Kiku:

>How many tiles are there again ?
>"I'll tell you all ! But first, we need to leave and give the others here peace of mind ! COME ! I shall tell you which one is the prettiest !"
>Lead the tiles away !

Niji:

>"Huuuuuh..."

> You can't really count them like this... But if you recall correctly, there should be twenty one?
> "Hai miss!"
> The tiles follow you as you move away from the group.

> "... What was that, Patchouli?" Alice questions.
> "That other gatekeeper, Elly, tiles. I gave them speech... I am kinda regretting that." She sighs.

Tsuru:

>Smile.
>"Heh... you're too cute like that..."

> "C-Cute!? I-I don't feel anything...!" Elly keeps feeling.
> "W-Wait... you mean..."

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

Kiku:

>"Okay, first off, how are you doing ?"

Niji:

>"They look funny."

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"Eh ?"

Kiku:

>"Okay, first off, how are you doing ?"

Niji:

>"They look funny."

> "C-Can you give me a moment?" Elly quickly rushes inside.

> The tiles start to speak and interrupt each other, while others speak without restraint. Not getting a single thing of what they are saying...

> "Flying tiles. How... rare..." Alice says.
> "I was just as you are right now."

[Monarda]

Niji:

>"But why tiles ?"

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"Oi !"
>Follow her.

Kiku:

>"Wait wait waaaaaaaaait ! One at a time each please."

Niji:

>"But why tiles ?"

> You follow Elly, and she stops you.
> "W-Wait! I am going to... check myself!"

> They fall silent.
> ...
> ...
> And keep silent.
> It seems they are waiting for one of them to speak first...

> "Ask Elly."

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>"You lost it too didn't ya ? Don't worry, i'm just gonna make sure nobody messes with you."

Niji:

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

Kiku:

>"Okay, Tile 1, please speak now."

> "Y-You just can't be sure I diiid! That's why I am going to check myself! I-I don't feel I have my... p-pan... ... Y-Yea! That's why I am going to check! So please give me a moment!" Elly continues.

> You attempt to pet Patchouli, but her timing was so perfect that she started to walk elsewhere.

> "Obviously, miss, I am the prettiest." Tile One 01 speaks.
> "I disagree!" Other speaks.

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>"ELLY !"
>Grab her.
>"Lying is bad, i'll escort you."
>Follow Elly.

Niji:

>Attempt again.

Kiku:

>"Hold."
>Do the tiles all look and sound the same ?
>"So what exactly is beauty to you Tile 1 ?"

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"ELLY !"
>Grab her.
>"Lying is bad, i'll escort you."
>Follow Elly.

Niji:

>Attempt again.

Kiku:

>"Hold."
>Do the tiles all look and sound the same ?
>"So what exactly is beauty to you Tile 1 ?"

> You grab Elly.
> "I-I can't just have you loook...!" Elly blushes fiercely.

> You attempt again, being successful this time.
> "What are you doing?" She asks.

> They look all the same. Even if that is so, their voices sound really alike, but not the same.
> "That is, of course, being the cleanest tile! Which is ME!"
> The other tiles start to argue about that...
> _

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>"I won't, trust me."
>Stare at her with honesty.

Niji:

>"Petting you."
>Keep petting.

Kiku:

>"HOOOOLD."
>Raise a hand signalling for silence.
>"Cleanest you say, then would you all want for a cleaning session ? I could clean you."

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"I won't, trust me."
>Stare at her with honesty.

Niji:

>"Petting you."
>Keep petting.

Kiku:

>"HOOOOLD."
>Raise a hand signalling for silence.
>"Cleanest you say, then would you all want for a cleaning session ? I could clean you."

> You stare, and Elly consider.
> "But you will be outside. Or behind a wall. O-Or whatever..."

> You keep petting, and Patchouli sighs as she walks to a shelf.

> "Being clean doesn't mean you are the most beautiful, One 01!"
> "Dare to say that again, Four 04!"
> _

[Monarda]

Kiku:

>"You know, beauty isn't just about looks, every one of you have their own share of beauty unique to you."

Niji:

>"Miss Patchouli, why are you so small ?"

Tsuru:

>Nod.

[Tashi]

Kiku:

>"You know, beauty isn't just about looks, every one of you have their own share of beauty unique to you."

Niji:

>"Miss Patchouli, why are you so small ?"

Tsuru:

>Nod.

> "But there must be one that is the prettiest, Miss!" A tile says. "Of course! There is no other than me!"
> Argument again...

> "Excuse me?"

> You nod as Elly heads inside the mansion.
> _

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>Follow.

Niji:

>"You don't look as tall as the other girls."

Kiku:

>"HALT !"
>Firmly silence them.
>"But why there must be one that is prettiest ?"

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>Follow.

Niji:

>"You don't look as tall as the other girls."

Kiku:

>"HALT !"
>Firmly silence them.
>"But why there must be one that is prettiest ?"

> You follow Elly inside.
> There, you see she is looking around.
> "... N-No one around..." She says. "S-Stay outside. AND D-DON'T PEEK!"

> Patchouli shrugs.

> "If not, then what's the point? There needs to be always one that is better than anyone else in some aspect."
> _

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>Nod.
>Guard the door to her.

Niji:

>"And why are you so pale and flat ?"

Kiku:

>"But why ?"

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>Nod.
>Guard the door to her.

Niji:

>"And why are you so pale and flat ?"

Kiku:

>"But why ?"

> You guard.
> And wait...
> ...
> ...
> ...
> Then, as if it was matter of time, the greatest shriek you ever heard in your life comes right behind the door, where Elly should be.

> "Why are you asking me that?"

> "Because we have to! We must know who is the prettiest of all of us! Of course, that is me!"
> ARGUMENT.

[meow56]

Tsuru:
>"You all right in there?"

[Tashi]

Tsuru:
>"You all right in there?"

> "I DON'T HAVE IIIT!!" You hear Elly...

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Current location?

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Current location?

> Arriving to the known hole.
> You can see Marisa and Reimu at the shrine. You think there's Niji too... Or a clone.
> _

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>Sigh.
>"Wasn't it obvious ? Go get another one."

Niji:

>"Because i'm worried."

Kiku:

>"But in the end, does it even matter ? Being the prettiest doesn't change the fact that to Elly you are all equally important."

Nijisa:

>So how has the discussion gone so far ?

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>Sigh.
>"Wasn't it obvious ? Go get another one."

Niji:

>"Because i'm worried."

Kiku:

>"But in the end, does it even matter ? Being the prettiest doesn't change the fact that to Elly you are all equally important."

Nijisa:

>So how has the discussion gone so far ?

> "No, it wasnt'!"
> Elly peeks out.
> "T-That means someone saw meee!"

> "Don't be, then." Patchouli rolls her eyes.

> "Elly! THAT'S RIGHT!" One 01 says. "She will be the one to decide who is the prettiest!"
> "Yea! She knows us a lot, so she must be the referee!"
> "We aren't wrestling!"
> There's argument... yet again.

> Reimu lets Marisa have the bag. She doesn't care about it...
> Marisa is preparing to leave with part of the contents of the bag. Then return and keep doing it like that until everything is in her house.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Continue.

> You continue onwards.
> "You upset?" Kokoro asks.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Not really, I guess. Well, I made Mystia upset, I think..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Not really, I guess. Well, I made Mystia upset, I think..."

> "And Cirno." She adds.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Whatever..."
