>"There's a few things we have to explain all around when we finally get to Yukari again..."

[Monarda]

>"Um, yea Chen, i can do it too, there is a lot we have to tell, but... let's wait okay ?"
>Beckon them and head inside the gap.... wait.
>"Ehhh... what about Sumireko's clothes ? I mean their fusion or merging body's clothes ? They got ripled with the wings, is it  okay ?"

>"There's a few things we have to explain all around when we finally get to Yukari again..."

>"Um, yea Chen, i can do it too, there is a lot we have to tell, but... let's wait okay ?"
>Beckon them and head inside the gap.... wait.

>"Okay."
>You start beckoning them towards the gap, but stop midway.

>"Ehhh... what about Sumireko's clothes ? I mean their fusion or merging body's clothes ? They got ripled with the wings, is it  okay ?"

>"Well, I think we should be fine, the tear is under my cape anyway..." Sumireko replies
>"What about that hole in the front of your shirt where Merry hit you with a laser?" Renko asks.
>"Huh?" Sumireko looks down, finally noticing the hole in her clothes over the middle of her chest, "A-AAH! How long was that there!?!" she covers herself, even though very little skin was showing.
>"For a while..." Renko frowns, "I mean, it's not like it's completely exposing you... If it was one of us would've pointed it out earlier. "
>"Okay, now that I've looked at it, it isn't really that bad..." she relaxes a bit, "You had me worried there for a second..."
>_

[Monarda]

>"Yea... sorry about that too.... i didn't mean to hit you two."
>Sad face.
>"We'll get you some new clothes, and i guess we also need to make holes for the wings too."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Yea... sorry about that too.... i didn't mean to hit you two."
>Sad face.

>"It's fine..." says Sumireko.

>"We'll get you some new clothes, and i guess we also need to make holes for the wings too."

>"Well, if Matenshi doesn't mind, we can just keep the wings- Okay, nevermind... Well, at least I'm getting to experience what wings are like..." Sumireko thinks for a moment, "I wonder..."
>Sumireko attempts to flap her wings, the result is the most awkward and uncoordinated movements you've ever seen. Soon, one of the wings smacks right into Renko, sending her face-first into the ground.
>"AAAH! Sorry Renko! I didn't mean to!"
>"It's fine..." Renko starts to pick herself off the ground.
>_

[Neovereign]

>Help Renko up.
>"Ehe. So um, Eientei?"
>Point towards the gap.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Help Renko up.

>You help Renko up.
>"Thanks." She smiles.

>"Well, excuse me for not knowing how to use wings! It's not like I've had them before you know..." Sumireko frowns at empty air.

>"Ehe. So um, Eientei?"
>Point towards the gap.

>"I think we're ready when you are." says Renko.
>Chen nods.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"It's alright. Learning things just takes time. Take it easy."
>Head through the gap.

[Monarda]

>"Give her time Matenshi, you were born with them after all, nobody learns it right off the bat like that."
>Ponder a bit.
>"We could also request help from Miss Patchouli too for your case."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"It's alright. Learning things just takes time. Take it easy."

>"Give her time Matenshi, you were born with them after all, nobody learns it right off the bat like that."

>"Matenshi, will you please shut up and give me a break..." Sumireko frowns a bit more.

>Ponder a bit.
>"We could also request help from Miss Patchouli too for your case."

>You wonder if Patchouli could help Sumireko and Matenshi. Surely a powerful magician would know how to separate them, right?
>"Who?" Sumireko looks at you with a raised eyebrow.

>Head through the gap.

>You head through the gap, everyone else follows shortly.
>You are now outside Eientei.
>_

[Monarda]

>"Hey, don't be rude Sumireko, we're all friends here, and besides, you will share that merged body for a while until we can unmerge it, so please don't be like that to each other."
>What's going on ?
>"And Miss Patchouli is the magician from that Mansion by the lake."

[Serela]

Actually, since Sumireko doesn't really need to rest at Eientei, do we really need to be here? I suppose we could ask for help with her... new condition, but it's not exactly medical.

Updating them on the situation would be nice, I suppose. She did sort of break out of her room and beat up Reisen.

[Neovereign]

>Yukari mentioned already having someone searching for Sumireko. Hope our encounter isn't bad... If we meet them before Yukari wants us, that is.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Hey, don't be rude Sumireko, we're all friends here, and besides, you will share that merged body for a while until we can unmerge it, so please don't be like that to each other."

>"Yeah, you're right..." Sumireko frowns.

>What's going on ?

>There are a bunch of rabbit youkai going about their usual business, but otherwise there's nothing out of the ordinary.

>"And Miss Patchouli is the magician from that Mansion by the lake."

>"Oh." Sumireko replies, "I've never been there..."

>Yukari mentioned already having someone searching for Sumireko. Hope our encounter isn't bad... If we meet them before Yukari wants us, that is.

>You hope you don't meet whoever was searching for Sumireko, however it's likely that she sent Ran on the job, or perhaps some other person you haven't met. If she wasn't lying about the search, that is...

[Neovereign]

>"Now can I tend to the rabbits George?"
>"I think we might want to wait on Yukari's take on things before we do anything else. Hm... Renko, can you tell where Mamizou is right now?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I think we might want to wait on Yukari's take on things before we do anything else. Hm... Renko, can you tell where Mamizou is right now?"

>"Mamizou? Hmm... Let me see..." Renko looks into the night sky, you notice there seems to be a lot of cloud cover right now, "...The clouds are too thick. I can't find her without a clear view... Sorry."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"It's alright."
>Make a gap to Renko's Eientei room and see what's inside.

[Serela]

>Was Mamizou released from Eientei, or was she just awake but still having to stay there last time we talked to her?

[Monarda]

>Last time we saw her, she had something on her hand too.

[Neovereign]

//She was looking pretty dangerous and I want to avoid her until we talk to Yukari first. Same goes for Marisa thanks to Yukari hinting at Reimu. The first I want us to confront after Yukari though, is Marisa.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"It's alright."
>Make a gap to Renko's Eientei room and see what's inside.

>You make a gap to Renko's room, it seems vacant.

>Was Mamizou released from Eientei, or was she just awake but still having to stay there last time we talked to her?

>You do believe she was due to be discharged today, so it's likely she was released in the time you took to find Sumireko.

>Last time we saw her, she had something on her hand too.

>You actually don't know for sure if she was holding anything. You recall that you asked a rabbit where she was, and the rabbit said she was holding a pipe.

>"Oh, Sumireko. Before I forget." Renko reaches into her own satchel and takes out a pair of glasses, "You might want these..."
>"Oh! Thank you! I was wondering where my glasses went." Sumireko takes them and puts them on, "Ah, that's much better."
>Sumireko looks at empty air, "What? They're my glasses. I'm a little nearsighted, so without them distant objects become kinda blurry. I mean, if we're stuck like this, we'd want to at least see the world clearly, you know...? But regardless, you, not being used to them, probably think they look ridiculous on me..." she pauses, "Huh? Why thank you... You know, I think that's the first compliment you've given me since we first met..." she chuckles.

>Several nearby rabbits are staring at Sumireko like she's crazy.
>_

[Monarda]

>Smile at this sight of friendship, then turn to the rabbits.
>"Oh don't mind her, it's just that she can see a soul and is talking with that soul, it's one of her capabilities."
>Head with our group into the gap, towards the empty room.
>"Good to see you are getting along better now."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Smile at this sight of friendship, then turn to the rabbits.
>"Oh don't mind her, it's just that she can see a soul and is talking with that soul, it's one of her capabilities."

>You can't help but smile.
>The rabbits shrug, before continuing on their business.

>Head with our group into the gap, towards the empty room.

>You and your group head into the gap.
>You are now in Renko's hospital room.

>"Good to see you are getting along better now."

>"For now, at least..." Sumireko replies.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"So, while we're waiting to speak with Yukari, why don't we catch up a bit more?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"So, while we're waiting to speak with Yukari, why don't we catch up a bit more?"

>"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea." Renko nods.
>_

[Monarda]

>"So, i met some rather curious people on the mansion, and Marisa too."
>Sad frown.
>"Marisa.... she is extremely concerned with Miss Reimu, to the point she told Lady Yukari where i was hidden when the latter said she could tell her about Miss Reimu's case...."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"So, i met some rather curious people on the mansion, and Marisa too."
>Sad frown.
>"Marisa.... she is extremely concerned with Miss Reimu, to the point she told Lady Yukari where i was hidden when the latter said she could tell her about Miss Reimu's case...."

>"Marisa..." Sumireko taps her chin, "That's that witch, right? She's a pretty good fighter from what I remember."
>_

[Monarda]

>"Yea, she`s the one, there was also a lone youkai that lives in a old shack, at the forest near the Garden of the Sun, her name is Regenteki, do you know anything about her ?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Yea, she`s the one, there was also a lone youkai that lives in a old shack, at the forest near the Garden of the Sun, her name is Regenteki, do you know anything about her ?"

>"Rengeteki?" Sumireko raises an eyebrow, "No, I've never heard of anyone with that name."

>You hear a couple of voices from the hall outside the room.
>_

[Neovereign]

>Hold a finger to our mouth to quiet our group down a bit.
>Get closer to the door and try to listen.
