Sanae Quest (Part 4)

[日巫子]

> "Do you work here? Is there someone named Monoe here?"

> "Yes, this is my place!"  The girl absentmindedly douses the plants with water.  "Um, Monoe's not here right now, I think she went to the library...or was it the pawn shop?"

> _

[Sect]

> "Oh, okay. My name is Sanae, I'm from the Moriya Shrine. Are you... Charlotte?"

[日巫子]

> "Oh, okay. My name is Sanae, I'm from the Moriya Shrine. Are you... Charlotte?"

> "You're from the shrine atop the mountain?"  She seems to perk up a little.  "Yes, yes, I'm Charlotte."

> _

[Sect]

> "So, are you guys open right now? What kinds of stuff do you make here? Has Monoe been a good worker? Have you met her sister yet? Is business good around here? How do you like it in the village? Have you ever been to the shrine? How was your visit? How do you feel about the tengu or the kappa or the other youkai? How did you get your hair that color? Have you seen a girl with teal hair and a purple umbrella running around?"

> "Uhhh, uh...We open at 10:30am, we have candy and other desserts...Today's Monoe's first day...she has a sister?  We do okay.  I-it's nice here.  Which shrine are you talking about?  I don't know, um, tengu and kappa aren't so bad...?  My hair's n-naturally this color, and I think I saw someone like that at the coffee shop...?"
> She seems overwhelmed by all the questions, and accidentally overwaters one of the plants.  "Oops..."

> _

[Sect]

> "Ah, I'm sorry! I got a little carried away..."
> Does the plant look like it'll be fine?
> "Thank you for speaking with me, and I'm sorry about overwhelming you. Take care!"
> Head into the coffee shop!
> ... Then get our wings unstuck in the doorway.

> "Uh, it's fine..."
> The plant looks like it'll be fine, the soil's just really wet.
> "Okay..."  Charlotte waves as you head for the coffee shop.
> When you make for the coffee shop's entrance, you promptly get your wings stuck in the doorway.  Maybe you should shrink them or something...?

> _

[Sect]

> Shrink them down to cute little wings, like what Mystia had, and enter.

[日巫子]

> Shrink them down to cute little wings, like what Mystia had, and enter.

> You shrink your wings down to how big the lamprey girl's wings were, and enter.
> The coffee shop is not very full, although you suspect more people will arrive as the morning progresses.  it's just some nekomata and an oni, but other than the attendant at the counter that's itkyahhhhh someone just grabbed your wiiings!

> _

[Sect]

> "Kya~! Let go let go!"
> Try to shake them off our wings, and see who's doing that!
> How did it feel, having our wings grabbed?

[日巫子]

> "Kya~! Let go let go!"
> Try to shake them off our wings, and see who's doing that!
> How did it feel, having our wings grabbed?

> You try shaking off whoever's grabbing your wings, and you hear them stumble back and fall over.  Upon turning around, you see a figure obscured by an all-too-familiar purple umbrella...Kogasa?
> It kind of tickles, somehow.

> _

[Sect]

> "Kogasa? Ha, you really surprised me there!"
> Pick her up off the ground.

[日巫子]

> "Kogasa? Ha, you really surprised me there!"
> Pick her up off the ground.

> Kogasa grins.  "Really?!"
> When you help Kogasa off the ground, you notice that she's wearing clothing you'd see in the Outside World: a short-sleeved white blouse, a blue skirt, and a few hair clips.

> _

[Yonowaaru]

>"Yeah, I knew you'd be here somewhere, but.. Hey, did you go to the warehouse already? Those aren't your usual clothes, are they?"

[日巫子]

>"Yeah, I knew you'd be here somewhere, but.. Hey, did you go to the warehouse already? Those aren't your usual clothes, are they?"

> "Huh?"  Kogasa blinks.  "I've always had these clothes."

> _

[Sect]

> Kogasa must not realize she's in a dream... we'll talk to her in the morning, see if she remembers!
> "Still, don't pull on my wings next time, they're sensitive!"
> Hug the heck out of Kogasa!

[日巫子]

> Kogasa must not realize she's in a dream... we'll talk to her in the morning, see if she remembers!
> "Still, don't pull on my wings next time, they're sensitive!"
> Hug the heck out of Kogasa!

> She must not realize she's dreaming...so she's not lucid?  You'll ask her about it in the morning.
> "Hehheh~~"  Kogasa giggles and returns the hug.

[Sect]

> "So, what're you doing in here? You're not a coffee drinker, are you?"
> Take another look around.

[日巫子]

> "So, what're you doing in here? You're not a coffee drinker, are you?"
> Take another look around.

> "I came here after surprising people.  They actually sell tea here, too..."
> You take another look around.  It's a cozy-looking place, come to think of it.  There's a small lounge in the back, even.

> _

[Sect]

> "Tea, huh? Well, how about we get something to drink, and you can tell me all about what you've been doing?"
> Do we order at the counter, or will someone take orders?

[日巫子]

> "Tea, huh? Well, how about we get something to drink, and you can tell me all about what you've been doing?"
> Do we order at the counter, or will someone take orders?

> "Okay~"
> It looks like you can just order at the counter.

> _

[Sect]

> Go up to the counter, and look at their menu.
> "Hey, Koga, anything you want?"
> Ooh, check inventory, first. Be a bit embarrassing if we don't have the correct currency...

[Sect]

> Expand our wings to flight mode, and wrap one of the wings around Kogasa.

> "So, what did you do today?"
> Nibble on one of the cookies.

> You expand your wings and wrap one of them around Kogasa.  As you eat, you ask Kogasa what she did today.
> "Well, I went out into town and scared a ton of people," she says with a tinge of pride.  "Then I went flying around to see if there was anyone in the different shrines that I could scare.  After that, I came back to the town and went to the temple to meditate, and then I came here."

> _

[Sect]

> "Did you see anyone interesting? Like five armed girls, or beeping music teachers?"
> Sip on our tea. Does this sound like Kogasa's usual activity, including the meditation bit?
> "What about yesterday, before you went to sleep? Do you remember what you did then?"

> "What about yesterday, before you went to sleep? Do you remember what you did then?"

> "No...I didn't see anyone like that."
> This is pretty much what Kogasa usually does, although she doesn't meditate very often.  Ohh, this tea is good.
> "Nothing special, really.  I just went around to the different shrines looking for people to surprise again."
