[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Grab towards where we're getting slapped from!

> You try to grab someone!
> But you don't grab anybody.
> The slaps stop.
> "Uuuh..." Mystia looks clearly confused.
> You realize how weird you might look to others...

Kiku:

>"I-I hope none!"

> "I hope so!" Koa says. "M-Maybe you just forgot to put them on... It's better if we think that...?"

Tsuru:

>"Ah, Miss Remilia, i apologize for my disturbance, i was just heading to the library to return this book that Patchouli lent me."
>Bow.
>"You do not look well, is something wrong ?"

> "... the hell are you?" Remilia asks, not lessening her frown. "What are you doing in my mansion?"

Arisa:

>"Yeah but how old ?"

> "How old you think you look?"

Niji Blue:

>"Okay, take another deep breath..."
>Help them out.
>"...now hold it, and go when you are ready."
>Help them carry it through, and prepare to take Orange to the surface then do it !

> The fairies open their mouths, stopping holding their breaths. Then, they hold them again.
> You help them as they get past the portal!
> ...
> You suddenly are underwater.

> (Nijipiece) The lampad points to the portal, confused.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Withdrawal back to our body and exit the spirit realm.

Kiku:

>"That makes me seem perverted or really forgetful..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Withdrawal back to our body and exit the spirit realm.

> You get back to the normal stand... your mind, at least. Those slaps were very real, though.

Kiku:

>"That makes me seem perverted or really forgetful..."

> "Or someone else is the perverted." Koa suggests.
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Blue:

>Swim ! Use both swimming and flight propulsion to get everyone to the surface ! Especially Orange !

Tsuru:

>"Miss Sakuya let me stay in order to study some books, she warned me that i still needed your consent though, so i was hoping to run into you to ask for such."
>Look at the book.
>"...also, i needed to return the book, can't just take it back home after all."

Arisa:

>"Uh... under 10 years ?"

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"I really have almost no safe plans anymore... I don't even want to alter myself right now either."
>Pout.

Kiku:

>Recall the events and who we were with up til now. Stopping at our last change of clothes.

[Tashi]

Niji Blue:

>Swim ! Use both swimming and flight propulsion to get everyone to the surface ! Especially Orange !

> You swim swim swim!

> (Nijipiece) "Let's gooo!" Cirno travels.
> "Wait for meee!" Daiyousei travels too.
> The three fairies of light follow.

Tsuru:

>"Miss Sakuya let me stay in order to study some books, she warned me that i still needed your consent though, so i was hoping to run into you to ask for such."
>Look at the book.
>"...also, i needed to return the book, can't just take it back home after all."

> "... Why the hell Sakuya invite people without my consent...? Tch..."
> Remilia gives you a sharp look.
> "Come one. I will go with you."

Arisa:

>"Uh... under 10 years ?"

> Marisa looks at Niji.
> "And you?"

Daiko:

>"I really have almost no safe plans anymore... I don't even want to alter myself right now either."
>Pout.

> "I'd rather die of boredom than having to endure this..." Mystia frowns.

Kiku:

>Recall the events and who we were with up til now. Stopping at our last change of clothes.

> In all of this day, you didn't changed clothes.
> You have been with a lot of people... You are sure, though that near the end of the incident with the vampires, you still had your underwear on.
> _

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>Nod and follow.

Basty:

>How are we ?

Niji Blue:

>Go go go !

Nijipiece:

>Look at Elfin, how is she ?

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Check our visions for anything.
>"Feels like we just have to..."

Kiku:

>Recall people we know that might've done something like this...

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>Nod and follow.

> You start to follow Remilia in silence...

Basty:

>How are we ?

> You are half-asleep on Sakura's lap. Her petting is just awesome...

Niji Blue:

>Go go go !

> You keep swiming.
> As you keep going, you feel how someone helps you to go a bit more faster. It's Wakasagihime.

Nijipiece:

>Look at Elfin, how is she ?

> The portal blinks.
> "Let's... go..." Elfin nods, urging you to go.

Daiko:

>Check our visions for anything.
>"Feels like we just have to..."

> Nothing seems out of the ordinary... Well, if you could call this visions ordinary...
> "... And if we go to other place?"
> Mystia pauses.
> "You know what? Nevermind."

Kiku:

>Recall people we know that might've done something like this...

> You try to recall... That Megumi? Maybe Elly? She doesn't seem the kind who could do something like that, though... but she's the kind who dares to throw tiles to people's head, sooo...
> There's also... ... Uh, you just met so much people today, and it's kinda-
> Wait... You recall that moment when Koa, Daiyousei and Cirno were rubbing your tail at your room... That was a weird yet fantastic moment. Maybe one of them...?
> _

[Monarda]

Basty:

>"Meow.... !"
>Get up !
>"Sakura-sama ! The lake !"

Nijipiece:

>Nod and help her.
>"Do your best."
>Take her through and go to shore !

Tsuru:

>"Is Patchouli awake at this time ?"

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"We can't just leave the stand alone, and it's also pouring, so yea..."
>Are we still holding Mystia's hand?

[Tashi]

Basty:

>"Meow.... !"
>Get up !
>"Sakura-sama ! The lake !"

> You get up.
> "What about it?"

Nijipiece:

>Nod and help her.
>"Do your best."
>Take her through and go to shore !

> Along with the remaning fairies that are holding the mints, all of you go through the portal.
> ...
> You are underwater, and you quickly start to swim.

Tsuru:

>"Is Patchouli awake at this time ?"

> "Probably not."
> Remilia stops.
> "Wait, what I am doing?" She turns to see you. "Give it to me."

Daiko:

>"We can't just leave the stand alone, and it's also pouring, so yea..."
>Are we still holding Mystia's hand?

> You aren't.
> Mystia sighs.
> "Being 'trapped' under this storm, and with a stalker lurking... What else?"
> _

[Monarda]

Tsuru:

>"There is something i need to tell Patchouli about this book though, i would like to see if she is still awake and able."
>Nod.
>"It's very important."

Basty:

>"They're back !"

Niji Blue:

>Go go go.

Nijipiece:

>Keep going !

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Sigh.
>"...It'll be midnight soon. My valuables went missing... There's another soul from me whom I didn't get to meet... I have to go meet up with him soon... and I don't really know if Niji and the others are alright..."

Kiku:

>"Well... Where were we?"

[Tashi]

Tsuru:

>"There is something i need to tell Patchouli about this book though, i would like to see if she is still awake and able."
>Nod.
>"It's very important."

> "I don't know you."
> Remilia examines.
> "... Outside World resident."

Basty:

>"They're back !"

> Sakura blinks.
> "... How are you so sure?"

Niji Blue:

>Go go go.

Nijipiece:

>Keep going !

> All of you keep going...
> ...
> You arrive at the surfa-
> All of you suddenly appear under a roof of the SDM.
> You notice there's someone with an umbrella looking at all of you.
> "Are all of you okay?" Sakuya asks. Yes, it seems she was waiting for you all the time...

Daiko:

>Sigh.
>"...It'll be midnight soon. My valuables went missing... There's another soul from me whom I didn't get to meet... I have to go meet up with him soon... and I don't really know if Niji and the others are alright..."

> "Can't you check that last one, though?"

Kiku:

>"Well... Where were we?"

> "Hm?" The Koas look at you.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"If they're even back..."
>Try to Ikovision the Nijis that went to the other world.

[Monarda]

Basty:

>"I just feel it in my bones and fur and tail."
>Nod.

Niji Blue and Nijipiece:

>Are we ?
>If so, nod.

Niji Blue:

>"How about Orange ?"
>Look for her.

Niji Scarlet:

>Stop calling and go back to our room.

Tsuru:

>"A friend of Daiko's, and a magician too.

[Rin Satsuki]

Daiko:

>"If they're even back..."
>Try to Ikovision the Nijis that went to the other world.

> You try...
> You instead IkoVision Niji herself.

Basty:

>"I just feel it in my bones and fur and tail."
>Nod.

> Sakura scratches your ears.
> "And in your eeears~?"

Niji Blue and Nijipiece:

>Are we ?
>If so, nod.

Niji Blue:

>"How about Orange ?"
>Look for her.

> Sort of...
> You nod.
> The fairies start to look around.

> Orange isn't here.
> "She's in the mansion. I took her there." Sakuya tells you.

Niji Scarlet:

>Stop calling and go back to our room.

Tsuru:

>"A friend of Daiko's, and a magician too.

> You start to return to your room.

> "And?"
> _

[Monarda]

Niji Blue:

>"Good... we dunno her state though, we aren't sure if she is back to her old self fully."
>Pant.
>"Could we keep an eye on her please while she sleeps ?"

Nijipiece:

>Where is the lampad ? What about Elfin ?
>Where is Lily and Orange's baton ?

Tsuru:

>"And i was also one that helped out with the missing children affair."

Basty:

>"Aaaaaaaayee~..."

[meow56]

V!Niji:
>"Daiko?"

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Niji? Are you back alright?"

[meow56]

V!Niji:
>"Yeah, the explorers are fine. Sakuya was waiting for them!"

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"...I think they're back Mysti..."

[Tashi]

Niji Blue:

>"Good... we dunno her state though, we aren't sure if she is back to her old self fully."
>Pant.
>"Could we keep an eye on her please while she sleeps ?"

Nijipiece:

>Where is the lampad ? What about Elfin ?
>Where is Lily and Orange's baton ?

> "First off, let things calm down a bit." Sakuya speaks.
> "Ugu..." Sunny whines as she gets up. "C-Cold..."
> The others agree.
> Lily is with your group. She has the rod with her.
> The lampad gets up and looks around, shaking. It's natural, of course...
> Elfin is still lying, and the fairies, holding the wet mints, quickly approach to her. She eases her panting a bit with it.

> (Niji) Nijisa and Niji White are 'unsummoned'.

Tsuru:

>"And i was also one that helped out with the missing children affair."

> Remilia still looks unamused.

Basty:

>"Aaaaaaaayee~..."

> "Stay here with Rachael, okay? I will go to the lake."

V!Niji:
>"Daiko?"

V!Daiko:

>"Niji? Are you back alright?"

V!Niji:
>"Yeah, the explorers are fine. Sakuya was waiting for them!"

Daiko:

>"...I think they're back Mysti..."

> "... Really?" Mystia perks up. "Are they at the lake?"
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Are you guys at the lake?
>Envision the lake if so.

[Monarda]

Niji-chan:

>What ? Why ?

Niji White:

>What happened ?

Tsuru:

>"In short, i am an ally."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"Are you guys at the lake?
>Envision the lake if so.

> You try to envision the lake...
> It doesn't work.

Niji-chan:

>What ? Why ?

Niji White:

>What happened ?

> It just seems that. Both of them returned to you. Poof.

Tsuru:

>"In short, i am an ally."

> Remilia just keeps staring at you.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"I think they might be..."

[Monarda]

Niji Blue:

>"Sakuya ! Something happened on the Fairy World, the mes that stayed there suddenly were kicked out."

Niji White and Nijisa:

>What is the last thing we recall ?

Tsuru:

>"Hey, relax, it's not like i'm gonna jump at you with a knife."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"I think they might be..."

> "Should we go? I know it's not wise to leave... but I'd like to know if they are okay and stuff."

Niji Blue:

>"Sakuya ! Something happened on the Fairy World, the mes that stayed there suddenly were kicked out."

> "Why you stayed?" Sakuya asks.

Niji White and Nijisa:

>What is the last thing we recall ?

> None of you exist. Instead, Niji recalls.
> You recall... Well, poof. Nijisa was at the underground passage, while Niji White was flying, and suddenly they just ceased to exist, as if you unmade them.

Tsuru:

>"Hey, relax, it's not like i'm gonna jump at you with a knife."

> "I wasn't thinking that. And let me tell you that saying so doesn't give you any positive points."
