<Nocturnal Harmonia>

Being called a 'filthy fuck' was sure to accomplish something on Ren's end. For Miko, she'd certainly feel the enhanced throbbing within her womb, and perhaps another small expulsion with the insult piled atop all the physical stimuli. He was well immersed, as if sex itself wasn't his sole purpose for being here. Was there anything he wouldn't put his tongue in? As if to answer that question, he made use of those wiggling toes by... dragging his tongue up to them to take the first three between his lips and lick away from within. Simply put, there was no part of a woman's body that couldn't be found by Ren's tongue. He'd lick anywhere if it provided pleasure on either end, and in fact... it was only a boon for Miko's reaction to be so extreme.

So full of jokes was Doctor Takemi Tae. Apparently she'd been working on her image for quite some time. "I'd hope so. Can't build something like that overnight," Yugi commented, having a cheeky inspection of the woman's form. His list of partners thus far was limited to two, and it seemed the third would be the greatest knockout yet from a visual perspective. Beyond that, she had something to say about Yugi's observation of himself. Perhaps he shouldn't have been thinking of his own dick in terms of damage capacity. It wasn't for everyone, but he did have reason to believe damage played a factor in the Intimacy function. "Would you rather do damage to me? We can swap notes if you want~" he flirted. Before Tae completed her pre-wash, she decided to warn him about the System's methods. Yugi needed no such thing; he didn't trust the System or its administrator. "I don't think it's weird. I think it's completely within expectation. Whoever is in charge of the System needs us for something. I haven't figured it out yet, but it's got something to do with those Gates that... can't really be an invasion of any sort. I'm keeping the plan on the backburner. There's way more important stuff I've got my eye on." As one might expect, Yugi delivered that final line during the end of his scrub, his eyes trained on Tae's backside, while she seemed highly fixated on the bath itself. "Not just gonna jump in? I can look away if you want. Probably won't though~"

Miko called Ren a 'filthy fuck' and was rewarded for her efforts. There was enhanced throbbing, and even a little more spillage into her womb. It was such a nice feeling but she'd determined that Ren needed a lot of stimulation to get where he was going. A bit of extra work wasn't hard for her to met out, even as she wrecked herself on top of him. Before anything extra could be applied on her end though, wiggling toes would soon find themselves in his mouth with his tongue playing with her toes. If there was no part of a woman that Ren wouldn't lick, then Miko would make sure he received all the extra stimulation she could give. So her ride would go and with her balancing done and toes wiggling in the mouth of Ren. Miko reached down, she'd busy her hands with squeezing and pulling on his testicles but also massaging them periodically. "OOooh!♪~ I'm going to end up bugging you all the time you keep doing this to me♪~" she commented.

Takemi Tae had spent years, building her current image. It was good to know that the time and effort of presentation wasn't lost. Actually, that was part of what made Yugi interesting to her, not that she gave it much active thought. Between being a point of curiosity and understanding her joking nature she found herself amused while spending time with him. Speaking of amusing he was willing to take the idea of being damaged instead of doing damage in her case. "I'll consider it.. but I am a doctor I shouldn't be damaging patients," she expressed. Moving on from that point she'd warned the lad against the free gifts of the System but apparently she didn't need to. As she cleaned herself up she learned that the boy had managed to work through a few aspects of such a line of thought himself. "Sou ka, it's my medical opinion that all that extra swelling happens because of the extra blood flow your brain needs randomly choosing a different place to go~" she joked with an eye roll. "Iia, no jumping in hot water, just going to ease on in... I suppose it'd be a good use of your eyes to watch~" she claimed as she walked to the edge of the tub and then sank ever so slowly into the water. At that time Tae's body was relaxing as if her entire soul was unraveling as she sank into the perfect temperature of water. In truth, she might have had sex with this boy just because she now had this tub... that was probably an extreme thought.

Ren could be called a massive pervert. He could be called degenerate, filthy and insatiable. He could also be called... a man who knew how to enjoy himself thoroughly while also opening several pathways for his partner of choice. He felt Miko's toes moving around between his lips, against his tongue, nails occasionally scraping the roof of his mouth. He relished in it and lavished those digits as if there were several tastes to be found underneath, between and so on. At the same time, he was further motivated by having Miko applying a hand to his balls again, adeptly alternating roughness and soothing. She'd keep bugging him if he kept it up, apparently. Well... it only made things better if he wasn't the only one being a bother in the future. "Mrph!" he mumbled around the girl's toes. It was part an attempted verbal agreement, part a groan signaling what would come with the ensuing upward thrust: a pause followed by a strong surge into Miko's womb. Ren's eyes were even rolling back at the time, which paired quite well with something new from the System...

At that time, Tae was arguing that a doctor shouldn't damage patients. Yugi scoffed. There were simple logical loopholes to most things, and this was no exception. "Am I a patient? I thought I was your little guinea pig," he said, not willing to let that moniker go at all. When the topic shifted to the System and its potential dangers, Yugi's thought process had Tae making another joke about his 'swelling' issue. According to her, the cause may have been excess blood flow from what his brain normally took. "Did you consider the magical side? Maybe you've got a dick magnet power that's extra strong against me?" he posited, dumping a bucket of water over himself to rinse. Even as that water cascaded over Yugi's head, his eyes remained open, looking through the flow to watch Tae descend into the bath. He could see her body losing tension rapidly the lower she went ─ particularly in her back by the time buoyancy took hold of her breasts. "So the Hunter thing doesn't help big-boob back pain, huh?" he wondered casually, finally rising from the stool himself.

Ren and Miko were coming to an understanding. Their bodies pushing further and further towards the ultimate bliss. Miko couldn't even call herself worried about the placement of that foot of hers, as the lad seemed to be enjoying himself so much. Every wiggle of her toes was met by extra movement within his mouth, surely such a thing was one of personal enjoyment, and how was she to get in the way. Just the same, she'd was coming to understand his body a bit better and the kind of indulgence, filthy though it was and she was willing to go with him into those depths. Soon enough he was reaching the ultimate climax his body gushing its fluids into Miko's. And in turn Miko was suffering an orgasm as well, coming to a slamming halt on his cock as her body milked his. "FUCK YES RENNY♪~ FILL UP THIS SLUTTY PUSSSY WHILE I CUM ALL OVER YOU♪!~" And then it happened, a notification of the System that Miko read. And in just a few hours a proper concubine appeared for her. "Suuuuuuuugei♫~" she chirped happily. She looked down at Ren with his eyes rolled up and his body super tense and she smiled. It was such a nice thing to see and with the announcement she saw from the System she knew he'd be in it for a while. She didn't worry about him potentially keeping her secret and in the afterglow simply relaxed against him moving her foot from his mouth so she could actually speak if he so desired.

At the same time, Yugi and Tae were moving towards a more intimate kind of sharing. The lad seemed content with his diminutive nickname, enough that he'd call himself to that in order to get the 'hurtful' treatment that one like Tae thought was unbecoming of their Doctor/Patient relationship. "Well, if you like it so much I won't argue~" she claimed holding her hands up in mock surrender. Still there was the issue of his swelling and she could only shake her head. "Iia, pre-existing condition remember. Can't just be me... though I suppose it's possible to exacerbate such an issue," she said giving all due respect to the pretense they'd decided upon. Until she was sinking into the bath feeling all the stress of the weight being lifted off her shoulders. She sighed as the heat made it up to her spine and her breast touched the water, the relaxation literally came with a gentle almost moaning exhaling. "Whew~" she sighed as she enjoyed the heat. The ever moving brain of Yugi though, caught on rather quickly. "Iia, Hunter bodies don't make much of a difference. There are a few who don't seem to have as much of an issue, but they have a different kind of muscle density, better posture, and don't spend all day hunched over a desk or workbench, from my observations. Those who have always been well endowed will still suffer as far as I've been able to tell," she mused. "Still, deep tub soaks are amazingly helpful~" she explained.

Ren needed a moment or three to recover. His ejaculation was longer-lasting than normal. For its duration, he couldn't see straight. The outburst of Miko didn't help put an end to his... ascension, as some might call it. It couldn't be anything else, really. That may have even caused an extra few seconds of flow before Ren's eyes fluttered back to normal. "Guh!" he uttered once Miko's toes evacuated his open mouth. Ren's tongue dangled slightly, but more importantly... there was something between himself and Miko: a screen like that of a video game.

Ren paused to look at that screen. He'd never seen anything like it... but it had his name. As if this session wasn't otherworldly enough already, throwing random things that looked like nanobot infusion-based interfaces was a bit crazy. "... There's a thing in front of me."

Meanwhile, Yugi was making his way toward the water's edge, preparing to join Tae in the bath. She now understood that the deviant lad had a proper interest in titles like she'd given him earlier. Coming from someone with her general demeanor, he couldn't find a single qualm. Yugi squatted, reaching down to touch the water with his hand while Tae reiterated the preexisting nature of his 'condition' as they were calling it. "Oh yeah? If you say so, but that means you exacerbated the absolute fuck out of it," he declared. In a matter of moments, Yugi was stepping down into the bath with a bit less care than Tae exemplified moments before. He approached entry with the same casualness one would expect of a person descending stairs, until he sat right next to the doctor. Regarding the back problems of well-endowed women even after becoming Hunters, he considered it a weakness of the Hunter system as a whole. "Weak. What's the point of magic hax if everyday problems are gonna keep existing?" he asked as a complaint toward the universe.

Miko would receive for her efforts a great expulsion that lasted long enough to have her breathing contentedly afterwards. Her heart was pounding but she easily relaxed, pulling her legs in as she continued to casually sit on Ren's dick with it buried within her person. She did intend to extricate herself, but it would be a little while for that, "Worth it♪~" she sang happily. Ah but it wasn't just that, as Ren recovered he claimed that there was something in front of him. "Oh? I assume it says something like 'System Notification'... I didn't know you'd get one too. Did you get perks or a title?" she wondered. Making it obvious that she knew a bit about it, even if it wasn't the ones she was getting herself. Though if certain thresholds revealed things to the targets, then she should likely be a bit careful about how she went about this sort of thing and be prepared to be honest with those she took this kind of step with. Fifty percent was apparently a doozy, but Miko had yet to figure out how much of one.

At the same time, Yugi was making his way towards the tub. All the while, Tae was relaxing in the warm water and soaking in the muscle relaxing heat. Apparently, Tae had exacerbated his condition quite a bit with her mere existence, according to the lad and she could only chuckle. "Oh no, how could I?" she asked sarcastically. Just the same her head leaned back and allowed her eyes to mostly close, but not so much she could see the boy make his rather casual descent into the water. After he was seated near her, her eyes closed all the way and she exhaled her content. Of course, there was quite a bit unfair about their current life situation. Tae did have an opinion based on her own observations and her own medical experience. "If you ask the eggheads, it's an evolutionary problem. Something that will likely disappear in the next generation. The first ones with the adaptations are always stuck with a mix of the old and the new," she offered. "In my own opinion I'll chalk it up to a pre-existing condition. It could change on an individual basis. But we won't see world wide change until the birth of the next generation," she gave her opinion as a medical profession and scientist, but the smirked. "Still, magic could work a bit better for us. I guess we should be happy we're seeing any real biological changes at all," she mused. Knowing that things like trips to the toilet were down by quite an unreasonable amount.

Worth it, Miko asserted. Ren could do naught but agree with everything he had. If he had to put that recent experience against anything else, he'd have to say it was an easy choice to make ─ possibly the easiest ever. What was this questionable aftermath though? Something was calling him a Shadow Concubine, mentioning an Inventory node and all manner of things he couldn't fathom. When Miko spoke on the matter, she made it seem like she knew what was going on. She even asked if he'd been given perks or some sort of title. "Eto... Shadow Concubine? And there's something about an inventory, item transfer and... some kind of equipment compatibility?" he shared, both breathless and confused. "You know something about it?" he asked with every assumption that Miko was directly involved.

Speaking of involvement, Takemi Tae would be taking every bit of blame Yugi could possibly hand her for his erection. How could she? She asked sarcastically, and Yugi snickered. "That's right, I'm onto you. All part of your sick, twisted experiments. Joke's on you; you can experiment on me whenever you want!" he joked right along. Beyond the banter, Yugi was finding satisfaction in his new physical stature. Specifically, he was enjoying the fact that from a certain sitting angle, his dickhead wasn't even fully submerged in the water. He was definitely going to do some damage with it. "People always want to blame evolution and shit like that for everything they can. I don't disagree this time, but I wonder if the whole 'next generation' thing is even likely to happen. My thoughts on the whole Gate situation keep leaning in one direction. I'll figure it out eventually," he claimed. Following that, his gaze was shifting in Tae's direction again. "I've been wondering if the System can't do something about shit like that for people like you. Like, what happens after 100%? Will you start getting levels, or something else? It can't be like a game where 100% is the definite end. No... there's some sort of overcap, I'm sure. Think you'll be able to find out?" Yugi wondered of the doctor who currently tied for his lowest Intimacy rating.

Miko and Ren could rest in the afterglow both of them thinking their decisions were worthwhile as undertakings. Still there was the matter of the System pop up the young man had received as he finished up most recently. "Status," Miko opened up her own widow to check their progress as well as see what kind of changes she had going on. "Squee♪~ 50 percent is a good place to be. Males are concubines too? That's good, seems to be pretty fair. I was a bit worried about it before," she mused about the System itself. As for the other things he mentioned Miko grinned. "I can hand you things I get from the System now, like my phone for instance. I could even get you one too♪~" she sang as she relaxed. "I know a bit about it. It's one of the actual secrets surrounding me. Me and my partner are still figuring it all out. But it connected the two of us, a year ago from your perspective. It seems to work on RPG and Otome game mechanics, so... we're trying to get stronger and we're working on building a Harem!♪~ Well, each of us is building one since the System doesn't acknowledge girl on girl stuff for some reason. I tested that out earlier today," she said in a simplified fashion. "Basically, it's why I don't really know a lot about Gates, but I have magical abilities, also I'll get stronger, and you can too maybe, we're still testing that part. And now you're getting bonuses too. So, if you don't mind keeping the secret and you're interested in cool extra magical stuff, you can be part of how we figure it out. And stick with us... you'll eventually get your own room in what I assume will be a harem mansion or something like that~" Miko explained gently. She wondered if this pitch would actually sit well with the lad. "Woops, that was probably a lot, I ramble when I get worked up. I'll answer any questions you have though..." Miko offered freely as she could. She even came to rest against his chest, one hand gently playing in his hair while she spoke.

Meanwhile, Tae was apparently taking blame for all the freaky experiments she was doing to Yugi. The joke was apparently on her, as she could experiment on him whenever she wanted. "I would hope so, considering you basically beat down my door to throw yourself at my experiments~" Tae said with outright sarcasm. Still no matter what the lad was thinking. His thoughts about the next generation and how the world worked were far beyond his own time. Even as his dick head floated up above the water, Tae couldn't help herself. "You know you don't have to think about and fix the entire world, that's unreasonable... even if you can," she added wondering how someone started thinking about things like that and went so far with them. Moving on from that he point the lad pointed out that he wondered about System overcapping and reaching 100 percent intimacy with someone. He posited it to her as a question, would she be able to find out. "Well, I have no reason not to try... curiosity and all that..." she mused as the tension in her back finally disappeared. Still... she leaned back and let her toes float up to the water's surface and she saw her black painted toes.

Ren should have better prepared himself for the tangents of Miko. He was already confused, but the information dump she gave after commenting on the fairness of male concubines was... a lot to take in. In a matter of moments, Ren was taken back to the amount of shock he felt when the Gates first appeared. Everything she said was overwhelming information. Whatever this System was, Ren was glad he hadn't been there when it started. "I uh..." He was speechless initially. It would take Ren a minute to grasp the concept of the System, Miko and her partner having some ability to grow stronger and involve others through collecting a harem, and... everything really. Luckily for Ren, he'd played his fair share of otome games ─ though of course they were of the perverted variety. By the time Miko was resting against his chest and acknowledging how massive that information dump was, Ren was just about ready to speak. "So wait... you and your boyfriend get harem powerups?" Yes... of all the questions he could ask, Amamiya Ren only wanted that singular bit of clarification.

In the meantime, Tae was acknowledging how Yugi approached her recently. He did beat down her door just to throw himself inside, but he wouldn't say it was for the sole purpose of her experiments. No, that was just the first half. "Gotta correct you there. I beat down your door for the experiments, but the throwing myself part is more about... well, this," he specified, bringing attention to his erection. Moving on, the doctor stressed that he didn't have to think his way through fixing the whole world, even if such a thing could be done. For once, he wholly disagreed with the woman. "I'd argue that thinking any other way would be counterproductive to progressing as a society... but to be honest, I don't care about any of that. I want an awesome life. I want my sister to make it and find out what can be awesome in her life. That list is growing slowly, but I already believe that if I can do it for just the few people I care about, I'll change the whole planet. If you would ask why... it's a chain reaction. I want my best life, which requires someone else not suffering. What if them not suffering requires someone else not suffering? You see where I'm going here... so yeah, I do have to think about fixing the entire world. I can't trust someone else to do it," he rambled. Always quick to move from serious matters to something else, Yugi brought up the progression of Bondmates and his hypothesis about their endgame. Tae expressed an interest in shooting for 100% and beyond, blaming her previously mentioned curiosity while Yugi watched how lackadaisical she seemed in the bath ─ feet erupting from the water's surface and all. "Well, you're at 25%. 50 is the highest I've seen thus far. That'll get you full Inventory access, a key to your room that can't exist yet, and... some other shit we haven't seen yet. So, what's the plan gonna be? I'm the guinea pig after all. Name your experiment♥~"

Miko fully realized she'd dumped quite a bit of information on the young man whose dick she was still occupying. So, she only thought it fair to give him time to process and see how it would work for his understanding. He was young enough and depraved enough, she was sure he'd played his share of ero-games. With that in mind what she'd said should have been quite easy to follow after getting over the shock of it all. When she left him to ask questions he was quiet for a full minute before he came up with something, what he asked gave her pause. "Hai... we're pretty sure about that one. Actually, a few minutes ago I got a title for fucking you that seems to have some of the best general buffs I've seen so far. Not sure what else it has going yet though... we've only been testing it for today. Is that all you need to know?" Miko explained, what she and her boyfriend currently understood about the way this whole thing worked.

At the same time, Tae was being told the minor distinction between the lad's actions. Why he'd come to her clinic and why he'd tossed himself at her, were gently related but not exactly aligned. "Very clear distinction..." she mused in that joking way. What wasn't really a joke was what followed. The lad expressed a line of thinking which said he didn't trust anyone else to do what was truly right. And also expressed that he was doing the things he was, for the sake of people he already liked. His stance wasn't moral or ethical, but he also wasn't terrorizing the world. "Sou ka... a psychiatrist would have a field day with you... even though you couldn't be diagnosed properly for a few years yet~" she said. "Still, that's a pretty wholesome thing to do, the rest of your motivations aren't mine to judge," she decided her hands up in mock surrender. Soon after she was learning the depths of this System as it currently existed. He'd only seen up to a fifty percent intimacy but knew some of the perks it came with... "Sou ka, I assume the unlock conditions are something you know then. Let's do some experimenting then," she said as she shifted in the water. She'd casually pull herself up onto the edge of that soaking tub finding herself comfortable against warm rocks. She'd be seen casually opening her legs and pointing to a cleanly waxed set of loins and pointing. "Time to take your medicine, I can't actually have you doing damage to me," she claimed as if bored. An adult woman with sexual experience had certain expectations. Even if she believed this lad was potentially better than the rest, she definitely wouldn't be changing precedents for herself or any other girl in his life.
