<Nocturnal Harmonia>

Once again, just as before, Yugi was thanked for assaulting Miko's rear. Despite how strange it was for her to do that, he'd be lying if he said it wasn't appealing. Strangeness was better from time to time. "If you're gonna thank me every time, should I take that as you wanting more?" he wondered. Whatever the answer, he was already swinging that arm to deliver another strike.

Ah, but what of Miko's body and his apparent ownership of her birthing canal? It seemed their earlier discussion on the matter did produce some positive results. Miko claimed he owned all of her holes. By then, she'd been knocked forward enough to use her hands on the floor as support. Naturally, that position allowed him to slap her ass again ─ this time from above instead. "Just holes? After I made it obvious how much of a degen I am? Well if that's all you want me for, I guess you're the one making the offer..." he said in a mockingly dejected fashion. Miko went on to raise her legs, wrapping them around his waist. He reacted by grabbing her sides and thrusting from his core. It might have even seem like Yugi intended to knock the girl's body around with his strength. Maybe he did? "Nothing to worry about. We'd both be frugal, and we'd both be getting shafted. Nothing new, right?" he teased.

Miko ended up once again thanking Yugi for hitting her on her bottom. She might have thought it odd that gratitude was what she felt upon being assaulted in such a way but it was exactly the kind of thing she should feel. Well, should he take it as a desire for more? She gave it at least a casual bit of thought but in the end she decided something very specific. "I'm a masochist Daddy, whether punishment or reward, I'll always want you to give me more and I'll always be grateful for it♪~" Miko flirted. Ah, but those words were the truth as she saw it. If she was willing to admit that she enjoyed the physical stimulation and they both already knew it, then she also liked having a thorough spanking at some point during coitus if her ass was up in the air.

From one marvelous flirt to a physical movement, Miko would find herself balanced on her hands and giving away parts of herself. If Yugi was to be stingy with stars, she supposed it would be fair to call her frugal with what she gave away of herself. "Hm, I hadn't thought about it like that. But you haven't really used much else... hands maybe?" she added to the list with a cheeky bit of snark. Perhaps that would be how she allowed him to gain anymore. With her bottom up in the air though her immediate response aftewards would be a yelp, "YIIIP♪~ THANK YOU♪~" she chirped out afterwards. Of course with her legs up and around Yugi's waist, she was now even more subject to his physicality. She'd be losing stability ever so often flying forward and having to use her legs to hold on tighter as he used his core to piston into her depths. It felt really nice, so nice in fact with the angle, tightness and increased movement, she couldn't help but feel the orgasm building in her loins. "Daddy♪ When you're this rough with me I can't help but cum all over you. You can shaft me, I don't mind♫~" she chirped out as she orgasmed and once more sprayed this man with her bodily fluids. One day she might figure out why that kept happening. For now though, he'd get to experience the massaging wetness of her loins and the constant shafting he promised.

They had long since come to an understanding of Miko's masochism, but it would come up once again as justification for her actions. Being the masochist she was, she'd continue to accept reward and punishment alike with gratitude. It seemed that would apply at virtually any time, and Yugi would certainly take advantage of it as such. "I'll keep that in mind. Everything's a reward~" he commented as their position shifted into something a bit ridiculous for human teens.

Yugi naturally wanted more than just a few holes to possess. If they were to be an item, there was an implication of things beyond sex ─ and things beyond conventional penetration. Based on their earlier interactions thus far, Miko thought to offer her hands as well. That was reasonable... but it still got her a more punctuated slap to the arse. "OK, maybe not everything is a reward," he said. Miko relished in the rough treatment though, so what could even be called a punishment besides neglect? Well, Yugi wasn't going to be shorting himself on anything. She'd let him 'shaft' her at will, so he would do just that. "Holes and hands? That's all you want to do forever? Boring~" he joked in the midst of Miko's orgasm. To break the monotony of ass-slapping, he slid his other hand around to force its thumb into her rectum, roughly pulling to one side from within. "More. Or else~" he threatened.

From far across the riverbank, a low ripple began to distort the treeline — subtle at first, like heat haze rolling off stone, but wrong in a way the world itself seemed hesitant to acknowledge. The air dimmed, the reflections on the river dulled, and a long, silvery silhouette slid between the trees without sound, bending light around its shape as though reality refused to hold it. Even with the Players tucked away inside the shell-house, wrapped up in each other and blissfully unaware, the presence crept closer, patient and deliberate. The administrator watched its slow advance with a tightening in his voice, murmuring that something old and territorial had answered the river’s disturbance... and that it was coming not with rage, but with purpose. "The phantom stirs. Drawn by the absence of its kin, it crosses the water with intent older than either of them can fathom. How unfortunate that my darling Players are occupied with pleasures instead of preparation."

Everything was a reward, that was the conclusion that Yugi came to based on Miko's words. She could agree, mostly. As far as physical things were concerned she didn't find most of them to be negative to her person. She'd taken a rough slap to the ass, plunges into her womb, even aggressive treatment of her actual asshole and being forced into positions physically. None of it discouraged her and none of it was anything she wouldn't allow to happen again. "Seems about right♪~" Miko chirped. Were there things she could consider punishments? Well, yes, but when she tried to think of something the only thing that might actually make her upset was not getting sex out of the scenario. Since sex was Yugi's main goal, it seemed that it wouldn't be possible for him to properly punish her in their current situation without also punishing himself. Caveats existed in everything though and Miko wasn't the type to completely ignore the fact that she wasn't sure how extreme the lad would be to try and punish her...

Speaking of trying to punish her, Yugi seemed to think the better of his statement. A punctuated strike to her ass, did just receive the convulsions of her core instead of anything negative in response from Miko. All because she'd only added hands to his list of acquisitions. She knew they were to be an item. She knew she should offer him more, but if this dance were to continue with them on equal footing she had to hold something. So in this case, her self was what she could hold as ransom, she'd give more of herself the more he gave her and the more he gave of himself. This was what she determined to be fair as part of their exchanges. Instead he commented on how boring it would be to only use those things forever he also stretched her rear hole, the extra sensation causing her to cry out another of those odd hentai sentences which seemed to fall from her mouth from time to time. "Daaaaddy♪~ You're being so rough, you're stretching my ass♪~" she chirped her observation. As for what he was doing there was an implied threat, what would she do with that information? Something just a little snarky and bratty. "But Daddy... how would I know what else to offer if you haven't tried to use anything else. I'm not such a degenerate that I've thought about other things you might like~" she answered his desires with a tease of her own. One might think she was actually looking for ideas, or perhaps she was using this to learn a bit more about this lad's legitimate desires sexual and otherwise. No matter what, there was something approaching them and it oddly wouldn't be something she'd naturally pick up with her enhances senses. A soundless beast wasn't something she could track of her own accord and it was far from her mind to be on high alert given they were currently within their little safe haven.

A bona fide hentai heroin ─ that was the identity Yugi would assign one Iino Miko. In spite of the sheer innocence she showed outside of their shared sexual experiences, she so frequently spewed the most potent one-liners he'd ever heard. Those words surely had no place in reality, right? Wrong. He moved that thumb within her asshole, and she commented on the rough stretching so directly. What could he do if not... more? Yugi thought the better of taking extreme approaches right away, but her 'refusal' to make additional offers deserved further 'punishment' as he saw it. True, he hadn't tried anything else with her... but why should he believe she had no ability to come up with other things? "Am I supposed to believe you? I think you just don't realize you're exactly that much of a degenerate," he argued.

To emphasize his point, Yugi decided to forego the slapping to instead force his other thumb into Miko's bum. His two digits would be pulling, each to one side as though he truly meant to spread her into a more open state. "See, I've seen what you are. I could predict an alternate future for you right now. If we fucked once and separated, given you were into it enough to disregard protection since the very beginning and even want me to fill you with cum... you'd fall right into a downward spiral. Bad End. You'd probably end up slutting yourself out halfway to Ibaraki, just looking for the next 'most satisfying fuck' you can find. You might even do that anyway. So... in short, if you're not such a degenerate... what are you instead?" he asked, grinding against the end of her womb and constantly tugging her anus two ways.

Meanwhile, the pair's unknown 'guest' drifted along the forest’s shadowed edge, its movement less a physical traversal and more a silent unfolding of presence. As it neared the river’s bend, the water grew still, reflections warping as though refusing to capture its shape. Stray motes of bioluminescent dust rose from its passing, disturbed by a force that never touched the ground. The ambient mana thinned in its wake, siphoned gently, like a tide rolling inward. Still unseen, still unheard, the creature glided toward the crude shell-built home — drawn to the sudden vacuum where six of its spectral attendants had vanished from the world.

Was Miko a hentai heroine? Maybe, she wouldn't say she ingested a lot of hentai. Not in... normal forms. She did read a bit and play her otome games, but the ero parts were just extras she was mostly there for the emotional development. Beyond this point it seemed that Yugi didn't believe she had no idea what to offer him, in fact, he punished her before even saying anything else about it. By... further stretching her rear hole. She moaned softly, "Oooha♫~ Daddy when you do it like that I really have to believe you're punishing me♪~" she stated, though the gentle twitching of her ass within his fingers said she truly didn't mind. It was such a strange sensation but it wasn't one she actually disliked. "Of course you're supposed to believe me♪~" she chirped. She wasn't lying, there she'd never given any consideration to fetishes or the like. The ones she had were developed in the moment after thinking about it a bit.

Ah, but Yugi was here to help with that. He claimed he could see her and knew what she'd have become if they'd simply had sex the way they did and separated. Her oddities spilling out in an analytical fashion. He whittled her personality down to a Bad End. One which left her searching for satisfaction, and testing varieties to try and find it. This alone was apparently enough to qualify her as a degenerate. In truth she could see that, if they'd just had the sex and nothing else odd had happened afterwards, it would have made her brain tick. It would have put new thoughts in her head which made her try and test several different variables. Her oddly attractive therapist, her musical soul mate, maybe even the bad-boy guy her Dad didn't like. She would have had to at least try them all before she made any real progress. "Bad ends are only bad if you don't like what's happening. I haven't felt something I don't like yet~" she decided in the moment. "Uuuwaah♪~ If that's how it goes it makes me a degenerate, but that doesn't mean I just have ideas..." she murmured so softly as he grinded against her womb. "Hyung♪~ I decide in a moment what kind of gratification to seek, what to do or offer even without knowing exactly how it will turn out. Do you want that Daddy? I can give you my full deviant curiosity, the parts I don't think about until they're too present for me to ignore~" she questioned him directly, while tightening and releasing her thighs to help move herself around on his cock with her random suspension. Each little shake would have him rattling around in her core. She could offer him that. While sophistry developed the pair was being stalked in the most dangerous possible way. Unable to focus some creature snuck up on them in a way neither of their senses would allow them to notice without focus.

The visitor paused at the river’s bend, a subtle ripple in the currents hinting at its awareness. Though it had not drawn close enough to strike, some imperceptible thread tugged at the air, sensing the warmth, the rhythm, the very life of the two huddled in their shell-home. The creature’s gaze—if it could be called that—glimmered through the shimmer of its semi-transparent form, acknowledging the intruders without sound, without movement. The forest itself seemed to tense, holding its breath for the moment the unseen predator would decide whether these new sparks were prey… or curiosity.

All the while, Yugi was occupying himself with an impromptu 'punishment' that seemed to hold some weight. Miko's physical reactions were positive without a doubt. As if to spit in the face of positivity however, her words opposed the natural flexes he felt in her rear and loins. In regards to the 'Bad Ends' Yugi spoke of, the brunette argued semantics that he... frankly wouldn't disagree with. He was an enjoyer of Bad Ends ─ not because of what they represented, but because of what lay hidden under the surface interpreted by most viewers/readers. In those situations, there was freedom from the monotony of normal life. Surely Miko's alternate future would be falling into that category, but that did not disprove Yugi's overarching point. She explained her methods and why nothing had come up immediately, offering her curious and experimental nature in place of something firm now. What a queer thing to do, Yugi thought. Well... oddities alone would not sway him. "I'll take it... and everything else you've got. Since you signed me up, I'll tell you: I don't play early access games with the intention of committing. You're a fun game to play, so I'll take the full release and play it to 100% completion," he vowed, taking that rattling in Miko's core to new heights. Both thumbs in her anus were used as anchors, his other fingers spread out across Miko's ass. "Look; I even went and got the custom controller already~"

If they weren't so involved in some deep debauchery, Miko might have noticed the lack of background noise surrounding them. In fact, the sudden silence would have been unnerving for her, given how acute her sense of hearing had been, even before it became magically enhanced. Still, she'd be blissfully unaware, too busy receiving reward and punishment for her senses to feel the impending threat. But... perhaps it wasn't a threat yet, there was something much more immediately pressing for her, and it had to do with Yugi and his body's movements and his coming speech.

Miko's body responded to his physical prodding, pulling at her anus and the thrusting within her womb. But her mind and something a bit deeper would be responding to his words. Her statement about Bad Ends wasn't being argued against, but what was more pressing about his speech was the idea that Yugi didn't play early access games with the intention of committing. If love and life in general for him were games, then he'd not intended to settle in. Still, he was signed up and he found her fun and as such he'd be committing. By his own words his type of commitment was deeper than maybe even he realized. Playing a game to completion was something she also did, but somehow it felt so real as a statement. "YES DADDY♫~" such a forceful bit of agreement but she had more to say. If he'd already committed to a custom controller she'd take responsibility for signing him all the way up without his consent. "Uuuummmah♫~ Since you've gone though all the trouble, I'll be your favorite game. I don't give apolo-gems though you'll have to settle for head♪~" she flirted with new understanding and shamelessness. Hand grasping her cheeks gaping her anus and even his cock thrusting against her deepest parts had the girl rolling. Her body was quite responsive to all this rough treatment and she was building another deep orgasm, her loins pulsing continuously around his cock as she waited for the greatest moment ever.

Yugi called the lass a fun game. Upon hearing that claim, Miko took an obvious interest in the clause. A firm 'yes Daddy' came from the girl who would be played to 100% completion by Yugi's own admission. She'd take things a step or two further, however. Miko didn't simply offer herself to be a game he enjoyed and thoroughly played; she offered to be his favorite game. Alas, the thing they called 'apolo-gems' to denote gachapon currency when offered as recompense for bugs, maintenance and the like, was not something she offered. He'd have to settle for head, Miko uttered. "Settle?" Yugi questioned, mockingly aghast by the suggestion. He then did something quite strange. As he'd been stretching Miko's anus and holding it open, Yugi gathered saliva in his mouth and spat into the girl's rectum. "That's a major feature! I can't settle for something that brought me to the fucking game!" he prattled. "But if we're talking gacha, I guess I gotta top up! Are you run by one of those money-grubbing developers? 'Cause I'm ready to swipe!" he announced ─ a mere innuendo for the fact that his dick was swelling nearly to the bursting point. In this case, Yugi supposed his ejaculation could easily be likened to making an in-game purchase. All the while, he remained blissfully ignorant to the goings-on outside. . .

A subtle pulse radiated from the phantom, almost imperceptible, stirring the edges of the forest and tugging at the lingering scent of the Players. Its presence pressed against the very air, a weight that did not move but was, brushing against the senses with the insistence of something ancient and patient. From its vantage in the river’s shadow, it traced the faint disturbances left by six vanished attendants, piecing together the echoes of life that now hummed faintly from within the shell-house. It did not hurry, but neither did it waver—every fiber of its being attuned to the intruders it had never met, yet already understood. And somewhere deep in that stillness, the world whispered: the phantom knew, and it was waiting.

Miko would never settle for just being fun. It wasn't enough for her to be something he liked to play. No if she was to embody something inanimate, then she'd be the one to be the best possible version of the thing. Such was her nature, to do her best. She would be his favorite game, even going on to offer something she knew he wanted as a form of currency. Such a desire was made obvious by his mocking reaction. He'd come here for the 'head' as he saw it. And it'd been one of the first things he'd commented on her being good at. As such she'd always have it on offer, because of it's mutual benefit. So what would he be doing beyond that... well oddly enough he'd be spitting into her stretched anus. Saliva ran into her in the oddest way possible. It felt strange, she should probably not enjoy being spit on in such a way, but the sensation of that slightly warm fluid running into her body wasn't something she could dislike. More twitching from her rear and a little noise escaped her lips, "Oooha♪~ Well, as long as you're engaged with the content♫~" she went along with the analogy appreciating the sensations she was being offered.

And then she felt it, the throbbing of his cock as he readied himself to explode within her. Such a thing had her throbbing in return. Was her gacha run by a money-grubbing company? Probably. She herself was an undeniable consumer of funds, and he'd be single-handedly funding her for the foreseeable future. "Yeah, definitely a hungry dev team. This is practically a subscription service. Not free to play friendly at all... but the hook and content loop are addictive♫~" she chirped playfully. "As long as you swipe and top up, it'll be the most engaging content... fully intuitive gameplay, that has a lot of different paths to follow. Worth drop you put into it♪~" she flirted. "Go ahead and top-up, Daddy♫~ There's always a bonus♪~" she said almost teasingly. Of course, if he filled her at any point, she'd definitely orgasm as well, sending vibrations directly into his cock and squeezing the life from him. Their stalker not even something which could have concerned her. No, she was far too busy enjoying their new milestone.
