Miko was right about one thing. His motivation from a shaking ass was as much a weakness as a strength. It was something that could be abused to make him do things, but he'd argue one thing: what was the point of resisting the will of someone with a great ass to shake in his face? Yugi was a lad with reasonable morals, but he remained a selfish human at his core. His desires would always win in the end, so anything that didn't register as opposed to his natural state of being was fine. "Of course it is. Abuse it; I don't mind," he said firmly. "I will honestly tell you, do the right thing and you can talk me into just about whatever you want. Just about."

There would be three assaults on the girl called Iino Miko today. Yugi himself had been the first. That slime was the second, but there was no avoiding it due to the System's quest and their lack of inhuman abilities to deal with it. These Mosslings could easily be defeated, he figured. If nothing else, Yugi could use his new ability to cause a fire. If the moss creatures couldn't at least be dried into immobility by fire, they were conceptually screwed anyway. Ah, but what did it matter? Things seemed fine, despite Miko's complaining. "Brainface... you might actually be alright in my book. Partly," he murmured while watching vines claim Miko's body and slip beneath her clothes. Yugi even considered it a decent opportunity to try his earlier thought. He attempted to shift Miko's undergarments back into their inventory, but to no avail.

He could only transfer his own items; that was quite a shame. Either way, he imagined there were some situations that would play out quite interestingly with that ability. As for Miko and the Mosslings, Yugi was indeed content to watch. "Well, yeah. You don't think I'm gonna go get myself molested, do you? You should know what kind of 'help' I'm willing to give in this situation by now. Actually, I just tried to help. Didn't work," he claimed. "Ganbare yo!"

Miko was giving a strange bit of permission to go along with her understanding of Yugi. She'd pointed out that he'd exposed a weakness and she'd told him about it. What he had to say in response to that was surprising, he told her to, abuse it. "I mean... if you're sure. I'll take it as permission," Miko asserted. Strangely enough a Miko with permission to act a specific way was a rather dangerous kind of individual, but surely Yugi was prepared for that. He gave her all the information she needed to potentially manipulate him into all but his absolute no kinds of situations which was fine with her. She wouldn't push the envelope too much. She was already a pretty flexible person to begin with, she wouldn't force that kind of thing on anyone else.

Meanwhile, Miko was struggling, with vines rubbing against her sensitive areas, she was mostly just trying to concentrate but she also found herself wiggling against the attention. Her face reddened and her mind a bit fuzzy due to the effects of the sedative. "Oi oi, don't go making nice with Brainface!" she claimed immediately. This was the third situation in which she as assaulted by something and she'd really like a bit more freedom of movement. Whatever the case, there was a claim by Yugi that he wouldn't be getting himself molested and that he'd tried to help but failed. "Well, given you've been letting creatures turn you into the chair guy, I can see why you helping might not be the main focus here," she commented almost absently. "Still, it feels almost wrong to hurt something that's just defending itself..." she mused. "Wait no... not there!~" she squealed while squirming, such movements wouldn't be helping either. How to deal with the creatures though? There were a few options... they were mossy so they liked moisture, but it was still possible to over do such a thing, they could likely be drowned or at least wet to the point that they couldn't drop anymore pollen. Extreme temperatures were also bad for plant things, so too hot or too cold could work, if water didn't do it. Not that she currently had a direct way of making most of those things happened. They were also quiet creatures so they might actually be scared of loud noises or easily disrupted by them. "Okay might have an idea, doing a thing. Watch out," she said, knowing Yugi was watching but not having enough space she decided to call forth that water staff and begin charging a very large bubble of water.

"By all means," Yugi added to the notion of Miko's permissions. He wouldn't have made the suggestion if he meant for it to be taken any other way. Moving on though, another creature (or set of creatures) had the brunette grasped for quite the interesting turn of events. Yugi never expected to see two hentai-exclusive scenarios in the same day, but here he was looking at an amazing second scene's beginning.

According to Miko, he shouldn't be making nice with Brainface. He didn't see why under the circumstances, and would express that thought immediately. "No reason not to. Right now, he's obviously on my side," he argued. Even an angry and hateful lad like Yugi couldn't be upset about a helping hand. Beyond that, Miko was content to call Yugi 'the chair guy'. Whether that counted with monsters, plants and the like, he couldn't truly say... but to be that, he had to have a very specific connection to the girl being molested. "The chair guy? Are you trying to say I'm a cuck? For that to be the case, you must also be saying we're dating. Are we?" he asked as if led by a certain curiosity. When Miko announced 'not there' to the Mossling, Yugi perked up a bit, as if to see what she was talking about specifically. "Oi, at least move a bit; I can't tell what's happening," he complained. As for whatever idea Miko had that required warning him, Yugi didn't seem too bothered. Her growing water bubble was less important than what he was trying to see, of course. "Well it's not like you have to solve the problem immediately or anything. Maybe vines feel awesome."

Miko was told to take advantage of the lad, and she'd keep that in mind. It seemed he didn't need to be told to take advantage of her... he was literally standing around watching her get molested by creatures, using pretense to get her to shake her ass, and taking every exploitable opportunity to do something perverted. With this in mind, she could think of anything done to him at any point as fair play. He even went so far as to claim Brainface as being on his side for the moment and thus it was reason enough to make nice with him, "Grudges once established have to be held!" Miko declared but of course she would feel that way. She was the type to fully devote herself to things both positive and negative, it was part of her compulsions. Besides that, Brainface had already proven himself a questionable individual, she couldn't believe in any kindness he offered, but such was simply her nature.

While Miko struggled against vines and her own brain, a point was brought up as a counter to her argument. If Yugi was the chair guy, also known as a cuck, then they'd have to be dating. There was logic in that... she understood but it hadn't been thought of as a part of her original statement. "That's a good question..." Miko uttered initially only to make a decision on the spot. "But as I've already been trusting you with my life, body and all my old, new, and developing habits. Yes, we're dating. Well, as long as you also want that. I wouldn't force my kind of extreme on anyone," Miko muttered. She was always one to give someone and out. Even though she'd not thought about it at all, she definitely wouldn't be trapping someone with her, just because their lives were currently tied together, that would be selfish and she wasn't that type of person. Her cry of 'not there' was specifically because a vine had found itself poking at her rear hole, and the one already slipping into her canal was more of an irritation than anything else. As she continued to prepare that large water bubble, Yugi, claimed she should move a bit more so he could tell what was happening. "Really? That's the issue..." she exclaimed while shuffling just a bit, well she had to anyway to keep a grip on her staff and not lose her channeling presently. "Vines definitely don't feel awesome, it's annoying like scratching around an itch and it's all thin so it doesn't even give the full feeling. Don't reccommend but if you want to be tickled I do invite you to try it out..." she offered with minor sarcasm applied. Just the same she'd be dropping hat large waterball atop the group still holding it. Was her plan to drown them? Well, yes, or at least to overwater them and keep the pollen from spreading any further.

"Don't preach to me about grudges. I can think someone is the best person in the world for a day, but still hate them from a decade ago. Probably longer," he said in absolute honesty. Yugi's past aside, the future they were forced to share was brought into question. Would they be considered dating by the current setup? He thought it was a reasonable assumption to make, but what were Miko's thoughts on the matter? Well... she didn't have any ─ at least not before being asked. After a bit of thought however, she decided 'yes' was her answer. No, that wasn't quite right. That 'yes' seemed incredibly affirmative, but then... Miko deferred, claiming she wouldn't force herself on anyone. Such a response lacking in confidence wasn't going to get her very far. How would it fare in this situation though? "Well if you don't want to force it, I guess I should avoid whatever trouble you're keeping me from, huh? That'd probably be the smart thing~" he said flatly.

Watching the vines assault Miko, he did eventually come to realize there were two of them entering her body from below. Yugi let loose an appreciative whistle, though both he and Miko had an issue with the vines' lacking size. "Hmm, yeah. It does kinda suck if they aren't doing any damage in there. Is that why you're gonna water them?" he asked in a moment of light sarcasm, but also minor seriousness. Clearly she meant to oversaturate the moss to cripple it, or perhaps something close enough in concept. Yugi wondered if the moss being a creature would have any adverse effects on that attempt, but he'd watch nonetheless while keeping up casual banter. "You know even moss that isn't aquatic can be kept underwater for months at a time, right?" he asked. "Or is that the 'tickling' you were talking about? Because I'm tickled pink if you're trying to waterlog it to make it stop right away. Also, moss reproduces with spores. You've been breathing those in this whole time, so... you might just be giving dinner and 'dessert' to your five lovers over there~"

"Consistency is key!" Miko chirped. Well, to each their own, if he enjoyed the ability to play both sides of the fence she wouldn't envy him his ability. No, she'd simply go on about her day. Or so she thought, but there was the matter of their apparent dating life to consider. And Miko didn't think herself the type to force her oddities on another person, but oddly enough... the lad's response to that, with the flat tone and talk of avoidance hit her ears wrong. "I don't like the way that sounds. And I haven't been keeping anything from you..." she said sounding slightly huffy. Until she was confronted by this potential loss, she didn't realize it was something she felt strongly about... well, she was the type to take people at their word and take all words seriously. As such she'd already been told what to do when she felt this way, "Too bad, you already told me I could take what I wanted in our partnership. I'm taking you and you're getting all the me we know and the stuff we don't yet. And you can't complain about it!" she stated in absolution, because permission once given was absolute. And that is how Miko considered life.

Moving on from that point, she was watering the mosslings, but Yugi had some questions about that. Those vines weren't doing any damage but Miko was still pumping them with water for reasons currently unknown. "No. I don't want them to do more damage, I want them full of water..." Miko stated directly. She had a plan and it was mostly coming together as she creatures absorbed the water based on their plant-like physiology. The casual banter with Yugi could continue, but she'd need to do something soon, but not before making sure all five were properly watered. "No I mean they are literally just wiggling around but with no substance. Also... I am aware that it's hard to waterlog moss, but you can power wash it with the right presssure. I'm just going to create it inside..." she explained of herself. "Also the water on top weighs down spores, so I just didn't want them spreading more sedative once they went into panic," Miko asserted having thought about the environmental spread just a bit. Though her plan was already in motion she was actively doing things while she worked through it. "Also, you should protect your ears, it might be loud in a second~" she mused. If he covered his ears or took some sort of precaution, the girl would squirmingly take a deep breath and then with magical precision sing scales with her mana applied. The extra water pumped into the creatures would cause their bodies to vibrate rapidly inside causing massive concussive damage. It would harm their ears, and all of their soft tissues, causing bleeding and the lossening of those vines as their brains overloaded. "OOOOOooooOOOOOAAAAHHHH♫~"

"That is consistency," Yugi said in the blandest way possible. He never bothered delving into the more detailed nuances of that topic. An obvious difference between them, from his perspective, was Miko's lack of reason to be truly hateful towards another. Or... perhaps it was instead how much of said ability he had beyond reason. No matter. Regarding the status of their relationship, Yugi's dry humor brought up an answer Miko didn't like the idea of. She took his earlier words about taking what she wanted, and decided he was a thing to take. That sort of attitude did bode well for the future, unlike what she had to say about a relationship moments before. "No complaints about anything but indecision here. You're gonna have to seal the deal though. Y'know, signatures and whatnot~" he teased.

She didn't want the vines of those creatures doing more damage. That was a shame, Yugi thought. Surely if she was already getting wrecked by them, things would have gone similarly to the slime... or perhaps even farther in the direction of complacency. "Sure you don't want them doing damage. But if they were already, I get the feeling you wouldn't be trying so hard to stop them," he suggested. Moving on, it seemed the water Miko used was only a supporting factor in her overarching plan for victory. She intended to use her voice with a bit of mana to defeat the Mosslings. Such a combination of skills was not considered by most gamers; it was the sort of ingenuity he could appreciate. "Hoh? That's very Genokiller of you," the lad claimed earnestly. When told to protect his ears, Yugi instead stood arms akimbo and watched intently. "Me, miss you getting loud? Fat chance," he countered. Yugi would stand there, watching the assault and awaiting the moment Miko's voice rang out. The sound may have been jarring, but he could surely get by with only wincing and... almost ruptured eardrums. He'd definitely be in a better position than the Mosslings.

Yugi claimed his understanding of the world was consistency. Of course, Miko wasn't going to argue these points with him, it wasn't something that made much of a difference in the long run. From what she'd observed of him so far, his anger had points and logic behind them. She couldn't fault someone for expressing their emotions or for not experiencing them the same way she experienced her own. No, she'd learn what she could and figure out how to navigate his moods, such was how she undertook most things. Speaking of navigating emotions, Miko was still learning to moderate and navigate her own. She'd often told her friends they belonged to her, and now that Yugi was prodding her a bit she decided he did as well, she wasn't going to take his naysaying about it later, she'd given him an out and he'd given her... freedom. "Hmph, so you think. I'll sign alright♪~" she chirped as if this wasn't a strange enough situation for her.

What was more... there was the matter of the creatures below her. "Well, I can't be mad about things while I am having an orgasm... that isn't how people work," Miko muttered almost huffily. "Still, I'd rather focus while I can..." she mused, and the mosslings weren't a sexual focus of hers. Making a base and getting Yugi into it was her focus. Apparently there was some consideration of the choice she was making with combining her voice and the water to handle the creatures instead. A noted almost cultural phenomenon's name was mentioned at that. "Genokiller? Nah, no way... I mean it's a little unorthodox but that guy is sensational. I never have ideas that good. Definitely a fan of his though..." she said, not as words of a lack of confidence but as a show of devotion to that man. Beyond that Yugi wouldn't be missing the opportunity of her getting loud, she expected that, but still she warned him. To her surprise, the plan she'd come up with worked better than expected. The mosslings weren't just loosening their hold, they were seizing up, gripping tighter as they went into death throes, but at least the extra moisture kept the pollen from spreading as Miko fell towards the ground. "Woah woah woah!~" she mentioned trying to right herself before an inevitable fall. Just he same the creatures would be dying as they succumbed to the long term heavy concussion within their bodies caused by the noise and mana.

Miko would be signing the proverbial contract for an official relationship between them. Said signature would be nothing physical; they would both undoubtedly ensure that. What body part Miko 'signed' with was the real question here. "Looking forward to it~" Yugi concluded. Meanwhile, Miko mulled over her inability to be upset in the middle of an orgasm. He wasn't sure whether that was factual or not in the grand scheme of things, but it had certainly been the case thus far. "It could be how people work. I can't disprove it now though, so I'll agree. If it's possible... I'll probably end up doing it," he claimed.

The topic of cult phenomenon 'Genokiller' was broached lightly by Yugi. He thought to make the comment and let it go, but Miko had other plans to go along with her rejection of Yugi's comment. She was a fan of 'the Genokiller' by her own admittance, but couldn't compare himself to... that guy. The Genokiller identity had always been attributed to a single person, even though that wasn't his intention in the beginning. "If you're a fan, you should blow him... or give him a lapdance... or both. Either way, you shouldn't paint a negative picture of yourself. Genokiller was never supposed to be a singular person. In the beginning, it was meant to be more of an idea or movement ─ something for anybody with the right mentality to sign when they clear games. It just kind of ended up the way it is now," he explained before the mosslings' final moments came about. At that time, Miko would have fallen. She had no reason to catch herself though, as Yugi was moving forward to be at the ready. Both of his arms were outstretched, palm up. Depending on how she fell, he'd be aiming to catch her by either the breasts or the bottom ─ whichever soft part fell closest to his hands.

Apparently, Yugi was looking forward to a contract signing. Miko understood this for the flirt it was, knowing that both of them would likely be expecting something uniquely sexual and nothing physical at all. The way their lives were connected already, one could think it was naught but a formality, but the fun of formalities was the chosen details. "Mm-hm♪~" she chirped. But there were still other matters to deal with, like the fact that Miko didn't think it was possible for her to be upset while having an orgasm, thus backing the lad's point of not trying to free herself so diligently if the vines were doing more damage. "Well, do go too hard trying to do it or anything. I kind of like the idea of having an easy out to any upset feelings I have..." Miko mentioned, casually.

Beyond this point, apparently, Miko wasn't supposed to paint a negative picture of herself just to talk up the Genokiller. There was also a mention that she should blow him or give him a lapdance if she was a fan, weirdly enough those things didn't seem at all connected. There was also an explanation of what Genokiller was supposed to be, she'd heard something like that before. Her own name of fame had a similar kind of background along with another world renowned star. "Sou, well that implies that you know quite a bit about it... I don't think a lot of people took it that way," Miko said seeming to have forgotten quite a bit as she was falling. But soon enough she was caught, and though she'd been preparing to catch herself Yugi was able to grab her by handfuls of her own ass. "Nice save♪~" she claimed wiggling in his lap as a readout appeared. "Wait, no... hold on..." it was like her brain was catching up to all the information he'd offered while she began inspecting his head to make sure his ears hadn't been hurt too badly. "Squeee♪!~ You're the Genokiller, huh? That's pretty awesome and somehow way more believable than me being Museion," she chirped out. "Also I'll definitely do both of those things for my favorite gamer, even if me and the rest of the world misunderstood the assignment~" she commented. Before she could act on that though, loot was once more acquired.
