Chocolate Full of Feelings

Not-So-Helpful Helpers
*shatter*
Daiyousei
Eeep! S-Sorry!
What happened?!
Are you OK?!
Daiyousei
Miss PLAYER! I was in a hurry to grab the plates and ended up dropping them...
Koakuma
Forget the plates. You're not hurt, are you? C'mon, I'll help you clean this up.
Daiyousei
Sorry, I'm making your job even harder when you're already swamped.
Koakuma
Don't worry about it. We help each other, remember?
Koakuma
Besides...
Besides what?
Rumia
*drool*
Rumia
Heyyy, can I eat that?
Rin
N-No! Stop! That's for making chocolate!
Rumia
But there's tons of it! One teeny bite can't hurt!
Rin
No means no. If you eat it, we can't make chocolate.
Rin
And this magic chocolate everyone keeps talking about does sound ridiculously good.
Rin
So just behave until it's done.
Rin
Huh, where'd she go?
Rumia
Oopsie...
Rin
Argh! I look away for one second!
Cirno
Ughhhh...
Cirno
This isn't something I should be doing!
Cirno
Why do I have to clean this huge hallway anyway?!
Cirno
That's it! I'm just gonna do it again!
Cirno
Peeeeeerfect FREEEEEEZ―
Shinmyoumaru
Knock it off, Cirno!
Cirno
Eeek! When did you get here?!
Shinmyoumaru
You JUST got yelled at! Clean properly, or you'll get in trouble again!
Cirno
Yeah, but...
Cirno
Oh, I know what I can use!
Cirno
I think I gotta open this bag... and scream into it!
Cirno
I...
Cirno
LOVE FREEZING THINGS SOLID!
Cirno
Whew... OK, I feel much better now.
Shinmyoumaru
I see you're putting it to good use.
Shinmyoumaru
That's the bag of feels, isn't it?
Cirno
Yep! Now let me freeze the whole hallway, and it'll be sparkling clean in no time!
Shinmyoumaru
I said no!
You guys sure are busy...
(Not sure if that actually counts as helping.)
Koakuma
Yeah, so let's quickly clean up and move to the next task.
Daiyousei
G-Got it!
...I hope this goes well.
Cirno
But freezing would definitely be faster!
Cirno
Kasen, help me out!
Kasen?
*sigh*
Kasen?
(They're so noisy.)
Kasen?
(Why do I have to deal with this nonsense?)
Cirno
Kaaaseeen! Hurry uuup!
Kasen?
(I even got dragged into doing all this work.)
Cirno
KAAASEEEN!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Hold your horses, I'll be right there.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(This day just keeps getting worse.)
Choco Chase Squad Assembles
One day, at Cirno's place...
Cirno
Heehee! Thanks for coming, my super strong buddies!
Cirno
PLAYER!
Here!
Present!
Cirno
Dai!
Daiyousei
P-Present!
Cirno
Rumia!
Rumia
Yeaaaah!
Cirno
Good! Everyone's here. Time for today's strategy meeting!
So, what are we playing today?
Cirno
Today's gonna be packed with a hundred flavors of chaos!
Daiyousei
A hundred flavors?! That's sensory overload waiting to happen!
Cirno
Don't sweat the specifics! The point is―I heard a WILD rumor!
What did you hear?
What was it about?
Cirno
I knew you'd be curious. Get ready, this'll shock you. It was something like...
Cirno
Umm... what was it again?
Rumia
Did you forget?
Cirno
N-No! I didn't forget! I'm just trying to recall it properly, OK?!
Cirno
OK, I remember now! So here's how it goes...
Cirno
Apparently, they're making magic chocolate tonight at the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
Cirno
Whoever eats it gets ultimate happiness and the power to fulfill their wishes.
Cirno
Plus something about how it makes you buff, smart, and rich!
Cirno
Basically, you become, like, SUPER strong!
Magic chocolate, huh...
That's some impressive chocolate.
Daiyousei
That's awesome, Cirno! That chocolate sounds like it's straight out of a dream or something!
Rumia
Yummy! I'm starving! Gimme some!
Cirno
I knew it. My friends have great taste!
Cirno
And I'm no different! I wanna try that super chocolate too!
Cirno
I hereby form the Choco Chase Squad!
Cirno
Let's hunt it down and eat that legendary chocolate!
Everyone
Yeah!
Yeah!
Rumia
So, where's this magic chocolate at?
Daiyousei
If the rumor's true, they're making it at the Scarlet Devil Mansion!
Daiyousei
But the mansion's huge. Where would they even make it?
Cirno
Good question, Dai! Here's the plan!
Cirno
First, we sneak in through the front gate.
That's the opposite of being sneaky!
We'd get caught instantly!
Cirno
Relax, the gatekeeper's always asleep. We won't get caught.
Cirno
Once we're in, we split up and search for the magic chocolate!
Cirno
Wow, I'm a genius! This plan is flawless!
Daiyousei
But... what if we get caught while we're searching?
Rumia
We'll just deal with it if that happens!
Cirno
Rumia gets it!
Cirno
If we get caught, we muscle through it!
Daiyousei
(...Better make sure that doesn't happen.)
Cirno
All right! No point standing around!
Cirno
Choco Chase Squad, move out!
Hungry Fairies Showdown
Rumia
Yummy yummy, sweet and neat, that magic chocolate treat!
Daiyousei
Tralala, wishes come true with every bite you chew!
Cirno
Shalala, we're the Choco Chase Squad!
That's such a catchy song!
Tralala!
Daiyousei
Hehe, Rumia's song is making me hungry.
Cirno
Oh, wait. I just remembered something.
What now?
Cirno
It's nothing bad.
Daiyousei
Well, then tell us.
Cirno
One of the wishes that the chocolate grants is...
Daiyousei
Is what?
Cirno
It makes your bond stronger with someone you care about or something.
Daiyousei
Aww, that's so nice!
Cirno
But we're already super close! We don't need that one.
Stronger bonds are never a bad thing!
Rumia
Yeah! Fun stuff is always good!
Cirno
True! We can be super-duper best friends!
Passerby Fairy
Oh, hey, it's Cirno! Where are you guys off to?
Cirno
Yo! We're headed to the Scarlet Devil Mansion!
Curious Fairy
The mansion? What for?
Rumia
We're on the hunt for magic chocolate!
Starving Fairy
Magic chocolate?! Oooh, that sounds awesome!
Cirno
Right?! I found out about it! And if we sneak in, I bet we won't get caught.
Cirno
So yeah, don't get in the way, OK?
Passerby Fairy
Aww... we wanna eat it too.
Curious Fairy
Take us with you!
Cirno
Hmm... could be useful to have more of us...
Daiyousei
But won't we get spotted right away?
Whoa! Where did all these fairies come from?!
Too many to count!
Fairies
We wanna eat chocolate too!
Rumia
Whoa, this is getting out of hand.
Cirno
We're gonna get caught in like, half a second!
Cirno
Nope! Forget it! Only the Choco Chase Squad goes!
Starving Fairy
No fair! First come, first served!
Cirno
I said no, so NO!
Passerby Fairy
Hmph! Fine then...
Curious Fairy
We'll settle this with a battle!
Starving Fairy
If we win, you take us with you!
Cirno
No way! Just the Choco Chase Squad will do!
Passerby Fairy
Aww... we lost...
Cirno
Heh! Told you I'm the STRONGEST!
Curious Fairy
I wanted that magic chocolate sooo bad...
...
We'll tell you what it was like once we try it.
If there's lots, we'll bring some back!
Choice Selected: "We'll tell you what it was like once we try it."
Daiyousei
Yeah, prepare for a full flavor breakdown.
Continue onto main branch.
Choice Selected: "If there's lots, we'll bring some back!"
Rumia
Yesss! Magic chocolate party!
Main Branch
Starving Fairy
You PROMISE-promise?
Cirno
Yeah, I swear we'll find that magic chocolate―for all of us!
Fairies
Good luck! We'll be waiting!
Reluctant New Member
Cirno
Well, that was almost an embarrassing start.
Daiyousei
It's OK, Cirno. Once we cross the lake, we're basically there.
Rumia
Yeah! C'mon, let's hurry up and find the magic chocolate!
Let's do our best for everyone who couldn't come!
If we stick together, we've got this!
Cirno
Yeah, you're right. I'm the leader, so I gotta act like one! I almost acted like a weakling there.
Cirno
Still, it would've been way cooler if the whole gang could've come!
Cirno
The more, the merrier!
Daiyousei
True, but also, too many cooks spoil the chocolate...
We could squeeze in one more.
Daiyousei
Yeah, one more couldn't hurt.
Rumia
Should we look for someone to join us?
Cirno
Hm, but if we go look now, we'll arrive late at the mansion...
Daiyousei
Let's just pick someone up if we see them on the way.
Cirno
Pfft, like someone's gonna just pop up outta nowhere―
Rumia
What about that person over there?
Cirno
Who?
Daiyousei
That person walking over there...
(That's...)
Cirno
YO, it's Kasen!
Huh?
Rumia
Didn't think we'd run into Kasen out here!
Daiyousei
Yeah! She's usually with Miss Reimu or hanging around the village. What's she doing out here?
(She really does look exactly like Kasen!)
(That's not Kasen!)
Cirno
We should get her to join! I bet she can help!
Rumia
I say yes!
Rumia
She's like, a hermit, right? She's gotta be super strong!
Daiyousei
I'd feel a lot safer if Miss Kasen came with us.
Cirno
No time to waste! Gotta go invite her!
H-Hold on!
Cirno
What is it? She'll leave if we don't hurry!
That's not―
Daiyousei
...Wait, where's Rumia?
Huh?
Rumia
Hey! Come eat magic chocolate with us!
Kasen?
And who exactly are you?
(Too late...!)
Rumia
It's reeaally yummy chocolate! I bet you wanna try it!
Cirno
No fair, Rumia! I wanted to invite her!
Cirno
Anyway, I now declare Kasen a new member of the Choco Chase Squad.
Kasen?
...I don't understand a single thing you're saying.
Kasen?
Forget that. Who even are you people?
Daiyousei
Please, Miss Kasen. Will you come with us to the Scarlet Devil Mansion?
Kasen?
This is going nowhere.
Kasen?
Wait, who's that over there?
Kasen?
Hey, PLAYER. I see you. Stop hiding and get over here.
U-Uh-oh...
Kasen?
Psst, what's this about? Get those delusional fairies outta my face!
Um...
The thing is...
Cirno
Hey! What are you whispering over there without your squad leader?
...So yeah, that's what's going on.
Kasen?
OK, I understand the situation now.
Kasen?
But that doesn't mean I'll tag along.
Cirno
What?! Why not?! We invited you and everything!
Rumia
You don't like chocolate?
Kasen?
That's irrelevant. This whole thing is just too much trouble.
Cirno
Kasen's kinda grumpy today.
Daiyousei
Maybe she's just got stuff to do?
Kasen?
For the last time―NO.
Rumia
Pleeeease!
Kasen?
Great. It's like talking to a rock.
Kasen?
Fine then.
Cirno
Yay! So you're coming?!
Kasen?
Of course not. If I can't talk you down, I'll just have to bash some sense into you instead!
Kasen?
Get outta my face, or I'll bite your heads off. Your call.
Rumia
Yay! Battle of bullets!
Cirno
You're on! And if we win, you work for me!
Kasen?
(Even with PLAYER here, they're still just puny fairies.)
Kasen?
(A light swat should be enough.)
Kasen?
Tsk...
Cirno
Woohoo! We won!
Kasen?
(OK, maybe I underestimated them a little.)
Cirno
You remember our deal, right?
Kasen?
Huh?
Cirno
You're officially part of the Choco Chase Squad!
Playing Along
Cirno
All right, Kasen! A deal's a deal! You're coming with us!
Cirno
No backing out now, got it?!
Cirno
I won, so that's how it goes!
Cirno
You're part of the squad now!
Cirno
Let me do the honors... Welcome to the Choco Chase Squad!
Cirno
Hehe... nailed it.
Rumia
You're helping us look for chocolate now!
Kasen?
*sigh* Fine. Just this once.
Daiyousei
Yay!
You good?
Um...
Kasen?
I've got plenty to say to you, but that can wait.
Kasen?
A deal's a deal. I'll keep my word.
Kasen?
But only until we reach the mansion.
Kasen?
It's been pretty chaotic over there, so I've been avoiding it.
Cirno
Woohoo! We got another member!
Isn't the Scarlet Devil Mansion always chaotic, though?
They get a lot of visitors.
Kasen?
That's normal? It seemed noisier than usual.
Daiyousei
Was it that bad?!
Kasen?
Maybe noisy isn't the right word...
Kasen?
What's that?
Kasen?
I swung by the Scarlet Devil Mansion 'cause I was bored.
Kasen?
There was this sweet smell, creepy magic, and maids running around like headless chickens.
Kasen?
Clearly, something sketchy was going on.
Kasen?
I noped right outta there.
Kasen?
...That's everything I saw.
Kasen?
It did smell a lot like candy or something.
Kasen?
Trust me. If we go now, it's gonna get messy.
Kasen?
After all that, you still want this magic chocolate thing?
Rumia
Yeah! I'm starving!
Cirno
And backing out now would be super boring.
Kasen?
All right, fine.
Kasen?
I feel like I'm babysitting children.
Kasen?
But whatever. I haven't seen her around lately, so it should be fine.
Daiyousei
I'm glad you're coming, Miss Kasen. You did seem busy at first.
Daiyousei
Something felt... off about you.
Cirno
Who cares! What matters is that Kasen works for me now!
Kasen?
Let me make this clear. I'm NOT Kasen!
Rumia
No way you're someone else! When we called out to you earlier...
Rumia
You were humming all happily!
Kasen?
Huh?
Cirno
Yeah! Dai, you're just overthinking it.
Cirno
Her face lit up when we mentioned chocolate!
Cirno
Only the real Kasen gets that excited about snacks!
Kasen?
Wha―?!
Rumia
What do you have to say to that?
Kasen?
Hrrm...
Kasen?
Never mind.
Cirno
It's even more fun now that Kasen's here! Let's rest a bit before we go storm the mansion!
Daiyousei & Rumia
Yeah!
Kasen?
PLAYER...
Yes?
Kasen?
At least you know who I really am, right?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm?
Miss Kasen? *wink*
Choice Selected: "Ibaraki-Douji's Arm?"
Kasen?
Of course... You're the only one who gets it.
Continue onto main branch.
Choice Selected: "Miss Kasen? *wink*"
Kasen?
...Don't test me.
Main Branch
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
What are you staring at?
Well... you don't normally look like that.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
It's not like I'm sealed away the whole time.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
But those fairies don't know who I actually am.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Apparently, they know Kasen and how much she likes sweets.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
So now they just assume I'm her.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
And they won't listen to a word I say.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Though I've realized this situation works to my advantage.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I just need you to play along for now. You can do that, yes?
Yeah, OK.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Don't worry. We won't need to keep this act up too long.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I'm counting on you, PLAYER.
Operation: Charm and Confuse
Daiyousei
Hey, Cirno.
Cirno
What's up, Dai?
Daiyousei
You said earlier that the gatekeeper would be asleep...
Meiling
Thanks, Youmu! You're a huge help. With you around, no one's sneaking past us!
Youmu
That's kind of you to say. Though not a single thing has happened.
Meiling
By the way, you take care of Hakugyokurou's garden, right? That place is huge! How do you manage?
Youmu
Oh, that's easy. I just trim everything neatly with these swords, and...
Meiling
Wow... Youmu, that's impressive... *snore*
Youmu
Hey! Don't doze off on me!
Wow, they've got two gatekeepers today.
They look distracted, but they seem pretty tough.
Rumia
Sneaking in's gonna be hard.
Cirno
Argh! Why does it have to be like this?!
Daiyousei
Plus, there are way more maids on guard duty today!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Tight security suggests they must have something to hide.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Probably the magic chocolate you're all after.
Daiyousei
That does make sense!
Cirno
See? Good thing we brought Kasen along!
Rumia
Yeah! She knows what she's doing!
So... how exactly do we get inside?
Cirno
Leave this to me, your leader!
Cirno
I've got a super special plan!
Meiling
Hey! Who's over there―Oh, Cirno?!
Cirno
We do what we did with Kasen and show them what we're made of!
Youmu
Absolutely no one is getting past us!
Youmu
You don't give up, do you? Just go home already!
Rumia
Aaaahhh!
Daiyousei
Nooooo!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
The maids aren't strong, but there's just so many of them.
Cirno
Aww, come on! This wasn't the plan!
Guys!
(If only there was a way to slip inside...)
Rumia
*sob* I just wanna eat magic chocolate!
Meiling
...Wait. Did you say chocolate?
Meiling
Don't tell me you're...
(Oh, no!)
She figured out why we're here!
Meiling
Everyone, stop! Looks like they're the new helpers!
Cirno
Helpers?
Hey, Cirno...
Is this a part of your plan too?
Cirno
Nope, I have no idea what's happening.
Youmu
Oh, you're helpers? Sorry for attacking you all of a sudden.
Rumia
What's going on here?
Daiyousei
I'm as lost as you are.
But...
Youmu
We're really short on hands, so thanks for coming.
Meiling
Go on, I bet they're waiting for you inside.
Let's just play along.
That'll get us inside!
Everyone
...Got it!
Cirno
Y-Yeah! Of course we're here to help out!
Cirno
W-We totally weren't trying to sneak in!
Rumia
Yep yep!
Meiling
Thanks! Once you're in, look for Koakuma. She'll let you know what to do.
Youmu
We appreciate your help.
Daiyousei
G-Got it!
Cirno
Wait, Kasen! Where do you think you're going?!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
What do you mean? I kept my word. I told you I'd only come this far.
Meiling
It'd be great if you could stay, Miss Hermit. You'd be a huge help.
Cirno
She's right! Plus, you work for me today, remember?! C'mon, let's go!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Stop pulling me! PLAYER, seriously, let go!
We're already here, so let's just work together!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Why are you on their side?! L-Let me go!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Hey! Knock it off, you pesky fairies!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
...!
Youmu
...Huh?
Meiling
Something wrong, Youmu?
Youmu
I don't know, maybe I'm just remembering wrong.
Youmu
I could've sworn Miss Kasen's already inside.
Meiling
Really?
Youmu
I can't say for sure... maybe I'm just imagining it.
Meiling
I'm sure that's it. It's not like there are two Miss Hermits.
Youmu
Fair enough!
Maid to Make Magic
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(And I ended up coming along.)
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(This is bad. Something's not right...)
That went surprisingly well!
Now let's go find that magic chocolate!
Cirno
Good work, PLAYER. Your leader approves!
Cirno
Being helpers wasn't part of the plan, though... Ugh, so annoying.
Rumia
I wonder what they'll make us do.
Cirno
We'll just finish everything quick!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(These pesky fairies are always a handful.)
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(I keep getting dragged into things whenever PLAYER's around.)
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(Damn it. I should've just faked getting lost and escaped.)
Daiyousei
Um, Miss Kasen? Are you alright? You look... tense.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
...It's nothing. Don't worry about me. Just go keep an eye on those brats.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Out of that bunch, you seem like the most sensible one.
Daiyousei
Look! Over there!
Koakuma
Well, if it isn't PLAYER! Are you here to help?
Yeah!
Sure am!
Koakuma
Wonderful! Are ALL of you here to help?
Cirno
Yeah! You can count on us!
Koakuma
Great! Now, go ahead and change into these outfits.
Koakuma
Wouldn't want your clothes getting dirty.
You guys look great!
Maid outfits are super cute!
Daiyousei
It looks really good on you too!
Cirno
Heh, I can make any outfit look good!
Rumia
Look at all the frills!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
This thing is impossible to move in.
Koakuma
Looks like everything fits perfectly! OK, you're all set.
Koakuma
You met Miss Meiling and Miss Youmu at the gate, right? Did they tell you about what you'll be doing!
No, not really.
Koakuma
Geez... I told them to explain everything before sending people in.
Rumia
Chocolate! Give me chocolate now!
Koakuma
No chocolate yet. It's still being made.
Rumia
Whaaat?!
Koakuma
Why so surprised? Aren't you here to help MAKE the chocolate?
Rumia's just hungry!
Of course, we're here to help!
Daiyousei
Yeah, we're helpers!
Koakuma
OK, first, let me get you up to speed.
Koakuma
We need you to help with making the chocolate and with all the chores around the mansion.
Cirno
Seriously?! We gotta do chores too?!
Koakuma
What other choice do we have? Miss Sakuya is away on other business today.
Koakuma
The maids are so busy making chocolate they can't even keep up with cleaning!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Really? It takes that much work just to make chocolate?
Koakuma
Of course. This is magic chocolate we're talking about.
Koakuma
Lady Patchouli is doing her best to grant Lady Remilia's wish... or, well, demand.
Daiyousei
What did she ask for?
Koakuma
She apparently wants to eat the most delicious chocolate in all of Gensokyo.
Koakuma
Since Miss Sakuya isn't here, Lady Patchouli is making it using alchemy.
Koakuma
And to do that, we're using these magic items.
Rumia
Is that... a bag?
Koakuma
This isn't any ordinary bag. It's a bag of feels, and it's our secret ingredient.
Rumia
No way you can eat that!
Koakuma
The bag itself doesn't go into the chocolate.
Koakuma
As the name suggests, this bag is enchanted to store feelings.
Koakuma
You simply open it and pour your feelings in by shouting.
Koakuma
In my case, I'd shout something like, "Books are the best!"
Koakuma
These emotions are added at the final step. You each get a bag.
Koakuma
Do it whenever you have free time. Just shout whatever you're feeling.
So any feeling works?
Koakuma
No. It has to be something positive.
Koakuma
And the shouting loudly part is a must.
Cirno
So all I need to do is scream "I'm the strongest!"
Koakuma
All right, that's everything. Next, I'll take you to your assigned areas!
Cirno
Hey, guys, come here for a sec.
What is it, Cirno?
Something wrong?
Cirno
I thought we were doomed, but we got inside thanks to PLAYER!
Cirno
The Choco Chase Squad is now... Choco Chores Squad! Let's do this!
Everyone
YEAH!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
*sigh*
Pantry Problems
Koakuma
All right then, let's split the tasks.
Koakuma
Cirno, Rumia, and Daiyousei will clean inside the mansion.
Koakuma
Miss Kasen and Miss PLAYER, please go to the kitchen and prepare the ingredients.
Cirno
No fair! Why can't we go with PLAYER?!
Koakuma
That would defeat the whole purpose of splitting the work!
Koakuma
It'll get hectic, but let's push through!
Rumia
I kinda wanted kitchen duty too.
Koakuma
You'd 100% snack on everything.
Koakuma
I'll guide Rumia and the others to their cleaning spots. Miss Kasen, Miss PLAYER, please go to the kitchen.
Cirno
OK, let's gooo!
Koakuma
Wait, Cirno! Don't run off on your own!
Koakuma
Sorry, you guys can go ahead with your task!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
...What chaos. I didn't think I'd be working with you.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I would've walked out of here long ago if not for you.
Sorry for dragging you into this.
I know you didn't wanna come.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Stop looking so concerned. I'm not backing out now.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
She told us to go to the kitchen, but...
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I don't know my way around. You take the lead.
OK, follow me!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I knew this place was huge, but...
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I had no idea there was such a huge space under the kitchen!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
This seems to be a pantry.
It's darker than I expected.
It's pretty chilly in here.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
If they're storing this much, a cold, dark space probably helps it keep longer.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
This place reminds me of something.
Of what?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
...That wretched place where I was sealed away.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Haha, relax. I'm not about to pull the same stunt that got me sealed away last time.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
And certainly not while I'm stuck in this ridiculous situation.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Let's just find what we need and get outta here.
???
Heeey, lady! Catch them for me!
Utsuho
They're trying to run off with the ingredients!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Not exactly what I pictured when I signed up to gather ingredients, but oh well.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Time to swat them down.
Thieves in the Pantry
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Stay close, PLAYER. I'll handle this.
G-Got it!
Rin
Hang on! We're not the bad guys here!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Then don't jump out of nowhere. I've got no problem taking you down too.
Utsuho
Fine, if you're picking a fight, I'm game!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
That should do it. And we've got the ingredients back.
Not-So-Secret Identity
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Hauling ingredients up to the kitchen from the pantry is surprisingly exhausting.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Easy there. You're just a kid. Don't try to carry too much.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Give it here. I'll take half.
Thanks.
You're so kind.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Don't get the wrong idea. It'd just be a hassle if you got hurt.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Gotta say, you've got more connections than I expected. First the fairies, now the folks here at the mansion.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Do you always stumble into this kind of trouble?
I like it!
I think it's fun!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Honestly, that reasoning suits you perfectly.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
OK, that should be the last of the ingredients on the list.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
We could head back down to the pantry or take a quick break here. Doubt anyone will notice.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Today's clearly going to be exhausting. We should conserve our energy―
???
I wanna party!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I know that voice...
Yuugi
Oh, hey! It's PLAYER!
Yuugi
And who's that with you? ...Wow, didn't expect to see you two hanging out!
Suika
Hey, PLAYER! Come join us for a bit!
Yuugi
Just sitting here, shouting into a bag is boring!
Suika
All that repetitive unpacking was already driving me nuts.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
...Why does trouble always arrive right on cue?
Oh, hey!
Miss Yuugi and Miss Suika!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Those two and I go way back.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
And oni don't lie.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I doubt we can keep it totally under wraps, but...
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
...Do me this favor.
Don't worry!
I've got this!
Yuugi
Didn't expect to see you helping out here.
This is Miss Kasen!
Suika
...What? Of course I know who she is. Long time no see, Hermit.
Yuugi
Looks like you've switched up your style.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
It has been a while...
Suika
Hm, that look in your eyes... feels oddly familiar.
Yuugi
Wait, Suika. Something's not right. Are you really Kasen?
Yuugi
Isn't she...
Y-Yeah, she's totally Miss Kasen!
Suika
You sure about that?
Suika
Hmm, I see how it is.
Yuugi
Hey, Suika, doesn't she look exactly like her?
Suika
Yeah. I know exactly who she is, but this is still weird.
Yuugi
There might be things going on that we don't know about.
Suika
Hah, yeah. This definitely smells like fun.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I figured it wouldn't be easy.
Suika
My bad. Guess I'm just tired.
Yuugi
Actually, there's an easy way to settle this.
Yuugi
If you really are Kasen Ibaraki, you'll manage just fine.
Yuugi
Come on, indulge us for a bit of fun!
Suika
Ahahaha! All right, all right, I give up!
Yuugi
That was satisfying! Battles of bullets never disappoint.
Suika
Yep, now I'm sure of it. That's "Kasen" all right.
Suika
This is fun. I'll play along and help with the act.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I knew I couldn't fool you two.
Yuugi
Don't worry. Oni don't lie, remember? And like Suika said, this sounds fun.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Tch... you're both impossible.
???
Should I leave the ingredients here? I heard they needed help...
???
Something feels off. I should go take a look.
One Kasen Too Many
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
The biggest problems are out of the way. We should be fine now.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I can't imagine anything worse happening now.
We managed to fool them somehow.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Fooled isn't quite right. We just won them over.
Utsuho
Oh, Miss Hermit! Funny running into you again! Everything going all right?
???
When did we run into each other before this...?
Utsuho
Listen to this! More thieves tried stealing ingredients. Orin and I barely chased them off!
???
That's awful! Good thing I came. They need to be dealt with immediately.
Wait!
That's...!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
What is it? You look like you've seen a monster.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
...I stand corrected! The worst is here!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Why is the real Kasen here?!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
She obviously won't buy that I'm Kasen!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I can't let her see me.
Let's hide and wait it out!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
That's the safest move for now. We need a hiding spot.
Maybe under that bench?
What about inside the oven?
Choice Selected: "Maybe under that bench?"
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Yes, that should work.
Continue onto main branch.
Choice Selected: "What about inside the oven?"
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Absolutely not. I'm an arm, not a cake.
Main Branch
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
This is bad. She's coming closer.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
It's up to you, PLAYER. Go fix it somehow.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Ow! This is way too cramped...
Kasen
Why, if it isn't PLAYER!
Kasen
Are you here to help too?
H-Hello, Kasen.
Yeah, I came to help out.
Kasen
Impressive. Helping those in need is a fine virtue.
Kasen
Did you come to the mansion by yourself?
No, I had company.
I came with Cirno and the gang.
Kasen
Ah, that explains it.
Kasen
But where are they now? Did you get separated?
No, we're doing different tasks.
Cirno and the others are on cleaning duty.
Kasen
Oh good. I was afraid you'd gotten lost.
Kasen
I know you are capable of handling things on your own, but I still worry.
Kasen
Why don't we work together for a bit?
Huh?
U-Umm...
*thud*
Kasen
Did you hear that?
(That was definitely "Miss Kasen"...)
...
Kasen
An intruder?! Or more ingredient thieves?!
An intruder?!
Ingredient thieves?!
Kasen
Utsuho and Rin mentioned that thieves have been sneaking around.
Kasen
I won't stand for thieves stealing my chocolate-to-be!
Kasen
Step back. I'll take care of the thieves.
Kasen, wait!
I'm sure it's only a mouse! I'll deal with it!
Kasen
Don't worry. I am a hermit, after all. This will be quick.
Kasen
Come out now!
Yuugi
What's this? I thought I heard a familiar voice...
Yuugi
Yo, Kasen. How's it going?
Kasen
Yuugi, Suika! What are you doing here?
Kasen
Actually, I think someone might be hiding over there.
Suika
You're just in time. We could use help carrying ingredients.
Suika
You're perfect for the job. Come give us a hand.
Yuugi
Yeah, that works. Come along!
Kasen
Wait just a second!
Yuugi
Why don't you go help with cleaning, PLAYER? There's nothing for you here.
Kasen
Let go! Quit dragging me away!
Kasen
I still have things to do! Gosh, you're ridiculously strong!
Kasen
Sorry, PLAYER! Call for me if you need help!
Did that work out somehow?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I'm surprised at how well they covered for me even without lying.
They came just to help us?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Hard to tell.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Either way, the situation's messier now.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Ideally, I'd flee right about now, but that's not an option.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I'm bound by my word to that pesky fairy.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Running now would likely make things worse.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Staying here is risky. Let's go clean like we were told to.
Frozen Chaos
Where's our Choco Chores Squad friends?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
They were supposed to be cleaning the long hallways, but this mansion is enormous. Finding them won't be easy.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
And just how many hallways does this place even have?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
If we don't have any leads, we'll be wandering around all day.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
That's odd... The floor here is frozen solid.
That's ice all right.
Looks super slippery.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Don't fall. I'm not carrying anyone.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
There was an ice fairy among them. This is probably her doing.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
That means they're not far.
Rumia
Hey! You're here!
Rumia
I'm so glad we found you!
Daiyousei
You're done with kitchen duty?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Yes, for now. But what's with the ice?
Shinmyoumaru
Stop right there!
Seija
"Run away!"
Cirno
HEEEEEEEEEEELP!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I knew it. But why freeze everything?
Cirno
Kasen! Thank goodness! Help, they won't leave me alone!
Cirno
Use your hermit powers or something and fix this!
Shinmyoumaru
Miss Hermit, perfect! Please capture Cirno!
Cirno
No way! Kasen works for me!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
*sigh* Sorry, but you'll have to back off.
Shinmyoumaru
What?! We can't have a battle of bullets in here!
Seija
Fine then. "We'll lose first and then follow orders!"
Shinmyoumaru
They beat us... But we didn't even do anything wrong!
Seija
Yeah, "we're totally the ones at fault here."
Daiyousei
Are you two OK?!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Cirno, was it? Can you honestly say you're not at fault here?
Cirno
I-I'm telling the truth!
Cirno
They told me to make it sparkle so I did...
Cirno
Cleaning is boring!
Cirno
I should be doing something cooler and more awesome!
Cirno
Ugh, this is such a pain.
Daiyousei
I'm back! I filled the bucket with wate―EEK!
Daiyousei
Oh no... I made it worse!
Rumia
I'm hungry. Think there's any candy lying around?
Daiyousei
Rumia! Don't go wandering around!
Cirno
I've got it! They said they want it sparkly clean, right...?
Cirno
Well, ice is sparkly AND clean!
Shinmyoumaru
What the?! The floor suddenly turned to ice!
Koakuma
Hey! What do you think you're doing?!
Daiyousei
Eek! The spilled water froze instantly!
Seija
You've gotta be kidding me!
Cirno
But I made it sparkle!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
This is clearly your fault!
Daiyousei
We're sorry...
Cirno
But you can't deny it's sparkly!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Enough with the excuses.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
That's it. We'll keep an eye on you so you don't cause more trouble.
I'll help with the cleaning too.
Shinmyoumaru
I'd heard rumors about a mountain hermit, and she sure lives up to her reputation.
Seija
Seriously. So responsible it's sickening. She's the epitome of "evil."
Double Trouble
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Cirno, clean the corners first. It's more efficient that way.
Cirno
You're supposed to be working for me! Why am I the one getting ordered around?!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
This is your mess, remember?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Hey, you there.
Cirno
That's Daiyousei. You can call her Dai.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Daiyousei, don't rush. Carry the bucket carefully.
Cirno
Just call her Dai!
Daiyousei
Got it! Here we go!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Rumia, stay focused. If you snack, you're done.
Rumia
Eep!
Miss Kasen's like...
Daiyousei
Like what?
She's kinda like a big sister.
She's kinda like a teacher.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Excuse me?
Daiyousei
Yeah! She's been so helpful.
Rumia
I agree! She does a ton for us!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Nonsense. How did you even come to that conclusion?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I'm not here to play nanny.
Cirno
Kasen! I'm done!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Hmm, you did well.
Cirno
Phew, finally done.
Anything else we were assigned?
Daiyousei
Um... thanks to you guys, we finished cleaning and carrying the dishes.
Daiyousei
Oh, wait! We still haven't done one thing.
Daiyousei
It slipped my mind with everything going on.
Rumia
You didn't use it yet?
Cirno
I already used mine.
Daiyousei
Nice, Cirno! But um... what do I even shout?
Rumia
I used mine too! I shouted that I want lots of yummy sweets!
Cirno
Don't overthink it, Dai. Just pick something you like!
Daiyousei
Hmm... maybe I'll say I love playing with everyone.
Cirno
Oh, that's a good one! Are we allowed to do it more than once?
Yeah, we can shout as many times as we want.
Rumia
Wanna do it together?
Cirno
I'm in! Everyone, open your bags... Ready, set!
Everyone
I love playing with everyone!
Daiyousei
Hehe... shouting it out loud is a bit embarrassing.
Daiyousei
What about you, Miss Kasen? What do you like to do?
Rumia
You're a hermit, so... training?
Cirno
Wrong! I've seen her sneak into the Human Village for food.
So what do you actually like?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I can't think of anything.
Rumia
Nothing at all?
Cirno
C'mon! Not even one thing?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I told you. None. If you want answers, ask PLAYER.
Rumia
Tell us what you like, PLAYER!
Hmm...
I guess I like...
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
...Tch!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Sorry, PLAYER. I'm gonna hide. I need you to cover for me.
Huh?
Rumia
Hey! Where're you going, Kasen?!
Kasen
PLAYER!
Kasen?!
(Where did Miss Kasen go?!)
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(Damn it. I could only make it behind the curtain.)
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(I'm out of her sight, but I really hope she doesn't notice...)
(Phew... she's safely hidden.)
Kasen
Sorry about earlier. Suika and Yuugi dragged me away.
Kasen
I took a quick look around for anything suspicious, but there was nothing. So you can relax.
Cirno
Ah! There you are!
Cirno
Don't just disappear on me! You work for me, remember?!
Cirno
Wait... didn't you run the other way? How are you back here?
Cirno
Hermits can teleport?! That's so cool!
Kasen
Why hello, Cirno. It's good to see you contributing.
Kasen
I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about, though...
Cirno
Huh?
Kasen
I was carrying ingredients from the pantry in the basement until just now.
Daiyousei
(Something's not right. Wasn't she just with us?)
Anyway!
Are you done with your tasks too?
Kasen
More or less, yes.
Kasen
You've been fidgety for a while. Is something wrong?
Kasen
You can tell me. I'll do what I can.
Rumia
You've already helped us a lot!
Kasen
What do you mean?
(What do I do?! What do I do?!)
(I can't tell her the problem is... her!)
Kasen
PLAYER?
Koakuma
Ah, there you are! You cleaned all the way back here?
Koakuma
The chocolate's almost ready! If you're free, head to the library!
Rumia
Woohoo! Chocolate!
Daiyousei
Rumia, careful! Don't run!
Cirno
Come on, Kasen! Let's go!
Kasen
So it's finally done!
Kasen
Ahem. Ignore that.
Kasen
Hey, stop pulling me, Cirno!
...And they're gone.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I nearly snapped back there.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
There's nothing for you here. Go to the library with them.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I'll go after everyone leaves. I'll keep to the shadows.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I only hope nothing else goes wrong.
A Recipe for Chaos
Cirno
I can't wait to taste that magic chocolate!
Daiyousei
I wonder what it'll taste like.
Rumia
I'm huuungry!
Daiyousei
Rumia, honestly, you've been saying that the whole time.
Rumia
I can't help it! I'm super excited to try it!
Cirno
The chores are over, and now the Choco Chase Squad is just moments away from completing its mission!
Daiyousei
Cirno, shhh! You'll blow our cover!
(Where's Miss Kasen...?)
(Whew, she's safely hidden behind a bookshelf.)
Remilia
OK, we're all here.
Patchouli
Remi, everyone here is bending over backward for your sake. The least you can do is show a little appreciation.
Remilia
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Koakuma
I think we're good to go!
Patchouli
I know we called for help, but there's like, a whole army here. How many in all?
Koakuma
Um... a lot!
Patchouli
At least keep track of how many you invited.
Remilia
It's fine! If it gets the job done, then the more the merrier.
Patchouli
OK now for the final step, please place your bags of feels on the magic circle over there.
Daiyousei
Um, I'm still not sure what this bag is. How is it a special ingredient for the magic chocolate?
Patchouli
I can explain, but it'll get complicated.
Patchouli
Not fans of complicated, are you? Fine, I'll make it simple.
Patchouli
There's no point using Alchemy if the ingredients are basic cocoa and sugar. It'll just make regular chocolate.
Patchouli
You need a special ingredient to make it extraordinary.
Daiyousei
Oh...
Remilia
And regular chocolate is boring.
Patchouli
Feelings can actually be an incredibly potent catalyst.
Remilia
So powerful, the finished product will touch your heart.
Patchouli
Right. That's why I had you guys use the bags of feels.
Patchouli
Now then, go on and place your bags over here.
Utsuho
...Ah.
Utsuho
I completely forgot about it!
Rin
Yeah, I got way too caught up with the chores.
Youmu
Same here. I was too focused on guarding the gate.
Patchouli
Seriously? It seems like most of you forgot!
Remilia
(I can't tell her I almost forgot too.)
Patchouli
Well, then use it now. Right here.
Suika
No limit on how many times we can use it, right?
Patchouli
Yes, that won't be a problem.
Suika
Speaking of feelings, we love battles of bullets!
Yuugi
Might as well make a spectacle of it!
Utsuho
Count us in!
B-Bullets are flying everywhere...
Patchouli
Enough! If you insist on fighting, do it somewhere else!
Patchouli
I worked hard on that magic circle! Stop ruining it!
Rumia
But everyone's having fun.
Patchouli
Out of everyone here, I assumed you three would be the first to forget. But here you are with your bags ready.
Cirno
Well, yeah! We're awesome!
Patchouli
Then could you go keep an eye on them?
Cirno
More chores?!
Remilia
If you help, I'll give you extra chocolate.
Cirno
Deal! I'm on it!
Cirno, wait!
She's so fast!
Daiyousei
Cirnooo! Don't leave us behind!
Patchouli
Remi, please stop making promises so lightly.
Remilia
Think of it as damage control. You don't want the library to get even more damaged, do you?
Patchouli
I guess...
Remilia
Don't tell me you were tempted to join them.
Patchouli
I was not!
Things That Matter
Daiyousei
Looks like Cirno and Rumia left us behind... I'll stay and help you, Miss PLAYER!
Meiling
Hm, what do I like? Probably lunch break. But getting some exercise with battles isn't bad either.
Youmu
I agree. The path to growing stronger has no end!
Meiling
Whew, I'm beat. I could really go for Miss Sakuya's tea about now.
Youmu
...I wonder what Lady Yuyuko is up to.
Yuugi
Sure, I love a good fight, but my friends are important to me too.
Suika
By the way! We should totally have a party after this is over!
Suika
Nothing beats fighting someone strong!
Yuugi
I like your guts. Keep it coming!
Koakuma
Hey, watch it! You'll ruin the magic circle!
Koakuma
My favorite thing? Serving Lady Patchouli, without a doubt!
Whims and Whiplash
Rumia
Wait, where did the others go?
Rumia
Oh well! Let's have some fun without them!
Rin
The thing I like most are fresh corpses!
Utsuho
Nothing beats that blazing heat that melts everything in sight! Max firepower is the best!
Rin
Maybe I'll have your corpse someday... just kidding!
Utsuho
Huh? I could've sworn I saw Lady Koishi just now...
Shinmyoumaru
Being little has its perks. I can easily hide in Seija's pocket!
Seija
Wow, "I had no idea." Well, it's no big deal, so do as you please.
Seija
Wow, you got me. "Still not gonna surrender."
Shinmyoumaru
I'll hide in Seija's pocket and retreat!
Patchouli
Hey, this area's off-limits. Koakuma already warned you. Back off!
Patchouli
...It's not like I'm looking for an excuse to join the battle!
Patchouli
Hm, you did pretty well.
Patchouli
*wheeze* I'm not built for sudden action. I spend too much time focusing on research.
Feelings Gone Wrong
Patchouli
All right, the bags are in place.
Patchouli
That's all of them, I hope.
Remilia
Excellent. This is the moment we've been waiting for.
???
It started already?
Remilia
There you are, Flan. You're late.
Flandre
No one came to get me! I was being good and cleaning!
Patchouli
Well, you arrived just in time. Quickly place your bag down.
Flandre
Oh, the bag of feels! I totally forgot!
Patchouli
Not you too...
Patchouli
Go ahead and shout your feelings into it now.
Flandre
Shout, huh? Easy!
Flandre
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
*screech*
My ears!
That was way too loud!
Everyone
Whoooa!
Patchouli
W-Watch your volume!
Patchouli
That bag is made to store feelings! If you overdo it like that―
*BOOM*
Remilia
The bag burst!
Remilia
What's that...?
*rumble*
Patchouli
This is bad! The magic circle's going out of control! Stay back! I'll stabilize it!
Cirno
Ow, my ears are ringing.
Cirno, watch out! The magic circle's unstable!
Patchouli
I said stay away from there!
Remilia
That doesn't look normal. Something's rising from the circle.
Koakuma
It looks like... a giant lump of chocolate.
Remilia
How did this happen? All Flan did was scream loudly.
Patchouli
The bag couldn't withstand Flan's magic.
Remilia
Excuse me?! It handled my power just fine! So why hers and not mine?!
Remilia
Never mind! Cirno needs help!
Koakuma
Lady Remilia, wait!
Flandre
Oooh, what's that?! Can I touch it?
Koakuma
Not you too!
Patchouli
Koakuma, stop the chocolate-making process. Get everyone out. Safety first!
Koakuma
Got it!
Over here, Cirno!
(Oh no!)
(I stepped on the magic circle...)
Remilia
PLAYER! Take Cirno and hide behind the shelves!
Flandre
Can I destroy this thing?
Remilia
I'd hate to waste all the effort everyone put in, but we don't have a choice. Do it.
Remilia & Flandre
Divine Spear: Spear the Gungnir! Taboo: Laevateinn!
Remilia
You're kidding me!
Flandre
It absorbed our attacks!
Remilia & Flandre
AAAAAAAHHHH!
Remilia! Flan!
That thing ate them!
Cirno
And their bullets!
Cirno
Let them go! I'm gonna freeze you solid!
Grrrk... shlooorp... pah!
They got out of the chocolate!
(But... something's wrong.)
Cirno
You guys OK?!
Remilia & Flandre
...mmy.
Remilia & Flandre
GIMME CHOCOLATES! LOTS AND LOTS OF YUMMY CHOCOLATES!
Cirno
Eep! They're being creepy!
Kasen
Are you hurt?!
Kasen
Thank goodness you're safe, PLAYER.
Kasen
Everyone's moved to the safe zone. C'mon, let's get outta here―Watch out!
Kasen
Ow! A book just hit my head...!
Cirno
Kasen! Don't pass out!
Kasen
Don't worry about me―go... *thud*
I'm sorry, Kasen!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(Damn, this situation's spiraling fast.)
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(Sorry, PLAYER, but I can't stay here any longer.)
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(No way... Even I can't open the door!)
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(Tch, guess I'll hide somewhere else.)
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(But seriously...)
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(A book? That's all it took to knock her out?!)
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(I can't believe I'm a part of her. What a disgrace.)
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(But... damn it...!)
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Curses!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I can't believe I have to carry her like this!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Leaving her here will cause trouble later. It's just easier this way!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Now's my only chance. I'll stash her away somewhere.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
What an awful day.
Fueled by Feelings
Suika
Whoa, what happened here?
Rin
There's a giant chocolate monster and chocolate-covered vampire sisters screaming their heads off! What's going on?!
Meiling
Lady Patchouli, please tell me they're not in danger!
Patchouli
It's not life-threatening.
Patchouli
But...
But?
Patchouli
It's still pretty bad.
Youmu
Well, that part's obvious.
Remilia & Flandre
I wanna play all day long!
Shinmyoumaru
That's definitely not normal behavior.
That chocolate caused this, didn't it?
Patchouli
In a sense. That chocolate is also a massive lump of feelings.
Daiyousei
A lump?
Rumia
Of feelings?
Patchouli
Yes. In short, it's the bags of feels' fault.
Patchouli
That chocolate is packed full of the positive feelings we gathered.
Patchouli
Remi and Flan got overwhelmed by it... and this is the result.
Remilia & Flandre
I wanna destroy everything!
Seija
Whoa, now they've started shooting bullets!
Patchouli
They're driven by pure desire. They've lost all restraint.
Koakuma
We've sealed the library, but it won't hold forever.
We need to stop them now.
Daiyousei
But how?
Patchouli
Simple. We fight fire with fire.
Patchouli
All we need are feelings powerful enough to break through that chocolate.
Patchouli
I grabbed the bags of feels we used earlier. If we need more, we can just keep refilling them.
Rumia
Will that really work?
Patchouli
No harm in trying.
Patchouli's Feelings
I WANT TO STAY HOLED UP AND DO NOTHING BUT RESEARCH! ONLY RESEAAARRRCH!
Remilia
Ack!
Rumia
Whoa, looks like it's working!
Daiyousei
If we keep attacking like this...!
Remilia
Nghh! I WANT TO SLEEP ALL DAY LONG!
They're coming right at us!
Yuugi
Time to fight back! Hit them with all your feelings!
Patchouli
We can slow Remi and Flan down with a battle of bullets. Let's split up and handle this.
Cirno
I'll do it!
Cirno
They fought to protect PLAYER! I'm not backing down either! I'll save them!
Youmu's Feelings
I WANT TO TRAIN EVERY DAY AND BECOME THE STRONGEST!
Suika's Feelings
I WANNA LAZE AROUND ON REIMU'S PORCH ALL DAY!
Seija's Feelings
"I HATE REBELLING!"
Youmu
Even those kind of feelings work?!
Daiyousei
Wait, where did Miss PLAYER go?!
Rumia
Did we get separated again?
I came looking for Miss Kasen, but...
I don't see her anywhere.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(What's PLAYER doing here?!)
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(Anyway! I have to tell her about Cirno!)
Cirno
Let them go! I'm gonna freeze you solid!
*crackle*
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(It's slowing down. Freezing it worked.)
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(The outer layer looks like melted chocolate. A sudden drop in temperature should mess it up.)
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(Even the vampire sisters slowed down when Cirno froze them.)
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I've figured out how to fix this.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
PLAYER, over here! I know how to stop―!
Remilia
I WANT TO WALK IN THE SUN WITHOUT MY PARASOL!
Flandre
ME TOO, ME TOO, ME TOO, ME TOO!
Meiling
Young Mistress, please calm down!
Miss Kasen's trying to tell me something, but...
I can't hear anything over all this shouting!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Tch, this place is way too noisy!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Fine, I'll just go to her and say it!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Stop wandering off on your own.
I'm glad nobody found you!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Listen carefully. I've got a plan!
Cirno
There you are, Kasen! Where have you been this whole time?!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Not now, Cirno. I need to explain the strategy.
Cirno
Guys! I found Kasen!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Stop! Don't call everyone over here!
Miss Kasen's got a plan. Just listen for a moment.
Cirno
What plan?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Pay attention. First―
Remilia
SAKUYAAA! BRING ME SOME TEA ALREADY!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(Damn it, there's so much noise! There's no way to explain things properly.)
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
(Looks like I'll have to step in.)
Patchouli
Wait... Who's that over by the bookshelves?
Daiyousei
Is that Miss Kasen?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Cirno, I'm counting on you! Do exactly as I say!
Koakuma
It's too dark to see clearly.
Daiyousei
Maybe it's really Miss Kasen.
Yuugi
Yeah, it's her.
Suika
Looks like the hermit's leading the way.
Cirno
Got it! I trust you!
Cirno
Help me take them down with your strength and wisdom!
Operation: Perfect Freeze
Patchouli
Kasen, I did what you said and got all the water I could. You're sure this will work?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Yeah, just splash the water on the chocolate stuck to those sisters.
Rumia
Ohhh, I get it! Flowing water is a vampire's weakness!
Koakuma
It might slow them down, but will it really work on Lady Remilia and Lady Flandre?
Patchouli
Sure, it might catch them off guard for a moment, but it's only water.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
No, it'll work. Just soak them, and that's when Cirno steps in.
Cirno
Me?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
The instant they're wet, freeze them.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Simply freezing them will only stop them for a few seconds. But if you splash water on them first...
Cirno
I've got it! They said they want it sparkly clean, right...?
Cirno
Well, ice is sparkly AND clean!
Daiyousei
Eek! The spilled water froze instantly!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Wet surfaces freeze faster... just as Cirno demonstrated earlier when she was cleaning!
Remilia
THE MOON SHOULD BE SCARLET!
Remilia's coming this way!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Now then, time to put this plan into action.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Water, now!
Remilia
Ngh!
Patchouli
Sorry, but I can't let the library be wrecked any further.
Daiyousei
Cirno!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Do it!
Cirno
On it!
Cirno
Freeze Sign: Perfect Freeze!
Remilia
Nngh...
Rumia
She stopped moving!
Cirno
Awesome! Kasen's the best!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
That takes care of the older sister. Now comes the difficult part.
Flandre
KYAHAHAHA! I WANNA KEEP PLAYING WITH EVERYONE!
Patchouli
Compared to Remi, she's far more affected by the feelings.
Patchouli
Flan is pretty open about her feelings, which may have made her more vulnerable.
Patchouli
She's no longer holding back.
Flandre
TABOO: FOUR OF A KIND!
Flandre
See? More of me means more fun!
Rumia
Oh no... she multiplied.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
One step at a time. Let's get rid of them first.
Cirno
We've got this! Kasen figured it out already! Freeze the chocolate and we're good!
Daiyousei
I'll splash the water!
Cirno
I'll shoot the bullets!
Rumia
And I'll use the bag of feels!
Everyone
Together, we're unstoppable!
Flandre
Aw, I wanted to keep playing.
Daiyousei
Did it work?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
They're only projections. Freezing them won't end the problem.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
We gotta attack the source.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
There she is.
Everyone, behind you!
Daiyousei
No way! Why is Miss Remilia back up?!
Rumia
They're attacking together!
Patchouli
Freezing them only goes so far.
Patchouli
Kasen's right. We need to attack the source.
Rumia
Look! The chocolate is getting bigger!
When did it get that big?!
It's bigger than the bookshelves!
Koakuma
The library won't withstand this much longer!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
This ends now!
Sweet Victory
Cirno
Kasen, what's the next move?!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Drive them closer to the magic circle. Freezing both at once will be faster.
Daiyousei
Wow... She's predicting both of their movements and steering them toward the circle!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Perfect. We can finish this now.
Rumia
Nice! Hermits really are on another level!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Now's our chance! Everyone, move in!
Remilia
Ugh... I'm so hungry...
Flandre
Nooo, I wanna keep playing...
Patchouli
Snap out of it already!
Koakuma
Hit them with the bags of feels!
Rumia
I'm gonna save them and get yummy chocolate!
Patchouli
TREAT THE LIBRARY WITH MORE RESPECT!
Meiling
CUT ME SOME SLACK IF I FALL ASLEEP!
(Everyone's true desires are showing!)
Remilia & Flandre
Nnngh...
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Now, Cirno! Strike the chocolate with your feelings!
Finish it, Cirno!
Hit it with everything you feel!
Cirno
*heavy breathing* This ends now!
Rumia
You can do it!
Daiyousei
You've got this!
Everyone
Cirno! Cirno!
Cirno
Wow. I'm totally the star right now.
Cirno
If I can say what I really feel...
Cirno
There's only one thing I really want!
Cirno
I helped out and everything, but...
Cirno
ALL I WANTED WAS CHOCOLATE!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
The lump of chocolate is disappearing...
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
That's the end of it.
We did it!
It's all thanks to you, Miss Kasen!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Hey, knock it off, PLAYER! Stop hugging me!
Daiyousei
That was incredible! You figured everything out!
Rumia
She even came up with the plan!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Don't you start hugging me too!
Cirno
Come back here!
Yuugi
Impressive work there, "Kasen."
Suika
Yeah, it was just like watching a real hermit at work.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
...Whatever.
The Dessert That Got Away
Remilia
It feels like I was trapped in a really long dream.
Remilia
Wait... why am I wearing a different outfit?
Meiling
You were soaking wet. I was worried you'd get sick, so I helped you change!
Flandre
Now I remember! We got splashed like crazy! Unbelievable!
Flandre
But, somehow, I feel super refreshed!
Morning!
Are you feeling better?
Daiyousei
Any weird symptoms?
Rumia
I saved the chocolate that was stuck to you. Felt like such a waste to toss it.
Patchouli
Don't even think about eating it. There's no telling what would happen.
Remilia
I remember now. Everyone stepped in to help us.
Remilia
I truly appreciate it.
Flandre
I had a good time!
Remilia
My memories are fuzzy, but you all helped us, right?
Miss Kasen coordinated the whole thing.
And Cirno finished it off.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I just didn't want any more trouble.
Cirno
I guess I'm pretty strong.
Cirno
All that effort means we get rewarded, right?!
Remilia
...Oh.
Something wrong?
Remilia
I kind of already mentioned this before.
Remilia
The plan was to reward all of you with the magic chocolate for your hard work, but...
Patchouli
That chocolate is gone now.
Remilia
Which means... no reward.
Rumia
We don't get anything?!
Flandre
We should probably do something about this mess before Sakuya gets back and totally loses it.
Remilia
Oh, right, Sakuya. I completely forgot we promised to clean up while she was out.
Koakuma
Yeah, and the library is in a pretty bad state after everything that happened.
Patchouli
We'll have to clean everything all over again.
Remilia
Um... I know it's a lot, but could you all help out just a little more?
Rumia
What about the chocolate?! Do we get some?!
Remilia
Maybe next time.
Yuugi
You've gotta be kidding me!
Youmu
That's honestly unfair!
Cirno
I refuse to work without treats!
Rumia
I don't care what it is, just gimme something to eat!
Remilia
Come on, I said I'm sorry!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I can't believe you put up with this nonsense every time. That's impressive, in its own way.
Once you get used to it, it's kinda fun.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
No thanks. Once was more than enough for me.
A Bitter Aftertaste
Chasing after some magic chocolate, Cirno and the gang worked themselves to the bone at the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
Despite heroically stopping the out-of-control chocolate, they somehow ended up with zero reward.
The story continues as they go after Remilia, the root of all the chaos, determined to set things straight.
Cirno & Rumia
Stoooop!
Remilia
S-So cold! You can't just freeze people out of nowhere!
Remilia
I can't move an inch! It's like I'm being detained!
Cirno
Well, yeah! Give it up already, Remilia! We're not leaving till we get our chocolate.
Rumia
We help, you give us chocolate. That was the deal, remember?!
Rumia
We even took down that giant chocolate thing! And we get no reward?! That is just wrong!
Suika
I gotta say, all this unpaid work leaves a seriously bitter aftertaste.
Remilia
I can't give what I don't have!
Remilia
I'll find a way to make it up to you all another time, so please just let this one slide!
Patchouli
I'm surprised you're backing down so easily.
Remilia
Patchy?
Patchouli
We can't recreate that massive batch of chocolate, but I can still make enough for everyone with what's left.
Patchouli
We've still got a few bags of feelings in stock, but starting from scratch means it'll take a bit longer.
Patchouli
I'll see to it that we succeed this time. Does that sound like a fair reward?
Patchouli
And if that's still not enough... we'll just have to get creative.
Remilia
Thank you, Patchy! I don't know what I'd do without you!
Remilia
So I'd like you all to help just a little longer.
Cirno
Again?! You gotta be kidding!
Remilia
I guess you're right. This hardly repays your efforts.
Remilia
Then how about this? Once the next batch is done, I'll throw a thank-you party. On me.
Yuugi
Did you say party? Count me in.
Daiyousei
Did you hear that? A party! C'mon, Cirno, it's just a little bit more work!
Cirno
Uuuuugh...
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
What's wrong? That's as far as your love for chocolate goes?
Cirno
K-Kasen.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
You're their leader, aren't you? Then lead.
Cirno
That's right, I'm the leader of the Choco Chase Squad!
Daiyousei
Shhh! That's supposed to be a secret!
Cirno
Fine, I'll do it! I'm the strongest leader, after all!
Remilia
Since you're fired up, I'll let you take the lead.
Cirno
Come again?
Patchouli
That makes sense. It'll be faster if Cirno's gang takes care of the cleanup.
Daiyousei
...Wait a second.
Flandre
And don't forget the party prep too!
Rumia
It feels like we got more work dumped on us!
It'll be done in a flash if we work together.
Meiling
Don't worry, we'll help too.
Shinmyoumaru
Right, let's split up and finish it.
Patchouli
You can start by cleaning whatever's left of that giant chocolate lump.
Patchouli
Then you've got to deep-clean the place.
Remilia
We'll split into teams for chocolate cleanup, deep cleaning, and support for Patchy.
Remilia
Thanks for sticking with us this long.
Kasen
Ughhh... PLAYER, are you all right...?
Tick Tick Maid
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
There are bits of chocolate all over the place. Clean-up's gonna be a nightmare.
Rumia
Ew, some of them are still moving!
Patchouli
They're small, but we can't just leave them lying around. Get rid of them before they turn into an even bigger mess.
Daiyousei
Oh no! The chocolate's making a break for it!
Koakuma
I JUST undid the sealing spell like, one second ago!
The chocolate's getting outside!
Quick, we need to stop it!
Cirno
I've got this! I'll use my Perfect Freeze and stop all the bits in one go!
Cirno
Heh... piece of cake.
Daiyousei
That was awesome, Cirno! Think we got them all?
Rumia
Yeah, but we trashed the place doing it...
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
You made it worse.
We need to clean up, fast.
Are we ever gonna finish cleaning?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Beats me. All I know is we're the ones stuck with it.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I cleared out the bits that made it into the hallway. But now that area's trashed too. We'll have to clean all over again.
Remilia
Thank you for dealing with the leftover chocolate.
Remilia
But we need to clean this up as quickly as possible. We can't let Sakuya find out.
Patchouli
The kitchen's still got a pile of chocolate-smeared utensils that need to be cleaned.
Patchouli
Seriously, Remi, why did you have to run your mouth and tell Sakuya that we'd clean the whole mansion ourselves?
Remilia
So what? Sakuya does so much for us. She deserves some time off once in a while.
Patchouli
This disaster is the complete opposite of clean. I don't even want to think about what she'd say if she saw it.
Remilia
Hahaha! I know, right?!
Remilia
That's why we have to fix this before Sakuya gets back!
???
Before Sakuya gets back, huh?
Remilia
That's right. To fool―ahem, I mean to reassure her... We're in a race against time.
???
I see. Then things are about to get awfully busy.
Remilia
Yes, there's barely any time left.
Patchouli
Remi...
Remilia
What is it now?
Remilia...
B-Behind you.
Remilia
Huh? What are you―
Sakuya
Pardon me, milady.
Sakuya
Care to explain what, exactly, this is?
A Flambe of Feelings
Remilia
Sakuya, wait! At least hear me out first!
Sakuya
I believe I asked you more than once if everything would really be fine.
Remilia
Relax. Patchy and I are just doing a little magic experiment.
Remilia
Leave the chores to me. You just worry about yourself today.
Remilia
And I've already arranged for extra maids. We should have enough help now.
Sakuya
I-I guess if you're sure about it... I'll take you up on that.
Sakuya
For once, I actually got to enjoy some time to myself... and I was happy.
Sakuya
Until I got back and saw the state of this mansion.
Sakuya
The hallway, the kitchen, and even this library. The entire mansion... reduced to this disgraceful state.
Sakuya
So, milady, let me ask you once more...
Sakuya
What, exactly, is going on here?
Sakuya
I'm afraid this situation calls for some strict discipline.
Remilia
Wait, Sakuya! Please let me apologize! Just put the knives down for now!
Sakuya
Sorry, but I can't do that.
Remilia
Help! Someone stop Sakuya!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
...So, what's the plan?
We should help her.
This isn't Remilia's fault.
Daiyousei
Exactly. She was just trying to protect Cirno.
Rumia
Now it's our turn to protect Remilia!
Daiyousei
...And that's what led to this mess.
Sakuya
OK, I got the gist of it.
Rumia
Remilia was just trying to protect Cirno! She wasn't trying to create a mess!
Remilia
But the fact is that I asked her to trust me and I broke that trust.
Remilia
I'm really sorry, Sakuya.
Sakuya
...Milady.
Sakuya
I'm not angry, you know.
Remilia
You're not?!
Sakuya
I was worried, sure, but...
Remilia
But what?
Sakuya
I just wanted to mess with you a little.
Sakuya
Anyway, we've got a mess to clean up.
Sakuya
I can help now.
Sakuya
I'll take care of the cleanup. You focus on chocolate-making.
Remilia
Th-That was fast!
Patchouli
Sakuya's amazing. Everything's already spotless!
Daiyousei
Wow... she's on another level.
Rumia
...Yeah, no kidding.
The Taste of Suspicion
Sakuya
Whew. This area's looking pretty clean now.
Sakuya
Once the cleaning's done, I need to prep for the party. Plus, Lady Remilia's clothes need to be washed.
Rin
Whoa. Everything's getting clean at an insane speed.
Utsuho
No way we're falling behind! Let's work harder!
Sakuya
Thank you. Then I'll let you finish up here.
Rin
Easy, Okuu. I know you wanna speed things up, but please don't burn everything down.
Utsuho
Yeah, yeah, I know. I'd totally get chewed out.
Utsuho
And you're one to talk! No sneaking bites, got it?
Rin
I-I'm not that shameless!
Suika
OK, where do you want these jars?
Meiling
We won't be using those. You can put them back in the basement pantry.
Meiling
As for these fruits... we can serve them at the party.
Youmu
Then allow me to fix them up a bit. I'll handle the basic prep work.
Yuugi
Gotta have variety! Chocolate isn't the only delicious thing!
Patchouli
Koakuma, everything OK at your end?
Koakuma
Yep! The catalyst and the magic circle both seem fine!
Shinmyoumaru
We've got all the ingredients we need.
Seija
And nothing's getting in the way this time... Is this what they call "the worst possible conditions"?
Patchouli
We're going to get it right this time.
Rumia
And done! It's all clean now! But I'm soooo hungry...
Daiyousei
Good job, Rumia! What about you, Cirno?
Cirno
I'm done too, but...
Cirno
Kasen disappeared again without saying anything.
(Where'd she go?)
(Is she hiding again?)
Cirno
Geez! She works for me but doesn't even report back!
Rumia
She pulled the same thing in the library earlier.
Cirno
Just wait till I find her. I'm ordering her to stay right next to me!
Cirno
There she is!
Kasen
What do they mean I did a good job at the library?
Kasen
Something's seriously off. People keep acting like I did things I know I didn't.
Kasen
It's like there's another me running around.
Kasen
Is someone pretending to be me? But why?
Cirno
Kasen! You ditched us again! Stop doing that! You're supposed to stay by my side!
Kasen
Oh, hey, Cirno. And PLAYER. You're still cleaning?
Cirno
Obviously! You were the one who told us to hang in there a little longer!
Kasen
D-Did I?
Cirno
Whatever! You work for me, so stop vanishing whenever you feel like it!
Kasen
Um... since when do I work for you?
Cirno
What?
Cirno
Ohhh, I get it now...
(This is bad!)
(They're gonna figure it out!)
Cirno
You're trying to rebel against me, aren't you?!
Cirno
Fine, then! I'll show you who's the leader!
Kasen
(What's going on?!)
Kasen
*sigh*
Kasen
(I got dragged into following them.)
Cirno
Nobody said anything about washing dishes!
Daiyousei
I heard the chocolate will be ready any minute! I can't wait!
Cirno
But Kasen's acting kinda weird today.
Kasen
Don't be ridiculous. I'm perfectly normal.
Rumia
I'm with Cirno... It feels like there's more than one Kasen around.
Cirno & Rumia
Like she's got clones or something!
No way!
I-It's all in your head!
Kasen
Haha, that's ridiculous. I have zero reason to clone myself.
Kasen
(Everything they're saying makes it sound like there's another Kasen out there.)
Kasen
(And PLAYER is clearly hiding something.)
Kasen
(Maybe I wasn't imagining it back then after all...)
Kasen
Ngh...
Kasen
(I can't afford to faint now...)
???
I can't believe I have to carry her like this!
Kasen
(Who's there...? Everything's blurred... I don't know what's happening...)
???
What an awful day.
Kasen
(I can hear someone. Who... are you?)
Kasen
(Wait... why...?)
Kasen
(Now I'm sure of it. That person was definitely my other half.)
Kasen
(But I doubt she'd come here on her own.)
Kasen
(No... that can't be. I'm probably just imagining things.)
Daiyousei
You two are so silly. Like that could ever happen.
Cirno
Yeah, you're right! If there were two Kasens, the place would be total chaos by now!
Rumia
Guys! Koakuma says the chocolate's ready!
Rumia
She told us to meet outside once we're done with the dishes!
Cirno
For real?! Then let's speed-run these dishes!
Kasen
...PLAYER.
What's wrong?
Kasen
No, it's nothing. Let's just get this done.
A Quiet Bittersweet Exit
Remilia
Thanks to you all, we finally got the chores done.
Remilia
And at last, the chocolate we've been dreaming of is ready!
Remilia
Big thanks to all of you! Now let's party it up with some chocolate!
Koakuma
OK, who's next? Oh, it's you guys. About time you showed up.
Rumia
The line for chocolate is insane!
Daiyousei
We got stuck doing dishes, so we ended up all the way at the back.
Koakuma
Thanks again for everything. Anyway, here's your well-deserved chocolate.
Rumia
Ooo... So this is that rumored magic chocolate!
Patchouli
Not sure what you heard, but I've infused it with lots of magic.
Patchouli
I call it... Chocolate Full of Feelings!
Rumia
Let's stop talking and start eating!
Koakuma
Wait a sec. Cirno, you get some more.
Cirno
Wait, what? Why do I get extra?
Koakuma
Because you worked the hardest to bring things under control. It's a thank-you gift.
Cirno
Awesome! Thanks, Koakuma! OK, time to eat this thing!
Everyone
Ready, set... munch!
Everyone
...Whoa.
Everyone
Yummy!
Rumia
It's just a piece of chocolate, but...
Daiyousei
It makes me wanna tell everyone how yummy it is!
Patchouli
Nice catch. That's what it's designed to do.
Patchouli
It's laced with express-yourself magic. Basically, it makes you say what you're feeling.
Patchouli
And of course, it's delicious. I made sure we got only premium ingredients.
Rumia
*munch* Yummy!
Daiyousei
Did you just inhale the whole thing?!
Cirno
Hehe, I have lots anyway. We can just eat it all up...
Fairies
Good luck! We'll be waiting!
Cirno
Oh, right... hehe. Can't forget about my promise.
Rumia
We ate the chocolate, so... do our wishes come true now?
Patchouli
What wishes? That's not what this chocolate does.
Rumia
Wait, seriously?! The whole rumor was fake?!
Cirno
You're kidding... we went through all that for nothing?
Daiyousei
Yeah, it's sad, but... I had a lot of fun working together!
Cirno
Yeah, you're right! Shouting out your feelings is kinda refreshing!
Cirno
I'M GONNA BE THE STRONGEST FAIRY IN GENSOKYO!
Rumia
My turn! I WANNA EAT A TON OF FOOD!
Daiyousei
Uh, um, I...!
Patchouli
My, my, look how loud they are. The magic must still be working.
Yuugi
What's going on? This seems fun.
Flandre
Let us join the fun!
Cirno
(Huh, where did PLAYER go?)
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Why aren't you with the others?
I came to find you.
You're leaving already?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Yeah, you got what you came for. No reason for me to stick around.
I gave it some thought...
Can you try to get along with Kasen? I'll help.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I figured you'd say something like that.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
But it's not gonna happen. Not in your lifetime.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
We're not the kind to patch things up and play nice.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
You've got it all wrong. I'm someone who chose a different path from Kasen.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Just 'cause we look alike and used to be one person, you think that means we're destined to get along?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Heh, don't make me laugh.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Get this through your head. No matter what you feel, some people are never meant to meet halfway.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
You're no exception. Do you honestly believe you can get along with everyone?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I don't see myself coexisting with anyone right now.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
So I'll be keeping my distance for a while.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
That all you wanted to say? I'm exhausted. I'm leaving.
Wait!
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
What now? I told you, I'm not interested!
Thanks for your help today.
Be careful on your way back.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
...Tch.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Seriously, today was the worst.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Dragged everywhere, nonstop shouting, endless nonsense.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Only PLAYER could make an oni go along with it all like it's no big deal.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Huh, what's this?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
I completely forgot to return the bag of feels.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
A bag that stores feelings...
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Love, desire, greed... nothing is ever enough.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
And maybe that's why we struggle so hard to hold on to things.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Hm, what do I feel?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Maybe I can think of one thing...
*redacted*
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Have I finally lost it?
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Disgusting. Should've known better than to get wrapped up in that mess.
Ibaraki-Douji's Arm
Guess I'll just disappear for a bit.
