You respond that you're not allowed to go with strangers and you just get the response "Too bad, we're from Central and we're supposed to pay you a visit. You should know what this is about. It's not like we're going to hurt you, so you may as well come with us instead of making this a pain in the ass."

I'm slightly interested and doubt that they're going to harm us, so I think it would be best to just get it over with without making a fuss. Still, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to make sure others are aware of the situation.
>>3030251

>>3030251

You manage to borrow Sakamoto's phone to call Fukuda and tell her about the situation. She sounds pretty angry and asks if you need her to come over with some others and kick their asses for you. You...

You tell Fukuda to come alone after school and she seems to accept it. The rest of the school day goes fairly normally before you exit the school to see the three men in black suits with black sunglasses standing next to Fukuda, arguing.
By the time you walk up to them you Fukuda say "We've gotten to an agreement, we're going to the cafe." You follow the group to the cafe that you've gone to Fukuda once or twice before, you and Fukuda sitting on one side of the table and the three suits sitting on the other side.
The man who seems to be their leader says "To get straight to the point- Who gave you your power?"

You tell them that you really have no idea what they're talking about and they seem frustrated but ultimately helpless. Their leader starts getting up before he says "If you figure out what we're asking there's a 5,000,000 yen deal in store for the person in question. You'd get a cut too." You...

The first sentence isn't a run on sentence due to the usage of before and the latter isn't because of the comma. (Although as stated before, it is supposed to be "with Fukuda", not just Fukuda.)
Whether the sentences are slightly stilted and whether I should break them up more is debatable, but they're grammatically correct.

>5 million buy you a lot of magnets, surely will help you cheat in the next underground fighting tournament.

>>3030526
You respond with a quip about how many magnets they could buy with 5,000,000 yen. The man sighs and shakes his head dejectedly before writing down a cellphone number on a slip of paper and handing it to you. He says "Call this number if you remember anything." and leaves the cafe. As you watch him leave he looks you in the eyes through the window of the cafe. You see him grab a 100 yen coin out of his pocket before sending it flying through the air far faster than Gato possibly could. The coin hits a fire hydrant, only stopping once it's embedded in the metal itself. You see the man say something to the other two men before one of them speaks into a walkie-talkie. This is followed by an expensive looking car pulling up to pick the three up. As you turn back to Fukuda you see her face twisted in shock and confusion (or at least the parts of it that she can move with her jaw wired) before she goes "How the fuck did he send the coin flying that fast? How can he afford a car like that? I guess it's good we didn't piss him off, but he rubs me the wrong way for some reason." You...

Fukuda shrugs in response to your question and says "I wouldn't know if you did something that would make them think you had some sort of power, I was knocked out. You said that weird stuff happens around you sometimes when I asked, it's probably something like that."
You then head over to the library and tell Kurosaki that you cheated by tripping the other kid. His response is a confused "Eh? Cheated? Tripping someone should have been perfectly legal by the rules, why would it have been cheating?"

I just don't see what we gain by concealing exactly what they are from Kurosaki.

>>3030653

You clarify for Kurosaki that you're talking about the point where the kid tripped over nothing and tell him about your powers in detail. He rubs his chin for a moment while thinking for a moment before going "Ah, so that's what was working against Goto as well. That also should have been what helped you resist Kanozaki's killing intent and why your mind visualized the resistance as a wall of arms." Kurosaki's eyes then brighten up and he says "If you can learn how to control the arms independently you could be a marital arts grandmaster." He then seems to realize something and goes "Er, not that you have to be. You could do plenty of things with that. Sorting paperwork at ridiculous speeds, becoming a mangaka who could draw multiple series at once, maybe being some sort of supertalented pilot." in a far less enthused tone than before. Kurosaki follows this up by saying 'I'll keep my eye out for any scriptures that would explain why this would be. The only guess I can hazard would be that your soul was strengthened by some sort of extremely special art utilizing chi in the womb, but that would almost certainly kill the fetus. The Buddhists might chalk it all up to 'karma', but that seems dumb to me. Anyways, try to keep your ability under wraps so that you don't get into trouble with it."

You tell Kurosaki that you didn't cheat against Goto, preserving Murata's honor, and he smiles and says "That little shit had it coming to him, but sure, his honor was preserved." That didn't sound very warrior-like.
You ask Kurosaki what you should do regarding Central and explain the situation. He says "Well... it's up to you to be honest. It's your power and it doesn't look like they're aiming to harm the owner, so you could hear them out and possibly make some money if you want. If it's too much trouble, then just ignore them. If they try to bother you about it with anything beyond talking you can just tell them that you have the backing of Murata Kurosaki and that Yashiro Kanozaki and Endo will come after them if anything happens to you." You head back to the orphanage afterwards and...

When you ask why he just says that he's going to know English better than any of your teachers so he may as well give you more notes now. You then ask Mark for notes on Calculus and he just confusedly goes "But you don't need to know that yet. I mean, if you really want some Fukuda has them, but why?"

You get the Calculus notes from Fukuda and are very, very confused. Fukuda is also slightly confused, but given the fact that your full math knowledge only reaches vague concepts of multiplication and division, you're far more confused than Fukuda.
The rest of the day passes pretty quickly and the next day it's time to head over to Fukuda's for that barbecue. You show up and see that there are about 20 or 30 people there. Quite a few of them look foreign.

You ask why her jaw isn't wired up and she says "It's the 4th of July, if I had to eat liquid food at this barbecue I may as well off myself. So while my jaw PROBABLY isn't completely fine, it's good enough. Probably. The doctor consented to taking it off."
You then ask when all the explosions are and she says that they're at night before grumbling about "conservative Japanese firework regulations".

You eat food and follow Fukuda around for the time being. The food there mostly consists of chips, burgers, hotdogs, and watermelon, and there's a lot of it.
After a while you see well built, slightly drunk man in camo come up to Fukuda and say "Hey, Fukuda, Kinji, Kemura, what's up." Kenji and Kimura correct him but he either doesn't seem to care or notice. Fukuda says "Hey dad." and before she can say anything else he asks if she wants to play paintball against him tomorrow. Fukuda, Kimura, and Kenji all seem VERY scared by this proposition and manage to dissuade him after several minutes.
The man turns to you and then is like "Uh... you're... Buki-chan, right? Nice to meet you, I'm Fukuda's dad, Makoto." You...

It's three words and you can only tell that it starts with America and ends with yeah.
You then tell him you want to play paintball too and a devious smile covers his face. Fukuda, Kenji, and Kimura look at you, very scared, as he says "Yeah, it'll be me versus you four, doesn't that sound fun?" before walking off, depriving Fukuda of the chance to argue. They seem scared. You...

You practice your harmonica, making decent progress in learning how to make it sound less offensive to the ear. At some point someone comes up to you and gestures for you to give them the harmonica for a moment before they play a lovely blues tune. Huh, so THAT'S how you're supposed to play it.
It's pretty late after your harmonica odyssey and it's time for the fireworks. Fukuda shows you where they are and you see a lot of large cardboard boxes and some weird small tower shaped things. You hear Fukuda mutter something about the police coming again with Mexican fireworks before the smallest fireworks begin being lit off.
The smallest fireworks seem pretty impressive and are very loud. Some of the fireworks don't have any pretty colors like the rest of them and are JUST loud. Guess that's what America likes. Eventually the fireworks are several times larger than anything you thought hypothetically possible and the police show up before quickly leaving after seeing the party. You're unsure whether they're too scared of the guests to intervene or know one of them.
The fireworks are over and Fukuda starts walking you home because "that's when they get wild". You had a fun pretty fun day and saw more explosions than were probably legal in this country.
You wake up the next day and the next couple of weeks pass pretty fast. Eventually it's July 18th, a couple of days before finals. In your spare time in the pass few weeks you've been...

rolling a 1d2 to choose which one between "Studying" and "Practicing with your powers" takes up two slots of time.

>>3033395
combine the power practice to do it with Kurosaki

>>3033395
You start practicing a bit more with Kurosaki, fired up slightly by both the fighting tournament and the appearance of Central. In tandem with this you continue exercising a decent amount.
You practice your kanji after school with Sakamoto, as is tradition, and realize that you're probably way past the material you need to learn at this point combined with reading and all that.
You read through the first volume of "Journey to the West", and it's pretty good. A rather difficult read for you, but good nonetheless. You're still not sure whether this inspired Dragon Ball or if it was the other way around.
You continue talking with your classmates just enough to maintain your role as the most popular of the three "class heads" (An unofficial title for the most popular in a class. Much like a hydra, if one disappears several take their place in a power struggle.) Your position is pretty firmly entrenched and the other two class heads don't harbor thoughts of contending with you for the time being.
You study, forcing Mark to provide notes for you, although he notes that you're pretty well prepped for what comes ahead since "most people in elementary school don't study at all". [this was the -1]
You practice with your powers in attempts to multitask and start gaining some proficiency in it. You can easily have one of the arms do things in the corner of your eye if you need sight to do it (something like sorting) or out of sight if it's feasible to work solely off of their dulled sense of touch. To do so with another arm will take a bit of work. [this was the -2]
And so the practice test passed, the grades quickly being released. You got ranked 4th out of 120, with your results being: 2nd/120 Japanese, 15th/120 English, 4th/120 History, 6th/120 Science, and 5th/120 Math. You note that Nakano got 1st in every subject. It's rather dark, but it seems that her mom did get her intended result in the end.

She swears out someone named "Ando" several times, who you recall being the person who beat her at the last track meet you went to. Almost every time Ando is mentioned some angry comment about how someone can run that fast with oversized breasts accompanies it. It seems like Kaneko takes personal offence at Ando's bodily attributes for some reason.
Eventually the conversation ends and you begin hiking again. On your way to the next rest stop...

>>3033931
...you get lost. Oh dear. The path was so overgrown that it was hard to even tell if you were still on it at a few points and it seems you wandered off of it. You did find a very pretty lake, but once you found it you guys were certain you were off course, as there weren't supposed to be any on the route. You...

>>3033941
You try to find your way back with Kaneko and feel like you're getting closer to the trail, but see a large, decapitated house on your way. You...

>>3033942

>Check out the house, we have time
Let's go on an adventure!

>>3033944
You near the large, dilapidated house and see that overgrown plants rule the yard, with a rusty fence surrounding the property. The remnants of what looks to have been a flowerbed are on the ground, as well as few gravel paths that are barely visible. There are also some garden gnomes with faded paint that has begun to peel off of them.
The house itself is made of wood with the paint faded and peeling, but seems to be structurally sound. You go towards the front door and find that it's unlocked. Upon opening it you find yourself in a small entryway, a coat rack to your right and a shoe box to your left. A dirty welcome mat lies below your feet.
In front of you is a staircase and there are doors to your left and right. Kaneko looks around before noting that everything is ridiculously dusty. You...
>Yell "Is anybody there?"

>Head down the stairs

but yeah, *dilapidated, oops

>>3033948
>Yell "Is anybody there? And if you're a ghost, knock once if you're here, twice if not"

>>3033952
You hear one knock and quickly begin swiveling around in search of the ghost before you hear Kaneko go "OOooooOOOOHHH, I'M A SCARY GHOST!" Oh, so it was her. You...
>Head up the stairs
>Head down the stairs
>Begin exploring the first floor

>>3033955
>Knock with your invisible arms on the floor next to her twice, and act as if you'd believe the knocking ghost to not be here

>>3033959
You knock with your invisible arms and after a moment you hear Kaneko say "Was that you?" You simply respond "Was what me?" and see her look around the room in confusion before eventually moving closer to you while stretching her legs. You...

>>3033986
You brush a hand against Kaneko's shoulder before you begin exploring. She jumps and seems very scared for a moment before you hear her mutter "It was just the wind."
You begin looking through the first floor of the house and in all the rooms there's one constant: They're very dusty. It doesn't seem like anyone has been here in ages. As far as you can tell the furniture seems to be pretty expensive, although not all of it is in the best shape. Eventually you come across a laundry room and find a pretty nice looking ring on top of the washer (which is still full of an old woman's clothes, also covered in dust. You...
>Take the ring, it's not like anyone else is going to want it. This place looks like nobody has lived in here for decades.
>Leave it, it's not yours.

Besides that on the first floor you see a couple of vases that have very nice craftsmanship. You...
>Propose to Kaneko that she should put them in her hiking backpack
>Leave them

After that you...

>Go upstairs

>>3033993

>>3034031
>>3034034
>>3034037
You ask the ghost if it's fine to take the ring and there doesn't seem to be any response. You suppose that the ghost, if they exist, doesn't care and you put it into your pocket. Later you then suggest that Kaneko put a couple of vases into her hiking bag, but before she does she asks the ghost if it's fine. Once again there is no response. She puts them into her backpack and...
>You head upstairs
>You head downstairs
>Other

>>3034264
>>You head upstairs

>>3034309
You head upstairs and begin going through the rooms. There are less than downstairs and they're mostly bedrooms. Eventually you find yourself in an office and note that there are several empty easels and a bust of a woman on the desk.
On the desk is a wallet, a piece of a paper, and a weird stamp. The wallet has about 200,000 yen in it and an ID. The ID has a picture of the woman on the bust and a birthdate of 1920. The note next to it is stamped and says "whoever finds this can have anything just please find my art a good home goodbye". As you lift your eyes from the note the bust seems to glance at you for a moment. Before you can say anything about it Kaneko screams and goes "THE BUST! THE BUST LOOKED AT US! DID YOU SEE THAT?" You respond that you indeed did see the spooky bust and...
>Propose that you leave immediately.
>Ask the ghost if you can have the money.
>Ask the ghost if you can take the bust.
>Other

>>3034350
>Ask the ghost if you can take the bust.
>Ask if you take the money
>Take the stamp
"Will you be my ghost friend?"
I haven't given up on befriending spooks.

Is the bust also a part of her art? I assume the vases are. Also we should thank her.

>>3034447
The ghost doesn't say anything at your repeated questions as to whether you can take things, and so now Kaneko is stuck carrying around a stone bust of the woman. You thank the ghost before you grab the stamp. Kaneko asks to look at that for a moment before you let her.
Kaneko looks at the stamp before you hear her say "Isn't this a seal? You're only supposed to use this on official documents. Wait a minute, would that make that her..." Kaneko trails off and doesn't say anything else before handing the stamp back to you.
You ask the ghost if it'll be your ghost friend. You don't hear any response, but hopefully it heard you. You...
>Ask Kaneko what that would make the note [2d100, advantage]

You ask Kaneko and she goes "Well, if it has an official seal and is on it and it regards what she does with her possessions... doesn't it seem a lot like a will? I'm not sure why she wouldn't just make a normal one, maybe she didn't have anyone to pass the stuff down to."
After that you and Kaneko search the room more thoroughly, eventually finding some fancy looking cigars and sketching kit. You also find a pretty well-made rucksack under the desk, which is helpful since you didn't bring a bag with you and it looks like you'll be leaving with a lot. You...
>Ask the ghost if you can take [items]
>Leave the room to search the rest of the upstairs
>Other

>>3034523
>Leave the room to search the rest of the upstairs
Well it said we can take anything, so we might as well what we can.

>>3034575
You decide that asking the ghost whether you can take stuff is superfluous and put what you find into the rucksack. Nothing seems to change, so that's good.
You finish searching the second floor and find a bedroom that looks more lived in than the others. There are lots of rather moth-eaten clothes in the closet and more furniture lying around. than in the other bedrooms You find some well-done wood carvings and put them into your rucksack as well. As you're about to leave the room you come across a diary sitting next to a dried up inkwell.
You open the diary and you see that the first date is from 1976. It has intermittent entries from what you assume is the owner of this house up until 1985.
The writer appears to be a depressed and lonely artist, and on occasion laments her decision not to marry. Some of the only other people mentioned in her diary are a few contacts who come out occasionally and buy art from her to pass off as their own for what's implied to be rather large sums of money. The last entry in the diary simply says:
"I wish I had published my own pieces. Been brave enough to try for fame. Been brave enough to try for anything. I've told them that I won't be providing anymore pieces and claimed to retire. I will be retiring, in a way. Goodbye - Yokoyama Sachiko"
Huh, well that's depressing. After you finish reading this a framed painting loudly falls for no reason you can see. Err, you guess you're supposed to take that too. By this point Kaneko looks very scared. You're also a bit spooked, but considering that you can spook others, it's not too bad. You...
>Leave, this is getting creepier than expected.
>Go to the basement.

>>3034613
>examine the fallen frame, she obviously wants us to have it
>Go to the basement.

Rolled 13, 70 = 83 (2d100)

You examine the frame of the fallen painting and see that it's carved from wood and has "Day in the Woods" engraved on it. The painting itself is a drawing of what you assume to be the forest outside. You can the "Yokoyama Sachiko" scribbled in the bottom right corner of the painting.
You head towards the basement and feel the temperature begin to drop slightly, although that might just be the airflow in the house. You begin walking down the stairs to the basement, the stuffy air feeling slightly more constricting than it would be otherwise. You reach the bottom of the stairs before you see what seems to be an art studio full well-preserved paintings, sketches, and the like. More important, however, is the face that there's a skeleton hanging from a rope in the center of the room. Below the skeleton is a knocked over stool. You...

Rolled 8 (1d100)

>>3036560
...immediately run towards the door to the first floor with Kaneko following behind you. You grab at the door before you realize that it's locked and hear a voice in your ears mutter. "No. Take it. Send it out into the world. Set my regrets free little one." You...

We're gonna have a fucking heart attack because of the god damn dice.

...are panicked even more by the voice and begin knocking on the door with all of your hands, visible and otherwise. You feel the temperature in the basement drop further and indiscernible muttering can be heard through your ears. The shadows seem to shift slightly, almost as if they're unsettled by what's happening. Kaneko comes up from behind you and begins slamming on the door itself.
Sense is able to take over from fear for a moment and you realize that things have gone worse than you expected. You...

You apologize for freaking out, not really being able to hide your fear, and ask the ghost what it wants. Kaneko is still knocking at the door. You just hear a loud shriek of "TAKE IT! TAKE ITTTTTTTTTTT!" as you see paintings literally begin floating up the stairs at you. They move towards you at a rate fast enough to hurt, but not to cause any serious danger, You...

>>3036600
Try to grab them yourself but end up not having great control of your arms due to how scared you are. Instead of catching the paintings they slam against the wall and break besides the one flying towards you which socked you in the face.
You hear a loud scream of "MY ART! MY ARTTTTTTTTT!" as the temperature of the basement drops to near freezing and the light you turned on upon entering begins flickering. A wind begins to inexplicably pick up and screaming you can't understand can be heard in the background. Eventually you hear Kaneko yell "THE DOOR! I GOT THE DOOR!" as you hear a crack from behind you. You...

You talk to the ghost and tell it that you just want to help it, and that if it kicks you out the rest of its art won't find homes. The house returns to normal but you don't hear any response from the ghost.
You slowly head down into the basement, but it doesn't do anything. In the basement you see a lot of tipped over furniture littering the ground, but five sketches and paintings are untouched, as well as a couple pieces of ceramics in the middle.
You and Kaneko very carefully put them into your packs and begin to leave. Seemingly as if to pout you're pretty sure the ghost trips you and Kaneko a few times on the way out, leaving with both with some bruises. Huh, so this is how it feels to be your victim.

You and Kaneko go to find your way back to the path. When you feel like you're almost back you realize that you're back to the lake you were originally at and just walked in a circle. Kaneko seems extremely unamused by this and the sun going to start to set soon. You...

Due to a fair share of luck you manage to find a short path out of the woods with some clear landmarks to lead the way through the trees. It doesn't cut through the trail at all and simply leads to a road with a few buildings on it. It probably won't take too long to get there if you get started now. You...

Kaneko, still shaken by what happened in the mansion, allows (or, rather, forces) you to keep all of the art and such, only keeping half of the money and one of the cigars to give to her dad. You agree to part ways with Kaneko there and begin making your way back to the orphanage, your hands helping to lug the heavy knack sack behind you. Eventually you reach the orphanage and fall asleep like a brick.

You go to Fukuda's house with the large knapsack in tow and see Fukuda lazing around the house loudly talking about how great it is to not go to school. You say hi to her as you go in and bring the knapsack full of art to Mark before showing the pieces to him.
Mark looks at them all before going "I don't recognize the artist, but what I find interesting is that they're able to do so many styles at such a high level. I'm surprised that I haven't heard of them." As you go to leave his room one of the wooden carvings, a dragon, seems to work against you when putting it back into the bag. You...
>Give it to Mark, that means this one wants to stay here, right?

You tell Kanozaki about your lovely trip to the ghost mansion and about the woman and he rubs his short beard for a moment before going "Ah, so that's it. Well, this traces of lingering will aren't dangerous currently, but depending on the surrounding environment and so-forth they could mutate and form a malicious will. On the flip side, they could also become a lucky item. It's a matter of chance really. Do you want me to get someone to purify these and sell them off to collectors? Nobody would get haunted, you'd make a bit of money even after the purification fees, and they'd find good homes." You...

Kurosaki responds "Well, you could sell them without purification but I cannot in good conscience let you do that to anyone who isn't well acquainted with spirits and such due to the danger it may pose, however minor. As for the ghost itself, I don't think it would even know that its will had been erased from the pieces. The will in it currently is less of a conscious thing and more of a remnant of the fact that it was so highly looked after by the spirit itself." You...

"Whether a piece becomes auspicious or inauspicious to the owner depends on the owner, the nature of the object itself, the environment, and all sorts of different variables. Even the people who specialize in this can't get it right every time. Sometimes pieces will try to indicate a spot, that's one of the only times when an auspicious piece is nearly guaranteed, assuming the environment stays mostly constant while its nature is being altered."

You spend the rest of the day practicing the harmonica, the sound angering less people this time. You wonder how long it took that one guy to get the hang of this, instruments are hard.
You wake up in the morning and it's the first day of summer vacation. You have about forty days of freedom to yourself! The sun is up and you see that most of the kids are out and about, although Hikaru is currently just sitting on his bed messing with that weird board game of his. You...

You play the harmonica throughout the morning and into the afternoon. You note that Hikaru chooses to find a different place to do whatever he's doing after around twenty minutes of this. Oh well, practice makes perfect.
After eating lunch you...

You call Fukuda up and see if she's doing anything related to paintball or laser tag soon. She says "I was gonna practice with Kenji and Kimura tomorrow, you can join us at paintball then. It'll cost a bit but we can lend you a gun."
Well, looks like you found something to do tomorrow. In the meantime you...

You play the harmonica even more, realizing that the fastest way to get better is to play. For an entire day. By the end of the day your lips are very dry and everyone is very tired of hearing the harmonica. They would've asked you to stop at some point, but apparently decided better of it.
It's the morning on the next day and you're going to play paintball this afternoon. Until then you...

>>3042427
You head over to the North's base, blowing on your harmonica on the way there. You walk in, once again, to see their leader singing his heart out at karaoke.
You inquire as to whether there are an miscellaneous acts of vigilantism you can commit and get the response that while they would always appreciate attacks against opposing gangs, that's probably not what you're looking for. While trying to figure out what gangs fall under "opposing gangs", you get the response "all of them except the Souths". Well then.
After a lovely morning lazing around the North's base you make your way to play paintball with Fukuda. You...
>Are going to rent your equipment and borrow a gun from Fukuda [-3500 yen, +rentals and enough ammo for a session]
>Will buy equipment and borrow a gun from Fukuda [-23000 yen, +paintball mask, pads, neck protector, thin vest for absorbing impacts, enough ammo for a session]
>Other
Once you make your way to the paintball place you see Fukuda, Kimura and Kenji there. Kimura and Kenji are seemingly less scared than before. You're not sure if they've gotten over their fear somehow or if it's because they're doing something they're good at soon. You...

>>3042551
You buy your equipment and then ask Fukuda why Kenji and Kimura seem scared all of the time. Fukuda responds that it's generally normal to be scared of someone after they mug you with a small horde. You can't really object to this.
When you ask Fukuda what exactly your goal is besides shooting people and no getting shot she responds that... that's basically it for today. There are other gamemodes like capture the flag, but Fukuda was just planning on doing deathmatches for the day.
You get ready to play your first match of the day and volunteer to...

You wait in ambush for the other team in the middle of a bush. It turns out that while the other group can't see you, you can't really see them either. After about 30 minutes of sitting in a bush the game is over. The first game goes past without you seeing any action, but Fukuda, Kenji, and Kimura have won without any casualties.
During the next game you...

You charge into the fray with a sort of paintball assault rifle with Fukuda. Kenji and Kimura stay a bit behind you, keeping the enemy team down with SUPPRESSING FIRE as you dash towards their cover. The other team is left unable to retaliate as you and Fukuda close in on their cover.
Fukuda and you leap over the short wall they're hiding behind and unleash a spray of paintballs in their direction. You end up getting three of them in a spray of godly luck while Fukuda knocks the other one out of the game.
Fukuda gives you a fist bump, having killed the enemy team in a blitkrieg offensive of record time.
For the other three games of the day you...

You use this and manage to ambush five people across two games. You have a promising future in paintball if you ever have nothing else to do.
You part ways with Fukuda and go to bed for the day. The next morning one of the caretakers at the orphanage says they need to see you. You...

...are led to a room that the children normally aren't allowed into and see the man who asked you who you got your powers from before. He's dressed in a nice black suit, the same as before, and he has a genial smile on his face.
Before the woman from the orphanage can really talk to you the man waves her off and says "I'll explain it to her myself, you don't have to trouble yourself." The caretaker leaves and the man says "So, I did some research after last time. You're an orphan, huh? What if I adopted you, would you tell me who gave me your powers then? You can live in a big house, go to a private school, get decent food and clothes, and if you want I can have a position in Central open for you when you're older. All you have to do is tell me whose power it is. We need to work with them." You...

You see the man frown and seemingly think for a moment before he sighs. He says "Well, it probably wouldn't hurt to tell a kid, even if you are connected with the gangs. Based on our limited experience, people with powers should be able to pass their powers onto others, albeit in a weakened form. It'd help if we could hire them to work for us too, but even if we could just get them to lend it out to us everyone involved would benefit." You...

>I want a nice family with a loving mom and dad, not a single 20-something who is only interesting in me for some arbitrary reason

Before we decide anything else, we need to take time to plan ahead at least a little.
This guy is definitely not giving up anytime soon, should we just keep the lie we already have or just say that we got the powers but we don't know who gave them to us?
Or does anyone want this guy to adopt us?
Just my personal opinion, but the latter sounds like a bad idea.

>>3043248

of course not
and we have Kurosakis and Kanozakis protection

>>3043248

>>3043220

>>3043671
You decline his offer to adopt you and tell him that you still don't know what he's talking about. You follow that up by noting that you want a family to adopt you, not a 20-something with ulterior motives. You can see the man frown again before he takes a deep breath and walks over to a window, opening it before lighting himself a cigarette. After a moment he turns back towards you and says "What the hell do you want. I can give you money, a family, power, whatever you fucking want. I'm not the most powerful man in the world, but I'm the leader of a group barely smaller than yakuza organizations in size and influence. I can afford to reward you handsomely for this. With whatever the hell this power is, we should be able to break into the realm of normal yakuza easily. Just tell me what the hell you want!" He stands there, exasperated and you...

and I want a second on that, don't want to decide by myself

>>3043956
what I plan to say is pretty much the same as we told Fukuda.
strange things happen around us, sometimes intentionally. like people tripping or their eyes hurting.
but we're an orphan, we don't even know whom we have our hair and eye colors from
at the tournament we heard the first time about powers

We get money for the information, right? I guess we could tell them and just refuse to let them use our powers, but I'm worried they may be able to force us.

>>3043975
If we do tell him anything, we could totally have them renovate that mansion, if the ghost doesn't mind.

>>3043954
that's a little bit too much. we have no real use for money so far and no account

He's asking a six year old orphan "who gave her magical powers", we could easily just say "I don't remember" and this guy would just have to give up unless he has some ulterior motives for talking to us.

I was planning on updating in about 90 minutes, but I can wait if you guys are still discussing stuff then. What decision are you guys leaning towards?
>>3044184
if you guys choose to get the money you could just get a prepaid card with whatever amount of money on it instead of carrying it all in cash

You tell him that you'd remember if you got 1,000,000 yen and the man smiles and says "I knew you wanted something, give me one second." before pulling out his cell phone and quickly dialing a number. He then simply says "Deliver a prepaid card with 1,000,000 yen to me within 10 minutes." before hanging up. After that he says "Your payment will be here in 10 minutes or less, tell me about it in the meantime."
You tell him that strange things happen around you, sometimes intentionally and sometimes unintentionally, but you don't know where your powers come from. The man frowns and you hear him mutter "Unintentionally? I was well past that by the time I was six or seven." before he looks at you for a moment and says "So, that means you awakened to it yourself then, since it'd be ridiculous to think that someone managed to lend you a power in secret for years without you finding out. Now that we've got that out of the way, are you willing to help us out? All you'd have to do is come down once every week or so after I teach you how to lend out powers and let two of our guys borrow it. You'd still be able to use it yourself, it'd just be weakened slightly. Maybe 20%-30% all things considered."
Around this time you hear someone walk up to the door and the man in front of you says "Come in, the card is for them." before you get handed a shiny plastic card and are given a short explanation on how to use it. You...

Just... don't go around and lend this power to anyone who might be going up against us like the Norths or the Souths or whoever exactly you're friends with. If you do that we might have a problem, and I don't want to have to deal with that bullshit." He says goodbye and you go back to your activities for the day. You...

Ah, yes, as the Mountain of Inukawa. Did I tell you about that time I...."

Actually, you'll keep talking with Kurosaki. You ask him what he would do if he could live life again and all you can really hear is some quiet breathing for about a minute before you hear him say "Kanozaki would've been fine going to Chiba without me, I should've went to that wet t-shirt contest. Oh, and I would've never got into collecting pet rocks. That was a dumb fad and I should've known better. Beanie babies too. That, and I would've made sure I bought that motorcycle in 63' before it went way up in price! Now I want one and the damn thing is way too costly for me to bother with. That's all I can think of besides a few miscellaneous deaths. Oh, wait, wait, I would've GM'd that campaign back in 93' better, I should've never let that bard bastard abuse suggestion so much.

You get a book from the library to assist you and practice your harmonica for the rest of the day. Greeted by this familiar sound, the rest of the children decide to play outside. You use this opportunity to see if you're able to play your harmonica with your invisible arms, but, uh, all you can really do is hold the harmonica with them.

You read various books at the library, the content doesn't really matter. Some manga here, a few nonfiction books there, whatever seems interesting.
You keep up your extra practice with Kurosaki and your exercise with Kaneko. You stay in pretty good shape for a six year-old and Kurosaki tells you that he'll start teaching you "some of the moves that actually have names".
You have Mark and Fukuda help you with your ENGLISH, although you may or may not be learning some slang in the process. You're unsure, but at least you aren't saying "y'all". Nakano helps you study a bit over break. She's seemingly still much smarter than you even though she doesn't seem to be studying that much now that her mother is gone. You guess some people are just talented.
You also spend some time having fun over break, hanging out with your inner circle from school and such. In the process you spend a few thousand yen on a cute swimsuit and put it with the rest of your stuff.
You also grab some cool looking dolls that you can put on your hands for 4000 yen. There's one of a frog, one of a pig, and one of some weird prawn thing.

Ah, you just remembered what you practiced for the past couple of weeks, it was producing more arms. You're still quite a ways from the fourth arm. With this rate of practice you'll get the fourth arm in somewhere from 4-6 weeks.
As for the style of harmonica you want to play, you'll chase after those lovely Irish tunes. They tend to be very in your face, so they fit you just fine.
While standing in front of Cafe Starlight with Mark you see someone in a shrine maiden costume. You immediately recognize it to be Aizawa. You guess Sakamoto ended up giving that outfit to her, although it looks modified. Mark waves his hand towards Aizawa and says "Hey, you're the first one here. Guess you're cosplaying as Reimu this year Xydria?" You...

You loudly go "Hey Aizawa-sensei! Why are you wearing that outfit?" before you see her turn to you, a look full of disbelief on her face as she stares at you. She stammers out something about how adults like to play dress-up too and that the outfit is for Comiket. You're not sure if you get it, but whatever, as long as she's happy. Mark and Aizawa then begin making smalltalk over some stuff you don't understand, but you listen in anyways.
After about ten more minutes around five more people arrive, some in normal clothes, some dressed up like Aizawa-sensei. One of them looks like Goku and you're debating whether it's the real one or not in your head, they look exactly like the one from the manga. You're pretty sure it's the real one. You...

If powers truly can be transferred...

You demand that they teach you how to do instant transmission but they tell you that your chi isn't strong enough. Darn, if only you were able to use chi. Maybe if you called Kurosaki over he'd be able to learn it. As the group begins walking into the cafe you...
