Maribel Hearn Quest: ACT III - Part 2

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"She is an ancient youkai of boundaries that watches over Gensokyo... she is known to be extremely powerful and influential around here."

>"Huh... I think I heard about a youkai sage that does that once. So you know that powerful youkai?"
>_

[Monarda]

>"When you have the same ability as her, you tend to draw attention."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"When you have the same ability as her, you tend to draw attention."

>"Oh, I see..."

>You feel something lightly bonk you in the back of the head.
>_

[Monarda]

>"Hold on."
>Take off our hat and pick it up.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Hold on."
>Take off our hat and pick it up.

>You take off your hat and find nothing. Of course, this was to be expected, as you were bonked in the back of the head, not the top.
>"Huh? Where did that come from?" you hear Renko ask.
>_

[Monarda]

>Look at her and pick up whatever she is looking at.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Look at her and pick up whatever she is looking at.

>You look at Renko and notice she's looking at your feet. You glance down to find... a paper airplane?
>You pick it up, it looks like its nose has been bashed in from a recent impact.
>_

[Monarda]

>"She is so lazy that she didn't even walk to the gap..."
>Take it and read whatever is written on it.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"She is so lazy that she didn't even walk to the gap..."

>"That's Yukari for you..." Marisa remarks.

>Take it and read whatever is written on it.

>You unfold the paper airplane.

Ah, you remembered. I was about to pay you a visit myself.

Anyway, it seems your power growth is mostly stable judging from what I've read, though the lack of details makes it difficult to determine how accurate that statement is. For instance, you mentioned that you start to feel fatigued after three gaps, but have you ever even tried to determine your current limit? I'd estimate you can maintain about five or six at your current level of power, of course, I cannot be certain about that unless either you tell me, or I have you demonstrate for me.

Also, it's quite surprising how you've managed to assist in resolving the incident mentioned in the paper today. Granted, you had assistance, but nonetheless I guess I must congratulate you. Though this brings me to my next point: If, for some reason, you are involved in another incident in the future, then you may not have as much assistance, or perhaps none at all. In that case, your basic danmaku is not going to cut it. I'd advise that you at least consider creating a spellcard or two, since that would greatly improve your chances of success in combat. I'm not going to force it on you just yet, though it's a precaution I implore you to consider. That is all.

Also, it is getting a bit late. I assume you're going to come back here when you feel the need to sleep? If not, then let Chen know and she'll relay the message to me.

Thank you,
             -Yukari Yakumo

PS: Also, I have to admit, you gave me quite a chuckle when you said you couldn't access the so called "eye space." You've always been able to access it ever since you've learned to create gaps. Of course, it's obvious that you still need to figure out how to do it.

[Monarda]

>"Wow..."
>Show them the letter.
>"Talk about a unusual letter..."

[Neovereign]

>"She writes quick..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Wow..."
>Show them the letter.
>"Talk about a unusual letter..."

>You consider showing them the letter, though, since these letters are meant to be a private communication between yourself and Yukari, showing them off could possibly be seen as a breach of privacy if she ever found out. Do you continue?

>"Huh? How so?" Renko asks.

>"She writes quick..."

//Writers have no sense of time scale, you yourself should know this Mini. Considering how fast/slow days pass in your quest.
>"Really? That's why?"
>"I mean, it's been more than a couple of minutes since you wrote that up, hasn't it?" Rin asks.
>_

[Neovereign]

>Shrug and return the letter to our hat.
>I wonder how to state that a letter has been 'Read'. Since, if you just write 'Read', it could be interpreted as "Read this!" or "This has been Read!"

[Monarda]

>"Yep..."
>Don't show it, yeah.
>"And also because of how many details she put in, along with the fact she actually complimented me."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Shrug and return the letter to our hat.
>I wonder how to state that a letter has been 'Read'. Since, if you just write 'Read', it could be interpreted as "Read this!" or "This has been Read!"

>You drop the letter back in your hat.
>It's simple, paint the letter red because "red" rhymes with "read" and not "read", so that way they know that if it's red it's red!

>"Yep..."
>Don't show it, yeah.
>"And also because of how many details she put in, along with the fact she actually complimented me."

>"She did?" Renko asks.
>_

[Monarda]

>"Yeah, 'Also, it's quite surprising how you've managed to assist in resolving the incident mentioned in the paper today. Granted, you had assistance, but nonetheless I guess I must congratulate you.'. Seems like a compliment to me."
>Smile a bit.

[Neovereign]

//That's still quoting from the private messages Yukari's sending us, but it's your choice..

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Yeah, 'Also, it's quite surprising how you've managed to assist in resolving the incident mentioned in the paper today. Granted, you had assistance, but nonetheless I guess I must congratulate you.'. Seems like a compliment to me."
>Smile a bit.

>"Yeah, it certainly does." Renko smiles as well.
>The sun is beginning to fall below the horizon.
>_

[Monarda]

>"Okay ! Let's get going !"
>Ready up and have our group head through the cave gap, then follow Rin's lead.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Okay ! Let's get going !"
>Ready up and have our group head through the cave gap, then follow Rin's lead.

>"Goodbye." says Alice.
>You create a gap leading back to the cave, then head through with your group.
>_

[Monarda]

>"You take the lead Rin."
>Follow !

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"You take the lead Rin."
>Follow !

>Rin nods, before attempting to take to the air. She seems a bit shaky at first, but she soon stabilizes.
>Rengeteki tries to fly as well, only to promptly faceplant.
>"Rengy!" Rin suddenly turns around.
>"I-I'm fine." Rengeteki says as she gets up, "I guess I'm a bit rusty from not using my wings for so long..."
>_

[Monarda]

>"Rengeteki !"
>Help her up.
>"Take it easy dear, you have just recovered after years of lack of use, you need to take it slowly, like a rehabilitation program okay ?"

[Neovereign]

//We should probably stick to calling her by her complete name. Sure we helped massively in getting the two together, but the two are closer to each other than we are with Rengeteki.

[Monarda]

//Well i started calling her that because she admitted that we do have a sisterly relationship going on, plus it's easier to type and feel nice.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Rengeteki !"
>Help her up.
>"Take it easy dear, you have just recovered after years of lack of use, you need to take it slowly, like a rehabilitation program okay ?"

>She is already up.
>"Like a what?" Rengeteki gives you a confused look.
>_

[Monarda]

>"A program where they help people that were severely hurt on their arms or legs to recover their movement, your case is similar."
>Look worried.
>"Okay now, let's take it slowly, try using your wings again, but just to hover a bit."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"A program where they help people that were severely hurt on their arms or legs to recover their movement, your case is similar."
>Look worried.
>"Okay now, let's take it slowly, try using your wings again, but just to hover a bit."

>Rengeteki nods before lightly flapping her wings, after a bit of fumbling, she eventually manages to hover about a foot off the ground.
>_

[Monarda]

>"See ? That's the way !"
>Smile.
>"Now try slowly going forwards, they turning around and coming back."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"See ? That's the way !"
>Smile.
>"Now try slowly going forwards, they turning around and coming back."

>Rengeteki nods, before attempting to do so. She seems quite wobbly, but she manages to do it.
