In her mind Toshiro was one of those men who were completely harmless. She didn’t need to worry about him trying to get handsy or anything like that. Even if he would do something it would probably be just misunderstanding because… well, for someone so smart he was quite stupid on some areas of life. “The way you are showering me with compliments so early in the night. I like that! You are quite a smooth talker when you feel like that. Just for your information, I wouldn’t mind dancing. On the contrary, I would love to share a dance or two with you”<br/><br/>Oh dear… the date. Nerissa wanted to hit her head on a wall out of frustration. Or guilt. “Lily is beautiful too. I don’t understand why everyone keeps forgetting that…?” She mumbled quietly. Sure Lily dressed up casually, but were people blind?! Or did they need to see her naked to see Lily like she saw her? Like things were now, all this felt like a swan song to her friendship with Lily. “I’m happy to hear that” Nera managed to say with a shaky smile. Oh my… We just aren’t meant to get along, are we?<br/><br/>A classy. It was interesting how they viewed the same person so differently. Nerissa didn’t consider Albion like that, though… it would be nice to see him dressed properly again and be the one to help him out of his clothes. Toshiro’s ‘let’s focus on the mission’ couldn’t not have come at a better time. Nerissa cleared her throat and nodded. “Yea. We should focus”<br/><br/>“I don’t mind asking. Yea, it was a 10 year anniversary gift. We made a small trip to Morocco to celebrate it. It was really fun! I haven’t been out of Japan many times so it was exciting. We had planned to travel more. Much more, travel around the world before we would decide where to settle down when Mihel would retire, but…” Nerissa sighed and shrugged. “... things didn’t go as we planned them to go. Now, don’t even think about apologising again!” Nera chuckled, guessing Toshiro might feel guilty about digging up old memories. The fox demon generally didn’t mind being asked questions, not even personal ones. If one asked something she wasn’t comfortable answering with, she told that. “I’m not alone anymore…” The demoness said with a mysterious smile as she looked at the screens. That smile. It looked like the smile one would have after getting something good. Really good.<br/><br/>“Who is going to supervise them?” the girl asked and glanced at the researcher. They were bribing the old demon with pears? After Leasick’s comments Nerissa thought to avoid cluttering the channel with unnecessary chatter. “I’m sorry if I made you angry with the suggestion of an electric collar. I meant nothing bad with it. I have worn a collar like that myself in a reception center of demons and I didn’t think it was a problem. I assure you that I just wanted to help. If something goes wrong… it’s unpleasant but not lethal. If we don’t have nonlethal options to get the situation back under control…” They both knew what that would mean. “And not just because of that. If something happens, if someone gets hurt or worse, I’m not sure you would ever forgive it to yourself, knowing that you could have done more.”<br/><br/>There had been no such thing as reception centers for demons. Even if there were such places, they sure didn’t put electric collars on the demons populating them. The fox demon looked at the laughing man, raising her eyebrows with an innocent, little confused look. “Why not?” And he gave her answer quickly. Nerissa was going to argue about the topic, but a loud, extremely annoying screeching noise (https://youtu.be/82scBZ3h62Q) filled her sensitive ear. The girl cried out and quickly yanked off her ear piece, tossing it on the counter like it had bit her. “What was that?!” Nerissa looked at the screens, but she couldn’t see anything out of ordinary that could be the cause of this kind of disturbance. “Could it be those… jammer things?”<br/>
