[COMPLETE] Rumia Quest VI; Cont: Reaching for the Sky

[Hanzo K.]

>Stare at Rika with a sort of amused, sly expression. "I'm not even going to say it~"

[Raikaria]

>Stare at Rika with a sort of amused, sly expression. "I'm not even going to say it~"

> Rika looks flustered. "You-you didn't put it there did you?"

[Hanzo K.]

>"Don't look at me, I'm not an Oni."
>Pause.
>"Although, if you squint reeeeeeeaaaaally hard, I guess you could mistake a Mini-Suika for a Mini-Me."

[Raikaria]

>"Don't look at me, I'm not an Oni."
>Pause.
>"Although, if you squint reeeeeeeaaaaally hard, I guess you could mistake a Mini-Suika for a Mini-Me."

> "That doesn't mean you didn't put the mini Oni in my pocket." Rika pouts.

[Hanzo K.]

>"I was a little busy focusing on the Enkura thing to do something like that."
>Grin, and nudge her a few times. "I just wanted to get a rise out of you by implying that I did."
>Look to Maribel and Renko. "I have one more question though, you guys able to handle really spicy- Oh yeah, they might not be able to handle that one, huh Rika?"

[Raikaria]

>Look to Maribel and Renko. "I have one more question though, you guys able to handle really spicy- Oh yeah, they might not be able to handle that one, huh Rika?"

> "I hardly have the energy to give a rise, to be honest." Rika says. "I need to go to my new base and recharge..."

> "No human could withstand that without losing their sense of taste."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Guess it's a Youkai-Only dish then, huh? Maybe Tenshi would want to try it sometime though, she seems to enjoy stuff like that going by the beating we handed out. I think it's safe to say you can head back home now though, so take it easy and get some rest. After a brawl like that, especially after getting rid of the Other Me, you definitely deserve it."
>Look to Suika, Maribel, and Renko. "Well, you guys ready to go? It's not flying on your own, but I bet Suika can simulate it with her Minis."

[Raikaria]

>Look to Suika, Maribel, and Renko. "Well, you guys ready to go? It's not flying on your own, but I bet Suika can simulate it with her Minis."

> "Yeah... I need to recharge." Rika says, before she starts flying of, noticeably slower than usual.

> "Actually, I was thinking they could fly themselves. You know what my power is, after all. If I make their density low enough, they'll float of their own accord!" Sukia says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Raise an eyebrow. "I dunno Suika, you sure it'll work safely? I mean, we don't want to risk too much with them."

[Raikaria]

>Raise an eyebrow. "I dunno Suika, you sure it'll work safely? I mean, we don't want to risk too much with them."

> "Maybe your density experiments are better done two inches off the ground instead of a thousand feet." Renko says.

> Sukia thinks.

> Yeeeeah I guess so. Humans are squishy and I'm drunk."

[Hanzo K.]

>Try not to laugh.
>...Oh who are we kidding, she's always good for a laugh! "Hahaha! Suika, when are you ever not drunk?"

[Raikaria]

>Try not to laugh.
>...Oh who are we kidding, she's always good for a laugh! "Hahaha! Suika, when are you ever not drunk?"

> "The day I'm not an Oni anymore!" Sukia says.

> "That's my point..." Renko says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Heh, that's Suika for you. "Drinking until the last, eh? That's just like you Suika. You should be able to help with a little squad of Minis though, just like how you got them up here to begin with."

[Raikaria]

>Heh, that's Suika for you. "Drinking until the last, eh? That's just like you Suika. You should be able to help with a little squad of Minis though, just like how you got them up here to begin with."

> Sukia turns into two half-sized Sukias.

> "For flight it's easier like this." she says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"That works."
>Look to Renko with a slight smile. "Think you won't freak out this time? Because here we go."
>Let's wait for Suika to get set and pick up Renko and Maribel, and get going for the Mansion!

[Raikaria]

>"That works."
>Look to Renko with a slight smile. "Think you won't freak out this time? Because here we go."
>Let's wait for Suika to get set and pick up Renko and Maribel, and get going for the Mansion!

> "She doesn't have a choice~" Sukia says, picking her up, along with Maribel.

> You and Sukia fly with your cargo towards the Scarlet Mansion. Sanae follows, and starts chatting with Maribel and Renko as you fly along about various outside world questions.

[Hanzo K.]

>Raise an eyebrow, and listen in as we fly. It's not every day we get to find out about this sort of thing after all.

[Raikaria]

>Raise an eyebrow, and listen in as we fly. It's not every day we get to find out about this sort of thing after all.

> You hear loads of terms you have never heard of before. 'Television', 'computer', 'internet'. You also hear of a few things you do understand, like apparently a Tsunami hit Japan and did a lot of damage some time after Sanae left.

> You arrive at the Scarlet Mansion.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Here we are, the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Don't worry about the imposing-sounding name, the folks here are pretty okay sorts."
>Let's land and go find out how things are doing from Hong if she's at the gate like usual.

[Raikaria]

>"Here we are, the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Don't worry about the imposing-sounding name, the folks here are pretty okay sorts."
>Let's land and go find out how things are doing from Hong if she's at the gate like usual.

> Neither Maribel or Renko respond.

> You go and talk to China. Except she's sleeping. So you wake her up, and then ask her how everything is doing.

> "Everything's fine. No more shades. Wait. Who are you carrying. And who's those humans? Why are you even bringing humans here? You know m'lady makes meals out of them..." Meiling says.

[Hanzo K.]

>She must still be out of it. "Don't worry about them, she knows the agreement of The Big Five. Besides, you guys already have plenty of food in stock as it is, I brought these guys because this is the best place to be keeping this kook until we can fix her craziness too, so the Enkura business is just about resolved, this is just the final hurdle. And they're important to this as it is to begin with." Gesture towards Enkura as we mention her.
>"That, and I think those two back there could benefit from seeing what's to be found here too. I have a feeling that they might find some interesting things in Patchouli's library, so they should meet her. She might be able to help with this matter as well."

> "Yes, the agreement if if someone causes an incident, the others group up to stop them. That has nothing to do with her sucking blood of humans to sate her thirst, especially since she needs to do so." Meiling says. "For their own safety, I can't let the humans in."

> "As for the other one, well, I guess we could stuff her in the basement. I'd have to notify Sakuya and Patchouli to reinforce the seals, of course."

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Worked up an appetite knocking down Shades did she? Turns out, those weren't genuine Shades, just Memory Copies created by Enkura."
>Indicate Enkura. "In other words, this nutjob. I figured, the best place to keep someone with all the power she's got is a place designed to contain someone who can destroy anything. Once we've got things arranged, I'm gonna see about doing for her what we did for Flandre. I can try to help reinforce too if it's needed, though I'm not sure how good I'll be with that."
>Look to Suika. "Mind keeping an eye on those two for me while I take care of this?"

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Also, something tells me Remilia wouldn't mess with these two. Mari's only half-human, anyways. The youkai was her mother, by the way. Yukari Yakumo. Maybe you've heard of her."

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "Worked up an appetite knocking down Shades did she? Turns out, those weren't genuine Shades, just Memory Copies created by Enkura."

>Look to Suika. "Mind keeping an eye on those two for me while I take care of this?"

> "Yes, calling forth Gungir over and over left her feeling somewhat drained." Meiling says.


> "I got no problem." Suika says.

> "Don't forget me." Sanae adds.

>"Also, something tells me Remilia wouldn't mess with these two. Mari's only half-human, anyways. The youkai was her mother, by the way. Yukari Yakumo. Maybe you've heard of her."

> "OK, so the one who looks like Yukari might be safe, but what about the black-white?"

[Darkoda]

>"Good point."
>Let Maribel and Renko stay outside, no real need to tempt fate.
>Head on with Enkura ill we find someone.

[Raikaria]

>"Good point."
>Let Maribel and Renko stay outside, no real need to tempt fate.
>Head on with Enkura ill we find someone.

> "Wait, I had a point? That's something I don't hear often. Along with 'Good job Meiling'." Meiling says, as you go past.

> You consider the irony about thinking it's better not to tempt fate when Remilia is involved.

> You head inside, and Patchouli is floating past, towards the basement. As she goes past you, she says 'This way, Sakuya already told me.'

> Koakuma and Daiyousei follow Patchouli.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Well, then, let's us follow her as well.
>...Wait, when did Sakuya know what we wanted to do?

[Raikaria]

>Well, then, let's us follow her as well.
>...Wait, when did Sakuya know what we wanted to do?

> You follow Patchouli and her assistants.

> You assume Sakuya used her timehax powers when she noticed someone at the gate.

> Patchouli and the others, includeing you, arrive at the door to the basement of the Scarlet Mansion. Patchouli begins chanting, and some seals glow. Different chants make different seals glow.

> "What are you waiting for, she's unconscious, stuff her in there." Patchouli says.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Do so.
