You mean I can finally meet kyu-chan? Le gasp. Hell yeah! So if we get a retainer does that mean being an onmyodo gives us the same power as a noble?

I don’t think so. I think it means we will have another watcher, who will put us down if we try to escape.

Well I mean that’s probably true too but I wasn’t really thinking about what the retainer is supposed to do more what they represent.

Updated~ I was originally just going to update 10k words C: but decided to just upload the 15k words that were done.
Happy bug hunting everyone~

Do tell me what you think about the story,
which part’s your favourite and what do you think is going to happen next? I would like to hear your theories and ideas.

And who knows, it might end up as an actual part of the story.

PS. I feel like summoning 12 moderators at once is a bit too much for something so small TwwwT if any of the moderators see this, requesting to change the OP into a wiki edit >w<

I liked the new update a lot! I was a little bit irked by some of the grammar, but I understand that English isn’t your native language, and it can be hard to spot every flaw. I like our mentor, she’s coolio. The excessive use of tilde did make me pause for a bit. Is there going to be a lot of it? I don’t mind one like “Hey~”, but something like “Hey~~~~~” seems a little over the top in my honest opinion. I know Sibyl does it a lot in your other work, but still.

I did receive an error right after I allowed Haruka to use her powers, so I found one bug at least. I also found this right before that choice: ${tanshehe} I should’ve taken a screenshot, but I felt like it was something one can find in the code because it’s very close to the end. If not, I could play through and see if I find it again.

@Ros_e Found an error for you.

Thank you >www< I checked the files again and I tried to avoid using ay extra tlides for Yugen cause I didn’t want it to clash with Sibyl. And I found that I did use it for when the mentor first appeared, and have removed the extra tlides >www< thanks for telling me about them.

And got it~ I think I found all the errors and fixed them.

Got it, and fixed TwT I even ran quicktest so many times even after it passed and yet some errors like this still came up.

Hooray! An update!

I found a typo on this part

[spoiler] Isamu was fast and agile, he was running towards the outskirt of town. There was already a list of Yokai forming in my head; Kitsune, Amemasu, or even a Jogorumo. All three had known behaviors of seducing young men.

"You have earned your rightful place as an Onmyoji. Dismiss.
“A wagon is ready at your disposal, we await your results. Dismiss.”
It should be Dismissed on both cases…

You’re the first visitor I had for a while. What is a human doing here?" Hiss smirk was dangerously alluring.
Just His on this part

[/spoiler]

Also, I seemed to find a problem regarding motives

I smiled, regardless of how everything went, my mission was a succeed. I was one step closer to realizing my motives.
Considering Isamu had just revealed that the mother is dead, maybe the MC need to decide another motive at this point?
Also, the MC seem to be moving on from their mother’s death a bit too quickly for my liking, being mostly happy and smiling uncontrollably after becoming an omnyouji, when my MC’s main motivation is to find their mother, who is now dead

I also found an error after choosing “Let Haruki use his powers, I trust him.”

Many things are happening! So excited :grin:

EDIT: Missing part here?

[spoiler] “I, Rkuemon no Kyouran will repay my debt to you, MC.” He

9 white tails spurted themselves on the back of Kyouran, all at once. Red markings started to surface on the kitsune’s face. [/spoiler]

Found some parts that repeat or rather are the same thing, but different versions. :slight_smile:

Did you happen to get to this part? Or did it jumped?

I just kept denying them. My mother had defied the Imperial law, I should have known better, she wasn’t going to be let off the hook without any form of penalty.
All I have were just those faint memories of her and they were enough to keep me going.

With the MC having grown up in the castle, I personally think he/she knew in the back of his/her head, that their mother is actually dead. They were just denial and needed to hold on to something to go on.

And after discovering the truth it should feel like an uncertainty had been answered.

But you have a point too, I will add a more in-depth reaction to those who had choosen to look for their mothers as their main objective :blush:

I replayed the part where Haruki use his powers, and chose the “because I had no choice option”, and then that part appeared after releasing the Kitsune

Did it somehow teleported you back to the mother stuff after the release of kitsune?

I’m looking through it right now. :scream:

Oh no I must’ve missed that part as I was reading quickly! I read it again, no problems there. I misunderstood your question before :sweat_smile:

All this time I thought the samurai RO will be Isamu, but is it Daisetsu instead?

:blush: No problem~

I wanted to see how the readers/players reacted to both the samurais. C:
But in my initial plans, Daisetsu was planned to be the one going on disciple trial with the MC and Isamu was to be introduced much later. But while writing I realized having Isamu being the first escort would make a stronger impact on the experience so I rewrote the draft and completely changed the story flow xD.

I wonder if Isamu will be more popular or Daisetsu. xD

Well it is still to early to tell, since we only interacted with them very briefly, but I find myself preferring Daisetsu for now, since I the like stoic, but shy characters, and also since both him and MC are new to the scene and will be together at all times, it gives them more chances to bond. Being close to MC’s age also helps :grin:
