Gamblers were to be hooked, addicted to the act of gambling. However, as a seasoned gambler himself, Hiruko knew the deeper secret. "Yeah, it is. And I'm taking all your chips," Hiruko stated. His trick was more akin to that of a slot machine. Miko had been able to call his bluff previously, but one couldn't pay out every time. No, this one would be a roll of seven... then seven... and then, just at the end, cherries. That single moment of nearly hitting a jackpot was the bane of many gamblers. Miko wasn't going anywhere. No, she'd immediately be putting more money in the machine... or rather, ejecting her tongue to have it inserted into Hiruko's mouth. Playfully, he lashed out against Miko's protruding tongue with his own. After doing so, Hiruko's mouth opened and took her tongue inward before his stroked it repeatedly.

Another series of strokes was being delivered in that moment. Apart from the stroking of a tongue, of folds and of walls, there was the stroke of a pen by one Akaba Reiji in the card shop. He was just about finished with his closing duties, and the seconds toward that final moment were ticking down quickly. "Sales were high today. You've been very good for my business, Tohsaka-chan. Arigatou," he commented upon completing a brief review of the day's income. As for his ability to answer any of her questions, Reiji was asked about a common phrase in the strangest way. He looked toward Sakura with a raised brow. It was odd that she wasn't familiar with the phrase, but he supposed there were weirder things out there. "It's just a saying. All I mean is, don't take my words as gospel in most cases. That's all," he affirmed. As the final seconds ticked, Reiji reached under the counter to acquire cases of the new trading card set. Apart from Sakura's purchase, he would need them displayed there for the next day anyway. "Alright. I may as well grab what you need now. Only one case?"

[Apollymi]

The act of gambling wasn't something that Miko participated in, a random gacha not withstanding. Even so, she seemed to be quite caught up in what Hiruko had to offer, that tongue he'd demanded was provided. And even though she pointed out the part about hooking a gambler he claimed to be taking all her chips. A pleased little sigh left her lips, perhaps she'd figure out exactly what that meant a bit later. He playfully teased it with his own before allowing her to find her new home within his mouth. Her moans would only travel into him in this manner as their tongues moved against each other. He really was tasty, and this was a strange way to kiss considering they'd not done it before this moment. 'I really am a slut.' she thought. But as she tasted that light flavor in Hiruko's mouth and felt him nudging though her body even more as she moved her hips back against his thrusts she decided something. 'Worth it♪~' she sang in her mind. Yes, she couldn't have explained her enjoyment of this, but this man was definitely worth experiencing.

Meanwhile, pen strokes were being heard and witnessed by Sakura. She watched Reiji dutifully work on his paperwork seeming to think she was at least responsible in some way for an increase in sales. "Do I really help? I don't know if just showing up is enough to grant me thanks," she claimed seeming to think it some sort of oddity. She'd done nothing directly to help, she'd not even managed to go back and tell her other friends about the shop. Moving on the first of her questions would be about something which was apparently a saying which should mean that his words while true to his experience may not ring true for all of them. "Sou ka... I miss a lot of those. Arigatou," she offered happy to now understand something else distinctly human a bit better. "I suppose it is only one case, depending on the price of the cards I want. I would take two if it were possible but I only have 25,000 yen left to spend." she said honestly. In truth she would have gotten two cases and her cards, that would make her happy, she could then have a box for both Kazuhiko and Angelica and given her understanding of card printing she figured that would be closer to a guarantee of newer core decks being created.

[Bloodedge]

Hiruko seemed content to consume Miko's tongue and lavish it with his own. One could easily believe it was his intention to thrash against every part of her he possibly could, and lo... he wasn't nearly done yet. Intensity had yet to truly be added to their session, but there was a notable, gradual increase. In fact, one of Hiruko's hands eventually abandoned Miko's neck and face. That hand glided up to her head, where fingers proceeded to interlace with brown locks. He grasped tightly near the roots, pulling Miko's head away before attacking her lips again, just briefly. All the while, his hips were pumping against her rear, roughly slamming and loosely retracting ─ almost the way one would pull the lever of that slot machine. "I was thinking, Kocchi... I don't often get to go at it like this. You're really my lucky charm. Come with me to the casino?" he wondered for the future.

Sakura wondered if she actually helped business. Whether she believed it or not, the numbers didn't lie ─ and neither did what Reiji saw these past two days. "Of course you do. You're an attractive young girl in a card shop. You being here has made some of the boys want to show up more, which means more things are being sold. I think some of them have even been working on their decks more, hoping a better winning record would get your attention... though that's just my personal opinion," Reiji explained. It didn't take much time at all to set up a few displays of cases. Sakura wanted one case, or perhaps two... with a budget of 25,000 yen. Reiji quirked a brow, smiled, and adjusted his glasses. "The standard price of a case is 7,840 yen. With your special rate, it would only be 5,400 for a single case. With that sort of budget, you could almost buy half a box set," he explained while removing a single case from the box.

[Apollymi]

A certain orgasm had already been reached and now another was being built towards. Miko found her mouth being explored and was exploring another. Ah, but such a low intensity meeting wasn't going to be continuing for long. The hand on her neck moved eventually and would be found entangled in her hair. She'd not felt this in such a way before, that tugging against her roots sent shivers up and down her spine. The heat spread from her scalp down to her loins. She felt tightening in all parts of her body, nipples, core and even her womb quivered just a bit. "Mmaaah♥♫!~" she moaned her happiness He had her lips kissing her again for just a moment while his body moved hers in such a unique way. That pattern of slamming and loosening was something she found herself matching while moaning her happiness. "I wouldn't... mind. Granted, I am not old enough to get in a casino and I'd need a bit of warning. I'd definitely be excited to spend more time in your company, Hiru-nii♫~" Miko agreed and she would easily do so. Well, aside from school, other world magical lessons and her friends adventures.

At the same time, Sakura would be receiving more of an explanation from the man who ran the card shop. According to Reiji, having a pretty girl in the store encouraged the boys to shop more and show off. "Sou ka... I think I understand," Sakura murmured. 'Physically inadequate boys and men try to assert themselves through alternate means, like card games. Might be an alternative to violence. I don't think I like it... given that it allows for the potentially inadequate to feel accomplished.' she thought. Still, it seemed like Sakura would be moving on to the next part of her transaction. After explaining her budget for this it seemed that Reiji was still willing to make her an interesting deal. "Sou ka, if that is the kind of cost, then I'll buy two cases. Then I'll have a present for each of them!~" she claimed happily, she was actually quite pleased. She was going to give something of a wedding present away today, as part of her believing wholeheartedly in Kazuhiko's ability to save their significant other.

[Bloodedge]

Miko wasn't old enough to enter a casino, but that was perfectly fine. She looked the part of a short 20-year old, and even if it became an issue, he could easily handle it. "That's fine. I can get you in," he said. Hiruko fully intended to take Miko along with him on the next casino trip. In fact, one had been opened in Osaka semi-recently, and he intended to pay it a visit. Miko would do well for the energy at a table, he thought. Whenever that meeting happened would be a time for the ages, but for now... Hiruko had work to do on Miko's body. In putting forth that effort, he may have begun doing a bit much... as one particularly rough thrust resulted in the couch tilting back, and he still didn't stop ramming into her. Luckily, that grip on Miko's hair would keep her from going face-first into the floor as the couch fell ─ and luckily, Hiruko was immersed enough in their activities to keep thrusting even through the fall. A bit of adjustment was necessary to retain balance, but... "Woah! Guess I'm paying for that~" was all the care he offered about the furniture.

Sakura decided to purchase two cases instead of one. The most interesting fact within that decision, was her intention to give them both as gifts to someone. Reiji became curious. She didn't want one for herself. That sort of earnest, wholesome thing warmed the older male's heart. He grabbed a second case, stacking it atop the first... then grabbed a third to place atop the second. "You're purchasing two cases before release day to give both away? That's very honorable of you, Tohsaka-chan. Here; have a third on me," he insisted. Just then, he gathered a full playset of the card she'd expressed interest in earlier this day. Those three were placed atop the cases as well. "Two cases, and one playset for... nothing currently. If you're lucky enough to get any from your pulls, just bring them back to me. If not, we can talk about the price later," he said. By this decision, Reiji would secure a return once more. "After tax, I'll round that down to 11,000 yen. Anything else?"

[Apollymi]

Apparently, it was no problem getting Miko into a casino. If that was the case, she'd definitely accompany him. "Hai hai, then I'll definitely go~" she claimed happily. The truth of the matter was, Miko likely would have accompanied Hiruko anywhere after discovering his ability to please her sexually. He had good energy and she felt good about agreeing to his request for her to accompany him, even if she didn't see herself as a lucky charm. Regardless, Hiruko seemed to be exerting quite a bit of effort onto Miko's body and Miko for her part in this was enjoying it. Right up until the point that the couch collapsed from the extra exertion. Her eyes widened in surprise as they lost altitude quickly only for her hair to still be pulled and her loins still thrusted into. A moment of excitement had her heart racing fast and her pulse speeding up. The shocking shift sent a shiver through her entire body and had her moaning oddly enough. "Eeeep♫♥!~" she squealed as something interesting happened. "That was exciting, though you'll definitely have to pay for that♪!~" she sang as if pleased. "Does that happen often?" she asked wondering of the man she was currently having sex with simply didn't know his own strength, unlikely though that was given his general sketchy behavior. Ah, but that didn't matter either as after a small adjustment the girl found herself pulsing with an orgasm that had her singing her pleasure into the air.

Meanwhile, Sakura was busy having a very interesting time speaking with Reiji. Much like earlier she'd fallen quite deeply into having a normal conversation with him. So much so, that she'd all but forgotten that she'd wanted to do something very specific in aiming to speak with him. "Is that honorable? I just want them to have it... and to have fun," she said seeming not to understand the point. But what she did understand was that she was being given another case for free. According to Reiji he'd be fine with letting her have the playset of the card she wanted, and she could give them back if she happened to get enough of the cards on her own. "Sou ka. That is a really nice deal. Arigatou Gouzaimasu, Reiji-san..." she decided that this man was truly earnest about wanting her to enjoy the game. She took out the 11,000 yen he needed and put them on the tray for him while smiling at him. When he asked if there would be anything else, she figured she might as well get back to the original purpose of their deal. "Would you be interested in having sex with me Reiji-san? I have a really good feeling about it~" she said in a manner which would almost seem light hearted but she was very serious and she was still leaning on the counter of his shop having popped a couple of buttons on her shirt to allow him to see down into it. Now that she had his undivided attention she figured it would be easy to figure out where he was looking and how to get his attention.

[Bloodedge]

Since Miko agreed to accompany him to a casino, Hiruko considered the proper timing. Actually, he didn't have anything to do quite soon ─ that could happen sooner rather than later. The rate they were going said this room wouldn't survive too much longer; why not destroy another place after winning a few thousand? "Why not tonight then? There's a casino I meant to check out here in Osaka," he suggested. Regarding the hotel room that certainly wouldn't last the full night, Hiruko doubted it was worth continuing in a broken venue. Miko asked if something like the busted couch happened often. Did it? Well... "Not really. I don't get to let loose often," he claimed. In that same moment, Hiruko hooked one arm around Miko's midriff, pulling with that forearm while also tugging her hair with greater purpose. He'd lean back, pulling Miko into him to a more vertical position. Doing so would result in a different angle within her folds ─ one that seemed to stretch her canal toward the front. "But it sounds like you like it. Am I right?~"

Reiji nodded to Sakura's initial question. It was a very honorable thing she did, choosing others before herself. He wasn't going to let her be the only one of a trio not having a better experience. She was such a beacon of hope for greater enjoyment of this card game. If Reiji had his way, she'd have access to every source of fun while playing. With that in mind, he took the tray carrying her payment, storing that money for the next day's sales calculations. "Goaikoiitadaki arigatou gozaimasu. I'll just make a note of this," he said while inserting the necessary information into his system. As he did so, Sakura presented the oddest question... about having sex with her. Immediately taken aback, Reiji looked away from his computer to see the girl leaned over the counter, cleavage on display more so than it was previously. He sighed, averting his gaze toward the monitor once more. Sakura was an entirely different level of attractive for any woman, but... "Tohsaka-chan. It's in bad taste to make jokes like that. I know I said you were an attractive young woman, but not everyone who says those things intends to sleep with you."

[Apollymi]

Miko and Hiruko were busy being wrapped up in each other, but it seemed that Hiruko was interested in having an extension to their night by hitting up a casino with Miko at his side. Miko quite enjoyed that idea, though she did have at least one other thought to go along with it. "I am free for the night," she admitted freely still there was something else weighing on her brain. "Could I potentially interest you in a plus one?" she asked, ahead of alerting Kaguya to a potential change in her night plans. Beyond this, apparently wrecking rooms didn't happen too often for Hiruko which was good to know, and Miko got to feel good knowing that the man felt comfortable enough to throw himself in with her. Speaking of throwing himself in with her... he was pulling on her hair and shifting her angle just a bit. She was brought into a more upright positioning as he continued to ream her from the other end. "I like a little excitement!~" Miko said honestly. She definitely at the very least liked him, as even with the change in her position she was still clinging to his cock and shaking her hips continuously.

In the meantime Sakura was being thanked for her purchase as Reiji seemed to be quite pleased about her purchase. "Hai hai," she chimed at the man as he claimed he was going to take note of the transaction they'd just qualified. Moving on from that, Sakura had remembered what she was intending and went back to it. Only to discover an interesting turn of events. Reiji seemed to be despondent. Moreover he seemed to claim her words a joke even if they weren't and noted that not everyone who thought she was attracted wanted to sleep with her. "Oh? I didn't think that came off as joking. I am definitely not... I do actually want to have sex with you. And the only people who don't seem truly open to sexual endeavors with me are women," she said. This was the truth given her own day. Perhaps there was a better way to go about this. She gave mild consideration to re-experiencing this moment but perhaps she needed to hear him out. "Any particular reason that doesn't just work for you?" she asked earnestly. Human behavior was so odd. It was difficult to understand why different humans responded differently to the same stimuli. Even while knowing everyone was different her success rate wasn't truly being challenged. She could simply do this over until she figured out how to get the results she wanted, since it was a controllable environment.

[Bloodedge]

Miko was free for the night, and so was Hiruko. So long as that was the case, a casino trip seemed in the cards for both of them. Hiruko liked the idea of taking along a woman as his lucky charm, and perhaps she'd even do some betting herself. Ah, but that wouldn't be all. Miko raised the idea of bringing an additional person. Hiruko assumed she meant the person she was texting earlier. As he pulled her back into himself and continued grinding against the front wall of her womb, Hiruko latched onto Miko's neck with his teeth. A few moments of biting and sucking passed before he even bothered with a retort. "Haah~! I don't care. As long as it doesn't keep me from getting more of you through the night, you could bring whoever you want. I've only got room for one in my car though," he said, that lower hand of his gliding up her belly until it grasped her bra... which would then be promptly torn away from the girl's body.

Reiji convinced himself that Sakura had to be joking. He was willing to completely ignore that suggestion, but Sakura insisted she wasn't joking at all. She intended to have sexual relations with him, and claimed only women were against having such relations with her. He could definitely see that... though she obviously just hadn't been around the right women. Even Reiji wasn't inherently opposed to the idea, though he would not partake so easily. Sakura even asked for his reason; he'd easily give it. "There are several reasons, not the least of which is that you are my patron. I value your business, but I have a certain respect for you as a customer and member of this shop. To take your advances would only devalue that respect. Besides, if you are around Kimura's age, I am old enough to be your father. We are from two different generations, so any common ground between us is scarce. Lastly, it is impossible to take a teenager seriously in a situation like this. Those other reasons were in the event of me actually believing this wasn't some drawn-out joke."

[Apollymi]

Two people were free for the night, and Miko had asked Hiruko about the potential of adding one more to their mix. She truly didn't want to leave Kaguya out, now that she had some of this experience under her belt and could vouch for its potency. Besides that she also thought that Hiruko might deserve a plunge that he didn't have to work so hard to get. Even so, that didn't stop her from enjoying the feeling of him rubbing against her fore wall while he sucked and bit on her neck. More little moans escaped her, as she sighed her content. "Hmmaaah♪!~" she'd continue singing his praises as he worked himself in her loins. When he finally spoke, he claimed he didn't care about a plus one as long as it didn't get in the way of his plans to indulge in her a bit more this evening. "Iia, nothing like that. Actually, I figured it'd likely add to the experience in this case, if you are interested you could likely have at both of us. And your car only seating two isn't a problem. I normally sit in her lap anyway~" she declared as if that was a perfectly reasonable thing to say. But well, she had mentioned it being sort of reasonable for random people to think she might have been, exclusively lesbian. Still a squeal would be escaping her soon enough as her bra was ripped off her body, "Squee♫~" she found herself chiming as it seemed he was rather serious about ripping her clothes off. Good thing she bought so many.

In the meantime, Sakura within the card shop was given a whole list of reasons from which Reiji made his answer. The reasons he was abstaining from sex, with Sakura had to do with how he saw her as a patron. How he valued their business transactions. The idea that he thought he was old enough to be her father. Humans on this side were really caught up on ages. It was strange to Sakura as aside from small children with properly underdeveloped bodies this seemed to be a bit unnecessary. Perhaps that was something she should ask about too. Reiji was quite the conundrum, so she'd be processing a potential retort while she rewound their interaction back to a few moments prior to this one. "Alright that's good information. Let's try it again." she said offering only a curt smile before her fingers snapped and she found herself able to speak with the man from the point of him thanking her for her patronage and going back to his computer. Perhaps he'd have a strange sensation of de ja vu, feeling like he'd already had this portion of the conversation, but that seemed exceedingly rare. "Actually, I did wonder about something. Though I wouldn't want to say something that might make you reconsider how we interact with one another already. I also realize you may not take me serious when I ask..." she said watching him for a few reactions. She did have to find an in first. She could pick up a few different things simply from observing the way he interacted with her questions. This time she didn't bother popping a few buttons she seemed almost carefree standing their patiently waiting. "I also wouldn't want to interrupt your work, you could finish it first before I ask anything~" she claimed seeming to have noted how seriously this man took his business dealings.
