Searching For Spring

You ring the chime. You put it back where it was.
There isn't anyone you could see in sight. They are blocked by the trees. However, you now notice a scent of water.
You see that there's a few bullets in a row that fly off here and there, but not enough that would be risky.

 

Climb tree.

 

There isn't anyone you could see in sight.

Wriggle, where did you disappear to?

 

Wriggle was an exception.

You climb a tree. It is tall, but you reach the top. You attempt to get a better view. You manage to see a woman off to the distance, hovering while shooting many bullets at a target, who you cannot see. You notice her speaking, presumably to the unseen person.

"That's her!" Wriggle says. "One of the goddesses! It seems like she's going to start going full out!..."

She seems right, as it seems like the goddess is emmiting a hazy aura around her. A circular rope appears behind her...

Continue watching or go to the battle area?

 

continue watching while eating snow

 

Attempt to climb the rope.

 

Proceed to the battle area, then try to flirt with both girls at once and fail.

 

You continue while eating some snow. Wriggle cringes.
Nothing other that bullets happen.
You feel like climbing the rope around the goddess, but you're too far, and you wonder where you would end up on a circular rope anyway.
You get down and go to the path. You end up at a lake. You can easily dodge some of the bullets coming at you, and you see the goddess shooting at...

...a GUY?!

 

Examine "a GUY?!".

 

yes, a guy just like wriggle already told us.

go down there and murder the guy named "a GUY!?" before he kills us all with his chest flare

 

(just needed some effect for the sudden male)

You run closer to the scene, near the edge of the--

Oh no. You haven't seen him physically before, but it's HIM. Oh no.

This is a big mistake. It's THAT guy. The guy with the...

To continue looking or go back?

 

Zoom sight on biceps of "a GUY!?"

 

Throw a bomb in the mix to break up the fight and then enquire about the whereabouts of the priestess, the magician, or the maid.

 

You have made a big mistake coming.
The guy -- the kid has barely of a bicep. Not hot. (Too normal?)

You zoomed in on him, and you see him clearly for the first time. It's the kid with the green--
You almost got hit by a bullet when Wriggle pulls you back. You start to run in between the two, the bullets getting thicker and thicker.
You eventually make it, and chant out "Kaleidoscope Sign -- Spherical Flatter!".
The two look at you, not realizing that you were running through them.
Wriggle falls back to dodge the bullets, the boy weaves through the sphere, and the goddess gets hit but does not seem to be affected. Her bullets, however, clear up.
"See, if we just named the mountain the Mountain of Fa-"
He sees you clearly this time and groans. He seemes prepared to run away.

 

Seeeeeeeeeelf insert

 

Ask the goddess wether she is fine or not.

 

Let him run. Ask the goddesses about the whereabouts of the priestess, the magician, or the maid, and what they might know about this extended winter.

(don't do self-inserts, no-one likes a mary sue character)

 

(i had to do it only one last time this is important joke)

The kid looks up to the goddess. "This isn't the last of me!" He runs, almost tripping on the way beside you.

"Are you alright?" You ask the goddess.
"Of course. A little kid like him can't beat me." She seems annoyed talking about him.

You ask about the Priestess, the magician, and the maid, and ask about the extended winter.

"Yes, I've heard of them. 'The Three', if I am correct.

They came through here. They didn't talk to any of us at the mountain, though. They seemed to be headed down the other side of the mountain, over there."
She points across the lake. You can barely see an opening, but the forest over there seems plenty dark.
"I don't know what exactly is going on, but this is bad. Of course, our lake will still be unfrozen for a long time, but if this keeps up, the mountain may turn into a frozen wasteland.

...And no, throwing cups of hot water onto the ground won't fix it.

If you need to go after them, I could help you rest first, along with your friend.

By the way, my name is Kanako."

You see a LAKE, GODDESS, FOREST ENTRANCE, TREES, and the PATH back.

 

Enter forest of absolute demise

 

...after accepting Kanako's offer of a quick rest, of course. Also, thank Wriggle for saving your bacon during the skirmish.
