The next morning, Shiki Tohno brought Travis to the lounge where they had left the asleep Coco Jumbo.
Arriving on the scene, he found the turtle... now over 2 yards in length and weighing over 900 kg, with a small tree growing on its now spiky shell.

"Hmmm.. I was hoping he'd be a bit bigger, but he'll do." He said jokingly.
------------------
Meanwhile Travis went back to the hidden room and opened it.

"Gala", the turtle stated. Apparently, the 'Torterra' part of its name had granted it the ability to speak, but like pokémon do.
"He won't fit through the door however. We'll have to get him out some other way", the butler pondered. "Would you rather do it yourself, or should I seek someone else?"
Opening the hidden room door, Travis found a small room looking very 'creepy old basement' like, with an old wooden table upon which rested a strange black crystal seemingly encased in root-like wooden bits, stronger than metal. And within the crystal, he could see a red eye, gazing back at him. Whatever that thing was, it was obviously the result of black magic, though he sensed no actual danger from it.

"I'll do it." He said teleporting the turtle outside. He then went to see how Yumina, and Lucia were doing.
3 sup-eff in TP to send the Turtle outside to a nice habitat it can rest in.
-----------------------
He went up to the Crystal, and deciding to be a schmuck put his hands on it as he tried to appraise it.
20 sup-eff in concentration to scan the crystal.

He brought the turtle over to a huge pond located on the estate, with plenty of plants and fauna around, making it perfect for the giant turtle, who nuzzled him gratefully.
After bringing him there, he searched for the two Isekai'd princesses, finding them still in the process of learning the ropes of their new world with the assistance of Gillian and Lucy.
Analyzing the object, Travis sensed its nature; the 'Eye of the Outsider', an artifact crafted from enchanted wood, crystallized void and the eye of a long dead prophetess, which had the ability to sense the deepest desires, fears and even the dreams experienced by people. Furthermore, it could be used to 'visit' those dreams in a pocket dimension where time and space did not exist. Visiting said dream would allow one to experience it and interact with it, but it would have no impact on the real world, making it a sort of occult 'virtual reality' device of sort.

He smiled at the two wearing long sleeved shin-length gowns of purple for Yumina, and Green for Lu with white heels.
"Hey... Hope you don't mind if I join in?" He asked settling between them as he took Yumina's legs into his lap for a massage.
2 stones sup-eff in PM.
--------------------
He stored the device away. Then exited the room, before trying to open it again.
1 in GoB to store away the relic for now.

"Never, dear", Gillian said, moving to make room for him on the couch where they were discussing.
"We'd love to have you along for the ride", Yumina said warmly.
He successfully re-opened the room, revealing a simply desk with a glowy, golden orb atop of it.

He nodded and then did the same to Lu.
2 sup-eff in PM on her now.
-------------------
He carefully appraised the item.
20 sup-eff in Concentration to do so.

Lucia was soon purring under his every touch.
He identified the object as a Dagon Sphere. While it was a consumable item - as in, it would lose its powers after one use - it was capable of severely weakening beings of divine or similar power. He could tell it would even work on himself (though given how freakishly powerful he was, it wouldn't make much of a difference. Still fairly impressive).
All in all, getting a Dagon Sphere in contact with a deity/cosmic entity/eldritch abomination would debuff them greatly over a duration of 24 hours.
OOC: Gained:
-Eye of the Outsider (AN 12 VS Intelligence to sense the deepest desires/fears/dreams of a sentient target within a 1 mile Range. Also, at user's discretion, may open a portal leading to an illusory pocket dimension of one such dream, effectively working akin to Create Illusions AN 12 effect affecting all senses. The dream dimension feels extremely real but cannot cause harm nor damage, and time and space outside of it are unaffected and still while the visitors are within. All stones are free from GP and the artifact is indestructible. The eye is an artifact crafted from enchanted wood, crystallized void and the eye of a long dead prophetess; it is said to have been crafted by the Outsider itself.)
-Dagon Sphere (A one use, consumable artifact-level weapon against gods/cosmic entities/eldritch abominations. Used against such a being, it will lower any and all Abilities/Actions/Modifiers by -3 - INCLUDING Power Level, Tier and the like. Any Invulnerabilities are temporarily disabled and replaced with a 'mere' +8 defense of the respective type, and the being suffers a -3 penalty to all Actions on top of all the rest. If killed while under the effects of the sphere, any Reconstitute Self powers of the being will be less effective, requiring 10 times longer before taking effect. Its effects last for 24 hours. The only defense against a Dagon Sphere is... NOT being a god/cosmic entity/eldritch abomination. However, upon a successful use, the sphere is destroyed. The Dagon Sphere appears as a simple, golden, glowing orb about the size of a human palm.)

He alternated between massaging one Princess. Then the other as he kept allowed Gillian to continue the lacuture.
1 sup-eff in PM to keep the girls happy.
--------------------
pocketing the sphere for now he took the eye up to his office and set it up in a corner before attempting to use his powers to enhance it a bit.
1 in PL for extra action.
1 sup-eff in GoB.... 1 to store the sphere. The other 1 take out the Eye of the Outsider once we reach my office.
3 sup-eff in TP to reach my office.
160 stones in Imbuement to "enhance" the Eye so that not only can I bring people/things with me two and from the Dream Worlds, but I can also decide if anything on them doesn't come like clothes/gear and the like. Giving up 1w to make it permanant.

After a while, it seemed that they were both having a bit of trouble focusing on Gil's teachings.
"Hm. It would seem your influence on them is turning out to be distracting", Gil noted with a smirk. "Perhaps it is time for a break. Perhaps would you like to suggest an activity we could invite our new family members to join us for?" she asked. "...Alternately, I might have an idea of my own."
Upon returning to his office, he successfully managed to further enchant the artifact with his powers.

"I have a couple of ideas, but by all means, go ahead and suggest." He said.
-----------------
He proceeded to try using the Eye on Yoruichi out of morbid curiousity.

"I was thinking maybe we could take them out for a little bit of training. Maybe have Yumina come up with some skills for them to wield and help them get used to them a bit" Gil suggested.
The Eye seemed to whisper what it sensed directly into his mind, as though he was hearing several people with different voices speaking of what he sensed. The ghost huntress apparently had various strong feelings, including a fear of being seen as obsolete among the palace's staff, given how many of the family could deal with ghosts if they so pleased. She would never admit it willingly, but one of her deepest desires was to actually become part of the harem one day, although she had seemingly buried that deep within her psyche as something she saw as impossible.
As for her dreams, she apparently often dreamt of her as a cat causing mayhem and chaos for the sheer fun of it... a.k.a, pretty much being a cat. Many of her dreams involved teasing and/or flirting with various people, including quite a few among the palace's staff and family. Some had her getting piss-drunk and acting like a complete fool, though she wasn't especially happy about those given that she had long grown considerably more mature about her former 'eccentric' behavior over the last decases. Finally, she sometimes dreamt of being Travis' own, personal cat for some reason.

"Okay, I would like that.... How about it girls?" He asked.
-------------------
He smiled and opened a portal to the personal cat dream. Taking Stella, Erina, Alice, and Yoruichi herself along for the ride.
without any clothes.

"I'm up for it. I'd like to get used to my new powers", Yumina agreed.
"Sounds fun. And a little scary. But mostly fun", Lucia said, smiling.
He brought the group along to what seemed like a fairly similar dream version of the palace with multiple recognizable rooms, but odd inconsistencies as one would expect for a dream, such as rooms in the wrong order, windows not being where they usually are, even the occasional wrong color or blurry painting. Apparently the subconscious wasn't all that great with consistency. What was consistent, however, was seeing Travis himself, in his office, taking care of business paperwork with one hand, while petting his beloved pet cat Yoruichi with the other.
"What the...?" the actual Yoruichi let out in confusion, along with the other girls as they suddenly found themselves in this dream world without any warning.
"Hm? Are we doing something fun in particular?" Erina asked with curiosity.
