You decide to show Shiori the world of firearms, but unfortunately she's such a clumsy and scatterbrained gal that she's had 8 different incidents of negligent discharges that leave you wary for her (and your) safety. Still, you find her newfound enthusiasm in guns endearing even if her self-preservation is a little questionable at times.
First time:
>She's at your apartment after buying her first pistol from a gun show.
>She's showing off her new Jericho 941 and goes on a tangent about how it was featured on Cowboy Bebop.
>She tries to manually de-cock it but in her enthusiasm her thumb slips on the hammer and she fires off a round into the celling.
>Luckily the upstairs neighbors were too high and drunk (they also possessed illegal drugs) to call the police.
Second time:
>You're on a range date with her and her dad tagging along.
>She's showing Papa Novella her pistol, thinking the gun is unloaded.
>She points it at the ground to rack and pull the trigger, excited to demonstrate to him that she knows how they work now.
>She forgot about the magazine loaded in the gun as she fires off a round between his feet.
>Her dad was justifiably angry but seeing that Shiori was his precious little girl, he cooled off real quick.
Third time:
>You're at her apartment after she just bought a SIG Sauer P239 and is showing it off to you.
>She's looking down the sights while talking about how this gun was in Gunslinger Girl.
>She forgot about how the gun was loaded as she imitates Henrietta in the first episode and pulls the trigger, firing off a round into her wall.
Fourth time:
>You're at another range again, sans Papa Novella.
>Shiori rents out an AK-47 after seeing it in Magical Girl Raising Project.
>She's playing around with it pretending to be Calamity Jane as she pulls back the AK's bolt and releases it.
>It slam fires a round into the ground, and you're both kicked out of yet another range by an (understandably) irate RSO.
>You're starting to run out of places for range dates to go with her.
Fifth time:
>You're at Shiori's apartment, with you both showing Rissa how to use a gun.
>You have no idea how, but a round got chambered in Shiori's gun.
>Before you realize that she never unloaded it, you're too late to stop Shiori from showing Rissa how the trigger works as she pulls it and shoots another round into the wall, surprisingly in the same spot as the third incident.
>Shiori gets a harsh tongue-lashing, courtesy of the walking, talking Raven.
Sixth time:
>You're both breaking into an abandoned mall after hearing rumors about how it was haunted.
>She brings her gun with her for safety while talking about how she's using "iron-tipped" bullets for "ghostly self-defense" while saying those words in her dorky joke voice.
>While you're holding hands, she happily goes on a tangent about folklore and how ghosts can be repelled with salt and iron.
>You swear she just learned that from TV.
>You're in the atrium when a rat runs by your feet, startling her.
>Her armed hand's finger jerks on the trigger as she fires off a round into the ground and it ricochets into a nearby storefront's window, nearly taking your head off.
>You were gonna scold her, but she looked so scared you dropped it. You took her home real quickly after that.
Seventh time:
>Biboo brings over a gun to Shiori's apartment while you're there too.
>Because of Shiori, some of the other Advent girls are starting to get interested in guns too.
>In her excitement Shiori grabs it and pulls the trigger without clearing it, firing off yet another round in her home.
>This time the bullet went into the ceiling.
>Shiori sweats profusely as she swears she didn't even realize the thing was loaded and Biboo looks on in shock and horror with her mouth agape at her clumsy "sister" and her sense of safety.
Eighth time:
>You're at your apartment, as you show Shiori your transferable Mac-10 (you'd think you'd learn your lesson by now).
>She had no idea how open bolt guns worked, and you were about to teach her before your stomach began rumbling.
>She probably gave you moldy bread again for breakfast, oh well.
>You head off to the bathroom.
>Wanting to feel the Mac's full weight, she puts a loaded mag in it and decides to try and release the bolt (she thought it shot from a closed bolt).
>She pulls the trigger for some reason and shoots two rounds into your wall and one into your bathroom door. You didn't need to use the bathroom for very long after that.
While you've had a few negligent discharges yourself, it's a part of owning guns and a learning experience. But with Shiori, you're getting too terrifyingly used to them.
Disclaimer for gun-toting Novelites: i don't think this needs to be said but i'll say it anyway; despite the closing line, DON'T be a dumbass with guns and do your best to avoid negligent discharges. Shiori wouldn't want you getting hurt.
