You could have handled it better, you think, instead of hiding behind the tissue-thin veneer of professionality that was almost always soaked through with alcohol. Then again, you did need to put your foot down, then. You needed some space to yourself.

But why did you? It was a misunderstanding, after all. Plain and simple. You did something stupid, she overheard it on the phone, and suspected the worst. She acted cold and guarded and angry - and who wouldn't have, in that situation? Was she really coming on too strong, or were you just simply unused to having someone be concerned for you in that kind of way?

You'll have to figure it out later, you grumble. You just need to hash it out with her, and then...you'll let the cards fall where they may. You're Warmaster now. You can't afford to get...caught up in such things. Not with a civilian.

There's no sense dragging someone who still has a life into yours. You'd be sending them to an early grave if you do.

You're currently being driven to the coffee shop that Iori wanted you to meet her in. The car is the usual company car you're always ferried around in - you bet it's the same one that Kyoko fetched you from the airport with - and the driver is the Eversor that helped you with the panties from earlier, Ishikawa Kumatora. She's not as smooth a driver as Kyoko, but she knows her way around. She didn't even need to get the directions from you - she says she's a regular there, and can't resist their strangely-named coffee shakes.

You grind your third cigarette in as many minutes into the ashtray built into the car's center armrest, before lighting up another one. ...It's not like you to be nervous before a meeting like this. It's just Iori, after all. You're just going to clear things up with her. Simple as that. Nothing to worry about.

...If that's the case, then why the fuck do you feel like you're about to do something completely horrible and unforgivable?

[1/2]

>>25010676

Christ, you'd have preferred setting fire to an orphanage instead. No, you wouldn't do something like that - not with good reason, like if it was an orphanage full of zombie children - but in comparison to what you're about to do...

"...We're nearly there, sempai," Kumatora calls from her seat way up front. "Just a few more blocks."

Right. She can take her time, really. There's no rush.

"Nonsense, sempai! This is your coffee date, after all! Sempai's got to be punctual!"

...Yeah. Coffee date.

You glance down at the shield clamped down on your arm.

Hell, even talking to Pinky seems preferable. It's...you should probably talk to her, right? Just to check up on things.

Wanting to talk to Pinky is the king of horrible ideas. She will either annoy the shit out of us or be threatening and jealus as fuck.
And you really want to talk to Iori to clear up stuff after talking to a lovecraftian monstrosity in loli-form?
Are guys lunatics?

And what if she rips us apart again and we have to go to hospital for a few days? The missions were are supposed to do would go either to shit or be delegated to someone inferior to us and cost lives.

At least use your brains before you make decisions, guys, pls.

>>25010972
Don't worry, I'm sure we'll get to Kyouko eventually.

But Sayaka dies first, in a manner implicating Chika, so that Chiaki's forced to kill a grief-enraged Kyouko out for blood.

You decide holding off on talking to Pinky until later. While it certainly can provide the distraction - nothing else like stopping time to talk to a murderous, insane goddess in a pink dress to distract yourself from your problems - you need to focus on what you're about to do. It's going to be unpleasant, yes, and crying may be involved, but if you want this settled, then you'll just have to grit your teeth and simply go through with it. You can talk to Pinky later, after everything is over. She'd probably gloat over it, but you won't particularly be caring then.

You go through half of your current pack of cigarettes before the car comes to a stop, with the tell-tale ratcheting of Kumatora engaging the parking brake. You glance out the window, and immediately see Iori sitting at one of the outdoor tables, sipping one of those coffee shakes you've been hearing so much about.

The coffee shop's pretentious name - Cafe Coffee - is at least offset by the fact that they seem to be an outlet serving Duncan Hills Coffee, which is alright as far as coffee goes. You think it's a bit too strong yourself, for something to jolt you into wakefulness during dreary mornings, but you tolerate it well enough.

"I'll just wait here in the car for you, sempai, until it's time to go," Kumatora says cheerfully, rolling down her own window and reclining the driver's seat a few inches - what looks to be a portable gaming console activating in her gloved hands. "Take your time, don't worry about me!"

You nod at her, before looking back outside. It seems that Iori hadn't spotted you yet - well, not her fault, the windows are tinted so darkly that it looks like it's night outside. You glance back at Kumatora, and ask her if she wants anything from the coffee shop. It'll be your treat.

[1/2]

>>25011099

"E-eh? Oh...um, one of their Cold As A Forgotten Grave coffee shakes, sempai, if it's not too much! Extra Brutally-Whipped Cream and Cadaverous Chocolate syrup!" The girl quickly volunteers, immediately brightening at your offered generosity. "And please tell them to add extra coffee jelly!"

...Right. You'll try to remember that, but you'll bring her something, guaranteed.

"Thank you, sempai! Good luck on your date!"

Yeah, thanks. You're going to need it.

You pop open your passenger side door and slowly get out of the car - one hand on your cap to keep it from falling off. It's here that Iori seems to have noticed you, and quickly stands up from her seat, nearly spilling her own shake in the process. She waves at you, energetically, positively beaming.

"Chiaki-san! Over here!" She calls, not too loudly, but enough to grab the attention of the rest of the shop's customers - customers you notice are also idols, some of them wearing the same costume as Iori is. A few of them eye you critically with narrowed eyes, while some hunker down with their friends, resuming their conversation in hushed whispers, turning to look at you after every sentence or two.

You nod at her in slow acknowledgement, still unused to the attention but managing at least to deal with it better than you did earlier. They're no Magical Girls, that's for sure - why should you care what the fuck they thought about you? You can talk to anyone you like, even if it's Iori. And besides, she's the one calling your attention, not the other way around - you're not some lovestruck fan stalking an idol. The idol is stalking YOU.

. . .

Right, you need to relax. Maybe...you need to take off the damn hat before joining Iori on her table, eh?

[]Take the hat off.

And sooner or alter we will need to confess to our friends anyway that Pinky is our fault.

From what I rmember after the fusion, while we don`t know the details, we were pretty sure that Pinky is in fact, our fault.

Yeah, from our conversation with Pinky on the plane back, Midori putting Chiaki back together helped our memory a bit. Still fuzzy on some details, but it's confirmed for a fact that we know that Pinky, and by extension her actions, are our fault.

Well, getting Midori and Pinky to meet again might be a bit awkward but it could, maybe, work out.

Getting Mami to meet Pinky might cause certain secrets to come to light.

Then again, as was pointed out, she might blab to Kyubey and then we'd be in deep-shit trying to explain to our boss why his Warmaster never told him she was having conversations with the eldritch abomination that's behind the Golden Weapons case.

Oh, this reminds me.

While we already told Midori that she can draw whatever, and she's already drawn up Mimiko and Varya, we should probably tell her not to draw anything actually based on the Siberia events.

That's all probably super classified and she'll get in serious trouble if she publishes stuff based on those events. We might be Warmaster but Kyubey can still over-rule us..

It doesn't say anything about the producer surviving.

Then again 756 seems to be working ok.

MAXIMUM WARMASTER

>>25011402

Producer is alive. Iori spoke about him saying she can go back to work soon, last we spoke.

>>25011402
He may have not been at the event but yeah he might be dead
Ritsuko could probably have taken over from his job well enough

>>25011396
It is labeled as a work of fiction, right? Regardless of how close to reality the events are.

>>25011434

I doubt Coobie would care if any of his employees are revealing classified information and hiding behind "it's only fiction" as an excuse.

Well, it's only a thought. Kyubey might not care or he might lecture Midori himself once she's finally debriefed on the incident.

>>25011434
That's a point. Having it published as the plot of a porn comic would probably lend credence to the idea that it's a crazy fucking conspiracy and anyone who believes it has been reading far too much Miracle Midori.

No, wait, it's a bad idea. Remember the demographic that reads yuri? Teenage/adult women and adult men.
Focus on the teenage girls. Magical girls. Magical girls with Incubators that would find this material most interesting if they made the connection.

>>25011460
Yeah not gonna happen

>>25011491

Besides, it reads so much better with a [timeskip] where a bunch of important stuff happens and the readers have to read the subtext to pick up how exactly the relationship has changed, and why.

>>25011524
>readers have to read the subtext to pick up how exactly the relationship has changed
As an irregular reader of yuri series, I can say no yuri writer worth her salt will do this.
Readers want to see every step of the relationship, without skipping. The only skip allowed would be after the relationship is consolidated.

>>25011507
Don't most of the Incubators know about Walpurgis anyway? I have some hazy memories about someone referring to "the thing in the basement".

>>25011491
>>25011507
Oh, right. Scuse me, I had the retard and forgot that we have more than one Incubator around. Hurrr.

>>25011524
Well I think that while the events of Siberia will remain top secret Midori might do an arc where Miracle Midori jumps into an alternate dimension to save murder Mayumi who has lost her memories

That much is doable

it feels like the manga is a way for Midori to deal with everything.

A small sigh escapes your lips as you feel more than a dozen pairs of idol eyes boring right into you, scrutinizing your every move. So you won't be able to talk to Iori in private, huh? You were hoping that this wouldn't be out in public, but you did ask for her to pick the location. Somewhere she felt safe. And really, you don't have any call to blame anyone else for this. This is your bed, you made it, now you have to sleep in it.

You make your way towards Iori's table, focusing on the one person you came here to talk to and no one else, your steps calm, deliberate and measured. Just before you reach Iori - just a few steps until you do - you reach up to take the hat off, clasping it by the front brim and levering it off your head in a quick flourish. You reach up with your other hand - just as you tuck the damnable hat underneath your arm - and do that hair thing you did earlier, raking your fingers down its length before flipping the mass of strands over your shoulder. The entire routine taking no less than two heartbeats.

You come to a stop just as your hair settles behind you, a heavy sort of warmth on your back and neck, and you open your eyes to meet Iori's gaze with the most indifferent look you can manage. A look that very nearly fell apart into one of surprise as you see the idol staring at you, her eyes wide and awestruck, her mouth half-open. Her cheeks stained crimson.

...It could be just coincidence, but the chatter seems to have also died away into silence right after you did that.

[1/2]

>>25011561
>Readers want to see every step of the relationship, without skipping
Something out of chronological order can work, as long as you show what happened eventually.

Often when a couple might split up; as if something terrible had happened between the two of them.

Though in this case it wouldn't fit into that relationship quite as much.

>>25011635

"Chiaki-san, I..." Iori blinks again, cheeks burning redder. "I...I sort of had an idea what your new look was, b-but I wasn't expecting...um..." She fidgets on the spot, wringing her gloved hands. Despite Mami's advice for her to wear something a bit more casual to this meeting, her outfit is decidedly an idol's - a silk one-piece gown the color of cream, with frills in just the right areas and a body-hugging contour that blossomed out into a short, puffy skirt that bared the knees and legs. Her hands, encased in silk gloves of the same color, ending at the wrist in nearly-transparent lace cuffs. A rose headband completed the outfit, the petals created from the same material with the same hue.

She looks almost like a bride about to go to a wedding, really. You'd have guessed as much, if it weren't for the other idols in the coffee shop wearing the same exact outfit, with a few differing modifications.

There's an uncertain silence between the both of you, still standing like that - Warmaster and Idol, in an awkward meeting, one waiting for the other to finish her stuttered words, one waiting for the other to speak. You narrow your eyes as you hear a giggle come from somewhere near the neighboring tables, and you clear your throat carefully. Taking the initiative.

How do you start this encounter?

>>25011635

>Takes off bitchin' hat
>Flourish with hair
>Stoic, indifferent air

YEP, SURE IS SETTING THE TONE FOR REJECTION

Made it to a thread in time. Unfortunately, not time to stay. Someone do me a favor and remember to ask Iori exactly where the concert for Ruri is being held, later? If it's at the mall, then there's a decent chance that not only will Iori and Ruri's clash, but a good chance that we may get dragged into the third kidnapping mission that was available.

After all the Mitakihara Mall was the last known where abouts if I recall correctly.

>>25011646
"You may be wondering how, exactly, I achieved this new look. The answer is simple.
I died."

>>25011646
Take a seat with her, order something, get her something.

While it's coming, ask how she's been, see if her friends and her have recovered, neutral.

Only start going to deep stuff after the coffee gets here and you can hold it with both hands, and take a swig if you need to stop an awkward moment.

This is good on Chiaki's part, it keeps her being quiet and listening until she can get the nerve to actually speak properly to Iori without spazzing out overly much instead of right away.

>>25011646

"You called?"

>>25011674
Oho. I like this. Do it!

>>25011678
This is good.

>>25011646
First, take a seat.
Then, "Hello, Iori. Has Garcia been treating you well?"

>>25011674
Glorious.
> There is a girl who risked her soul to save me.

>>25011646

Sit down, order a coffee, place order for Kumatora's order to be delivered to her as well.

Then discuss the protection work and the concert first.

>>25011678
Pretty much this. Without the cha boost from the Hat, we should stick to listening and keep the talking to a minimum to not spaghetti out.

>>25011646

"how i got the new look, isn't important." take a seat

"how have you been? I hope Garcia has been treating you well."

>>25011646
Oh lawd. Time for a tightrope walk to avoid spilling spaghetti in front of an idol troupe.
"Hope you've had an okay time recovering since we last met. Are your friends doing better?"

Start off with >>25011678 and then follow it up with >>25011674 when about to get serious.

She needs to know that our line of work is dangerous and that we value her as a customer, maybe even as a friend, but we cannot, in good conscience, return the feelings she has.

>>25011646

Oh God we're so fucked.

Right let's start off with Smalltalk. How's she been? How's everyone else been? The works and nothing too dramatic to start off with.

"It's been a long time, hasn't it? A couple weeks, but to me it felt like eight months. Or 63 threads. But I digress.
How have you been? Please understand that most of what happened to me is classified, I'm afraid I can't talk about it"

Let her talk.

Until the mood settles.

This is an excellent plan. I say we go with this.

I got the impression that she wasn't particularly happy about her time in the mansion, so let's try to not mention it.

>>25011705

Yes, get Kumatora's order now.

It's not like we're gonna be able to order her coffee after we leave Iori in tears.

>>25011646
Take your seat quietly.
"You can call it an unintended side effect from my work. How have you been?"
Try and get her to talk about herself a bit, to try and even up the mood and give us time to think of how to both grill her a bit about Ruri and to word our letting her down.

>>25011745
>>25011724
>>25011674
Guys, remember, we're in a place where everybody is listening in on our conversation.
And because of our entrance, EVERYONE is eavesdropping.
Think carefully on our words, and what we can afford to be overheard by at least a dozen gossiping idols.

>>25011787
Even if that's true, she's almost certainly hoping that things have changed. We need to reiterate it.

>>25011789
No, we are not here to play with hearts of maidens.Plus, this is mostly Stockholm Syndrome. Faster this is done, better.

>>25011724
She already knows that our line of work is fucking dangerous, though. She saw first-hand our ability to murder the ever-loving SHIT out of people when we killed those rapists, and when we got her out of Kilgore's place.
And she was there when we retired Kirika and lost an arm, as well as when we got it back from QB.
We explained to her that we're in a dangerous business, one that she has no place in, and furthermore, that our relationship was strictly professional, that of a bodyguard and her principal.

We already went over all of that.
So we shouldn't retread all of that, especially when we're in the middle of a damn rumor mill staffed by her peers, and most likely in some cases, rivals who stand to gain from her public embarrassments.

>>25011764

But if they're all 765 idols (likely due to their costume ensemble), they're not likely to spread gossip on one of their own, right?

>>25011646
Catch the waiters attention and order something drinkable that isn't too sweet and Kumatora's hellish concoction
Start by asking how she has been etc, get onto the subject of the protection job and then drop the bombshell that we can't see her

No matter what she thinks we cannot be close to her, it is unhealthy for people to get too close to us and we don't want her hurt because it would be too much for us to bear thinking that because of us her life was ruined because we care about her as a friend

>>25011847

>>25011847
Your naivete is totally kawaii.

>>25011841

Yeah, this is a good summary of how it went down last time, but Chiaki was extremely cold and aloof then. Basically "Fuck off, you're my client, you have no place giving me shit over what I do in my downtime."

Other than going over the same points in a more polite tone, I really am at a loss as to what to do.

Just, hm...

Small talk, followed by the "I died" comment and "I've had a lot of time to think on this. I realize now that I wasn't very civil the last time we talked, but what I said is still true. I would be glad if we could be friends but I cannot return your feelings. I'm sorry."

I don't know. Something like that, maybe?

>>25011847
Depends on whether these are Idolmaster idols or realistic members of the entertainment industry idols. They ARE competitors, with possible exception of potential fellow group-members, who'll be hurt more than helped by an Iori scandal.

>>25011886
You don't know noir, do you?

>>25011801
>>25011817
OK, rereading the last thread (or, should I say, shitstorm) where Iori appeared, we apologized for a drunken antic and the drinking addiction we had back then.
No mention of how dangerous being a meguca is or anything, but as >>25011841 says, she was there for most of it.

>>25011851
If we slip the waiter a fancy enough tip we can probably have him go deliver Kumatora's coffee right to her car.

This can save us from later having to juggle remembering from how we may end up traumatizing others and/or ourself here.

>>25011892
We don't want to acknowledge her feelings for us unless she brings them up first.

>>25011892
Basically, stilted, nice, awkward as we're trying to let the girl down gently.

We can then stride out gloriously with hat on and flowing hair in our wake.

All veneer of style hiding terrible emotional balance and awkwardness, that's our Homura/Chiaki/Murderface.

>>25011895

Noir is one thing but when even a whiney bitch like iori was very happy for the party to see her fellow idols as they don't meet often anymore. The original im@s backstory should be intact and that the 765 idols are still very closeknit.

>>25011886
But this isn't Idolm@ster.
This is a semi-neo-noir, in the style of Blade Runner.
Without actually meeting and getting to know these other idols, who may not even be from 765 Productions, we can't trust them.

We can make small-talk and inquire about her life/friends now, then get her alone after a little while. Apologize for being so standoffish and not considering her feelings earlier, explain that we were not used to treating people all that well, then calmly explain that even though we think she's great, we're not really suited for each other, and make sure she understands that even though there might be some mutual attraction, we're not letting her down just because it would be too hard, or too dangerous, but because we genuinely want to just stay friends and not go any further.

>>25011895

>Implying MGNQ has actually been noir

>>25011950

Okay, this. So much this, please.

Do not, on any account, mention Midori or what she's done for us. We do not, do NOT want Iori getting the sense that she can "earn" our love by contracting and base jumping into hell.

>>25011961
>MGNQ has actually been noir
I always thought MGNQ was neo-noir.
Maybe with a bit of cyberpunk dystopia, but in the style of Shadowrun with a greater emphasis on magic instead of cybertech.
Definitely not hard-boiled, though.

This, and ESPECIALLY >>25011970

>>25011950

Mentioning what Midori did for us just means Iori goes contracting to one up her

>>25011970

"...And the moral of the story is, Iori, you can't just fall in love with any magical girl who just so happens to be in the right place to save your life from a horrific fate, right? I mean, that's just obvious basics that just make sense."

Wait a fucking minute, we just invited Midori to live with us. Does our apartment even have two beds? We might have indirectly careened right into that one already.

You manage to work up a small half-smile as she continues to stumble around her words. She must have expected something completely different. Not that you blame her, of course - you've only been gone for half a month or so at least. People don't usually show up after that with hair down to their ass cheeks and eyes that don't look out of place in some ninja anime.

You ask her if if it's really that bad, your new look. It wasn't like you could do anything about it - workplace accident, plain and simple. Her brow furrows at this, in the same look of disbelief that you often get when you try to explain something magical girl-related to someone outside the industry - and it's then that she shakes her head, blushing again.

"A-ah, no, Chiaki-san! No, it doesn't look bad at all, honest! It's...it's just..." She gestures vaguely to you, then to her own hair. "I mean, it took me the best part of a year to just get it to this length, and even then I had to use extensions to add volume...n-not to mention all the treatments I had to go to! But yours, it's..." She shakes her head, again, an embarrassed smile on her lips. "H-haha, I'm babbling here, aren't I? I'm...I'm sorry, Chiaki-san, but it's just really so good to see you again, and...and looking quite dashing, I have to say!" Iori is all but gushing now, looking at you with nothing less than admiration.

You nod at this, and after a long moment of her looking up at you expectantly, you murmur something about looking...pretty, as well.

"Really...?" Iori seems to freeze up at this, cheeks going absolutely red. She looks down, as if finding her shoes suddenly interesting. "A-ah, um, thank you, Chiaki-san..."

The both of you stand awkwardly once more, while the rest of the coffee shop's customers continue to look on. Iori thankfully snaps out of it quickly enough, however. "Oh, where are my manners-- please, Chiaki-san, sit down! The waiter will be arriving in a little while to take your order, and please don't worry about it, it's my treat!"

You were just about to say that it'll be your treat, but it doesn't look like she'll accept that kind of answer, right now. You resort to murmuring your thanks, and just like she said, the waiter came around a few moments after you've both taken your seats. You ordered a Blacker Than The Blackest Black Times Infinity black coffee, no sugar. You also order Kumatora's coffee shake, and request that the waiter deliver the drink personally - after all, the car is parked right there next to the sidewalk, in front of the shop itself. The waiter nods at this, and once more you are left alone with Iori, the silence between the both of you deafening.

...This would go over better, really, if it didn't have such a heavy atmosphere. You find yourself wishing that you chose the meeting place, instead.

You break the silence between the both of you, again, as you wait for your coffee to be served. You ask her how she's been, while you were away. You also ask her about her friends, if they're shaping up alright after the gala. Careful not to say anything too...revealing about your work. There were still other people who had no idea that magical girls existed, after all.

"Oh. I've...I've been fine, Chiaki-san! Like I told you, things have been peaceful since then, and they're doing quite well as far as I know. And, well, um..." Iori gestures to her costume. "We're currently trying to practice as much as we can before Kirishima Ruri-san's concert. It's really short notice, and we're not all that happy about it, but it's a huge undertaking all the same so we're doing our best."

It sounds rough, in any case. Aren't there rules about that sort of thing? Isn't it bad form to just request help from another production agency in such short notice?

Iori nods. "It's usually frowned upon, Chiaki-san, but like I said, it's a really big concert. They're getting help from the other production agencies besides ours, and...well, it's really big publicity. They're pushing it as the 'Concert of the Century', where all the idols sing in one voice, with Kirishima Ruri-san leading the choir." She smiles, a somewhat brittle one, but a smile all the same. "So many people are attending, they've actually changed venues from the Mitakihara Mall convention center to Mitakihara Stadium!"

. . .Well. That does sound huge. You wish her luck with it, in any case.

"Hee. I'll need it, thank you, Chiaki-san." Iori's smile is now one of genuine warmth. "Um, well, in any case..." She ventures forward as the waiter arrives with your coffee, the mug stylized to look like a skull with molded hair shaped like a helmet, and what appears to be a triangular mustache bisected in the middle. "May...may I ask about what happened, really, during your...office trip?" The idol must also have been reminded by Mami not to talk directly about Officio matters. "Did...did it hurt, Chiaki-san, when you had that workplace accident...?"

How do you respond?

>>25012555
"...Among other things. But I'm alright now, thanks to my...assistant." Maybe don't want to be so direct about who it is, given their...history.

>>25012555
"I practically died."

>>25012555

"Almost died from a medical treatment. Can't say more, I'm afraid."

Ask about the idols around her. Are they all 765 idols?

>>25012555

"I got better, I've got good... friends."

>>25012555
"I can't say much about it that would make a great deal of sense, i'm, sorry. A lot of it my colleagues aren't even allowed to know.

It didn't hurt so much as it was stressful. The aftermath was pretty awkward, though."

>>25012555
"It was certainly something not everyone gets to experience, that's for sure."

>>25012588

Might not be a good idea to give her anything else to focus on other than Chiaki. Don't want to give her another target; even if she doesn't turn into a meguca, she still has more money than sense. She may even be compelled to take out a hit on whoever she perceives to be "stealing" Chiaki away from her.

The more I hear about this Ruri character, the more I think she'll be setting us up in a compromising situation at the very least, or trying to kill us at the very worst. She sounds like someone who is on a self perceived power trip and wants to flaunt it like there's no tomorrow.

>>25012604
This is good.

>>25012555
"I was clinically dead for a while before they brought me back. I can't say more than that, I'm sorry."

>>25012555
"It hurt, in more ways than one. We...lost two others, when it happened. Interference from a competitor. We're considering our options right now.
"I suppose you'll find out tomorrow anyway, but I've been assigned to the protection detail for Kirishima."

>>25012635
Huh, that works.

>>25012648
Say 'For the concert', instead of 'For Kirishima".

>>25012648
Seems like this is pretty good to me.

>>25012648
>"I suppose you'll find out tomorrow anyway, but I've been assigned to the protection detail for Kirishima."

Might as well inform Iori about it.

>>25012555

>>25012648
is pretty good.

>>25012656
>'For the concert', instead of 'For Kirishima".
I suppose that could work, but we really don't have the numbers needed to cover the entire venue, and Iori might question why we're sticking so close to Kirishima if we're supposed to be handling the entire concert.

By saying that we got assigned to the Kirishima detail, it'll make her more understanding of why we're sticking so close to Kirishima, and why we can't talk with her much, if at all, during the duration of the contract.

>>25012656

>For the concert

That's a lie and she will find out later making it worse.

>>25012648

This and keeping this >>25012730 in mind.

Ruri hired us because she knows about Iori's attraction.
Ruri hired the goons to rape Yayoi and Iori.
Ruri has a golden microphone and will use it to brainwash all the Idols into attacking us.

>>25012648
This, added bonus for changing the topic and mentioning the mission.

>>25012747
All them shadowruns.

>>25012747
I agree that SOMETHING is going to happen.

>>25012747
1 hat plz

>>25012747
Ruri is kind of seeming suspicious as hell. we should probably do a background check on her. and all of the other hired 'normal' security, mostly to try and filter out any abnormalities like with happened with our protection mission with Lori.
