<Nocturnal Harmonia>

According to Miko, Yugi was to be careful with the tone shift. He'd be no such thing. Aggression felt more natural. The drive to slay the magic beasts around him was much stronger, and actually felling them was much more satisfying. He didn't feel right stopping, but it was for the betterment of their progress as a pair that he do so. The information he shared about the mages had Miko suggesting another use of Megiddo. "Why bother? If the mages stay up, there will be more knights to farm~" he countered. The only real issue Yugi had presently was with those unseen assassins. Calling Miko's Concubine would surely help with that, and he could potentially bring Kaguya along to get her better acclimated. All they had to do was make a couple of calls.

When Yugi reached Kaguya, however, the call was odd. He had a visual... of her earhole. If nothing else, he could at least confirm her ear's cleanliness while looking right into it... but how did she fail to realize she'd answered a video call? "... Right. Not even gonna bother. Something is up. Make sure you're alone for the next twenty minutes. I'll summon you. Hop in the shower or something if you have to; that should work with Shirogane," he said simply. At the same time, Miko was reaching one Amamiya Ren, whose heavy breathing was the first thing passing through the call. "Moshi moshi?"

Apparently, killing the mages would result in less knights to farm and so Yugi wasn't worribled about doing it so early. Miko could understand it, as the level grinding aspect of their day was quite important... but there was still something just a bit more dangerous about Yugi's tone. "Squee♪~ Cursed Seal is angy mode♪~" she decided. Still, she wasn't upset about it, no she was having a bit too much fun with the potentials of the situations. Farming would be good considering that Kaguya had no 'Dungeon' experience, and while Ren likely had a bit more experience than that... getting him to help was one of the best choices.

Meanwhile, Kaguya answered the phone call the same way she always had done. Her issues with technology, were showing their head as she didn't know she wasn't answering a regular call. The image of the girl's neck and ear no matter, it was probably for the best that she wasn't getting a full visual of the boy in question. "Something's up and you only need 20 minutes?~ That doesn't sound good... but Miyuki isn't anything to worry about. See he woke up and found out you guys went out last night and since we're still in a lockdown he went looking for you two. I probably still have about 45 minutes until he gets back but just in case, I'll lock myself in the bathroom and leave a note about hangover showering~" Kaguya mentioned moving towards the front door to leave that note before heading for the bathroom. "None of your non-sense when you get here♪~" Miko chirped which made her smile. "Oh you are together♥!~" Kaguya chuckled she was going to ask about Miko until such a thing happened. Meanwhile, Miko was having her own phone call answered and she was giving a quick rundown to Ren. "Renny ♪~ Do you have some free time? I am in a combat situation and I could use your help... you'll be summoned into the Raid with us and we can give you some gear. I could also use your help teaching another Assassin type a bit while we work through the waves~" she said explaining it in terms of gaming raids.

Kaguya took interest in the fact that 'only' 20 minutes were needed for something being afoot. It seemed Miyuki actually managed to get himself up, and even went on to go out searching for the missing 'non-awakeners' as he thought. Yugi chuckled ─ more of a quick exhale in a somewhat mocking tone. "Ho? He's got it in him to wake up worried? Didn't seem like he cared much for waking up when there was an earthquake happening," he said to mock the man who slept through his would-be spouse being railed throughout the night. Miko warned the girl against her own nonsense, but the mention of a 'hangover shower' had Yugi thinking something else. "Go full nonsense. You can take your clothes off too. We've got all the gear you need," he claimed, intending to end the call there if Kaguya had nothing else to say.

By then, Ren was hearing quite a few words from Miko. He seemed a bit hurried, but not so much that he couldn't take a phone call. Did he have time? Well... "Technically," he answered. If Miko had gotten herself into a combat situation and needed his help, he could definitely drop what he was doing. The ability to just summon him into a raid sounded strange... but he'd seen the strangeness of Miko/the Players already. "I'll help you. Just... a few seconds," he requested. If nothing else, Ren needed a moment to put his cock away. He'd been planning something, but he had a little time before that to offer some assistance.

Overnight, apparently Miyuki hadn't woken to the noises and shaking done by Yugi and Kaguya combined. "Yeah he does... freaks out about rule breaking worse than Mi-chan used to~" Kaguya said playfully. "Still, you're sounding a bit spicy today. I can't wait to find out what happened♥~" she said seeming to be amused. "Mi-chan I don't know what I'm walking into, no promises~" Kaguya claimed as Miko rolled her eyes. Well, she'd know if she knew how to answer a phone. No matter, she'd left her note and was now stripping out of clothes and locking herself in the bathroom per Yugi's instructions. "Hai♥~ See you soon♥~" that was all from Kaguya until she was summoned, having locked herself in the bathroom.

At the same time, Miko was busy on the phone with Ren. She'd dropped him a cursory bit of information but figured she could properly fill him in after he arrived if necessary. Apparently the ark haired lad was technically free, and he would help, he just needed a few seconds. "Hai♪!~ Arigatou♪ Renny♪!~ I see you in a bit♪~" Miko sang pleased as she ended that call. It had gone but better than she thought it would and now she was standing in the middle of that still functional circle of poison mist pulling up the screen to summon Ren and putting together a few items from the Inventory he might enjoy. All the while she counted about 5 seconds before she aimed to pull in the lad summoning him to this area. At the same time Makima was fully aware of Amamiya Ren's involvement in Miko's day, the fact that the lad was apparently coming to help was a bit surprising, as Makima knew he was hiding his status as a Hunter from almost everyone. No matter. This other unknown was worth another casual glance.

Yugi would be leaving Kaguya to her devices long enough for her to set up an alibi. Miyuki wouldn't be much to worry about anyway, but it wasn't yet time to leave open a need for explanations. As such, he was content to execute whatever contingencies came up. It wouldn't take long for Kaguya to discard whatever clothes she had on; of that he was sure. Still, there was another summoning meant to happen, and Yugi rather enjoyed the idea of offsetting them just a bit.

Amamiya Ren was given a cursory five-second window to get himself ready. It didn't take him very long, but his order may have been a little odd. By the time he appeared, the black-haired male was sporting a large, hooded trench coat with its hood lifted to hide his face. That was apparently his first priority, as he was actively shoving his dick into his pants when appearing. He faced Miko directly in that moment, cock in hand and hesitation taking over his entire body. "Oh... you took that literally," he said skittishly, legs spread wide in an effort to continue shoving that thing down. He looked around and saw only one person besides Miko herself, making the only assumption he could. "Is he the one you need me to teach?" he asked. "You wish there was something you could teach me," Yugi said with a dismissive scoff.

[Apollymi]

Kaguya was being left to her own devices, and creating an alibi. She felt as if this was something she would be doing quite frequently. No matter, it would take her only a minute or two, to write a note, to leave by the front door, lock herself in the bathroom and turn on the water. Once all that was done she stripped herself of an oversized cream colored sweater dress and leggings which seemed to be a preferred kind of clothing to wear around the house, and even her underwear, as to sell the whole shower situation. She seemed to think nothing of it.

At the same time, Miko had waited a requisite five seconds before summoning the lad she'd meant to call upon. And what she found was him, with his face covered by a hood in a trench coat and struggling to get his meat into his pants. "Very literal person... I am not disappointed though. You just waking up? Or did I interrupt some plans you had with that♪?~" Miko asked teasingly. Well, regardless she'd make it up to him at some point. Interestingly enough he figured the thing she asked about had something to do with the lad already here. Miko shook her head no and chuckled. "Iia, he isn't be trained. That's my partner... he's in angy mode right now... don't worry about it~" Miko claimed brushing off unnecessary things. And thinking about somethign earnestly, "Hm, you have similar archetypes, box it..." she murmured to herself pushing aside that thought. "She'll be here in a bit. Quick explanation. This is a raid. We already beat the boss, that dead unit of a knight by the throne. And now we're on survival waves, there are Assassins in the group, that keep trying to take kidneys and the like and it's a bit too busy in here for me to track them down by sound. So... need help with that. Also another person will be popping up in a second and you'll be helping her out... after her freakout. I'll take any of your advice about my current problem while you tell me if you want a new weapon or gear, fair?" Miko asked of the lad giving just enough information to set up the day. "Oh? Is that how he's been hiding..." Makima casually wondered aloud. Well she knew who the lad was and he didn't know such a thing was wholly unnecessary here.

[Bloodedge]

Ren originally assumed he'd have plenty of time to put his dick away. It seemed he found it more important to hide from anyone who might be able to identify him. Upon arriving, he was asked if any plans were interrupted. "Uh... no. I was working on a thing. I've still got about ten minutes," he said. In truth, Ren had been waiting on a certain person's arrival. When she showed up, he intended to be done edging himself ─ only to give the awaited lass a very 'special' greeting. As for the person he was meant to train, it wasn't Yugi. That lad insisted there was nothing for Ren to teach him. "Right... gomen," he said to the other male.

Then came the explanation. The male here was Miko's partner previously mentioned. They were in the middle of a raid, in which they'd already defeated the boss... but still had a survival task? "That seems... backwards," Ren said. "Ass-backwards, right?! Fucking stupid Brainface doesn't understand the concept of tiring players out before the boss to add difficulty. Nooo, let's kill them with the boss, then let them die to trash mobs after they've been beat the fuck up!" Yugi complained freely. "Yeah, like that. It sounds like Dungeon Defenders on a more extreme endless mode," Ren said. Yugi scoffed. "Trash game. Castle Crashers is better," Yugi chimed for the other lad's consideration.

Whatever the case, Ren managed to get his member put away. The pair needed help with Assassins; he could do that. It wasn't a matter of hearing or seeing, unless there were weaknesses to be exploited in the hiding technique used. The girl Ren was here to help was nowhere in sight however, and that... was something to be fixed by Yugi. The male Player would be summoning Kaguya while Ren held his explanation, thinking it to be a superior approach. "Looking around here... I can give a pretty good guess where an Assassin would be. There's a trick to assassination attacks when working with a large group and staying hidden."
