<Nocturnal Harmonia>

[Bloodedge]

Yugi was concocting a very full plan against the Shincho Guild. That group would undoubtedly be encountered one day, when the Players inevitably gained notoriety. Dealing with that situation would be far more effective if they could remove the randomness of it. That did require using Ai as bait, but she didn't seem opposed to being utilized in such a way. "Fuck a hornets' nest. You know what hornets are weak to? Magpies!" he exclaimed. "Make that guild a controlled variable, forcing that rich bitch's attention toward us through a method of our choosing. By this method, they'll hit one frustration after another. They'll still get to us eventually, but that buys some guaranteed time that we can also keep track of. By the time they solve the puzzle, we'll be National-level," he rambled mostly for his own sake, but also as general explanation of the plan.

When Miko arrived however, topics shifted. She had some audacity to enter with an outfit like that ─ especially as one who'd allegedly taken a supportive role here. According to the girl herself, she intended to both cook and clean. The latter, in detail, was about cleaning the plates of 'ingrates' she chose to befriend. "Hmm, right. Not opposed to that at all, but it's not worth talking much shit about when the plate is an entire serving tray," he said. Regarding the 'homemade dressing' he spoke of, Miko continued her audacious behavior by referencing the actual selections she'd brought along. Yugi huffed. "So we're just gonna pretend the slutty maid thing doesn't have an obvious outcome? And what the fuck do you mean 'sous chef?' Are you making fucking Igris be your spatula guy?" he questioned, aghast. "Shame! There goes part of your plate, missy!"

[Apollymi]

Yugi's plan was indeed one that Ai was willing to agree to, protecting her friends was her primary goal and objective. The Players both of them now counted as such, she'd be spending a lot of time with them and as such she'd help them protect themselves as well. "Uh-huh~ Not that into animals but I think I get what you mean~" Ai said. The lads overall plan was to stir the pot with the Shincho build and leave them looking for Players and hopefully distract them from the bigger movements. And in the same time, they'd continue to amass their own personal strength until they couldn't just be strong armed by someone like Ishigami Daisuke. "When you get that far it'll be fairer for you. I get it. In all honesty I don't need the money or benefits when the ones presented to me in this case are better. Though I don't imagine she's been told no too often..." Ai mentioned.

At Miko's arrival Ai observed her playing, blissfully unaware. She wasn't lying per se but she was definitely acting as if she didn't know what that outfit of hers was doing. "Sure it is... I could finish the tray♪~" Miko chirped with pouty indignation. The audacity of this roleplay was not being accepted, even though Miko tried... "In fairness I thought the slutty maid thing looked cuter in the window. I didn't expect it to fit this way, but... after the bunny thing I thought it'd be bad to waste it♪~" Miko asserted about the choice. "First of all, Iggy is way more than the spatula guy... I've never seen any knife work like that... and he wanted to help. He practically pouted when I didn't let him make the garlic butter. There's an amount of clever going on in there I can't say no to," Miko explained of the situation surrounding Igris and his place as a kitchen assistant. "If you've determined that I deserve punishment for using things available to me, I suppose I'll have to accept it, Go♪~shu♪~jin♪~sa♪~ma♪~" Miko asserted. "Do you agree O♪~jou♪~sa♪~ma♪~" she asked of Ai, making that one's brows raise and those crazy eyes shift. "Mi-tan really is a monster... I owe Kaya-tan an apology~ It's cute but slutty and you should definitely have that homemade dressing, we all know you want to mix it up yourself anyway~ Maybe don't be too hard on her Kage-tan or be extra~" Ai wondered playfully looking at Yugi. Mixing up a dressing for the girl could be relatively easy, so that she could head back to the kitchen these two could technically make room for dinner and have their first course.

[Bloodedge]

"Sou. Guess it's good I didn't waste the badger joke then," Yugi decided, only slightly disappointed in his inability to reference another creature. Moving on though, he was quite excited by the idea of putting Ashikaga Kimiko's guild on a road he determined the speed limit and turnpikes of. Ai alone had the ability to pave that road, and it seemed she was fine with the plan as well. Of course, she also realized the girl touted as 'Japan's Cruel Princess' was rarely rejected for any purpose. That was what Yugi was hoping for; it fit right into his plan. "Exactly. When you're busy freaking out about something, your thought processes are affected. There's a small chance of some rash behavior leading to earlier discovery, but the reward is worth that risk and then some."

Miko could finish the tray. Yugi knew this, her Bondmates knew this, and her remaining friend group probably had more than enough room to assume it as well. The way things were going now, it seemed she was setting herself up to clear a 'plate' without any intended involvement from the start. Either her intentions changed, or happenstance took control. Whatever the case, they'd have reason to address that matter again after a tale of how useful Igris was in a kitchen. "Of course he's got knife skills and a brain! Do you not remember the ass-whopping he handed us?!" Yugi questioned with a huff. As for an apparent 'punishment' as it was being called, Yugi seemed much more interested in the way he was addressed at the end. Ai herself would surely be able to tell as well, given his physical reaction beneath her. "Hm. Add one to the list," he said simply. Ai thought he should go ahead with the 'homemade dressing' they were discussing, and at this point, he agreed. "Not a bad idea. Wanna help mix it? You're already here and all~"

[Apollymi]

According to Yugi, it was good that he'd not wasted a particular joke about badgers. "Yep, that would probably be wasted on me... save it~" Ai commented immediately. She wasn't the type to ignore good material, but her knowledge base was a bit peculiar. Whatever the case, a plan was coming together to send 'Japan's Cruel Princess' on a wild goose chase, Ai only thought it fair to give the man a warning. "That does seem like a proper plan, but I will give credit were it is due. Your independent variable is Ishigami Daisuke, who in spite of how he seems is actually gives some very decent advice. If you can hear past his ego," Ai gave information as it came up. She wouldn't want to leave someone with unknown variables floating around. "I'll send that tomorrow sometime... maybe the day after. It might not gain too much traction initially," Ai concluded. If Kaguya was being evaluated soon enough, it would probably just appear that they were going into the whole thing together no extra questions asked immediately, and maybe a push for recruitment.

The business part of this interaction aside, a maid Miko was being her usual self. A supportive, but disruptive influence... as her teachers would have said. It would seem that Igris was quite the kitchen helper by Miko's own words. "I haven't forgotten. I have a couple of those moments burned into my memory. But he's my favorite..." Miko said a gentle pout coming to her face. Beyond that point her new form of address given this slightly shifted role seemed to have an effect. She couldn't feel it, but the way Ai shifted in Yugi's lap said he did indeed have a response to offer aside from adding it to the list. "Hai♪!~" Miko chirped without fail. As for helping mix it, she shrugged. "I should really. I still have to get her back for yesterday~" said Ai as she began a more proper sink into deviance. She was already sure...not quite as off put as she could have been. Hands used to explore Yugi began moving around, unzipping his shirt moving down his chest and abs towards pants he'd need to be freed from as well. Though special care would be needed. All the while, Miko watched oddly quiet. Well, she did say she enjoyed people she enjoyed, enjoying each other... that hadn't changed.

[Bloodedge]

In the midst of Yugi's plan, Ai decided to warn against Ishigami Daisuke as an independent variable. Yugi scoffed mockingly, treating the matter very differently. "Variable? No way. That motherfucker's a core feature," he gloated, treating the blonde National Hunter more like a necessary mechanic to use in his grand game. "The ego is nothing. It's what happens naturally when you're at the top and in the open. I know what he is, and I know how to work around it," he claimed. With Ai agreeing to enact that plan within the next day or two, he was content to wait... and take on other matters of importance.

One such matter was Miko playing up the master/servant role of a maid, sufficiently titillating the lad and making that 'homemade dressing' a much more viable route. He didn't care at all about the Igris situation anymore. Even Ai hopped aboard for the idea of proceeding, if only as an act of vengeance. "Did I miss even better shit than I thought?" Yugi wondered, seeming just a bit more upset to have missed the first lesbian scene of this arc. Before he shifted to something else, Ai was already working on his pants. Of course they didn't need to be undone manually, but... there was something he wouldn't turn down about the exchange. As such, Yugi put forth the effort to reach for Ai's top, aiming to free her breasts at the same time. "You know what? I need payback too. Fuck a salad," he said, albeit with a pause that implied further, unspoken thoughts.

[Apollymi]

The serious conversation between Ai and Yugi, had the blonde lass finding out about the nature of Ishigami Daisuke in his plan. Apparently, he'd not needed the extra information she had to give, but... not giving it didn't seem like a reasonable thing to do. Still, Ai didn't know about his nature as the legendary 'Genokiller' so making sure he had everything necessary was a good idea. "Sou ka... I guess that makes sense. as long as you know about it, I guess that is fair. I just didn't want anyone being blindsided," Ai concluded.

But soon enough there were more important things to discuss. Like homemade salad dressing and punishments being offered to a rather servile Miko. Did he miss even better shit? Ai gave it some consideration. "I don't know what you know about... I do know that insatiable little monster spent way too much time working me over and made me sleepy. I didn't even get up until the notice for the Dungeon break came though, and I missed hamberg steak because of her!~" Ai seemed to be playfully upset. Miko could only shrug to the same question she responded. "I was trying to figure out if it was a no girl on girl or if I just had to work to make a girl route pop. I had to exhaust all possible avenues. Besides Kaya-sen was emotionally caught up, so hers not popping could have been a timing issue," Miko pointed out. She'd done quite a bit of servicing of Ai the previous day, but it wasn't anything too filthy. At the same time, Ai was having her top removed and working Yugi out of his pants. "Woah!~" she stated, knowing it was much bigger than it'd been when she'd seen it in a picture the previous day. Just the same her top coming off freed her massive boobs from their top, not that she minded at all, "Planning some other appetizer instead♪~" Miko asked curiously still remaining rather docile as she watched the interaction taking place in the bed.

[Bloodedge]

What truly happened between Miko and Ai the previous night? Apparently enough to make the blonde fall asleep when she normally wouldn't have, which was enough to warrant retribution. If Yugi missed that much, he'd totally use it as an excuse to delve into Ai for the foreseeable future. All the while, there was an unknown entity creeping around the room, watching the building steam of this event intently. "So that's the excuse you're going for to justify your gluttony this time?" Yugi asked of Miko while Ai worked open his pants, and he, her top. Yugi's erection sprung free between Ai and himself, perfectly rising into position right between those swaying mounds that were simultaneously freed from their constriction. "God damn, milk for appetizer!" he exclaimed without much thought at all.

As for the other appetizer he was actually giving consideration to, the matter was in flux. Mentioning a salad had Yugi's mind trailing off originally... but then, freeing Ai's breasts send his mind in a different direction yet again. "Well I was going to make a salad-tossing joke, but now I'm indecisive with all these options. Besides, apparently that sort of thing isn't for everybody~" Yugi asserted, rolling his eyes. 'Tossing salads' as some might call it was absolutely something for one person, though. One Amamiya Ren was a casual connoisseur of such behavior, and just happened to be in range to hear that conversation. Well... he was seeing a very unoccupied Miko in a very interesting ensemble. Perhaps he'd make use of his hidden presence soon enough. . .

[Apollymi]

Apparently, exhaustive research was an 'excuse' to Yugi, one made to justify Miko's gluttony. Miko herself was innocent of gluttonous intent, but not absolved of her own behavior. "i mean, I don't need excuses to eat. I also had to practice... you know on a girl who has more obvious sexual preferences~" Miko explained of herself. The things that took place between her and Ai counted technically as her first full lesbian experience, and she was partly learning, partly testing, and partly making sure it was possible to sway someone she was really interested in. "Do you hear her? She tried to turn me into a lesbian, Mi-tan's so mean~" Ai said playing up her disapproval. Well, a good story required a bit of conflict and even though she took no issue with Miko's actions and did fully intend to pay her back for putting her out like that she'd make sure to abuse openings given and add her own flair to what was unfolding. Regardless there was soon a giant cock sandwiched between Ai's recently freed breasts. In continuing to play her part in this Miko would be giving her opinion on Ai, without even having the full extras on her flavor based on her newly enhanced senses. "Excellent choice sir♪~ It's a great vintage full of fruity notes with a slightly floral aroma, super sweet with an underlying tartness which is perfectly refreshing to the palate♪~" Miko confirmed as a person who'd tasted of the lass even without knowing what she was exactly.

All the while, Amamiya Ren was moving around this room. Miko hadn't completely forgotten him, but had decided to only deal with him when he popped up. He was an event and taking care of such a thing was indeed something worth doing regardless of everything else. "Wow, you guys jumped into freaky life and found the deep end. I am now wondering if my original revenge plot would have been worth pursuing..." Ai thought aloud just a bit. "I don't...know if I'm into that... it seems like a lot. Like I'll definitely sleep with you, that's a main plan but that seems like a huge potential offer," Ai commented, while her hands found his cock and began rubbing up an ddown his shaft gently the mana pulses in her finger tips playing along his flesh. As for the idea, and the lack of decision, Miko had an answer... and it was the one she often used. "Might I suggest exhausting all options. You won't miss anything if you try it. And as one who's personally been devoured in such a way... it's a mind-blowing experience~" Miko gave her input like a waitress reading off the specials. And suddenly this maid and cleanup thing had become almost completely deviant instead of being about legitimate food, which Miko was still going to make.

[Bloodedge]

"Excuses, lesbian plotlines, still a bunch of shit I'm missing for no reason. Fucking record it next time. Record it all of the times!" Yugi ranted. He'd go on to consider his options, though not without Ai making some decisions of her own. She was a little too reserved to partake in any anal licking right away, as he figured... but she was keen enough to take some initiative and begin pumping his shaft before any other conclusions were reached. Something about her use of magic was very interesting as well. The tingling from every touch of a fingertip against his shaft had Yugi throbbing responsively, his breath even hitching a couple of times.

After a few moments, a groping grasp at Ai's bosom with one hand, a squeeze of her rear with the other, and a bit of nibbling against her bottom lip... Yugi put a few more pieces of the 'Ai puzzle' together. "Not that much of a degen, but enough of one to immediately put sex and magic together? Sou. Good choice. You probably don't want the magic I could respond with, though. I'll work on getting something else~" he teased, tongue lashing out against Ai's jawline as his thumb danced over her nipple. All the while, Ren was creeping ever closer to the scene ─ mostly in the direction of Miko. Knowing she identified him before due to a lack of sound in an area, he had to take a longer path to remain hidden. Specifically, Ren moved through spaces that would already be dead zones for most sounds ─ keeping away from the active bed as well as the space between Miko and the kitchen. In time, those movements would lead him to her rear.

[Apollymi]

Apparently, all lesbian interactions were to be recorded from this point forward. Miko could understand that kind of notion. "Well, in my own defense, I didn't even know that was an option. My normal stuff is automatically recorded, but... I don't want to miss out on it either. So, as you wish, Goshujinsama♫~" Miko asserted, she was still playing at submissive and obedient maid. At the same time, Ai was technically showing off an oddity of skill one which had her using her hands and abusing her mana circuits to essentially, cause tingling in the flesh she made contact with.

As her chest was groped Ai felt quite good, that responsiveness to touch was specifically in her hands but could be considered an expansion of her sense of touch overall. Anytime something else with mana had contact with her skin, it tingled. "One minor correction... it wasn't a conscious development. I see in four dimensions so when my sight first overloaded I... adjusted through tactile sensation~ It gives my sight better orientation~" she admitted. "It makes me a fucking great shot though~" she added seeming to have no problem gassing herself up just a bit. All the while, Miko was listening. She was hyper aware of the space and would be hearing every deviation in breath and every gentle slip of flesh against flesh. It was delightful. She also heard that explanation. As a healer who'd gotten used to using mana in her hands... and an instrumentalist, she could... make use of something quite similar... she'd be trying it out at a later time. "Box it." she uttered quietly. Ai on the other hand was biting her bottom lip, choking on a moan as Yugi's thumb rubbed her nipple, all the while her hands pacing and that tingling sensation seemed to respond to every throb his dick gave off. "I'll look forward to it," Ai mentioned as that tongue lashing up her jaw would be met by her own turning towards it. She'd be swirling her tongue with Yugi's knowing that Miko was watching and hyper-fixating. She'd also continue stroking his cock, making a special note to rub her thumb over the head of it with that same tingling sensation applied.
