<Nocturnal Harmonia>

"... Hai," Ren said in a slightly sheepish manner, albeit with all the underlying excitement of a child before Christmas. He'd be receiving a weapon soon enough as well, according to Miko... but not before he stared under the shadow of a hood at some unknown, naked, curvaceous woman. This pair of people and their 'System' were so strange, yet so inline with things Ren dreamed of. They even spoke to Shido Makima, the chairwoman herself, in such a casual way that he couldn't imagine actually working for normal individuals... and she seemed to be fine with it.

Moving on from that, the naked woman was to be Ren's 'pupil' for the next twenty minutes or so. He was fine with that, but the girl herself seemed more interested in something else: Yugi's current state of being in particular. "Eh?" Yugi questioned initially, realizing only afterwards what he had to look like. "Oh, right. I got a Sharingan a few hours ago. Cursed Seal was a few minutes ago," he explained. "Anyway. We're in a Job-Change Quest. You started D&D with 3rd Edition, right? Think Prestige Classes; we're doing that. Shadow Concubines are allowed as Party members for 20 minutes at a time, with 20-minute cooldowns after. That's why naked works. I've got some gear to put on you, unless you're that into the idea of me putting something else on you instead~" he commented slyly, looking over Kaguya's form with appreciation and devious intent shelved for later. In the meantime, Ren was presented with a pair of daggers that were already much better than what he owned at home. He held onto one straight, double-edged blade, and one curved blade with an aggressive edge. Even just holding those weapons, he felt... odd. "Are these normal? I can feel a... kind of bloodlust when I touch them..."

Miko would definitely be making up to Ren the inconvenience of this day. How? Well, she had a plan for that, neatly coming together inside of a box in her mind. Until then though, she'd, be working on a weapon for him. Ever the observer, Makima got to see what this pair was like in a more open situation without the extra. Neither was hiding anything from the one's they'd called in most recently. And it seemed that the two girls were even familiar enough with each other to have banter and playfulness of friendship. "You don't get to say that when you didn't warn me about this shit, Mi-chan♥!~ It's fucking fantastic!♥~" Kaguya gushed about what she was seeing. Yugi had something to say, apparently the Sharingan had come a few hours prior and his cursed seal was a more recent development. "Sou ka," Kaguya murmured processing information.

"You would have known about it yourself, if you'd actually answered the video call properly, you old world slut♪!~" Miko chirped as Kaguya laughed. "Eh well you're so loud about everything but no warning when you know how I feel about the Uchiha!~ Shame Mi-chan~" she claimed as if she was innocent. "Hm, friendships are so cute," Makima observed almost absently. She was surprised, the oddities surrounding Miko didn't lead her to believe the girl had proper friends. She was seeming to be more emotionally balanced than Makima had been giving her credit for. Moving on from that, Prestige Classes and help was required. She could appear on and off in 20 minute rotations to help out and she'd be learning how Hunter Powers worked properly. "Campaign Plus and some rerolls. You two don't know the meaning of rest day... okay though, dress me up, Daddy. Mom didn't raise a bitch or anything but this parts a little new to me♥!~" Kaguya claimed striking a pose which had Miko even turning her gaze towards the girl. To watch after handing over that dagger set. "Normal? No. I made those with the System. I think functionally they'd seem more like something you'd get out of a higher tier Dungeon. I made them with some stuff we got from the two Dungeons we cleared after I left you earlier. I got that feeling too, but they felt right for what's hiding beneath of the surface of my favorite silent protagonist♪!~" Miko chirped. "They're yours by the way. They'll go to your Inventory when not in use and no one aside from other people deeply connected to us would be able to take them from you. Oh you can also Inventory cheese a bit and stash them or pull them out quick if you need to♪~" Miko gave all the information she had so far. And hoped the lad would find it useful as he took on his next phase with them.

Irrespective of everything else, Kaguya had an easy understanding of the task at hand via a singular comparison. All she needed now was the appropriate gear. Simple, Yugi thought. He already had a number of things waiting in Inventory for Kaguya, but there was a more recent acquisition after their dungeon-crawling morning. "Dress is the word. Inventory," he said. Yugi's right hand rose in position to snap his fingers, only for the showmanship of what was to come. One snap would spawn onto Kaguya a simple black thong, comfortable beyond all reason. Instead of a bra, he snapped onto her form a black pair of flower-shaped pasties that functionally provided a thin, invisible veil for some light armoring. The third snap was for a pair of thigh-high, black, heeled boots with square netting at their collars and a flower pattern throughout. Two more snaps placed upon her a matching choker and a pair of fingerless black gloves. Finally, he snapped to spawn what appeared to be a piece of black-and-red cloth of unknown material ─ something that would descend unto Kaguya's form and fit around her body as a skintight dress, melding with the choker's pattern and enhancing evasion alongside general movement speed. Of course he'd be watching intently during the whole process, not even looking away as the System notified both Players: [LEVEL UP!]

"There. How's that for Hunter gear?" Yugi asked once everything came together. "If you like it, keep it as a set. I could craft some makeup with effects to go with it," he added. All the while, Ren was struggling to keep eyes on his new daggers. He did keep an ear open for everything Miko had to say, but... clearly her eyes also had other priorities, so he didn't see a big deal in also watching the show. "It does feel like they'll help me strike with more certainty. That can make a big difference," he said, thinking much the same about slipping those weapons in and out of Inventory at will. "Can I auto-equip when attacking? Or do I have to think it? And... I guess she's the one learning to be an Assassin?"

Before anything else, Kaguya was being dressed. Though Miko was speaking during the process, she was also hearing something... As Kaguya began to move, she was hearing sensual music, with an almost near-eastern sound but lots of drums which had a deep beat which she could feel in her chest. "Definitely club music..." Miko muttered somewhere mid-thought. Just the same, Kaguya didn't have to be told to put on a show. In fairness to herself and her friends, there were currently 3 people in the world she trusted in absolution, and two of them were in this room. If they thought a third person wasn't really a problem, Kaguya also didn't see one. She swayed her hips as a thong appear on her body, breast bounces as a little pasties appeared. By the third snap she was spinning and bending over showing of long legs and a curved backside for those boots so perfectly fitted to her form. The next two snaps and the lass posing arms up in the air moving down to frame her face as gloves and a choker appeared upon her form. And by the las a little spin and hear arms were lifted into the air, allowing a skin tight dress to fall down her person as she would further run her hands down it getting a good feel for that magical fabric. After she was done applause would be hear, Miko was clapping her hands and so was Makima. "WOOOO♫!~" Miko cheered.

"Definitely a good look. I'll keep it♥~ Thanks Daddy♥~" Kaguya mused having fully adopted Miko's choice of moniker for the lad in these odd situations. "I can't say no to nice make-up, I can't usually be bothered with it~" Kaguya admitted to lacking a bit of that more girly charm that her face truly didn't need. "Sou ka, this is aura farming. What an interesting girl..." Makima observed casually. Meanwhile, the words of Ren were registered to Miko. He felt the daggers would help him strike with certainty. That was good. "Hai hai, good to know. You should be able to auto-equip. We can but I can't be absolutely certain. You can test it out before hand, but we can definitely think and active skills or call forth weapons. It should be possible," Miko said acknowledging the fact that there was some unknowns. "As for the teaching bit, yeah. Kaya this is Ren and the opposite applies. She's not registered yet, but definitely awakened and definitely an Assassin, so knowing that no one has a good handle on stuff, I figured you already understanding might be able to make her transition a bit easier," Miko said bringing two groups of friends together. "Oya? What a casual introduction... what do you have for me, huh?~ Can't go into a new fight without the basics~" Kaguya asked of Ren seemingly fine with being taught some new skills.

Club music or not, there was an absolute show taking place. One could easily trust Kaguya to create a more entertaining view than most. In fact, Yugi would say that was the sort of thing he'd pay for from her. "Stripper. Worth money even in reverse," he decided after seeing such a show for the second time. Yugi wouldn't involve himself in the standing ovation, but... Ren would without even thinking about it. With Kaguya agreeing to the makeup, Yugi was right back in the crafting menu to mix a few monster parts. "Good choice. I think this'll make black, which should be good on you. Gotta let those eyes do what they were made for," he rambled while mixing old parts from Riverglass Eels with newer things acquired from spiders and the like. In a matter of seconds, he equipped Kaguya with black lipstick and eyeliner, along with dark mascara. Miko would be able to note the lipstick's power immediately, if only because the Riverglass mana beasts would give strange effects to Kaguya's voice. By will, her words could reach only their intended targets ─ no enemies of any sort included. "There. Mascara and liner that'll improve your vision, probably helping against other assassins as well... and lipstick that'll mask your voice for anyone you don't want hearing it. The lipstick could also make a good ring around... well, maybe we'll talk about that when this is all over~" he flirted shamelessly.

At the same time, Ren was getting the final tidbits of information he needed, including an introduction to the bombshell he was just ogling and clapping for. If he could keep himself together well enough, perhaps he could actually teach the new Hunter some techniques. "Yoroshiku onegaishimasu," he greeted, almost managing to sound impassive... almost. This woman spoke with a flirty tone without trying, though; that would be interesting to deal with. Either way, Ren had been given a task he intended to see through. Both of those daggers were held out so Kaguya could take whichever she pleased. "I only use one. It helps in harder fights when a little strength is needed to finish the kill. You can have whichever you want. Do you have a stance that feels natural for starters?" Ren asked while trying to avoid letting his eyes wander too easily. He was succeeding... mostly.

Kaguya went for a complete look and what she got was, even more powers presented as innocuous girl items. Lipstick that held her voice to those she wanted to hear it specifically. Mascara and Liner that increased her ocular prowess. "Oya? I feel like you're setting me up♥!~" Kaguya flirted, still she stuck her tongue out at the lad and laughed off the idea of a lipstick ring left somewhere. Oddly enough it would then be Makima to speak up, "I'll be having all of the magical make-up collection," she said as casually as she requested anything from anyone. Miko would be seen pouting almost childishly. "I'm having that lipstick. If anyone is leaving a ring it's me... these sluts need to know there's a line they can't cross♪~" it slipped out of her head so quickly she was left with her mouth open as if tasting those words and wondering who put them together. "Oya? Mi-chan's inside voice is slipping out again~" Kaguya whispered specifically to her, making the girl give her the finger instead of saying anything.

At the same time, regular introductions were being made between Kaguya and Ren. "Yoroshiku♥~" Kaguya said. She knew this lad was eyeing her, she'd put on a show after all. ANd she was now having a casual gander down his body as he spoke to her, eyes zeroing in on the print of his dick in his pants her eyes widening a bit. Miko smirked she could hear the lack of passiveness in the lad she'd called here. And she knew given where Kaguya's eye swere she was beginning to understand how Miko chose men. "Uh-huh..." Kaguya managed as she looked at those two extended daggers she took the one which was a bit straighter, seeming to enjoy it's feel a bit better. "I think I'd prefer two under most circumstances, but I can understand what you mean." She tossed that straight back back and forth between both her hands, settling with it in her left and taking on something a bit similar to a boxer's stance with the knife in front and her empty right fist behind it. It wasn't the complete balance she would have gone for but it wasn't bad. "Probably this, is most normal to me..." she said with her weight balanced on legs spread just a bit so she could pivot or split at a moment's notice. It reminded her of spending time with her mother, had her eyes narrowing losing a bit of that playfulness as her face seemed to shift into something a bit darker and more focused.

Was Yugi setting Kaguya up? Not at all, in truth. What he gave her was simply some things he'd thrown together in the moment, though he'd already given consideration to crafting makeups and such. It seemed the final product was enough of a hit that Makima chimed in, claiming she'd have the entire collection. Yugi placed his left hand on his hip, letting the right hang freely as he scanned the System further. "There isn't a collection, but there can be. I'll see what else I can make. Oh... and I think I just lied. There is a collection. No combat purposes, but everything you'd expect of a System that literally empowers sex," he explained. Miko had something to say as well: a none-too-friendly assertion of dominance when it came to leaving rings. He'd only just created the lipstick, and there were already two other takers? Ludicrous. "Well since I'm apparently a fucking beautician now, I'll be expecting a ring in every flavor! Make a carnival game of it, see who puts the thickest line in the farthest spot!" he grumbled.

When the time came for Ren to show Kaguya the ropes, his resistance paid off... somewhat. He saw Kaguya looking down, knowing she could have only been viewing one thing. He'd also seen that shiny diamond on her left ring finger... and found it intriguing for someone so willing to show herself. This group was so interesting to Ren. Either way, he had to check her form for the moment of a potential kill. Kaguya took on a stance that very much accentuated her curves. Ah, that wasn't supposed to be important. Ren had to keep himself focused on the task at hand, which was ensuring she could function as an Assassin-type. He looked over her form more times than necessary, coming to a single conclusion. "It's good for defense. As an Assassin-type, you'll have to strike in small windows, very quickly. Shitsureishimasu," he said, stepping closer to get his hands involved. Kaguya would find Ren's hands on her sides from behind. He'd work to gently lift her center of gravity for an easier transition into dashes, hands ending just under her breasts. Uninterrupted, Ren would also be gliding down the girl's body to reach her legs ─ which he'd ideally have shifted to put the right forward. "What you were just doing is fine for open combat or having to stand your ground. When you're hiding... try this. It's best to start with what feels right and make little adjustments. You'll have an easier time that way," he advised. Of course, Ren still wouldn't have taken his hands off Kaguya's body in that moment. Why should he? Obviously he was still showing her the ropes, ensuring her form remained.

Yugi was learning a most direct lesson. When it came to women and the things they enjoyed many enjoyed the same things. And if you were going to entertain multiple women then you had to get used to the massive influx of requests they aimed your way. Initially he claimed there wasn't a collection only to take it back and claim that the System had a set not with combat effects but with sexual effects. "Doesn't that sound interesting," Makima said. Then there was the audacious response of Miko which was an amount of vigor she'd yet to see from that particular girl. "Oh? I didn't know you came with that kind of confidence. Good girl~" Makima encouraged her, seeming to think it was a good thing to do with the more reserved types. In that moment Miko shifted her eyes floating towards that screen with a bit of mischief in them. With so many things to say she hardly knew what to respond to directly so all options became available. "Oooh♪~ Praise from Mommy, really does do it♪!~ I'd win♪~" Miko claimed obviously willing to participate, well the truth was, she'd probably be doing it regardless by the end of that four hour stretch, she'd definitely be owed a snack. "I don't know... might be some stiff competition, Mi-chan♥~" Kaguya teased, whether she'd be answering the lad or not. Makima for her part in this simply smiled, "You've already made your requests, reiterating them won't speed up the process when you're still busy," Makima pointed out the lad's misplaced frustrations.

Beyond that little moment, Kaguya was studying a new person while also being studied in turn. That lad had quite the sizeable tool hidden away in his pants, and a quick look would be aimed Miko's direction. "Met him last night... he's awesome. I recommend♪~" the girl chimed passively. Soon enough Kaguya was having her stance adjusted. The one she took was initially better for defense, but quick killing from hiding spots required some slight adjustements. The lad touched her body, his hands lingering around her in a way that was quite abnormal but not unwelcome. She allowed her body to be adjusted and only had teasing musings to offer the lad in question, "Oya? Quite handsy aren't we?~ I get it though it's some pretty solid advice~" Kaguya stated with a cheeky smirk. "Got anything else for me?~" she questioned in that voice that could have been directly flirty but was just normal to her speaking pattern.

Makima obviously wanted the System's default makeup line as well. No matter. It was nothing to purchase things that would make a salaryman bankrupt in this world, with just a bit of gold lost and hardly noticed. As for the 'competition' being mentioned, Yugi would only have words for Makima in the end. Banter was passed between girls who'd known each other for some time, but the chairwoman herself thought only to point out Yugi's existing... "Request? That one wasn't a request. That one was a gacha mechanic," he replied. Lightning arced between Yugi's fingers again as Tae's poison mist showed signs of failing. Some knights were starting to make it a few steps beyond the barrier before falling. It wouldn't be long now. "Quick with the teaching. They're almost through."

Meanwhile, Ren was busy exploring Kaguya's... form. Yes, he was simply checking her form for quality assurance. As he did so, the black-haired lass pointed out how handsy he was being. Well, that was surely going to happen at some point. "I... have to make sure your stance is stable," he said. Both of Ren's hands moved as if he would release her, but all they did was glide from legs to hips, to sides, and back to hips in sequence. Did he have anything else for her? That was a question presented in a tone he couldn't fully read yet. "Mm... it depends? Is there anything else you need from me?" he asked. Only then did Yugi's moment of rushing register to Ren. Only then did he realize what had yet to be shared since he arrived. "Oh. Assassins in group settings. There are blank spaces in the enemy formation. It probably won't be all of them. The goal for Assassins should be sticking to open enough spaces that'll avoid being hit accidentally... but also keeping close enough to stay masked by bigger presences. In a case like this, I'd recommend─" Ren was interrupted mid-clause. "Looking for the clusters of openings they can shift between when things get too hectic?" Yugi questioned. "H-hai..."

As the girls seemed to be having a good time as friends, and Makima even managed to assert herself just a bit... there was Yugi, there to claim something different. He'd not been making a request, instead pushing a gacha. "I don't even know if I want to ask..." the woman said having no idea what the raven haired boy was talking about. Beyond that point there were enemies incoming. Miko would be hitting everyone present with a Veil and putting together a quick armor set with the Infantry gear and the one evasive cowl from the spiders they'd fought earlier, for Ren. "That's all we got for armor. I'll run healing and stuff for you guys. Megiddo?" Miko knew the major portion of her day and questioned only if she was running her major offensive spell.

Just the same hands on Kaguya were quite different from the ones's she'd gotten used to. There was something quite telling about this lad, so easily didn't he fall into the excuses and so interested he seemed in her physical form. "Oya? Well, if that's what's happening I guess I can't complain~" Kaguya said those words still flirty. She asked the lad if he had anything else for her and he replied in a way she was quite unused to. In her own life, she often made such passes at her fiancé and he often didn't have anything so provocative to say. "Oooh? I don't have needs like that... wants can also wait a while, ya' know~" she said lightly but obivously there was a little something there. She didn't mean to flirt like that, but it'd basically just happened. "Don't worry about it, he's a good sneaky person... if that's something that interests you. Mi-tested and approved 5-stars♪!~" Miko said slipping past her friend and pulling out her catalysts so that she could begin having a bit better coverage. As for the real lesson, Kaguya could put together what was being said as well, Yugi's understanding was one which came with his completing the other lad's clause and Miko for her part gained understanding from a different perspective. "Ah, I'm dumb... it's like moving through a hallway when you're small. I could have figured that out on my own," she said with that realization she had some idea of the kinds of places she should be looking. "Alright, I understand what I'm looking for and what I'm supposed to do... how are we going at this all together?" Kaguya asked knowing that individual dynamics and group dynamics needed a bit of fine tuning though she was ready to join the fray with a more relaxed and mostly standing posture by the time she spoke properly.
