After checking things online and finding out about the new update, Yuki did not post anything on the forums. But she did continue to look at things online. She had come up with a plan now, knowing that there was a mercenary guild. She looked up the details and found that you can make a mercenary team. She wanted to perfect her fighting style now that things would soon change in the game. She also had to get Trisha trained as well. But she did not want to expose their identities, so she figured she would research on making face masks and cloaks online.

Yuki lost track of time and even the awareness of her surroundings as she watched tutorial after tutorial on Mytube. She had not noticed Trisha walking with a large duffle bag. Trisha saw Yuki seemingly engrossed in whatever she was doing and gently and quietly put her bag down. She then removed her shoes before tiptoeing over to the couch and climbed over the armrest. Even with the motion of the couch as it shifted under Trisha's weight, Yuki still stared at the screen, trying to absorb the knowledge of sewing. Trisha peeked at the screen to see that Yuki was currently watching how to sew animal hide together. It was definitely not a subject she was interested in. Instead, Trisha slipped her legs on each side of Yuki before draping her arms over Yuki's shoulder and leaning over and kissing Yuki's cheek.

It was only when she felt something soft and moist touch her cheek that Yuki reacted. She smiled as she turned her head towards Trisha's pretty face. "You're here."

"Mm… What are you researching?" Trisha asked as she slipped behind Yuki and rested her chin on Yuki's shoulder while hugging her from behind. This, of course, forced Yuki to have to scoot forward and move the table in front of her, but she did not mind.

"They had an update today. You can now take out hits on people. So I plan to make that Blade guy and KillerT guy who tried to player kill us pay big time with a large bounty. But I also think we should form our own mercenary group since it is just the two of us for right now. We can use it as a chance to practice fighting other players by taking on hits from the mercenary guild. It will be good practice for the both of us. From the information on the cultivation thing, it states unless you have your dantian destroyed, you will not lose experience on death or delevel if you are cultivating. But as a cultivator, if someone destroys your dantian, you will end up losing all your cultivation, and you will need to find a way to repair it to continue to cultivate or switch to leveling up.

"So cultivation is like a double edged sword. It is very powerful. But its downsides are that you can lose all your progress if your dantian is destroyed, and it also takes much longer to level up. But I think we do not have to worry about the cultivation speed. Our dual cultivation speeds up our cultivation by many times that of a normal person, so if we fight monsters and allot a certain amount of time to cultivation every day, we should stay on a steady progression. What do you think?" Yuki asked. The entire time she was explaining things, she was fiddling with Trisha's fingers.

"You still want to cultivate? I think we will need to do a lot more of what we did last night." Trisha replied. She was blushing from ear to ear. She was not against it, especially now that she knew that Yuki was Ryu. But it was still embarrassing.

Yuki smiled, turned her body around slightly so she was facing Trisha, and hooked her arms around Trisha's neck. She looked Trisha right in the eye before leaning in and kissing her on the lips. She used her tongue to part Trisha's lips and easily invaded Trisha's mouth. Trisha felt her heart speed up as she returned the favor and began kissing Yuki back. She seemed to have gotten her answer. The two kissed for a while before parting. Both their lips were bright red from being nibbled. Yuki licked her lips as she said: "Originally before I knew you were Chi, I was not planning to do it anymore. But now… Things are different. I was thinking our cultivation method was very powerful, and it would be a waste to not use it."

"I see." Trisha bit her lip. She was already slightly turned on from the kiss just now, so thinking about how they would be doing intimate things in game was not helping her any.

"If you are against it, it's okay. I don't want to force you to do something you are not ready for." Yuki realized she seemed to be being pushy. She did not want to force Trisha into these things.

"Not at all! I am fine with it." As if to show she was okay, she took Yuki's hand and put it on her right breast. "I am yours already. Plus, after last night, you have to take responsibility for me."

Yuki chuckled and gave the modest breast in her hand a firm squeeze causing Trisha to squeal. She then stood up and stretched her arms. "Then I will be responsible. I should get the chef to make us some food. Do you have anything you want to eat?"

"You..." Trisha paused as she blushed from ear to ear. She had no idea why she just said that! She had just spoken the first thing that came to mind, and now she was completely embarrassed.

Yuki's eyes widened, but when she saw Trisha's crimson red ears, she let out a laugh. Seeing Trisha so embarrassed made her want to tease her. "That will come soon. You can eat until you're full."

"Don't tease me!" Trisha yelled. But it was muffled since she had her face buried in her knees.

Yuki had the Chef prepare dinner. When she looked towards the door and saw the huge duffle bag sitting there, she turned to Trisha and asked: "What's in the bag?"

"Well..." Trisha finally lifted her head and answered: "I figured since we do not have any classes for the next few days, I could stay here if that was okay..."

"Mm… That's fine. Although… I might need to buy a bigger bed. Mine is only meant for a single person. Although if we laid on our sides, we could fit but..." Yuki scratched her head. She actually never thought of it until now. But now that Trisha was here, she was left with an issue. If Trisha stayed the night, it would be pretty uncomfortable on her small bed. "I will call Tina and see if she can take us to Ikeeya tomorrow. So I can buy a bigger bed."

"You don't have to do that!" Trisha did not know how much money Yuki had, but she did not want Yuki to go out of her way just because of her.

"It's fine. This little bit of money is nothing to me right now." Yuki waved her off. Normally she would be cheap and not want to spend money, but she could not make Trisha feel uncomfortable. The two never once realized they were completely fine with sharing a bed or that it seemed out of place for them to do so. "Tonight, we will just need to squish in together."

"Mmm…" Trisha still felt bad, but since Yuki said it was fine, she did not bring it back up.

Yuki was always one to do things right away, so she contacted Tina and asked if it was possible to make a trip to Ikeeya tomorrow. Tina was so happy that Yuki wanted to go shopping with her that she immediately asked for a half day's leave. Getting the confirmation that they would be going shopping tomorrow, Yuki hung up and went back to researching more things she could use in game.

After dinner, Yuki had Trisha bring her duffel bag into her bedroom. Inside was a few sets of clothes, pajamas, and even a few fox plushies. Trisha also took out her VR and set it aside. She then changed into her normal nightwear. "So much better. "

Yuki looked at Trisha in her pink fluffy shirt and pink fox slippers and found this unknown part of Trisha to be very cute. "Now I know why you chose to be a fox girl in game."

"Mmm! I love foxes! I think they are very cute." Trisha smiled brightly as she said this.

"So maybe I should get you some cosplay fox ears and tail?" Yuki walked over to Trisha, took Trisha's hands, and interlocked her fingers with Trisha's. The two gazed into each other's eyes for a few seconds before their lips touched.

Their tongues swirled in each other's mouths. Yuki let go of Trisha's hands and pulled Trisha's body tighter against hers. Trisha could feel Yuki's hand trailing down her back, sending shivers up her spine. When she felt her butt suddenly being squeezed, she almost yelped in surprise. Trisha also got daring and ran her hands up over Yuki's breast, gently massaging them. The two were lost in their own little world and never heard the front door being unlocked and opened.

Tina was in the area when Yuki called, so she figured she would stop in and make sure Yuki ate a proper dinner tonight. She would not believe it until she saw it with her own eyes. When she checked the sink and saw that there were dishes for two people. Tina became suspicious and walked towards Yuki's room. The door was slightly ajar but the sounds of heavy breathing coming from within caused Tina to blush as she opened the door slightly to see what was going on. But what she saw was not something she had ever expected.
