[X] Name your new weapons
-[X] Savior's Crane and Multi-Mortar
[X] Practice retrieving things with your crane without wrecking them (can't let Tamiko get hurt while you're rescuing her)
[X] Call it a night
There is only one thing left to do before you are done. You need to give names to your devices! However, naming things is always difficult and inspiration can be a fickle thing… So you sit down to think of possible options. It is not like you have ever shouted out your attacks before, but naming weapons gives them more personality and meaning. Something to mark them as yours...
Well, regardless… The mortars themselves are a direct continuation of your Happiness Howitzer, named ironically after the jeers or Mariko. It is a good starting point too, so the system of noun-description with an alliteration could work as a theme for weapons. But good words beginning with an M are not as easy to find as you hoped…
One of these days...
You take a look at your multi-shot mortars fr inspiration- Wait? Multi-shot… Multi-mortars perhaps? Honestly, there are far worse names you could give. You nod to yourself and set the name in stone. Multi-mortar it is.
As for the crane hook… Well, it was created to save people so it should probably have a name to match. Hero crane? No, you have never really been a hero, just a scared monster trying to survive and be of help to someone… But if you are to save someone… Saver's hook? No, Savior's Crane?
You almost face vault at the pretentiousness of the name. Savior's Crane… Still, your mind refuses to leave this line of thought lie so you decide to keep the name for now, if only as a place-holder. Perhaps when you rescue Tamiko with it, she might have an idea for it?
You stop for a second to think of the scenario, but almost immediately shake your head to snap out of it. This is not the time to fantasize! Instead, you look at the new device on your arm. It might be for the better to practice its usage while you have the chance. Even if magically imbued machinery offers a certain degree of instinctual control over them, it is better to be safe than sorry.
You wouldn't want to be the monster hurting your friends, would you…

You are Tamiko Higekino, and you have just reached your home. It has been a long day and the time is nearly 8 pm already. This has become a trend already, albeit one you don't particularly mind. It always feels nice to spend time with your friends, even if telling ghost stories was a horrible idea in retrospect.
You shudder. This might turn out to be a sleepless night for you...
But first things first, you open the door to your apartment and step in. You are immediately greeted by the delicious aroma of your uncle's cooking. He's had a free day from work today, and has clearly gone all in for tonight's dinner. You hastily throw your shoes to the corner and with the feeling of hunger growing inside, you jog to the kitchen to check what he has prepared.
Your uncle is already sitting at the table with a glass in his hand. The table itself is covered with several closed containers for keeping meals warm. As soon as you enter the room, he turns to look at you with a warm smile, "Maa~, welcome back home, Tamiko! How was your day? Well, please sit down first, we've left you some dinner."
You don't get to answer, as your gaze turns to the other side of the table. Sitting there is dark blue-haired, casually dressed woman. Catherine. She is looking at you with mild interest as she leans on the palm of her right hand while holding a glass of wine in her other one.
"Hmm, your niece is still as adorable as ever, Hiro!" she notes with a happy smile, "Well, how have you been Tamiko? You were going to the hospital the last time we met if I recall correctly?"
