<Nocturnal Harmonia>

[Bloodedge]

Whatever silent agreement Miko and Aki were working towards, there was some sort of shock apparently lost due to the male's understanding. Well, if she wanted shock value, Aki thought she should have just left him ignorant... but she didn't seem the type who knew when to shut her mouth. Oh well. "Weird," he commented with no further details. A simple acknowledgement of newfound dexterity later, and Aki was prepared to do a bit more work. He moved out while being welcomed to the 'dexterity team' as Miko put it, and had his offer of a restaurant accepted. "Done deal. Number exchange when the job's done," he decided. With that, Aki was calling forth the existing fox summon, which seemed to have a couple of appetizers ready and waiting before its next meal.

One thing at a time, said Maki. There was already a matter she and Yugi simply couldn't agree on, though he couldn't say much about the type of person she decided to be. Not everyone could burn both ends against the middle. "No mutual pleasuring then? Damn shame~" he joked while flipping over the girl to land atop another spider, steering it her way. It was during that 'ride' that he heard Miko reenter and comment on his mention of frozen meatballs. "Damn right! Can't commit to a long game session if you don't have quick food. Easy way to starve; trust me~" he said from experience. Now that those two were back, he had an offer for Aki. "Oi, does Chungus over there like frozen meatballs? I only had time to prep two!" he offered. Looking over at the two bundles of freezing spiders, Aki managed the lightest chuckle. "So that's what that is. Something's wrong with both of you. Go!" Aki said to the fox. The beast proceeded to consume one ball, then another ─ even while sweeping through other spiders along the way. "Also, I did a whole fucking Spider-Man thing and nobody got it!" Yugi complained. Satoru had seen that, oddly enough... but he was out of range having a different conversation while nonchalantly redirecting creatures that would otherwise fatally wound Kenta. "I agree. People who are too serious are just boring. Real power comes with some nonchalance. That's also aura, by the way. You've got that part covered naturally."

Miko and Aki were coming to an agreement, even if most of the details of it were unspoken. Strangely, enough Miko knew she didn't ever close her mouth at the exact right time, but she couldn't help herself. She'd have to make due with different sorts of surprises instead. "That word from you doesn't sound bad♪~" Miko decided about the man's consistent utterances of 'weird'. Beyond that, he was welcomed to higher order dexterity and made an agreement to exchange numbers with Miko when this job was finished, "Squee♪~ Sure thing Aki-nii♪~" Miko chirped out. Even different people were beginning to feel like fun for the sake of pursuit. She was technically very excited about the idea of a bit of one on one time with Aki outside of healing him on the battle field.

Meanwhile, Maki was standing up straight and taking a moment to push her glasses up to her face. One thing at a time was taken in a very strange way, "You really can't stop can you?" she asked with a reddened fac and glasses pushed up onto her nose causing a glint over her eyes. Such would be how that went. "Yeah, food will make me come out of the cave. Snack breaks are important Omen-kun~" Miko said almost laughing about it herself. It was one guaranteed way her parents used to pull her out of any random activity she was too deeply involved in. Apparently, that large group of spiders had been gathered up for the sake of feeding the fox that Yugi referred to as Chungus. Miko chuckled just a bit... "Really?!" she asked about the naming choice, still the idea that something was wrong with both of them made her shrug. "Partners~" she said about that likeness and let it go. Movements would continue after she refreshed barriers and kept up her own attacks anew. Beyond that point a complaint was lodged by Yugi that no one laughed at his Spider-Man bit, and Maki looked up, "Oh, I thought that was familiar... count mine as a laugh~" Maki said having not made the connection initially. "I heard it, but I was full braining an arm..." Miko admitted. "Still pretty nice work you got going on there~" she offered a compliment as they continued and she also joined the nice ice mage again, helping with his spells and boosting them with extra water to help keep him a bit safer. Just the same Makima was watching now as a few strategic moves had Gojo leading the 'human boss' of this space back towards the group. "You're right. Then does what you're doing count as aura farming as well?" Makima wondered what the kids would do when confronted by an enemy? For now they seemed to be putting in work whittling down the waves of spiders approaching.

The spiders were being dealt with bit by bit, each member of the remaining group beginning to take down their share. Still, the swarm was only getting more intense over time. Yugi could see their queen in the distance: a massive beast with an armored body and eyes an even deeper crimson than his own current ocular Skill. "I think Kaa-san's only getting angrier. Maybe your kids shouldn't be such little bastards. Fatherless behavior!" Yugi instigated, albeit in vain as he would never be understood. Ah, but it seemed he was understood well enough by Maki. She was new to his antics, but she already understood precisely what kind of approach he would keep taking. "I can stop... depending on how you ask♥~" he flirted. As for Miko and her propensity for leaving the cave because of food, his flirt was a little subtler to those who weren't in the know. "Good, 'cause it's gonna be meatballs for fox breakfast and meat-balls for Player lunch!" he announced.

Apparently Yugi's Spider-Man reference wasn't a total loss. Maki had simply missed it initially, and Miko was rather busy at the time. He'd still lament the loss, but at least it wasn't a total net negative. "Still not counting either of those. You'll all rue the day," he insisted with an upturned nose. "... Right. Anyway, the boss looks pretty strong. My summon alone won't be able to handle it," Aki chimed in. "I can try slowing it with some help!" said the mage who had a fair amount of confidence with Miko around. "Are we gonna act like a big spider's a problem? Come on, guys. The babies are more intimidating than their mother... who looks like a bitch by the way!" Yugi antagonized further. Satoru would have agreed with that sentiment if he'd been nearby, but instead he was causing several narrow misses of spider attacks against Kenta. Makima wondered if his current actions counted as aura farming. His answer would come with an upward inflection. "Maybe? I don't think so, but there's no telling with how quickly kids change things up nowadays. I'll do some research~" he decided.

Yugi was still trash talking, this time the spider queen and all her children were being called out. Miko was helping out the Ice Mage, splashing water and shooting jets at everything while going along with his chiding. "Definitely lack discipline and activities~" Miko confirmed her own feelings about the situation. Meanwhile, Maki was being flirted with in a way more direct sort of fashion, she was sweeping a large group of those ever converging spiders and "I don't know if I believe you..." Maki said, but that glint in her glasses wasn't going to be missed. Miko noted the tomboy response, and the soft hidden girly reaction. What was more, a subtle flirt was sent her way as well, she noted it and smirked, "Yosh♪!~ Leaving room for lunch♪~" Miko chirped out seemingly pleased by the whole situation regardless.

At the same time, Yugi's Spider-Man reference, wasn't lost but it also wasn't immediately picked up on. The lad seemed to think they'd be rue the day for not being a bit quicker on the uptake. "Oh no, not rue... anything but the rue~" Miko chirped jokingly afraid. "I refuse to rue..." Maki said, with full confidence in a lack of actual consequences. Meanwhile, Aki was back on the more normal part of a conversation, stating that his summon couldn't take it on alone. The Ice mage claimed he could slow it, "I can do my fair share... and it definitely won't stay too strong for too long after enough hits," Maki mentioned. At the same time, Yugi was claiming the boss looked like a bitch, which only made Miko laugh a bit... she thought him right. "Tehehe♪~ Well I can help with the slowing, I can also stun it. It is a spider, my preferred method will work on it♪~" Miko chirped. "But first we have to get rid of the little ones♪~" Miko claimed, she could drown them but that would take a while. At the same time, Gojo was technically protecting Sato Kenta while Makima wondered over things like aura farming. "Yes, do some research... I can't fall behind the times with a new set pets to look after~" Makima actually seemed legitimately excited about this pair.
