>Quietly vault over the counter so we won't be suspected of eavesdropping

>Quietly vault over the counter so we won't be suspected of eavesdropping

>While you could just walk around the counter, you decide to vault over it instead.
>Fortunately for you, your enhanced strength allows you to do this without too much trouble, and you watch as Rinnosuke opens the door for a certain student carrying a large cardboard box from your school from the other side of the counter.
>The girl, who you recognize as Reimu Hakurei, notices you as she steps through the door into the main store and raises an eyebrow as she looks in your direction.
>"You actually get other customers here?"

>_

[Ps]

>"Actually, I work here. Do you need any help carrying that?"
>Is there a nametag or revealing uniform we should be wearing?
>Scan Reimu Hakurei.
>Ponder if scanning everyone we meet is actually useful.

>"Explains it. I knew Kourin over there couldn't get any other customers with a place like this. And sure, that would be great."
>"Hey, Kourin! I'm borrowing your employee!"
>Reimu holds out the box to you.
>While there is an actual uniform that you could change into at the store, Rinnosuke tends not to care about what you're wearing as long as you have the store's apron on.
>Reimu is a level ?? shrine maiden who is associated with the neutral element. Reimu has no resistances to any elements, nor any weaknesses. It will take more time to assess Reimu's level or any other elements that Reimu may or may not be associated with.
>You suppose it doesn't hurt to find out more about other people.
>For some reason though, you get the strangest feeling that someone out there is letting out a depressed sigh every time you scan someone.

>Take box.
>"Sempai. I want to ask you about something."

>Lean in as if to kiss her
>Wrap your arms around her waist
>German Suplex

[PX]

> German suplexes aren't belly-to-belly

Who said it was belly to belly? Just swing to her back :/

[Kilgamayan]

How are you gonna do that while going for a kiss?

[Ps]

Don't ask her about the ring, I have a feeling she'll be a jerk about it. Or MPK us just to add to her counter. We should finish helping her, and then ask Rinnosuke. That is, if he still has his ability, which is a gamble since everyone who doesn't play the game is a normal human. Oh, we should've scanned Rinnosuke. That's the one thing scans actually DO tell us.

Edit:
>Sorry, but scan Rinnosuke.

[O4rfish]

We're asking her about the game, right? I mean, Reimu is who we wanted to ask about the game since the beginning.

[Ps]

You're right, but the one time we appear in canon, Reimu beats us up for no reason. I'm wary of her.

>Take box.
>"Sempai. I want to ask you about something."

>You take the box out of Reimu's hands. Despite its size the box seems rather light, though you have no idea if this is due to your enhanced strength or if the contents of the box weren't very heavy to begin with.
>"Thanks. I don't live too far from here, so I shouldn't take too much of your time."
>"Hmm? What is it?"

>Lean in as if to kiss her
>Wrap your arms around her waist
>German Suplex

> German suplexes aren't belly-to-belly

>You lean in closer to Reimu, but find that the box is in your way.
>You drop the box and move in to wrap your arms around Reimu's waist.
>Surprised by you dropping the box, Reimu quickly moves one of her legs and catches the box using her leg and foot.
>"Hey, careful with that!"
>Since Reimu is off balance due to this, you take this opportunity to try to swing around her to perform a German Suplex, but find that Reimu is somehow firmly grounded despite balancing the box on one of her legs.
>"I get that I'm great, I really do, but you people have really got to stop thinking that it's okay to touch me whenever you want."
>Reimu uses her hands to peel your own off her before lifting up the box with her leg and picking it up and holding it out to you again.
>"Try not to drop it this time."

>Sorry, but scan Rinnosuke.

>Rinnosuke is a level 0 human with the neutral element. Rinnosuke has no resistances to any elements, nor any weaknesses.

>"This Touhou MMO I started playing, I heard you''ve gotten pretty far in it."

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>"This Touhou MMO I started playing, I heard you''ve gotten pretty far in it."

>"Yeah? What about it?"
>Reimu starts walking towards the store's entrance.
>"Let's walk and talk. I still have other things I need to take care of today."

>_

[O4rfish]

>Follow the red-white.
>"So, do you have any good tips for a new player?"

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Follow the red-white.
>"So, do you have any good tips for a new player?"

>You follow Reimu, who holds the door open for you, outside the store.
>Reimu begins walking down the street, and you follow.
>"If you want tips, go look up guides on the net. There are some pretty good ones out there."

>_

[O4rfish]

>"Is that what you did?"

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>"Is that what you did?"

>Reimu laughs.
>"Back when I started, nobody else even knew enough about the game to make a guide!"
>"All people would do back then was copy whatever I did!"

>_

[PX]

>"Really? Tell me more about it."

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>"Really? Tell me more about it."

>"Not much to really say about it. I was the top player, so other people tried to copy what I did. We're almost at my place by the way."
>You continue to follow Reimu through the city, passing by many buildings along the way. You note that the quality and maintenance of the buildings seems to be deteriorating as you approach wherever it is that Reimu lives.
>"I'll say this though. Me? I have fun playing Touhou. So do most of the top players. All those tryhards that just tried to copy what I did? Most of them quit pretty fast."
>"Basically, as long as you're having fun, you'll probably be fine. It is just a game, you know."

>_

[Ps]

>Glance over shoulder.
>"It's not just a game. Touhou is REAL."

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Glance over shoulder.
>"It's not just a game. Touhou is REAL."

>You take a glance over your shoulder. Nobody else seems to be around.
>Reimu stops and turns to take a look at you before sighing.
>"You wanted advice, right? Touhou is a game. End of story. That's my advice."

>_

[Ps]

>That went well. Next, ask for help with relationships.
>Wonder if Reimu doesn't know about the Rings.
>Thank Reimu for her advice and continue on to her house.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>That went well. Next, ask for help with relationships.
>Wonder if Reimu doesn't know about the Rings.
>Thank Reimu for her advice and continue on to her house.

>You have been wondering about expanding your horizons...
>Does Reimu actually know about the rings? You'd think that the top rated player would be more aware of these things. Maybe.
>"Yeah, don't worry about it. It's better if newer players like you don't get involved in this mess."
>You continue to follow Reimu until you arrive at a series of run down flats.
>You've... never really been to this part of the city before. You can hear some shouting in the distance and the streets seem to be in dire need of some cleaning and general repairs.
>"Anyway, I should be fine carrying it from here. Thanks for that... What was your name again? I don't think I caught it earlier."

[PX]

>"Sanae Kochiya. And I'll be taking your life now,"
>German suplex her
>"Kamishirasawa. Tokiko Kamishirasawa, student of Scarlet Academy."

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>"Sanae Kochiya. And I'll be taking your life now,"
>German suplex her
>"Kamishirasawa. Tokiko Kamishirasawa, student of Scarlet Academy."

>"Funny, I have a friend with the exact same name."
>"I'd like to see you try."
>You attempt to grab hold of Reimu to suplex her, but she somehow seems to be out of your reach every time you approach her.
>"Yeah, I recognize the uniform. Anyway, thanks Tokiko."
>Reimu takes the box out of your hands and walks up the stairs to one of the flats on the second floor, where she puts the box down to unlock the door, before entering the flat.

>_

[Ps]

>Memorize address

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Memorize address

>You take note of where Reimu lives and type her address into your phone. You can always use your phone's navigation feature if you need to travel to Reimu's house for whatever reason.

>_

[Ps]

>Head back to Kourindou.
>How much time until we usually meet Mystia?
>Does Rinnosuke have any magical object appraisal abilities, as far as we know?
