"Guess so. Gotta have water with your dirt," Satoru said with no further explanation. Maki was proving to be an interesting case, which made a bit more sense of her equally-unusual brother. The only missing explanation was how their mana actually worked. As he'd been loosely observing the goings-on, Yugi thought to finally share his findings. "Valve mechanics. She probably would have properly registered as a B-rank before today if she punched that machine instead of just touching it. I'd recommend taking that into account for future weird cases," he explained briefly while purchasing numerous potions. There were quite a few options now, so he selected three stacks of everything, sending one to Takemi Tae's Inventory window. "Potions sent, two more stacks to split. Still nothing that'll upgrade my weapon, but that crossbow I took should make up the difference. Got a new level on some skills too," he rambled aimlessly during Miko's effort to strip away that condom.
Makima wondered if they had a mandatory quest. How could that question truly be answered? "Err... basically? It's not mandatory, but it's mandatory. You should get what I mean," he said to the woman who clearly gave such 'optional' objectives on a daily basis. "We survive a trial, beat a boss and take a throne to get what should be a massive upgrade... or we die. That's pretty much the deal," he explained. Moving on, the one called Hashimoto was apparently the man Miko tested Black Flash on. "Oohhh, the not-dead dead guy. Mommy's orders," he stated. That was roughly all Yugi had to say. His gear was put back in order by a quick unequip and reequip, but then... there was a line from Maki about reverse-isekai protagonists. "Nail on the head. For a brief explanation, you also became a reverse-isekai deuteragonist earlier today. It's why I can give you stuff. One more milestone and you'll start seeing the things we see. Well... apart from the loot; you already see that. Anyway! Accept," he said, readying himself for the coming quest. For the second time since the System offered Miko and himself System access, Yugi saw something strange: the need for both Players to accept a quest. Once he realized that was the case here, the gears started turning in his mind again. "Oh... shi─"
