[While Makoto originally thought that Futaba was going to go through internet withdrawal, she wasn't expecting her to feel so powerless.]

[Fortunately for them both, Makoto had already started working on that. Since coming here she had met several people that were disappointed with their inability to do things. One was a rather detestable blue-robed fellow, while another was a witch that was having difficulty to fly. Even Makoto herself was feeling a bit disarmed without the ability to summon Johana. With a small movement she reached into her bag and pulled out a pamphlet.]

I have been thinking about that myself. The world of Vaikuntha relies on its own rules and seems to have the ability to enforce those rules on us. If we're going to be able to explore beyond the Curti Center, we are going to have to be able to defend ourselves. Fortunately, this world seems to have ways of empowering adventurers through something they call 'asterisks.'

[She flips the pamphlet over and slides it towards Futaba.] Futaba, have you seen the information on the Astrologean Job? It sounds like it would be right up your alley.
