Yuyuko Quest - Perfect Cherry Blossom

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile brightly. "It's just as I suspected~!! I'd say you surpass her quite easily~ Now, go hide while you change into that dear, I'll keep you sister occupied until we can surprise her~ Yukari dear, I leave it to you to notify me when she's ready~"
>Let's head back to the group, and keep Remi distracted with typical chatter. "Well, that was rather illuminating, who knew that basements were that tedious? I suppose it's a good thing that my own home doesn't have one, otherwise I would die of boredom~"
>Look of realization. "Oh, wait. I'm already dead~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile brightly. "It's just as I suspected~!! I'd say you surpass her quite easily~ Now, go hide while you change into that dear, I'll keep you sister occupied until we can surprise her~ Yukari dear, I leave it to you to notify me when she's ready~"

>Flandre nods and quickly dives behind a cupboard to get changed. You see her arms moving, but that is all you can see.
>Yukari has assumed a casual seat in front of the cupboard.

>Let's head back to the group, and keep Remi distracted with typical chatter. "Well, that was rather illuminating, who knew that basements were that tedious? I suppose it's a good thing that my own home doesn't have one, otherwise I would die of boredom~"
>Look of realization. "Oh, wait. I'm already dead~"

>Remilia looks at you with a smile, "Well, you seem too much of a free spirit... besides, can't ghosts pass through walls?"
>She giggles, "Technically, I am too. Just a different kind of dead..."

>Okuu blinks, "There's more than one kind? I wonder what kind I'll be!"
>Orin yelps, "Two things!! One, you're as dense as rock! Two, you'll be waiting a long time to find out, but I'll be sure to tell you once you end up in my wheelbarrow, just be sure to remind me(!)"
>Okuu sighs, "But I'll be a corpse! Corpses can't speak!"
>Orin grins and looks away, "E~xactly.."

[Hanzo K.]

>"...You know, I don't ever recall trying to see if that was the case for me~"
>Grin. "Ah, even as children, they still go at it like that~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>"...You know, I don't ever recall trying to see if that was the case for me~"
>Grin. "Ah, even as children, they still go at it like that~"

>Remilia laughs and gestures at the wall, "No time like the present, though."

>Satori sighs, "They've always had their little tiffs. But I know they love each other, really."

[Hanzo K.]

>Fistplam. "Good idea dear~! I'll try it!"
>Let's try it! Surely even we can go through a wall!

[Nekomata-chan]

>Fistplam. "Good idea dear~! I'll try it!"
>Let's try it! Surely even we can go through a wall!

>You attempt to go through the wall.

>...You can.
>The wall you passed through leads to... the kitchen!! And where there's a kitchen... there's food. Lots of food.

[Hanzo K.]

>...As much as we like to eat, it just wouldn't be right to~
>..Ah, what the hell, let's sneak a riceball if we can find one. We've only had tea and a few light snacks, and some watermelon after all~
>After that, let's head back to the other side of the wall again. "Well, I didn't know that the kitchen was on the other side of this wall~ I'll have to visit it again sometime~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>...As much as we like to eat, it just wouldn't be right to~
>..Ah, what the hell, let's sneak a riceball if we can find one. We've only had tea and a few light snacks, and some watermelon after all~

>You sneak a riceball that you found in a small packet in one of the cupboards. It's surprisingly sweet, just like the tea.

>After that, let's head back to the other side of the wall again. "Well, I didn't know that the kitchen was on the other side of this wall~ I'll have to visit it again sometime~"

>Everyone stares as you float back through the wall.
>Remilia just chuckles to herself, "Thought you could."

>Yukari winks at you, letting you know that Flandre has finished changing. Since Flandre has never worn a kimono before, it's only natural she should have taken so long.

[Hanzo K.]

>Wink back, and give her a look that says 'Send her in then~'
>Then, wait to see Remi's reaction at seeing her 'little' sister one up her.

[Nekomata-chan]

>Wink back, and give her a look that says 'Send her in then~'
>Then, wait to see Remi's reaction at seeing her 'little' sister one up her.

>Flandre takes the signal, and slowly strolls back into the room with a small smile.
>Remilia's jaw nearly plummets straight through the floorboards as she sees her new-and-improved "little sister".
>"F-Flandre.. w-wha... wha-..." Remilia murmurs. Flandre plays it up and giggles in a lady-like manner.
>"Don't you like it~? Heehee, I knew you would react in that way~!" Flandre smiles.

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle. "And before you ask dear, it was mostly her idea~"
>"But still, isn't she positively stunning? Then again, you two do come from the same stock after all, so it's only to be expected~!"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle. "And before you ask dear, it was mostly her idea~"
>"But still, isn't she positively stunning? Then again, you two do come from the same stock after all, so it's only to be expected~!"

>Remilia just stutters, "I-... wha-... so... wha-... I... Flan-... you..."
>Flandre giggles, "Aww, lost for words~?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle. "It seems that the little sister isn't so little anymore~"
>Smile cheerily. "Do you like the Kimono dear? I hope it fits well~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle. "It seems that the little sister isn't so little anymore~"
>Smile cheerily. "Do you like the Kimono dear? I hope it fits well~"

>Flandre twirls around in it for effect, "I do love the kimono, thank you~! It fits perfectly~!"
>Remilia faceplants the table, "Showed up by my little sister... today my dignity dies a painful death..."

[Hanzo K.]

>Unfold the fan, and smile. "It's yours then. Since you like it so much~"
>"Besides, that pattern clashed too much with my hair anyhow~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Unfold the fan, and smile. "It's yours then. Since you like it so much~"
>"Besides, that pattern clashed too much with my hair anyhow~"

>Flandre looks down at the kimono, then back to you with a smile, "Thank you ever so much~!"
>She looks at your hair for a while, then grins, "Yes, but your hair is awesome. I wonder if there's a way to change my hair colour to pink..."
>Yukari grins, "I don't think they do pink permanent hair-dye in the outside world~!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "They probably don't, and you would know~!"
>"And think nothing of it dear, consider it a gift to commemorate our meeting~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile. "They probably don't, and you would know~!"
>"And think nothing of it dear, consider it a gift to commemorate our meeting~"

>Flandre smiles, "Well, thank you anyway~!"

>Satori clears her throat, "Since I can't actually tell... somehow... is this basically how you have spent your day?"
>Yukari looks innocent, "You can't read our minds? Huh~..."

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile cheerfully. "In a word, yes~"
>"Would you believe that this all started with a thought on how Sakuya, Keine, and Mokou looked as children~?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile cheerfully. "In a word, yes~"
>"Would you believe that this all started with a thought on how Sakuya, Keine, and Mokou looked as children~?"

>Satori shrugs, "I guess one thing always leads to another."

>Keine all of a sudden sits up straight, looking a little flustered, "Wait!! What day is it? What time is it?"
>Mokou chuckles into her hand, "Sudden realisation that you're late for class?"
>Keine scratches the back of her head, "Possibly."

[Hanzo K.]

>...Kid!Keine teaching class....
>"....So adorable~♪"

[Nekomata-chan]

>...Kid!Keine teaching class....
>"....So adorable~♪"

>Satori blinks, thinking for a while, "I think it's around early afternoon."
>Keine sighs in relief, "Ah, phew! Classes end around now, it wouldn't be worth going now."

[Hanzo K.]

>Mock pout. "Awwww..~ I was looking forward to seeing how things would go if you went to teach them in your current state~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Mock pout. "Awwww..~ I was looking forward to seeing how things would go if you went to teach them in your current state~"

>Keine giggles, "Well, I'm sure some of my students may lose respect for me... in my current state. Besides, they may not believe that I AM WHAT I AM, I DON'T WANT PRAISE, I DON'T WANT PITY~ that I am who I say I am. I'm not entirely recognisable, am I?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "Parhaps, but perhaps not~ That force of presence is rather unmistakable dear~"
>Turn to Youmu. "Dear, would you fetch the myon-print kimono?"
>Once she departs, look at Yukari with a look that says 'When she gets back, let's give dear little Youmu a reward for being so loyal~ I think it's time that she enjoy being the older one for a change~'

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile. "Perhaps, but perhaps not~ That force of presence is rather unmistakable dear~"

>Mokou laughs, "Yeah, but those kids are cute. It'd be funny to see Keine tryin' to teach them all now!"

>Turn to Youmu. "Dear, would you fetch the myon-print kimono?"
>Once she departs, look at Yukari with a look that says 'When she gets back, let's give dear little Youmu a reward for being so loyal~ I think it's time that she enjoy being the older one for a change~'

>Youmu excuses herself once again, then dashes off to fetch the kimono you requested.
>Yukari winks at you, "This ought to be good."

>Koishi stops fiddling with her hair, "So, what's it like being in the Netherworld? Is it like a sort of above-ground version of down here? With all the spirits dancing about, and not many people besides?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Smirk, and look to Yukari. "Indeed~"
>Then turn to Koishi and nod. "Essentially, yes. There's a lot of cherry trees all over, and it's Youmu's job to keep them all in proper condition~"
>Srsfaice. "But there's one tree that nobody goes near, short of myself. It's sealed though, so it's still mostly safe but..."
>Back to cheerfully smiling. "And silly little me once tried unsealing it to see whose body was sealing it~ But who knew that it was my own~? Well, Yukari knew, but that's beside the point~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smirk, and look to Yukari. "Indeed~"
>Then turn to Koishi and nod. "Essentially, yes. There's a lot of cherry trees all over, and it's Youmu's job to keep them all in proper condition~"

>Koishi looks at the door through which Youmu had just went through, "She seems nice. Quite short though."
>Satori blinks, "Koishi! A person's stature doesn't matter!"
>Koishi frowns, "Yeah, but she is!"

>Srsfaice. "But there's one tree that nobody goes near, short of myself. It's sealed though, so it's still mostly safe but..."
>Back to cheerfully smiling. "And silly little me once tried unsealing it to see whose body was sealing it~ But who knew that it was my own~? Well, Yukari knew, but that's beside the point~"

>Koishi listens intently, and once you're done she speaks up, "That's similar to the nuclear thingy down here! Nobody really goes near it except Okuu and Orin, and not to mention there was that thing a year or so ago in which Okuu lost it a little bit. Then Orin sent all the spirits up above ground to lure down some youkai to sort Okuu out!!"
>Okuu stares at Koishi, "Wait, that was what happened?!"
>Orin faceplants the table, "For goodness' sake, Okuu, I've told you before!!"
>The hell-raven stares at Orin, "You have?! When?!"
>Orin lifts up a hand, counting on her fingers, "Last night, three weeks ago, about eight months before that, not to mention when the incident itself happened, and about two months ago, too. Ya' birdbrain."

>Youmu returns with the myon-print kimono, "I'm back."

[Hanzo K.]

>Clap our hands together with a smile and a nod. "Good~! You'll be needing it~!"
>Give Yukari the signal.

[Nekomata-chan]

>Clap our hands together with a smile and a nod. "Good~! You'll be needing it~!"
>Give Yukari the signal.

>Youmu blinks, but then her face goes straight as she sees Yukari's expression, "Ah."

>Yukari winks at Youmu, and the transformation begins.
>Youmu's hair grows down to reach her waist, and grows a little darker in colour. Her eyes become a bit brighter and more sleek-looking, too. She becomes only a little taller, but her bust grows a considerable amount too.
>She blinks at Yukari, "Okay... how did I know that was going to happen?"
