Switch over to Kensuyata, we've left her hanging long enough.

Yes, let's see what Kensu is up to.
In the meantime though, Manewis should probably be on the look-out for another recharge chamber - running a little low on juice there.

"Beg pardon?"

ARGH, how the hell did this guy even USE this thing with such fat hands!?

>>289554
Call him. These hands are kinda totally useless. Or maybe check his utility loincloth? He might have something pointy for use in typing. A toothpick or a ring with a needle on it or something.

try using the tips of the fingernails.

if you have a pencil or something like it you could type with it

lets avoid transforming anyway.

"The WATER WORKS? Why are you looking there?"

"And you've been blindly trusting texts coming to you from an unknown source on Onigashima."

>"Hey he sms legit"

"Be careful then. Do not let down your guard, and keep me posted. Additionally, try to clean up your typing next time. Manewis out."

Guh, it's like that guy's never texted on a phone before. Also, the hand, while useless for texting, or doing pretty much anything nimble, while in this form do have their perks. I've discovered that while posing as the DAY MANAGER, I have SUPERIOR STRENGTH and can move heavy objects I'd never be able to budge otherwise. Also, if I pose as KINTARO, he seemed to have pretty high DEMONIC CLEARANCE, being the janitor and all, also, I found out that I can shoot webbing from my butt as him to grapple up vertical shafts, or swing across gaps. He can even walk on some walls.

But anyway. Ok, I'm in the WATER WORKS. The guy on the texts said something about meeting soon while I was on my way here. Not sure what he has in store so I'm not letting my guard down, like Manewis said. I dropped down from the shaft above and it looks like there's three ways I can go here. Which path should I try first?

>>289580
Middle right looks promsing. Exploration ho!

Well, how's your situational awareness going?

What entrance-way did you use to get in this particular room, and what do you know about the other ones in your immediate vicinity.

I came from the shaft above, I mentioned that. I just got down here when Manewis texted me, so I don't know what's around here yet.

>>289586
I hoist myself up the ledge and head down the hallway. The walls and floor feel even moister than that last room.

"EH? WHat's the Day Manager doin down m'yere at mah river?"

say that KINTARO sent you down here cause one of the water intake pipes seems a little clogged so you can down to check it out.

>>289596
Point at his crotch and say "Your fly's undone."

If we're lucky he'll spill the water in his headbowl and be paralyzed or killed or whatever the legend about Kappa is.

"What's he sendin' da Day Manager down ta do 'is doity woik? Ya ain't got clearance ta be in mah river! Less ya kin show me some proipa clearance, or gimme a better reason ta let ya in, we'll take care'a any clogs!"

Does this guy always yell?

>>289604
Pull the "Fly's undone." thing, then rush forward and karate chop him. Make sure to grab him before he falls into the water! Then feed your middle mouth. Unless you think that's too icky or something, but it's a damned dangerous weapon.

"Look man, I don't question his orders, I follow them. I'd rather not have my head caved in, geddit?"

>>289604
>>289605

Oh, he's a kappa! Don't worry, all you need to do is knock the water out of the bowl on his head and he'll become powerless and die! If that's something you want to go for, anyway.

Unless he jumps back in the water, of course.

"Oh come on, we all know that Waterworks has the cute girl on staff, you gotta let me have a chance, and this was the best excuse I had."

>>289604
>>289605

Ask him if he can help you figure out this thing with your phone. It's been acting weird, right? Walk over and let him see it... then while he's busy with it, crack him over the skull.

I hear his kind lose their awesome if that thing on their head is busted or spills.

>>289610
>>289616
Kappas are notoriously good at wrestling, and he's sitting right there in the middle of his pond. I'm not sure how safe trying to pick a fight with him would be, even if I could get the drop on him...

...bah. I don't think we're gonna get anywhere here. Let's go back and check another passage. Maybe come back disguised as the other guy so he lets us past.

fighting him would be quite a bad decision considering it can net us even more problems that solutions.

ask him for his phone number and try to pick up the model he uses. only then we should consider a sneak attack later on.

if not, pretty much ask him if you can chill with him while you get the clearance. send some more texts asking manewins to reply and then move out.

>>289631
We need a cucumber.

Bust a kappa his ass

>>289638
This. We can always bust a kappa in his ass later.

Um, just bow to him. Kappa are too polite not to bow in response.

Seriously, this is how most people deal with them. Maybe say something about just being on your way too.

Go back to the other room and transform into kintaro.

don't turn into kintaro right away. explore the other passage and then when you come back here become kintaro and get on his case about not letting the day manager in and making you have to come all the way down here.

>>289685
Excellent plan why didn't I think of that

>>289631
Yeah.... headlock and suplex time. Spill that bastard!

I'll head back to the other room and see if Kintaro has any better luck.

"I guess I'll be on my way then."

I bow- OH GOD! FAT PEOPLE WITH FACES IN THEIR TORSOS SHOULD NOT BOW!

"Come back when yeh got somethin' I-HURK!"

HE LOST HIS WATER, TAKE HIM OUT!!

Welp.

"D-Day Manager, mah man. I seem ta have spilled mah lily pad. I can't move, can ya do me a solid and fill'er back up?"

Hmm. I guess I got a choice here. Do I "do him a solid," probably helping my image as the Day Manager, ignore him and continue on, or kill him, probably gaining a leaf in the process?

Take the water in your mouth and fill his lily pad. Then leave without saying a word, staring at him awkwardly.

You should spit into his head with your face-stomach

Crush his head.

FINISH HIM

KEEL HEEM

I'm actually against killing him only because trails of bodies are easier to track. And the less mayhem you cause before blowing the place up, the less security response you will face.

>>290579
I hear kappa is delightfully crisp and tender and tastes of pickles.

Use your helmet as a bucket.

>>290579
Take his keys. He can't stop you.

Take his keys and leave him frozen like that for the entire rest of the quest.

>>290579

Take those keys, let him know that you'll be back to refill him after you see the babes.

>>290592
I think it's more trails of missing people, what with the leaf thing.

So, er, kill him if you're low on leaves, since you've clearly used at least one since we last had control. Else I guess keep up the disguise you're already invested in.

You're a demon-hating tanuki. Why are you ASKING whether or not you should be killing another evil demon?

>>290579
He's an asshole and probably a murderer. >"No he isn't, he's right on that corpse I put in the closet where I left him! K-HAW HAW!"

Destroy him.

>kill him

I step forward and clasp my fat hands around his bill and head.

"K-huh? Wh-What'choo doin!?"

I give a sharp twist and am met with popping sound as his neck snaps. His body gives a bit of a shudder, and then locks up into the same position it's been in.

I can't convert him into a leaf without dropping my current disguise. I'm down to 3 leaves currently.

>>290601
He has a pair of keys hanging from a keyring tied around his waist. I suppose he won't be needing these anymore anyway, guess I'll give em a good home.

>>290652
While yes, I have no love for these creatures, I'm currently in disguise. It might not do so well for my cover if the Day Manager goes around killing demons left and right.

>>290655
In that case, twist his head back so he doesn't look quite so obviously dead at first glance?

I'm guessing you can't put him back in a sitting pose.

as a profesional SPAH, you could have done better. if they belive the day manager is simply a killer instead of a shapeshifter you can easily stir trouble like that.

anyway, you need to dispose of the body. but first check his belongings.

Stash the body somewhere and then go to kill the janitor. We need to build up a pile of corpses before we can get a net leaf gain.

>>290657
But twist it back in the same direction, JUST IN CASE.

Hmm... ok. So should I check down this cave, or head back and try one of the other paths?

Whoops.

Hide the body (or eat it, if your hulky form allows), and advance down the cave.

take the body and jam it somewhere along this path.

>>290747
...so just how much can you gib the body before you lost the ability to turn it into a leaf? :V

Onward in this direction. Put the body the other side of the rock or something.

The majority of it's body needs to be intact for enough SPIRIT ENERGY to be present to form a MAGIC LEAF.

>>290750
I stuff the Kappa behind the rock, and toss some gravel I find lying on the creek bed over it. Hopefully no one will go poking around the pile of rocks there. I head further down the tunnel. The water level seems to be rising as I go. The cave opens up into a larger chamber.

>>290759

Transform back into your ninja form, run across the water, and jump to the cliff edge.

And while she's back in normal form, can she Leaf that corpse we left behind us?

BLARGLFLAGLRAGL!

WHAT THE SHIT!? I've seen ninjas do this thousands of time in the cartoons! Ugh, this water tastes HORRIBLE!

Argh, you suck at being a ninja!

Transform into the Kappa and swim across. Maybe it can climb up too.

Just turn into the kappa you silly goose

>>290781

These walls are eroded smooth and soaked slick. I don't think even Kintaro could grip these walls.

Kappas are known for their grappling prowess, swimming speed and the ability to remain underwater indefinitely. Climbing is not something they're particularly known for.

make like a dolphin and go down and rocket up.

Fine, fine.

Swim through the bars. Failing that, bend the bars to give yourself enough room to enter.

Okay then, here's what you do. Grapple the wall.
Then grapple it higher.
Then grapple it higher still.

Etc etc and so forth until you're all the way up

>>290815
Make sure you don't spill your head full of water, since I'm guessing that would paralyze you while in that form. Which would really really suck.

Damnit... It doesn't look like I can reach that ledge without something higher up to jump up from.

Think you could use a couple kunai to jar some of those stalactites off? Maybe make a platform out of those?

Bail out of there and try the bottom right passage next. Stay as Kappa for now, if you think you can avoid spilling the water well enough.

>>290828
Is it just me, or is there supposed to be more water?

its just you.

check the bars, one of them must be loose. or with a keyhole somewhere...
