BEAT 7: Enter Kyouske: Magical Tomgirl for Hire

The dimensional gate was activated moments after the order was placed. Me and the crew were standing in wait for their newest member, Kyouske to arrive in the base. It wasn't long before they finally appeared through the gate, with a massive suitcase in hand, and an even larger case on their back. And everyone was taken aback.

• Otsdarva - Hey hey, Kyouske! Welcome to Delphinium. It may not look like much, but this massive base is...

• Kyouske - I was briefed before coming here. A massive base stationed as a lynchpin to protect human and VTuber worlds. 

• O: *confused* How did you...

• ACE - I gave him the raw details to catch him up to speed.

• O: You shoulda told me that! I had the whole info package in my head and everything.

I felt Kyouske's sharp gaze at me, probably wondering what's going on.​

• Sion - Nice to meet you. I'm Sion. I'm the Combat Advisor here and member of the Spec Ops unit, The Fours. Pleasure to have your acquaintance. My blue haired friend over there is Ayla. She's an Auditor.

• Ayla - Sup *waves*

• Kyo- Nice to meet you both.

Now, all who's left for the introduction was...​

• Noa - HAH!

Kyouske quickly blocked Noa's kick from out of nowhere​. A kick that strong, but it didn't make him budge an inch. Noa continued her onslaught of attacks with her kunais, punches, and rapid fire kicks to try and land a clear shot on his body. All were met with swift ripostes from his case. Noa finally lunges in hopes of tackling him to the ground. This, as well, was countered with a quick push to the ground and putting Noa in a headlock and positioned his legs skillfully enough to limit her leg movement.

• Kyouske - I do appreciate the exercise you gave me. Unfortunately, your position was given away the moment I walked in. Maybe if you suppressed that malicious energy of yours, I wouldn't have been made aware at all of your presence.

Kyouske let go of his hold on Noa, leaving her coughing and mildly surprised at the turn of events.​

• Noa - You're one to talk, motherfucker... *cough, wheeze* You're brimming with the same thing. You may have a pretty face, but goddamn do you carry some heavy weight. I can see it in your eyes. That's why I had to test you one way.

• Kyo - Hmph. I'll go set my stuff down. 

Noa quickly stood up.​

• Noa - I'll show you to the personal quarters. There's one other test I want to do to see if you're worth it.

• Kyo - Oh? 

The two walked out of the hangar and headed towards the personal quarters section of the base.​

• Otsdarva - She's gonna kill him, is he?

• Sion - Son... you're gonna learn a valuable lesson.

• O - About what?

Two hours have passed. Then three. Till finally, Kyouske was entering the hangar tidying up his outfit. He still had the same stone-faced look. However, something about him felt... different.​

• O - So, uh... what did you two talk about?

• Kyo - A variety of things. She's a lot more talkative than I thought. Though, it didn't really take long before that stopped.

• O - A-anything in particular?

• Kyo - Nah. just simple talk. She is a fan of mecha though and a lots of makeup trends.

• O - Really!? She never mentioned that to me before. Usually I'm just pelted with insults and physical attacks. How did you do it?

Kyouske leaned in with a cute gesture of a wink, a tug from his thong strap, and a shushing finger.​

• Kyo - *whisper* That's a special service.

• O - Oh. 

• Kyo - Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be waiting on call. If you need me, *strikes a pose* don't hesitate to call on your Magical Tomgirl for hire.

• O - Do you have to do that pose all the time?

• Kyo - Nah. Was just in the mood for it. I just simply hand out a business card and be done with it.

He walks out of the base and in a blink of an eye, disappears in magical dust. Meanwhile, Noa walks in. Instantly, something was wrong. Her face was much less tense, almost beaming. What was a gruff and tough exterior was replaced with a shockingly cute and sweet one. And when she spoke.

• Noa - Kyouske-sama? Where did Kyouske-sama go to?

• O - sama? 

When she spoke, she was like different person entirely.​

• Sion - Now you see what I mean?

• O - Yes, and no.

• Sion - Well, you're old enough to understand, but Mahou types can convert any negative emotions into positive ones in a variety of ways. The more direct, the more potent it is. Now I may not know Noa personally, but it doesn't take much to see how much malice that girl has. But, damn that must've been a deep cleanse. And I mean deep...

• O - I get it...

We certainly had a powerful asset on hand. Someone who can tackle negative emotions and look heroic doing it. I just hope... Noa can be back to normal so she can do her duties. I hope. Having her go on about "Kyouske-sama" could get real tiresome real fast.​

• Noa - KYOUSKE-SAMA!
