...Well. You're not going to really do that, as much as it's tempting. Kirishima Ruri is proving to be a somewhat decent perrson, despite the fact that she'd done pretty much everything she could to piss you off. From what she's told you - and you're trying your best to give her the benefit of the doubt, here - she was only testing you, or something along those lines. The stuff Iori told you about her? Simply her looking out for a fellow idol, because apparently she knows first-hand just how bad of an idea it is to have a Magical Girl for a partner.

Of course, it does have to be said...why'd she pick this suite, when she knows fully well that Iori was almost raped here?

"Hmm?" Ruri blinks up at you as she opens yet another hulking piece of luggage. You glance at its contents, expecting more hardware, like the rifle she'd just unpacked and assembled - but it's only clothes. Idol stuff. "Oh, that! Well, I wanted Iori-chan to get over that incident, too. One time we passed by here, she very nearly threw up because of the trauma. I thought...well, I should show her how it's not the same room anymore. I heard the hotel management pretty much had everything stripped and burned and replaced, even the flooring." She taps a heeled foot on the floor.

"I wanted to show her that she shouldn't dwell on it anymore, and whoever did it...well, they're not going to do it anymore, thanks to Chiaki-chan." It's here that she whistles slightly. "I watched that video as soon as it went online, you know. So brutal. So chilling." The idol shakes her head, shivering slightly as she hugs herself. "Still...it must be pretty nice to be protected by someone as dependable as you, Chiaki-chan."

Dependable? You audibly snort at this. You fell asleep on the job. You very nearly slept through the entire thing, if it weren't for--

[1/2]

>>25733112

You barely manage to stop yourself here. ...No. No one outside the industry needs to know about Pinky, or about what happened in that hotel suite.

Wait. WAIT. What video?!

"You didn't know?" Ruri blinks as she steps away from her luggage, walking towards you with her smartphone out. "Apparently those guys who tried to do the job on Iori was using a webcast camera. Only they set it so that once it detected that nothing was happening that it'd stop recording and upload the entire thing." She taps at her screen with a perfectly-manicured finger, before flipping the screen towards you. What you see is a high-definition recording of you...well, shooting Iori's would-be rapists dead.

And you were laughing. You...yo're sure you weren't, at that time. But you were laughing, a rough cackling that reached its crescendo as something golden and shiny snapped into your hand, bucking as it spat fire and brimstone.

But...but if the video did go out, then...

"It got deleted as soon as it came up, but a few people saw it and saved it." Ruri says, stepping up beside you so you could both watch it, and you could feel the soft heat of her body as she presses against your side. Her lightly-perfumed scent - one of a sugary peppermint - filling your nostrils.

Another finger comes up as she fast-forwards the entire video. "Don't worry, the video doesn't show Iori=chan at all. I've made sure to buy the license to the video and have it blocked from everywhere, too, so that she doesn't see it again by accident."

That's...huh. Despite how disconcerting it is to watch you gleefully murder a bunch of people who really deserved it, you think that Ruri seems to be not all that bad. Sort of.

"Really?" She grins cheekily at this, pressing against you just a bit more. "Ah, but I'm the sneaky, scheming idol, right? You should be careful about me, you know, Chiaki-chan. I could turn on you right this instant, and you'd be helpless."

[2/3]

>>25733126

You narrow your eyes at her, before gently shrugging her off. Restoring the distance between you and your client.

She can fuck around with you like this, sure. You'll let it pass to an extent. But she shouldn't do any more of the stuff she did earlier.

"Hai, hai~" Ruri snaps a sharp, textbook salute, one that's spoiled somewhat by the fact that she's winking while doing so. "No more funny stuff, Chiaki-chan! You can count on me!"

Well. So long as that's straightened out.

You idly rub at your arm - the arm that'd Ruri had, either by accident or design - had pressed herself against. It was...warm and nice, sure. But nothing you shouldn't care about.

You should start giving the room a once-over, then. For security purposes.

With a metallic snap, your Shield materializes around your right arm, clicking faintly before falling silent.

Where should you start?

[]In the bathroom.

>clicking faintly before falling silent
Guys I don't think we really need to talk to Pinky just yet. That seems more like a 'don't do anything stupid, Homura-chan' signal than 'PAY ATTENTION TO ME'.

>>25733294
That would be the most shocking twist yet. Somehow Midori's illusion causing Chiaki to go into a coma where she's been dreaming everything since. Possibly some of it being thought up by Pinky for Reasons.

In the real world, the Iori mission was totally botched, Midori's still hiding in a dark corner of the 10th Officio condo feeling miserable, and everyone else wonders when Murderface is going to wake up...........

>>25733144
[X] Ask Ruri what the box that Noriko was so scared about is and say it isn't her fault

>>25733373
We already cleared that up.
But we should ask about the box, just for comedy's sake.

>>25733366

It would probably be a Shyamalanian twist at this point.

Suppose we should also mention that we're not going on stage with her. Not in-character.

>>25733407
Oh yeah
Then ask what the box she was so scared about was because I want it to be something stupidly simple and non threatening

>>25733498

>a box where every side is a lcd screen of people laughing and pointing at the screen.

Wait, so there are a select few otaku who got to see our snuff film. This is the kind of thing that when you try to cover it up it only comes out even more. Just like with the shit we do on 4chan, someone on their forums has already posted a pic showing the similarity's between us then and us now.

We are going to end up getting stalked for this.

Someone is going to find where we live, where we work, and post pictures of us coming and going on some forum.

>>25733644

Sounds like a good marketing piece, to be honest.

>>25733644
Which is why we should call QB while inspecting the room. And yell at him, a lot.

>>25733644

And then someone pays for a Chiaki-rape video, and we use Midori to nightmare-mode THEM andthenthecyclewillbecomplete.jpg

>>25733644

Ruri did damage control.

Kyubey would have done some too, probably more thorough than anything that Ruri can manage.

If you're really worried about it, text the cat or something.

>>25733677

I'm sure they have done all they can, but we just went live for a webcast with millions of viewers. They are all probably in a 2ch thread gushing over it right now. There only needs to be one guy to post a picture at this point for all of them to know.

You decide to check the bedroom first. It's the main area of the suite, anyway, and you're already here. But...you should probably check to see if you're not currently snoring in some Callidus' barrier before that. Not that you're paranoid or anything. It's just you being careful. Cautious. Professional.

Midori taught you this trick, during your final days in Sibaria. Apparently, Callidus are also trained to detect illusionary barriers, just in case a double agent or whatever is trying to get the jump on them. All they had to do was to get their Soul Gem back in its jewel form, and think very hard about finding a Witch in the vicinity. Apparently, the Barrier of a Witch and a Callidus were quite similar, and anyone's Soul Gem would react distinctly to either once they were close enough.

She did warn you, however, that it's not exactly a one-hundred percent thing. Some Callidus are known to be very good with their illusions, and it takes more than that to root them out. But in that case, Midori would sense it - and immediately contact you through your attunement with her. The both of you tried it out, during one evening - and you discovered that you could talk to each other with short sentences just fine, only that it was completely exhausting to keep up for a while. You agreed on only doing it during emergencies.

You tell Ruri to go back to whatever she was doing - the idol giggling here, before doing exactly that - and it's with your back turned to her that you manifest your Soul Gem back into the form that reminds you of an overly-elaborate Christmas tree bauble. You tap at the golden gilding gently, peering at the darkened purple gemstone - before taking a deep breath, closing your eyes, and concentrating. If there was a Witch or Callidus Barrier nearby, then it'd grow warm, almost hot in your hand, and glow in urgent pulses.

[1/2]

>>25733698

Only takes one magical hacker to shut down everything. Though it's probably more efficient to just have a bunch of people laughing at the "obviously doctored videos".

Whatever the case, it's really a minor thing, no? Murderface is already a legend so there's probably dozen of such "sighting videos" and things floating around.

One more won't change a thing.

You open your eyes after a moment, and see that the Soul Gem is inert. Nothing. Witch Barrier OR Callidus Barrier.

And Midori hasn't contacted you yet.

...Well, that's good enough. For now.

You turn slightly to glance at Ruri. She's humming as she holds up what seems like a very frilly and very...scant nightgown, holding it against her and looking at the mirror. Normal stuff.

You shake your head as your soul gem sparks into existence on the back of your right hand.

Idols.

You give the bedroom - and the living room, as well - the once-over you also gave it a few lifetimes ago, back when all you were guarding was a brown-haired idol getting on your case for not taking personal hygiene all that seriously. Nothing seems to be untoward, here - no hidden cameras, no weak locks or anything that could give easily with a shove. Nobody hiding underneath the bed or in the closets, either. The ceiling, which once had a skylight, was now firmly boarded up and skylight-less, so you won't have to worry about operapists rappeling down from it ever again.

"Chiaki-chan, can I ask you a question?" Ruri suddenly asks you, as you go down on your knees to look for anything under the furniture. Bugs and whatnot. "That Magical Girl whose knees you shot off in the video. What happened to her?"

...Well. She didn't even wait for you to say if she could ask you, but...

How do you respond?

[]None of your business.
[]Tell her about Midori.
[]Lie.

Kyuubey told us to take it easy on the shield because he didn't know what too much use would do to it.

He didn't order us to use it less, he didn't say that using it too much would break it he just said that he couldn't tell us how to fix it and just to take it easy until we knew more

Considering Midori's tendency to lie to save face, I've always imagined the otaku-neet ex-boyfriend, who got compared to Souji and was only mentioned once, as her "manga drawing assistant who she says is her boyfriend because it's to embarrassing to say otherwise."

The Tenth is a stupid dickbutt of an Incubator. Even the other Incubators think so! He wouldn't know anything important at all.
I hope we get to exploderate him soon.

>>25734089
>The Tenth Incubator was surprised it was even possible for Midori to switch Officios.
He wasn't surprised so much as annoyed because its apparently looked down upon by other Incubators.

>>25734111
We need to find a way to permanently exploderate him though

We need to convince him that we are going to just keep killing him so giving up is the better option but how we would actually keep spawn camping him is problematic

>>25733993
I can bet my arse that she already knows of Midori's status. She has proven to have a lot of resources at her disposal; a half-truth would be better than a whole lie.

Again she hasn't known anything that she could not have gotten out of Iori or by anyone with access to general magical girl information

When she does something like ask us about how Midori is going after her time in Siberia then we can spill the beans

>>25734188
If she implies that she knows about anything that actually HAPPENED in Siberia, we're only going to "spill the beans" in as much as we'll be asking her to spill the beans in a very dark, very cold room after shooting her legs off as to where she gets her intel.

You give the underside of the sofa another thorough look, before finally getting back up, patting your knees clean as you do so. Everything seems clean, from what your initial sweep tells you. That leaves the bathroom, which you make a beeline for. It's also here that you decide to indulge Kirishima Ruri on her curiosity.

The Magical Girl whose knees you shot off in the video? Well, if Ruri was at all familiar with standard operating procedure as far as captured Magical Girls are concerned, they're usually taken to a cold and dark room where they can't do any harm. They're kept there for a while until they're ready to be interrogated, the methods of which an idol like her doesn't really need to know. After that, depending on how the captured Magical Girl behaves - and the general temperament of those who captured her - then she's either set free and left to return to her Officio in shame, or killed and then disposed of.

"Has anyone ever told you that it's scary, the way you talk about stuff like that and sound like you don't care at all?" Ruri says this just as you check the bathroom's expansive clothes closet for anything amiss. Her voice trembling just so very slightly. "But hee, it's a bit exciting. Oh, please continue, sorry to interrupt."

Has anyone ever told her she was strange as fuck? Of course, you don't say this, merely grunting in annoyance before continuing.

You followed standard operating procedure on the Magical Girl, to the letter - except for the last bit. That was taken conveniently out of your hands by your boss. The last thing you know is that she's somewhere else, alive and well and most likely going to think twice before she takes another job like that.

[1/2]

>>25734335

"Hoh~ I see, I see. That's just a bit too convenient, though, but I'll take it, I suppose. I wanted to hear a sad ending, but a happy ending's not all that bad." Ruri's voice seems to grow wistful at this, before turning cheeky yet again. "Although...it'd be weird, wouldn't it, if you somehow fell in love with that Magical Girl instead of killing her like you were supposed to? Right, Chiaki-chan?"

...Just how much does this fucking idol KNOW?

You open your mouth to snap a reply, before seeing what looks like a frilly pair of green-striped underwear lying on the sink.

AND WHY ARE IDOLS ALWAYS LEAVING THEIR PANTIES AROUND FOR YOU TO FIND? FUCK.

How do you respond?

>>25734347

>>25734347
"What sort of manga have you been reading, Ruri? Real life doesn't work like that. "

I don't exactly think you know enough about love to run your mouth about it.

Well, gee, It's incredible how much this girl knows.

Almost like she's some kind of PROPHET or something.

>>25734381

>>25734347

>>25734394
Whether she's a saint or a sinner, she's been really fucking with us, and if we have to make a shot to the beanbag to get her to back off, then so be it, if you ask me.

>>25734394
And Murderface is the paragon of tact?

Cool your Shadowruns, bro; us doing weird stuff with Midori was what eightysixed the Iori route in the first place.

>>25734347
[x] "What is it with idols and never picking up after themselves? This yours?"

>>25734399
Actually, with Murderface it WAS kill whatever crosses her path.

>>25734347
Is it an idol thing to leave panties in the sink?
Like some sort of secret code amongst you lot?

And the world really is quite boring, stories of enemies becoming lovers or redemption for these lead astray don't really happen, what does happen is that people die and are generally killed by those who are little better than them at best. At worst they die after becoming the sort of monsters they were brought up believing they should fight against

>>25734466

Shoot your problem with bullets.
If this does not solve your problem, keep shooting.
Keep shooting the resulting consequences of your problem, until you run out of problems.

Murderface!

She's attempting to rattle us or confirm suspicions by idly saying things like that. Whether she actually knows or not is debatable.

Although, if she has extremely fanatical fans or informants in mundane positions around the city, it would not be that far-fetched if she was informed that a certain broccoli-head was seen with some Mayumi cosplayer.

[X] "Wouldn't it be funny if you put your panties in the goddamned laundry? Seriously, is this an idol thing? Leaving morsels for scumbags to flip for a quick buck?"

>>25734466
Well, I'd like to think we've improved a bit since then. So we should advertise as such.
We haven't killed anyone in, like, almost a week now!

>>25734490

I can imagine Midori putting up a 'You have managed to avoid killing somebody for XX days' poster on the wall, and giving Chiaki a thumbs up as she swaps out the numbers to '5'.

>>25734347
I like this one:
>>25734523

>>25734388

Possible. The head could have been done by a hired goon of some sort.

We should ask about the box or that Ruri look-alike thing. Turn the pace around and ask her some questions again.

>>25734561
Why did I just picture that being part of a cheesy 80's montage?

>>25734576
You were supposed to kill a girl? That's a little odd, even before the part where how you got together with her afterwards.

>>25734576
the point is to pretend that Midorin is working for our officio but has no type of relationship with us at all.
We should send her a quick message to see what sh's up to when we get the chance.

We should probably ask Midori to throw a few red herrings into her mango when she gets the chance. The last thing we need is an accurate representation of our life just out there. Ruri probably only reads the manga and picks out the details, which is why she knows so much.

>>25734594

Haha.
>Midori intercepting a cig going into Chiaki's mouth
>Midori refilling all of the booze with water in the bottles in Chiaki's secret stash.
>Midori updating the day counter again
>Tugging on Chiaki's cheeks to try and get her to smile properly
>A tattered and bloody Chiaki and Midori walking into the warmaster quarters at the end of a busy day. Midori dispondantly pulls the day counter off the poster while Chiaki lights up a cig.

>>25734660
Uh, Iori spilled, like, everything.

On the subject of Shadowruns:

Ruri's info is way too accurate and too up to date.

I'm not saying she's The Prophet like some other anon suggested, but there's definitely something fishy with how she keeps coming up with information and pushing Chiaki's buttons.

If everybody weren't so decided on playing nice, I'd suggest trying to scare her into spilling.

>>25734660
I don't think Midori has actually gotten too much of our real life into the manga yet anyway
Remember she had a backlog of unreleased stuff over ten volumes long so anything she is still writing will only be coming out when they clear it up

>>25734676

I do think that we need to grab Iori and figure out just exactly how much she's spilled to Ruri.

>>25734676
She's running interference for or assisting Oriko (Or some other person who is a prophet). Why? Because the person knows about Homu's powers.

Possibility: Mami is a distraction and Homura is the actual target.

>>25734712

Likely everything.

When one is infatuated, he/she tends to spew every possible thing about him/her.

>>25734660
On the other hand, it's pretty interesting to see Midori turn people like Kharn and Pinky into h-characters, so I'm kind of tempted to let that part keep going.

>>25734712

She's coming up with info that Iori has no way of sharing because she doesn't know. So that is out as a source.

There's a chance that she's just throwing guesses out to see what Chiaki reacts to, but the rest of her information has been spot on.

It's just pretty weird, I think.

>>25734670
Actually she would probably be replacing whiskey with cold tea

Watered down black tea can pass for whiskey or bourbon at a glance

>>25734745
She actually isn't coming up with anything
We are spilling far too much in our answers and she so far is just fishing

>>25734745

Yes, but sadly we can't just start BLAM'ing everybody who knows something about us. This one's been fishy from the get-go, but this isn't the 'kill all the things so there's no loose ends' mission.

Yet. I mean, despite the fact that Ruri is triggering a ton of people's shadowruns, we just can't waste her to be sure.

>Suddenly the second season of GITS:SAC makes more sense to me now.

>>25734610
>You were supposed to kill a girl? That's a little odd, even before the part where how you got together with her afterwards.

No, the part about her panties lying around in the bathroom.

>>25734745
>>25734763
>>25734777

I dunno. She's been very spot-on with little input from us. Or maybe because my "Shadowrun" meter is ticking madly at the moment. We'll just have to see how this'll go.

>>25734793
What she has been spot on about has been things Iori could have told about us
What she hasn't been spot on about she could be fishing for information and we are connecting too many dots

>>25734793
You're probably right, but for this specific situation, it is worth considering that Chiaki's hung out with Midori in public (at the very least heading to the airport, probably other times that slip my mind) which could have been seen, and Ruri might have gotten a clear look at Midori in the video, and then she put two and two together. Unlikely but not impossible.

>>25734821
>>25734793
For example she is asking what happened to the girl we shot the legs out of then randomly went to falling in love with her
I don't think that Chiaki has reall fallen in love with Midori despite going out on limb for her in getting her switched to Coobie

Also given Ruri has been around for a while she may know Kharn and we know how good she is with secrets

That video thing is going to be pretty harsh if that finds any traction. Because EVERYONE'S going to want to get their hands on "See a popular idol almost get raped until she's saved by a lunatic schoolgirl with a gun in each hand messily murdering everyone" tape that was supposedly DELETED FROM THE INTERNET. "See what the government didn't want you to know!" or something.

Not only is it a blow to Iori, it also wouldn't look good for Midori to be identified as aiding and abetting in the crime.

>>25734670
Drawfags, you know what to do

>>25734858
It has been a while since it was out and if that hasn't happened already then I really doubt it is

I am inclined to think Ruri actually has this under wraps aside from a few people who saved it

>>25734858
Somehow, I don't think she was telling the truth about how she got it.

We seriously need to doublecheck with Coobs about that.

>>25734844
>>25734832

In short, she's tying to get a rise out of us. I don't know how to counter-troll her, sadly.

She has no openings which we could use to troll her with.

>>25734939
Oh, she's got at least three openings i'd like to troll her in.

Rusi Kirishima

>>25734939
With a few well placed gunshots we could make some openings...

>>25734939
Have we encountered the god of ruse?

>>25734952
Can we troll her three openings with magical appendages?

Ruri:
_ Is a magical girl. Most likely Callidus.
_ Sent Midori and a rape squad to take out Yayoi and Iori. She asked about Midori to see if she would need to tie up some loose ends.
_ Was in love with a Vindicare?
__ Was that Vindicare Homura Akemi?

>>25735114

No one ever said that Ruri was a Vindicare.

>>25735200

She said the rifle was a family heirloom.

>>25735171
I'll update it for you

Ruri:
_ Is a magical girl. Most likely Callidus.
__ Is the Prophet
__ Posesses a Golden Weapon
___ That causes hypnosis and/or absolute mind control
_ Sent Midori and a rape squad to take out Yayoi and Iori. She asked about Midori to see if she would need to tie up some loose ends.
_ Was in love with a Vindicare?
__ Was that Vindicare Homura Akemi?
_ Is an android

>>25735171
Kirishima Ruri is just a stage name. Her real name is Mikuni Oriko.

>>25735238
The rifle belonged to the girl she was in love with. Fuck.

>>25735250
We've met Oriko before.

Which would mean Ruri is a Callidus who was dating a Vindicare. Who may have been Homura Akemi. Oh god, history really is repeating itself...

>>25735258
>"What, this?" She looks down at the rifle on her lap. It's almost fully assembled, save for the magazine. You narrow your eyes at it, and Ruri catches your gaze. She giggles, and shows you that it's empty. "calm down. I never bring ammunition to a concert. And this is a family heirloom - I take it with me and clean it to calm myself down. It's also my good luck charm, see?" She fingers the ribbon tied around the scope.
>And this is a family heirloom

Learn to read before you Shadowruns.

>>25735258

Family. Heirloom.

>>25735267

>>25735267
Because she totally wouldn't lie about that.

>>25735267
>How...how did she know about Magical Girls in the first place?
>"By falling in love with one." Ruri replies in a distant whisper, turning her back once more to you, as she looks back at the rifle.

Did YOU read what you pasted just now?

>She fingers the ribbon tied around the scope.

That ribbon. We have a clue here.

>>25735266

>>25735293

Well she WAS cleaning and assembling the rifle while we were talking to her.

If she was done speaking, she'd turn back to it.

>>25735310
And now read the description of the rifle. Does it sound like anything used by a professional hitman? Just connect the dots.

Falling in love? Heh. That'd be something. Unfortunately, that's optimistic - and you don't do optimistic. You tell the idol this as you step out of the freshly-inspected bathroom, holding out the pair of underwear you found, pinched between thumb and fingertip. You see Ruri grinning at you as she looks up from her luggage - before blinking somewhat as she sees what you're currently holding.

"I...um...I could explain that, I was--" The idol stutters, suddenly off-balance for the first time since you met, before you shake your head and toss the scrap of cotton and silk at her direction. Whatever her explanation is, you don't want to hear it - only that she should probably learn that there's a thriving market for an idol's used panties, and she should pack a bit more neatly. And used clothes go IN the hamper, not all over the place.

"Aheh. I'll...I'll remember that. Sorry..." Ruri knuckles her forehead, sheepishly sticking a tongue out in yet another cute, endearing idol-gesture. Making you quickly avert your eyes AND dampen what little satisfaction you earned from being able to lecture someone who earns millions just by prancing around on a stage while singing badly.

...Man. It's only been the first day, and you're already sick of this mission. It can't end soon enough, can it?

"I don't know how I left it there, though..." The idol tilts her head this way and that as she examines the pair of frilly underwear. "I'm positive I had Noriko-chan take care of my laundry before you got here, and--" It's then that her expression twists into a rather miffed one. "Oooh, that Noriko! That does it, she's definitely staying in the box for an entire night!"

You blink at this, before narrowing your eyes at her. What's this about a box you keep hearing about? She should really take it easy on Deepthroat--er, Noriko. The poor girl tries her best, even you could see that.

[1/2]

>>25735420

Instead of rebuking you, the idol seems to take your suggestion seriously, a grunt of frustration issuing from her. "Nnn, I know...and really, I do treat her as nice as I could, even when it looks like I don't! But sometimes, you can't help but try and tease her, you know?" Ruri looks at you with an expression of mingled despair, like someone desperate to get her point across. "It's...it's like she's this perfect M, and you just want to bully her and make her cry whenever you see her--"

No. No you don't know anything about that. And what the hell is the damn box about?

"Oh, it's nothing bad. It's just whatever huge box I can find, and she has to stay inside it for a while with the lights out. When she falls asleep inside of it, I sneak up and shake it while making ghost noises."

...Yeah, that thing about her changing your opinion about idols? She had an awful start, then began to do well until she's back into horrible again.

Although...well, that does sound hilarious. Awful, but hilarious.

Anyway. It looks like her suite's clean, for now. You don't need to start getting paranoid at the moment. You let out a sigh, before turning to Ruri and opening your mouth to ask about her twenty-four hour webcast - before someone suddenly entering the suite cuts you off.

It's...well. You've seen a lot of Yakuza, and they're Yakuza, alright. No matter how well they dress or how much they'd like to pass off the bulges inside their suits as nothing particularly illegal or high-caliber, you could spot one from a mile away.

But this one - at least, the one with the more expensive suit and the one to first step into the room looks...sharper. Young for a yakuza, too, probably in his mid-thirties or something. No disfiguring scars like his goons, but he does have quite the shit-eating sneer that, combined with his perenially-narrowed makes you want to grind clean off his face with the pavement.

[2/3]

>>25735431

"Ah, Miss Kirishima?" The lead Yak says, his voice smooth and oily. "Please, allow me to bid you welcome, on behalf of the Tojo Group, to Mitakihara. We appreciate you choosing our city as the final venue for your world tour - no doubt we'll be feeling the boost in our economy and popularity for years to come."

He seems civil enough. You turn to Ruri, and--

...Well. She doesn't look like she was expecting him. In fact, she looks positively livid.

"What are you doing here?!" Ruri's shout is a whip-crack in the relative silence of the hotel room. "You're not supposed to even be in the same building as I am! What...how did you get past security? They weren't supposed to let you in--"

"They weren't, I'll agree," The yak says silkily, not missing a beat despite the obvious discomfiture of the super idol. "But we reassured them that we were only here for a very brief meeting with you. Business matters." It's here that he snaps his fingers, and one of his goons gives him a manila folder. "Now, I'm sure you've read my emails, Miss Kirishima, so you must know why I'm here. It's the matter of--"

"I'm not signing your damn contract," Ruri snarls. "I've got my own production company, and no matter how many zeroes are there on your check I'm not leaving! I know what happens to Tojo Production idols after they sign!"

"All rumor and baseless conjecture, I assure you--"

"GET OUT! JUST GET OUT!"

How do you react? From your count, it seems like there's the lead yak and four, maybe five goons with him. All of them probably armed.

>>25735411
>Ribbons

Are Mami's whole power.
Those gunz she makrs? Magically formed from magic ribbons.

Hm.
Possibly homosexual. Must investigate further.

>>25735357

Look. When talking about something painful, its a reflex to go back to what a person was doing to not think or dwell on it further. I am just pointing out another interpretation to her actions.

Also between family heirloom and her former vindicare lover's weapon, it can only be one or the other. It could be that the former lover schooled her in shooting in, so theres alot of baggage with that particular weapon.

>>25735445
>armed
hah, that's a joke.
anyway, never know what yakuza groups bring handy magical girl reinforcements, so might as well stay alert. tell them they're intruding and to leave the suite post-haste.

[x]Place a hand on our shield, ready to spin it into Timestop. "Ms. Kirishima is asking you businessmen to leave. This meeting is at an end."

They're a local Yakuza group? Decu, does Chiaki know anything about them, now that some of her memories are back?

>>25735445
Don't draw attention to ourselves, but get into a positions we could drop them if necessary.

>>25735445

[x]timestop, take the huge rifle, bash the boss in the face, restart, tell to gtfo.

If insisting on making problems we kneecap every single one of them + one of the guards

>>25735445
Timestop, nut shot, take their weapon, push them out the door, lock it, unfreeze time.

>>25735445
Time Stop
Remove any weaponry you can find on the yaks, store them in shield for later
Time Resume
Make snippy comment
Do that thing with our hair

>>25735445
>pull out Saiga
"My aide has prevented me from smoking or drinking today. give me an excuse"

>>25735459
>Also between family heirloom and her former vindicare lover's weapon, it can only be one or the other.

Not necesarially.

Incest is popular in japan, after all. A sister who went meguca...

>>25735445
Doesn't matter how annoying Ruri is, we can at least agree that THIS is the part of the job we signed up for.
>[X]Remove them from the apartment, with force if necessary.

>>25735445

[x] Politely ask him to leave

a businessman should be offered this courtesy.

[x] If not he goes out. On his rear end. Non-lethally, of course.

>>25735445
>[x] Pull out a SAW to get the point across

>>25735445
Turn to Ruri and ask how she prefers her Yakuzas. Diced, smashed to a paste or full of holes.

This is just what we need to let off some steam.

>>25735495
>[x] Timestop, nut shot, take their weapon, push them out the door, lock it, unfreeze time.

>yuri incest
BY THE STARS, THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN!

>>25735445

[X]
stay calm, try to herd them out and away from Ruri, be ready to timestop if they pull out guns

less violence means less chance that our client get's hurt. which is what we're hired to do among other things

>>25735445

[X] "Bitchface asked you to leave, fuckface. Get out before I make you."

[x] Remove Yaks from premises

>>25735445
[x] Draw large gun. M60 large. Politely inform yak to leave.

Politely fill with lead if they decline.

>>25735445
Step between them and ruri, ask the politely to leave. if they don not, order them unpolitely.

And get sayaka prepped if this goes horribly wrong

>>25735445
Oi, you guys know Kirika Kure? I killed her.

Now get the fuck out because my current contract allows me to completely and utterly obliterate every single one of you like (timestop, kneecap one of them from point blank) that.

>>25735502

But a vindicare's weapons should be magical in nature. Homu was the rare exception since her powers don't fit in a clean category and she chose to use guns.

Why would a normal meguca not use her magically powered arms?

>>25735459
>Also between family heirloom and her former vindicare lover's weapon, it can only be one or the other.

..or they were really close, like almost a family. Or a family. It could be just a manner of speech indicating that it belonged to someone really precious to her.

>>25735491
This is the best auggestion so far, though do drop back to violence if they insist.

>>25735537
>>Why would a normal meguca not use her magically powered arms?

To conserve magic, maybe? I mean, their MP kind of doubles as their HP...

>>25735445
>[x] put hat on.

If they recognise it, they'll scram.

If not, kneecap them.

>>25735445
Wait, wait, wait. These guys just... walked in armed and unannounced? How are they not lying in a bloody heap already?

We are some shitty security.

>>25735537
because modern weapons are much cooler than flintlocks

>>25735537
Well, you know how Mami uses her muskets?

Her actual powers are ribbons, but the musket is the best she can construct with those.

What I'm saying is, "maybe because they're kind of shit?"

>>25735445
[x] DEagle up.
"Out. Now."

>>25735491
Changing my vote to this

>>25735549

You remember the yakuza hit that we chose not to take?

That underboss was of Japan's largest Yakuza group.

My money is on the same.

>>25735445
[X] Use them as punching bags

>>25735491
>>25735515
This. Start with politeness, since public appearance is important here, but if it turns violent we shouldn't hesitate to execute every last one of these fuckers should it prove necessary. Security of the principle is our primary concern.

>>25735573
Didn't Kyouko take care of that mission?

>>25735554
And Sayaka.

Where the fuck is sh...

OOOOH maybe she waits for our first move?
Or has shounen-style battle on the rooftop with some MG

>>25735581
Seconding

>>25735583

Maybe?

But the fact is that we're probably dealing with the same syndicate.

REMOV YAKS

>>25735494
>take the huge rifle, bash the boss in the face
Dammit, no! That'll just throw the sniper rifle out of alignment.
We have a baseball bat with nails in our shield for a reason!

>>25735413
If you take off the hat it looks like she'd be a bit below the line, so she might be closer to 168/5'5".

Still, healthy gal.

We're going to have the gather the security personnel for a meeting.

The next person who takes a bribe is going to have his knees shot off.

Starting with the one who took the current one.

A fucking example needs to be set.
