Maribel Hearn Quest: ACT III - Part 3

[Neovereign]

//We should probably try to communicate with her next time we go to sleep. Or even try to when she manifests on us.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Yes... she somehow survived complete extermination before, remaining only her life energy..."
>Sigh.
>"We should get going to the show, cmon everyone, and thanks for everything Shingyoku."

>"You're welcome." Shingyoku shifts to its female form and smiles, "It's the least we could do, since you assisted us."

>Nod then close all the remaining gaps and remake the gap leading to the show.
>Lead our group through it and afterwards close that one too.

>You close all active gaps and remake the gap you encountered those fairies with.
>You lead the group through it, you notice the fairies and youkai all seem to be migrating to a spot down the road, where a large crowd is assembled under a small hill, which seems to have been converted into a makeshift stage.
>_

[Monarda]

>"Let's head there, quick."
>Head there, petting Chen to relieve stress.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Let's head there, quick."
>Head there, petting Chen to relieve stress.

>You head to the crowd, petting Chen along the way.
>You notice two figures take the stage, they appear to be Kyouko and Mystia, clothed in black outfits, and wearing sunglasses. Mystia is holding an electric guitar.
>_

[Monarda]

>"Hey there they are."
>Make a gap to get there faster, then wave at the two performers with the best smile we can put for now.
>"Good luck you two !"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Hey there they are."
>Make a gap to get there faster, then wave at the two performers with the best smile we can put for now.
>"Good luck you two !"

>You gap to the edge of the crowd and wave and call out to Mystia and Kyouko.
>You don't think they can hear you.

>"YEAH! YOU GO KYOUKO!" you hear someone nearby shout above the cheering of the crowd.
>_

[the old guy]

>Look to see who it is!

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Look to see who it is!

>You look to see... a generic looking human? As well as another figure dressed in a cloak as to obscure their features.

>You see Nazrin nearby as well, leaning against a tree, though the voice didn't sound like hers.
>You notice Chen going into full cat mode and beginning to stalk the unsuspecting mouse.
>_

[Monarda]

>Head and quickly stop the cat.
>"Chen, don't bother the poor mouse girl, it's not nice."
>Take her and head over to the cloaked figure.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Head and quickly stop the cat.
>"Chen, don't bother the poor mouse girl, it's not nice."

>You stop Chen
>"Aww..." she pouts.

>Take her and head over to the cloaked figure.

>You escort her over to the cloaked figure.
>They don't seem to notice you.

>"ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?!" you hear Kyouko yell from the stage.
>_

[Monarda]

>Is the cloaked figure as tall as Byakuren ?
>Turn to face the stage.
>"So they are a rock band huh ? That's really neat."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Is the cloaked figure as tall as Byakuren ?

>No.

>Turn to face the stage.
>"So they are a rock band huh ? That's really neat."

>"Yeah, and they sound awesome too." says the generic looking human. Her voice matches that of the cheer you heard earlier.

>The crowd roars in excitement.
>_

[Monarda]

>"So who are you Miss ? Are you a friend of theirs ?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"So who are you Miss ? Are you a friend of theirs ?"

>"Well, you can say I'm a friend of Kyouko, but I'd rather remain anonymous at the concerts."

>_

[Monarda]

>"Oh, then i have an idea about who you are."
>Turn to the cloaked person.
>"And what about her ? Is she a friend of yours ?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Oh, then i have an idea about who you are."

>"Oh, really now?" the woman gives you a curious look.

>Turn to the cloaked person.
>"And what about her ? Is she a friend of yours ?"

>"You could say that..."

>You notice the cloaked person in some kind of whispering argument with herself.

>"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Kyouko yells again, prompting the crowd to roar louder.
>_

[the old guy]

>YELL "YES WE ARE!"

[Monarda]

>Once that is done:
>"Yes, although not exactly, just a lead."
>Nod, then start paying attention to the show.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>YELL "YES WE ARE!"

>You cheer with the crowd.

>Once that is done:
>"Yes, although not exactly, just a lead."
>Nod, then start paying attention to the show.

>You start paying attention to the show, just as Mystia begins to play the guitar, it sounds amazing.
>_

[Monarda]

>Smile and cheer up, then keep listening.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Smile and cheer up, then keep listening.

>You let the music take your mind off of other things.

>Mystia continues to play the guitar intensely, increasing the excitement of the crowd with every screech of the strings.
>Kyouko begins singing.
>_

[Monarda]

>Listen carefully to Kyouko and keep those lyrics in mind.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Listen carefully to Kyouko and keep those lyrics in mind.

>Kyouko seems to be singing about her training and the stress it causes her.
>_

[Monarda]

>Listen carefully to see if we hear any swear words.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Listen carefully to see if we hear any swear words.

>You listen...
>You actually don't hear any swearing.
>_

[Monarda]

>"Huh ? I don't hear anything rude on her lyrics...."
>Look confused.
>"What is MIss Hijiri talking about ?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Huh ? I don't hear anything rude on her lyrics...."
>Look confused.
>"What is MIss Hijiri talking about ?"

>"It's probably because of how loud it is and how she's practically screaming out her and Mystia's frustrations..." the generic human answers, "I personally don't have any objections to it, but I bet Hijiri would be disappointed in all four of us if she knew we were fans... Well, maybe not Nazrin over there, considering she doesn't live in the temple..."
>"H-Hey!" the cloaked woman looks over to the human, "Unzan would have you know that he is not a fan of this...."
>"Then why the hell would he even come with you?"
>"That's what I asked... I mean, he never has to come with us..."
>"And what did he answer?"
>"Just that he's duty-bound to remain with me..."
>"Well at least he can easily hide with his size changing... it would be a dead giveaway if anyone saw him."
>"Yeah..."
>_

[Monarda]

>"Well i don't sense any rudeness from this if the crown enjoys it, people like Mystia and Kyouko actually brought revolutions that even ended wars."
>Sigh.
>"I think Miss Hijiri is just being too conservative..."

[Neovereign]

>Make a note to try and create a gap as large as we can for later. Moving a large train crowd could be useful in some cases... Of course, we'll tell Yukari about it afterwards.

>You make a mental note.
