Mari was rather surprised at the reaction Ibuki gave off. She had thought that maybe it was simply some sort of attachment or something, but this helped her to realize just how real this was now. After all, she had only seen something like this in some games and anime, never thinking anyone these days could experience the same thing. Her expression didn't seem too different, only a little lighter as she glanced down to her friend writhing on the ground. "Hmm...that's interesting. Never thought that you'd be able to feel something like that. Might be a bit of a disadvantage in some cases though. I'm sure like in any online game there are Player Killers. It wouldn't be too hard to subdue you this way." she said, quickly releasing her tail.<br/><br/>She crossed her arms over her chest, thinking about what she had said earlier about her growing weapon. "Hmm, I guess I lucked out then. It'll save me a bunch of money if I just need to level up and get stronger." that didn't sound too bad to an avid grinder like her. The idea of having an NPC assistant sounded like a plan too. It would no doubt be helpful for that little extra damage they could provide. She'd need to have a really cool one once she really got into the swing of things. Things were looking a lot better already for this game. The only thing that still confused her was the whole sex factor. She remembered seeing something at the creation screens about virginity and whatnot. She hadn't touched it, so it remained on. Well, in due time she was sure she'd understand all there was to know.
