Rikia's dates

Leader, tell me... Who's the sweetest girl in the world?

If you even dare to mention anyone else, you'll regret it!

Any questions? Now that you've summoned Rikia, you have no choice! Tell me I'm the kindest and sweetest witch in the world!

I won't accept any other answer!

Good job, Leader. That's the right answer for the secret activation code!

Activation successful! Congratulations on recruiting the cutest and kindest witch, Rikia! Of course, if you answer incorrectly, you may unleash the full force of Evil Rikia, and you wouldn't want that!

You'll have to take full responsibility for the consequences, Leader!

Hmph! You're not only on good terms with SEED, you're also currying favor with Liberos?

It's nice to see you're truly striving for greatness, Leader, but the road ahead won't always be so smooth. Since I met you here alone, are you ready to face this little witch all by yourself?

Hmph! Don't act like such a big shot! If that's all you've got, how can you even call us allies?

If you want to partner up with a witch, you'll have to pass all manner of trials. First of all, you can't be working with SEED!

Although, Yuffie did tell me to try to get along with you, for the sake of Liberos's good name and in order to make sure doomsday never comes to pass...

But this is only a temporary alliance... and she didn't say we couldn't play a few games together, either.

So, let the test begin! In this Collapsed Dream, you'll find some lovely little Nightmare Minions. They'll transform into several little nightmares.

If you can figure out which one is a fake nightmare, you'll pass the test!

If you guess incorrectly... Hah! Then you'll have no choice but to stay in the dream forever!

You actually got it right! That's right. How could such an arrogant idiot ever cry like that? She'd probably just smash her computer into a million pieces!

It seems you know them all pretty well, Leader.

Uh-uh! Wrong answer! It's true, this gorgeous girl turns into a monster in her dreams, or rather... a demon lord!

This is like a preview of a dream. Does it scare you knowing there's a monster here that could just change shape at any time?

Alright, I'll announce the test results now... The person doomed to stay in this nightmare forever is... our Leader!

Give him a round of applause!

I bet you didn't see that coming, right Leader?

Huh? Aren't you scared, Leader? This dream world is totally shattered!

There could be all kinds of nightmares lurking in the darkest corners, waiting for the chance to pounce on you and gobble you up!

Ha-ha-ha! Leader, you don't even understand the situation you're in, you darling little thing!

Did you think these were other people's nightmares? Hee-hee! They're actually all your nightmares! It turns out you're far more concerned about your partners than you think!

So, if you stay in this dream world, you'll get to spend some quality time with your own nightmares... forever!

So, what do you say? Think you're up to it?

Oh, you just flat-out refuse?

It seems you just don't have the resolve... To be a Radiant is to be doomed to one day remain in a dream world forever and ever...

This is the prophecy of the witches and the curse of the Spirit Lens... After all, it's impossible for you humans to overcome your true emotions.

And the world's most adorable witch, Rikia, is right here with you!

Sometimes, you're actually not too dim, Leader...

Well, this time you just managed to scrape by.

It's nice playing this kind of fun little game from time to time. Especially when I'm up against you... You're so easy to read!

Well, it looks like I've found a new playmate! I'm so happy! Let's play together again, soon!

Wow, people keep telling me that this is the most romantic place for a date.

But I think it's as terrifying as hell. Everyone's inner voice is frightening.

Yes, whether you're afraid or not, no matter what you're thinking, I will know straight away, Leader.

...Ermm... Wait, I don't want to know about silly things like you tripping over today!

So, Leader, you're more frightened of lies? I'm really sorry, because I'm really good at lying.

Because a witch is good at confusing others with lies.

Come on, Leader. Let's guess what that girl leaning in her boyfriend's arms back there is thinking right now.

Look at her face. She looks satisfied and happy.

She is thinking about the future, but it isn't a particularly good future.

It may be a good thing for this girl...

But for the boy, it may not be a good thing.

That girl smelt other women's perfume in her boyfriend's arms. There are hundreds of possibilities running through her brain. She even started to think that it would be rather convenient to pack her boyfriend into several bags.

God, doesn't that scare you? Women's thoughts are terrifying and extreme.

But it's OK. So long as the guy doesn't do something bad, that will never happen.

You think that's terrifying? But that's how people think in the deepest parts of their minds. This is actually a strong expression of love.

An assertive girl like her is more admirable than a weak one who cries like a pathetic little girl after she's betrayed, right?

Well, isn't this really normal? In our Witch world, there are even more terrible ways to deal with traitors, such as cutting their bodies into pieces, then cooking the pieces into a nice soup and feeding them to others.

Hahaha, I'm kidding, Leader! You don't really believe those cliche horror stories, do you?

Here's another question, Leader. Do you know what the quarrelling couple over there are thinking about?

This time, let's guess what's on the boy's mind. Maybe you will be better at it.

Apart from kneeling down to admit that he was wrong, there's no other way to apologize.

And the man didn't want to apologize. He didn't even know what he was wrong about.

Nah, he didn't even know what the girl is angry about. He just pretended to be angry in order not to fall behind.

Boys' brains are really amazing. Even you can't understand them, Leader?

This guy is seriously thinking something like, "how long will she be angry for? I'm gonna be late for the baseball game. What's the best excuse I can use to leave..."

Hahaha, so baseball is the most important thing to him? No wonder he didn't remember it's the girl's birthday.

Most of the time, men's and women's thinking patterns don't run by the same logic. You are the same, Leader. It's really nice of you to seriously think about how to attain forgiveness at this time!

A fool like him deserves to be a happy single idiot.

Yes, with this man's brain, he won't be able to think of any good solution in his lifetime.

In this situation, he has no choice but to kneel down.

Well, stupid Leader's second test also failed. Do you want to be a friend with witches now?

Rikia will be the first to say no, hmph!

Forget about it, I hope that Leader can make some progress next time!

When a black feather appears, that is when death shall strike.

So, if you find a black feather in your dream, you can be sure that Rikia is ready to strike!

Do those SEED stinkers even have brains? How can they think a witch would waste her time in an amusement park!? This place is for little kids!

This is all SEED's fault! They call themselves the Enforcers? They're just mad dogs going around biting everyone in sight! Hmph!

And whenever they find themselves in a mess, they point the finger at Liberos! They think they're so awesome, they even think we witches don't know how to swing a sword!

This has absolutely nothing to do with you. Do you really want to get involved? You might end up being labelled as my accomplice...

...Is there only one truth? Is that what you really think, Leader? Hee-hee... You're so naive, it's kinda cute. Well, let's go and have a look!

Some of the children who accidentally entered the amusement park in the dream are missing. Because of the black feathers found at the scene, the Enforcers are trying to pin the blame on me.

Hmph! Like I would risk losing my precious black feathers in such a broken and disorderly dream!

What a bunch of idiots! Witches don't eat children!

There's no luster at all, and they bear faint traces of a nightmarish aura... Could they be the feathers of nightmare crows?

Children who are lured into dream worlds by crows end up becoming lost to the nightmares' many temptations.

I honestly don't care what the truth of the matter is, I just want to prove that SEED are a bunch of fools!

The witches of Liberos don't care much for clarifying such matters personally!

Well, now I'm sure that these are not my feathers!

We can leave now.

It's not my job to save those kids. That's SEED's job, the so-called defenders of justice...

I never knew you were so kind-hearted, Leader. But no one here will give you a "Good Citizen Award", no matter what you do.

Well... You finally said something that makes sense, Leader.

But don't think I can't hear what you're really thinking! Don't think you can use reverse psychology on me! Hmph! Keep dreaming!

But still... This is a good chance to hit SEED where it hurts!

We'll let the world see how useless and stupid they are! Just thinking of them giving me the "Good Citizen Award" makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over!

Their bodies look like they're still moving, kind of... Maybe they're still breathing? But their souls are trapped in the dream...

They haven't been swallowed up yet? As long as the dream remains, we should be able to track them down...

Not that I care... We're doing all this for some random kids who have absolutely nothing to do with us! Hmph!

Leader, one day your noble nature is going to get you into serious trouble!

Let me torture the nightmares around here... Maybe they'll be able to tell us something useful...

(......)

Oh! Is it because they were messing around with demon summoning that a death crow brought them to this dream? Geez... Kids are so brave these days...

They had the nerve to try summoning a demon... Hee-hee! I'm starting to like these kids!

Maybe we'll find a few future witches among them!

Need I say more? I've already sent a few feathers to guide them home.

That wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. Hmph! It was just way too easy!

Anyway, now we can just wait for the Enforcers to present us with our award.

Leader, as the sole witness of my deeds, you must let the world know of my heroism and their utter embarrassment!
