"Spirit gun," you repeat.

Aria nods, making a gun with her right hand and pointing it at you. "It's pretty simple. Ye just have to focus your Spirit Energy into one finger, and let it loose."

She lowers her "gun", and turns away from you.

"The best part is that normal people won't see yer Spirit Gun attack, so ye won't have to worry as much about drawing the attention of local law enforcement," she tells you. "I should also warn ye that with yer current amount of Spirit Energy, you'll only be able to use the attack once between a night's worth of sleep. So, use it wisely until ye can get better with yer Spirit Energy."

>A. Alright, cool

>B. No problem

>C. Is this all?

>D. Test it out and shoot your Spirit Gun into the sky

>E. Test it on her

>F. Fire your Spirit Gun at a building or sign

>G. Something else

>>1217084
>A. Alright, cool

>>1217084
>A. Alright, cool
>G. Focus the spirit gun but don't fire it, get a feel for gathering the energy without actually using it

>>1217084
Also,
>G. Hey, reiki makes you stronger, right? What happens if i channel my energy into my fists and just punch with it instead of firing it all off in a huge blast?

>>1217084
>>A. Alright, cool
>D. Test it out and shoot your Spirit Gun into the sky

>>1217113
You realize we're about to go on the job, right?
We already spent a good bit of power using the lens, now you want to waste all of it firing at nothing when we're probably about to get into a fight?

>>1217087
>>1217089
"Alright, cool," you tell her, making a gun with your hand. For a moment, you focus, trying to direct your Spirit Energy into your pointer finger. You feel a sort of warm tingle at the tip of your finger, and are sure that you've successfully focused your energy. But, in the interest of not wasting the one shot you'll get today, you don't release it, instead forcing the energy back.

"Hey, Spirit Energy makes you stronger, right?" you ask.

Aria nods. "Yes. With training, a spiritually aware human can greatly strengthen their Spirit Energy. That's why you should practice with your Spyglass when you can."

"Well, what happens if I channel my energy into my fists and punch with it instead of firing it in a blast?" you ask.

Aria holds out a hand to her side, and a book seems to appear out of thin air. She flips through it for a moment before answering you.

"Well, that would give your punches some extra kick," she tells you. "But those punches still wouldn't be as powerful as the Spirit Gun, and you'd use up yer energy fast if ye weren't careful."

She closes her book and stuffs it in her backpack.

"So, what's the plan?" she asks.

>A. Might as well go for a walk around town and see if you can find anything

>B. Invite her to your house for dinner

>C. You'll make sure to watch the news tonight and tomorrow morning. Tell her to keep an eye out

"We might as well go for a walk around town and see if we can find anything," you tell Aria. "If we can't, I'll be sure to keep an eye on the news."

"Alright," Aria tells you, taking a step back. "Let's get goin', then."

The two of you travel side by side, strolling around town and keeping your eyes peeled for anything suspicious. Other than kids smoking, and a lot of people driving like assholes, there's really nothing that could be considered criminal going on.

The two of you are nearly ready to call it quits for the day when you hear somebody scream.

Rushing toward the sound, you spot a pretty blonde girl, maybe a year or two older than you, being backed up against a wall by three guys. You haven't seen her in school, but she's definitely wearing the right uniform.

You're mildly surprised to see that the creeps boxing her in aren't Kevin and his goons, looking a few years too old. The one in the middle of the group is holding up a pocket knife, though the others don't seem to be armed.

"I'm not sure if this is demonic, but maybe we should step in anyway," Aria suggests.

>>1217236
>>1217223
>>1217214
Not wanting to go into this blind, you pull out your spyglass, taking a look at each of the three goons attacking the girl, searching them for any additional weapons.

The two "unarmed" thugs also appear to have pocket-knives, but that seems to be the extent of it. You see no signs of any guns or the like, meaning that you should be able to handle this without too much trouble.

"Stay quiet, you little bitch!" the man in the middle shouts, backhanding the girl, who slumps down against the wall and raises her knees to protect her body.

Aria growls beside you, fixing the men with a nasty glare.

>A. Spirit Gun the back of the middle-man's head

>B. Spirit Gun the middle-man in the back

>C. Charge in and start punching

You aren't happy with these bastards, either. Without announcing your presence, you rush in, striking by surprise and kicking the man in the middle behind the knee, causing his leg to buckle.

He cries out in surprise, but before he has the chance to try and do anything, you grab him by the back of his jacket and fling him back, sending the pocket-knife flying from his hand, and sending him sprawling on the ground.

The other two thugs turn toward you, the one on your left coming running at you while the one to your right reaches into his pocket. The charging chump throws a punch at your face that you easily catch, and as he struggles to free his fist, you knock him flat with a single punch.

The one on the ground begins crawling toward his knife, while the one on your right retrieves his own from his pocket, revealing the blade and coming swinging. Stepping back and moving your head, you manage to avoid a slash aimed at your right eye.

He's right though, adding some original elements makes a world of difference, if you can do it smoothly.

>>1217483
>>1217476
>>1217484
>>1217384
Stepping back and avoiding more swings, you wait for your chance to disarm him. Soon seeing an opportunity present itself, you catch his wrist, twisting his arm until he's forced to release the knife.

As your foe's weapon falls uselessly to the ground, you release his wrist and give a kick to his chest with such force that he's actually thrown off the ground and slams against the wall.

A gasp from behind gets your attention, and you turn around to see the first thug unconscious on the ground, hand outstretched toward his knife.

Aria stands over him, holding her oar and glaring at his unconscious form.

With that handled, you decide to check on the girl, only to find that she's gone, probably having run off once the fighting started.

Two of the three goons are unconscious, save the one you slammed against the wall. He looks hurt, but he's in better shape to talk than anybody else in his group.

Approaching the man, you grab him by the collar as he tries to rise, and slam his back against the wall. He grunts in pain, holding still and looking up at you fearfully.

"Why were you attacking that girl?" you demand of him.

The man gives an angry sigh. "The boss...he told us to go out and cause trouble."

He chuckles. "A cute girl like that....we were thinking getting into some trouble with her would be fun."

You hear Aria make a sound of disgust as she comes to stand beside you.

"So you've got more buddies skulking around?" you ask the man.

He smirks up at you. "That's right, tough guy. And once the find out what you pulled, your ass is grass."

He laughs. "Let's see how long you can keep alive, hero!"

>A. Knock him out

>B. Ask who his boss is

>C. Head home

We should be careful about heading home.
If we're followed, our folks might be caught up in the fighting

>>1217579
>>1217584
"Who's your boss?" you demand of the man, who just erupts into further laughter.

"You'll find out soon enough, you little shit," he tells you, his voice dripping with arrogance. "Now why don't you run home and say goodbye to mommy and daddy?"

>A. Knock him out

>B. Hit him

>C. Demand to know the name of his boss

His boss is totally the demon we're looking for, and this guy knows where he is.
We're getting paid to do a job, and like the guy said, once he finds out we kicked their asses, he's going to try and hurt us.
Don't forget who our QM is, he loves killing our parents.

>>1217679
I mean, he was gonna beat and rape and possibly mutilate a girl just because his boss said so.

>>1217696
Which, actually...
Makes som way more of an edgelord than us right now.

>>1217679
His boss said for them to cause trouble, said trouble was basically them about to attempt rape on a girl from our school and they were carrying weapons with them. We also now know that there are more of these guys from the same group who are also following the advice of their boss. So it makes more sense to get the info from they guy as fast possible on who their boss is in order to snuff out a small fire before things escalate.

This guy is really starting to bug you. As he continues to taunt you about your inevitable fate, you reach down, seize his right hand, and quickly break a finger, causing him to cry out in pain.

"What is your boss's name?" you ask again.

>>1217725

Actually, we should probably just take all the knives before these guys wake up. It'll at least slow them down a little.

Also, can we just pocket one of the knives in case we need a tool later on? Never underestimate an emergency stabby or cutting tool.

"Be glad that's all I broke," you tell him. "Now, where is Charlie?"

The man takes one look at you, gulps, and spills his guts, telling you that Charlie and his boys typically hang out around some empty house on the edge of town. He tells you that he isn't sure Charlie will be there right now, but somebody who knows where he is is sure to be.

You're able to convince him to provide you with an address. And, after knocking him out, you gather up the knives and leave the scene with Aria.

"Nice work, there," she compliments as the two of you walk away.

When you offer her a knife, she looks at it for a moment, shrugs, and takes it just in case. You decide to keep one for yourself and find a way to get rid of the other.

"So, we headin' over?" she asks you.

>A. Yes

>B. No, wait for tomorrow

>C. Something else

>>1217957
>>A. Yes
Let's keep this train a rollin.

>>1217957
>A. Yes

>>1217957
>A. Yes
>C. What do i do with him once i've got him?

Gotta do this before the demon knows what hit him, no time to retaliate against us.

>>1217957
>A. Yes

>>1217960
To specify, i mean are we meant to kill the demon or just hand him over

>>1217957
>>A. Yes
Kick him in the balls

>>1217957
>A. Might as well, strike while the iron is hot
>C. Ask why she was so concerned about that girl being hurt, considering the kinds of stuff she has to deal with due to being a psychopomp. Clarify that it's not a bad thing, just surprising that she isn't more jaded.

>>1217966
...Why?
We have to knock out the guy he's posessing to get the demon out, all you're doing is kicking some (mostly) innocent guy in the dick.

>>1217983
wot

>>1217957
>A. Yes

>>1217986
He was probably a gang leader before being possesed, if you dont think a gang leader deserves to be kicked in the balls you deserve it too

"Yes," you tell her.

"Then let's try and get there 'fore it gets dark," Aria responds, and the two of you break out into a run, making your way across town toward the address in question.

It's nearly an hour before you find the place; a rundown looking home that clearly hasn't seen any inhabitants in a while. Surrounding it are several other homes that don't look much better. This is a crappy neighborhood, and probably quite dangerous to boot. You find yourself glad that you gave Aria a weapon to defend herself with.

"So, how do ye want to handle this?" Aria asks, eyeing the house.

>A. Go knock on the door

>B. Kick the door down

>C. Try sneaking around back

>D. Tell her that it's probably not a good idea for her to stick around

>E. Something else

>>1218029
>C. Try sneaking around back

>>1218029
>C. Try sneaking around back

>>1218029
>E
First use the monocle to see if anyone is inside, and ask her how to use it to see a demon. Should you just make it see through flesh as well?

>>1218029
>E. Look through the walls with our spyglass, see if anyone's inside

>>1218029
these >>1218044 >>1218046

>C.
>E. Pay attention to any footsteps or voices.

We Snek now,

>>1218052
Using it too much will drain our spirit energy though.

>>1218059
Using it a lot will.
A few seconds looking through a wall should take next to nothing.

>>1218060
Keep in mind that you're untrained and only became spiritually aware less than two days ago.

>>1218060
Ideally yeah, just pointing out the drawback. Worst case scenario and all that.

>>1218067

Indeed. We still have our physical senses.

>>1218046
We need to save our energy, let's just be sneaky for now

>>1218046
>>1218050
Reaching into your pocket, you pull out your spyglass, and use it to take a look at the house, focusing on seeing through the walls and windows. You turn your head, moving the eyeglass's focus around the building and getting a glimpse of what's inside.

There seems to be five people in total within the building; two are on the first floor, not far from the front door. One of them is actually right by the window, and may have already spotted you. Three others are upstairs somewhere.

"So, is there a way for me to use this to find out if somebody's a demon?" you ask Aria.

"Not really," she admits to you as you put the spyglass away. "With weak demons, your spiritual awareness should allow ye a glimpse of their true forms, even when they're in disguise, but more powerful or cunning demons in disguise or in human hosts will be much harder to figure out."

>A. Tell her what you see

>B. Tell her to keep back and let you handle this

>C. Go knock on the door

>D. Go sneak around back

>E. Something else

>>1218086
>A. Tell her what you see
>E. Leave for ten minutes, keep an eye on the house to see if anyone leaves.

If that guy spotted us, we won't have surprise on our side, but he'll forget about us rather quickly if we seem to bugger off

>>1218086
This >>1218093

>>1218093
Seconding.

>>1218093
Reasonable.

+1

>>1218086
So our strength is increased now, is there any place where we could climb up to the second floor from the outside?

>>1218130
Personally i'd sneak in through a window on the bottom floor and take out the two guys down there first, since the guys upstairs can't just run out the door.
It may even be able to take out at least one of them relatively silently, barring any sneaky floorboors, just one quick strike to the back of the head to knock them out.

Squeaky floorboards* even
Need coffee.

>>1218093
>>1218098
>>1218102
First thing's first. You tell Aria what you saw through the spyglass, noticing as you do that you're sweating a bit, and breathing just a little heavily. Not the best sign, but you should be just fine so long as you don't do anything stupid.

"Well, hopefully that means Runo hasn't had the chance to gain too many followers," Aria tells you. "Still, I'd be surprised if these ones weren't better armed than the ones we fought earlier."

And, if one's already spotted you, that'll be trouble. You decide to withdraw for a brief period of time, then return to try again.

>End Updates

That's all for tonight, everybody. I hope you all had fun

Follow me @qmdralo to see when I'm running (hopefully tomorrow)

As always, I will stick around for a little while

>>1218162
Good, if we're tired from that sprint, a ten minute break will help a ton before we fight.

>>1218162
break should help. maybe get some food then come back

>>1218162
thanks for running!

>>1218162
What did aria think of the way we handled those thugs?

>>1218173
Hopefully

>>1218178
Might not want to wait that long

>>1218179
Thanks for playing

>>1218181
I mean, she's not a sadistic person, but she thought they were creeps and deserved an ass-whooping. She was also impressed by how quickly you were able to gather information

>>1218178
I wouldn't want aria going off by herself while we watch the house to grab some food in this neighborhood.

>>1218162
I think you already mentioned this before, but does this take place before or after your other Spirit Detective quests?

>>1218191
After, if I decide to ever incorporate shit from those in this.

Will we ever meet Yusuke?

>>1218213
Probably not

>>1218218
Are we giving our reiki a good workout?
Will we get stronger from this?

>>1218240
That would be telling

Man, Yusuke should've thought of something like Will as well and get paid for his work. At least his mom can't complain about steady income from her delinquent son, no matter the source.

>>1218288
Yusuke isn't very smart.

>>1218288
Yusuke was given an ultimatum as far as being detective; work for us, or we take your soul back to Spirit World. Your situation was different, so you were given a choice and better able to negotiate

>>1218297
What happened to the girl we saved? What was she thinking?

>>1218351
She ran away when the fighting started

"Thank God, hope that other guy doesn't get himself killed"

>>1218365
And the guys we beat up?
I assume she called 911.

>>1218367
"What the fuck? How did some kid beat our asses?"

Nope

>>1218371
is that girl gonna recognize us later at school and spread the word that we kick ass?

>>1218387
Yes/probably not

>>1218390
Think she'll say anything to us when we see her again?

>>1218406
Tune in to find out

>>1218411
When's the next episode airing, cause i gotta say, it's got me hooked :^)

>>1218413
Hopefully Wednesday night

>Will accidently builds up a fanbase of girls at school
>He's never had so many girls even think about him, much less in a favorable way

>>1218464
Also, can aria use the spirit gun?
She probably has way more reiki than us right now, if she's at all comparable to botan.

Should make her learn to fight instead of letting her become mostly useless in combat.

>>1218471
There are only two gods in these threads, anon, and you are not one of them

>>1218474
In theory, she could, though she's still not totally used to a mortal body, so she might not be great for combat

>>1218477
What was aria thinking that first night, floating just outside the shack while the sound of splintering wood, angry screams and dying gurgles emanated from within, only to then see a human ripping a bloody 2x4 out of a demon's neck?

>>1218490
"Wow, impressive. This one will be worth keeping an eye on."

>>1218496
>not worried about us at all
>no "oh my god sulton's eating him"
Welp.

>>1218497
She was watching most of it

>>1218501
How? I thought she was waiting outside.
Were there windows in the shack, or just peeking in through missing boards?

its like you had a normal, happy upbringing with a kind and loving family.

you gonna want to cut that shit out. true power in anime comes only from cuteness and suffering.

thankfully SOM can take care of that for you. He comes highly recommended.

>>1218792
Did somebody say suffering?

>>1218505
She was a spirit and could stick her head through the wall if she wanted

>>1218792
Without our parents, what's stopping us from going full recluse edgelord?

>>1218869
Common sense?

>>1218967
But we're a highschool student! How much of that do we really have?

>>1219005
You avoided typical high school bullshit so far, kept to yourself, and learned. So far you seem to be doing okay.

>>1219039
>kept to yourself
Yeah, but that's primarily the issue, we don't really have friends, acquaintances yes-but no close friends, to lean on if we lose those pillars of support especially with how close William seems to be with his parents.

From experience, it's far easier to fall into despair from a situation like that, than it is to bounce back

>>1218869
According to Kek?

We back

Wanting to hopefully regain the element of surprise, Aria and yourself walk away from the property, waiting for a short while in order for whoever is in the house to drop their guard. The plan is to work your way back at that point, and find a way into the house that will catch them off-guard.

Deciding that you've waited long enough, the two of you start heading in the direction of the house.

"So, what's our plan?" Aria asks as the moment of truth draws closer.

>A. Sneak around back and slip inside without being seen

>B. Bust through the front door and attack

>C. Crash through the window and attack

>D. Something else

"We'll sneak around to the back of the house and slip inside without them seeing us," you tell your assistant as the two of you approach the house.

"Alright," Aria says, agreeing to the plan.

The two of you reach the front yard, getting low and creeping toward the wall of the house. Once there, you slowly begin to move around the perimeter of the building, working your way toward the back.

You've nearly reached the back yard, when you hear a voice behind you.

"Hey, what are you kids doin' here?"

Turning around, you find yourself faced with a tall, muscular man in a sleeveless black shirt. His bald head and the tattoos on his arms basically make him a walking stereotype, but all jokes aside, your cover's been blown.

>A. Attack!

>B. Sorry, you didn't think anybody lived here

>C. You're a Spirit Detective, and he's under arrest

>D. Something else

>>1219453
>B. Sorry, you didn't think anybody lived here
Just play dumb, and make him lower his guard.

>>1219453
>>B. Sorry, you didn't think anybody lived here

>>1219456
>>1219461
>>1219462
"Sorry," you say to the man. "I didn't think anybody lived here."

Aria nods in agreement, her voice nervous. "Yes, we thought this house was empty!"

The man crosses his arms, chuckling with amusement at the fearful reaction from the redhead. "That right? My buddy says he saw you two snoopin' around earlier. So, the way I see it, there's two possibilities."

He takes a step forward. "Either you two were thinkin' about ratting us out to the cops, or you were tryin' to see if there was anything in this shitty place worth stealin'."

>A. Well, his first guess was kind of right. You are the cops

>B. He caught you; you were planning to see if there was anything in the house worth stealing

>C. Attack him!

>D. Shrug

>E. Something else
