Charles Patricius

[Apollymi]

Kazuhiko would be admitting soon enough, that he was more focused on opening something else in the near future. A grin came to Miko's face... "This is why there are boxes~" she mused. Her own lack of focus usually made her categorize things and her psychiatrist had recommended the boxing exercise when she'd admitted to the pure chaos of her mental faculties all the time. Soon enough her shirt was lifted and Kazuhiko's pants had fallen down by his ankles. Once everything was in place, Miko had a leg being lifted, as Kazuhiko admitted to wanting to try this same thing at least thrice in the past 48 hours. "It's great, Charlie♪!~ And if you want to try something, I'm always up for it♪~" she said excitedly. With a little wiggle of her body was already prepared for this, odd though it was to be on a semi-constant state of arousal, Iino Miko had come to terms with the nature of her body and knew that Kazuhiko could push himself inside without any problems, to punctuate this issue she would leave him a teasing little statement, "Now then, fuck me 'til my leg gives out, or they get caught. You know, whichever happens first♪~" she teased more than ready for the next few moments, and remembering his desire to be spoken to in her most direct way from time to time. Even as she heard the sounds from doors over as clearly as she heard her own voice, she was prepared to be entered properly, sliding her own panties out of the way and revealing her always moist folds ready for penetration.

Meanwhile, Konomi seemed to be adjusting pretty well to this whole, deep penetration situation. Though her own heavy breathing was something causing magic to stir within this little dressing room, she couldn't say she felt anything but better as they progressed. Even as she spoke of the type of fog that was descending from her mouth into the space, she received oddly enough commentary about her remaining words. "Ha... aha...ummm... well, don't hold out too long on that," she murmured about her remaining words. Soon enough, Soma was grabbing her hands and not giving her any space, but still ramming into her. Their skin slapping together was now a sound that permeated her own ears, and that thickening fog would only gain density as her tongue fell out of her mouth and she hiccupped with each and every push forward into her core. That limited tightening became almost a pulse as she approached climax more and more steadily and her body reacted naturally to wanting to be filled.

At the same time, Sakura was enjoying her new view and hearing the words of Hiruko. He claimed not to know about sweets, but that he was having Sashimi. She knew what that was, growing up where she did, it was a food of skill, but served with things which would make it palatable and not just empty as food in this world tended to be. "I'll eat Sashimi, I don't dislike it. Anything else you recommend I'll try... I am not truly picky," she said. The truth of the matter was, she could eat anything the same way she could accept any kind of mana. It just so happened that she had things she really liked already. While Hiruko was gone she excitedly looked out of windows and wondered about the nature of this river. Great bodies of water were usually very important, and she could imagine how nice this place was because of such a thing. She maintained a genuine curiosity and even a small smile as she appreciated the scenery, it was truly breath-taking.

[Bloodedge]

The more time passed, the more Kazuhiko agreed without question how much Miko was willing to do. It almost felt strange to confirm how easily they could solve their persistent horniness issue with one another. They both had multiple options, but there was a certain comfort to the solid addition of a long-term comrade who could be looked upon for the same purposes. Perhaps that comfort came from another comfort. He could always relax in the presence of Miko, or more specifically Anais. This alteration to their existing relationship was surprisingly nothing short of a positive development. "I'll hold you to that," he agreed. Now, with Miko's leg lifted, his pants dropped and her underwear shifted aside, the switch was flipped by Miko. She spoke in such a way as to require no purposeful effort from Kazu. In fact, the way she spoke caused him to throb immediately. Given their angle and closeness at the time, he was already rubbing himself against her undercarriage without making a conscious effort. "Huh. Wow. Welp... allons-y, Annie!" he called out, bracing himself at the knees to lunge upward into Miko's canal.

Konomi didn't make it sound like she expected her own continued speech ability. Frankly, Soma didn't anticipate as much either. Evolution was a matter of trauma if one asked the right person. Life-altering events were the way to go, so of course... Soma had to offer a life-altering pummeling. Having that hold on Konomi's wrists allowed him infinite leverage while achieving great depth. The repetitive sound of wet slapping would continue for some time, functioning as a beat by which Soma would 'dance' at pace. Now was the time he'd begin applying a bit of mana to ensure Konomi had something more to build up to.

Before Hiruko made his way to find the chef, Sakura agreed to sashimi. They were both hoping for something sweet, but Hiruko believed a bit of sashimi would really complete the tour. "Sashimi and something sweet. I'm on it~" he said before fully stepping away. It would only be a matter of seconds before Hiruko returned, seeming content as he rejoined Sakura. "Good news, Sakucchi. Nerikiri and matcha are on the way right after the sashimi platter. We're in for a treat," he assured with an open gesture toward the long table. In total, it seemed there were twenty seats connected in pairs of two. Hiruko entertained the thought of this being some sort of couples' retreat. Luckily, they were alone and free from the behavior of other pairs.

[Apollymi]

Miko freely agreed to trying things with Kazuhiko because she knew him well. There was a certain likeness between them that it didn't feel endangering to offer him free reign even without full context. If he thought he was a foot guy, she'd let him use her feet. If he wanted to try and dominate, she could play submissive with ease, and if he wanted conversational romance she also be up for that. There was nothing in their friendship but comfort and home for Anais, and for Miko there was nothing in their sexual relationship but more of the same, how could she say no to that? Their desire for adventure in this way was too similar to be ignored. So when he claimed he'd hold her to her offer, she only had one thing to say with a cheeky smirk aimed up into his face, "Aye, Sir♪~" she offered her self in the way she liked answering him best in certain situations. 'Bet you'll fuck everyone you want to keep from now on. He just confirmed coming back to us!~' her mind chimed triumphantly. Beyond this, she'd given him just the right way to start up, and had been rewarded for it just the same. A phrase she'd not heard in a while slipped from Kazuhiko's lips, a new face for her, saying one of the first phrases she'd heard from him, one which hit her ears in perfect harmony with the way she felt. Her body hummed internally as he pushed forward into her loins and she found herself even tighter than normal given that lifted leg as he took his first plunge into her core. "Hm, hearing you say that is so great, that sound has some of the best memories of my life attached to it♪~" she sang softly.

At the same time, continued speech wouldn't really be possible for Konomi. The added forcefulness of Soma was one thing, but when his mana was added to the mix her brain lost the ability to offer anything but sounds. Their skin meeting was one thing, that magical fog from her lungs something else, and then... there was the feeling within her womb as she was battered into paste by a man willing and able to take full advantage of all the space her body had to offer. What would happen beyond that point? Well, that constant pulsing was reaching fever pitch and she'd find herself cresting over the horizon of pleasure for the first time as her core aimed to clamp down on what was invading her body. A moan would be escaping her added to the cacophony of sound coming from that one specific dressing room. "Ooooohaahahah~"

While Sakura enjoyed her view Hiruko spoke to the staff on the boat. And when he came back he had good news. He claimed there was a tea type she was familiar with along with whatever Nerikiri was, context clues and the goodness of the news, made Sakura believe that sweets were incoming after a more savory opening meal. "That is good news. I like sweets in general even ones I haven't had before~" she said seemingly truly excited about the prospect. The whole of this trip so far made her very happy to have met this man and more so than that, she was pleased by her current growing list of experiences. And why wouldn't she be? It was quite interesting to see so many new things during a time period where she'd expected to spend more time in lonely contemplation while waiting on a call from her friend group. She figured the activities of the morning must have been going well, since both her chat threads had quieted, but she didn't feel ignored at all either. She figured something of a discussion had to take place before she fully gave extra information to Hiruko, but she'd still enjoy his company in the meantime. "This place would be perfect for a group outing," she murmured about all the space. She assumed it was meant to be a more public thing, but had no problem with occupying a lot of space as a person. She found herself sitting casually and splitting her attention between looking out of the window and glancing over at Hiruko.

[Bloodedge]

Kazuhiko found himself occasionally reverting to an old manner of speech lately. French phrases hadn't been common to him for some time, but he was beginning to feel a bit more... natural. Perhaps stopping to enjoy life, as instructed, was good for more reasons than he imagined. Even the ridiculous amount of sex he was having felt relaxing. Here and now, he shouldn't have found such comfort while half-nude in a public place. Well... it was a dressing room, but there was nothing proper being done. Oh well. Kazu was completely unbothered by the breaking of social norms. He thought only of the friction-filled lunge into a moist pocket of flesh ─ something he couldn't get enough of nowadays. He also had some great memories attributed to the use of that phrase. As he moved within Miko at a pace markedly slower than the rush they were in dictated, he recalled some of them. "Me too. Now that you mention it... we've got other world forms! Annie, we have to pull those out later for this! I've got ideas!"

All the while, any noise from that dressing room was drowning in moaning, grunting and slapping from another. Soma could see the progress of Konomi as it literally radiated from her body under his scrutiny. The wave washing over Konomi was one he fully intended to amplify... by adding to it. "Assault Command," he said in a voice that echoed. For the following ten seconds, Konomi would have her every ability enhanced tenfold before an eventual crash. In that ten seconds though, Soma would be tugging her by the arms and working his entire core to slam into her with great concussive force. By his approximation, ten seconds and additional fervor would be enough to bring about his own ejaculation ─ one he already felt building through various intense pulses.

Hiruko's return was soon concluded with the choice of a seat. The table in this boat was long, and he felt most right placing himself in the centermost position to the south-facing side. The best view on this trip would probably be Osaka Castle, he thought; that would be southward from this angle. A bottle of chilled sake was already in place on the table, complete with two cups at the ready. Though it was early, Hiruko never thought it was too early for a drink. He removed the bottle from its ice bath to go about pouring the first cup. All the while, Sakura was commenting on this tour boat's potential for group outings. "It would be. Do you want one? This one was canceled as a public tour. It wouldn't be hard to have it deemed officially unfit. It wouldn't be the first time," he mused. Hiruko may have purchased a boat or two in the past, even for similar reasons. "Sake?"

[Apollymi]

Kazuhiko and Miko were both finding comfort in their current endeavor. They didn't have to be this way, but there was something about the coziness of their interaction which made it so that Miko found herself enjoying even this extra deviance, not just because it was deviant. Sound was her trigger, so as Kazuhiko enjoyed the tight squeeze of her loins made even tighter by that raised leg, she enjoyed his French word usage, something which had been missing in recent times. As he pushed that entrance slowly he agreed about the nostalgia associated with his words and brought up an interesting point. They had other world forms, more forms to have deviance with. There were different parts, different heights, different body proportions. "That is a great idea. I do have something to do with Anais first, but as soon as I finish my next Avatar, all's clear!~" she chimed. She still wouldn't make herself a liar. Besides that she had plenty to look forward to, even so she'd enjoy the comfort and the extras of those other forms. "I have a lot of those coming up too, Charlie. There are a variety of me waiting in my head, I've seen a few and I have heard a few more~" she said in a teasing manner. Regardless she had no problem allowing Kazuhiko or Charlemagne to sample the forms of herself she created, in fact, it would only be considered more fun that way. She would enjoy that tight squeeze and the sounds and feel the building pressure as he worked his way towards her womb.

Light noise and conversation were being drowned by moans and aggression. This was par the course for Soma and becoming quite normal for Konomi as well. Here and now she was being reamed with ease. Even in the position she'd chosen and the leverage she'd given herself she was being overwhelmed. It wasn't a bad feeling though, and she was definitely gaining a greater understanding even if only through the natural inclinations of her body. Magic was being used and this time, it wasn't just words she heard, but a command she felt. It was seemingly triggered somewhere deep inside herself and she responded to it, accepting it and the boost that came with it. Her hips began to move rapidly in rhythm against Soma's thrusts. She seemed almost undeniably aggressive for a few seconds, treating her body as a moving wall against the battering ram that was his cock. She was squeezing, she was moving, she was giving heself an extended orgasm by contributing to her own movements at a much greater tilt. "Uuuuhaha~" another loud moan escaped her, but that constant slapping groaning and the sound of wet plunges into her loins were overwhelming. Such was the nature of that internaction... at least for ten seconds or so, until her body would reach climax again and fall off almost instantly afterwards.

At the same time, Sakura was finding herself sitting alone on a large tour boat with Hiruko. She'd been enjoying the scenery and thinking and would be moving to join him for a better view and a drink and for general closeness. "I would like one," she easily agreed in a manner which most would consider rude given he could have been joking. Having a boat like this would be great for the group and they could all go out together. She was sure that between multiple riders and knight classes someone would be able to man this vehicle. "Still, must have been a very interesting time for another one of these~" she said about the boat. As for the drink she'd take that as well, she was never discouraged from doing anything and no concept of the timing of things. She literally ate desserts instead of food a lot of the time, "I'll take some sake, I do enjoy it~" she mused.

[Bloodedge]

There was an agreement to the idea of debauchery using their different faces. Adding to that clause however, Miko mentioned having something to do as Anais. She also mentioned having multiple other variants in progress. She should have known by now how Kazu was about a slew of selections. "Can I get a turn with each one? Actually... is one of them an adventurer? Imagine the next long trip if you have an adventurer Avatar ready!" he said, growing more excited as more thoughts flooded in. All the while, Kazu's hips were winding slowly. Despite the slower approach, the gradual rubbing provided a more intense form of stimulation on his end. He supposed having more time to feel every nook and cranny was a boon, particularly when a canal was as well-lubricated as Miko's. "This feels more intense. Not sure if it's the moment, or thinking about the antlers... and the armored heels... and the..." He paused there for a few moments. "I'm gonna shut up now─"

How would Soma's temporary embattlement command affect Konomi? Well, he had ten seconds to find out. In that ten seconds, it seemed she couldn't presently reach the performance of the other two he experienced previously, but that pair had more experience and ability already actualized. Regardless, she managed to join Soma in reckless slamming. The force they used against one another eventually resulted in a momentary lift of Konomi from the ground ─ just a bit when his pull on her wrists collided with the force of impact and upward angle Soma chose. Ten seconds was enough. At the nine second mark, just before the enhancement wore off, that buildup reached the pinnacle. The final second was all it took for the flow of liquid mana to pass through his shaft, flooding the womb of Konomi just as his command wore off.

Sakura agreed to receiving a boat with relative ease, much to Hiruko's surprise. How strange. She showed no signs of any sort of gold-digger, making her acceptance of something so extravagant yet another alien trait. Normally, someone had to know Hiruko quite a bit better before taking such offers. Either way, the offer was genuine. "Then you can have this one," he said simply, as if he expected nothing in return. "It's always an interesting time, but... that was a different type of boat. That one's back in Saitama," he added while pouring a second cup of sake. One cup was lifted, but not to Hiruko's own lips. No, he held it in front of Sakura's face instead, even though the other cup was closer to her. "Special toast?"

[Apollymi]

Miko still held in her mind the fact that Anais had promised the second person she'd have sex with was Mugen. Given that, she could not promise Kazuhiko anything immediate, still, she could tease him with her other future selves, and likely put a bit more of a definite time frame on their creation since she had a better reason to do so. What was more, when confronted with the idea of multiple different forms of Miko he wanted to try them all. "Charlie, that's a great idea, I definitely could make an adventurer. I need something to do with all of this anyway, box it!~" she chimed happily. Besides that point the first one needed to be addressed. "You can absolutely have a go with all of them. There is no form of me that wouldn't fuck you♪~" Miko chimed as he continued his push further into her canal. 'Twice!~' chimed the voice in her head. Of course she thought things like that. There was friction and pressure and he'd not even reached the end of her yet. As he continued forward he spoke of his own excitement and the reasoning for it, the moment, the potential for antlers and armored heels and... he claimed he would be quiet. "No, keep going!~ Sounds like there's a lot to unpack... if it's exciting to you, I can confirm even before they are finished that three forms of me have antlers~" she said in a teasing way. She had several in the works, including now a box filling with what she thought of as adventuring essentials... just the same it was exciting for her to know, what Kazuhiko thought of her other form.

Meanwhile, Konomi worked herself into a tizzy physically only to reach the threshold of pleasure and be pushed past it by Soma himself. It would seem that right before her body lost its ability to capitalize on the command given by Soma that she would be receiving even more mana. A burst of it within her womb made that dense fog spill over from her mouth a and her body take another more forceful push towards completion. Rather it could be said that she was red faced eyes swirling and her legs now limp and twitchy as she processed magically an influx of mana. She was finding herself tingling, euphoric and content. "AAAAAahhhhh♥!~" a pure sort of relief exited her body within a moment or two of Soma emptying himself within her, again.

At the same time, Sakura was being alien once more but not for any real understandable reason to her. It was normal to a goddess to accept the gifts of those accepted. Given this, it could be said that her easy acceptance of Hiruko's kindness was how things should have been. Of course, she already understood now, that many would not be actually freely giving. There were those who pretended to give, to instead receive and try to manipulate more than they deserved. But as Hiruko showed no such inclinations towards her, she freely accepted all he offered. "Argiatou gouzaimasu!~" she said about the boat. At the same time, she took the seat next to him and watched him pour a second cup of sake. They'd both be sitting there while he explained that another situation had a different kind of boat and that it was back in the place he was from. "Sou ka," she said smiling, he'd said something but there were no real details. She didn't mind it and only found it amusing that he managed to be so straight forward and so secretive at the same time. That being said, she wouldn't pry, as it was more fun to her to try and figure him out. What was he doing now, special toast. "Hai, Hirrun~" she chimed as she leaned into that cup shared between the two of them. She had a feeling where this was going and as such left herself completely open to it. It was a matter of trust between the two of them.

[Bloodedge]

"You definitely should make an adventurer! I swear I'm starting that guild, and well... we all know your setup as Anais isn't the best for adventures," he said excitedly, thinking Miko could have an even better time on adventures if she had the proper build for it. As it stood, Anais was not really suited to all aspects of adventure without others along for the journey. Of course Kazu intended to join in any adventure he possibly could, but the ability to do things for oneself was more within the adventurers' spirit. According to Miko, every form she had would be ready and willing to have sex with him. Moreover, there was acknowledgement of Miko's other forms ─ three of which had the antlers he spoke of. He thought to comment on how exciting that idea was, or even other ideas Miko wanted to let him share... but in that moment, he could see something ethereal and glowing around Miko ─ something with a very large and expansive pair of antlers. He felt almost connected to something, but it only registered to him as Miko herself. That, Kazu thought, was something to move on from. "Huh. Well... that's awesome, and definitely taking a lot of slots from my schedule. Gonna start planning a co-op raid or something for when we're all clear."

Soma's expulsion was not a short-lived event. He poured and poured, lingering deep within Konomi's womb as each drop worked its way out into a new home. He had no use for all that ejaculate, but she clearly found purpose in it without even trying. Transformation was occurring right before Soma's eyes. He'd never seen it for himself, having only imagination to go by. Either way, it seemed Konomi was physically spent during the crash of his enhancement. No matter; he didn't need her physical side to grow. She could be physically subhuman for all he cared, so long as her magical ability excelled as he needed it to.

For such a curious individual, Sakura surely wasn't one to delve deeper into certain topics. She could have had all learnable information about his boat-purchasing history, but she didn't ask a single question beyond the initial assumption. No matter; they had a day to enjoy. Only in the first trip of the day, Hiruko thought it best to share a toast. Sakura once again lost the overall purpose of a gesture, but she still placed her lips against the offered cup. Hiruko took the liberty of tilting the cup, slowly pouring its content between her lips. "Enjoy~" was all he said, tilting the cup further without making any obvious moves toward his own physical involvement.

[Apollymi]

Kazuhiko claimed that Miko should make an adventurer avatar. She agreed with this notion already but the addition of the idea of him going through with his idea to make an adventurer's guild meant that she'd definitely have something to do with it. She could trust him to keep his word after all. "Yeah, I know. She's a bit better now with all the alchemy stuff floating around. Still, a dedicated adventurer with applicable stills would be nice. I'll take those from you~" she said with a bit of a grin. She knew that if she was going to put one of those together she was going to use Charlemagne for it. Still there was something quite interesting going on, as Miko felt very happy about the idea of the connection. Her various forms with antlers seemed to make him happy and thus made her happy, even as he continued to push himself into her depths. "Hai, that sounds great... I can't wait~" she stated. That brighter entity inside her also seemed to be pleased, and as always flickered in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Konomi found herself being filled to the brim. Of course she hadn't physically caught up to the level of Soma or anything like that, but she would also not be staying in the exact same physical condition either. While she didn't fully understand how to make these things work, her body did work quite well on its own. Her soul decided what would be happening and spread all that mana being deposited into her womb around the whole of her person. Her face was flushed deep crimson, as she was obviously intoxicated Still her body began to process, thickening her hair, and body quite a bit. And that fog she was exhaling didn't stop either, even as her chest gained a bit of mass over the process. She was also quite twitchy, but such was the nature of these things. All the while, her mana circuits were opening and as they did her body gained quite a bit of extra.

Meanwhile, Sakura was missing a few social cues but such was her nature. She didn't fully question any of the notions surrounding the boat purchasing experiences of Hiruko, but that didn't stop her from thinking about them a bit more. Whatever the case, a cup was being tilted towards her, and she accepted the drink from it as it cascaded into her mouth and down her throat for some of it. Still, there was more, since it was offered in such a way and poured slowly. She'd eventually find herself reaching for the other cup and sliding into Hiruko's lap facing him to offer him the second cup as well. "Your turn~" she said teasingly making a similar offer.

[Bloodedge]

Kazu noted Miko having a strange aura since the previous day ─ one that appeared in very specific instances that he couldn't put his finger on. It didn't seem like her, nor did it seem exactly like Anais. Perhaps it was a sign of another Avatar within? He couldn't determine one thing or another. Whatever it was, he couldn't stop seeing it now, primarily through an ethereal glow just under the surface of her eye. "Looking like that, you can take whatever you want. Hell, take it all," he muttered. Seeming to be just a little dazed, Kazu nearly reached for the top of Miko's head. He could have sworn he saw those antlers in a slightly different form. They weren't actually there, surely... but perhaps they could have been. He could say the same about that aura encompassing her form. "Are you... something different now? Or am I going crazy?" he asked even in the midst of grinding his way through to her womb.

In the meantime, Soma was showing no signs of slowing down. He'd provided plentiful mana ─ seemingly enough to kickstart Konomi's evolution from within. Even so, he saw little purpose in stopping at just one and a few signs of change. The more her body thickened, the more her magic exuded, the more he pulled her back into his lap while ramming himself forward. Soma realized the pull was becoming a little more difficult; perhaps Konomi had a bit of chest growth going on past his line of sight? If that were the case, he'd soon be adding something else to his agenda. "That looks good. Can you see it?" he asked, noting the particular thickness of mana within the changing room. They didn't have long before a very familiar form of interruption came their way, but Soma didn't seem concerned about that at all.

It didn't matter to Hiruko how many social cues Sakura overlooked or didn't understand. She had a very unique air about her for such reasons, so he could do naught but sit back and appreciate the oddities... whether the cause was magic, something alien, or something else entirely. For now, he'd watch fresh sake cascade into the purple-haired girl's mouth, even taking note of her throat's movements when swallowing. Everything he saw was worth keeping an eye on. Once that was over, though, Sakura was slipping herself into his lap and offering the other cup. Hiruko appeared surprised, but obviously not in seriousness. "Oh? I get a turn? And here I was thinking to give you two," he said. In the next breath, Hiruko put his lips to the cup to let sake pour onto his tongue.

[Apollymi]

Miko was reaching a specific kind of existence as time passed on. The more she took on characteristics of the spirit inhabiting her body, the closer they became to being the same existence in truth. Ah, but she didn't fully understand that herself, any changes in her person weren't ones noticeable to her, instead it was her extra selves who seemed to know what was going on with her. Still, Miko was offered whatever she wanted from Kazuhiko, rather he claimed she could take it all. "Hai!♪~" that little chimed word, cutely escaped her lips as even further stretching inside her soul took place. Dazed Kazuhiko wanting to reach for her head, was a thought which that little light encouraged, Miko liked having her head patted, whether there were antlers present or not. "Iia, you aren't going crazy~" Miko murmured softly as that push forward caught her attention as well, especially since he was making his way to her womb. "I might have mentioned all those extra voices in our head before, a couple of them seem to leak out or it would be more accurate to say they are trying to become more part of me," she stated honestly. If her feelings about it were correct, the glittering version of herself from her dreams, with ethereal light shining brightly from her soul, was 'Riri' as Seigen called her. That one felt almost outside of her body initially, but that was partly the fault of outside influences, she was currently blending further into Miko's soul spreading out and nestling into her body, showing herself as that strange form of otherworldly attractiveness and a certain effect on her mana, but that didn't matter currently, currently that squeeze within her loins was all she could really focus on as she reached forward to slip her arms around Kazuhiko's neck, contributing to bringing their bodies closer together.

Meanwhile, a dazed Konomi was feeling the unfamiliar press of glass against a budding chest. The thickness of her thighs touching each other as well. It was interesting, but she almost couldn't focus on it. She was too busy having a rather sudden amount of extra sensation in her limbs. It was an odd sensation and not one she could liken to anything else. She'd say it reminded her of being drunk but also like she'd been working out for weeks at a time. "Ugh? I can see a lot, feel it too... I...uh..." she was trying to find the right words as he continued to pump his shaft into her core. His movements had become slightly less easy, perhaps that was simply due to her own current gravity. She also took an opportunity to look at her face and note the clearing of her own skin the brightening of her eyes... her form seemed to be upgrading. In looking around even with slightly dizzy sight, she was witnessing the movement of mana as that dense fog she'd exhaled. It was colorful to her.

At the same time, Sakura had received a toast, which involved a drink being poured down her throat. She was acutely aware of Hiruko's eyes on his person, she as also fairly certain he'd noticed some sort of oddity in her behavior but he'd not mentioned it at all. "Well, I did say I'd accept anything you gave me, but I didn't mean to cut you out at all~" she said teasingly. Of course, it was now her turn to get a thorough look at him while he swallowed his own drink, her eyes once again finding themselves on that mark on his neck. It was quite interesting to see up close, but she imagined her Inmon was also interesting for people who saw it for the first time. Whenever he finished this drink she was pouring her, she'd remove the cup from in front of his lips and press hers against his. Such lip service was pretty common between them and she thought there was no better way to conclude their toast.

[Bloodedge]

Kazu wasn't going crazy. Miko mentioned again the existence of multiple voices in her head, each belonging to some other entities who sought unification of some sort. That was rather intense, Kazu thought. Having dealings with Miko alone would mean having a full harem of some size... and Kazu was already en route to having one now. Alas, that wouldn't stop his intentions. Even if those other versions of Miko wanted to converge, he was quite interested in seeing what they brought to the table as individuals first. "That's... kind of sad, isn't it? If they're cool, they shouldn't just meld in without living. Even if a shared body's not the best route, there has to be a way to enjoy things, right?" he wondered aloud. Whatever the case, everyone deserved acknowledgement at least. As he buried himself deeper into Miko's womb, Kazu found himself searching deeper into her soul, whether intentional or not. "Wait, so the one you're talking about now... can she hear me in there? Hajimemashite!" he said just in case it was heard/acknowledged.

According to Konomi, she could see a lot ─ and even feel it. She was obviously making some rapid progress toward becoming something powerful, even as she lost control over herself due to drunkenness. Perhaps inebriation would only make things better due to how drastic the shift was? Well, it made no difference to Soma. He wasn't continuing for any helpful reason. At this point, one could say Soma just enjoyed plowing the former store clerk and seeing her lose herself. While Konomi viewed herself in the mirror, Soma's face was once again right there in plain sight, glowing eyes and all. "Feel the power? Or do you mean something else?" he teased.

Hiruko fully believed Sakura would take all he offered. It was actually something he found refreshing ─ having someone accept his gifts without questioning their extravagance too heavily. The idea that she'd keep him included as well, was a boon. "You could if you wanted to. Make your own decisions, even if the decision involves betraying me. I'll always get what I want in the end," he assured. A cup of sake was poured into his mouth, but things soon became about something other than the cup. Sakura claiming his lap as a chair had great purpose as she canceled any space between their lips. In that moment, she'd find Hiruko's lips just slightly parted. Perhaps she'd also find that his sip hadn't been entirely swallowed yet; quite a bit lingered in his mouth still.

Miko was certain Kazuhiko wasn't going crazy. At the very least, he wasn't the first to fully recognize one of the voices in her head as aligned but separate from herself. That being said, Miko was individually several people with varying personalities with a few shared interests and types of things they enjoyed. She might have been more worried about that, but after her odd dream and coming to terms with Kazuhiko she didn't truly consider this particular oddity anything to worry about. Speaking of that oddity, Kazuihiko thought it sad that they were sharing so much and trying to converge without fully living. "I mean... I consider us all to be a united front, when I realized I was shutting them out, I let them them in instead, giving allowing all the voices not just my own, though I hear them all as mine here," she prefaced about the nature of Gaia as non-magical. "When they are ready I don't intend to stop them from doing anything... but the only time I've ever seen us all together is in my dreams," she said of the grouping within her mind. All of her most present selves existed and interacted within her dream space and through her music, she supposed if that was possible so was anything else. As he buried himself further into her womb, one of those little happy notes slipped out of Miko's mouth her body tightening against his tool as he worked himself into her depths. "Ooh♪~" she sounded off initially. "I think so... she's probably the most present one as she was originally my protector... though she was apparently sleeping before," she said wistfully. Ah, but she wasn't sleeping here. No, for as long as she'd been on Gaia, trying to divert her attention away from Kazuhiko, this one had been awake. And maybe for even longer than that, as those in the know would find, that little flicker in Miko's eyes to be most responsive under direct questioning. Now for instance, that little light flickered like a candle in Miko's eyes. She'd been showing herself to a couple of people on this planet for quite a while. 'Of course we can hear you. We're waiting for you to want to hear us!~' that voice in Miko's head sounded like her own but it reminded her more of the quiet shining figure in her own head.

At the same time, Konomi was having a look at herself in the mirror. She felt like a lush in the present moment, a bit too intoxicated for normal thoughts or actions. That much was at least obvious given the fact that she was still physically responding to being plowed, even though she seemed to be concentrating more on her recently enhanced senses. All of hers had gotten more than a minor upgrade and sensation and sight were increased enough that it was taking more brainpower than her drunk self could manage to process the situation. "Eh? You're teasing..." she muttered as she looked into the mirror and made eye contact with the lad. She could see those glowing eyes even clearer now, they were eerie but inviting, no wonder she hadn't been able to say no. "Eto, my senses have been enhanced but I also just feel wasted..." she observed. "At least the world isn't spinning," she mumbled. Normally when she felt this intoxicated, she ended up bent over a toliet barfing her guts out.

Still, Sakura was being offered more of Hiruko's understanding of life. He claimed that she could cut him out, or even betray him if she wanted to, that he'd get what he wanted in the end. That was such an interesting thing for him to say. "That method of thinking is almost demonic," she mused in a teasing way. Of course, she meant it, in absolution, but she was sure this world didn't acknowledge demons properly either after her dealings with Ryohei, so she'd simply say that and move on. At the same time, she was given a bit more to process about Hiruko's personality as she took his words to mean that she didn't have to feel stressed about holding herself to anything specific when dealing with him nor did she need to endanger herself to protect him or his interests. At least, that was how she took such words. There was a kiss shared between them that ended with a bit more sake entering her mouth through Hiruko's parted lips. She'd experienced something like this a few days prior, but just the same was enjoying it beyond reason. She wouldn't be pulling away until she allowed her tongue to explore and lap within that space quite a bit.

Kazu would be learning a little more about Miko's... tenants. The specific one they were discussing sounded like something he may have seen before, but he couldn't recall in the moment. Perhaps Kazu would have had more of his mind ready to do so if he wasn't presently climbing into Miko's womb and squelching about within. Such a discussion was much more productive during the moments between rounds. Oh well; it was still good to start and keep a distraction. Kazu did see that twinkle again, and wondered if that form was actually sleeping. "Sleeping huh? Doesn't look like sleep to me now," he mused. Sadly, there were no more obvious signs of that entity after his greeting. "Sou ka. I thought I could get a two-for-one right now. Maybe not? I'll keep an ear open; I think meeting what I just imagined would be awesome," he commented.

Teasing was not a major part of Soma's identity, but it seemed he couldn't help himself in the moment. Konomi took note of the way he spoke without feeding much into it. That, however, only made things more amusing for the lad. She did have some specifics to offer. She was intoxicated once more, as he could already tell. The world wasn't spinning, though; that had to be a good sign. "If it's not spinning, you should be able to move. So... move," he demanded. In that moment, Soma rather abruptly extricated himself from Konomi's loins and released her wrists. What she chose to do with that change of pace, was something he'd be watching intently.

All the while, Hiruko was having the most relaxed time of all. A moving tour boat, a dazzling girl in his lap, and the taste of sake flavoring a kiss ─ those things made a wonderful morning in unison. He tasted Sakura's tongue when it invaded his mouth. In doing so, the taste of sake became bolstered with a cherry flavor he was becoming even more acquainted with over time. Whenever Sakura decided the time had come to pull away, she wouldn't be allowed much distance. No, Hiruko would already have an arm wrapped around her waist to keep her in close proximity. She chose to occupy his lap; he chose to keep her there for the foreseeable future. With their lips eventually parting by Sakura's decision, those unusual eyes of Hiruko's stared, lidded, into her face. "What, leaving already?" he asked cheekily.

The distraction caused by conversation, also allowed Miko to keep better track of the multitude of things going on in her own head. The chaos of her mind, found quiet in very few instances, but, in the middle of coitus was one of them, more often than not. "She doesn't sound sleep either," Miko said, that voice, that stray thought she'd just heard had to be that particular entity. She hadn't been very pushy in her head up to this point, but she was very firm about what she liked and disliked by Miko's own understanding. "She said she's waiting for you to want to hear her..." Miko asserted more than willing to pass along that message, as the light in her eyes remained concentrated and flickered. 'He can have a two for one, if he really wants. He can make it so!~' that voice in Miko's head mentioned making her realize that she could likely be freed the same way Sinais was, though that had been very terrifying for Anais, Miko could only see fairness in that version of herself speaking the same way. "If you want to talk to her directly you can... if you release her you can let her talk though me, my darker self can do so already, it'd only be fair at this point," Miko asserted. She'd be as fair to herself as she was to everyone else, which likely would mean yet another person influencing her speech. Still the depth Kazuhiko had within her core was something which was worth paying a bit more attention to than normal, actually, now that she was thinking about it, this position was one which her other self seemed to like given her choices within the dream they'd shared.

Soma had chosen to tease Konomi and the girl to her credit had managed not to fall into it. In fact, she was trying to put together the pieces of that conversation and managing a few real observations. Upon learning that the world wasn't spinning, she was unceremoniously freed from penetration and released. With her wrists free she caught herself against the mirror and stood on slightly shaky legs. When told to move, she figured a positional change was in order, well... there was something she wanted to see a bit more, now that she had a better understanding. She took a moment to look at herself in the mirror and get a feel for her body. She cupped whole handfuls of her own chest and smirked at herself in the mirror. She'd presented herself the first time, she supposed now was a good time to approach instead. If she'd been thinking a bit more, she might have wondered why there wasn't a fountain worth of jizz leaking out of her core, but instead she found herself standing in front of Soma with her chest pressed against his abdomen for just a moment before she hopped into his arms positioning herself over his cock while clinging to him directly. Directions unclear, she now wanted to look him in the face, that was her newest decision.

At the same time, Sakura would find herself being held in Hiruko's lap more firmly than her initial slip had suggested. She'd kissed him for a few moments and enjoyed the taste of his mouth and the sake within. What was that flavor that his mana had? She still couldn't place it. Beyond that by the time she separated their faces and found herself trapped within his grasp she found herself truly unready to leave his clutches. If not by her own actions then by his lidded eyes with their interesting colors and the cheeky words. "Iia, I was just having a look and wondering what that tastes like. It's interesting how much the flavor changes just with a kiss, no?~" she said in a fashion which was almost teasting but... the truth of that sort of thing was way more direct than Hiruko could currently have.
