Warning

Okay I just figure I'd say here but I think the reason my hands being tied (or so it seems) right now is because I dunno how far I can go with character lores. Or is there a world rule or limit to follow? I'm a little afraid to push too far but the ideas that I have involve advanced kind of lores. Also, I know we already mentioned that most if not all non-humans are enemies. (Demons, aliens, etc previously mentioned). So I do wonder how far that goes and if there ARE friendly parties on certain sides. Knowing this would be the only way I can avoid a plothole down the line, I think. Since I'm trying not to go out of line but I might already be with god type characters being in the world right now. So yeah. x.x

Nall's eyes widened again as he looked genuinely surprised. "A whole bunch...? It's amazing. So, the world is abound with magic.", he said, quite satisfied with the answer about how many magic users who existed in one place. Or in the world in general. He was however unaware that magical girls had their own war against demons and other enemies of varying strength levels. It's something Mitsuko could relate to as she was new into this life but she at least knew what magical girls were doing for everyone, with their power. Nall seemed to realize he was as much an outsider as they were to him and he thought giving them a moment to get answers would be good. There were special looking humans around, among the fans who looked more normal, in a sort of way, but no creature like him were around. At the same time, he was and felt special anyway. "Maybe you have questions. I don't mind telling you what I can. Only one rule, you can't ask if I am a cat. Because I'm not. I may like fish but that does not make me a cat.", he precised seriously. Mitsuko blinked, finally putting her sword and its power away but remained transformed, wondering more about Nall now. If he was not a cat, despite looking like one, what was he? Although, Mitsuko was in no way knowledgeable about magical creatures. A cat also normally didn't have wings or this fur pattern. "Wait so... What are you, then?" Mitsuko finally asked and Nall grinned in a playful manner, like he expected the question from a mile away. Who would not? "Maybe she knows...?", he teased Jumi, begging for a guess.

Mitsuko nodded to Jumi's advice while Nall said nothing, probably feeling like she had covered most of what the girl could potentially learn right now. Although, the aura around the sword seemed to exude her strength, it was likely nothing compared to what she could do. Nonetheless, she had signed her magic entrance as a magical girl, now. Nall could only smile while watching her until he moved to land on her shoulder, sorta. "It's good, you seem to have gotten a start with it already. There's much ahead of you.", he told her. She only turned her head a little to eye him... He was right but she didn't know if he referred to anything in particular, yet. It was clear that he was her erm... pet? She was not sure what he was but he looked like a cat anyhow. Surely he knew more about who was after her. "Nall... About a girl named Lenneth..." Nall's eyes widened at the mention of the name, staring at her for a bit like a scaredy cat. "You've met with Lenneth...?", he asked, it seems like he knew. Mitsuko nodded gently. Nall gained a seriously look, "She is a Valkyrie." The name was familiar. Valkyries were warriors of the gods. They could be considered gods or goddesses themselves according to the legends and mythologies. Something Mitsuko had studied in, back at her academy. "She tried to kill me... I am only alive thanks to a miracle.", Mitsuko told him and Nall only kept his serious expression, figuring quickly that the sword had protected her. His eyes shifted toward Jumi, wondering if she knew about it. "She is no small threat. Though she looks... small. You have to be careful, Mitsuko." The warning was taken seriously. Especially with the expression Nall was giving her. He did not seem worried for her to come back soon, at least. It did not mean she would not come back. For the time being, Nall flew off and went to Jumi, wondering about what else she knew, considering what she had given advice to Mitsuko about. He was not familiar himself with magical girls or even the world itself. "So you have magic, too...? Are there other ones with magic?", he questioned curiously, really seeming like he didn't know much.

Mitsuko considered Nall's suggestion and Jumi's idea then nodded and stood up to head there. It was easy to find anyway and the flying cat simply followed. If it was not obvious if one of them was a magical girl or not, Nall sure attracted some attention on them and Jumi was already known, which lead people to believe Mitsuko might be a new one among them if she was not known at all yet. No such creature like him existed normally but he seemed to take the looks with joy while Mitsuko herself just remained quiet. She was about to show the hard evidence that she had magical powers anyhow. She had to be ready for it since she could need to transform anytime. While Nall stopped from a distance to leave her some space, some few participants of the convention were getting a little interested in him but the attention span would be mixed as soon as Mitsuko would start calling upon the power of the sword. Removing it from her neck, she summoned its power and pure light soon filled the area while her body started shining bright. Her clothes changed pieces by pieces, only making Mitsuko's body barely distinguishable for a moment until her wings appeared wide behind her, her transformation finalized by her grabbing the blade at its full size, revealing herself as the Valkyrie. Nall's face meanwhile was one of pure amazement, like he never had seen her before. Although, it was correct from a Mitsuko point of view. This is when Nall finally flew to and around her before stopping nearby. "You did it! It suits you well...!", he cheered, making her blush. One thing Mitsuko never tried until now was to use magic. Her strength in itself was already magical but she would hardly be a magical girl if she wasn't capable of displaying magic. Nall simply nodded to her and moved away before she held her blade with two hands. She needed a moment to demonstrate it but her sword soon gained a small aura of light before she gave it a swing, thankfully not sending the energy anywhere. Rather, it clinged to it, merged with it. The Valkyrie held in her hand a sword of light.

Mitsuko smiled upon coming back, looking at the cat being so comfortable with its flying in place. Her eyes then shifted to Jumi. "Ah, right... It's good to know that we have plenty of time.", she said, but still felt pressed by time with what was going on. Lenneth always being on her mind even if she tried to hide it. It was not hard for Nall to notice that she struggled with something. Perhaps he could somehow ease her mind about it. His presence, while Jumi's was much needed, could perhaps help a little too. The valkyrie did not seem like she really wanted to talk about it, though. She had recovered a little from the attack, feeling less anxious now but she still was not out of troubles and she knew it. Perhaps she was even the only one to understand how much in danger she was, IF her enemy decided to show up. In Mitsuko's mind, she didn't think that a convention of other magical girls would stop her. Although, she did not know her power compared to the magical girls in the convention but still. She was afraid. Nall watched the both of them for a while, feeling concerned but smiled anyway and flew close to her. "Why don't you show us your magic?", he proposed, not knowing if Jumi and the others saw it yet. The point was not for others to see it but for Nall to try and ease her mind, even if he had no idea what ailed her. Mitsuko blinked at the suggested and looked at Jumi, wondering if she should. Having eaten, she had regained some strength and would be able to transform now. She wanted to get an okay, first.

Nall seemed to understand the answer well, smiling at the fact that Jumi was an acquaintance of Mitsuko. Although, it seemed a little awkward even for him, trying to figure who was in the surrounding of Mitsuko. It was hard to say what he knew or what he didn't know of what had happened so far. Already him being there was strange enough. "I hope I did not interrupt anything... Waking up after so long is rough.", he told Jumi, a little embarrassed and soon stretching his body on all of its length. Nall was definitely more innocent than Rie was and it was not surprising as he was just a cat in appearance. An odd fur pattern but a small winged cat nonetheless. He kept a good attitude and only took a bite or two of food, not wanting to appear greedy. Mitsuko finally spoke, "It's only surprising to see you, is all... Were you really sleeping in this sword all this time?", she asked and Nall finally turned to her and replied, "I was! I was to wake up when the keeper of the sword would be ready.", he explained. Mitsuko did not feel exactly ready for anything right now. She gave Jumi a look too, wondering if she knew or understood what Nall was about. He looked different than anything she expected coming from the sword but he seemed kind hearted. "Well, Jumi was about to show me a way to practice with my sword. We can talk more if she does not mind...", she said, looking at her. She was done eating her ramen now and was ready to leave, if Jumi was. Nall looked at Jumi before looking back at Mitsuko. Nall finally seemed to notice the dresses being the same but he didn't really comment on it. His eyes however did seem to look curiously between the two, mostly at the clothes they wore. Mitsuko however decided to get up to go put her dishes and garbage away while Nall used his wings to start flying but remained above the table, his little wings flapping and looking like they carried his weight rather well. Instead of following Mitsuko, his eyes turned to Jumi but simply observed her for the moment.

Nall hesitantly made sure that Jumi was fine with it before grabbing a bite of food and stepping back then sitting again. Mitsuko could only stare for a bit more before Jumi brought her back to reality. "I... Maybe later... I am sorry, I didn't know it would..." She stopped for a bit, not wanting to hurt the cat like thing on their table. "I mean, hello... Your name is Nall?", she asked. The white cat turned around and smiled after swallowing his bite. "Yes. And your name is? I have been sleeping for a while.", He replied to her. Mitsuko quickly figured that this creature probably was not what communicated with her. Not if he slept within the sword, at least. "I am Mitsuko... And this is Jumi.", she replied with a smile. Nall nodded and took a better look at the sword at her neck before he responded, "Alright, Mitsuko. You and I are going to be friends.", but he turned to Jumi and continued, "Are you a good friend of Mitsuko...?", he asked Jumi, to which the valkyrie just blushed a bit and kept quiet, mostly looking at Nall's fur and details anyway...

You need to click on it. It works for me, still. The question mark is there totally on purpose because I needed to add some... mysteryyy...

I've tested a little thing myself. There is an easter egg to the post, as usual. (Those who will see the post will know which I mean). It's clickable. Anyway, I am open to comments about it. Just wanted to try something and I think it works but who knows. I guess we will see soon enough. I was preparing something weird for a while. I'm weird. ><

Mitsuko nodded while she proceeded to eat some more, finally feeling better now. Less in pain, more satisfied instead. Good for a while... "Alright, it sounds fun, I think... I will have to make sure that I change to my own form for this.", she said and looked at her own sword, its fainting glow remaining constant. Even she seemed to have noticed and it made her reach to the sword to touch it, soon slowly rubbing the glowing part of it. If anything, Mitsuko herself looked like she was confused, as if it happened for the first time. As soon as she did touch it, the faint glow seemed to give a brighter light, enough for it to be noticeable by more people, now. And like magic, a small creature of sort emerged from it only to be left suspended above the floor, in the air. A white cat-like creature with wings appeared, looking asleep for the moment but it didn't take long for it to wake up, slowly, opening its red eyes and taking a look around itself. Mitsuko could only stare in silence as this was the least expected outcome happening from her sword. The creature seemed to take a look at Mitsuko first, then at Jumi and finally at the food on the table. A wide smile forming on its face. "Fooooooood...! This scent... I must have it!", a small yet loud voice was cast from it, leaving Mitsuko still speechless for the time being. The creature flew to the table and landed on it, its size was about a human head or about. Surprisingly, it only took one look at Mitsuko before it turned to Jumi and sat down in front of her. "Hi! I am Nall! You don't mind if I take a bite, do you? I think I did not eat in decades.", the cat creature told her.

Mitsuko took the time to taste her ramen before she gave a look to Jumi. Training was what it sounded like... And she was indeed new, putting aside her own secret training that probably was not in any ways as advanced as what magical girls themselves had. Still... She had to find more about what this sword was about. How it communicated with her and what it was capable of. What she was capable of. It was only a matter of time before she would find out all of it and now was a chance at it, having Jumi's help to do so. "I am not very competitive but I would not mind trying your ideas. I know I will have to fight a real enemy sometimes. I wish to find what my own powers are about... I will do what you're telling me.", She told Jumi before she took more bites of her food. Mitsuko looked down at her sword to her neck, looking as normal as it tried to appear to be. The small gem on it however gave a very faint glow unlike anything it did before. It was barely noticeable but the magic aura from it was also detectable by those gifted by magic.

Mitsuko nodded to Jumi and picked her food, which was a single person meal. She was not greedy for more than she could handle or anything but she had a belly to fill. "Alright, I got it..." She said and waited for the Fairy since she probably wanted to pick some food as well. Once they did, she headed to a table and sat down, finally getting a whiff of nice food. "This is going to be good..." Mitsuko voiced then started digging in. At first, it looked like she had not eaten for days but she tried to keep an appropriate manner.

Mitsuko looked surprised by the idea that someone could actually sell a cosplay version of her own magical armor but Jumi was right... If she accomplished any amazing deeds, she could be recognized enough to see something like that happen. It felt a little embarrassing to think about but she probably would be fine with it when the moment comes. With the proposition to finally find something to eat, Mitsuko showed a smile and left the room pretty quickly. Nothing could stop her now... Hopefully, at least... There was only so much she could take before she does die of hunger... Right now, she did not focus on anything else but food. Anything that looked remotely delicious would do fine. Mitsuko could even just eat some ramen and she would be happy. In fact, she even had found some and it didn't take long before she made a choice. "Here... Let's get some. I can't stand being hungry for much longer...", she told to Jumi, looking like she was really suffering. It didn't take long before hunger turned into stomach ache.

Mitsuko felt a little embarrassed by all this but she also figured that these clothes could be temporary until she went to pick some of her own clothes. Still, for the sake of all that happened between her and Jumi, it was best to not go too wild with clothes. Nothing too revealing, for the time being, maybe not something from a magical girl she didn't quite know either. Jumi seemed to like the idea of having some matching outfits as well, having mentioned it more than once by now. There was no harm in going along with that. "Thank you, Jumi... But I will probably go with your original idea for now... When I head back home quickly, I will go pick some of my own clothes.", Mitsuko told her friend before she picked up an outfit of the Fairy's tastes. Taking off her towel, she didn't mind dressing up right there with her watching her. The colors definitely didn't fit her own kind that she usually wore, even mismatching her hair, but she did not mind for the time being. Cosplaying as the Fairy could be interesting, as long as she did not show her own wings. Once done, adjusting the ribbons and details on the outfit, she stood there for Jumi to see and judge. Being covered felt nice, at least. The clothes were comfortable and could last for a while. Mitsuko was dressed the same but everything of her hair and eyes made her very different from the original. She was a kind of odd incomplete copy of Jumi but the dress otherwise was pretty. She felt like she could walk freely in this dress without too much worry. At best, she might even be hard to recognize visually so that was good.

Mitsuko took a good look at Jumi, wondering if that was the best solution but she did not argue. Simply nodding, she made it back to the room and waited there, hearing and feeling her stomach being in pain more and more. "I am fated to suffer for eternity...", she muttered, only really complaining about how hungry she was. Comically, situations kept coming up that always pushed her away from the chance of eating something but realistically, she knew it was for a greater good. Eat early but naked or later but safely dressed. She waited and waited, until she finally saw Jumi come back but with a pile of clothes. Her eyes widened as she saw the effort her friend had put to get something she could possibly like. "Y-you went all out... You didn't have to do so much, Jumi...", she told her, staring at the pile she had brought. At the same time, there were many good looking options in there. Some of which had colors of the Fairy's own dress. "The only problem now is I don't know what to choose... What would you recommend...?", she asked Jumi, looking lost.

Mitsuko blinked as she eyed down at herself. The idea that anyone would try to touch her made her blush but she simply nodded to Jumi. "Alright... It's true that I did not think about what I would look in front of everyone. I thought we would stay where no one can see us... I would not mind having a dress like yours for the time being, though.", she admitted, presuming they were of her size. Realistically, it would not be a good idea to step in public being so under dressed. She was alright with Jumi but it still was risky to proceed. Squeezing her hand gently, Mitsuko looked at her friend. "Um... Maybe it's best I wait here... I don't think I want everyone to see me like this... You're free to pick anything you like for me, though.", she told her with a smile, trusting Jumi to make the right choice for her. She would be waiting in the hall meanwhile where barely anyone can see her. It was best like that for now and food would come right after so she remained motivated for it, for now. Mitsuko had worse pain than a stomach pain that could wait a moment longer.

Mitsuko looked slightly bothered but she figured that maybe nobody else had met with her yet. When she thought about it, she didn't really know much about her opponent at all herself. Clearly, she got involved into something pretty important or so it seemed. "I see... I understand.", she replied. At least she was letting Jumi know so if she saw her, she would know who is after her. For now, there was more important to think about, as long as Lenneth did not show herself up randomly like she did in her bedroom... Jumi appeared to have the same thought when she mentioned breakfast. Mitsuko required it more and more. Her body was starting to beg her for food. There was not much for her to get ready with, though. A towel to hide her body, although her wings made that difficult to manage. It was a miracle that her towel had held for so long before. Trying to focus her mind on them, she tried to wish for them to be gone somehow. As if they responded to her wish, they soon vanished, making her smile in the process. Now, Mitsuko tightened a long towel around her body, adjusted her hair then nodded to Jumi. "I will be alright like this... For now...", she told her. It was odd to simply go along with being mostly naked but she was more comfortable with it around her, anyway. It was not anything new in general. The circumstances made it more strange than usual but she tried not to be too bothered by it. As she was done, she left the bathroom but waited for Jumi to lead her wherever she preferred. She'd finally manage to eat.

Mitsuko gave a little smile in response to Jumi telling her that she was not a bird. It was a funny question but an interesting one nonetheless. Maybe her own wings would allow her to do more. She moved to go dry herself as well. The part she was told about the training was understandable but she nonetheless had concerns she had fears about. If she could not be minimally prepared, what would be the worst that she would do to her... Or to anyone now close to her...? After all, she was in her room in the midst of the night. "Maybe it's best I tell you more about her...", Mitsuko said as she grabbed a towel. What had happened was so fast but at the same time, the little information she had may still be a decent warning for Jumi and the others. "The one who is after me named herself Lenneth... She was half of my size but the strength she had was monstrous. I'm still surprised that she did not kill me. She was dressed a little strange, though... In blue, a little like her hair. Oh, and she had furred ears. And a tail. But she looked like a magical girl herself." The last part probably came as most surprising. Or not, depending on what Jumi knew of all kinds of magical girls. Mitsuko continued, trying to remember the details of what being knocked through a wall didn't erase. "I could not really sense anything in her but she did not give any hints of being a demon... Though I'm no expert. If she is one, I could have been fooled to believe she was one of us... She said that she wanted the sword. I did not see any weapons so perhaps it really is hers. I don't know why it chose me."

Mitsuko went along with what she was told... Her wings looked special but just as much as hers were. Only, in a different manner. She didn't quite understand her own wings but they felt natural. Like they were connected to her will or feelings somehow. Maybe she would have some control over them soon... For now, if she touched Jumi's wings, she still proceeded carefully but out of curiosity. Her own were all feathery in comparison. Like an angel... Mitsuko didn't know if that fit her well but she liked Jumi's wings and their colors. Once done, she let Jumi go and dry off, relaxing a little on her side to prepare for doing the same but her eyes quickly noticed the girl standing there for her eyes. The one who she had played games with so closely the night before, in full sight in front of her from a short distance. It made her blush but she kept a satisfied, graceful smile. Mitsuko enjoyed the sight for now while listening to her. "I'm afraid I don't know how my wings work yet... I think they respond to the way I feel and I think they're honest at it, too...", she replied to her. Moving closer, she focused a little more on her idle wings but they did not do much for her. Maybe they were not exactly part of the form but were more like a magical power of hers. She probably was not ready to go this far yet, which was fine. She still had much to learn. A question still floated on her mind as she looked at Jumi. "Can you fly with yours...?", Mitsuko asked, thinking it made sense to ask. But afterwards, there was more to think about as well. "And... Would you come with me for training? After we have eaten.", she queried.

Mitsuko blinked, having forgotten about the hair entirely. "W-what? But we... I mean... We can go back if you wish...", she blushed a little, by the turn of this event. But as she felt like she had to do something, she opened her eyes, finally noticing and controlling them. For now, however, She wanted to do this for her, as thanks for what help she brought her. Mitsuko held her hand and returned to the showers, dropping her towel again for this then brought Jumi to prepare her hair to be washed. Then she picked up the shampoo. For once, with all that had happened, Mitsuko seemed to have retrieved her calm as she enjoyed treating Jumi's hair and lathering them with shampoo. She treated them like it was her own, making sure that all of it was clean. Her hands would also be gentle on her head and as she handled her hair. It took a good moment, considering Jumi's amount of hair, to get it all but once she was done, Mitsuko would gently rinse her hair afterwards. All of her movements were delicate and careful for her. Soon enough, she finished and moved away.

Mitsuko was going to walk away, simply. She did not know where exactly she wanted to go but she would have went to practice her new powers after finding something to eat, probably. Yet... The embrace she felt made her freeze, a bit of it in surprise and another, in having no idea how to react to it. Her eyes stared into the abyss for a moment before they simply shifted their gaze down. Mitsuko had felt a lot of positive emotions but she had disregarded her negative ones and it slowly was catching up to her, at that moment... And yet... Jumi was the one protecting her now. Something Mitsuko hoped to turn around sometimes. Something she would not be able to do until she properly handled the blade she was gifted by gods, or so she thought of it that way. "I...", She started but went silent, looking down still as she tried not to lose control of her emotions. The last part felt stronger on her. She knew however that her mother would be alright. But Jumi was giving her a place to stay... A place for her to feel accepted for who she was or who she became... The hunger went quiet for the moment as Mitsuko was focused on the girl trying to hold her from doing a mistake that could cost her life. Her hand slowly moved to touch hers before she turned around, her eyes slightly wet although she tried to hide it. She simply nodded to her, putting on a smile for her. "A-alright... I trust you... Thank you, Jumi...", she said softly, staying there as long as Jumi wanted. Her wings formed once more, seemingly a little longer again as they surrounded the both of them. Mitsuko was feeling at peace.

Mitsuko was going along with Jumi, patiently listening but still troubled somewhat. Being explained how Rie was would be one thing and she was ready to give her a chance but it unexpectedly had turned a bit sour. Still... It didn't change the way she had behaved and how Mitsuko felt a certain disapproval with it. "Maybe... But... The way she put it did not feel right. She has it wrong... I don't have to get used to her and the way she is. I've wanted to be in your team because I felt like this may be a great step for me to learn. But..." She bit her lip, not wanting to speak too out of line. "It's probably best that you did not... You and her seem to get along well and I was ready to leave you be if you needed some time together. It's just...", she paused for a moment then continued, "I do not know if I have what it takes to be in your team. My world and yours are very different. Now that I was almost killed by... I am not sure who that was... I am forced to get stronger before she comes back. She was fearsome and maybe I should not put you in danger for my sake." Mitsuko had gained this sword for a reason, perhaps ultimately to fight Lenneth, and she was slowly feeling bad feeling this much for a stranger she had just met. She would not be much of a protector if this girl showed up now. Rie was a problem for another day but it didn't help her mood thinking about what was awaiting her. What had shattered what courage she thought she had. She looked annoyed and anxious but as she thought about what more she could say, her hunger was making her feel worse at the moment... Sighing softly, Mitsuko just continued her way in the hope she could find food somewhere. Even if she wanted, she would not be capable of transforming right now so her magical clothes were out of question. She had to find something to bite on in order to gain her strength back. Healing was nice but it didn't help with that. Healing. Mitsuko sighed again, thinking about what had happened so far. She also tried to remember what Ellie had told her before. She had to remain strong but she also had to challenge herself somehow.

Mitsuko remained by herself for a bit but still listened. She was not exactly liking half of what she heard, despite giving an effort to get along with them. For one, it sounded a lot like she might be forced to accept certain behaviors and she was not sure if she was up to it. There was a lot she liked and was ready to adapt to with Jumi but for Rie, it was another story. She had not expected for things to turn that way. Mitsuko liked the kind and open side of Jumi but the strict lecturing nature of Rie was going to be difficult. For now, she thought best to remain quiet. She had said enough and speaking more would only make it worse. Her wings seemed to respond to her emotions as they slowly vanished as well. Mitsuko closed her eyes for now, focusing entirely on her shower. At least until Jumi, for reasons, came toward her. Her encouragement always made her smile but she looked away, finishing and making sure everything was done and clean, especially lower. "I don't know if I will able to... I will try for you, though...", she replied... Her voice didn't really seem as motivated as her words. If Jumi was capable of handling Rie then that was one thing less to worry about. For now, Mitsuko wanted to focus on her own self, starting with food and then better understanding her magical form and the sword hanging to her neck. Turning around, she quietly left the room and simply picked a towel to cover herself with. It was good enough to cover both her chest and below. She felt clean and fresh and that was good enough for her, for the time being, at least.

Mitsuko frowned as she was accused of something she had not really implied. Just, she didn't want things to turn too awkward. She didn't want to sound too protective either. Still Jumi made her think of a way everyone would be happy. "Then perhaps we should wait until then. We would not want to exhaust ourselves already, right?", she proposed, as an idea, to wait until the evening. Mitsuko herself had a bonus now in the shower but it still made her feel slightly tired already. The lack of nutrition did not exactly help. Moving away from them, she didn't want to interfere between them if they wanted to do anything. Being so out of line on her first day would not look too good. "I'm sorry, I will leave you be for now..." , she told them before she headed to finish showering herself for now, leaving them some privacy. She was almost forgetting Jumi's hair but she thought Rie could handle it herself anyway. Her body felt nice but she still had to wash her hair herself. And then... She didn't exactly have clothes right now except for her magical ones. She also had these wings out, oddly but she liked them. They were magical but they were also part of her, somewhat. Mitsuko didn't pay attention to them for now, anyway. Instead, she focused on washing her own hair in order to be able to leave the room clean. The thought of food was starting to get more and more tempting as the time passed. Her belly was also starting to let it be known but she tried not to pay attention to it, making like she was not hearing anything if it growled. Instead, she tried to finish her cleaning.

Mitsuko watched the two but felt somewhat uncomfortable with what was going on. She liked what pleasure she had gotten, what she had given but this game between them felt a little wrong. Not because Mitsuko was jealous or anything but because it felt forced. Jumi did not really seem like she wanted to do it and besides, there were plans for her to show things to her in given time. If she really wanted to go along with this, she would let them of course but she was starting to feel like she had to speak despite being new among them right now. Frowning a bit, Mitsuko thought before she said, "I'm sorry, miss Rie but... Jumi does not look like she wants to. I appreciate what you've done but please do not force her...". Her protective nature showed its light but she was not going to fight anyone if they wanted their way. She felt like leaving them be would be best if it came up to it. For the time being, she stood nearby but with one arm between them. She knew she was overstepping her bound but it was out of loyalty for Jumi. For what she had learned of her and what she wanted to protect.
