Hey, Homura steals weapons from Yakuza right? What are the chances she ends up hearing about our past escapades while stealing from them.

(Could only happen in a scenario where Homura doesn't just use time stop the entire time for every heist.)

480: Conjecture
[X] "Yes, just one Fiend. Only that one, and not any others."

"Funny, in a horribly terrifying sort of way." You offhandedly mention, "That's actually the second Fiend I beat. Heh, now I beat one in my dreams, and awake!"

"Wait, in your dreams?" Kohaku stares at you like you've grown a second head.

"Yeah, that's how I got the Candelabra App on my phone!" You unlock your phone, tapping on the app. You show the screen to everyone present.

Kohaku and Shoji can't find a way to react, but Raido looks you dead in the eyes.

"Yumi." He says as calmly as he can, "You have killed two Fiends, and I have failed to notice them." Taking off his hat, he puts a hand to his head. "I've read about this race of demons once. I had thought that they were myths, even among demons. If I recall correctly, their appearance isn't random or even a chance."

"Mr. Raido, sir, what are you talking about?" Shoji asks, trying to not let his fear show.

"I'll have to read up to make sure, but... No." He shakes his head, putting his hat back on, "I won't scare you with "maybe"s or guesses. I need the facts." He gets up, walking to the door, before stopping at your counter. "Before I forget, I called the Chief the other day about the kid, Yuma Chitose. I'll be taking your reports from now on. Once every two days, okay?"

"I... Wait, rumors can become demons?!" You ask, barely catching up with your uncle.

"Very rarely." He corrects, "I don't know how or why it happens, but it's extremely rare. Try not to pay it much mind." He produces an envelope from his coat, placing it on your counter, "I figure you'd need some money soon, so consider this an allowance. I must be going, now. Don't do anything reckless, Yumi."

You sigh, watching your uncle exit swiftly. Kohaku sighs, taking a seat on your bed.

With a slight groan, Shoji leans back in his chair. "...Shit." He says.

Suddenly, your brain catches up with you! You have a Rumor demon! With a motion of your hand, you call out Turbo Granny, startling Shoji and Kohaku.

"Shit, whippersnapper!" Turbo Granny claps her hands, "I heard from Raiju and Nadja that you went and fucked up a Fiend! Good shit, kiddo! But I doubt you called me to tell me about that. What's on your mind?"

"Can you tell me about Rumor demons?" You ask, with Kohaku recovering from your unintentional scare.

"Besides the fact that we appear from large rumors and shit like that?" Turbo Granny shrugs, "No fucking clue, kid."

Shoji sighs, "It was worth a shot, I guess." He pats you on the back.

For Shoji it's been a hell of an afternoon lol. Lets see...
-found out he just moved practically next-door to Yumi
-found Kohaku in Yumi's house
-found out he isn't hallucinating and magic is real
-Yumi ran off to fight a powerful demon
-Yumi came back looking like death warmed over
-that was because of a powerup she used and not because of her opponent
-she just fought a type of demon called a thought non-existent type of demon called a Fiend (ironically he should recognize the term from DnD as a catch-all term for demonic creatures.)
-this was actually the second one she fought

Sadly can't connect his train of thought to The Four Fiends from Final Fantasy since their Japanese name is The Shitennō or "The Four Heavenly Kings"
 
Fun fact: Shoji was only out of contact with you for a few months.

4 months. And you pull this.

481: Blazing A Trail
[X] "What a week, huh?"

You clap your hands, "Anyone else think that this has been one hell of a week?" You ask.

"Yup." Kohaku replies, letting her shoulders relax.

"Week?" Shoji asks, "Yumi, it's been one hell of a day."

"You can say that again, four eyes!" Turbo Granny picks up the envelope that Raido left for you. She tosses it to you. "So, you fought a Fiend, huh?"

"Turbo Granny, you were there." You tell her.

"I'm old!" She defends herself, "I can't keep track of every damn thing I do! I barely remember half of the insane shit I say!"

"Four eyes...?" Shoji repeats, confused, "I'm wearing contacts."

"Don't matter, you got that nerd phenotype." Turbo Granny waves a hand at him.

...You decide to dismiss Turbo Granny.

You put your finger under the flap on the envelope, and open it. Looking inside--?!

That's...

(YUMI OBTAINED ¥150,000!)

...A fair bit of money.

After putting it in your wallet, you try to stand up...

...Oh, nevermind. You don't try, you just do. Honestly, you're feeling a lot better now!

(YUMI LEVELS UP ×2!!)
(YOU HAVE 16 STAT POINTS.)

[] Magic Guard: If you roll a DEX save higher than an enemy's incoming magic attack, you can redirect the blow to hit the ground!

Kohaku stands with you, carefully watching your movements. You hear Shoji's ankles pop as he gets out of his chair.

"Well, where are we going?" He asks.

You check your phone, and see the time. 3:44...

"We should go pick up Yuma." You decide, motioning everyone to follow you.

"Who's Yuma?"

"Oh, you've never met her before!" You answer Shoji's question, "It's a long story!"

He nods, accepting that answer.

(EVENT ROLL: 68)

As you walk down the stairs, you turn to Shoji, curious. "Hey, have you been keeping up with your physical training?" You ask.

"I barely had the time to work out, so no. You know how my parents are." He grumbles the last part.

"Well, at least your parents aren't part of a cult...!" Kohaku attempts to joke.

"...What?"

Oh, boy.

[] ??????????????????????????

On one hand, it finishes the set. On the other, we would mostly only need it when in our Super Mode against a foe only weak to lightning.
[] Magic Guard: If you roll a DEX save higher than an enemy's incoming magic attack, you can redirect the blow to hit the ground!
Especially because this is badass and I can see it upgrading to a "return to sender"
