After discussing that, the group split up.
Lala went home, and Yuuji and Yami headed to the company.
"By the way, why do you call me Yuuji Rito?" Yuuji asked as they walked.
"Isn't that your name?"
"Yes, but you call Lala, Lala, right? Not Lala Satalin Deviluke. Why do you use my full name?"
"Lala is my friend... that's what Mikan told me" Yami added at the end, not entirely sure.
"You don't have to doubt it, she definitely is" Yuuji assured her, becoming friends with Lala is easy as long as you don't treat her as superior to you. "But what about me?"
"Are you my friend?"
"I am your friend"
"I see"
'She's not going to say anything else, huh?' Yuuji thought to himself as he saw Yami simply remain silent while walking beside him.
Seeing that he wouldn't get any more conversation out of her, he decided to check today's rewards.
He earned 1 platinum ticket for now being considered Haruna's friend, and one gold for the same with Mio.
Although Yuuji had no idea when that happened.
Then, literally just a second ago, Yami also gave him a diamond one for being her friend.
Although Yami is not considered a main heroine in the series, Yuuji assumed that the fact that she is one of the greatest powerhouses in the universe, even ranking second in power in her Darkness mode after defeating Zastin, along with also not having received rewards for 'slight interaction' and 'acquaintances', affected the increase in the reward.
Additionally, hiring her as a security guard also granted him another diamond one.
Finally, he also gained 2 gold ones, one for taming Ginga Konga and another for winning the Baroz Hunting Festival.
'Now that I think about it, Kata never named a winner. But being the only person who got prey, it's obvious I won' Yuuji thought.
'With all that, I have a total of two diamond tickets, one platinum, and three gold'
[Host, I can explain that more efficiently]
'Yes, but I don't trust you at all, just handle giving me my rewards' Yuuji replied with disdain.
[...]
[Alright]
[Tinker III - Defence
Elite Ability
Allows you to design, modify and build technology and technological constructs related to defence and protection. Creating things such as shield projectors, reinforced chassis, skintight suits that can take bullets without the wearer feeling it, different coatings to provide elemental resistances, and creating incredibly durable machines in general.]
'Honestly, I don't think I'll ever use this' Yuuji admitted in his mind. Maybe in a very distant future there was a possibility, but Yuuji didn't really see a future where he would need it.
[Admiral's Hat
Elite Item
Hota - The hat of a legendary admiral. Allows you to conjure and summon any mundane seabound vessel manned by a crew of spirits. It can be a destroyer class warship or a cruise ship. You can summon a vessel every 720 hours. In addition, when wearing the hat you gain Master rank Riding when riding any seabound vessel.]
'I don't know what to think about this. It's fine, I guess? Useful for group battles'
[Arousal
Rare Ability
Allows you to make targets in your vision aroused or make them climax with enough arousal. The stronger the target, the more energy has to be spent and if they are significantly stronger than you they will be able to notice your attempts.]
'Too many perverted abilities, next'
[Shikai - Shinso
Rare Item
Bleach - Shinso is a Zanpakuto, a spiritual armament bound to the soul in the shape of a wakizashi. The strength of this armament scales with the power of its user. When activating its shikai with the command phrase, Shinso's length can be extended beyond its regular limits, the maximum size of the expansion and how fast it can expand scales with the power of its user. By default, it can extend to 10 times its base length.
(A/N: Does not give spiritual energy, cannot be evolved.)]
'No thanks, I'm happy with my long range weapons where I don't need to get close to the enemy'
[Koukaku
Rare Ability
Tokyo Ghoul - Allows you to manifest an arm like biological appendage made of special RC cells that act like a super tough and dense material, even tougher than steel, that is capable of freely morphing. This appendage forms out from the shoulder blade, you can shape it into a spear, a claw, a shield, etc.]
'I have a belt with the same function that doesn't destroy my back'
[Dust Supply Crate
Epic Item
RWBY - A supply crate containing refined high quality dust from the world of Remnant to be used for your own needs. The crate will contain 5 kg of the dust of your choice. Restock Timer: 120 hours.]
'I dare you to tell me a non illegal use for this thing'
[How about using it together with beginner chemist?]
Yuuji, who had only been complaining for the sake of complaining, fell silent at the system's response.
'Well, I guess that makes sense. I just don't think I'll really use the chemist ability either.
Honestly, I think this system would have been much more useful for someone reincarnated in a dangerous world'
Yuuji even felt a bit of regret in his mind for a second for all those reincarnated people who have to fight in difficult worlds, while he, here in an easy one, keeps getting rewards they would wish for.
As for the rest, he really doesn't plan to use the zanpakuto or the koukaku, and he doesn't find any use for Tinker right now. The only useful one is really the hat that lets him summon a ship full of spirits.
As for arousal.
'Completely useless' was Yuuji's immediate thought. 'First of all I don't have anyone to use it on. I mean, I'm in a weird situation with Lala.
No, but even if I were dating Lala it's still completely useless, why would I want to make someone climax within my field of vision? Doesn't that mean there's no need to touch? Who in their right mind would skip the touching part?'
[Master, we've arrived]
While Yuuji was thinking about his rewards, he heard a semi robotic voice, unlike the annoying voice of his system, it was the female voice coming from Mona, his personal AI assistant.
Indeed, as Mona said, when Yuuji looked forward he saw that they were right in front of his company building.
An imposing ten story building with an elegant appearance. Which, maybe, Yuuji had ordered some renovations to make it resemble the company Orden from the superhero world he once visited.
Something he would never admit.
"Is this it?" Yami asked, observing the building with curiosity.
"This is it" Yuuji nodded, entering the building while guiding her.
"Is there no one else?" she asked, noticing the lack of people in the place.
"That's right, we're only two in total, three if you join" Yuuji explained.
"Isn't that too few?"
"It's not. You see, I'm a genius of creativity, I can create thousands of different and varied stories that will attract millions of clients" Yuuji declared proudly under Yami's look of disdain.
'As long as I plagiarize everything' he added in his mind as if that fixed it.
"And my secretary is an administrative genius who can handle all the departments of the company on her own"
"That sounds incredible"
"Really? And not me?" Yuuji complained. "Alright, the point is that with a genius like her and a genius like me, we only lack security for the company. With a combat genius like you, the company would finally be complete. What do you think? Wouldn't we be a perfect trio?"
"Who would be the perfect trio?"
Having finally finished the tour, they arrived at the president's office, where they directly encountered Ruri, who had heard the end of the conversation.
"Ruri, let me introduce you to Yami, the new head of security of Chaos Studios" Yuuji introduced directly.
Ruri looked at Yami, who appeared to be barely fourteen years old, and then at Yuuji, who didn't seem to be joking, before making a decision.
"Mona"
"Seriously?" Yuuji said with feigned indignation upon seeing how Ruri preferred to ask Mona instead of getting an explanation from him.
But reality proved Ruri right, because unlike the simple explanation he would have given, Mona simply said [Yes, Miss Ruri] before starting to deploy several holographic screens throughout the room detailing Yami's abilities and achievements across the galaxy.
"Impressive" Ruri murmured while reading everything. "How did you manage to get someone like this to be our head of security?"
"I just became her friend" Yuuji replied with a smile.
"...I see" Ruri sighed, deciding not to ask further. "In that case, Golden Darkness, it will be a pleasure to work with you"
"I'm Yami" she corrected quickly.
"Yami then" Ruri said with her best business smile. "What do you think if we discuss the contract? Honestly, given your abilities, I would like to pay you at least 20 million dollars per month, but we don't have the resources at the moment. How about 1 million dollars monthly with an advance of 20 million?"
Upon hearing this, Yami opened her eyes in surprise before frowning in doubt. "Isn't that... too much?"
Having been on Earth for a few days and intending to stay, she had of course researched its economy.
What she didn't know was that even so, she was underestimating the money they were giving her, because unlike other planets, Earth uses more than one currency. And the dollar is worth much more than the yen she had previously researched.
"Don't worry. Even though we're just starting, we are a subsidiary of the Yuuji family, which controls almost all of Japan's economy and 40 percent of Europe's. If it weren't because Yuuji doesn't want to ask for money, we could pay you even more" Ruri explained, sighing at the end.
