There was never a question in Kazuhiko's mind as to whether he could break the machine or not. Even if the hammer failed to do so, he probably could have shattered it with his willpower alone... or some odd use of Order. Whatever the case, it was broken despite the vendor's beliefs and assumptions. Kazu recalled the man mentioning three prizes being equivalent to the number of swings paid for. Many who encountered this situation may have demanded the lot since negotiations were not completed before conditions were met. Kazuhiko, however, was not such a person. "You said three, right? In that case, I'll take that silver trinket there, the lifetime pass, and... that VR console there," he decided. Three was the perfect number. Kazu wasn't sure if the champion belt was an automatic acquisition, but none of the things he chose were for him. He'd even passed up the opportunity to acquire an expensive bike, for reasons he'd yet to explain.

All the while, Hiroshi was being succinctly decimated in a slow fashion. That leakage shouldn't have begun when it did, but there was no undoing it now. One thing he didn't expect in the aftermath of that occurrence, was the reaction to how it felt. Was that how humans in this world perceived such a paltry amount? There was always a theory about those who severely lacked mana. Some scholars believed their quantity would be lessened, some believed it would be the quality without loss of quantity. Very few scholars actually thought those types would simply lose all their reserves when ejaculating; he didn't associate with those. Whatever the case, Rita hadn't stopped any of her movements, so his hips would continue to piston as well. "You think that was the whole of it? No, that was just a little accident. I wouldn't let myself fail to extend this encounter as much as possible. You needn't worry," he said. In spite of that, something strange was noticed by Hiroshi. That mark on Rita's leg was active and more peculiar than ever. It seemed similar to a goddess's absorption of mana, but it was all being funneled toward that mark. Hiroshi's interest was growing by the moment.

A vendor was now stuck with a broken machine and he thought he was about to hemorrhage merchandise as well. Oddly enough, though, Kazuhiko asked only for a sliver trinket which was a specialty piece from a pawnshop of almost infamy, the Bonajade Exchange, a piece of technology and a pass for the park. "I... but... there..." the vendor couldn't even get out a sentence initially as they tried to make sense of their broken money maker. At the end of it all, the three items Kazuhiko wanted were far from everything he had to offer. He could get a new machine or get it fixed, and then go on about his work. Maybe, he should just use a different kind of game? "I..." there was a pause, it wasn't worth the argument. "Fine." the vendor began gathering up the items the lad had claimed he wanted and all the while, Ai was now standing next to Kazuhiko. "Hm, those are some interesting choices, I'm quite curious..." Ai mentioned. Wondering what led Kazuhiko to breaking the machine, choosing the items he did and all other odd aspects of this particular interaction.

At the same time, Hiroshi thought himself being destroyed and Rita was finding the deposit within her core to be the fruits of her labors. Ah, but apparently her thinking was untrue. He questioned if she thought that was the whole of it, and she did but given his words was forced to give it more consideration. Even as her hips continued to move she found herself receiving more information. "I... uh, yeah? It's about right for that. Maybe I'm really out of it, it has been a while..." she said thoughtfully. If there was more though, she'd definitely not been living up to her place among her friend group. "Admittedly though, if there is more... I can't say I think it'll be a problem. I'm not really ready to be done yet anyway~" she explained of her own desires. They could busy themselves like this all night, and maybe she'd get over the last half of her slow life up to this point. She was already feeling so much better. There was so much more energy in her body already and her drunken state was contributing to pure euphoria. It'd be all she could do, to continue testing the rhythm of her hips, and the arch of her back while causally checking behind her for the actions of the man currently occupying her bed.

Kazuhiko watched as the vendor struggled through a response. He didn't know what the big deal was; he was only asking for three things which weren't even major items on display. Well, perhaps the virtual reality console was among the more expensive things present... but the others were not as desirable to the regular patrons while also being obvious losses of money. Much to Kazu's satisfaction, the potential argument did not arise. "Cool," was all he said while the vendor prepared the prizes. During the wait, Ai expressed a curiosity regarding his choices. There was an answer to that, both simple and complex. "Well, the thing you wanted was easy of course. I got the VR set because you keep saying you're a shut-in, but... you also made it clear you like seeing the sights and all that. I figured you might like being able to do that without going out, and I figured if that choice wasn't good, the lifetime pass would be useful for trying again in the future until I get it right," he explained.

Hiroshi was still learning, despite his gradual loss of academic purpose. It seemed Rita truly expected such a paltry deposit of mana, or rather... semen as the humans would call it. She certainly wasn't 'out of it' or anything of the sort. It may have been a while for her, but she clearly had no understanding of what to expect. Well... he couldn't be 100% certain about that, but time would tell. Neither party wanted an ending of any sort just yet, and there wouldn't be one so long as Hiroshi retained control of himself. "There should be no cause for concern. Though... it surprises me that someone could make that happen," he admitted. Frankly, it was unbelievable. As he looked down to Rita's backside, however, everything was made incredibly clear. If Rita had just a bit more ability to work with, specifically of the magical variety, he'd be completely incapable of contending with her. Luckily for him, she'd shown no such techniques yet. He, on the other hand, decided it was a good idea to shift that mana vibration to more of a pulse wave frequency. Surely that would do no harm.

While the items won by Kazuhiko were being gathered by the vendor, Ai was going to be receiving an answer to her general curiosity. She didn't know what she expected his answer to be, but it was genuinely, surprising. The claim made, was that her own chosen item was one thing... the VR system was for her to be able to see the sights without having to leave home, an oddly fitting choice given her own habits and beyond that the lifetime pass, which would allow him to keep trying if he failed to choose something she liked. "Sou... that's all very reas..." she stopped speaking in the middle as all he said truly processed in her head. He'd gotten these things, specifically for her. They ere all based on the idea of this date and what he'd learned about her over the few hours he'd known her so far. It was thoughtful, it was sweet and it was obviously just a decision he would make. He didn't even take anything directly for himself, just the opportunity to potentially give the girl he was with a taste of happiness and the ability to keep trying if he failed. Ai felt strangely, her heart skipped an erratic beat. For a moment, it was like she wasn't even already married to someone she knew to be among the most romantic individuals this world had to offer, no... for the moment she was having a brand new experience with someone who's mind at least, counted as being within the same range as her own. And she was finding in him a genuine sense of companionship and an easy ability to see his innate care. Her hand would be found rubbing the back of her head as she looked away for a moment a blush settling against her skin. "Yeah, that's... really reasonable. Very sweet... you really didn't have to, you could have gotten something for you. It would have even been fair, ya' know?" she asked of him sheepishly. All the while she was left to wonder how Miko had managed 300 years of this kind of personality masquerading as friendship. Just the same the items were packed up for the pair of kids and they'd be sent on their way by a now downtrodden vendor.

While one learned of the mask of friendship, another was learning the oddities of humanity. Rita was almost certain that this man had reached his finished, but according to him, it'd just been a bit of leaking. It was something he claimed shouldn't have been possible, in a way which encouraged her behavior and... excited her. If she could get what she thought was a full ejaculation accidentally, what would happen when one was given with purpose. "Sou ka... admitting something like that is crazy to me. Aren't you worried I'll use it against you?" she wondered. Well, whatever the case, that change in feeling within her loins would be causing something interesting as a response. Rita had a body which had been used to following certain kinds of feelings. When a pulse wave was the sensation she felt between her legs, the movements of ehr hips became odd. Away and shaking left, back and shaking right. An extensive round of hips and cheek were now to be given as that pulse wave was ridden for maximum feeling on her own part. Just the same, with that feeling the clutching of her moistened loins were not to be ignored, nor was the sensation of skin slapping against skin. The softeness of her rear meeting a pelvis in this little dance was enough for her. She'd keep doing this until such a time as her orgasm came, but she'd be shifting her upper body a bit in the meantime forcing a deep arch as she used her arms for support.

After hearing his explanation, Ai seemed to believe Kazu's reasoning was sensible. The verbalization of that belief didn't reach its end right away, however. In the middle of her sentence, even mid-word, Ai paused and contemplated something. The end result was a gaze averted and a general bashful demeanor. He'd actually managed to make an impact with that acquisition, it seemed. She eventually raised the point that he could have gotten something for himself, but Kazu saw no purpose in that. This was a date Ai desired, and he was glad just to be along. He didn't want for much. "There's nothing I need from there. Besides, you paid our way in, and you wanted to come here. Since you invited me when you didn't have to, it's all fair in my book," he countered, beaming at the blonde. "So, next? I think I should probably avoid breaking another machine~"

Was Hiroshi worried about the likelihood of Rita abusing his admission? Well, he should have been. The sense of impending danger was only increasing every time a new decision was made by either of them. Hiroshi even wondered how long this human body of his would survive such techniques. Even with that curiosity present, Rita wasn't the only one made more excited. "Worried? What ever could you mean? Even a challenge is worth viewing through an academic lens. I welcome the opportunity to witness more," he declared. Ah, but he'd be seeing more anyway. Those pulses led to Rita taking a new approach. So much was learned by Hiroshi in this session. To be behind a woman who still took so much movement into her own hands was entirely unprecedented. Moreover, those alternating bouncing movements Rita chose were making her insides assault his cock at various angles that were difficult to predict while dealing with the monstrous physicality being applied. It was startling how much of his physical self had to be utilized just to keep stability; his mana usage wasn't helping in that regard. Even with that being the case, he made an interesting decision. "Hn─! Actually, I'm curious to see what the best of your ability looks like. It seems you're making gradual progress toward that end. What more do you have in store?" he wondered aloud while trying to stabilize himself ─ something done by thrusting forward each time Rita reversed. It seemed to work... somewhat. Using force to counteract force was such a basic thing, but Hiroshi was learning his physical capacity was likely not on par with Nara Rita's. Perhaps he'd have to bolster.

It was rare, for Ai to be left a bashful version of herself in conversation. But here she was, unable to pull herself back together after the simple words of someone like Kazuhiko and his actions which belied a truly gentle and nice nature. It was so strange for someone to be like this, in Ai's own experience the hidden agenda's and shallow actions given only a cursory thought to a goal were more normal. Even those who didn't actually approach seemed to always have something hiding in the backs of their mind, and no amount of fair-play would change what they thought they were owed. "Sou, that's how you see it," Ai murmured while looking at the lad as he beamed. He didn't need anything and thus didn't take for himself, and was simply happy to be on the invite. Such a person was going to cause so many problems among their friend group. No wonder they'd found Kei panic crying at the table, so unusual was this young man's disposition it would be difficult for any woman to not melt. As for what was next, she could think of several date things to do, but there was one in particular she thought would be pretty fun, "Hm, on the long list of potential theme park date moments, dessert then photo-booth? A few keepsakes we don't have to force for ourselves is always pretty cute~" she said knowing that dessert and a photo session were all but little gateways into that eventual endgame on the ferris wheel which was rather quickly approaching.

While two, took the long route to understanding, another pair was reaching a physical understanding of a different sort. Hiroshi had teasing words to offer Rita as she moved her own hips against him. It seemed he'd taken the route most took when physically assaulted by ass and hips, using his own as a counter balance. She found herself peeking backwards occasionally to see his face and found amusement in her own movements. "Well, I could do a lot. I haven't really had this kind of fun in a long time... " she mused gently. True enough, she'd been quite young the last time she'd thrown her body against another with no real intentions but chasing sensation. Right now her movements were reflexive, responsive even... but, that would surely be changing, especially post orgasm. Whatever the case, this was exactly what she needed, a return to her happier self, the one that existed in its own kind of bubble. And when said bubble burst, she felt, tingles spreading from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet. "Aaaaah♥~ You'll have to tell me. I assume you'll have some sort of response, one way or another~" she mused in a teasing fashion. And just the same a ramp up was occurring. Her movements were being matched, so she could force a bit more physicality. The movement of her hips became just that once more, at a much faster tempo over the course of a few moments. She moved with her own purpose, as if she didn't much care what would be happening to the man behind her. Surely he could hold his own, her movements were purely physical, as if her body was seeking contact with vigor, and she'd continue to do so. She was grinding that tingling sensation throughout her own body as if it was her intention to excite every molecule of her being.

This entire time, Kazuhiko and Ai had been slowly moving toward an eventual Ferris Wheel ride. Their pacing was nothing specific, but that mandatory ride had been in Kazu's mind all along. So long as it was Ai's intention, it would be required. What better way to address it than by making it an ending? Ah, but he wasn't sure that was the way either. It certainly had to be done while there was still time. With that in mind, he figured it would come soon, and perhaps any non-ride visits could come afterwards if the date was not yet over. Ai, however, thought now was a better time for that. She suggested dessert and a photo booth. Nothing seemed unusual about that plan, so a thumbs-up would be Kazu's immediate response. "Sounds like a great plan to me! I've been getting into photo memorabilia recently, so that's right up my alley. Let's go!" he agreed firmly.

While Kazu expressed his firm agreement, Hiroshi was soon to lose his firm stance. Rita claimed she could do a lot, and he was sure there were no falsities in her words. Danger was becoming more apparent. He may have learned with his own apprentice that an orgasm could sometimes act as a harbinger for furthered intensity, as Rita herself would prove again in mere moments. Any response she assumed he would have may have in fact been lost by the coming ramp-up. Indeed, the moment Rita offered even more physical intensity was the moment Hiroshi lost his footing so to speak. Well... more specifically, his ability to remain upright was completely lost as he was launched back by the hips. He flew back, not dislodging from Rita, but quickly reaching out in an attempt to grab something and keep stable. The end result was an accidental clawing at Rita's ass before his back struck the mattress. What would he do then? Well, his head and upper back were both hanging off the edge. His knees were bent as far as they could be, but his cock was still firmly lodged inside Rita. "Hah! Well, it is admittedly rather difficult to respond against... something so ludicrous. You're quite the skillful woman," he admitted as another of those spurts entered Rita's womb. No matter. If this would be the day of Hiroshi's ultimate defeat, it would be a victory for humanity... if Rita could be counted as such.

The pacing of their date was an odd one, and likely one Ai might eventually explain. She had a collection of fantasy scenarios she enjoyed thinking up, and had decided to experience a few. This 'theme park date' was one such scenario which she decided was easily attainable. Oddly enough she'd not scripted it, beyond simply choosing the venue and a few activities. How fun, that they'd managed to have such an interesting time already. Speaking of interests, it would appear that Kazuhiko held some interest in picture taking an dessert. He expressed it plainly leading to something of a giggle from Ai, "Hai hai, Kazu-tan~" she said in a light-hearted way. "I saw the bestie selfies... and the hickey~" she claimed as it amused. In truth, it was rather funny to her, as Miko had been previously their most innocent friend. "It's not just you though, I want a strip as a bookmark~" she claimed as they approached the nearest photo booth which was just a little ways off to several kinds of dessert so they could think over the choices while they took a few pictures. Upon reaching the booth a few hundred yen were paid for the purpose of creating 10 or so images which would be printed off in 2 five picture strips. Inside, Ai, slipped in and left enough room for Kazuhiko to do the same. A small curtain gave them a tiny bit of privacy as they decided on poses and could press the singular button in front of them to capture the image.

Meanwhile, Rita was renewing her activity levels and eventually receiving confirmation of her properly chosen actions. It would seem that much like her niece she'd eventually be taking that little spillage into her womb as a sign of success as she managed to knock over the man behind her, which was something she'd not accomplished in quite a while. A grin spread across her face as he remained within her but falling back and dangling off the edge of her bed. "Skillful huh? That is another one of those odd compliments~" she mused seemingly pleased by the words. Still, she'd at least allow him a bit of time if he wanted to right his legs, having slowed down her backward push again to give him a chance to fully view his own manhood being swallowed up by her from this new angle. She knew men to be rather visual creatures and one as observant as Hiroshi was likely no different. She'd continue on at this angle with a slightly slower pace for just a while, as that new load processed and she moaned her own happiness. She didn't know what kind of win she was taking for humanity, instead she was more focused on the wins she was taking for herself, and how much better she felt with every minor shot that filled her body. She had no conscious marker for that seal on her leg filling but knew that hse was feeling a bit more invigorated than she'd normally expect.

Kazu apparently didn't have to mention his recent photography hobby. Ai had witnessed some of the pictures that featured Miko and Kazu himself, and she'd also seen... a hickey. The day had been so busy, Kazu didn't realize whether she meant the one he'd placed on Miko, or one that had been placed on him. He even instinctually reached up to his own neck and upper chest, as if checking. "Ah─oh. Uh... what hickey?" he questioned earnestly. Whatever she meant, their plan for the immediate future was clear. Off they'd go toward a photo booth, where Ai made the first entry after paying fare. Kazu was quick to enter behind the lass. Of course he first had to deal with the sight of legs that went on for days, but he was adjusting to putting those thoughts aside rather quickly. Once in the booth, space hardly existed between the two. It was almost as if these things were made exclusively for couples, despite how often friends and family members utilized them. "Huh. I figured these were only so cramped in Romcoms," Kazu commented while sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with Ai. "You cool with a squish?" he questioned first and foremost.

Skillful was perhaps the most polite way Hiroshi could refer to Rita's ability. If he were being more truthful, he'd call it monstrous or... even demonic. There he was, on his back, halfway hanging off the bed with his knees bent farther than they ever should be. It could have been considered a position of shame, but lo... he hadn't been removed from Rita, and she hadn't stopped moving her hips despite an obvious slowing of pace. These things together created victory, even in his essential defeat. "That is one way it could be phrased, yes. Skillful... in a very dangerous, yet exciting way," he added. In trying to lift himself up, Hiroshi was further damned by something more visual. The previous angle didn't give him such a clear view of penetration, as was the case in most of his exploits to date. Now, he could both see clearly and feel with greater purpose due to Rita's slower approach. A low rumble was rising from the former elf's throat, slowly building into a moan betwixt half-parted lips. Entranced once more, he could hardly manage to do anything but reach out and cup a hand over Rita's backside as it shifted. All the while, he wondered where a human developed this physical stamina without magical aid. Surely there was something else at hand ─ something he would recognize from his home world.

Ai watched as Kazu seemd to scramble, touching places on his own body he thought a hickey might be. He'd left a very obvious one on the neck of Iino Miko but had she left one on him? It seemed he'd not considered his own form and the potential damage that could have been done. The marks of ownership that could have been left by the emotion fueled exchange between them. The grin that spread across Ai's face in that moment was devious, "What hickey? Which hickey? Those questions are quite daunting~" she said in an almost teasing manner. She couldn't help a bit of scamp-like behavior when the opportunity presented itself so readily. Those ever glowing eyes of hers perused his body as if she could see though his clothing. "I have seen or can see quite a few~" she said turning around and laying and poking his left third abdominal muscle which she knew to have a little mark. Such a poke, even thorough his clothing would cause a light tickle as two mana sources met each other physically. Along side that one, there was a different one on the right side of his hip as the muscles dipped into his pants. By her approximation there was another little one near his collarbones in front at the hollow of his neck covered by his shirt and something else rather obvious to her eyes was several sweeping marks, she knew to be left by Miko's tongue, though... Kazuhiko wasn't the only one with those kinds of magical marks left on his person, Miko seemed to mark all of her friends in such a way, but there was a rather thorough job done on Kazuhiko. Still flirting aside she made her way into the booth and he commented upon the space and then asked if she was alright with a squish. "Of course I'm alright with it. It was my idea after all. We once did this with the five of us in one of these~" she said remembering a similar trip for her and her female friends. She knew what she was getting into and smiled at the lad. "Don't worry, I won't cry if you touch me a little~" she said poking a little fun at Kei's earlier reaction, just the same she patted the seat beside her and got ready to squeeze in for the set of photos.

At the same time, Rita was finding out through trial and error that she wasn't at all as undesirable as she might have felt in the final months of her marriage. She was skillful in a dangerous and exciting way according to the man she was currently pinning to the mattress with her body. She continued her reversed position albeit at a slower pace than what had knocked him over and he seemed no worse for the activity. "You are really great for a girl's self-esteem~" she added honestly. Well, if he was boolstering how she felt about herself, her actions would continue for the sake of the equity of their endeavor. That little groan that escaped him didn't go unnoticed either. If this kind of pacing was effective she'd keep it. It was quite fun for her as well, given the size of his tool and how far he could reach with it. It'd been far too long since she had something of merit to play with in such a way... there was no need to do anything but enjoy it. So enjoy she would that hand on her rear was also interesting. A gentle encouragement, many would have chosen a firm handed slap and perhaps she would have enjoyed that too, but this had his own sort of appeal. Perhaps they'd keep going this way as she tried out that purposeful core tightening exercise once mentioned by her more physically inclined friend. She'd raise her form slowly, lower herself equivalently and then have her core muscles lend a tightening clench to her canal as she rested before starting again. And such would be the way they continued for some time yet...
