Sakuya's Quest ~ Sakuya's Bizarre Adventure

[Yonowaaru]

>"Are you really proposing to leave the mansion, and the little mistress, entirely in the care of Meiling and your familiar?"

>"I hadn't actually thought of it like that, but.. I really need to get out for a while. Whether this is caused by the Desires, I do not know, but I just have to..." Patchouli answers
>She scrapes her throat, and says:"We will have to get someone to take care of the mansion for a while.. I don't trust the gateguard enough to leave her alone with Meiling and Koakuma.. I have some magic barriers placed around the mansion, but like the ones I have placed around the basement, they only keep those away who wish to go through them, so it wouldn't really work well against accidental wanderers. It would work against Marisa, though.."

[Hello Purvis]

>"And who would you trust, exactly?"

[Yonowaaru]

>"And who would you trust, exactly?"

>"That is a good question.. I really don't know a lot of people, but I suppose Reimu could do it..." Patchouli answers

[Hello Purvis]

>Do we have faith that Reimu could look over the mansion without messing everything up? Or setting Flandre on a tirade?

[Yonowaaru]

>Do we have faith that Reimu could look over the mansion without messing everything up? Or setting Flandre on a tirade?

>Reimu would at least be less destructive than Flandre would. As for Flandre tirading... Well, let's just say she's more of the physical type of fighter as opposed to the verbal kind.


>Parser's note: I sure hope I interpreted the word 'tirade' in the right way here. All translations I could find gave me a meaning of something along the lines of an endless preaching, which is more Shikieiki's style..

[Hello Purvis]

Purvis note: You speak english too well. I keep forgetting. Tirade as throwing a tantrum.

>"Hm. I suppose she would do. I guess it wouldn't be hard to lure her here. How do you propose to suggest it without arousing her suspicions that something is awry."

>Parser's note: No, that was actually the Dutch translation of the word. The word tirade in English also exists in Dutch in the very same way, as it is actually French."
>"Well.. It wouldn't be very subtle, but I could release some of the scarlet mist around here and leave a message with Koakuma for when she arrives.."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Mmm, I think the potential for misunderstanding is much too high. Once the rabbit is dealt with, send your familiar to invite her to stay to watch over our household while we help tend to personal affairs."
>"Speaking of such, there is a doll running around that I need to deal with. Please make your preparations in the meantime."

>"Speaking of such, there is a doll running around that I need to deal with. Please make your preparations in the meantime."

>"That would also work. I will send for her once I've heard a hundredth scream. That should be a good benchmark."
>"I will start gathering some seals and spellcards. I've created some new spellcards I'd like to test out."

[Hello Purvis]

>Leave Patchouli, and find medicine again.

[Yonowaaru]

>Leave Patchouli, and find medicine again.

>You leave Patchouli to her preparations, and then wonder why you would be looking for some medicine and walk back into the kitchen and through the door through which you saw Medicine leave. It leads outside to a small balcony. When you look down, you see Medicine flying around, along with Cirno and the Three Fairies. They seem to be playing happily. Cirno is freezing the grass while Medicine is spreading poison, and the both seem to cancel eachtother out.

[Hello Purvis]

>Are they properly outside of the grounds?

[Yonowaaru]

>Are they properly outside of the grounds?

>They are playing a short distance behind the wall, next to a small river.

[Hello Purvis]

>Keep her in sight, and go see the gatekeeper.

[Yonowaaru]

>Keep her in sight, and go see the gatekeeper.

>You keep your eye on the children, but they don't seem to be doing anything special. You walk towards the room where Sara is staying.
>She sees you as you approach, and greets you.

[Hello Purvis]

>The other gatekeeper, I meant.

[Yonowaaru]

>The other gatekeeper, I meant.

Parser's note: DURR~
 
>You reverse time in order to revert your mistake, and instead visit Meiling, who is walking around in the yard, trying to seem like she's guarding but not really doing anything.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Meiling. Were you aware that a rabbit youkai and a living doll managed to get into the mansion recently?"

[Yonowaaru]

>"Meiling. Were you aware that a rabbit youkai and a living doll managed to get into the mansion recently?"

>"Yees?"
>Meiling stops in her tracks and sprints towards you.
>"Yes, they both passed the gate... The rabbit told me she had come to visit Remilia, so I gave her a room. The doll was following the rabbit, but she seemed a little bit tired or something.. That's a pretty odd couple, isn't it?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"The rabbit tricked the doll into mildly poisoning our other guest. Please be more discreet in the future."

[Yonowaaru]

>"The rabbit tricked the doll into mildly poisoning our other guest. Please be more discreet in the future."

>"Y-you're kidding, right? Ehehehehe..."
>Meiling falls to her knees, and beggingly says: "Sorry, Sakuya! It won't happen again! Never! I won't let anyone in anymore without your permission.."

[Hello Purvis]

>Nod.
>"I would suggest, if the come claiming to visit someone, that you check with that person first. Assuming we've not already said to expect them. Should they not be here, it is fine to tell the visitor to return later if we've not specifically invited them."

[Yonowaaru]

>Nod.
>"I would suggest, if the come claiming to visit someone, that you check with that person first. Assuming we've not already said to expect them. Should they not be here, it is fine to tell the visitor to return later if we've not specifically invited them."

>You nod, and calmly give her another suggestion.
>Meiling stands up, salutes by putting her hand at her head, and says:"Yes, madam!"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Good. We'll overlook this for now, since we're a little understaffed at the moment. But please be more mindful. Oh, as for the rabbit, she was given to the Little Mistress for awhile. I imagine she'll be very eager to leave afterward. Be sure to facilitate that."

>"U-understood! Also..."
>Meiling looks you in the eyes, in a somewhat nervous way.
>"It might be a weird idea, but perhaps we could recruit some more guards or fairies? It would help prevent these sort of things, right?"

[Hello Purvis]

>How much do the current operating expenses run the mansion, in terms of wages, food, and so on? Do we actually bring in any money?

[Yonowaaru]

>How much do the current operating expenses run the mansion, in terms of wages, food, and so on? Do we actually bring in any money?

>You do not actually have a lot money. You live on a large supply of food and by the time that is not eatable anymore, the fairies usually have produced a similar amount. You keep them fed and give them a home, and in turn they cultivate all sorts of edible plants, rice and vegetables, and of course, tea leaves. The garden at the back of the mansion doesn't seem very big, but it is partially underground and therefor often overlooked.
Any meat or furniture in the house was provided by the humans of the Human Village or bought at Kourindou. You've done the odd job cleaning someone's house like you clean the Scarlet Devil Mansion, which usually brings in about 1000 yen per hour.


Parser's note: Gensokyo's currency is in no way comparable with the actual Yen.

[Hello Purvis]

>"It would be difficult to accommodate them. I'll speak with the Young Mistress about it."

[Yonowaaru]

>"It would be difficult to accommodate them. I'll speak with the Young Mistress about it."

>"Heh, I guess it would be... We have plenty of space, but food would pose a problem.."
>Meiling smiles angstily when you mention Flandre, but nods.

[Hello Purvis]

>Flan was the Little Mistress, and Remilia the Young Mistress. Meiling even reacted to it as such before. ;_;
