"Of course there are, but the other idea would ruin your concert trip," Kazu countered. He could have ordered another round right away. Doing so would have immediately solved his problem, but created more on the other end. Besides, Kazu was never one to seriously use his privilege as a ruler anyway. He'd much rather use it jokingly for cheap tricks. Moving on, it seemed not having to visit a card shop was satisfying to one such as Ai; he couldn't blame her for that. "Well the shop here is awesome. Sakura visited with me earlier, and she had a good time. Though... she's incredibly inhuman mentally. Anyway, it's better to learn in seclusion anyway."

Kei took issue with him not acknowledging the 'over 100%' part of his explanation. Though the explanation for that was very simple, it was equally complex. "I held hands with someone, and she became pregnant. That one was on purpose," he said simply, shrugging. If she really wanted an answer, that was the cut and dry of it. The more rational and composed of the group, Ai, raised the question of condoms. Following Miko's assertion of how that would work for either non-magical or magical, it was time Marisbury said something. "That magic, as I understand it, wouldn't work for anyone with a higher soul quality than myself. If Kimura-kun created one right now, the condom would impregnate you. Also, you didn't; you are with child currently," he clarified, finally breaking a long silence and period of mere observation. "She's right, though. I think it would take a very specific type of effort for even Kimura-kun to impregnate someone anally."

Kazu wasn't opening that can of worms. Marisbury made it seem like an anal impregnation was still theoretically possible. He definitely wouldn't be the one to try. He also wasn't going to take some random handout of yen just because Miko decided to give it to him. "Yeah, no. That's really cool of you, but... no. Unless you want me to work for it, I'm not taking that."

Apparently, Kazuhiko thought of using his privilege to do something else but it would ruin the concert trip. Miko's eyes widened and she immediately shut them closing out the thoughts that ran though her head and placing them in a box. "Everyone should be very happy right now that the concert is giving me weird feelings and I think I need to go... or today would be, such a fucking day," Miko claimed with supreme seriousness. As the conversation progressed to the inhuman behavior of Sakura at a card shop it would be Chika to comment, "I don't think you have to be inhuman, those places aren't so bad. The worst that happens is some guy like puts his junk on your shoulder while pretending to be helpful..." Chika said as if that was a perfectly reasonable thing to have happen. "Please, stop going places by yourself." Miko said for the safety of her ditzy friend not potentially getting gang raped by nerds.

Kei on the other hand was crossing her arms over her her chest and turning her head up. Kazuhiko was far too bold in his explanations for this to be normal. Did he not realize how crazy he sounded. "So... deflowering the princess of the story, bad plan. Purposefully impregnating someone via meme. Fine. Impregnating someone just for fun... fine?" she said sarcastically. "I became a spider by getting eaten by a spider and I have heard more crazy shit in the last five minutes than in my entire life so far!" she said. Condoms apparently wouldn't be working for the kind of soul that Kazuhiko had, and Marisbury confirmed Miko's pregnancy. Her ears had twitched slightly when he spoke but she managed only a little shiver. "I did so much though. There are like three mostly complete avatars, and a big shell one, and maybe something else, I can feel the pull but it's not quite close enough yet... If I had known it would end up like this, I wouldn't have bothered with a condom," Miko said. Perhaps a bit further. "You know this is a bit surreal right? You were the girl a week ago who closed a book due to second hand embarrassment. And you are now discussing a breeding kink just aloud," Ai said a small smirk appearing on her face. Their innocent President has come a long way in a relatively short amount of time. Ah, but that wouldn't be the only thing acknowledge, Chika thought to take on a massive dick anally as she tended to claim she did often. It made Miko utter a term she'd seen written once, "Fucking butt slut," she murmured at Chika who beamed in happiness. "New term of endearment, BUTT SLUT!" she exclaimed victoriously. And in her own defense, Miko couldn't even say it wasn't a term of endearment, given how often she and Kaguya referred to each other in such a way.

After which there was one more thing to deal with, Kazuhiko... claiming to not take the money Miko offered him unelss he worked for it. "No. You're not doing this... working for me isn't necessary. THREE HUNDRED YEARS CHARLIE!" Miko said firmly. "How many times did you cover something anything for me in three hundred years. Call it pay back. Call it a birthday gift... hell call it a wedding present since I didn't actually get you one of those, but fucking take it, because I am actually equipped to be helpful on this side," she said firmly. "Mi-sen didn't get someone a wedding present, that isn't like you..." Kei said. Miko was their most giving friend. Everyone always got, birthday, Christmas and even just hallmark presents from the girl, it was one of her better qualities given her flaky and secretive behavior. "I was a fucking squire. I didn't make any money. I spent all mine on a magic bag... I was so poor that took five years... I didn't even realize I was that poor until we landed." Miko lamented. At the very least, Kazuhiko could take a little gift on the world where Miko was simply better equipped to be helpful.

"Pretty sure that's not something to be happy about. Sounds like missed opportunities for me~" Kazu said. Whatever sort of day Miko was talking about, Kazu was sure he wanted every part of it. Maybe it wasn't all bad, though. "Unless... Angie?!" he shouted to reach the other room. By now, he figured she knew exactly what he was calling for. Kazu was calling upon the goddess to check on her readiness.

Chika had the strangest views on life, much like Astolfo. Kazu couldn't even be bothered hearing her worst-case scenario for visiting a card shop, as he would have expected the same or worse from Astolfo. As for Kei, her issues with his batting average made sense, but there was nothing he could do about it. "I have to give that warning because pulling out feels like the only option. It's no big deal after all the other stuff we've been through," he mused. Chika's claim of the term 'butt slut' as one of endearment was almost hilarious... except, Kazu had knowledge of the anal experience. It wasn't exactly a funny thing for him to hear in the current mood, as such. "Not what I needed to hear. Head's full of stuff. Both heads," the lad commented while pinching the bridge of his nose.

Kazu had no intention to take a random money handout from Miko, or anyone else for that matter. Alas, Miko wasn't having any of that. She spoke of the amount of assistance he'd been offering her for 300 years. That changed nothing. If he had to view it as a wedding gift or something of the sort, however, Kazu supposed he could reluctantly accept... under some conditions. "Fine, damn! But none of that 'I'm actually helpful here' shit! And, I'm using it for the group. Everyone else here is in the same boat, right? No change, no shoes, no... pants?" he asked, failing to avoid another glance in the direction of Ai's exposed legs.

Kazu called Miko's threat a missed opportunity. It wasn't missed, it was simply being pushed off, as she tried to scramble to catch up on all the things she procrastinated between the moments she'd been engaging in sexual activity. "Not missed, just a really long raincheck at this point," Miko said, but he wasn't the only one who had one of those for her at this point. That call to Angelica made her roll over on the couch. "Nooooooooo," she still sounded distressed about the idea. She wasn't quite ready yet, her form wasn't done enough yet. "I feel her digesting is hard," Kaguya mentioned, seemingly amused by it.

It seemed that pulling out was the main method, but everyone in this room already understood the pull of physicality and the truth of magical creation. "Yeah, but given your going rate here, do you actually pull out is the question," Ai said. "Maybe everyone hasn't realized it yet but, instincts outweigh logic even for completely logical people. Especially when there is magic related to creation of any kind, that's the way the worlds work," she mentioned. Of course, there was the matter of Butt Slut Chika seeming to be joking and Kazu claiming that neither of his heads were in the right place. "That doesn't sound like a bad thing," Chika said shrugging. But as she was she didn't deny her body at all, she'd do whatever she felt like and if this new guy they followed needed butt, she would provide.

Moving on from that point, it seemed that Kazu while still reluctant fell to the demands of Miko. It was interesting, watching their dynamic play out. At least two of the young women present wondered if they really didn't belong to each other. He claimed to use it for the group as the other girls also didn't have clothes, or shoes or in Kei's case even pants. "Well, that'd be fine. Still those four are my responsibility. I planned to take care of them regardless. At least take care of yourself a bit since you won't let anyone else do it," she said in a way that made her think she might have said it before. "I mean technically I'd mentally planned a shopping trip/girls outing for when Sakura returned anyway, since her and An-chan won't know the fun stuff about being a girl on this side... the group is just getting larger, but that is fine too," Miko said confidently. "For now though, between Kaguya and I and yesterday we can dress all the new people in the house," Miko said thinking about it. "Hai hai, I was planning to give something to Ai, since she's already insisting on not letting us go out alone," Kaguya said about clothing. Ai looked at Kaguya and Miko and yes, given both of their statements so far, she had no intention of letting them wander together alone anywhere.

"Yes missed. That's me doing something later, when I was probably going to do that anyway, but not doing it now," Kazu argued. He was fine with waiting around, but he couldn't agree with a missed opportunity being anything else. It didn't seem like things would be too much of a struggle, however ─ even though another firm rejection came from Angelica in the other room. There appeared to be some amount of interest... and an equal amount of skepticism regarding the chance of impregnation. "I'm willing to pull out. Admittedly, it doesn't seem like that's what anybody else wants. That part's the problem, but I think it's only an issue for anyone who doesn't have the other experiences yet. As long as it goes in somewhere, it should be fine," he said with new understanding of Creation and its caveats. As for his heads being in the wrong place, Chika argued that it didn't seem like a bad thing. Of course she'd be the one to say that. Kazu shrugged again. "Well, if anyone wants to find out..." he said openly with equally open arms.

Kazu would take that money offered by Miko on the condition that he use it not solely for himself. Miko seemed to agree, despite taking responsibility for the other girls. "They're your responsibility, so they're my responsibility. That's how this works," he insisted. If he was going to be held in leadership forever, Kazu would at least fill the role. "So, shopping tomorrow? Good plan. Great plan. It's gonna be awesome!" he said, obviously having no intention of taking 'no' for an answer.

"Hm, I don't know how I feel about that logic, box it," Miko murmured. As a chronic procrastinator she would rather focus on everything she wanted to do as soon as the idea popped into her head. She was taking this more responsible path and didn't like the idea that she was 'missing' something while she was simply just doing it later to get other things done. Truly this seemed like a situation one couldn't win, especially when she considered her own tardiness even earlier today.

Moving on from that point, apparently, Kazuhiko was willing to pull out but no one seemed like they wanted him to. Such was apparently an issue which is why his rate was so high but he seemed to think that this was something that could be worked on with other more experienced people. "I mean if you're willing to actually pull out then I am in as well... though it will have to be after the concert for me. I really can't let Kaya out of my sight," said Ai with a shrug. Kei was the one who seemed most forward but also knew something specific, the way her personality worked she was likely to tell him one thing while it didn't necessarily mean the same things. That open armed gesture seemed one of convenience aimed initially at Chika who seemed to be the most receptive given her preferences. "It will be I who finds out the secrets first!~" claimed Chika. Well that part was taken care of at least. "We could also learn to play the card game, so we'll have something to do while everyone is having a go. I mean, that seems fair right?" Kei claimed as she was currently thinking about what she was like in sexual situations and suddenly really wanted more clarity before deciding.

Beyond those points, a shopping trip was being planned for the next day, which Miko could agree to, but both Kaguya and Ai would be listening to with knowing smirks on their faces. A little whispered exchange taking place between them. "They do know saying stuff like that makes them sound like a couple, right?" Ai asked of Kaguya who shrugged and added in some context, "They've been like this the whole time, though I think that makes us the kids in that case~" claimed Kaguya with a chortle. "I can hear you both," Miko said narrowing her eyes in their direction. "Yes, shopping for everyone tomorrow. Necessities and the like... for now, you can patch in your clothes with the stuff in the bags in the living room, but Kei stay away from my shoes, and you'll know exactly which ones I mean..." Miko claimed as if this was logical.

Ai offered a condition of her own for involvement ─ one that sounded similar to Saori after she, too, received his initial warning. "Fair. If you decide to lock me in at the end when I've said it's time, though... it's on you," he clarified. That was another thing he had to deal with earlier this day; he was sure that one would come back to bite him despite being the active choice of someone else. Either way, it seemed for a moment that Chika would be taking his open offer for the group. Well... it seemed that way until Kei spoke of trading cards again. Now, Kazu was at an impasse.

Would he be answering his ceaseless erection, or would he be answering his passion? The choice itself was difficult, but Kei did have a point. It would be much fairer to others who weren't yet involved to be capable of passing the time. Kazu had no problem putting his own desires off to ensure everyone had the best time possible, and in this case, sharing the love of trading cards was also a desire of his. "That is fair. I like your vibe! Besides, Angie wanted to learn too, and she's got nothing else going on now. To the cardmobile! Angie!" he called out again while leading the charge toward the living room. Chika would be kept in mind, but for now... trading cards!

Meanwhile, Hiruko occupied the most overly extravagant living room he'd seen in some time. In just the living room, there was a long wraparound couch, a full bar, a television the size of a movie screen, and several stripper poles. For one who didn't live the high life, Shota sure made some high life choices when requesting features for this house. Sadly, Hiruko couldn't even question his younger cousin's decisions, as the other male left some minutes before he settled. With dinner approaching, Shota realized no food had been brought to this house. As such, one failed attempt to drive Hiruko's Ferrari out to market led to the young man taking his sedan out instead, instructing the blonde to keep his lady friend company if she returned. "Yare yare. Don't try to be a player while also leaving your girls in other guys' company," Hiruko mused to himself while checking his phone.

According to Kazu what Ai desired was fine, unless of course she decided to lock him in. She knew what he meant, but that was also the problem of this kind of thing with an existence like his. "Hai hai, that isn't so much a problem for me..." she said knowing that she also understood the issues. Well, she could hope at least, though given how attractive he was as an entity she doubted anyone would be properly capable of keeping track of such a thing. Ai would have to figure out the long and short of babies and if they'd need to be delivered through the gate to avoid problems, but she could put that aside for now. "Of course," Kei said seeming to be overly pleased with herself. Angelica for her part would be laying on the couch but the call of card mobile sounded less aggressive than sex so she would deal with it. "Alright, cards I can manage..." she muttered. as she finally got up from the couch she headed over to the place where Kazuhiko's cards were kept and also found that present from Sakura. The rest of the girls would towards the group to join with a few looking through clothes for the sake of comfort eventually. "Oh? Is this what Sakura left? Oh, and those are the girls from the emergency meeting..." she asked about the bag containing two boxes from the new set and a note from Sakura telling them to have fun with them.

Speaking of Sakura, the purple haired girl had wondered quite far out during the day, and would be making her way back slowly. Still, she approached the mansion with a smile as she noted the missing sedan. She concluded she'd have a quiet time but also noticed quite the nice looking vehicle that reminded her of the tail end of the one she'd seen last night. Her senses were open enough for her to enter the house's locked door with a key she'd been given. She slipped off her shoes at the door and brought her things with her inside. 'It feels like the guy from last night. I hope its him, he seems interesting...' she thought within her head. "Tadaima," she called out not wanting to potentially startle anyone as she made her way around inside the place. She'd not actually had much of a look around yet and it would be a bit before she found Hiruko sitting on the couch in the living room. "Sou ka," she said happy light dancing in her eyes as she took him in. He was very interesting to look at of this she was certain.

And so, there was an approach to a new adventure ─ one ending in trading card games. Of all the adventures Kazu had, this sort was among his favorites. More participants meant more fun, and he'd soon get to see the types of decks built by six different people. That alone was exciting, but more exciting still was the gift left behind by Sakura. Kazu checked the bag, and what he saw was something he'd been waiting weeks in this world for. "Aah! This is the new set! This just dropped like... like today! It's fucking awesome!" he exclaimed. In that very moment, Sakura was his favorite person across both worlds. He couldn't wait to start opening packs from that case, but... he would wait, simply because it was part of the culture. "We have to open these as soon as she gets back. Actually..." Kazu paused there, taking a moment to text Sakura. It read: "Just found the card cases!♥ Did you get one for yourself too?"

Meanwhile, as if by design, another message was delivered to the phones of both Miko and Kaguya. While he sat around waiting, Hiruko created a group chat between those two and himself. Prior to Sakura's return, he sent a message that read: "You girls alright over there? I wanted to see when you were both free for that exchange. Most of your money will have to go into a tab at the Diamond, but I can make some time to swing by with something."

Shortly after sending that message, Hiruko heard the door open. It was far too early for Shota to return, but... a key was used. Surely he didn't give this girl he met this week a key to his house, right? Wrong. The person who entered was a purple-haired girl matching Shota's description, and that was definitely a key in her hand. What an idiot. "Tohsaka Sakura ka?" he questioned by the time she was in view. Shota's stupidity aside, Hiruko held no grudges against Sakura; he wasn't going to be rude, though he'd yet to look her way fully. "Okaeri. Are you the reason all these poles are here? Shocchi's a bold one ─ I'll give him that."

As the group sat down in the living room all around a Kotatsu, the gift left for Angelica and Kazuhiko was obvious to all present. A smile came to Miko's face as she saw the cases, and the explanation from Kazuhiko said the girl had been very thoughtful in her gift-giving. She could see how happy he was, as could the rest of the people present, so none even questioned it. "I don't know what that means, but it seems super thoughtful," Angelica said as she joined the rest of the group. The Student Council sat around one end, with Miko sitting in Kaguya's lap at the end of the table, while Ai and Kei sat to one side and Chika sat down beside Angelica. All seemed well as that first text message left Kazuhiko's phone. "Definitely thoughtful, maybe that shop really isn't so bad, she has been going by herself," Kaguya said thinking about the outings that Sakura had been taking, she'd absorbed a lot of information about the whole thing to simply leave such a gift. At the same time a set of text messages would reach both Miko and Kaguya, and Miko would pick up her own phone and unlock it without hesitation, while Kaguya mostly ignored hers. "Kaya-sen this one's important reply..." Miko said after reading the message. "Hai hai, Bucho~" Kaguya mentioned while squeezing Miko's sides before reaching for her phone on which the screen had just gone dark. Her reply would begin swiftly. We're great, a bit of a busy day for me though. >.< I hope you're doing well. :3 We haven't been the concert yet, and I have some things to work on tonight. x.x After that we have group activities for tomorrow. D: I'd probably be free sometime late tomorrow for just a quick visit or the day after if you wanted to hang out. o.o At the same time a different text was sent from Kaguya's phone, We're good. Though you did manage to totally wreck me for most of the day!♥~ Mi-chan's more likely to be properly busy than I am, so whatever she says for timing is cool with me ;D

Meanwhile, at the house, Sakura had stumbled upon a rare gem, that being said, something directly more important had appeared on her phone and that was Kimura Kazuhiko. She found herself easily looking at the message a small smile appearing on her face. The look of that implied he was happy, and this in turn made Sakura happy. "Hai! I wasn't going to buy one but Reiji-san gave me an extra one when I paid for the other two. Are you enjoying them?" she asked immediately, As for the man on the couch she could give him about as much attention as he was giving her. "Hai, hajimemashite." she offered. Though something he said hit her ears oddly, he was using that shorted form of name that she'd only heard from Kakihara, but it hit her ears at a much better coming from the man on the couch even as a reference to him. As for what else he had to say she looked visibly taken aback. "I don't think so. Kakihara-san doesn't know me that well, and I have no idea what those are for," she said in the dead pan way she generally observed things. "Though I have seen them before, hm." that seemed to be a question that needed answering.
