> You are Seija Kijin, Counterattacking Amanojaku.
> You are ambitious in overturning society, and such has granted you many enemies in your pursuit of it. However, you've started to build up allies (including a large amount of fairies) in favor of this, and have started to take things in a better way than previously. With a few new cheat items and new abilities of your own, you're ready to aid the lesser residents of Gensokyo much more properly than before. This time, you won't allow yourself to be stopped...
Recap of the previous (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,21188.0.html): Day 2: After dealing with more mallet problems in the aftermath of stopping what may have been another incident, you began to consider improvements to the house and the base. Your faction has agreed to having two people share a bedroom for starters, but you aren't sure what to do with the fairies in regards to this. Venturing to the village to get building materials for the house, you stopped by Louise's clothing store to see if she would like a room as well. Then, you met with Sekibanki about moving anything from her house to the base. After a bit of consideration, your side-activities during this caused something... unwell. Losing most of the day because of this, you returned home and vented a bit, before going to bed after being assured nothing terrible happened from your side-activites.
Day 3: You gained knowledge that the contracting existences failed when you... went out for a bit, and began to recreate them, starting with Reimu. After a brief mistake in fusing with her, you turned your attention towards fitting people in bedrooms again.
> You are currently within one of the hole-possessing rooms in the contrasting house with Yatsuhashi, Benben, and Kagerou. Reimu seems to have left the house.
> "I don't know..."
> Adopt a slowly dawning look.
> "...You know, I think it happened when I mentioned that this was going to be a bedroom for you and Sekibanki. I wonder if she thinks..."
> "Huh..."
> "Maybe she only wanted to sleep with you?" Yatsuhashi says.
> "Don't say it like that..." Benben speaks.
>_
-
> "That's what I'm thinking, yeah."
-
> "That's what I'm thinking, yeah."
> "Huh... I... can't exactly tell Sekibanki to room with someone else..."
>_
-
> "I guess it's something the three of you will have to discuss. Probably without the rest of us around."
-
> "I guess it's something the three of you will have to discuss. Probably without the rest of us around."
> "Okay..."
>_
-
> Adopt a thinking expression, then turn to Yatsu and Ben^2.
> "Would you two mind checking on Raiko? I want to talk to Kagerou in private for a bit."
-
> Adopt a thinking expression, then turn to Yatsu and Ben^2.
> "Would you two mind checking on Raiko? I want to talk to Kagerou in private for a bit."
> "Um, alright." Both nod.
> And depart.
>_
-
> Make sure they're gone, then look to Kagerou.
> "Okay. This might get a bit weird and personal, so if you want me to stop, tell me and I'll stop, and that'll be it."
-
> Make sure they're gone, then look to Kagerou.
> "Okay. This might get a bit weird and personal, so if you want me to stop, tell me and I'll stop, and that'll be it."
> You wait a bit, then return your attention to Kagerou.
> "Uh... Alright..."
>_
-
> "So, long story short, for various reasons, I figured out a new way to safely store things yesterday. Like so."
> Pull out our Gap Folding Umbrella (or, if we don't have that, our Nimble Fabric) and store it in our chest.

> You stuff the Nimble Fabric into your chest.
> "...Okay..." Kagerou nods.
>_
-
> Pull the Nimble Fabric back out and put it away in its normal spot.
> "Anything of any size can safely go in there. Which means that, if you think it would help the living situation for the three of you, I could make it so you could do it too."

> Kagerou seems a bit confused, not exactly following...
>_
-
> "And then you could store things, whatever is necessary to make the rooming situation work out. You could even store Wakasagihime if you wanted."
-
> "And then you could store things, whatever is necessary to make the rooming situation work out. You could even store Wakasagihime if you wanted."
> "Store... Wakasagihime?" Kagerou looks to herself.

-
> Nod.
> "Do you want me to demonstrate with you?"
-
> Nod.
> "Do you want me to demonstrate with you?"
> "I don't know if she'd even want that..."
>_
-
> Shrug.
> "You don't have to if you don't want to. I'm definitely not going to make you. But it's a possibility, at least."
-
> Shrug.
> "You don't have to if you don't want to. I'm definitely not going to make you. But it's a possibility, at least."
> "I'll... ask her about it."
>_
-
> "All right. Though, did you want to try it for yourself first, or...?"
-
> "All right. Though, did you want to try it for yourself first, or...?"
> Kagerou shakes her head.
>_
-
> "All right. I don't really know how to explain what it's like otherwise, though, to be honest."
-
> "All right. I don't really know how to explain what it's like otherwise, though, to be honest."
> "That's fine."
>_
-
> Nod.
> "Okay."
-
> Nod.
> "Okay."
> "Thanks." Kagerou sits at the hole.
>_
-
> "Incidentally, this was how I was going to help move your stuff."
-
> "Incidentally, this was how I was going to help move your stuff."
> "Thanks for the offer again. The moving one too, I mean."
>_
-
> "Of course. I'm glad to help you out. And with this trick, it becomes a lot easier, too."
-
> "Of course. I'm glad to help you out. And with this trick, it becomes a lot easier, too."
> "It sounds like it would be."
>_
-
> Not that we're paying specific attention to there, but how large is Kagerou's chest, and how open is it given her dress?
> "Yeah. All the more reason to not be worried about inconveniencing me."
-
> Not that we're paying specific attention to there, but how large is Kagerou's chest, and how open is it given her dress?
> "Yeah. All the more reason to not be worried about inconveniencing me."
> You've got no view of that given where she is. You'd have to get next to her or on another side of the hole.
> You recall her being fine figured though, and that her dress was open a bit.
> "I'm still considering it though."
>_
-
> Get next to her, then, and try stealing a glance when she's not looking at where we're looking.
> "Right, of course. I'm just saying this is one of the reasons I offered."
-
> Get next to her, then, and try stealing a glance when she's not looking at where we're looking.
> "Right, of course. I'm just saying this is one of the reasons I offered."
> You do so and try to catch a glance.
> Kagerou nods towards the water.
> She beats Seija and Shinmyoumaru, as well as Reimu and Marisa. They're a bit impressive.
>_
-
> Stop looking.
> "Anyway, do you want me to leave you alone for a bit? You look like you're ready to try to talk to her again."
-
> Stop looking.
> "Anyway, do you want me to leave you alone for a bit? You look like you're ready to try to talk to her again."
> "If that's all you wanted."
>_
-
> "Well, I mean, I'd be fine to stick around and socialize. But I also don't want to get in the way."
-
> "Well, I mean, I'd be fine to stick around and socialize. But I also don't want to get in the way."
> Kagerou nods.
>_
-
> Fidget slightly.
> "So...Which would you prefer?"
-
> Fidget slightly.
> "So...Which would you prefer?"
> "I think it might be better to talk to Hime after a bit..."
>_
-
> Nod.
> "I can leave you two alone, then."
-
> Nod.
> "I can leave you two alone, then."
> "Okay. Thanks Sei-... you two."
>_
-
> "Of course. Best of luck to the two of you."
> Give a small wave, then head back outside and into the main/original house.
-
> "Of course. Best of luck to the two of you."
> Give a small wave, then head back outside and into the main/original house.
> You depart back to the original house.
>_
-
> Head into the bedroom, looking for three kiddos.
-
> Head into the bedroom, looking for three kiddos.
> You head in, finding the three. Raiko's still asleep.
>_
-
> Look to the other two kiddos.
> Take on a quiet tone of voice.
> "She must've really done a number on herself last night, huh?"
-
> Look to the other two kiddos.
> Take on a quiet tone of voice.
> "She must've really done a number on herself last night, huh?"
> "We guess so..."
>_
-
> "I'm leaving the two of them to be alone for a bit...do either of you happen to know where Reimu went?"
-
> "I'm leaving the two of them to be alone for a bit...do either of you happen to know where Reimu went?"
> Both shrug.
>_
-
> "Damn. Oh well, I'm sure she didn't just vanish."
> "Anyway, I figured out how to safely and easily do the thing that caused the problem last night, so there's one more reason why it won't happen again."
-
> "Damn. Oh well, I'm sure she didn't just vanish."
> "Anyway, I figured out how to safely and easily do the thing that caused the problem last night, so there's one more reason why it won't happen again."
> "Why- You promised you weren't gonna do that thing again!"
> "What if you exploded!?"
>_
-
> "I didn't do it again. I figured out a different way to do it, once that doesn't use the mallet at all."
-
> "I didn't do it again. I figured out a different way to do it, once that doesn't use the mallet at all."
> "But still."
>_
-
> "Don't worry, I get it. I know now to make sure to exhaust all my other ideas before resorting to the mallet if I don't know for sure what's going to happen."
-
> "Don't worry, I get it. I know now to make sure to exhaust all my other ideas before resorting to the mallet if I don't know for sure what's going to happen."
> "But it was still the same thing right?"
>_
-
> "Only the desired end result. The approach was completely different."
-
> "Only the desired end result. The approach was completely different."
> "You promised..."
>_
-
> Frown a bit.
> "I think we might have missed each other on what I was promising, then."
-
> Frown a bit.
> "I think we might have missed each other on what I was promising, then."
> Both of the sisters frown.
>_
-
> "...Sorry."
-
> "...Sorry."
> "N-Nothing happened at least..." Benben says, still pretty upset.
>_
-
> Nod.
> "Like I said, I'm gonna take much safer approaches to things from now on."
-
> Nod.
> "Like I said, I'm gonna take much safer approaches to things from now on."
> "How much safer? That didn't seem much safer..."
>_
-
> "I've noticed that, every time something bad happens, it's because I misused the mallet. If I use other magic, the worst thing that happens is that it simply doesn't work. So I used other magic to make it so it's safe in there for living beings."
-

>_
-
> Nod.
-
> Nod.
> "I don't trust that still..."
>_
-
> Look down at our chest.
> "Well, it worked perfectly in this case, at least."
-
> Look down at our chest.
> "Well, it worked perfectly in this case, at least."
> "Maybe it was because you were lucky. You still shouldn't have done that..."
>_
-
> "Well, at least it won't need to be done again."
-
> "Well, at least it won't need to be done again."
> Both still seem upset.
>_
-
> Sigh.
> "Look, I'm sorry, you two. I really am. I didn't realize you wanted me to avoid doing that entirely. That's my bad."
-
> Sigh.
> "Look, I'm sorry, you two. I really am. I didn't realize you wanted me to avoid doing that entirely. That's my bad."
> "Don't do something risky like that again please."
>_
-
> Look down to the mallet, then back up.
> "No more riskiness."
-
> Look down to the mallet, then back up.
> "No more riskiness."
> Both nod.
>_
-
> "With that being said, what do you two wanna do now?"
-
> "With that being said, what do you two wanna do now?"
> "Well... Raiko's still not awake..."
>_
-
> "Right, which is why I asked."
-
> "Right, which is why I asked."
> "Um, maybe talk options for our other selves?"
>_
-
> "Sure. But let's do that somewhere where we won't wake anyone up."
-
> "Sure. But let's do that somewhere where we won't wake anyone up."
> Both nod and get up.
>_
-
> Head back outside the main house.
-
> Head back outside the main house.
> You exit, followed by the two sisters.
>_
-
> "That should do it. So what're you two thinking?"
-
> "That should do it. So what're you two thinking?"
> "That's what we were gonna do now. Think about it more."
>_
-
> How do we feel about the prospect of storing the Tsukumos?
> "Ah."
-
> How do we feel about the prospect of storing the Tsukumos?
> "Ah."
> It'd probably keep them safe if there were an attack...
>_
-
> Look down at our chest.
> Frown a bit in thought.
> "...Do you want help, or do you want somewhere reasonably private to think about it for a while?"
-
> Look down at our chest.
> Frown a bit in thought.
> "...Do you want help, or do you want somewhere reasonably private to think about it for a while?"
> Privacy would be good, and help too."
>_
-
> "Mmmmm...then, do you two..."
> Point down at our chest.
> "...Wanna try it?"
-
> "Mmmmm...then, do you two..."
> Point down at our chest.
> "...Wanna try it?"
> "Try it?"
> "You mean the storage thing?"
>_
-
> "Yeah...you'd be somewhere private, but I'd still be around to help."
-
> "Yeah...you'd be somewhere private, but I'd still be around to help."
> "Uh, okay..."
>_
-
> "A-all right...but let's do this inside. We don't need people seeing it."
> Head back inside to the money room.
-
> "A-all right...but let's do this inside. We don't need people seeing it."
> Head back inside to the money room.
> Both nod.
> You head into the money room.
> And find Reimu.
>_
-
> Oh, how fortuitous.
> What's she up to?
>> As long as she isn't taking all the money for herself or anything like that, whirl right back around, beckon for the Tsukumos to follow us, and head back to the bedroom. Hopefully Raiko is still asleep.
-

> She's examining the money. It seems like she's trying all she can to actually avoid touching any.
> You turn back around and head back to the bedroom.
> Raiko's still out.
>_
-
> Gently close the door and turn to the Tsukumos.
> "Okay, if you're ready, hold out your hands."
-
> Gently close the door and turn to the Tsukumos.
> "Okay, if you're ready, hold out your hands."
> You gently close the door.
> Both hold their hands out.
> "We... can stay dressed, right?"
>_
-
> "No reason you can't. Okay, I'm beginning."
> Take Yatsu's hand in ours, gently guide it in and down, and deposit her.
-
> "No reason you can't. Okay, I'm beginning."
> Take Yatsu's hand in ours, gently guide it in and down, and deposit her.
> You take Yatsuhashi's hand in yours and gently guide it in.
> Yatsuhashi follows quickly, but it seems safely.
> "U-Uh..." Benben hesitates.
>_
-
> "There, no problems. Now..."
> Take Benben's hand in hours, gently guide it in and down, and deposit her as well.
-
> "There, no problems. Now..."
> Take Benben's hand in hours, gently guide it in and down, and deposit her as well.
> You gently guide Benben's. She seems hesitant, but doesn't resist.
> And just like that, you finish with both.
>_
-
> How quickly did they go? Was it like they were sucked in with a lot of force, or did we have to guide their entire bodies in the whole way?
> How do we look now? Examine both our chest and our entire body, in the event we changed somehow.
> Lean our head in close and listen for the Tsukumos.
-

> Lean our head in close and listen for the Tsukumos.
> It was sort of quick. You didn't have to guide them further.
> Both are much larger. Heavier too... Your outfit doesn't seem to have handled it well.
> You try to listen, but don't hear them.
>_
-
> So the rest of our body has not changed at all, then?
> Did our outfit actually rip?
>> If so, flip our outfit from damaged to undamaged, and then flip it from not fitting to fitting.
> Exit the bedroom to leave Raiko in peace, and then search the house for an unoccupied room, ducking into the first one we find.
> Look down and keep the quiet tone of voice.
> "Hey, how is it in there? Everything okay?"

> Yes.
> You flip the outfit, twice.
> You depart and leave Raiko, and enter an empty room.
> "Uhh..." You hear Yatsuhashi.
> "What exactly..."
>_
-
> Did we hear them out loud or inside our head?
> "Huh. Well, I can hear you two, at least."
-
> Did we hear them out loud or inside our head?
> "Huh. Well, I can hear you two, at least."
> Not really out loud so much as in your outfit, muffled a bit.
> "What happened to us?"
>_
-
> Is it still possible for us to store things as we are dressed now? Or is that part of us completely covered now?
> "I stored you. I don't know what it looked like on your end, but from what I saw, I guided your hands in, and the storage effect did the rest pretty quickly."
-
> Is it still possible for us to store things as we are dressed now? Or is that part of us completely covered now?
> "I stored you. I don't know what it looked like on your end, but from what I saw, I guided your hands in, and the storage effect did the rest pretty quickly."
> Your clothing fits well over you. It doesn't give room for storage.
> "That felt kinda weird..." Yatsu says.
>_
-
> Can we loosen our top at all to allow for more storage? If so, do so.
> "What's it like in there, anyway?"
-
> Can we loosen our top at all to allow for more storage? If so, do so.
> "What's it like in there, anyway?"
> You loosen your top.
> "Kinda soft... Weird..."
>_
-
> "Soft, huh? I guess that's to be expected. Can you see each other, or, well, anything?"
-
> "Soft, huh? I guess that's to be expected. Can you see each other, or, well, anything?"

>_
-
> "Hmm. Can you try to get out?"
-
> "Hmm. Can you try to get out?"
> "I don't even know where out is..."
>_
-
> "Uh, try going up?"
-
> "Uh, try going up?"
> Silence...
> "Where's the exit?"
>_
-
> "I don't know...I've never been in there before."
-
> "I don't know...I've never been in there before."
> "We're gonna bump into each other and go blind like this..."
> "It doesn't actually feel like darkness. I mean, it doesn't feel like it's messing with my eyes from too long though."
> "We haven't been in here for too long."
>_
-
> "Well, I made sure it was safe before depositing you two, so you should be fine. ...Is the softness at least, uh, comfortable?"
-
> "Well, I made sure it was safe before depositing you two, so you should be fine. ...Is the softness at least, uh, comfortable?"
> Silence.
> "Yea. Like a bed, sorta."
>_
-
> "Mmm. Well, that's good, at least."
-
> "Mmm. Well, that's good, at least."
> "Sorta uncomfortable dark like this though..."
>_
-
> "Hmm..."
> Try flipping the storage space in our chest, where Yatsu and Benben are now, from dark to light.
-
> "Hmm..."
> Try flipping the storage space in our chest, where Yatsu and Benben are now, from dark to light.
> You try...
> "Ack! That's bright!"
> "But it doesn't really hurt either... this is really weird...
>_
-
> "Is it at least less unsettling now? I'm not sure how I could adjust the brightness, so I'm not going to try as long as you're in there."
-
> "Is it at least less unsettling now? I'm not sure how I could adjust the brightness, so I'm not going to try as long as you're in there."
> "I guess..."
>_
-
> "Good. ...Hey, let me know if you feel this..."
> Jump in place once.
-
> "Good. ...Hey, let me know if you feel this..."
> Jump in place once.
> You jump.
> "Did you move a bit?"
>_
-
> How did that feel?
> "Yeah."
-
> How did that feel?
> "Yeah."
> Your chest kept moving just a bit. Your clothes didn't really allow it to do a lot.
> "It felt like that then."
>_
-
> Close the door to the room, if we haven't already.
> Then remove our top, and jump in place once again. Redress once this is done.
> "How about that?"
-
> Close the door to the room, if we haven't already.
> Then remove our top, and jump in place once again.
> "How about that?"
> You remove your top, then jump again.
> "Ah."
> "That was definitely a lot more moving..."
>_
-
> How did that feel for us?
> "Did it feel like anything other than moving?"
-
> How did that feel for us?
> "Did it feel like anything other than moving?"
> Really pleasant... You could get used to this...
> "What do you mean?"
>_
-
> "Well, obviously I could feel the movement, but, well, I could *feel* the movement, if you know what I mean."
-
> "Well, obviously I could feel the movement, but, well, I could *feel* the movement, if you know what I mean."
> "I don't think I do."
> You don't believe either of the two could really feel the sensation you had now before in their life...
>_
-
> "Then don't worry about it. So, given what we know and done so far, what do you two think?"
-
> "Then don't worry about it. So, given what we know and done so far, what do you two think?"
> "I think this is okay..."
> "Yea. It's nice. Soft..."
>_
-
> "So you want to stay there for a while, then?"
-
> "So you want to stay there for a while, then?"
> "We could, yea."
>_
-
> "It's up to you. I'm fine with it."
-
> "It's up to you. I'm fine with it."
> "Mhm."
>_
-
> "All right, then. I'm gonna continue my business for a bit, then, and check to see how Reimu's doing. You two can keep thinking about what you might want in your doubles."
-
> "All right, then. I'm gonna continue my business for a bit, then, and check to see how Reimu's doing. You two can keep thinking about what you might want in your doubles."
> "Uh huh."
>_
-
> Head out of the room and back into the money room.
-
> Head out of the room and back into the money room.
> You return to the money room.
> Reimu glares daggers at you as you enter. That, or you're just seeing things, as she seems normal a moment afterwards.
> "Uh, hey, again."
>_
-
> Look slightly taken aback.
> "Uh, hey. Are you okay?"
-
> Look slightly taken aback.
> "Uh, hey. Are you okay?"
> "Yea. Did things go fine?"
>_
-
> "They did, yeah. And, uh, sorry about what happened this morning."
-
> "They did, yeah. And, uh, sorry about what happened this morning."
> "It's fine."
>_
-
> "All right. It *was* pretty enjoyable, honestly."
-
> "All right. It *was* pretty enjoyable, honestly."
> "Huh?"
>_
-
> "The perfect fusion with you. It was..."
> Smile just a tad.
> "...Nice."
-
> "The perfect fusion with you. It was..."
> Smile just a tad.
> "...Nice."
> "It wasn't bad, yea... Haven't gotten to talking to Sanae about it yet... I'm sure she wouldn't fuss about it happening again..."
>_
-
> "I hope not. I even wonder if all of us could do that together. You, me, and Gasanae."
-
> "I hope not. I even wonder if all of us could do that together. You, me, and Gasanae."
> "We probably could..."
>_
-
> "That'd be pretty great if we could."
> "So, what did you come in here for, anyway? Just curious."
-
> "That'd be pretty great if we could."
> "So, what did you come in here for, anyway? Just curious."
> "Er... Look at the money. You know..."
> "Oh she was looking alright." You hear Benben.
>_
-
> Nudge our chest a bit from the side. Hopefully Reimu didn't hear that...
> "Well, you're welcome to look at it all you want. I mean, it's there for the betterment of all of us."

-

> Quests
Quests:
> Uprising: You still possess the will to overturn society. Tsukumogami and fairies have acknowledged you in support. The strong shall lose their power and the weak will unify the world! The main thing you've got to do is keep their support and work with them, as well as build up more allies. Raiko has expressed that she wants you to consider a different, similar goal though...
> CHEATER (Ongoing): Your ability is capable of flipping someone's ability into it's opposite existence, making it a physical item that allows one to use another's ability. You've considered creating more cheat items, but to do that, you need to find more people... (This quest is ongoing, and as such, completion is impossible.)
> Tranquil Furi: One specific fairy now under your command had taken the interest of that other Daiyousei. You'd like to find out what piqued her interest, and exactly why that fairy was so special to her...
> Unassigned: You currently do not have any other quests assigned. Please suggest one, and it will be noted down.

>_
-
> Shrug.
> "It's up to you. Uh...I will say it's convenient having so many people around that I'd like to talk to at any given moment, while also allowing them to relax. It's pretty comfortable in there, they tell me. But I certainly won't make you do it."

-

-
> Sigh.
> "Well, whatever. We did at least get her back."

>_
-
> Pat again.
> "Yatsu and Benben are in here because it's a nice, easy way to dwell on what properties they want their doubles to have, while being able to relax and have me bring them around with me for chatting and stuff. I haven't made Yatsu 2 or remade Benben 2 yet. I haven't remade your double yet, either, since I don't know what you would want her to be like."

>_
-
> "Sure, I can do that. That doesn't have to be the only change, though, of course."
-
> "Sure, I can do that. That doesn't have to be the only change, though, of course."
> Raiko nods.
> "Keep that in mind. Maybe I'll have others. Though, can't you just make them and alter them afterwards? Either remaking or otherwise?"
>_
-

-

-

-

-

> You scan the area...
> You could turn your body and reach Reimu over the bed that way. Your chest wouldn't be in the way of much either. You'd still have to be careful.

-
> Oh, that's a good idea!
> But first, is Reimu using a blanket?
>> If so, wish on the mallet to create six more blankets just like it. (This should be safe, since we did a similar with to create twenty money sacks yesterday evening.)
