."
> Grin.
> "Compared to Marisa's, this is heaven..."

>"I know." Reimu remarks.
>She then approaches the front door of the cottage, and gently knocks on it.
>"Coming." You hear someone calling out from inside the cottage.
>Reimu then turns toward you. "She can take quite a while, sometimes..."

[Tashi]

> "Let me guess... She's the kind of "exquisite" girl?"

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "Let me guess... She's the kind of "exquisite" girl?"

>"Maybe..." Reimu shrugs.
>Before anything else can be said, the front door of the cottage opened from the inside.
>Standing behind the now open door is a young woman with short blonde hair with a red hair band. She wears a light blue dress with long white sleeves and a long pink ribbon going round her neck and another one round her waist.
>"Oh, Reimu. What brings you here today?" The young woman asked Reimu, with a British accent (different in some way than the Foreign Soldiers' from back at Kourindou). "And who is this girl here?" She added as she notices you.

[Tashi]

> "Sumireko Usami, miss... uh..."

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "Sumireko Usami, miss... uh..."

>"Alice Margatroid." The young woman introduces herself. "But you can call me Alice."
>Just as Alice finishes introducing herself, Reimu cuts in.
>"This is important, Alice..." Reimu tells her. "Have you seen Marisa?"
>Alice seemed to check her surroundings before telling the both of you, "Come in. Ears are everywhere..."

[Tashi]

> "Hm..."
> Enter the house when she let us.

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "Hm..."
> Enter the house when she let us.

>Alice stood at the front door, waiting for you and Reimu to respond.
>"Should I go prepare some tea while I wait for you to decide to come in?" Alice asked the two of you, in a very deadpan manner.

[Tashi]

> Look at Reimu.
> "... Do you have a problem with it?"

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> Look at Reimu.
> "... Do you have a problem with it?"

>"No..." Reimu says. "After all, its much safer to talk inside, what's with the Foreign Military being everywhere..."

[Tashi]

> "Then it's decided."
> Look at Alice and nod.

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "Then it's decided."
> Look at Alice and nod.

>You do so.
>"Come in, then." Alice says as she turns and walks inside.

[Tashi]

> Get in.
> Look around.

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> Get in.
> Look around.

>You and Reimu go inside Alice's house.
>Alice led the two of you to what you think is her living room. You see three sofas around a small tea table in one side of the room that has a window. The walls are lined with shelves that are holding a few paintings and pictures of Alice with some other people*¹...and loads and loads of dolls of identical designs.

*¹: The characters of Mystic Square

[Tashi]

> "... Cute..."

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "... Cute..."

>Neither Reimu nor Alice heard your comment on the dolls.
>"You came here to ask me about Marisa. What about her?" Alice asks you as she sits down on one of the sofas.
>Reimu points at you. "Tell her." She tells you.

[Tashi]

> How much time do we think has passed since we came escaped?
