(Yn POV)

Made it to Planeptune Basilicom where we met Histoire, "The Oracle of Planeptune" after leaving Gameindustri Graveyard . She was happy to see Nepgear home again, Compa and IF explain what went down which led Histoire to be disbelief that I defeated one of the ASIC members without breaking a sweat.

She's unconvinced by their statement. But remembers similar reports about a man who'd can defeat his opponent in one punch for the past few years. Histoire began to question and show any proof. Hehe. I demonstrate my powers by punching throw a boulder. Tole her I was only certain amount of my strength.

Histoire absolutely is dumbstruck and immediately if I'd can aid the girls to put an end of ASIC which I said yes. Woke up. Got dress and met everyone at the dining table.

Yn: Good morning.

I yawn.

Girls: Good morning.

Pretty sure Histoire will explain about Gameindustri mascot in a bit.

IF: You've slept longer than Gear. Too laid back, huh?

I shrug.

Yn: I like to sleep.

Histoire

Age: Ageless

Histoire:  Now then shall we begin our discussion?

The small Sharicite Crystal that took nearly three years it barely had enough power to restore only CPU powers. Failed to save the CPUs which led this current word situation.

Histoire: And we have come to learn that ASIC's goal is to revive the Deity of Sin. At the rate our world is declining, they may achieve that goal.

Nepgear: But... isn't there anything we can do to stop them?

Histoire: Yes. One way yet exists. And that way is you, Nepgear... Along--your fellow CPU Candidates.

Nepgear: Wait, me? And... I'm not the only CPU Candidate?

Wouldn't think Nep would introduce her younger sister to the other main CPUs. How..... nevermind. Thinking to much logic. Just how this story plays out.

Histoire: Correct. As you know, only the CPUs themselves and the CPU Candidates are able to gather Shares. If enough Shares are recovered, ASIC and those affiliated with it should weaken

Nepgear: 'They want me to collect Shares in my sister's Stead...? I want to help Neptune.... I want to help the world... But... There's no way I can be at such a strong opponent. I don't have a chance. Besides....Yn might have a better chance than me. He's way stronger than any of us combine. Yn was able to defend one of the ASIC members without breaking a sweat'.

Nepgear eyes slightly glance at me as I sweat drop. Oh, jeez... she's putting herself down. Crap. Guess showing off my strength and defeat Judge was a bad move. Wasn't trying to discourage her. Just wanted to help that's all. Plus I'd can't gain Shares like any CPUs.

Long lavender hair girl need to overcome low self-esteem. I'm not always gonna be here to bail her out every single time.

Yn (worried): 'Nepgear'

Time Skip-Few Hours Later brought to you by Roxanne from Slave Harem in the labyrinth of the other world

Roxanne: Master.~

(3rd POV)

Histoire explains about the mascots like in the game and she'll research where it might be. Basically might take at least three days.
The group decided to go on a quest together while Histoire does her thing. Not to mention help Nepgear gain Shares too. Quest is to slay dogoos that are pretty easy to beat.

Dogoos are at the Virtua Forest it bit of time getting there on foot. Honestly Yn was being humble because he could get there in no time by running real fast like he did before when left to Gameindustri Graveyard.

IF: All right, let's do this!

Dogoos: D-Dogoooooo!?

Yn has both hands behind his head. The reincarnation back away to give these girls a chance to get stronger.

Compa: Umm...N-N (nickname? Why are you backing away?

Yn: Fight dogoos is.....boring.

Girls: Eh?

Yn: I'll let you girls deal with it.

Nepgear: Wait! Your not-

IF: Forget him, Gear. 'I get it. Wanted us to get stronger especially Nepgear. Doesn't want us to always rely on him for everything'.

Compa, IF and Nepgear couple of dogoos about to finish them off.

IF: Great. Let's finish this quest up and go collect our reward.

Dogoos: D-Dogoooooo!

Nepgear: Goodness, it's hoping away! Hold it right there!

They chase those dogoos across the area until Neptunia were able to cornered those dogoos.

IF: It's really turning this into a chore. All right dogoos, we've got you cornered now.

Dogoos: Dogoooooooolkl!

Many dogoos started to appear out of nowhere! This surprise these girls.

Compa: Yikes! So many dogoos!

Nepgear: W-what are they doing!?

Dogoos combine to form "King Dogoos"!

Dogoo: DOG. GOO. DOGOO.

Nepgear (0_0): Did they just combine!?

IF: Whoa, it's massive.... Things just got more challenging for us... Oh I know. Gear, go ahead and transform. That'll make this a snap.

Nepgear tries to transform except she is too scared right now to use it.

Nepgear: Y-Yn can you-

Yn: No.

Nepgear: What!? Why?

Yn: Simple.... because I know you'd can do this, Nepgear. You have to believe in yourself more.

Nepgear: Believe in myself? I don't know.

He sigh.

Yn: 'I know she has a low self-esteem. But this another level'. Nepgear, I have faith in you. If it gets dicey then I'll step in. You'd can do this. I believe in you. Don't let that overgrown jelly scared you. Show who is the boss.

Nepgear: Yn.....

Nepgear felt somewhat of comfort by Yn words.

Nepgear (smile): O-okay.

IF: Let's go!

Compa: Right behind ya!

Nepgear: 'If Yn thinks I can do this'. Here I come! Hrragh!

The girls put up a good fight against King Dogoo. Nepgear feels a glimpse of power from Yn faith in her. Determine to defeat that overgrown Dogoo!

IF: Now!

Compa: Compa Love Heart!

*Boom*
King Dogoo: GOO!

IF: Flame Soul Slice!

*Slash x5*

*Boom*

King Dogoo: DOOG!

Nepgear: Mirage Dance!

*Slash x5*

King Dogoo has been dealt with. Drop a Add Memory-64 MB and Grand Jelly.

IF: Phew. That went better than I had hoped. Are you okay, Gear?

Nepgear: Y-yeah. 'It was thanks to Yn that gave me the courage to face that big Dogoo'.

Yn smile. Knew Nepgear would pulled it off without his help. He thought giving her a little encouragement probably help Nepgear to change a little bit of this timeline. Not for him. Mostly for Nepgear and friends.

Yn: How about we go on a few more jobs? After that I'll treat you girls out.

Compa (smile): Awww, that's sweet of you.

IF (smile): Sure.

Nepgear (smile): O-okay.

Yn: 'Better be a spectator unless they really need my help'.
