Title: Greater Centenary Festival - Heavenly Cross/I
Post by: Tashi on September 18, 2017, 04:26:59 AM
Parser's Note:

Welcome to the 1st Cross Quest.

Now, most of you are wondering what is happening and why I make it sound so special. Let me explain to you what is this all about.

'Cross Quest' is referred to the series I will be creating from now on. The 'cross' between Quests. Either completed or not.
To be more deep in the matter: I create X story that will be the main point of the Cross Quest. Then, I will choose the story/elements of another Quest and add them to the main story. Like that, the universes of diverses Quests will be merged into one.
Retelling an already complete game isn't fun, so I'll take the freedom to alter the story/elements added so they fit on the main story and the meta can't be used. Some things might be left unchanged, others not. But please, keep in mind that, even if things aren't altered, I am still a different parser from the one that runned X or Y Quest. Therefore, the style will be different.

But to add more sauce to the grill, the Quests participating in the 'Cross Quest' at hand won't be revealed until the end of the game. So, if you are player that participed at certain Quest and you notice it was added to the Cross, it is completely allowed for you to tell the other players about it. Don't worry. If it reaches the ears of the parser, it will act accordingly~.

In this case, he Cross Quest that we have at hand is 'Heavenly Cross'.
This story is directly linked to Hikikomori Quest, which you can be seen as some sort of prologue.
But fear not! The beginning of Heavenly Cross doesn't even need a bit of knowledge from that prologue to participate!.
However, later it will be required if you don't want to be extremely lost.
But fear not, again!
I'll be summarize here the 14 parts that establish Hikikomori Quest when needed. In a single post. You will just need to read a long wall of text (I presume it will be like that) and you will be aware of things. If you have any doubts after that, feel free to ask and the parser (maybe even the players of HikiQuest) will answer to your questions.

Welcome to the Greater Centenary Festival.

Please, I hope you enjoy it to your heart's content the tale that will be weaved here.

--Tashi ❤



...


November 17
2133 A.D.


Twilight Bar Room
Shimogyō-ku. Kyoto, Japan.

The woman holding the cross, no longer a little girl, is facing her laptop while she listens to the best hits of one of the biggest Eurobeat Singers out there.

...

Well, she could listen to them well if it weren't for the raucous party-goers that are having the most wild party at date.

Tonight is November 17. That means only one thing.
The birthday of her 'Mother', and that could only mean pure destruction and people vomiting the food they just ate. Not like she has ALL the fault, but stupid the party-goers for wanting more and more always. Add up heavy alcoholism while dancing and you got a messy mix.
That, and that she's going to kill whoever who tries to mess with her bar.
Should the woman facing her laptop, hearing all the screams of excitement and music, and of course not being able to hear anything from her favorite singer, worry about all these people?
Maybe not. Amakasu probably could control things too.
That, or he'll get killed too.
Ah, who cares...

The woman facing her laptop sighs. She has been watching the latest news.

The most booming singer of Eurobeat, Kazami-san, has been deprived of her right to object! The evidence is convincing and legit!

That was pretty much in one of those hundreds, and maybe thousands, of sensationalist and stupidly crowded 'media' that just act like attention whores.
The worst is that they DO get audience with this garbage!
They are so disgusting.

The woman holding the cross turns off her laptop as soon as she gets annoyed of such yellowing towards a person who is not only very good at what she does, but also that she would not be able to do something like that. She loves what she does and isn't affected by competitions, AND even so, they do not give a damn. They don't give a damn if they, at the slightest chance, can ruin someone's life for the sake of some audience.
Just what kind of world we live in? Did we advanced or did we went backwards in rant?
Certainly, because companies like the Sumadera International News, the very first ones who started all this mess, the world doesn't advance further from where it is.
Ah, just give it a break... Let's put the thing aside...
The woman holding the cross lies on bed and, despite the loudness of the sounds around her, which she was attuned to, falls asleep. Like any night...

...

> ... Ah, dear silence.
> You could sleep much more if you wanted, in a desperate desire to hold onto this silence that isn't always with you.
> But you have classes to attend...
> ...
> The decision is made. Classes come first. After this, you will be able to hold as much sleep as you want until the next day.
> And so... You, the woman holding the cross, starts to wake up...

> Stoic and almost always maintaining a personality with charisma, you are a cordial person, gentle, but above all the already said, somewhat cold towards others. It's something you can't control, really. You just can't get on with other people. Therefore, you try to keep your distance from others as much as you can. This isn't the case with those that are already close to you. You are still distant with them, but with more freedom to express what is in your mind.
> You have long silver hair which it is not arranged in any special way. You take care of it, but the only time you arrange it in a determined way is when you take it into a pony-tail when you exercise (How good would it be to have an artist draw the characters...)
> Your eyes are as normal as anyone else. A deep black that stare deep into the souls of whoever look directly at them... if they ever want to.
> White underwear is covering your femenine figure. Slender, not so tall and delicate figure is what you would expect from someone of your age. The average, c'mon. Your chest measures aren't that great. Not so small, but neither is an 'attention drawer'.

>You are, as obvious as it is, an almost normal human like everyone else that lives in the all-famous and most visited place of all Kyoto; the Twilight Bar Room. The place where heavy drinkers and party-goers can unleash their most wild dreams as long as they can be in the legal ambit. Nevertheless, this doesn't stop for certain activities from taking place, given the almost-all-the-time dubious intentions of your 'mother'.

November 18. 06:34 AM.


> Isn't that convenient? You usually wake up at 07:00 AM, classes starting at 08:30 AM. Considering when you wake up, prepare yourself, take the usual route to Kyoto University which is in Nishikyō-ku, it takes at most an hour. Enough time to pass the remaining time watching anime with your laptop, studying, or also wondering what should be your next experiment at home. You should not neglect that. Not even a bit.
> After taking a bit to properly wake up, you head to the bathroom to take a bath.

> Rumi Arie. She's your mother... Adoptive one, at least.

Now... this is a delicate matter.
Your memories about it are very blurry. But you remember very well one part of THAT...
You were pretty much raised in an orphan, the already extinct 'Childs of Creation' until the age of 4 years.
Of course, it's pretty much impossible to try and remember anything of that age, but you were able to spare some things...
You remember that everyone was so nice.
So caring.
So friendly.
It was, you are sure of, one of the most happy periods of your life as a little girl. In fact, you remember that you thought at those moments that you wanted to stay there forever.
But that changed just one night.
Remember 'THAT' that was mentioned earlier? Well.
Due to some inexplicable facts, the building in which were all of the kids, adults and even some people of the old age, was caught on fire.
It wasn't because something exploded or some accident.
No.
It was caused by unknown means that not even the most skillful autorities can decipher. A culprit was never caught either.
You were among the children. The sole survivor, or at least, the sole survivor KNOWN. You went unscathed of the sinister.
You lost everything. Literally. You had nothing to hold onto to cry and cry until you dried out of sadness.
It was at that moment, after a month or two of receiving care, that Rumi Arie came to adopt you.
Since then, you lived with her at the Twilight Bar Room up until now.

That sinister stayed like one of the great mysteries of Shimogyō-ku at the moment. To this very day, people still remember that Fateful Day, but slowly they try to ignore it and go on with their lives without looking behind...

> Time pass away as your bath ends. Now, it's time to take care of getting your uniform.
> This 'house' of yours, which is on the 70th plant of the Twilight Bar Room, which is also one of the many plants that has the only objective to have apartments, can't be called like that, but it can be referred as a small, modern house pretty well. It has everything you would need to live here: a kitchen; a bathroom, a living room for any kind of visitors, which are rare; a room that is your bedroom; and the one next to that one, which is the 'laboratory'.
> Taking your time to dress yourself up with the uniform, you consider that some breakfast would be nice too. You don't usually do it, as you buy it at school, but as you woke up earlier this time...

> Your uniform consists of a white, long-sleeved buttoned shirt under a black buttoned jacket that has white outlines. Red tie included on your neck. A white skirt that isn't TOO large, and neither it's too short. It's pretty comfortable, actually. Your usual black thigh-highs and black shoes.

> It was to be expected. You, since you were adopted by Arie, discovered a totally new world that, ironically, everyone in this world is unaware of, or at least, not much people knows about it. The world where the impossible can happen. A world where the most respected laws are broken almost like they are a joke.

Title: Re: Greater Centenary Festival - Heavenly Cross/I
Post by: Tashi on September 18, 2017, 09:50:03 PM
>What are they ?

This is yet another delicate matter.
After being adopted by Arie, you felt really lonely.
It was to be expected, really. Valentine was just a kid. She didn't had the willpower to overcome the sadness of losing her 'family' so easily. It had incredible high chances to become a trauma even.

At the beginning, Valentine and Arie's relation was sour. Arie tried her best to give the kid some comfort, but Valentine refused such approaches, yelling that she wanted her 'real' family back. Of course, Arie kept trying, but this only made Valentine all the more angrier.
After harsh days, weeks and even months of Valentine constantly trying to get away of the Twilight Bar Room, and failing, she started to develop her imagination.

'Fine! If I can't have my friends back, then I will make them!'
So she thought.

Valentine's imagination was wild. She created her own 'imaginary' friends. But they weren't just imaginary friends she could talk with. They all were 'fantastic'. All of them had something that could defy the laws of common sense. And, overall, all of them manifested in something that Valentine had at the moment, and therefore, if said thing was near Valentine, she could feel their presence...

5 years old.
First, it was a black cat that had an humanoid form. Her name was Kuro. She was extremely distant and suffered of bipolarity.
She manifested via a black cat plushie that Valentine has stored in her room.

6 years old.
In contrast, the second one was a white cat that had an humanoid form. Her name was Shiro. The opposite of Kuro. She was cheerful and always happy. She was deaf.
She manifested via a white cat plushie that Valentine has stored in her room.

7 years old.
The third one was a human magician. The representation of Valentine discovering a new world. Her name was Shinju Tsuru. She had a brain tumor.
She manifested via a top-hat that Valentine has stored in her room.

8 years old.
The fourth one was a singer and dancer. The likes of Valentine towards music lead to her creation. Her name was Mayu. She, albeit being a singer and dancer, was voiceless and was on a wheelchair.
She manifested via a microphone that Valentine lost by unknown circumstances.

9 years old.
The fifth one was a fantastic being known as a 'fairy'. How Valentine started to interact with other people. Her name was Niji. She suffered of extreme shyness.
She manifested via a bracelet that Valentine lost by unknown circumstances.

10 years old.
The sixth one is special, as to what lead to its creation its unknown. Valentine herself doesn't remember. They are yet another fantastic figure, this time a vampire, and a seemingly normal human. Their names were Charlotte LeBlanc and Chloe LeBlanc respectively. Both of them were the same entity. Charlotte could die on any moment due to a mal-formation in her anatomy as a vampire and Chloe was completely blind.
They manifested via two bird necklaces that Valentine and Arie shared as a sign of their newborn friendship. Both of them are lost as well.

Even when the order of their 'creation' suggest which one is older than the other, the truth is that they didn't considered like that. So far, this is how things were: Tsuru > Mayu > Kuro > Shiro > Niji > Charlotte/Chloe.

Short time after Charlotte and Chloe, another one was created. However, this didn't come in the form of Valentine's imagination. This came in the form of a cute and small robot plushie that was later replicated into a real one with an artificial inteligence. Its name is Torii. It faithfully serves Valentine.

All of them stayed with Valentine for years, until the November 17 of 2131. Two years ago.

All of them left without trace. Even Niji's bracelet, Mayu's microphone and Charlotte and Chloe's necklaces disappeared without any explanation. They just... vanished...

You tried to explain this to Arie and your other faithful friends of the Bar, but they just told you that you might lost them while playing.
That isn't right at all!
None of them tried to deny what you were saying, but neither they supported you.

In the end, Valentine had to accept the fact that, in some kind of error, probably by mistake, one of the maids of the Bar that took care of the cleanup accidentally took those objects and take them out. However, that doesn't explain the fact that everyone disappeared. Furthermore, some of the objects they used to manifest are still here...

And now, Torii is the only one by your side...

...

You, however, grew to be a strong woman. Or at least, you like to think so. You have to endure how sad this can be and continue forward. Maybe... just maybe... you will be able to see them again...

This person right here is Arie Rumi. Owner and landlady of the Twilight Bar Room.
No one can actually predict her. Maybe you can do it a bit, but she's so... 'mysterious', in some sense, that no one really tries to the best of their ability to try and understand this person's personality. She's just that annoying some times. And her activities of dubious moral consent doesn't help.

With all this matter of the Sumadera Group, things started to go somewhat downhill while others went straight to the heavens, if you know what I mean.

It was said, from your deceased teachers of the orphanage, that you were found peacefully sleeping at the doors of the building, in a extremely delicate and beautifully prepared basket that was made manually with hands that had great experience on the matter. They said you were the most cute thing they ever saw in that basket.
Along with this necklace, you also were found with a note besides you, right about the blanket covering your body that barely had a year of being born.
A note that said:
'Valentine Claythorne'

Twilight Bar Room is certainly not the average kind of skyscraper. The place looks expensive and really good. No wonder that people fear to rent rooms in this world in a buiding by first impressions. It gives you the feeling that it would be the favorite reunion place of the world powers, most important persons in the world and so on and so forth.
You don't really know if it was planned, but you own, by far, the best room of the whole skyscraper.
People say it was because you are the owner's daughter, but that's nonsense.
If they just knew that you had to pay the rentals too...
That's right. Every month of the existing twelve that there are every year you are like everyone here. Pay to live here.

Room rentals in Twilight Bar Room are 50,000? per month. Your room is 60,000?, and that's only because Arie made you pay a lower price. This room you own is easily that of 100,000? or more per a month, so...

You can earn this amount by working in different jobs that need you to do something that it's really difficult generally, but the pay is really high. You don't really have a preference on what work you will choose, but everything is legal. In fact, you re-visit some of them easily to also meet familiar faces.

You currently have 300,000? in your bank account. Enough for Arie stop annoying you to pay the rent and for any whim you might have.

You could say that you are emancipated, but not quite it. You have learned to live on your own. You just like to live here. You wonder if you plan to change that someday...

> ... Both you and Arie get out of the elevator, leading directly to the bar.
> You are welcome by this familiar and yet comfy place.
> A fairly large and dim-litted place, not in the bad sense of the word, that is the place of several drunkards at night and day too! But, surprisingly enough, all the tables are clean and the place in general is too. It seems like a lie that there was a party hard yesterday night. Some of the people that live here at the skyscraper are at some tables, talking and having already some snacks and whatnot.
> There's a soft and really low music that reaches your ears. Yes, the usual... So calm.
> Far away from the elevator doors, there's the familiar figure of a bluehead in the same kind of uniform that you have, only that she has white thigh-highs, sitting at one of the tables. A robotic and small figure is besides her. The bluehead seems to be talking to Torii.

This person right here is Sakata Aoi. She's in your same classroom and, therefore, your class mate.
You met her long ago, like two years, when she asked for help in a mathematical problem. She called you 'Senpai', but you neglected such treatment, and she started to call you by the honorific 'san'. You were a bit rude, now that you recall...
She's practically the closest person you have at school, as no one else talks to you, or they don't do any effort to set up a conversation. And even so, you don't know that much about her. She has 19 years.
Extremely gentle and friendly, she sporadically came to the Bar and wait for you to go to school together. It was, like, one or two times a week, but it was still nice.
You don't know much else about her. You never asked.

He can see a barren path.
This may be as well a representation of how is his mind at this moments.
Can anyone blame him?
Not only him, but also that fairy were dragged into something that was totally unexpected and, worst of all, had no control over the outcome whatsoever. It just... happened. For better or worse, it did.

However, he can tell.

This is a vision of the future, just like those he has been experimenting lately...
but this is somewhat different.

What is this?

There's nothing else you do besides this usual routine...
And so you must continue with your usual ritual.
You train physically, as always. Your body may be slender and fragile-looking, but your physical condition is just all the better.
Nothing is different from what is left from this day as hours pass away, the message from Arumi not being received yet. By the time night arrives, it's obvious she won't send it today.

Well, that's good.
This is FINE.
You couldn't ask for something better.
Finding yourself with plenty of free time for the rest of the night, it seems it's time for the most important thing to be done. As always and as it should be.
You can't help it, as you decided to walk down this path and there's no turning back now.
You find yourself looking at THAT door in your room. The one that leads to a 'world' where common sense is not applied. A place where no one is allowed to enter besides you. This is it. You will spend the rest of the night in your workshop.

Hikikomori Quest.

If I stayed at home probably I would had a normal life...


The story begins with Daikoku 'Daiko' Susumu. A reclusive man of 20 years who is also a hybrid of human and youkai who spends his time in his room, away from society.
With black hair, black eyes and just the usual brown kimono of the Human Village, which is where his house is located, he doesn't outstand in anything physically... except his tallness.
Everything is different inside him, however. Not used to deal with people due to his own reclusion, he can't stand to see someone in the need of help. His inteligence made him earn the respect of many of his 'friends', because it's really his most incredible feature. This is even acknowledged by the school teacher.

However, since he started to get sick from everything and everyone, he locked himself in his own room. No one had to take the time to look for him, and neither he had to care for others, as they just were... a nuisance. They were so... childish, and that was annoying. Envy? But of course they were envious of you. If not, they would have looked for you and probably tried to repair things. They were just nuisances over your intelligence.
He preferred, overall, to just stay in his room to read the book you had at hand. It was more fun than to be with other people.
To this very day, the number of times he gets out from his house is... very, very small.

Away from him, his mother is lost. Her mother was a youkai, more specifically, a Yuki-Onna. She could predict the future, albeit partially. His father is just a human that is... well, dead.

Who took care of him? Sakura Susumu, which is his grandmother and also mother of his mother. She recommends him to change his way of life... but is that even possible by this point?

https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1292606.html#msg1292606



While you were at the living room of your house, reading the 'Wrath of the Exiled Vampire' book, you attended your grandmother's call while she was cooking. (She was wearing her usual blue kimono) She gave you a list with things you should buy, which had a lot of rice-tastic adventure in it. It also wanted you to donate in the Hakurei Shrine... ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1292897.html#msg1292897 )
Of course, you would have refused to make this due to the obvious 'you have to go outside' issue, if it weren't for the fact that Sakura didn't had any chance to work recently, and the money both of you had stored in the removable floor tile isn't too much. You couldn't let things be like that, so you accepted.

Before anything, you and Sakura had the usual breakfast, and she tells you that the book you are currently reading reminds her from the 'Red Mist' incident, which happened long ago but you sincerely do not remember much.

And off you went! The outside, honestly, was nice. One of the few times you go outside...
After spotting the teacher of the school and evading her, you met with the cruel fate of being tackle-hugged after a loud 'STOP RIGHT THERE!' ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1293905.html#msg1293905 )

Soon enough, you remembered this person's name. She is Arukas Hantai. With a pink kimono with flower patterns in it, she is wearing a skirt, white socks with slippers and a coat. What defines her, however, is her blue hair and eyes... and her ice horn at the left side of her head. This person was your best friend at school, and the second best of the class, only surpassed by you.
After the rough meeting, you realize you don't have the list with you, which prompts both you and Arukas to start the pursuit for it, as you see it flying due to the somewhat strong wind.
After being able to retrieve from a ceiling of a house's roof, and talking about 'super thief of woman underwear' both of you notice this isn't the shopping list! ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1293992.html#msg1293992 to https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1294024.html#msg1294024 )

Instead, it was a brochure. A brochure announcing the future Fantastic Danmaku Festival. Basically, a competition that will be celebrated at New Year's (in a month and a half) where various groups of people will compete to see who can make the most beautiful danmaku pattern, and the winner will earn some money from the Hieda Family as an extra reward.
After a brief promise to both attend to the festival, you think that you should... give it a try to be less inside your house.

After starting to search for the REAL shopping list, Arukas tells you about the incidents that have been occurring all of the time you have been cooped inside your room. A vampire, even! Arukas jokes about you staying one night at the mansion vampire, and after an adorable looking upset Arukas, you compliment her ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1294294.html#msg1294294 ), you finally find your list in the snow.

Both you and Arukas decide to buy the food already, so you head to the marketplace. Arukas, by the mention of the word 'faith', switches something on in your chest, in a bad way that quickly goes away ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1294371.html#msg1294371 )
However, you decide to change directions. You head to the Hakurei Shrine to get that done AND THEN buy the food. So much time since you have been outside the Human Village...
In your way there, Arukas tells you about the 'Kuchisake-Onna' that attacks people at night after asking them if she's pretty. She even tells you she wants to meet that hostile someone, much to your amazement. You OBVIOUSLY do not approve this, but you are soon interrupted by the mention of 'faith' once again... and by a stranger. ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1294497.html#msg1294497 )

It's a girl that asks for help from both of you with her stand, whose wheels are buried in snow.
When you are about to help, however, you feel that someone is behind you. When you try to reach to the nothingness, you notice you grab something. Soon enough, it is revealed that they were three fairies cloaked, under the names of Sunny, Luna and Star, who are also the culprits. Taking Luna by the arm and not letting go, as well as threatening with calling the teacher of the school for some well-deserved headbutts, they help you to get the stand wheels out of snow. You also learn the stand girl's name: Mystia Lorelei.
Bonking Sunny's head after she tried to steal some money from your bag, she leaves, swearing revenge. After Mystia tells you that she will repay the favor by letting you eat free lampreys at night, when the stand is open, you and Arukas resume your way to the Hakurei Shrine.

In your way there, Arukas sudden change of attitude scares you slightly. Something about 'fate' and 'changing it'... This, nonetheless, leaves you deeply disturbed. ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1294655.html#msg1294655 )

Still going to the shrine, still uncomfortable about the previous situation, Arukas tells you she's a mixture of Yuki-Onna and Oni, making her, in her own words, an 'Ice Oni'.

Walking up the stair of the shrine you hear that there are two persons talking at where the shrine should be, but Arukas tells you she knows them. When the top is reached, only one person is there: Reimu Hakurei. The shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1294774.html#msg1294774 )

Going to the donation box of the shrine, you attempt to insert the 100 yens that is what Sakura usually donates to the shrine.
... Of course, if it weren't for the fact that the muns stayed in the air, like anything. You realize this was Sunny's revenge, as she has that money AND the other 2400 yens you had in your bag. She quickly leaves and you, along with Reimu and Arukas, chase her. ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1294813.html#msg1294813 )
However, the pursuit quickly ends when Sunny bumps into a tree, falling unconscious afte the fact. You even clean a bit of blood on her forehead, as it was a really hard it... and even then, out of mercy, you leave a coin of 10 yens on Sunny's hand.
Afterwards, you take her to the shrine.



Sunny's Dream (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1294897.html#msg1294897)

*Ends at Reply #366 ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1294988.html#msg1294988 )*



After properly taking care of Sunny at the shrine, she wakes up and, as a really caring way to repay you for helping her, she kicks your face due to a bad dream she had about someone named Clownpiece and... Well, it was really weird.

After that, you ask the three fairies about the vampire mansion. They tell you it's more larger inside than in the outside, for some reason that they explained as 'because the powers of the chief maid'.
You also find out that Arukas has been practicing with danmaku and can fly.

After ALL of that happened, you finally donate the 100 yen to the shrine and leave, not before knowing from Sakura that she wants to talk with Keine about the Kuchisake-Onna. After constantly 'annoying' her, she accepts to let you tag along if she's going to search for her.

Both you and Sakura converse about what motivates each other in life, and you find out that she needs to find someone, just like you want to find your mother. You also know that she and Keine, the teacher of the school, have been worried sick about you. ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1295203.html#msg1295203 )

In your way to the village, however, you see start to feel a heavy pressure. Soon enough, you see a figure with an umbrella that is the source of it, heading to the shrine. The power that this person has is... ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1295241.html#msg1295241 )

After a dry good day to this woman with an umbrella, both of you continue your way to the village, wondering if she was the Kuchisake-Onna. You also converse a bit, learning that the power of the Onis reside in their horns, so if they are cut, they would lose their abilities and strength.

And speaking of abilities, wondering if you could have the same ability as your mother, which is predict/foresee the future, you try to imagine what would happen later between you and Arukas, only to feel a strange feeling in your right arm. (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1295338.html#msg1295338 )
Going further into the matter, you keep trying to decipher what this is, imagining different situations alongside Arukas.
Afterwards, you try to do so with her AND Keine. The feeling in your arm becomes a feeling of being bend and disappears. You wonder what happened...

After talking a bit about abilities, Arukas gladly offers you hug, but she awkwardly says something about protecting you, which totally cuts the flow of the situation. ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1295501.html#msg1295501 )

After that, both of you arrive to a less crowded Human Village, just to find out that the teacher of the school, Keine Kamishirasawa is buying some prepared food. You and Arukas go to greet her. ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1295527.html#msg1295527 )
Talking with her, much to her delight for you to be outside, she recommends that you could get a job related to the things about the festival and get money for home. And, at the moment, you make the important question: You ask Keine if she could teach you how to shoot danmaku and how to fly.
Keine tells you that she's looking for the representant team of the Human Village, which Arukas is in. Keine says that she's a judge, alongside Akyuu and 'someone else', and that the teams are of five people full, and one of them must be the leader. She also ultimately accepts to be your teacher at danmaku and flight. ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1295569.html#msg1295569 )

Keine seems to try to hide the name of 'Mokou', a friend of hers in her own words, that is on the bag she used to store the prepared food. After that, and a minor Kuchisake-Onna talk, Arukas tests her strength with you, bending your arm a little. This confirms you that the previous feeling was a indeed a prediction. ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1295594.html#msg1295594 )
After that, she leaves to meet with her friend 'Mokou'. Arukas also leaves to her home, telling you to meet with her at the outskirts of the village for the practice of danmaku and such.

And so you start to buy the food that the list tells you, but you feel observed all the time you are doing so. There's even a moment where a seller points to a woman with lavender hair, but she left before you could spot anything besides her hair. ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1295731.html#msg1295731 )

Straying from your objective of buying food, you go to a 'corner' of the village to try and meet this person stalking you, and you are successful. YOu met the forever-poker-face youkai Hata no Kokoro, her telling you that she was watching you because you were 'interesting'... except the buying stuff part. ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1295839.html#msg1295839 )
Your conversation with her is... strange. She's so... inexpressive, really, so it was a mix of strange and funny 'conversation'. You find out that she's the so-called Kuchisake-Onna, and that she wants to be the 'new and improved' one. However, talking a bit with her, you offer her to join your team, which is the team for the Human Village, for the festival. After that, she leaves, not before showing you her first, albeit really small, smile.

However... in your way to your home, a voice speaks in your mind. 'Casanova'. ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1296042.html#msg1296042 )
According to her, because the voice is female, she's YOU, and she wants to get out from a box in your mind. You imagine a 'you' in your mind and a possible box, just to find out that indeed, there's a box with a CAT inside it. A black cat, that is.
Attempts to take her out from it are futile, and she says to you that she's probably your 'female self'. To put it bluntly, it seems she's 'you' but at the same time is a separate being with different likes and such. Strange stuff indeed. You also offered her some names, as she doesn't want to be called 'Daikoku'.
As both of you and... the cat in the box... discuss about taking control of your body and such, you arrive at home, greeted by Sakura. Soon, you tell her about the abilities similar to your mother's. What Sakura says afterwards... is really worrying ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1296156.html#msg1296156 )
She wants you to take care and not depend too much on that ability. She says that was what made your mother be so... stressed...

After your conversation with Sakura, you head to your room, finally getting down to business to try and get the cat out of the box. ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20352.msg1296232.html#msg1296232 )
Attempts and theories are made, however, they don't seems to work. She, however, tells you to lift her and try to persist. When you do so again you fall into the box, along with her, which makes everything go dark...

...

When you 'wake up' you find yourself surrounded by clothes. Calling for your friend in your mind, you free yourself from the things surrouding you... only to find out you are a black cat.
Imagining her and the box, you find out that your 'female self', is a Neko girl now.
More attempts are made, which end up feeling pain from both parties. In the end, the neko girl seems to give up. You get into the box to swap bodies with her again. This is so confusing...

...

After trying to encourage her to do more attempts, she seems to succesfully make your fingers twirl a bit, much to your surprise.
This works. The neko starts to make your limbs and everything move at her leisure, even being able to FEEL.
While doing all of this, the box literally starts to crack and, after more tests, it makes you fall unconscious once it finally breaks.

...

Coming to your senses once again, you find out that there's no more box, and that the neko can change from being a cat to her neko girl form and viceversa. Happiness envelop both of you at the feat. But the question is... how will she be outside? She's still in your mind...
And you quickly find it out. Doing more tests, you manage to swap with her, letting the neko girl be outside at the real world, while you are in her mind. This is just great.
It's late at night, so you decide to let her happily take control tonight and sleep in the real world. Tomorrow will start the new lives of the pair of neko and half-youkai.

And so, she decided her name would be Kiku.

Hikikomori Quest

If he stayed at home, I wouldn't have the chance to met her...


The day begins with Kiku finally waking up, Her very first time in the real world... This is magnificent.

Talking a bit with his 'male self', Daikoku, who is now in the 'thoughtscape', she takes a bath.

Both of them reach the decision of finding a way for Kiku to have her own body, mind and, basically, her own self without the need of Daikoku.

After the bath, both of them swap, leaving Daiko in the real world. He soon enough dresses with another kimono for the 'date' (AKA learn danmaku and flight) he has with Arukas today. (And also cleans the room.) (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20411.msg1296751.html#msg1296751)

But before that! They leave the room to let Grandma Sakura know about this 'secret' they have.
It all goes alright. Sakura finally meets her 'granddaughter', thanks that they swap again.

After this, they leave the house, turning into the black cat form after doing so, much to some peoples bewilderment.
In their way to the outskirts, they notice a maid and a woman with a 'provocative' dress, the latter carrying many bags of purchases. They leave the pair be, though. (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20411.msg1296970.html#msg1296970)

They arrive at the point of reunion to find Keine, who is still waiting for everyone. Teasing her a bit and waiting, Arukas arrives. Daiko and Kiku planned to give her a 'surprise' greeting... but, uh, it ends somewhat roughly for them... (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20411.msg1296998.html#msg1296998)

Arukas, Keine and Daiko converse a bit about Kokoro in the meantime... while Keine mentions a shrine maiden that lives at the Youkai Mountain. A shrine maiden that can cast miracles. Maybe she can help with splitting Daiko and Kiku...?
The training begins. Keine firstly teaches you how to fly, which you end up doing succesfully.
But everything is interrupted by a Tatara Kogasa, a Karakasa Obake, that tries to surprise you. (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20411.msg1297121.html#msg1297121)

Quickly getting along with Kogasa, the training of flight continues. Everything goes splendidly, both Daiko and Kiku giving it a shot.
However, feeling a bit mischievous, Daiko throws a snowball to Arukas face, which makes her take Kogasa to build a snowman together, The result isn't so good for Daiko. (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20411.msg1297232.html#msg1297232)

Before the three of you depart to the Youkai Mountain, since Daiko wants to see if she the shrine maiden, this 'miracle worker', can help with the body splitting. Keine gives some lessons of danmaku to both Daiko and Kiku.

Next destination: Youkai Mountain.

Following Keine's advice, the training of danmaku continues even while they advance.
However, the same is interrupted by a strange sound of a certain object. It doesn't take much time for the Ace Reporter, Shameimaru Aya, to mark her appearance in the scene. (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20411.msg1297347.html#msg1297347)
Aya tells them that the Mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion tried to hire Kochiya Sanae, the shrine maiden, as a maid.
As soon as she's told that a maid and that woman are in the village, the reporter blasts off to where the mansion is, leaving them continue their way to the shrine.

There they finally meet with Kochiya Sanae, Yasaka Kanako and Moriya Suwako. The shrine maiden and the goddesses of the shrine respectively.
After conversing with the three of them, they find out that, indeed, Remilia Scarlet tried to hire Sanae as a maid, adding more sauce to the grill when she tried to even tease Kanako and Suwako.

And while at that, Kanako takes advantage of the situation that both Daiko and Kiku have, since Sanae can possibly help with it. She wants information of the SDM in exchange of the miracle that would separate the two in different bodies. (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20411.msg1297558.html#msg1297558)

Daiko and Kiku end up teaming up with Arukas to come up with a plan to infiltrate in the mansion: be hired as maids.

And so they leave,

But the moment has arrived.

Daiko finally declares his feelings to Arukas-

...

Rejection is what comes out. Plus, a truth that stabs deep in your back. (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20411.msg1297738.html#msg1297738)

After this massive hit in Daiko's feelings, he and Kiku go to the Hakurei Shrine, since this is where Kokoro is thanks to a hunch that Daiko had.

Finding Kokoro in front of the shrine, dancing, they meet with her. She offers comfort to Daiko. (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20411.msg1297827.html#msg1297827)

The moment is suddenly interrupted by the calling of two womans. They meet with Elly and Kurumi. (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20411.msg1297961.html#msg1297961)
They seem to be looking for Kazami Yuuka. Kokoro helps them to find her, given she said she has seen her near the village.
However, in Daiko's mind, Kiku finds a golden key necklace lying in the nothingness of the thoughtscape.
Imagining a golden box in their mind, she tries to open it with the key...
This leads to a very caring light ball with cat ears to come out of the box. ( https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20411.msg1298027.html#msg1298027)
Kiku recalls things linked to a white cat...

As Kokoro, Elly, Kurumi and Daiko continue, they are suprised by icicles. After dodging, a mad Elly goes after the culprit.

It seems that they were shoot by Cirno, an ice fairy, who is accompanied by her friends: Daiyousei, Wriggle, Mystia, Rumia, Letty.
There's a small misunderstanding, but things cool down. Also, Daiko and Kiku find out that the cat light ball is a girl, and they give a name: Bastet.
You also find out that Yuuka is living at the SDM
Also, Cirno, Daiyousei, Wriggle, Rumia and Letty are a team for the Danmaku Festival

While the expanded group goes to the SDM, Bastet seems to be communicating.

At the gates of the SDM Reimu is found, along with Sakuya and Meiling. The former is interrogating the maid for answers about their doings.
Meanwhile, Bastet achieves her cat form, thanks to Daiko helping with that. (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20411.msg1298616.html#msg1298616)
It seems she is a great friend of Kiku, in her own words...

After conversing and Sakuya letting the group get into the mansion (minus Reimu, who left moments before), looking for Yuuka. Also, Kiku takes the opportunity to talk with Sakuya concerning becoming a maid.
Bastet achieves her neko youkai form. (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20411.msg1298764.html#msg1298764)

After the heartwarming reunion that Yuuka has with Elly and Kurumi, Sakuya takes Kiku to where the library is for maid business.

The magnificent sight envelops Kiku (and most likely Daiko) as soon as they catch a look of the Scarlet Devil Mansion library. The gigantic bookshelf are exquisi-
In here can be found a very special person. Koakuma, assistant of the magician of this library, is presented to Kiku thanks to Sakuya. (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20411.msg1298982.html#msg1298982)

Sakuya leaves for a moment, Koakuma being the only person with Kiku.
In the thoughtscape, Daiko visions Kokoro and later Sakuya with his future-sight. He learns a new thing: People who are seen in the visions can notice when they are being watched.
In the meantime as they wait, Koakuma shows a nice spell to live inside the stories of books: Falsum Verum. (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20411.msg1299439.html#msg1299439)
It's what it is. A spell to live a novel.
Both Kiku an Koakuma watch together the developing of a novel of the latter. Kiku learns that Koakuma wants to be a writer.
However, the nice moment is the interrupted by the sudden appearance of Patchouli Knowledge, who is Koakuma's master.

Hikikomori Quest

Well, it seems now I have a mansion as a house.


1 ~ 50

to
https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1299765.html#msg1299765)

Finally meeting Remilia Scarlet, the mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion; and her friend, Patchouli Knowledge, the magician of the library; the Scarlet Vampire offers some tea to Kiku and to converse a bit, as she seems interested.
Meanwhile, Daiko finds out that the thoughtscape can be manipulated at will by just imagining what he wants. It's his-... err, their mind after all, right?

Conversing and conversing, Remilia seems to want something in exchange for their hypothetic help in the body splitting matter of Daiko/Kiku/Bastet.
Showing their interest, Kiku proceeds to show them the Soul Swap ability.

51 ~ 100
(https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1299771.html#msg1299771
to
https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1299931.html#msg1299931)

Daiko finally has the pleasure (or not so much like that) to meet the Mistress when the Soul Swap occurs.
Remilia instantly points out what she wants.
Energy.
She explains a bit of how, since possibly Daiko, Kiku and Bastet have different life forces, they can increase them individually without affecting the others'. And so, she says she wants for them to gather energy for the vampire.
But suddenly, a group of kappas emerge from the depths of the library, just to tell Remilia that 'it's done'. A crashing sound happens from where they came, to which Remilia lets the kappas gather some tools from the Youkai Mountain to finish this 'thing.'

Saying the good byes, Daiko finally leaves, just to swap with Kiku and foresight the kappas. Something big could be seen. It doesn't make any sense to him.

And so, they arrive to the living room, just to find someone... very familiar.

101 ~ 150
(https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1299934.html#msg1299934

https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1300121.html#msg1300121)

Arukas, or rather, Sakura, was standing in the living room, waiting.
She came with the objective of talking with Daiko. And so, Sakuya gives them a moment, but Daiko also brings Kokoro to this conversation by the chance of a pure whim.

Sakura apologizes for everything, while Daiko does the same with a few things. The result is the forgiving to each other. Overall, they are family, so that's what matters.

151 ~ 200
(https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1300124.html#msg1300124
to
https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1300255.html#msg1300255)

After a bit of compliments towards Kokoro, also knowing Sakura's age (530) and Kokoro's (1300 (?), Bastet goes to the real world after soul swapping. Being her first time there, she's really excited.
But this is interrupted by a sudden tremor. They decide to go out of the room they were in to ask for answers.
Asking to Sakuya, she tells that this has been happening for a few days already, and only in the vicinities of the Misty Lake and nowhere else.

201 ~ 250
(https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1300256.html#msg1300256
to
https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1300431.html#msg1300431)

Leaving the mansion, Daiko, Kokoro and Sakura meet with Meiling and the mermaid of the lake: Wakasagihime. what a hard name...
She tells the group that she felt, while the tremor was happening, magic at the bottom of the lake.
After talking a bit, it's decided that they will go with Keine, Akyuu and Kosuzu for a possible information gathering.

251 ~ 300
(https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1300432.html#msg1300432

Continuing their way to the village, and after Sakura explains a bit how people that are being foresighted can notice Daiko's attempts of doing so, a brief discussion burst out between grandson and grandmother.
... which continues even until they are in front of the Hieda Residence, in front of Akyuu who is going to Suzunaan.
The situation turns out to be really funny and, after apologizing to her, Daiko and Kiku finally properly greet the Child of Miare.

301 ~ 350
(https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1300545.html#msg1300545
to
https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1300632.html#msg1300632)

The group arrives at Suzunaan after explaining things to Akyuu concerning the SDM, omitting in-depth details of course.
After being greeted by Kosuzu, and her almost being ignored, the group splits in different sections while Sakura and Kosuzu talk privately.
Kokoro is searching for romantic stuff... but...
The DEEP romantic stuff.

351 ~ 400
(https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1300633.html#msg1300633

https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1300789.html#msg1300789)

Kokoro tells that she wants THOSE kind of books to learn more.
Between the conversation, it pops up the question if Kokoro indeed feels love towards Daiko...
which she can't answer clearly, as she isn't so sure, but things seem to lead to that reasoning.
And so, Kokoro says a kiss in the order of the day...

401 ~ 450
(https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1300790.html#msg1300790

https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1300898.html#msg1300898)

Daiko, admitting his love for Kokoro, they are about to kiss when...
Kosuzu interrupts the marvelous moment with her yelp. Everything is ruined from this point on...
The library keeper takes Daiko to a room full of books. It seems, from a request of Sakura, she wants to give him a Demon Book for him to develop his abilities, but ultimately he refuses.

Meanwhile in the thoughtscape, a new key is found, and so is a turquoise box. After opening it, a rainbow-winged fairy is now free from it. A new addition to the soul gang~

451 ~ 500
(https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1300901.html#msg1300901

https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1301015.html#msg1301015)

Returning to where the others, Daiko, Kokoro and Sakura decide to look for Keine in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost. Maybe she's there...

Thoughtscape: The fairy's name seems to be Niji. Recalling, she supposedly had a great friend in the past, but she can't remember much more besides that. Nevertheless, she's now part of the crew and a friend to everyone there.

501 ~ 550

And off to the Bamboo Forest they go!
In the meantime, Niji is finally able to go to the real world after soul swapping. She gladly greets Kokoro and Sakura.
However, a weird situation happens...

Someone unknown seems to knock Daiko off.

After waking up, a world of madness surrounds Daiko, Kiku, Bastet and Niji. They experiment they weirdest moment of their lives, and everything due to the appearance in the scene of Clownpiece.
Much to her despair, though, the madness caused by her torch is reverted, and she's quickly restricted.

551 ~ 600
(https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1301118.html#msg1301118
to
https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1301219.html#msg1301219)

After this, and somewhat befriending Clownpiece, Niji and the others gather.
Clownpiece decides to stick with the group for a bit.

Searching for Keine, they soon enough find what seems to be a talking flame, which turns out to be a woman with a really long white hair. Keine is standing near the door of a house in the middle of the forest.
Daiko doesn't lose time to go and apoloize to her.

601 ~ 650
(https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1301221.html#msg1301221

Keine, really showing that she cares for Daiko, apologizes too to him. It's all good. Teacher-student should be not hold grudges against each other.
Presenting Niji and Bastet to Keine, the group gets into Mokou's house to converse a bit and find out why the fire girl, Mokou, was so mad about.

It seems that Houraisan Kaguya, Eientei's princess, rejected their battles...

651 ~ 700
(https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1301509.html#msg1301509
to
https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1301652.html#msg1301652

Conversation goes on, and a test is done. Mokou throws a fire ball to Daiko, then to let him switch with Kiku, finding out that indeed they share injuries.
It continues, leading to the conversation of Daiko's abilities to soul swap and such, leading to some theories that they don't really don't want to test due to how dangerous they are.
Kokoro also mentions about 'Daddy Mimiko'
But Mokou, hearing about the moment Daiko and Kokoro were about to kiss, drags the former to a private conversation.
She tells him to not rush things, as Kokoro probably doesn't know what she wants..

701 ~ 750
(https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1301654.html#msg1301654

https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,20440.msg1301933.html#msg1301933)

And so the group leaves after this...

But a miracle happens.

Trying and trying with all their might, Daiko and the residents inside his mind finally are able to be in the real world without the need of taking turns! They have their own bodies now!

After being guided outside of the forest, Keine follows Mokou, who previously left for unknown reasons. Clownpiece leaves too.

Then, the group makes their way to Daiko's house to find a crack and let him meet Miko.

But on their way, they find Mystia's stand shrinking...

Turns out that the Oni named Ibuki Suika, misunderstanding what Mystia said, shrinked her stand 'for better mobility'. In the end, after making things clear (and briefly being small) the group decide to eat at Mystia's stand. During all of this, they also met with Mystia's friend: Kasodani Kyouko.

While they eat, the group finds out that Mystia has an extremely beautiful voice, and that she sings. The brief song she offers to everyone is so nice that Sakura offers her to join their team for the festival, but she ultimately doesn't say no or yes.

901 ~ 950

The group walks to the house, leaving Mystia, Suika and Kyouko at the stand.
Soon enough they reach it, searching for a crack, finding the 'X' one hiding under the table at the living room, at the floor.
However, before that, Sakura tells Daiko to check his head, which Kiku takes care of...

It turns out that Daiko has a horn, which was Sakura's horn. She made him drink it as a baby via melting it and mixing it with milk. THat made him inherit it.
Also, Sakura's ability seems to be 'absorb energies' which permitted her seal an underground part of the house, the entrance to it being the 'X' in the floor. It becomes stairs that lead to this part of the house after Sakura gets rid of it thanks to her horn.
This underground part is much better than your old house. Much more fancy and comfy. Then, after a bit of chat, Sakura proceeds to show the group the unexplored parts of the house...

Really, why I didn't stayed at home?

The exploring continues, and while at it, Daiko leaves to search for the library that her grandma told them about.
When he reaches it, a strange feeling seems to be on him, but doesn't pay that much attention to it as he starts to read, learning now how to 'focus' while flying.
Kokoro arrives, and both of them start to search for THOSE books that Kokoro wants... to no avail.
Daiko, however, returns to a book that talks about Danmaku due to something that caught his attention...

Reading about it, apparently there's some kind of forbidden danmaku that can pretty much mentally destroy the user. It seems it was a very frightening matter...

After this, and talking about Kokoro's emotions and feeling, both of them leave the library, reuniting with the others.

101 ~ 150

Everyone decides it's time to sleep, so they choose their respective rooms. Daiko and Kokoro go to one to sleep together.
However, after a situation where Kokoro and Daiko shared their first kiss, Kokoro decides to leave, as she doesn't know what she wants nor what her feelings are. She departs, leaving Daiko there.
Him, feeling horrible about this situation, goes to the library to read until he falls asleep...

Upon falling asleep, Daikoku appears on what seems to be SPACE. Experimenting a bit, he finds out he can create things at will. A book. His house...
Which leads to him meeting with Doremy Sweet. Baku and ruler of the Dream World, the place where they are right now.
Talking a bit with her, and after telling him that he had a nightmare where Kokoro was giving him a beating, he wakes up forcefully when Doremy tells him he can do it so. They give their goodbyes to each other before that.


201 ~ 250

Searching for Sakura, who talked with Doremy beforehand, is nowhere to be seen in the house after Daiko searches for her. He even leaves, since there are some clues that lead to think that she's out.
The search ends up in the Forest of Magic, where he finds out that she's training with a black-white magician... withstanding the pain of her spellcards. A quick discussion happens between Sakura and Daiko...
... but they are interrupted by the 'Master Spark' of the magician.

Both of them try to endure it head-on, but Sakura acts by summoning her inner demon. A monstrous avatar that blocks and deviates the Master Spark.
This, however, makes her fall unconscious.
Tagging along with Kirisame Marisa, the magician, they go to the Susumu Residence so Sakura can rest.
After this, and Marisa returning to her home, Daiko lets Sakura sleep, but he catches some mumbling from her. Something about a Yukari or something.

After a bit of wait, she wakes up... and she's changing.
Apparently, after what happened, her body started to change to how she would look if she wasn't 'sealed'. By unleashing her inner demon, it seems this woke up something inside her. She now looks like a gifted woman.

After Sakura goes for a new change of clothes for her new size, Daiko goes to the library to read more about the Forbidden Danmaku, but a voice speaks in his mind.
Her name it's Shinju Tsuru, a voice that calls herself a magician that broke free from a box. It seems her situation it's the same as the others...

Seemingly she's an human... She finally makes her presence visible in Daiko's mind.
Both of them try to the best of their ability to split up, but the best they can do is Soul Swap. It seems Daiko doesn't have enough energy to split up with her...?

Searching a bit in books about souls and stuff, they find out some interesting things about them. For example, that if any of the souls connected to Daiko's soul (Kiku, Bastet, Niji and probably Tsuru) will die if he dies, and viceversa.
Sakura shows up, meeting with Shinju Tsuru. She has a picture of Daiko's mother and her along with some friends.
After giving this to him, she leaves. Daiko then tries to future-sight her, but..

He fell unconscious after attempting so, as if someone blocked him. After the others wake him up, Sakura tells everyone about what happened fifty years ago concerning this 'black danmaku'
She basically tells about the incident in the Misty Lake, Orange's disappearance and the mysterious figure that disappeared after confronting Yukari, Suika, Yuugi, Sakura, Himiko (Sakura's daughter and Daiko's mother).

Sakura finishes telling everyone about what happened, and Daiko tries to future-sight Orange, but... he only sees Meiling? He tries different things, but so far, the most notable thing he finds out is that he hears Luna's voice, which is one of the Three Fairies of Light.

Daiko future-sights Kokoro out of a whim, and he sees that she is with a woman with earmuffs in a place he has not seen yet.
Sakurap then pleads to the group to find Orange, Meiling's best friend. She also gives him the letter that was intended to be delivered to Meiling, written by Orange herself.

After this, the group decides what to do for the day.

Bastet stays with Sakura.
Niji will... try to do something.
Daiko/Tsuru go to Senkai just like it was instructed. Looking at a crack and such...
Kiku will visit the SDM to look for Koa.

When Kiku is about to leave, however, bumps with Marisa, who tells her to call Sakura to the Forest of Magic.
Sakura, gives a special gift to Niji, which is a beautiful bracelet with gems of the color of the rainbow. It seems it's property of her, as it has engraved her name and some words of encouragement.

Tsuru/Daiko, meanwhile, fall into Senkai, which makes Tsuru confront a woman that talks in a peculiar way...

Stuff happens, and it seems that Niji can divide herself seven times thanks to the bracelet. Talk about neat stuff!

Tsuru and Daiko have a brief confrontation with Mononobe no Futo, who tries to 'make them confess their true intention', before Toyosatomimi no Miko, the 'Crown Prince' stops everyone. She then proceeds to help Daiko/Tsuru, who resented from the burns of the Master Spark...

Sakura, Niji, Bastet leave to the Forest of Magic, while Kiku goes to the SDM...

Are we even going to other world?!


After being treated kindly by the Senkai residents, Daiko receives the notice from Niji that Aya has disappeared. He quickly leaves Senkai to investigate as she stays with Kokoro and the other Taoists.

Meeting with Mystia at her stand, he finds out that Aya is in disguise and goes to Suzunaan, since he used his future-sight to find her future location. After chasing her through the village and ending at the temple, she explains that she wanted to resolve the mystery between the tremors and the 'secret machine' of the SDM.
A crowd of people looking for Aya, however, makes them leave to Daiko's house. There, he finds out how to split up with Tsuru. Kyouko joins a bit after this.
And Daiko calls for Sakura with his future-sight.

Bastet, Alice, Marisa and her, along with Sanae's helpful miracles, found where Aya is, so they head to Daiko's house.
However, to help Daiko and not let Aya get caught, Sakura makes a smart move. Long story short: Kogasa surprisingly declares herself to Sanae. Marisa tells Alice she loves her.
However, Hatate was not fooled about this and arrives at the house, and after a confrontation, Aya confesses her love for her... but Hatate is with Momiji. She then leaves, letting Aya be.
After a reunion with Sakura and Bastet, the group decides to go to the Underworld to get some information about the tremors, briefly meeting with Kokoro, Niji and Byakuren. Speaking of Niji, it seems she is also able to manipulate light... as well as absorb it in her bracelet.

Sheeps swarming Gensonkyo?! Niji's group finds a lot of seemingly lost sheeps. They must investigate! The Three Fairies of Light also join.
Heading to where the sheeps are coming from (Youkai Mountain), there's a confrontation with a group of suspicious fairies. They are seemingly hidding something...

And meanwhile, Kiku got a glimpse of the machine that is being made, and a bit after that, feelings were discovered between her and Koakuma. It was enough. What will came up between the love of a devil and a neko?
Sadly, their moment together shall be later, as Sakuya takes Kiku to training. There, they find out about Kiku's dangerous ability: when she's upset/frustrated, that makes her go in a blind attempt to achieve her current objective and her physical abilities are improved...

That feeling when an Evil Spirit possess you...


Daiko and his group continues onwards to the Underworld. In here, they meet diverse kinds of Youkai that guide them to where the Palace of this world is. However, as they continue, while meeting Yamame, Kisume, Yuugi and Parsee, end up helping the residents of the Former Capital, which is under a ruckus of Vengeful Spirits. Unfortunely, Daiko is 'possessed by one of these.
While he receives help from Satori and Rin when they arrive at the Palace, this spirit, named Kira, is restricted inside him, as he refuses to leave, but neither he can do anything against Daiko.
Talking with Satori, they find an interesting information, which is the 'Fairy World'. No one knows where it is, it seems..

Daiko, along with Kyouko, who admits she fell in love for him the same way Mystia did, return to Gensokyo. He then goes to the SDM to talk with Remilia. He then finds out that Kira is somewhat known... He is the 'Puppeteer of Souls'.

Meanwhile, Niji has been helping out with the sheeps, and she meets with Marry Shepherd. A fairy that is a shepherd. It seems Marry and Niji were great friends back when she had her memories...

Bastet, when she stayed at the Underworld and met Koishi, found out that her ability is to grant wishes. Proof of this is that Koishi became a Neko.

Kiku, after training, has been helping Sakuya with shopping. When she returned to the SDM, she offers comfort to Flandre, who had a serious discussion with her sister about letting her out for her birthday.

Was lewd stuff done?


After agreeing to help Remilia with her machine and leaving the SDM, Daiko and Kyouko (the latter stayed at the entrance to wait for him) meets up with Kokoro. After talking about the love triangle they are into, they talk with Mystia and then all of them go to Senkai to talk with Miko and Byakuren. They, in a very dry way, accept the situation. After leaving Senkai, they meet up with Koa and Kiku, who decided to spend the rest of the day together.
Afterwards, they go back home. Bastet also returns with Sakura and Aya, though the latter stays hidden.
After eating, Daiko's foursome starts to look for lewd books at the library~
Also, thanks to Bastet's ability, Kokoro has her mask of hope back.

Niji all this time has been helping with the sheeps problem and also helping other people. She found a doll that Alice gave life to when she showed it to her. It seems it's an stranded one. Niji named her Yuudachi. They quickly become nice friends.
A clone of Niji helps Nitori with an issue that happened with a failed experiment, and they become friends after she shows the Genbu Ravine to the fairy. They also talk with Yumemi via a transmission.

Also, it seems Niji found a very suspicious group of fairies that... well... They have very strange clothes, much like Tsuru's...

Show us the way, O magnificent book...


Daiko and his group, exploring the house some, they find out that there's actually a sauna AND a pool! Just what kind of house is this?! Of course, they test them!
After this, everyone decides to go to sleep. Even Niji brought the fairies so they can pass the night at the house!
But of course, before that, Kiku and Koa read a peculiar book together that they found, made by Leiko "Lucy" Kochiya, who was/is a famous author... O, incredible book of the heavens, teach us your content...

Before this, though, Niji and Sakura went to Eientei to look for Keine, finding out some... strange situation that the princess of the place, Mokou and Keine herself reached as an agreement. After the place is shrouded in an insane amount of darkness (made by an entity called Megumi) and everything returns to normal

However, Sakura takes time to show Daiko... what it was Himiko's, his mother, room. There, he finds out that he was going to have an older sister, Mikoto, but an abortion occurred and Himiko lost her. After sharing a sad moment, he opens a box that has a letter seemingly directed to him, and a blank spellcard.

Tsuru see's some strange things at night... but it might be just her.

Morning arrives...

And it can be pretty much summarized in this:

The children of the village disappeared. Also did Yuudachi, Koakuma and the fairies that stayed at home.
Niji had a confrontation with Hecatia at the Hakurei Shrine.

Crisis.


A lot of things happen. Everyone is alerted by the disappearances of the children, but different clues lead to the protagonists know that the fairies, the children and Yuudachi are being held in a different vampire mansion than the SDM. (Koakuma was just summoned by Patchouli). One of the major clues is Seija, who left presentation cards all over the place, and she even admits and tells where this mansion is located.
Small incidents happen, such as the lake being frozen and Cirno being inside Daiyousei as an energy, but everything is averted.

And so, everyone goes to Muenzuka, the place where this vampires live... There, no harmful conflict happens... well, the only harmful thing that happens if the Mistress of the mansion, Corin Charite, getting burned due to the sun, but she will be okay.
There, they meet with the previous named one, along with Chloe LeBlanc (the only maid of the mansion), Charlotte LeBlanc (vampire), Satsuki Rin and Megumi (a devil that... is like a twin of Koakuma).
The children, fairies and Yuudachi are freed None of them were having a bad time.

Some extra stuff happens, such as Daiyousei being possessed by an evil spirit, which Daiko takes into him after taking advice from Kira. After this, Kiku, Koakuma, Cirno and Daiyousei look forward to start a relationship the four of them, as feelings were revealed.
Also, Bastet 'fused' with Doremy's sister: Oniru Sweet. Apparently, this is to not let the Dream World collapse... Oniru and Bastet have the mission to find a way to save it.

And it keeps on and on...


Several things happen, such as Niji and Marry finding an shrine with a mysterious book, along with a dead Kogasa. However, everything inside this shrine and the shrine itself disappears, leaving only Marry and Niji with the book. After giving it to Kosuzu, she says it's the 'Book of Revelations'.
Sanae and Kogasa, after a bit of a discussion, finally come to an understanding, forgiving each other.

Daiko also finds out that there are two children lost: Orino's children (Ray and Jessica), and he founds them at the SDM. They were the two kids that were going to be used for the clone machine so Flandre can have the food she wants. Remilia offers no resistance and lets them go. Daiko also lets Kira go from his body. He tells him before that, however, that he is brother of 'Mima'.

Daiko also changed the gender of the evil spirit that possessed Daiyousei thanks to Kira's help. He is a boy (now a girl) and his(her?) name is Rafael. Though he takes Rachael as her name now.

Also, Niji, or at least, a clone of hers declares her love for Clownpiece, which she reciprocates. However, some things about her are told to Niji, but even so, she accepts them.

And so, Daiko, Kiku, Koakuma, Cirno and Daiyousei start to make a cake for Flandre's birthday...

Who took my house?!


After having a great scare after being told that his house disappeared (and Kyouko suggesting it could be Nue. Luckily, the house was back a bit after that), the cake is done. After giving it to Flandre and sharing a nice moment with the SDM family, Remilia gives some money to Daiko for the favor... For doing this to her sister.

Tsuru, who stayed at the Charite Uncanny Household, find outs that Chloe and Charlotte, much like Kiku (which real name is Kuro), Bastet (which real name is Shiro) Niji, and a 'Mayu' person, are her sisters. All of them were created by Valentine Claythorne.

And so, Niji and the other fairies dive into the lake after receiving information that the bottom of it is the entrance to the Fairy World, and only fairies can get past it.
And they do so. They arrive at the world full of nature that any fairy would like to live in: The Fairy World.
There, they find out that the person that attacked Chen and Ran years ago is called 'Arion/Annie'. It seems it can change genders...
They also find out that this person is searching for 'Elfin Mint', a special fairy, for an unknown reason.

Mayu


At the village, a food competition is happening, and it seems there's a cheater! One of the three eats something that can let them eat as much as they can, but Daiko soon exposes the truth to the light of the day, the winner being a woman called Sekibanki. One is disqualified while the other outright loses.

When Tsuru, Chloe and Charlotte look at the village for Mayu, they quickly find her singing 'Night of Fire'. She happily greets Tsuru with o so much affection.

The search continues and... the fairies find Orange, though she looks as mature as Meiling. It seems she's... Arion/Annie's servant...
And they meet with Arion/Annie herself. After speaking with her, she departs with Orange in search for Elfin.
However, after the group of fairies keep in their business... they meet up with Elfin Mint, the fairy that Arion/Annie is looking for.
... and she finds her, because Annie followed them.
A confrontation inevitably happens and...

Everything turns black.

Daiko meets up with an strange person called Mamizou, who later leaves Mystia's stand. He then finds out that everything he had in his pockets is no longer there...

Soul Puppeteers.


After returning to Gensokyo and settling back (although Marry couldn't make it and return to Gensokyo...) Kiku performs a ceremony/ritual that could help Orange to get rid with the influence of the Forbidden Danmaku that she was exposed to when with Arion/Annie... but she passes away.

And after this, late at night, Kira reunites Daiyousei AND Daiko...

To tell them that, from now on, they will be his apprentices... teaching then about the manipulation of souls...

>>If these aren't added and still relevant, add them: Frozen Hell. Spirit Apprenticeship. Lost Valuables.

Frozen Hell: The underworld is losing it's heat, and this problem will only get worse and reach Gensokyo if it continues. It seems linked to the Fairy World, so something must be done around that to stop it.

Spirit Apprenticeship: Kira has given Daiko and Daiyousei gloves, which seem to have to do with controlling spirits. Although it isn't the most important problem, he has expressed that it wouldn't be very well if we gave poor results the next time he meets us.

Lost Valuables: Daiko's belongings have been swiped from his pockets during a night stay at Mystia's stand. The strange winged Mamizou is a possible suspect, but regardless of who has them or where they are, they must be retrieved!

Quests

> The Fascinating Danmaku Festival of Fantasia.
>> In one month and a half, a "fantastic danmaku festival" it's going to be celebrated for Gensokyo's upcoming new year. Anyone can participate and it will be awesome. A team of five people max is allowed.
>> Time left before the festival: 42 days.

> Dear Mother...
>> Daiko's mother, Himiko Susumu, disappeared. He wants to find her at any costs. Her current whereabouts are unknown...

> Frozen Hell
>> The underworld is losing it's heat, and this problem will only get worse and reach Gensokyo if it continues. It seems linked to the Fairy World, so something must be done around that to stop it.

> Spirit Apprenticeship
>> Kira has given Daiko and Daiyousei gloves, which seem to have to do with controlling spirits. Although it isn't the most important problem, he has expressed that it wouldn't be very well if we gave poor results the next time he meets us.

> Lost Valuables
>> Daiko's belongings have been swiped from his pockets during a night stay at Mystia's stand. The strange winged Mamizou is a possible suspect, but regardless of who has them or where they are, they must be retrieved!
