'Close to the edge' was how Hiroshi intended to keep the woman called Nara Rita, as was his duty. The inborn dexterity of an elf could not be put to shame, even if his identity of an elf was a complete mystery. Against a human, his kind would expect an absolute overwhelming experience from use of his fingers. Of course, Hiroshi cared little about upholding that standard... but a bit of that pride could never be lost entirely. Those come-hither motions would not be halted by any amount of progression, nor the clutching of digits that occurred as a result. No, he'd push through even that to find an easier journey thereafter. All the while, Hiroshi thought it a decent time to partake of Rita's mana again, right from the bosom.

Miko was quite the scamp, though she didn't often get credit for being such in Kazu's experience with her. Perhaps there was a difference between the girl and her avatar, as he'd noticed of himself in some minor ways... or perhaps it was a feature he'd just yet to see through the shier incarnation. She remembered his mention of her unexpected comfort some days before, and decided to have a bit of fun at his expense. Interesting, he thought. "Kinda weird you think that's worth it ─ especially after seeing how comfortable you got earlier today. Or... yesterday? Ugh, it's all starting to blend again," Kazu stated, rubbing his head in confusion. Time had been slipping from him repeatedly as of late, especially after reentering the Nexus. Perhaps it would all settle whenever he slowed down a bit. Regardless, he now had a shirt to throw on. "Sankusu!" he exclaimed while preparing to don the new article. He did so while Ai was entering the room... or rather, he tried to. When the blonde spoke, Kazu was found tugging that shirt over his head, only managing to have one eye visible through the neck hole. "Eh? Oh, yeah! Always good to have some company, but uh... problems first. Annie, I'm pretty sure you just handed me the wrong shirt." As he redirected his attention, Kazu caught himself in quite the predicament. It was impossible to get his head through the proper hole, mostly because one arm was trapped over his head and dangling. All the while, his other arm failed to find its destination. He tried to slip this shirt on like one that fit normally, but alas... that was never going to work.

Rita was on the receiving end of a prideful elf. Well, she didn't know that, but she did know that the man who was currently caressing her canal was far more talented with his hands than most people could be. That orgasm she experienced didn't deter this actions. No, that finger movement continued even through convulsions and the excess fluids produced by the actions. She could call herself squirming under the attention but her body wouldn't deny liking it. And it wouldn't be allowed to be all the sensations she felt either, soon enough Hiroshi was back to accosting her bosom with his mouth, which sent a jolt of sensation straight down her core. She moaned aloud as she felt that pleasantry along with the movements in her core. Steadily did her hips and hand move, like she was simply enjoying the sensation of the least invasive version of this act.

Meanwhile, Kazuhiko was meeting the truest form of his companion Anais. Iino Miko was a bit of a scamp and a touch sadistic. Rather, once she was teased she saw only fairness in teasing someone back and getting back the 'lick' lost. Such was why she poked fun at Kazuhiko practically running from the situation surrounding Kei. Of course, he noted the difference and spoke on it, along with the amount of time. "Again, that speaks more to everyone else than me. Also don't murder your brain trying to think about the timing..." she said about the timing issue. She finally put down the case if only to hold her hands to both sides of his face for a moment. "Relax, let your brain sort itself out," she claimed knowing the truth of such words for herself. Afterwards he was thanking her for the shirt and then aiming to put it on. Miko watched and chuckled and upon seeing the predicament, pulled out her phone, snapping a series of pictures. Of course, it didn't go quite as smoothly as he would have thought. Ai was watching the lad's rather shredded body only to see him get stuck in a t-shirt, "That's priceless..." she said. All the while, she'd been thinking any normal guy who knew they looked that good couldn't be so appreciably human. "And good good, it'd be a shame not to spend a bit of time together," Ai mentioned happily. Of course Miko would be responding soon after, "Iia, it's definitely the right size, it's a head first, then arms kind of situation. Trust me~" she claimed, making sure to snap a few more pictures. "Also you're welcome," she said as if responding to Kazuhiko's thanks but her eyes were directed at Ai who nodded her appreciation, one couldn't fault Miko. Ai would have been proud of herself too if she'd managed to put a guy like this in a super tight t-shirt. Soon she was coming over to help him raise the shirt off his arm so that he could, put it on properly. Gentle fingers touching his skin all the while.

Kazuhiko never imagined he'd have such difficulty putting on a single shirt, or any article of clothing for that matter... except pants. Even before his 'ascension' occurred, stepping into that first leg when rushing was always a colossal loss of time in the end. Ah, but that didn't matter. In this new life, he should have easily been capable of slipping into anything in the blink of an eye, not a movement wasted. Why couldn't he? Probably because this shirt was trying to become a new layer of skin. Hearing that it wasn't the wrong shirt, he became slightly confused. Why would she do that on purpose? She even seemed confident in how right the decision was, going so far as to give advice for donning it. Ah... perhaps he understood the reason. "... I'm gonna make such a rule about your wardrobe when I think of something," he threatened in a huff.

At the moment, Kazuhiko wasn't managing to fix the shirt situation. He couldn't get his head through and then proceed with the arms, because he couldn't even reestablish his position without endangering the new garment. Luckily for him, Ai wasn't a total menace ─ she offered a helping hand. Well... she helped the shirt problem at least. Those fingers gliding against his skin, whether intentional or otherwise, left him visibly twitching at the groin, even through trousers with magical concealing properties. No matter; he was still on his way out of that strange state, little by little. In due time, Kazu was even making his way through the proper holes to equip the shirt. A bit of extra effort was required to finish pulling it down, however. "Gah! Arigatou. This thing's gonna make me feel like a skin-walker. You know, without the random floppy bits. I hate those things too. . ."

Kazuhiko's clothing issues, were ones which the magical world would have let him handle with ease. On Gaia however the task of dressing seemed arduous but well worth watching at least for both of the girls involved. Miko was quite serious when she mentioned that the shirt itself was the right size. She'd not made any mistakes. The shirts sold for men were modeled after the ones worn by Dreameater himself, which were form fitting to the point of looking like the kinds of things worn to work out in. In Miko's humble opinion such was mean for one with the god body and muscles of one like Kazuhiko and lo, he came to that conclusion himself but not without having a bit to aim back at the small girl. "Oh? Are you threatening us, Charlie?~" she asked as if amused, knowing full well that him making any kind of change to her wardrobe would likely only end in him being on the receiving end of her. He could make that kind of rule if he wanted to and many forms of her would agree. "I'm sure everyone would vote with me on this one~" she said feeling rather confident in her decision still.

Ah, but at the same time, Ai was willing to at least be more helpful. "Mi-tan, you're antagonizing again," she mentioned as if this was simply something she said often to the brown haired lass. "Iia, I am doing nothing but enjoying~" Miko mentioned a few more pictures being snapped as she got to view two of her favorite people in very close proximity to each other. A picture of that would be snapped for herself along with the image of that still twitching dick which her eyes had traveled to. "I don't know about feeling like a skinwalker, but it definitely fits like a second skin," she mentioned. "And no need to thank me, helping you into it, is well worth the view~" she teased with all the maturity of her accumulated years. "Hai hai, definitely worth it," Miko agreed, while wiping away a tiny bit of drool from the corner of her mouth. The man before her looked delicious and so did her female friend if she was being honest. "Now you two go out and have fun~" she assured them, moving back towards the kitchen with the rest to help Kei and then eventually retrieve her parents from the magical world.

Strangely, Miko questioned Kazuhiko's most recent threat... specifically asking if he was threatening them. Was she perhaps speaking of herself and any Avatars she possessed? He'd assume as much. Either way, his answer would remain the same. "I don't care how the vote goes; you just wait until I think something up!" he said, doubling-down on the threat. Oh, he'd find the most embarrassing ensemble and situation ever... or maybe something else? Time would tell. For now, Kazu had little choice but to adjust to this new shirt. It did look cool, if nothing else. As another possible positive, the immediate review from both Miko and Ai implied it worked for him. "Is it cool?" he wondered, rubbing the back of his head and stretching for adjustment. "Well, if it's cool... I guess it's fine. Not like it feels bad or anything. It just feels like my normal stuff without the padding and armor," he rambled.

As Charlemagne, he'd been no stranger to clothing as tight as this. On the other hand, Kazu felt like something else should have been thrown on next. More adjustment would serve him well. In the meantime, a trip to whatever things Ai wanted to see was in order. "Alright, I think I'm good to go. Ready?" he asked, ready to slip into shoes and grab the deck box he refused to leave a building without; it was basically his sword in this world.

"We'll be waiting~" Miko said in a teasing manner. It wasn't as if she feared anything that Kazuhiko or Charlemagne would do. And it wasn't like she'd done anything outside of his normal dressing requirements in choosing a shirt for him. If nothing else, it was a bit closer to the norm she knew of him and it gave her and the other girls a reason to ogle him, so she couldn't see the harm in it. "Of course it's cool! I wouldn't have picked it up if it wasn't cool. The lack of people trusting me today is outrageous," Miko said chewing her cheek and looking a little huffy. Ai for her part in this could only chuckle, "Definitely cool... " Ai admitted. As for the lack of trust, Ai could give no real advice. Miko's motivations weren't always clear, but the results were usually spot on. Kazuhiko even admitted so himself as he claimed it felt more like h is regular gear without the padding and armor, "Of course it does, there might not be a body and style I am more familiar with than yours. Extra definition not withstanding, it's flattering, the image icon keeps attention where it needs to be but also shows off height and is plain enough not to detract from your face. It's awesome!" she added still pouting.

As Kazuhiko adjusted, Ai made sure she had her own important items. Once she was certain, she headed towards the door with a smile on her face, "Yep, I'm good to go. Bai bai~" she called out. "Ja ne, have fun," Miko called as she moved back into the house. She had some things to do, including speaking with Kei and the other girls and going to retrieve her parents from the magical world. At the same time, after they left the house, Ai was content to begin walking at a casual pace, her body headed naturally towards something she knew to be in the nearby distance. "I have a Ferris wheel I am trying to ride, but anything you're interested in seeing or doing while we're out. I wouldn't wanna monopolize our date~" Ai asked as they left. She knew about a trip to the card shop, but was aware of the magical nature of Kazuhiko right now, and thus knew he'd been quite busy interacting with others of high magical quality.

According to both Miko and Ai, the shirt was cool. With that being the case, Kazu would certainly leave it in rotation; one couldn't discredit the opinion of two knockout girls in regards to a look. Miko went further, though, speaking about a lack of trust. He wasn't distrustful at all, and that would be made clear in moments. "Well of course it's cool by itself if you picked it up; you've always made awesome choices. I was just wondering if I made it look cool on me, specifically," he specified. There would be nothing but an eye aversion and bashful rubbing of his head when Miko went into further detail about the look. Ah, but there was an escape route. Both he and Ai were ready, so on that note... he'd just take his leave. "Hai hai. Ja~"

Now then, what did Ai want to experience on this outing? A Ferris Wheel, according to the young woman herself. That had become a very rare desire. Even so, it was something Kazu could appreciate. "One of those would be awesome! I haven't seen Osaka from high up yet. I'm always down to see the best sights out there," he claimed. If they were going to a Ferris Wheel, Kazu assumed an amusement park of some sort. More was on the table, though it was apparently up to him... as Ai didn't want to monopolize their date. That was just slightly unexpected. "Date, huh? I didn't think that's what this was, but I guess it checks the boxes. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu! So, what wheel are we headed to?"

Kazuhiko had something to say, claiming that he trusted Miko's choices, but was simply seeking confirmation that he made said choices look cool. It was still utterly ridiculous to the huffy Miko, who wouldn't have offered him something she didn't think he'd look good in. Still, there was something heartwarming about the idea that he thought her choices were always awesome. "There you go again, pressing buttons," she murmured softly, looking at that face of his bashfully accepting her full tirade and then quickly running off to escape. 'Hm, I suppose those sorts of reactions are always the same.' she thought absently as her two friends left on what she knew to be a date.

Speaking of the date, Ai, had the young man outside, in clothes and walking around before admitting to her purpose in pulling him outside of the house. There was the claim that he'd not seen Osaka from high up yet, and always wanted to see the best sights, Ai could only smile, "I like the attitude. Technically and honestly speaking, I am sort of a chronic homebody. Actually, that phrasing is a bit polite, Mi-tan calls me, NEET Adult Supervision, but when my friends ask or a mood strikes, I enjoy seeing something new," she admitted of herself. She was willing to take Miko at her word, about not needing to hide herself from the boy she was hanging out with. He also took well the news of her intentions of this outing, and rolled right with it. "There is a Universal Studio's nearby... and it has, a Ferris Wheel, rollercoasters and the whole, teen romance vibe, I wouldn't mind experiencing it~" she offered honestly. She'd not gone on something more traditional as a date yet, and this was a grand opportunity. With that in mind she never stopped her movements towards that place in question and would leave herself open to questions and happy conversation as they moved, such was good for their getting to know each other, which was very much something Ai preferred to a simple sexual interaction.

Kazuhiko would continue to press buttons at every opportunity; he couldn't really help himself anymore. Ah, but there was reprieve in departure. The matter of pressing Miko's buttons would have to wait for another time, as adventure awaited... on a date, apparently. Strangely enough, Kazu's long life and plentiful sexual experiences of late did not result in more than two dates... or perhaps even one and a half, as he saw things. Maybe that was a thing to fix; maybe he could get a head start right now.

On their journey, Ai purported to be very deep into the otaku lifestyle. Adventurous as he was, Kazu couldn't fully relate... but he could understand the appeal of staying indoors, dealing with one's comforts. "Eh? I can't really understand how people can do that, but I can't judge you for it either. I'm guessing you don't really get the thrill of going everywhere and seeing everything. Old folks give members of our generation too hard a time for that. I mean, you seem to have your crap together, and... if you look at it the right way, all those same things out there in the world are also right there on a screen. I still prefer seeing them in person, but I've also developed a new thing for screen stuff which... I probably shouldn't get into the details of," he said bashfully. "Anyway! Glad to be the one along when you're deciding to go out. I'll try to make it a good experience~" he added, seeming oddly determined for the simple matter of an impromptu date.

As one situation was escaped, another was unfolding. Kazuhiko was on a walking journey with Hayasaka Ai, who was going out contrary to her own usual antics. A rather refreshing conversation was being had about the nature of her shut-in tendencies. And much like Miko had mentioned, he wasn't judgmental at all, in fact he claimed he couldn't blame her for it. He thought the previous generation might have put too much emphasis on going out and doing things, and had a hypothesis which was close enough to correct. She couldn't help responding to his words kindly. "I wouldn't say I don't like going out and doing or seeing things myself. I just need a lot more recharge time than others," she explained of herself. "The truth is, I've basically had a full time job since I was eight, so whenever I get time off, I don't ever really want to do much of anything. I lay in bed, I read and write fanfictions, and I watch those videos of people putting weird items into hydraulic presses, oh and I eat apple butter out of a jar. I basically just turn my brain off, and I don't have the energy to move my body sometimes. But everyone once in a while I go out for inspiration~" she explained of herself. "And I think I little screen time as well as unwind time is pretty healthy. No need to be too shy, I know all about how those life changing isekai adventures change your worldview. I am also a tech person, if you find yourself in need of that sort of thing~" she claimed though she could be called indolent when she wasn't working that didn't mean she found any issues with her activities.

She couldn't help but find his movements interesting as well as his quick switches in conversation. He was so young and happy, and eager to hang out that it was quite different from any experience she could have normally expected. "Thank you, to be honest... I never really expected to get this far, so I'm glad you agreed to this little outing with me," she added almost playfully. "So anything about you, aside from card games, high school and seeing cool stuff?" she asked of the lad, his interests would be necessary while she figured out what kind of date they'd be having. Amusement parks were great, and given his own nature she felt like she could rely on him to indulge her strange romantic tendencies.
