Author's Notes: Chapter edited and corrected by Scott Fellman.
May 23, 2xxx - Izumi pov.
I'd decided to get this over with. Not because I was annoyed, but simply for efficiency. I'd invited Tanya, Visha, Louise, Darkness, and Jinx. All at the same time. Along with the four of us, there were now nine in total, and we were all inside my room. I was truly grateful for the favoritism allocated to the construction of the men's dorms being four times larger—well, this room was three times larger, and the bathroom could have fit another room inside it.
Even so, the large space could easily accommodate all of us simultaneously. So here we were, after school.
"Did it really have to come to this?" Jinx growled as she slumped into her seat, reaching out and carelessly grabbing some chips before eating them.
"Maybe, maybe not. You want me to teach you, so you'll probably be spending a lot of time with everyone here. You'll have to get used to it." I dismissed Jinx's complaint as she just grunted. "Now, first, introductions, Louise? You're the only one we don't really know." I said as I looked at the pink-haired girl with her arms crossed and a sullen look on her face. She immediately stood up and tossed her hair back.
"My name is Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière, third daughter to the Duke of La Vallière." Louise introduced herself elegantly. Jinx snorted.
"A piltie?" Jinx growled. Was Piltie still an insult, even to someone outside of Piltover? "Surely you don't hang out with anyone in your homeroom if you're asking Izumi for help? Are you too good to be friends with the rest of your class?" Jinx asked mockingly. Louise frowned and glared.
"I don't have to answer to you plebeian," Louise mocked. "I don't know why the Kiramman would let you use their name; you're just dirtying it." That made Jinx growl.
"How about I- cough!" Jinx choked on a bug that flew straight into her throat. She was about to open her mouth again, but another bug immediately entered. Triggering another coughing fit. Bugs began to enter the room, filling all the walls. The lights were also being covered, darkening the room.
"SILENCE, yoU wiLL BEHAVE WhIle YOU aRe IN heRe, I wiLL nOt rEpEAT MysElf aGaIN." The cacophony of bugs made everyone present shudder slightly. Jinx and Louise immediately shut their mouths. Taylor glared at the two before sending her bugs flying out the window. I almost wanted to sigh. Yeah, this might have been a bad idea. Luckily for me, Darkness cleared her throat and stood up.
"I suppose I should introduce myself properly if that's the case. My name is… Lalatina Ford Dustiness, first and only daughter of the ducal house of Dustiness." Darkness introduced herself with the same elegance as Louise. "Please, call me Darkness." She almost begged for it. I could see Jinx bite her tongue.
"Daughter of the Dustinesses? I didn't know you were also from the nobility, much less that we shared the same class." Louise said in surprise as she looked at Darkness. Darkness's smile faltered slightly. Do all nobles know each other, even if they're from different countries? Or was it just something nobles do? Would it be racist or insulting to ask Azula about that?
"If you didn't have your head up your ass, piltie, you might have known." Jinx muttered. Louise glared at her but quickly ignored her and looked again at Darkness. Taylor also retaliated against Jinx, and one of her bugs crawled back into Jinx's throat. I could even see it latch on to Jinx's uvula, causing another fit of almost violent coughing.
"It's an honor to meet you, Miss Lal -"
"Darkness, I prefer Darkness while I'm at UA." Darkness interrupted with a grimace. Louise looked surprised and conflicted before nodding.
"It's an honor to meet you, Miss... Darkness." Louise finally said. Darkness nodded with a smile, and they both resumed their seats.
"Well, I guess that's all the necessary introductions. Unless someone has something to add." I asked lightly with a tight smile. No one spoke, and I sighed. "Well, there are two of them. First, Louise and Jinx asked me to train them, while Tanya, Visha, and Darkness asked me to go out with them."
"Does that mean you accept our offer?" Tanya asked directly, her eyes shining. I nodded.
"As proof. As long as you and Serebryakov don't have any problems, I'm all for trying to date you two," I said honestly. To my surprise, Tanya sighed with relief.
"I am. Visha?" Tanya asked softly in Visha's direction. Visha smiled widely and nodded.
" If I can be together with Tanya, I'm all for dating you! I am so happy to meet you all! I know she made the right choice! Please call me Visha! " Visha said with a smile in our direction with absolute confidence in Tanya.
"Okay, so do you want to learn how to use a sword or some other weapon?" I asked directly. They both blinked in confusion.
"Is it… some kind of requirement?" Tanya asked, frowning. I shrugged.
"Not really? I like teaching, honestly. I read the summary about your internship with Lady Nagant. You also ran out of bullets for your gun, and you had to use the bayonet on your rifle for quite a while. While I understand you have military training, I'm sure it wasn't the most comfortable or easiest thing to use against dungeon monsters." I said honestly. They both frowned and looked thoughtful.
"So… what would it cost to learn?" Tanya asked. I hummed softly.
"Nothing you don't want? I'll teach everyone here a somewhat esoteric way to breathe. I call it Total Concentration Breathing. By increasing your lung capacity and breathing correctly, you allow for a greater amount of oxygen to be held in your lungs. This increases the acceleration of blood flow and your heartbeat, which results in an increase of your body temperature, and your bones and muscles artificially enter a panic mode similar to hysterical force."
"This greatly increases your strength, speed, stamina, durability, thought processing, and reaction time," I explained easily. The 5 girls' eyes widened.
"Wait, that shit can't be real." Jinx said incredulously.
"It is," Azula said dryly beside me. "Really, it is. The three of us did it, so believe it," she added. All five girls looked shocked.
"So, going back, I'd mainly expect you to learn that. It's a huge boost to your base stats. Whether or not you want to use it or have me teach you how to use a weapon is up to you, But I'd recommend it." I said simply. Tanya looked at Visha, and they seemed to speak with their eyes.
"Can you… fit it to our bayonets?" Tanya finally asked, and I hummed.
"I mean, if they want to, but... are you really attached to them?" I asked curiously. Tanya shook her head.
"Not really, it's just something that serves our purposes. We need a rifle to utilize the full potential of our quirk, and it's better than carrying multiple weapons," Tanya explained.
"Oh, if that's all it is, why don't we have Ruby help you modify them into something more useful?" I asked curiously.
"Yes!" Ruby exclaimed happily as she stood up.
"Something... like what?" Visha asked, confused. Ruby grabbed Crescent Rose.
"This, is my Sweetheart. It's called Crescent Rose; it's a high-caliber sniper scythe!!" Ruby touched one of Crescent Rose's mechanisms, and the scythe deployed in all its splendor, much larger than Ruby. "It's scythe form! And-" the scythe folded in half. "-its rifle form! Crescent Rose can use different types of ammunition! Including dust bullets!
All the girls in 1B looked at her in surprise.
"You used it at the festival, didn't you? I must admit, I wasn't paying enough attention to notice your weapon," Tanya said as she looked at the scythe. Ruby nodded with a smile. "It's… amazing. Did you make it completely by yourself? " Tanya added.
"Yes! From what I understand, it's not normal in the rest of the world, but in Vale and the surrounding kingdoms, hunters use Mecha-Shift weapons a lot! My sister has shotgun gauntlets, my uncle has a shotgun sword scythe, and my mother has a rifle axe like my father too!
"Even my Aunt Raven, who only uses an Odachi, is specially made! Its hilt has a trigger that allows her to change the blade of her sword while it is in its sheath! Each blade is made of solid Dust, making 8 blades in total, so it can use any of the Dust's effects while attacking!" Ruby looked like a child on Christmas morning.
"Impressive." Jinx whistled in amazement. Tanya had a thoughtful look on her face.
"So… how much would your services cost?" Tanya asked with a frown, Ruby tilted her head.
"Nothing? I like making weapons! I'd be more than happy to help! Also, we have a budget that UA allows for us to use to create and maintain our weapons and costumes, so we can use everything from there. UA also has access to monster parts, dungeon ores, and Dust! They are low-level, but they are definitely much better than normal materials! "I've been able to improve Crescent Rose so much since I've been here! " Ruby said with a huge smile.
"Wait, really?! I could have upgraded my weapons long ago and just kept making bullets and grenades?! " Jinx asked indignantly. Ruby nodded with a smile.
"Of course you can, Izumi told me! It was written on that thing that came with the Syllabus." Ruby said easily. Jinx froze and moaned loudly.
"Of course, it was there." Jinx moaned in frustration.
"That's what you get for not reading everything important, Kiramman." Azula said mockingly. Jinx growled, but didn't say anything.
"What do you recommend?" Tanya asked me. I raised an eyebrow at her, and she shrugged. "We saw you fight at the festival. You outclassed us all without a fighting quirk, so I'll defer to your experience." Tanya said humbly. I hummed.
"Honestly? As I told Jinx yesterday, if you want to use a weapon, I'll teach you. In that case, wait until you choose a weapon you want to learn with, then Ruby can help you create something." I said with a shrug. Ruby was almost bouncing with excitement to create more weapons.
"Yes! I'll help you! " Ruby exclaimed happily.
"Wait, I thought you only used swords," Louise said, and I shook my head.
"I specialize in katanas. They're my specialty. I'm stronger with them than any other weapon. But I can use many other weapons with a really high degree of mastery. For example, I'm also good with a chain weapon like a flail, an axe, or whip." I said simply. Jinx snorted.
"Damn monster," she said simply. The 1B girls looked almost outraged by her words, but I just laughed.
"Why, Thanks," I said playfully. Jinx rolled her eyes.
"Then we'll choose later, if you don't mind when we have a chance to test out some weapons," Tanya said simply. I nodded.
"Louise, do you know what kind of weapon you want to learn to use?" I asked her. Louise looked surprised by the question but straightened and looked at me intently.
"A foil sword." She said without hesitation. Jinx snorted.
"That's not a weapon," Jinx retorted mockingly.
"Of course it is," Louise growled. Jinx rolled her eyes.
"No, it isn't. It's a sporting weapon that is not designed to inflict real damage. Its blade is thin, flexible, and light, and it would break too quickly in a sudden attack. It's Too useless in defense and offense in a real fight against other people, not to mention dungeon monsters." Jinx replied boredly. Louise blushed and gritted her teeth.
"Actually, Jinx is right," Ruby chimed in with an apologetic smile. "A rapier would be much more effective in combat, and it's almost the same size. We have a classmate who uses a rapier," Ruby added quickly. Louise blushed.
"What's the difference?" Louise growled, seemingly unwilling to admit defeat.
"A lot, Piltie." Jinx snorted, but didn't say anything else. I clapped my hands to get everyone's attention once more. I sighed again.
"Very well, Louise, we'll see what we can do. Unfortunately, a foil is out of the question for the moment. Unless you can use your aura to coat it, it would be too fragile no matter what material you used. Therefore, we'll start with a rapier, though we'll try some other weapon and see how you fare." I said calmly, Louise looked like she wanted to argue, but she just gritted her teeth and nodded.
I sighed. I really had to figure out what was going on in her head. I could only guess why she wanted to use a foil; the only thing that came to mind was her mother. Karin of the Heavy Wind. If it was the same as canon, then her weapon was a foil. No, it was a wand-sword in canon, which closely resembled a foil sword.
"Mmm, Miyamura?" Darkness called out. "Do I... Do I have to learn how to use a weapon too? Or... why am I here?" she asked timidly, though very confused. I hummed softly.
"Actually, you're here as a potential partner if you want," I said directly. Darkness's eyes widened.
" W -wait, what?!" Darkness squealed in confusion. I tilted my head.
"I thought you knew. Kazuma called me to tell me you wanted that." I said simply. Darkness blushed.
"He did what?!" Darkness squealed in embarrassment. I hummed lightly.
"Oh yeah, he told me that you liked the way I treated you during the festival so much that you were overcome by your dark carnal desires, and that's why every night you-"
"AAAAAAAHHHH!!! It's a lie!" Darkness screamed, completely flushed and embarrassed. She threw herself at me to silence me. "Everything Kazuma told you is a lie!" she exclaimed again. I simply sat in my place, intercepted her hands with mine, and we began to struggle. Or, well, I began to apply a little force. I squeezed her hands and began to twist her arms.
Darkness opened her eyes slightly at my strength, and she struggled to free herself. To no avail, I began to twist her hands until they fell back. She looked at me in disbelief, and I smiled at her.
"What happened? You've never met someone stronger than you? Someone who can bend you into a pretzel? " I asked playfully. Darkness froze in place, and I could almost see the images of different situations flashing before her eyes.
"Mmmhh!" Darkness moaned, her arms losing all strength and falling to her knees.
"Good girl." I patted her head like a dog. Darkness shuddered and smiled foolishly.
"You're a lucky bastard," Jinx said with a massive grin from ear to ear. Darkness froze. Darkness's face broke out in a deep blush, and she stood up.
"On your knees, girl." I said firmly. Darkness flinched and dropped back to her knees. Her blush deepened, and she began to breathe unevenly. "You really are a good girl," I purred, playing with her hair.
Darkness shuddered slightly again and looked down. I gently ran my hand down her cheek, grasping her chin firmly and lifting it to force her to look at me.
"Maybe I should reward you?" I asked playfully. "Or... maybe a punishment would be something you'd enjoy even more?" I asked mockingly. Darkness moaned slightly. "Ah... so a punishment, you know, I've always wanted to slap a good girl's ass to reward her. My Haki can easily pierce through your defense, so your ass would start to bruise quickly."
Darkness's breathing began to quicken.
"Ah yes, I would hit your ass cheeks hard until they were completely red and keep going. I would show no mercy to you. Even if you screamed and cried, I would keep hitting you until I decided that your punishment was complete. Would you like that? " Darkness moaned and nodded quickly. "I would also like to hit other parts of your body. Your tits are really sensitive and make a perfect target. Tell me, would you like me to strike them too? "
"Y-yes, please!" Darkness moaned.
"Then I would do it. You were such a good girl that I would let you. I would hit the sides for a while until I hit your nipples hard. I can already hear you screaming."
"Yes!" she moaned louder.
" And I would forbid you from cumming. You're a good girl, so you can only cum when I tell you to. I will keep slapping you until you reach your limit. And when I finally thought you deserved it, I would slam right into your pussy and let you cum."
"MMMMHH!!" Darkness moaned loudly as she shuddered violently. Her face distorted in pleasure. My hand froze in place. Did she… did she just have an orgasm in front of us? Just with that?! How repressed was she for that alone to work?!
My eyes widened as I watched Darkness collapse to the floor, still sitting but almost limp. She finally came to, looking up, her face completely flushed with tears forming in her eyes.
I could feel the gaze of my three fiancées stabbing me. I grimaced and sighed. I also ignored everyone else. Louise was horrified despite the full blush on her face, as was Visha. Tanya looked more calculating, while Jinx had a huge, lustful grin as she watched the scene.
"Are you okay?" I asked softly. Darkness flinched slightly but nodded. "Sorry, I didn't mean it to go that far." I gave her an apologetic smile.
"...you have to take responsibility," Darkness whimpered through her tears. I wanted to snort at the sight, but held it back. Sadly, I can't say the same for Jinx. That made Darkness more aware of everyone else's presence, and her blush somehow deepened. Should I be worried about all that blood in her head?
"Of course, I already told you I wanted to go out with you." I said simply. Darkness froze and immediately raised her head to look at me.
"Wait, really? Even after my embarrassing display!? " Darkness asked incredulously, I raised an eyebrow in her direction.
"I was involved in that 'demonstration.'" I said playfully.
"Yeah… but I thought you were doing it for Kazuma! That you wouldn't want to go any further after seeing- after seeing that! " Darkness squeaked in embarrassment. I tilted my head in confusion.
"Why not? In fact, now I want to do it even more."
"Why does this happen! Nobody understands my fetish! No man has ever been so interested in my country! I came to Japan hoping something would happen, but nothing happened here either!
"No one is abused on trains on the way to school. Widowed housewives aren't blackmailed into sleeping with their sisters-in-law right after their late wife's funeral. Single fathers aren't forced by their greedy landlords to sell their bodies and descend into moral degradation, ultimately ending up with body modifications and womb tattoos..."
"How unfair! I want to be groped! I want to be forced! I want to say things like, 'No matter what you do to my body... you'll never have my heart'! I just want to wear short clothes and stand on a crowded train. Just to feel someone's hand touching my bottom! Even when I look around, it seems like everyone is oblivious to what's happening to me and pretends not to see! Then, in front of everyone, that person will harass me, first through my clothes, until eventually, they even manage to touch me directly underneath them! And then it will escalate until... until... Kuuhhh !"
"...And then it'll end in an orgy." Darkness hugged herself and shuddered violently as she let out a massive moan while still sitting on the floor in front of me. Everyone in the room stared at her in disbelief. Jinx and I were the only ones to finally break the silence as we laughed out loud. Darkness returned to her senses, horrified by what she had just said.
" Goddess, Darkness! You need to stop watching porn and hentai! Maybe some of that happens sometimes, but it's not the norm!" I laughed as I looked at Darkness.
"Don't laugh!" Darkness moaned, embarrassed. She looked genuinely embarrassed in a way I definitely wasn't enjoying. I regained my composure and looked at her with a huge smile.
"I could do all of that with you if you wanted." I said with a huge, lustful smile as I looked at Darkness's body. Darkness froze in place before slowly losing her expression.
"You don't have to lie to me like that. I know no guy would do that," Darkness said, almost hurt. My three fiancées snorted loudly.
"He's not lying. Izumi is a pervert. If you ask him about his fetishes, the answer is yes, he's open to almost everything," Taylor said dryly.
"When we were coming back from our internship, I had to force him to sit down in his seat to keep him from trying to continue having sex with me in public. He really would have if I had let him," Azula added just as dryly.
"We can and have had sex for hours without his getting tired. Izumi is really horny," Ruby added seriously. I looked at them in surprise. Where did the shame of talking about sex and revealing my secrets go? They seemed to understand my gaze and looked at me dryly before looking at Darkness on the floor.
Yeah, I guess that ship sailed long ago. I looked at Darkness, who had a surprised look on her face and was looking at me almost hopefully.
" S -so- y-you really-" Darkness tried to say while stuttering, I shrugged.
"If you want me, and with a few rules, obviously, I'd have no problem experimenting and indulging your fetish. After all, I like that too." I said honestly. Darkness looked at me for a few seconds before smiling brightly.
" Yes, I do!" Darkness said happily. I smiled back and nodded.
"Okay, first some rules. You'll learn how to use a sword." I said directly. Darkness's smile froze, and she paled completely.
"b-but I can't use a sword! You saw what happened! " Darkness tried to argue, I snorted.
"I know you're lying. You can land blows if the situation calls for it." I said directly. Darkness shuddered.
"h-how-" she tried to ask.
"It's not how that matters, but why. I know you're doing it to get hit by your opponent. But that's unacceptable in this profession. If you work as a hero or a hunter, even temporarily, you'd be endangering other people's lives simply because of your fetish, so it's unacceptable." I told her directly. Darkness paled and almost seemed to faint at the implication, as if it had never occurred to her.
"In exchange for you improving and becoming more competent in fighting, I will take care of your needs. As I demonstrated a little while ago, I am stronger than you, I can hurt you, I can harm you, and my Haki can ignore your defenses. So I will take care of your masochism, but you will get better at fighting." I added. Darkness froze, and her eyes widened.
"y-you-"
"Not just harm, I'll take care of all your needs, as long as it doesn't interfere with your professional life and academic performance. I'll take care of hurting you in any way you like, humiliating you, embarrassing you, and sexually satisfying you. As long as you keep your grades up. Do we have a deal?" I asked with a smile as I extended my hand. Darkness seemed surprised and looked at my hand briefly before smiling.
"I will! I will improve at using a sword! In fighting! But you have to take responsibility for me! " Darkness said as she held my hand tightly, as if she feared I would back out. I guess it made sense. She had said she hadn't met any guy who also liked her fetish, so it's possible she thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime situation. She took advantage of the opportunity, even at the cost of her desire to get beaten up by her opponents. I nodded.
"Congratulations, you got yourself a submissive." Jinx said mockingly.
"And a sexy one at that." I said proudly and unashamedly as I stroked Darkness's head.
" Yay! The family is getting bigger! " Ruby cheered happily. Taylor sighed.
"I guess we'll just have to get to know each other better," Taylor said. Azula growled slightly.
"W-we don't have to do something like that, do we?" Visha asked with a blush. I looked at her suggestively.
"Not really, unless you want to. If there's anything you want to explore when we get to that point, just let me know, and we'll do it. Or I'll even ask about some things, but you can always decline anything that makes you uncomfortable. I'm not going to force anything on you. Consent is sexy." I said bluntly, and Visha seemed to sigh in relief. Tanya just nodded.
" Th -that sounds good. There are things I want to… try if we get to… that, but nothing that extreme." Visha said with a nervous smile. I gave her a sympathetic smile and nodded.
"Can I join?" Jinx asked with a cheeky grin.
"Do you want to go out with me too? I'm not into casual sex." I said bluntly. Jinx pouted.
"h-how can you t-talk ab-about it like t-this?!" Louise squeals in embarrassment, as she has been completely silent until now. She was almost horrified by what she was seeing. Nearly all the girls laughed. We quickly started talking. Darkness had remained kneeling while leaning against my leg. She seemed completely comfortable talking from that place. And the others didn't seem to care.
Well, no one but Louise, who still seemed embarrassed by the conversation.
It was a good day. I got five new students, three of whom are my new trial partners. I could only hope everything turned out well.
Author's Notes: The following is considered Spoilers for Izumi's second Quirk! Read at your own discretion. If you don't want to know, just ignore.
Spoilers!!!
Well, after thinking about it, I was finally thinking about giving Izumi Ten Shadows... albeit with some modifications. After thinking about it, giving Izumi a Time Stop is too powerful, and Izumi already is in most cases.
I also didn't want to give him a Zampakuto. I like them, I'm not saying I don't, but I'll be the first to admit that at some point, shikai and bankai are anything but sword abilities. I mean, some even lose their swords. I mean, the first bankai in Bleach are, and only a few, but most of them aren't.
And any other sword abilities don't make much sense either. Zoro and Yoriichi are already strong enough that most of them are useless.
So, if I had to choose a skill that has nothing to do with swords, I like Ten Shadows a lot more.
So, despite being somewhat predictable, Ten Shadows was the one I chose. It's quite versatile and varied, covering almost all situations and being quite fun to use and write. So, I'll stick with them. But before that, a few things.
First! There won't be any cursed energy, but rather aura. That means there's almost no JJK here. (If I feel like it, maybe a character here and there whose Quirk would be their cursed technique. But definitely nothing canon.)
Second! The shikigami! There will be the 10 known ones (well, 9, I'm still considering Mahoraga, too powerful in the Bnha and even One Piece verses. It's possible that only the entire Solo Leveling or DxD verses could do anything to defeat him.)
2.5? About the shikigami! The way you acquire them will also be altered. It seems to me... too unnatural for a Quirk or Semblance to force you to fight against itself to tame it. Also, since it's not cursed energy or jujutsu, rituals don't exist, so taming can't be performed. (Dark Shadow doesn't count; he simply loses control of his Quirk. Neither does Jinwoo; he's just a somewhat elegant necromancer.)
Third! Everything about the shadow manipulation part remains the same, such as shadow storage and hiding, and so on. I'm still not completely decided on Domain Expansion. Megumi never demonstrated full mastery, and the one she did only increased Ten Shadows by 120%, so technically, she didn't demonstrate anything that couldn't be done with Ten Shadows alone.
Fourth! Back to the shikigami, they'll be part of the Quirk, so their origin as shikigami—creations of cursed energy, similar to cursed spirits, inherited and all that—won't be maintained. That said, just like before, I find it incredibly abnormal that a shikigami can be permanently lost if killed, since they're not technically shikigami now. Therefore, they can't be killed. Well, at least not permanently.
If a shikigami is killed, they'll be inactive for a period of time (1-7 days). Meanwhile, Izumi can transfer that shikigami's power to one of the other 9... or to himself.
Sukuna can use the shikigami's powers without summoning them (you won't convince me otherwise). Therefore, I'm putting that ability in a different way. If they kill, or Izumi sacrifices one of his shikigami, he can transfer that shikigami's power to the others, or especially to himself, and use his signature power for, say, 30 minutes.
Fifth! The fusions are still going strong; there will be more combinations than you'll see in JJK's manga, so that part will be improvised quite a bit. They won't be nearly as strong as Agito, unless he sacrifices three of his shikigami to power up a fourth shikigami and inherits its strength. Both forms have pros and cons. If they're killed while having a normal fusion, they won't be disabled in any way, but they're much weaker. But sacrificing them to power up a shikigami exponentially increases their strength.
Let's just say... sacrificing most of them to power up one could reach an S rank.
And sixth! The divine dogs won't be his first shikigami! I didn't want his disorientation to be resolved so quickly by using the divine dogs, so I placed the shikigami on a virtual roulette wheel and spun it! … It landed on Rabbit Escape!
Yes, I'm not kidding, I did, and that's exactly what happened, so Izumi's first shikigami will be the multiplying rabbits.
And that's it! I still have a few things to polish, and it'll probably take a few chapters before she's formally introduced in the story, but I wanted to explain it beforehand. (Mostly so I don't forget how it works.)
