Yuto Saito sat comfortably on the sofa, offering snacks and fruit to the three women around him. "This is our future home," he said casually, "make yourselves comfortable and help yourselves to anything you like."
Ni Shuang, with a playful glint in her eye, grabbed a handful of melon seeds. "Don't mind if I do!" she teased.
As the others enjoyed the food, Yuto opened his personal status panel:

Yuto noticed he had used up his copy cards after acquiring several talents: Charm, Strong Recovery, and Beast Master. It seemed like it was time to level up to make better use of his skills.
The Beast Master talent, now at level two, could allow him to capture higher-level creatures. Although he wasn't using pets at the moment, the ability would surely be useful in the future. Yuto smiled to himself, imagining the possibilities.
With his experience points, he decided to upgrade.

Yuto felt optimistic about the team's future. If Mina and the others joined, their collective strength would increase even more.
Meanwhile, in the girls' dormitory, a lively conversation was underway. Nazi, Orange, and Mina were enjoying snacks while discussing Yuto's team.
"Yuto's got a solid crew," Mina said, "I think we should join him."
Orange giggled as she playfully shaped a banana and lychees. "Doesn't this remind you of Yuto?" she teased, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
After some discussion, they all agreed to join Yuto's team. As Mina left with some fruit to share with another dormmate, she knew their decision would lead to exciting new adventures.
