After a few days of training, Kuroneko now have above average skills in both swords and magic. She could be even said to be one of the most skilled adventurers in LV. 1. She also got her Falna updated after every training she had with Ren and the others. Even though she hasn't gone to the dungeon for a few days, her growth is still astonishing. This is what her Status look like after their training sessions,

This kind growth has never been seen before, more so because this is the result of just pure training. Loki even fears that Kuroneko might get discovered by a certain b*tch goddess and get poached from her. So she told Kuroneko to watch out, as many things can happen in Orario. The others also have the same concern, especially Ren. Ren knows just how crazy Freya can go (A/n: Not going to elaborate on this one as it is a major spoiler), as evident in the things she had done through out the years, Ren can't even decide if Freya can be put in the 'I can fix her' category.

After a small discussion on how to prevent Freya's attention going to Kuroneko, they decided to go to the DCG store for possible solutions. Ren searched his tab as his tab have more items than the others due to him being the owner of the group. He immediately found several things with concealment and such enchantments on them. He spent a few seconds filtering items that only works in short amounts of time. After filtering, 2 items stood out, better than the others.

[Soul Veil

Rank: Unique

Description: A skill that let the user to cover their souls from prying eyes. The user's soul will appear empty or mundane, depending on the observer]

[Cost: 245,000 points]

[Void Shroud

Rank: Unique

Description: A ring that nullifies any kind of appraisal to the user. It can also conceal the user, making the user invisible and silent]

[Cost: 225,000 points]

Ren then relayed the results to the others. He wanted them to share their own opinions first before purchasing things.

Ren: I found two things that satisfies our needs. One is an item, one is a skill. I'm going to show it's effects in the DCG

Ren sent the screenshot of the items to the DCG. 

Kisuke: Both of them are good, but I'm leaning more to the skill

Marquis Voban: I'm of the same opinion

Hancock: Same as me, but their too expensive

Kuroneko: Ugh... I don't have the points.

Loki: Leader, do you have any way to buy these two?

Ren: Actually, yes. I have 90% off for all shop items, but it will still cost over 40,000 for both items.

Kisuke: WAIT... 90% off?

Ren:... I didn't tell you guys?

Everyone: YOU DID NOT!

Everyone grumbled after discovering how unfair Ren's privileges as the owner of the DCG. They were all glaring at Ren, including Kuroneko. This continued for a few seconds before Loki broke the silence.

Loki: *cough* Leader's... Unfairness aside-

Ren: OI

Loki: Let's decide if we should by the items or not.

They went back to thinking, should they buy one of them? or do they buy both? But before they can decide, Kisuke raised his hand.

Kisuke: Do we really need to hide Kuroneko?

Everyone looked at Kisuke weirdly, which he gladly accepted. He then continued talking.

Kisuke: I mean, even if they discover Kuroneko, what can they do? It's not like we won't know where she is as we have the groupchat. Also, in the premise that conflict is unavoidable, I think we can take them on. And it's not like Kuroneko will stay here permanently.

The others were dawned after hearing Kisuke. Yes, why were they so adamant in covering Kuroneko? In fact, they can even take compensation(extort) from their opponents.

Loki: So your saying to release a bait?

Kisuke: Well, maybe not a bait, but a lure? Well, I guess they're about the same.

Marquis Voban: And by doing so, we can reap rewards, is that what you're saying?

Ren: Quite the sinister scheme, I must say. Though the final say is still on Ruri

Kuroneko: I don't like where this is going

Hancock: I... don't really know where to side

They spent a few more minutes talking about Kisuke's proposal. And after much consideration of the pros and cons, they decided that instead of hiding Kuroneko, they'll just lay a trap for the greedy hands out there. Kuroneko, although not happy, also decided to agree. This, of course, after Ren invited her to a date(instigated by Kisuke and Loki) in exchange of agreeing to the plan. Ren wasn't happy of being used as a bargaining chip, but is satisfied nonetheless because he can go with a date with a beautiful girl.

So after their discussion, which is mainly focused on what trap and how much they should extort, they went on their own way to spend the day. Kisuke went wondering to the streets, looking for some gossips, Hancock was hanging out with the other girls in the Loki Familia, Voban was reading in the library, and Loki is... well up to her antics. Meanwhile, Ren and  Kuroneko went to the training field to tackle on their last push in training before going back to the dungeon.

Throughout the entirety of training days, except for Kuroneko, Ais, Lefiya, and Tiona also had great results. Ais can now use her magic like a windblade or a focused wind drill, Lefiya is now looking like a full-pledged magic swordsman, while she still have the same innocent aura in her, you can also sense a sharp presence in her. Lefiya also became able to . Tiona also had a good progress in her dual wielding skills, and while her weapon is still the same Urga that she has before Ren an the others arrive, she said that her new weapon is almost done. She commissioned the same blacksmith who created her Urga. All in all, the four of them had their strength increase by leap and bounds. Now, their Falna look like this
