Kurais POV

Histoire returned to the room with the tea as promised. "here you are. I hope it is too your liking." She smiled. I took a sip of the tea. it was actually pretty refreshing. now that I think about it, I've never had tea before have I? "this is really good." I said. "you have a real knack for tea don't you?" I asked. She beamed at me. "You are too kind. it's always nice to see a new face around the Basilicom once in a while so it's no trouble at all!" "Neptune im home!" The door slid open suddenly to reveal another girl entering the room. I looked over at the new visitor. She looked like another neptune but taller and with longer and lighter toned hair. That must be the CPU candidate for Planeptune. Nepgear, I believe her name is.

She caught me staring at her and stared at me for a moment as while before looking at Neptune. "Sis, who is she?" Nepgear asked her sister. Not wanting someone else to make my introduction for me I decided to introduce myself for a change. I stood up from the couch. "I'm Kurai. I'm just traveling around Planeptune and ran into your sister here." She looked a little shocked. "How did you know Neptune's my sister?" She asked nervously. Crap. I quickly thought up what to say in turn. "I've heard you have a lot of skill with technology in Planeptune. So I wanted to request your help while I'm here" Whew, safe! It wasn't a complete lie. I've always been a little curious about her and I do need a weapon to defend myself with and who better than a CPUS sister?

She blushed heavily at my words. "Goodness! you think so?" "I do." I nodded. she smiled so bright that I knew they were definatley related. "I was attacked by monsters before I saved by Neptune here." Neptune beamed with pride at the statement. "And I realized that I need a weapon to defend myself with. I won't always have the backup of a goddess after all." Nepgear snapped out of her thoughts and grew a serious expression. "I'll do my best! if you think I can do it." I nodded once more. "Then I'll need a rough design of what weapon you want. do you have a preference?"

I hadn't really given it much thought before until now. But if I'm gonna leave a somewhat peaceful life, I'll need something to fight with without the requirements of my powers. The form of twin swords came to mind. "I want dual swords to fight with." I replied. "Ooh going for the swords huh? sounds like I've got a fan girl!" Neptune chose that moment to jump into the conversation. I sighed. "That's not the reason. I've kind of liked swords more than other forms of weapons. As for why I want 2 of them...it just feels right somehow." Nepgear seamed to understand where I was coming from and nodded in agreement. "I know what you mean. I feel the same way with my Beam Sword. everyone has a weapon that works for them and dual swords must be that weapon for you." She looked at Histoire. "Miss Histoire, I'd like to take Kurai with me to Lastation. Noire will know the best materials to make what she needs." She pleaded go Histoire.

I was surprised at her enthusiasm. She just met me and she's already willing to go to another nation just to make a weapon for me? I couldnt decide if I should applaud her for her dedication or laugh at her naivete. Histoire nodded in agreement. "It would be good for Miss Kurai to see what Lastation has to offer, if she is alright to take the journey." Even Histoire. Is everyone in Planeptune this overly trusting or is it just these people? "I want to go with! Noire will be so filled with undescribable how to see lil' ol me!" Neptune exclaimed. Somehow I knew that feeling wasn't shared with Lastations CPU as much as she thought it was.

Histoire sent a death glare at Neptune. "You still have plenty of work to do here. Nepgear will keep her company while you do your job!" she looked like she was on the verge of snapping and losing what little sanity she had left. Feeling sorry for her I decided to offer a solution. "How about of you do your job, I'll bring you back a souvenir?" Neptune beamed at the idea. Such a child... "Really? youd scour the world to find something for yours truly?" I nodded. "if you do your job." I repeated. She nodded very eagerly. "I'll do it!" Nepgear and Histoire looked at me like I had just brought about the apocalypse by convincing her to do actual work. "Is this truly a miracle? Neptune is voluntarily doing work?" "Hey!" Neptune whined again. "You are truly a miracle worker Miss Kurai!" Histoire smiled at me. I gave her a faint smile in return. "what can I say? it's like the work of a goddess or something." I laughed slightly at my ironic joke. They didn't think anything suspicious about it and laughed as well.

Histoire looked at the time. "Well then you had best be going. I'll let Noire know of your visit." Nepgear nodded. "thanks Histoire! We'll be back!" Nepgear announced as we left the Basilicom and on to Lastation.

~Nepgears POV~

We decided to take the train over to Lastation to save on time. we both took a seat and it was silent around us. I gave a quick glance over to Kurai. She certainly has a natural beauty to her. She reminds me of Noire and Blanc at the same time. From what I saw from her she can plan solutions and make them happen like Noire and her very likely rage around my sister is like Blanc as well. But.. there's something else that I can't quite make out. Like a kitsune in old folklore, I couldn't make out its shape at all. Yet it felt so familiar but I can't remember why. "Hey." Kurais voice snapped me of my thoughts.

"Yes?" I asked her. "What's Lastation like?" She asked with a slightly excited tone. I smiled. She must be excited to see Lastation. The eagerness in her voice reminded me a youngest child going to a amusement park for the first time. "That's right, you're a traveler aren't you?" She nodded. "Well it kind of has a 'steam punk' quality to it. And it's led by Noire who is Black Heart." She nodded, processing the information Im giving to her. "She knows a lot about manufacturing so she will know what to do your swords." "And she happens to have a cosplay hobby." I heard Kurai whisper. How did she know that? She's never met Noire before so how would she know that? We had to take a vow of silence from Noire to keep it a secret, whom is still secretly designing cosplay to this day, so she couldn't have known about that at all. "what was that?" I asked her calmly, trying not to a how my nerousness. "Nothing." she turned to look out the train window.

"I look forward to meeting her." Kurai said before silence returned to the train. I shook my head, hoping to shake my fears away. she could have heard about it from N-chan or even Neptune. it doesn't mean anything.

...Right?

And thats Episode 3! again I hope I did Nepgears characters alright. xD I thought twin swords would fit Kurai more with her character for some reason. xD But now we have a plot device for introducing Noire! xD And Nepgear senses something amiss! the chapters are long than usual! *dun dun dun!* All joking aside, thank you for your support! if you enjoyed the chapter feel free to leave a review or if you have any suggestions or just want to talk Neptunia then feel free to review all the same! and as always see you next time! *flies away on a nyan cat*
