Greater Centenary Festival - Heavenly Cross/VI

[Tashi]

Niji:
>Wave if we can.

Niji Yellow:
>Sweep out an area to sit in, then try to melt the remaining snow with a second light ball.

Nijisa:
>How far in are we?

Bastet:
>We there yet?

> Well not like you can focus too much in waving when you are diving to the bottom of the lake. You can die if you are not careful...
> But it seems she is examining something, near your direction.

---

> You try to sweep out an area near the lake. Ah, how good would to be cold resistant as Cirno..
> And create a second light ball to try and melt the remaining snow at the grass...
> Well, it works at least.

---

> ...
> You find yourself wanting to end this misery of yooours!
> You have made some progress, but still not the book you are looking for whatsoever...

---

> Yes. You exit the mansion before and went for the human village.
> "Whether Rem or Id are in the Human Village, we should find out. Also importantly, Bastet..."

V!Daiko:

> "Ugh, let's... Let's just have you go like nothing wrong is happening, but we'll just be with you. If they start getting wiled up because it's... well, you, then  we'll try our best to calm the situation and stuff, alright?"

Tsuru:

> "Well we don't really know where all of them are. And it's not like we have a sort of signal we can shoot into the air that all of them would come to..."

> "... What if I am stab- AHEM, I mean... Well, I guess pretending nothing's wrong is also a good idea... Daring but I guess it can... work."

---

> Mayu smirks.
> "Don't give me ideas, Ruru <3"
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

> Nod.
> "So we just meet up, then start the announcement and such there."

Tsuru:

>"How did you do that heart thingy with your face?"
> "It would be sorta useful right now..."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

> Nod.
> "So we just meet up, then start the announcement and such there."

Tsuru:

>"How did you do that heart thingy with your face?"
> "It would be sorta useful right now..."

> "... Alright. I hope you are in the right thing about the villagers not holding too much of a grudge."
> V!Keine just nods... a bit.

---

> "Hey, it's NOT impossible!"
> "Y-You want to make a light show or what?" Charlotte couldn't help it but stutter.
> "Hey, not a bad idea either! Reflectors, flashy lights can work! Maybe some fireworks that say-"

WE NEED YOU HERE, KURO, SHIRO, NIJI!

> "-upon exploding at the sky!"
> "Please be realistic, Mayu..." Chloe sighs. "We don't have any fireworks."
> "Who needs fireworks? <3"
> _

[meow56]

Niji:
>Try to find whatever it is she's looking at.

Niji Yellow:
>Sit when it's suitably dry.

Nijisa:
>How much of the room has been searched?

Bastet:
>Yes?

[Tashi]

Niji:
>Try to find whatever it is she's looking at.

Niji Yellow:
>Sit when it's suitably dry.

Nijisa:
>How much of the room has been searched?

Bastet:
>Yes?

> Upon closer inspection as you get close to the bottom, she is actually looking at what seems to be an obnoxious crack that... it's really weird.
> Sooner or later she looks up to you, noticing your presence.

---

> You then proceed to sit.
> Yuudachi has stopped shivering by now.
> "Yuuda." She sits comfortably on your hands.

---

> Some of it... You are still at a corner, so...

---

> "... You know, I wouldn't mind if, at any certain moment, we could separate. Not that I mind being like this, but knowing how to split can be useful... ... Though honestly I don't really feel like exposing myself to others so easily..."

[meow56]

Niji:
>Is it the crack we're looking for?
>If we can't wave, at least raise our hand or something.

Niji Yellow:
>Pet.

Nijisa:
>Uuuuuuughhhh.
>Why does she have so many books!?
>We're done here. Stand up and return to Marisa.
>...Just out of curiosity, how tall was the pile?

Bastet:
>That makes sense.
>We're in plain sight of people, right?
>>If so, say "We could drop by Daiko's house for privacy, if you'd like."
>>If not, say "We could try doing it now..."

[Tashi]

Niji:
>Is it the crack we're looking for?
>If we can't wave, at least raise our hand or something.

Niji Yellow:
>Pet.

Nijisa:
>Uuuuuuughhhh.
>Why does she have so many books!?
>We're done here. Stand up and return to Marisa.
>...Just out of curiosity, how tall was the pile?

Bastet:
>That makes sense.
>We're in plain sight of people, right?
>>If so, say "We could drop by Daiko's house for privacy, if you'd like."
>>If not, say "We could try doing it now..."

> Well, it's underwater... and, well, considering the tremors that were happening before, cracks should be... understandable? Either way, that is not what you are looking for. What you are looking for is a bit more deep than that, and you should be able to find the gate to the Fairy World.
> You open your palm towards Wakasagihime, continuing your wa-
> Wakasagihime starts to swim towards you and Red.

---

> You pet Yuudachi.
> Yuudachi then tries to grab the light ball as well.

---

> Who knows! Maybe Marisa is, in the end, a very intellectual person!
> You decide you won't take this anymore and depart from the room.
> ... though, thinking about it... Why would you even start doing that... More than anything considering that the pile was around YOUR WAIST if not a bit or less.

---

> Yes, you are at the outskirts of the Human Village. Pretty much people around chatting and minding their own businesses.
> "We can try... and that's also a place to search, so better for us."
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

> "I hope so too..."

Tsuru:

> "That' won't work. That'd only work if they were all looking at that spot in the sky at the same time..."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

> "I hope so too..."

Tsuru:

> "That' won't work. That'd only work if they were all looking at that spot in the sky at the same time..."

> "... In a few hours we shall meet, then?"

---

> "Then we should make it EXTRA flashy!"
> "It's daytime..." Charlotte points out.
> "Then we wait until night!"
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:
> "Mhm."

Tsuru:
> "And what if they're asleep?"

[meow56]

Niji:
>?
>Slow down a little.

Niji Yellow:
>Will that hurt?

Nijisa:
>Eh.
>Head downstairs.

Bastet:
>Alright, let's go there then?

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:
> "Mhm."

Tsuru:
> "And what if they're asleep?"

> "Alright then. I have some stuff to do, so I will meet with you... when I go to announce? Is that fine?"

---

> "I will sing as loud as possible!"
> "That's savage! And no good to your vocal chords!"
> "I am confident they will be just fine! And if not that, we can always get some sound equipment to amplify my voice!"

Niji:
>?
>Slow down a little.

Niji Yellow:
>Will that hurt?

Nijisa:
>Eh.
>Head downstairs.

Bastet:
>Alright, let's go there then?

> You slow down, only for Hime to reach both of you and starting to drag you upwards.
> She looks at both and shakes her head.

---

> Err... Well, too much light can hurt... but you are "light", so uh... You assume so?

---

> You give up on this ordeal and head back.
> "Oh?"
> Marisa, who is at the couch with a dish and what seems to be the remnants of a meal, examines you with her sight...
> "... So the book?"

---

> "Sure thing."
>_

[meow56]

Niji:
>Shake our head in return. This is a vital mission!
>Don't try to resist her though. We're probably not good enough swimmers to beat her and it'd probably be easier just to explain the situation.

Niji Yellow:
>Move the light ball out of reach.
>"No, Yuudachi, that's dangerous. I think."

Nijisa:
>"I couldn't find it! Your room is so messy!"

Bastet:
>Head there.

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

> "Mhm. Just try to make this vision happen."

Tsuru:

> "Don't be a disturbance to others not involved..."

[Tashi]

//Apologies for the hiatus. We are back on track.

Niji:
>Shake our head in return. This is a vital mission!
>Don't try to resist her though. We're probably not good enough swimmers to beat her and it'd probably be easier just to explain the situation.

Niji Yellow:
>Move the light ball out of reach.
>"No, Yuudachi, that's dangerous. I think."

Nijisa:
>"I couldn't find it! Your room is so messy!"

Bastet:
>Head there.

> You shake your head in response! Marryyy-
> Hime keeps dragging you upwards, until the three reach the surface.
> "D-Don't please. It's dangerous."

---

> You move the light away.
> Yuudachi puffs her cheeks.

---

> "What are you saying 'messy'? Pretty easy to find things!" Marisa blinks.
> "I am hearing lies!" You hear Alice.

---

> It's not too far away, so it won't take you much to reach Daiko's house.

V!Daiko:

> "Mhm. Just try to make this vision happen."

Tsuru:

> "Don't be a disturbance to others not involved..."

> "Fine. I hope you know what you are doing." V!Aya disappears.
> "... I hope we do..." V!Keine takes a deep breath.

---

> "You can never know when someone can get in trance by your voice~"
> "Trance?"
> "Why yes! I could sing something and people maybe can get charmed by my voice!" Mayu pats Charlotte. "In fact, I bet you could do it too."
> "You aren't modest, do you Mayu..." Chloe blinks.
> _

[meow56]

Niji:
>"But we left someone in there!"

Niji Yellow:
>Pet.
>"I know, but I don't want you getting burnt, ok?"

Nijisa:
>Shake head.
>"Your floor is covered with a waist-high sea of books! How do you walk around in there!?"

Bastet:
>Enter once we get there and head somewhere secluded.

[Tashi]

Niji:
>"But we left someone in there!"

Niji Yellow:
>Pet.
>"I know, but I don't want you getting burnt, ok?"

Nijisa:
>Shake head.
>"Your floor is covered with a waist-high sea of books! How do you walk around in there!?"

Bastet:
>Enter once we get there and head somewhere secluded.

> "I-I understand! Some of the fairies that went there came back, and... a tremor happened when they tried to go again."
> Wakasagihime looks down, concerned.
> "A... a lot happened inside the lake. When the tremor was ocurring, a hole got formed, and all of them got sucked due to the water flowing in it. That's why there are so many... cracks down there."

---

> "Hmph..." She sits on your hands and folds her arms on her chest, pouting.

---

> "... With my legs?"
> A sudden Alice gives Marisa a slight hit on the temple.
> "T-That wasn't called?!"
> "It was for being a jerk." The Puppeteer frowns. "Now go to search it yourself!"
> "I can't. I am in medical care, you know?"

---

> You arrive soonish enough.
> Before getting into the building, though, you catch a glimpse of people gathering at one point. It seems they are preparing stuff...
> After getting into home sweet home, you decide to... Well, go to a room downstairs. Yea, that's secluded enough.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:
> "Well then... here's hoping it all goes well when the time comes..."

Tsuru:
> "You can't just trance everyone. That's...irresponsible."

[meow56]

Niji:
>"That's... worrying."

Niji Yellow:
>Sigh.
>"I wish I could let you, but I'd rather not see you injured."

Nijisa:
>Do we think we could carry Marisa?

Bastet:
>Alright, now what?

[Tashi]

Daiko:
> "Well then... here's hoping it all goes well when the time comes..."

Tsuru:
> "You can't just trance everyone. That's...irresponsible."

> "When will that be?" Christine asks from the kitchen.

---

> "Well, not my fault if they hear an oh so lovely voice, riiite~?"
> "You aren't..." Chloe repeats, sighing.

Niji:
>"That's... worrying."

Niji Yellow:
>Sigh.
>"I wish I could let you, but I'd rather not see you injured."

Nijisa:
>Do we think we could carry Marisa?

Bastet:
>Alright, now what?

> "That's why you can't go down there. It... can be dangerous..."

---

> "Yuuda..." Yuudachi looks up to you sadly.

---

> ... N-No, you don't think so.
> ... Maybe with a lot of effort, but...

---

> "I... am a bit afraid on what can happen to me if we indeed separate from each other... I don't want to disappear... but let's try to. Try to separate me from you...?"

[meow56]

Niji:
>"But we have to go! People are in danger down there!"

Niji Yellow:
>Pet.

Nijisa:
>Arisa's here too, right?
>>If she is, do we think both of us could carry Marisa?

Bastet:
>A-Alright. Let's hope nothing bad happens...
>We have some experience in this field...so attempt to separate.

[Rin Satsuki]

Niji:
>"But we have to go! People are in danger down there!"

Niji Yellow:
>Pet.

Nijisa:
>Arisa's here too, right?
>>If she is, do we think both of us could carry Marisa?

Bastet:
>A-Alright. Let's hope nothing bad happens...
>We have some experience in this field...so attempt to separate.

> "A-And you might get in that too!"

---

> You pet the doll..
> Yuuda puffs her cheeks and looks away.

---

> Arisa is here, yes.
> And... maybe? It's the double Niji power!

---

> How would you like to try that? Will for it?

[meow56]

Niji:
>"I can't just leave people in there!"

Niji Yellow:
>Small sigh, disappointed that we can't give Yuudachi what she wants.
>Idly pet.

Nijisa & Arisa:
>Try it!

Bastet:
>Let's start by copying what we did to separate from Daiko and see if it works.
>...so yes, we're just going to will for it.
>I'm not sure if this'll work, but just try imagining yourself next to me?
>Follow suit and imagine Oniru next to ourselves.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:
> "Later... today."

Tsuru:
> "Better to think of a different way..."

[Tashi]

Niji:
>"I can't just leave people in there!"

Niji Yellow:
>Small sigh, disappointed that we can't give Yuudachi what she wants.
>Idly pet.

Nijisa & Arisa:
>Try it!

Bastet:
>Let's start by copying what we did to separate from Daiko and see if it works.
>...so yes, we're just going to will for it.
>I'm not sure if this'll work, but just try imagining yourself next to me?
>Follow suit and imagine Oniru next to ourselves.

> "Y-You will keep insisting, won't you?"

---

> It's sad, but she can't have everything...
> Have everything...
> You hope she doesn't grow spoiled or anything...
> ...
> Will she ever grow? Err... Probably not, being a doll and all...
> You idly pet Yuudachi, who still looks away...

--

> Both of you position at Marisa's sides...
> "Hm?" She looks puzzled.
> "W-Woah!"
> As both of you take her by legs and using, your shoulders to hold her rear so she doesn't fall off, lift the witch up!
> ... O-Or so you want to think. It's not easy... but you are sorta doing it?
> Oh dear, walking up the stairs will be a pain...

---

> If Daiko could, then you probably can too...
> Therefore, you try to copy-cat his doings to separate each of you from him, but now with Oniru... If the Baku can't sustain herself alone in her own body, then you can probably give her part of your soul or something like Daiko did...
> She, agreeing, starts to imagine... or you think she does, at least. You do so as well..
> You feel something... You are certainly doing something with you inside...

Daiko:
> "Later... today."

Tsuru:
> "Better to think of a different way..."

> "When is later?" She examines the dishes on the shelf, feeling for them.
> "... In a couple of hours, maybe?" Mystia questions.

---

> "..." Mayu ponders for a second... "Hey, that's not a bad idea."
> "W-What is not a bad idea?" Charlotte asks.
> "Oh, just thinking about what we just talked about." The singer giggles. "Anyway... Do you think we could, say, go out now and gather all of them, Ruru?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

> Nod.

Tsuru:

> "Er... maybe."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

> Nod.

Tsuru:

> "Er... maybe."

> Christine keeps feeling for stuff at the kitchen...
> "What's up with that bird?" Cirno questions.
> "Tengu." Mystia rectifies the fairy.

---

> "Great, let's not lose time, then!"
> Mayu's eyes light up brightly.
> "Oh, I know! Pajama-party!"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:
> "She's in a bit of a situation is all..."

Tsuru:
> "P-Pajama party? I don't even have any..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:
> "She's in a bit of a situation is all..."

Tsuru:
> "P-Pajama party? I don't even have any..."

> "About what?"

---

> "I can deliver just fine!"
> "No joke..." Charlotte giggles.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

> "Just... troubling, really."

Tsuru:

> "I'm not sure I trust you... I mean, it's not like anyone knows what I'd love to wear or the exact sizes."
