[X] "You know, Yuno!"
"...What about Yuno?" You ask, suddenly being struck by inspiration, "Does that sound good?"
"Yuno...?" Mami repeats, closing her eyes, "...It's got a nice ring to it! Rolls off the tongue, too!"
"I liked my idea..." Gouto grumbles, "...But that's not bad either."
"I'm down for it!" Shoji smiles, pointing to your Gauntlet, "Let's see what she thinks!"
You nod, tapping on the screen, and...
"Heyo!" Pixie stretches in midair, "Oh, we're at the Fairy Village? What brings you around here?"
You grin, "I've got a name for you."
Pixie's eyes widen, "R-Really?! Like, right now?! I-In the middle of the village?!"
"I mean, I think I picked a winner here, so why not?" You reply with a shrug, "Okay, you ready?"
Pixie vigorously nods her head to the point where you're worried she'll make herself dizzy.
"Your name, from this moment on, shall be...!"
"Shall be...?!"
"Yuno!" You declare with a great big smile.
At first, she doesn't react, just floating idly without moving a muscle. Then, she begins to emit a very long "eeeeeee".
"So... Do you like it?" You ask her. "...Yuno?"
You make the mistake of blinking. When you open your eyes again, she is gone.
Something whizzes by your head, and around Mami, and into the side of Shoji's arm before going right back to zipping around everyone.
"I have a name! I have a name!!" She cheers as she darts all around the fountain, "Yuno! Yuno! Yuno!"
You can't help but smile alongside her.

[] What skills would you like to replace?
Yuno's joy seems infectious, leaving even Gouto with an honest smile on his face. Mami has taken Yuno into her hands, and is happily chatting away with her.
You take a moment to look at your Gauntlet, and see if Stephen has left you any messages. Hm...
..."Important", huh? You take a peek.
[[To Yumi Konishi,
It seems your teacher was not clear about how to properly operate your Gauntlet. While the touchscreen is viable, I am sure you've noticed that it's rather small. There is a remedy to this.
Place your index and middle finger on the screen, and hold them there for 3 seconds. I'm sure you'll appreciate what happens.
Regards,
Stephen]]
...Oh. You stare at the Gauntlet for a moment, and press your two fingers onto the screen. One... Two... Three--!!
The screen glows brightly, and a holographic heads-up display appears just above your arm! There are five "buttons", three of which you recognize.
The "Party" Button, which you've used to great effect already, now displays more information about your demons, such as their known skills, their affinities, and even their histories!
You back out and select the "Item" button, and find an itemized list of all of your belongings, money, macca, and equipment. Each item has a little icon assigned to it, which lets you quickly identify if an item is meant for stamina recovery, magic recovery, or offensive spells!
The next menu, the "Personal Status" Button, shows just that. It's all about you. Your vitals, your demonstrated abilities and affinities, your height, weight, age, and Magatsuhi levels!
...Speaking of which, you're getting close to full, according to this screen. Should you be worried about that?
...Eh, you'll be fine for now.
The next two buttons are labeled "Map" and "Fusion ALPHA".
"Map" is exactly that: a map. There are little blips on it, like your registered Terminals, stores you frequent, unregistered Barriers, and even a personal GPS!
...Wait a sec, is that Barrier being tracked in real time? If so, you detected it before Mami even noticed one was relatively close by!
