"... Shoplifting?" for a few moments, Tsukuyomi stared blankly. "... If there's anything that you need to do, you'll be returned to the place from which I took you. I can't do that very often, so you'll have to take a different route next time."

Hikaru decided to remain silent for the moment, and allow the others to have their questions answered. Instead, she approached the suitcase quietly, peering at the USB drives. Each one was a different color, and somehow there seemed to be more then the suitcase should have been able to fit. And yet, at the same time, they all had their own sport in the case. It was almost difficult to look at, somehow, as the human brain attempted to understand how that was possible.

"Soul arts use the soul of the wielder in order to produce their function," Tsukuyomi continued, answering another question. "If something does not possess a human soul, it won't be capable of using them. I can't tell you what abilities any of these have, but I can say that the first Soul Art you pick will be the one most suited to you. As for your numbers..."

She paused for a moment.

"I took as many as I felt might be needed. The creatures of the tower are many in number."

Glancing at Manami, she added, "Please, take one. I don't want to waste any more time."

Hikaru, too, took one of the Soul Arts. The moment she did, the palm of her opposite hand began to tingle, strangely. Frowning, she raised her hand. She hadn't done anything unusual, and yet...

Had the soul art caused it?

"Once you take a Soul Art, the place on your body where it can be inserted will begin to respond," Tsukuyomi swiftly explained. She was clearly growing impatient.
