[b][i][u]Location: Spring Zone - Hakurei Shrine[/u][/i][/b] [b][i]BGM:[/i][/b] [i]Disquiet[/i] still playing [img]https://i.imgur.com/NofSAMm.png[/img] Azrel: That's confidential. [img]https://i.imgur.com/B8IozwH.png[/img] Reimu: Maybe my amulets have something to say about that. [img]https://i.imgur.com/6XDMQLt.png[/img] Azrel: I wouldn't attack me if I were you. I'm not here to fight you, anyway. [img]https://i.imgur.com/HGLjikU.png[/img] Alice: You're certainly forcing us to. And you know we have no intention to back out. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ngTQBQn.png[/img] Jin: Make things easier for us and just tell us who's bossing you around this time. [i]Azrel put the hand on his pocket and tookout a phone. By dialing a number, he called to Fortuno.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/wKOxGhG.png[/img] Azrel: ... It's me. What do you want me to do now? Fortuno: [i]Geez, did you pass over a black cat today? You're usually full of four-leaf clovers.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/NofSAMm.png[/img] Azrel: Just do what you need to do already. Fortuno: [i]Righto ditto! Here we go~[/i] [i]Azrel turned off the call as a beacon of light fell over him. His body started to float.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/8OuRFcP.png[/img] Marina: What is that light? [img]https://i.imgur.com/NodlO6Q.png[/img] Cookie: That light... a divine pillar?! [img]https://i.imgur.com/mnb5AdD.png[/img] Jin: He's going to escape!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZyT5Zv7.png[/img] Azrel: You'll pay for interfering, Reimu. You three as well... Alice, Jin and Cookie. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vBu3sm4.png[/img] Xaizor: Hold it up, you son of a bitch!! [i]Xaizor impusively ran towards Azrel but the divine pillar took him away before he could ever reach him.[/i] [i]*BGM fades*[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/0A4VIEH.png[/img] Xaizor: Damnit, he ran away! [img]https://i.imgur.com/88JlFAs.png[/img] Reimu: A divine pillar, huh... seems like we have something to discuss. Cookie, Jin, Alice, with me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/4CNGJSh.png[/img] Marina: W-Where are you going? [img]https://i.imgur.com/v0dypAV.png[/img] Reimu: In the forbidden room. Don't enter at any costs. [img]https://i.imgur.com/bmqMyi9.png[/img] Alice: Dinner is already in the table. Feel free to serve yourselves. [i]The four of them went back inside the shrine. In the meanwhile, Auror decided to speak about all that happened right now, as if the need to organize things rose.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Kw5zURb.png[/img] Auror: Alright then. First the shrine gets engulfed into a barrier and taken to the Nightmare Realm. Then somehow we get the information that Lucent might be the key to resolving this particular incident and lastly, we get a message that people are after Lucent... [img]https://i.imgur.com/vxiyQ0o.png[/img] Marina: Not to mention that he pointed Mister Masaru as a suspect involved with one of those parties but we do not know who it is. [img]https://i.imgur.com/I31LhXC.png[/img] Auror: This is seriously tiring me. How I'd long for a solution to fall out of the sky and save us this once... [img]https://i.imgur.com/GMj6WOT.png[/img] Xaizor: ... Hey, about Masaru... [i]Xaizor sheathed his blade and went back to the others. While Azrel kept being suspicious to them, it didn't help that he theorized with Kaito that Masaru's actions were suspicious somehow.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/52UX4We.png[/img] Xaizor: I don't know you guys, but something has been bothering me. Hey, do you guys remember the number of times he and Lucent talked before? Not counting the ones we had in these last days. [img]https://i.imgur.com/M1d5nMl.png[/img] Auror: Before that...? From my part, I didn't see that happening much. [b][i][u]Location: Kanzakai School - Entrance Gate[/u][/i][/b] [b][i]BGM:[/i][/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kaDbJYygm4]Discord (Octopath Traveler)[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/6KKBMT3.png[/img] Orie: I arrived at the third floor, worried about your situation and the explosions. Before I could get to see what was going on, she suddenly appeared and attacked me. I tried to fend her off, but I couldn't use my powers on time. [img]https://i.imgur.com/BJdv6CM.png[/img] Orie: That is when Sumireko and Fuindor came. She helped me a little but the assailant was faster than what we predicted. When I saw it, she was already aiming at Sumireko and had her pinned on the ground. [img]https://i.imgur.com/oTsumhr.png[/img] Fuindor: That's when I jumped in. I told Orie to take Sumireko somewhere safe and managed to hold her off. My plan wasn't to fully use my powers but to call you guys with my chakra and get her on the act. [img]https://i.imgur.com/YTgKA5M.png[/img] Fuindor: The brat was smarter and faster than I thought. She turned into butterflies and just flew away. Then you all came and told us to evacuate all the students. And that's all. [i]Orie thought a little about Melina. Even though it was unusual, she decided to share it.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/0hiLu8b.png[/img] Orie: She called herself... the sixth princess of the Bariura Empire. [img]https://i.imgur.com/XZAN7SN.png[/img] Fuindor: Never heard of the place. Where is that? [img]https://i.imgur.com/RMwH6tb.png[/img] Orie: I do not know. I never heard of it too. [img]https://i.imgur.com/S0N6a5V.png[/img] Fuindor: Hrrrmm... not having a clue of the place kinda ticks me off. [img]https://i.imgur.com/pDMm6Hg.png[/img] Orie: In any case, I take full responsibility for what has happened with Sumireko and Fuindor today. I apologize for not being able to contain the confusion. [img]https://i.imgur.com/2PbGt0F.png[/img] Fuindor: Hey, I didn't help much either! Don't go taking it all under yourself for this!
