[b][i][u]Location: Spring Zone - Streets[/u][/i][/b] [i]All the attacks hit Doremy on sight, without any chance to escape. She was defeated.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/hjNYxtd.png[/img] Doremy: I can't believe this... [img]https://i.imgur.com/k34FJHT.png[/img] Reimu: Then you should believe. [i]As they finished the fight, Kaito appeared, trying to catch his breath. The fight wasn't exactly that far from the school but his anxiousness tired him.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/71kyvRy.png[/img] Kaito: Haaah... haaah... [img]https://i.imgur.com/tlJBsK0.png[/img] Reimu: Oh, more people are coming. Kaito: I ran here as fast as I could... I need to know where you took my friend. [img]https://i.imgur.com/JoJ10Ma.png[/img] Reimu: Oh, the kid? Well... [i]Reimu's explanation was interrupted with Doremy getting back on her feet. The seal Reimu used earlier had lost its strength so she was able to fly again.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/p62Upqv.png[/img] Reimu: Are you still up for more? [img]https://i.imgur.com/VcQVKL2.png[/img] Doremy: Ugh, no, my plans were all ruined. I thought I'd savor a lot of dreams today but that child got in the way and then you appeared. And here I thought this town was free and unknown territory.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/v0dypAV.png[/img] Reimu: Dream-eater? You mean... that boy? [img]https://i.imgur.com/49VCMDa.png[/img] Doremy: Of course. That boy is a half-human, half-demon. His powers include the control and manipulation of nightmares, though we do classify as Familiar-types and Aura-types. He falls on the first category, just like me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/I9hWzlP.png[/img] Doremy: But I'm still impressed... he managed to summon one of the Forbidden Nightmares. Which is why I wonder... with that much power, how can he go against his own kin? [img]https://i.imgur.com/DmDfGDU.png[/img] Reimu: Forbidden Nightmare? [img]https://i.imgur.com/io8BiNv.png[/img] Kaito: Don't lump Lucent with the likes of you! He would never do such horrible things! [img]https://i.imgur.com/sJjPSJT.png[/img] Doremy: That's not how I felt when I fought him. [img]https://i.imgur.com/mp5WEtL.png[/img] Kaito: ... [img]https://i.imgur.com/88JlFAs.png[/img] Reimu: Whether he would or not, he did his best to stop you. So as this kid said, don't lump him with you. [img]https://i.imgur.com/fH3l57Y.png[/img] Doremy: I know that now. But I must inform you that I'm not the only one who wants to devour the dreams of humans. [img]https://i.imgur.com/hAOawIJ.png[/img] Doremy: All Nightmares want to come and savor all sorts of hopes from humans. Sooner or later, the concept of dreaming will cease to exist and only terror will pass by through human minds. [img]https://i.imgur.com/MIg8AJP.png[/img] Kaito: What?! [img]https://i.imgur.com/UZ1UIX7.png[/img] Doremy: I'm rather tired, so I'll go off now. Please send my regards to that child. [img]https://i.imgur.com/VKUQ9wE.png[/img] Kaito: Hey, hold it right there!! [i]But Doremy opened a portal and disappeared, leaving them with that warning.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/8KsCmst.png[/img] Reimu: And off she goes... [img]https://i.imgur.com/ftWVEyg.png[/img] Reimu: I wonder what she meant with that... the concept of dreaming will cease to exist...? [b][i][u]Location: Hakurei Shrine - Xaizor and Marina's Room[/u][/i][/b] [b][i]BGM:[/i][/b] [url=http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19040479]Coffee & Milk[/url] [i]Lucent managed to open his eyes at last, seeing that he was somewhere else.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/qsihRDH.png[/img] Lucent: (Huh...? Where is this place?) [img]https://i.imgur.com/J7ltPu2.png[/img] Cookie: *enters* Oh, you're awake. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vK3uHoL.png[/img] Lucent: You... helped me? [img]https://i.imgur.com/IAxCOYo.png[/img] Cookie: Yes, I brought you here to rest. I thought you'd stay off for a long while, but you recovered faster than I'd expect. [img]https://i.imgur.com/y3Ms0By.png[/img] Lucent: I see... w-well, thank you, s-sir. [img]https://i.imgur.com/6qrv7BB.png[/img] Cookie: No need for thanks. I was just doing what it had to be done. [i]While carrying a tray, he gave Lucent a cup of coffee.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/agd9Niv.png[/img] Cookie: Here, drink some coffee. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Aupzp9a.png[/img] Lucent: O-Oh, t-thanks. *drinks a sip* [img]https://i.imgur.com/NodlO6Q.png[/img] Cookie: It isn't too sweet, is it? I don't like bitter coffee, so... [img]https://i.imgur.com/dBTj77y.png[/img] Lucent: It's... bitter for me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/YNj0xUD.png[/img] Cookie: Do you want more sugar then? [img]https://i.imgur.com/vK3uHoL.png[/img] Lucent: N-No, it's fine. I-I really need to go... [i]While getting up, Lucent felt a sharp pain which made him unable to get up.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Kub07aL.png[/img] Lucent: Oww... [img]https://i.imgur.com/WxLPfOv.png[/img] Cookie: You're in no condition to go anywhere now. Settle down and rest so your wounds can heal. Lucent: B-But I need to go to school... and I left my bag behind... [img]https://i.imgur.com/agd9Niv.png[/img] Cookie: I'll see that my friend gets your bag. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vK3uHoL.png[/img] Lucent: W-Wait. There's something inside that it... it needs to be given to my friends. [img]https://i.imgur.com/IAxCOYo.png[/img] Cookie: And what is that? Lucent: C-C-Chocolate t-truffles... t-that I m-made... [img]https://i.imgur.com/eoMko9y.png[/img] Cookie: I'll warn her then. Just rest, OK? [i]Lucent nods as Cookie leaves the room in order to call Reimu and inform her that Lucent got up but still needs to rest because of his wounds. Leaving the tray behind, he picked some sugar cubes to put in his coffee so it wouldn't be bitter.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/gjuIKoT.png[/img] Lucent: I guess five cubes would be enough... should I put a sixth?
