    "Damnit Izuna!" was Eira's response to his teasing of Takumi, because though she had a good idea that he'd say something, she didn't know what it was until it fell out of his mouth. Though it was the fox boy's general MO to tease everyone it was still somehow annoying to Eira, even when it was aimed at her, but because this one seemed to poke at both her and Takumi it was way worse. Strangely, she didn't get much time to consider this, because Takumi responded to the greetings offered him and took up a place, surprisingly on the right side of Eira. He then approached her very directly for the first time ever since becoming a member of her Peerage, lifting her chin to kiss her lips as he claimed the Queen's Position in her circle. Eira herself was stunned by this display of affection, and more so than that, relieved by it. 'Again~' she mused for the duration of it. The young women of this peerage all saw this and glanced away to avoid staring, with the exception of Youmu who thought the whole thing strange enough that she watched for the duration. She wondered what could have happened between them over the course of just a couple of days to make this sort of drastic change between them. She'd eventually look to Izuna as if he could offer some form of explanation to this change in behavior, figuring he'd have a much better handle on that sort of thing than she did.

    Izuna chuckled at Eira's response to his teasing. There was even more to come as Takumi took what would have been his proper position around the throne, if he didn't have such a pension for floating. "What? He even took the Queen's space?" he said with utmost nonchalance. The locking of lips that occurred between Eira and her Pawn was something Izuna also looked away from, while ones such as Sairevil and Shouki watched with grins. Izuna found his gaze setting on Youmu, who seemed to be looking toward him with some amount of confusion. He returned an equally ignorant look to her and shrugged, also having no clue as to exactly how this worked out in such a short time. It would be Hiroki who eventually cleared his throat and addressed a point of importance for the group. "If I may, Buchou... what exactly is on the group agenda for the day?"

    Eira's kiss with Takumi, probably lasted way longer than it should have considering present company. Shouki and Sairevil had about the expected reactions given their base physiology and relationship to Eira, while even her best friend and her closest confidant seemed confused by the occurance. And though it was generally accepted by everyone none seemed to have a solid reason for why such a thing worked when it had been not working to such an extreme before. Whatever the case, Hiroki's cleared throat and question startled Eira just a bit causing her to reluctantly break away from Takumi and answer while being only mildly embarrassed which was only really notable by the clasped hands in her lap. "Ahem. Group activities, since everyone's grades aren't in serious danger anymore. And everyone has had their crash course in Devil basics, it is time for contracts. Everyone is to go out and fill some contracts or make some new ones. I can't have you guys falling behind the ranking scale," she said with an eye cast at Takumi. Though she obviously didn't want to send him away, his developments in particular were necessary if they were to get married anytime in the next century. "Yosh! Contract night!" this was an excited utterance from Maiko who really enjoyed her contracts for some reason or another.

    Takumi backed away from Eira's face in a very casual fashion when she brought about the separation of their lips. He didn't seem bothered at all, but he was just as curious about whatever plan the woman had for their group this day. Perhaps there would even be something which stuck the pair of them together and separate from the others, leaving them an opportunity to further... get to know each other, as it were. Contract were apparently on the list for today. Takumi, for one, had done this in a few instances over the course of his life as a Devil so far, especially during the time of Eira's week-long disappearance. As such, he did have one or two contracts which had yet to be signed, even if this wasn't quite at the top of his preferred to-do list. Hiroki, on the other hand, was about as excited as Maiko to fulfill his contracts, even if he showed this in a very different way. "Ah, great. I've been meaning to pick my numbers back up."

    Maiko's excited utterance brought a smile to Eira's face. She knew what this lass was going to do, and as such was more than happy to send her own her way. Hiroki also seemed just as excited to get going as far as Eira could tell, his calm happiness was very different from everyone else. Miyuki looked up at Eira and nodded her understanding going on to mention what she'd be going to do. "Buchou... I have a contract to help a guy train for the Winter Olympics. Mostly I am just making it snow down a big hill in his backyard, but magic practice~" the young girl chimed. This was such a cute contract Eira reached for the top of the lass' head to pat it. "Kawaii Miyuki~, have fun~" she said to the young girl, who had a bit of a pause before she got ready to leave. "Ano... Yasukawa-kun..." she said looking to Shouki. "Do you want to come with me? Since you are fresh on you don't have contracts or anything, and I still don't really like going by myself," she offered the lad to join her on her trip. Maiko looked at the girl and chuckled. "First rule about contract night, don't talk about contract night. I'm out!" she claimed a magic circle appearing beneath her as she disappeared from the room.

    Youmu stood in her uniform looking to Eira. "Not a rule. She's just weird. Outfit change... please," she asked. This lead to Eira putting the lass in the the dark green pants boots long green jacket with phantom motif which was sleeveless as Youmu herself equipped her two swords. "Arigatou. I'm off to slay a... poltergeist." she said the word as if disgusted, but there was a gleam in her eye past this of someone easily amused by what she was going to do. "I'll see you all later..." and with that a magic circle was created under Youmu and she disappeared, but not before shooting a quick glance to Izuna encouraging him to be nosy so she could have more information. And with that at least two disappeared completely.

    While others were also preparing to take their leave, Hiroki took not a magic circle as his method of exit, but the door instead. "I have an escort duty," he said while making his way out on foot. Meanwhile, Shouki was left looking toward Miyuki, who apparently didn't like going to fulfill her contract alone. "Sure, I'll come with you!" he replied with a hop up to where the Yuki-Onna stood. Revil took the time to form a magic circle around himself as well. "I guess I'm off to baa-san's photo shoot, then. I don't know why she wants me to model, but a contract's a contract. Ja!"

    Izuna floated about aimlessly. He didn't have any contracts that he needed to deal with today, so he'd have to figure something out. A single glance from Youmu, however, gave him an alternate plan for the day. As such, he gave a single salute to the others before vanishing via his usual method. With this, only Takumi would be left if one were to exclude Eira herself. He didn't seem very keen on leaving just yet, though. He continued to sit atop the right arm of the heiress' throne, throwing his head back with a sigh. He'd come to realize that out of the few contracts he had, he had all of zero signatures from the humans he interacted with. What's more, he now had a much higher capacity for doing the tasks required of him. "Hmm... I haven't gotten any of my contracts signed yet. Maybe it'll be easier now."

    "Escort... yeah, that sounds about right for you. Ja ne, Hiroki~" Eira said giving the boy a wave on his way off. Sairevil had an entirely different kind of mission to go on, apparently he'd be modeling today. His statements in particular made Eira's left brow raise, as she wasn't sure why the lad didn't know the information he claimed. "Uh-huh, well..." Eira watched the lad take off and simply shook her head. "I'm going to have to get Nii-sama to talk to him properly..." she mused. Moving right along, Miyuki invited Shouki along on her mission which seemed fine with the boy. Before they left together, Eira used magic to create a scarf for the lad around his neck in the same periwinkle color she'd made his pajamas. "Hai hai, you two have fun. Stay warm, Shouki~" she chimed. Miyuki excited by the prospect of having company created a Magic circle beneath the pair of them assuming they'd both disappear to do her contract as well. And just like that, most everyone disappeared, including Izuna who simply went invisible and thus was assume-ably gone.

    Alone with Takumi, Eira seemed to relax just a bit. His words about his potential contracts were ones which Eira didn't know about, but she had been missing for quite a while. His claim was that they might be easier to get signed now, than they had been before and given his head was back and he sighed, Eira got up, standing before him and slipping her arms around him. "It will likely be easier now that you are more certain of yourself," she said softly. Admittedly Eira would rather not send him out at all, she wanted to keep him, and his attention all to herself for as long as possible. But in order for that to happen, he needed a name for himself. "But I should tell you failure isn't an option. You need to complete your contracts more than anyone else. The faster you gain a name for yourself, the easier it will be for us to get married. Though even after you do, it still won't be easy, but nothing worth having is..." she said knowing the complexity of Devil politics was looming over the horizon of her happiness.

    As Takumi mulled over his list of contracts, Eira ended up in front of the lad with her arms around him. She also understood the difference in how his contracts could/would be completed now, versus how they were likely going for him before. More importantly though, there was the matter of importance regarding his contracts. Apparently, his merit was directly connected to their eventual marriage. Takumi had no information about this at all, but given what he'd learned about Devils and their preference for pure-bloods, he could easily understand. "Sou ka... It's like that, huh? Well, I guess I'll just have to take the Underworld by storm. It doesn't bother me at all," he said with certainty. After all the waiting he'd done to reach this point, he certainly wasn't going to have anything else get in the way.

  9. #379
    A smile broke across Eira's face as she heard what Takumi had to say. He claimed he would simply take the Underworld by storm if it was necessary for their marriage to take place. Knowing that he was so willing to go along with this and get caught up in the politics of it to make it happen, made her heart thump in her chest. She squeezed the lad a bit tighter and relaxed but still her explanations would continue as she felt the need to make sure he had all the information necessary. "You are a reincarnated Devil. That places you as a Low-Class Devil on the scale. In order for us to get married you have to become a High-Class Devil like me. Between the two is Middle-Class Devil," she explained handing out what was necessary as information for him. "The transition from Low Class to Middle Class requires you to earn the right to raise your ranking. You can do this through Contracting, Military Accomplishment or Rating Game showing. Basically you have to prove that you have the potential to become greater, because of the current state of the world, this is easiest done through contracting or Rating Games. But we don't always have Rating Games to participate in. If you take enough contracts your name will spread around the Underworld in a good way, and you can do it all the time. The added weight to your name will earn you the right to take the test to become a Middle Class Devil," she explained, having not given him this sort of information directly in quite a while, especially not while he was comfortable enough to take it from her.

    "To become a Middle Class Devil you have to take a three part test. Two written parts, one covering Aim and Greed, and the other covering History and Government of the Underworld. The last part of the test is a practical demonstration, a one on one fight versus someone else taking the test," she explained the process of becoming a Middle Class Devil because this was Takumi's biggest overarching goal. One could note that the system itself was very similar to the school system of humans, this was done on purpose because most reincarnated Devils were human. "But it all starts with your contracts," she finished. "Questions?"

  10. #380
    Eira went on to give Takumi an explanation of Devil rankings, what he needed to do if he wished to achieve High-Class status, and what each stepping stone meant to the overall goal. It didn't seem like too big a deal to rise in power within the Underworld, tedious though it may be. The end goal was worth the journey as far as Takumi was concerned, and if he had to, he would make quick work of the journey itself. "I guess it's settled then," he said, clearly having no questions, but taking a moment to kiss Eira while she was in such close quarters. Once that was done, he worked himself free and conjured a magic circle beneath himself. "I'll have a hundred signatures before the Kyoto trip. Ja ne." And with that, he was gone.
