Nope. Preparations happen fast...although...

"Fine. If you help me with my thing, I'll help you with yours." Asuka looks stunned that you would readily agree to it, but Keito just kind of shrugs. "Yeah. That sounds fair. If it doesn't stop me from the two things that I need to do, then I see no reason not to. It's probably going to make you stronger, right? That means more people will live and be able to fight, which is actually really helpful."

"Soo....how long does it take to get this shit ready?" Asuka asked the obvious question, and he debated for a few moments. "Not long. But also...it's not like time magically slows down either. You can't just leave something like that in the open and expect people not to notice. It'd be better to do it in someone's house."

The pause from everyone is followed by Asuka staring at both of you. "Oh, for..." She can tell where this heading. "Well, it's not going to work at my house. I made improvements to it, exactly to AVOID this kind of thing to happen. And having a Reaper know what we're doing, would be bad. So obviously, Alex's place is out."

"Wait. What?"

"Hmm?" Keito casually ignores your confusion. That only raises more questions since the way he makes it sounds, seems to imply that he isn't talking about you. It's not all too surprising either. The exact reason for taking his help was because he knew things. Just how much he knows however, seems to be completely different.

"Fine. Any other dumb bullshit to mention?" Asuka is hostile about it and Keito seems ready to say something before stopping and then opening his mouth again. "A little more, yeah. But it's better to bring it up later."

With that out of the way, you all go your separate ways for a bit and continue on with classes until the day ends. Time actually seems to move really quickly, and you are more than anxious to get on with it. Joining up with the other two, it's a moderately long walk to Asuka's house. It's not the most expensive looking place, but not totally worn down either.

As soon as you enter, the scent of alcohol is strong even before you seen all the empty bottles littered across the area. She doesn't acknowledge it, as she kicks off her shoes at the door. After doing the same, she quickly leads you both to her room.

The interior is dark and with posters of metal bands covering walls in a very specific way to make a skull formation. Holes in the wall and some dents in the floor that you're sure there is a story behind them, but it doesn't seem like the time to ask. There's not time to take a good luck before Keito dumps contents from his bag on the floor.

Between the three of you, making the chalk outline on the ground is fast. The pentagram formation seems a little on the nose, and you aren't the only one thinking it. "So a chalk drawing. Is that seriously all we need?" Asuka asks it for you but Keito shakes his head. "At any other time, it wouldn't. But today is pretty special. But you also need something really important to activate too."

"Which is?" Asuka is expectant and Keito clearly looks hesitant to bring it up. "Summoners have a bit of a spark of dark energy. That's part of their connection to the app. At least that's what the wiki says. That little bit of spark can be spread a bunch of ways. But most involve killing someone, which doesn't help us here. Still. There is a way to extract energy that I know demons do."

"Don't tell me..." She's just as surprised as you are. "Is that even possible for summoners to extract energy like succubi can?" You have to ask the follow up question, understanding what he's thinking. "To each other? No. But these seals are special to draw power from their surroundings. I bet a proper demon would work to for use, but I don't think any of us have the numbers to go sacrificing them. You'd have to draw it's power into the seal by doing dirty things with it."
