And like that, the clearing on the forest turned into a theater of supernatural forces, as Luna, on her side, seeks contact and harmony with the spirits of nature, while Líng Jìng extends her youki, a monster's lifeforce, to reach the boy's mind and look into his soul's memory, evading whatever it was that was blocking it.
Luna started her invocation first, while Líng Jìng harnessed her powers with the rich liturgy of her ancient rituals before doing her work.
The wind started gathering around Luna, bringing feminine voices of the spirits with her, more specifically, to Freya, who relates them to her.
"The source of corruption is a foul creature who have taken habitation into the forest, it's motives unknown... The waning of the Moon is the cause of its empowerment (New moon will be in two days, I. e. Wednesday, will be a lunar eclipse). Seek in wet and boggy places deep into the forest, its aura will be more pungent as the Moon dies. We advise the search to be conducted on the fifth hour after sunset of tomorrow, or on the second of Wednesday night... But take care! For albeit it will be easier to find the creature, it will also be more powerful! Finally, follow the frogs ribbit!" The voices finish, dwindling with the music...
With those shenanigans out of the way, it was the time to uncover another truth: the one behind the indecent thefts!
As Líng Jìng finishes her preparations, her third eye wide opened and gleaming an eerie light, she touches Yasuo's forehead with two of her fingers, effectively entering his mind.
As she does, she finds herself in his memories, a space filled with energy strings, each a memory, and after a short search, finds the one she's looking for. After entering it, she watches the scene unfolds: Yasuo talking with the blurry figure. Weirdly, it doesn't seems like the occultation was taking place in the memory, but that it was actually taking place, the figure simply vanishing from existence (on the memory).
She concentrates to dispel the trick with her powers, immaterial hands compressing the diffuse figure into shape, while it also gains colors, and finally, as the work is done, she takes a look... It was a student boy with an evil and lecherous grin, and eyes of a deceiver. His hair tucked back in an almost charming way. The figure didn't seem unfamiliar to her though, thinking she saw him somewhere. As the conversation ends, with him ordering his partner on taking the "goods" from the little fox, he turns and leaves, but not before bringing his hair forward, forming an ordinary bowl-cut, and putting on a pair of round glasses.
As she gets out of Yasuo's mind, her eyes fall instinctively onto Rikishi, who, incidentally was grinning evilly just as the guy from the memory.
"Heh heh, got me!" He says in a shrewd mock-nervousness, while adjusting his glasses, his eyes now looking much sharper than before, giving the girls, specially Hanami, a sinister look.
"The ruse was fun while it lasted though! I'm just sad I couldn't have my hands on any of your goods..." He chuckles.
OOC:
Eltesla is right, weaknesses go to -3 at most, though I won't demand you to roll just this time (not really full of stakes on the action).
She bursts out in laughing.
"You absolutely don't look at all minimally smart to be ahead in school!!"
At Konomi's threat (and actuation) of cursing her, she doesn't get more serious, just shaking her by her collar, playfully.
"Ha ha ha!! You'll curse me? Well, you really don't say that to someone who's holding you by the collar, little gi... Ahh!" She gasps as she's suddenly shoved, the confusion followed by a
"Sorry!! Gotta run!!" As Katsuya from before goes running out of the building, a girl following behind, it was Rika!
"You, give back what you stole, you little rascal!! I'm going to snap your neck!!" To which Katsuya, running in panic, tears tricking down her face, yells:
"I- I already apologized!! It wasn't my fault, I sweaaaaar!!"
