Shaman and Elysia both froze as they just heard Himeko in the next room. Shaman and Elysia looked at each other and Shaman nodded to say she had a plan.
They quickly got into their casual clothes, with Shaman wearing a black top and shorts paired along with stockings. Elysia wore her White top and black skirt and after getting changed went next to Shaman.
"Why have you gone quiet, you better not be thinking of escaping." Himeko could now be heard walking in and Shaman quickly pulled Elysia in [Shadow walk].
'Yes it works with multiple people.' Shaman was unsure if it would let her bring Elysia but just like [Shadow cloak] she could but at the cost of extra mana.
They quickly moved out to where Himeko was but when they entered the room they could not enter due to Himeko creating light and making all the shadows disappear. Without realizing it though they walked into a trap as they were unable to go back due to light now covering any form of shadows behind them.
"Looks like I caught some sneaky foxes." Himeko smirked as she expected them to use Shaman's shadows to escape so she planned a way to trap them.
Shaman and Elysia had nowhere to go and so they exited [Shadow walk] slowly rising from the ground. Their ears drooped down as well as their tail as they looked down at the floor facing Himeko.
Without saying a word Himeko pulled on their ears, Shaman and Elysia cried out in pain. Wolfy could also be seen by the door shaking his head as his suspicions were confirmed.
"Now, I was thinking of going easy on you today but it seems like you have already treated yourselves in MY personal bath." Veins could be seen popping out of Himeko's head like she was about to blow a fuse.
"You are lucky the bath water changes every 30 minutes or so otherwise I would have had you in there with BUCKETS!" Himeko did one last final pull before letting them go, Shaman and Elysia both grabbed a hold of their ears as they still had lingering pain.
'Tch, I would not mind but at least make it after I had my bath.' Himeko was not angry but was more jealous but she did not want to admit she was jealous so she did not say this out loud so instead she vented it out her frustrations on the 2 girls that had just done it in her bath.
"Sorry we won't do it again." Shaman apologized and her face turned bright red as the reality was setting in that they were caught. Elysia also shared the same fate as now her face was bright red.
"Sigh, now don't let me catch you again otherwise I really will give out a punishment." Himeko shook her head and walked past Shaman and Elysia so she could go have a bath herself.
"How about next time we make sure no one else needs to use the bath." Elysia still did not want to lose the morning sessions and from what Himeko said it seems like as long as they are not caught it is okay.
"Yep, let's make sure we are the last ones to go." Shaman shared the same thoughts with Elysia.
After they agreed they looked at Wolfy who was sitting by the door.
'You can count me out of future baths with you, I'm going to ask Himeko to take me instead.' Wolfy turned his head away which was rather cute but his words contrasted this.
Shaman sighed as it was expected and was a little sad by Wolfy's words but she could do nothing but accept it.
"Well let's head back." Shaman held Elysia's hand and they walked back to the central tower, Wolfy went ahead using his shadows leaving Shaman and Elysia alone.
"Today started wonderful but it seems like everything is going downhill now." Elysia could not help but feel like things were only going to get worse.
"Well I hope it gets better." Shaman gave a quick kiss to the cheek. Elysia had gone a little red as she was caught off guard.
"Hehe~." Shaman accomplished her mission of cheering up Elysia and they continued to walk hand in hand.

"Alright girls we are going back to the dungeon but we are going to go to the lower floor where it will be easier and it won't be skeletons this time." Himeko put her hand on the dining table as they had all just finished breakfast and Himeko wanted to get right to training.
Shaman was relieved that they would not be fighting the same creatures as she doesn't know how she will cope if she saw them.
"We will be up against Terikin which are a form of ghosts and they are the first evolution of the mist you saw but are unable to possess anything yet. I say ghost but they are still Physical beings so any magic works on them but physical attacks will do minimal damage due to them being able to manipulate their body. Let's say they are more like floating slime till they evolve into a proper spectral body." Himeko explained what they were up against and Shaman had a pretty good image on what they would be fighting but also could not help relate the name back to a certain idol. Elysia and Wolfy were a little confused but still understood the important information.
"If there are no questions we will be heading out to the dungeon in 10 minutes." They still needed to get changed so they still had some time before they needed to leave.
Both Shaman and Elysia both shook their heads and Himeko smiled.
"Alright i'll see you in 10 minutes." Himeko did her usual exit of vanishing leaving Shaman, Elysia and Wolfy.
"Well let's go get changed." Shaman wanted to hurry and get ready and make most of the 10 minutes to tease Elysia.
They all headed for their room while Wolfy waited outside.
Shaman got changed quickly as the system allowed for quick equipping. Shaman did not use this feature much as she totally forgot it was an option. Elysia noticed Shaman do this and was confused how she did it.
"How the hell did you do that and why am I only finding out about it now." Elysia went next to Shaman for answers as this would have been super helpful.
"If you say equipment any clothes you have in your inventory can go into the armour/clothes slots, I forgot I could do this since it is so natural just to put on clothes normally haha~." Shaman felt a little embarrassed as the convenience of the system was left unused.
"Urrrggg~ how dare you forget now I can drag and drop, and speaking about the system how are you doing Rea." Elysia remembered that Rea could still hear them but she had been silent.
[I am still here, I think I will be able to speak soon but besides that I also have some good news]
Shaman and Elysia's interests peaked as it is unusual to hear much from Rea when it came to getting information.
[Main quest: Clear the first floor of the tomb]
Kill Terikin 0/100
Kill Akirikan 0/1
[Reward]
[Find out when you finish hehe~] - Rea
"Huh?" Shaman was very confused by the last part as it was unusual for Rea to hide the rewards.
"Rea, what are our rewards?" Elysia wanted to know what their rewards were and hoped Rea would just tell them anyway.
[Uhhh well would you believe me if I said I don't know]
"What do you mean you don't know?" Shaman was getting more curious and wondered if it was just Rea being lazy.
[Like i said I don't know, I need to wait till I find out and just so you know this quest is given to you early so that's why]
Shaman and Elysia looked at each other and were surprised by what Rea said as it seems like they were learning more about what the system actually is.
"Okay so we will find out later what the rewards will be?" Elysia in the end did not really care how the system worked unlike Shaman and just wanted answers.
[Yes]
"Good." Elysia was okay with finding out later.
'So it seems like there are a lot more people behind the system than just a few, I wonder if I will be able to get more information out of Rea.' Shaman wanted to learn more about the system as it could give her the reason why she was transported here in the first place.
[Hehe~ good luck]
Shaman forgot that Rea could read their thoughts and responded to what Shaman said to herself. But before Shaman could speak there was a knock on the bedroom door.
"Girls, are you ready to get going because if not you are going out in whatever you are dressed in." Himeko was there to pick them up as the 10 minutes passed.
'Damn I did not get to tease Elysia.' Shaman wanted to tease Elysia a little before leaving but got distracted by Rea.
Himeko and Wolfy entered the room and saw that they were both ready to go.
"We are ready." Shaman said they were ready and so they all stood next to Himeko and were transported towards the dungeon.
