<Nocturnal Harmonia>

[Bloodedge]

Once again, there was a casual conversation happening in the midst of battle. So casually were they discussing Fairy Tail and its pivotal characters, with Miko sharing an opinion she believed was simple... but Yugi knew otherwise. "You're assuming a lot of wrinkles in the brains of others. Most people in the fandom expect Sasuke to be the secret final boss, after Azazel," Yugi shared. "All I know is, if Aine's gonna stay mad at him forever, I'm almost in position to be a viable upgrade. I get the feeling they're due for a hate-fuck though," he added. As for the matter of another character, namely Chrysaor from a different series, matching opinions would not be shared. "No comment. I'll just leave you whatever freaky opinion you're talking about."

The mention of Kaiba's Mobile Trace System did settle nicely in Miko's mind, triggering a memory. That project didn't end well. It was canceled for human reasons, even though most knew how intensely Kaiba Seto tested his products. How anyone important actually found out what that man was doing, was a total mystery of its own. Either way, Miko's mind was on the right track. Yugi totally intended to fight the golem with that partial skeleton... if it could be called a fight. "It would have been good if it went through. But anyway, yeah. I'm gonna give it some advice!" he exclaimed, now having the golem's attention in a more aggressive way, even as knights and the like were afraid and backing away. When the golem charged, Yugi sent that one skeletal arm toward its torso with a mighty punch. Of course, it was only to be paired with one thing. "GET'CHO PAPER UP!" Yugi shouted, his actual left arm outstretched the moment Abyssal Frame's fist collided with the golem's chestplate. Black Flash did indeed activate through the contact, surging through the golem's torso and exploding at the other side. The advancement had been halted entirely, but time would tell if actual damage had been done.

[Apollymi]

Miko was finding out that her brand of hyper-reactive thought was apparently alone in a positive way. According to Yugi, she was making the assumptions about how many wrinkles existed in the brains of those who read 'Fairy Tail'. "Why would they think that? It's obvious Sasuke isn't actually a bad guy. Hell, I think Azazel might not even be that bad a guy, someone that hot can't be all bad!" Miko said giving it a fair bit of thought and horniness to her considerations. As for the thought about the Aine x Sasuke ship, Miko had a slightly different but still similar thought process. "Yeah, they're definitely up for some questionable scenes together I am sure. I always thought that the odd relationship between Naruto and Sasuke was only really bridged by Aine, especially with the BL fight that lost them their dominant hands," Miko asserted. Casual conversations between this pair would be noted by their still present audience. Makima had started a short list of things she'd not heard of before and was planning to look into them so these references could be understood more easily. "That's fine, my Greek logic gets really iffy in the middle," Miko agreed. She had an entire rant to push forward about Greeks and acceptable fun of the sexually fluid. Ah, but it didn't really matter to their point, they were still engaging with a golem and keeping the riff-raff at a minimum.

The mention of a government stopped Kaiba Corp product it seemed that Yugi was well on his way to making something interesting. "Kaiba-sama probably didn't actually stop working on it... it would be nice to have something like that to play~" Miko claimed. "Until then though... this is a gonna be awesome, a bit of fiscal advice for the golem is good♪" Miko chirped. she then watched as Yugi used his new skeletal barrier to actually use black flash on the golem. "Squee♪!~" Miko sang as as more vibrations rang out and she found herself waiting. Well, she wouldn't be waiting too long. A few seconds were all it took for the girl to hip up and punch the creature at the same time, "Getcho paper up!♪~" the girl threw her whole body into the black flash she used. She was smaller, but that hit would be concise on top of the other one.

[Bloodedge]

"Sama?" That was the only question Yugi had in regards to Miko's words about one Kaiba Seto. She really made a habit of revealing her 'submissive and breedable' side in the most innocuous moments. Whatever the case, their effort against the second golem was a combined one to great effect. Yugi's Black Flash to the golem's torso managed numerous times the amount of damage he would have been capable of initially. By the time he registered the damage done, there was only a brief moment to see the hole through the golem's torso before Miko's strike toppled it entirely. One more golem down, others to go. "That's two! I'm going straight for the other Hollow Magician! Let's not make the next one too ridiculous!" he suggested, extending that skeletal arm outward to swat away a group of knights. He only had so much time before use of this Skill drained most of his mana.

When the third golem was summoned minutes later, Yugi found himself in need. Ten minutes of combat ensued, and Yugi found the skeletal structure fading bit by bit. It had done its job quite well... but Yugi wasn't done making use of it yet. As such, the Abyssal Frame's final moment came with a mad dash toward the golem. "Hit me with that jelly!" he said, intending to slip beyond this golem's swinging arm before restoring Abyssal Frame with renewed mana. A Black Lightning slam to the top of its head would topple the beast just as [LEVEL UP!] appeared for the Players yet again.

[Apollymi]

As they moved away from fantasy tales and more into known names of the modern era, Miko made her odd self know in a rather innocent way. Kaiba Seta was essential the 'young lord' of a multi-billion yen corporation and not just a board member or a 'nepo baby' no... he was a high tier developer of goods and ideas. "Hai♪!~ He's definitely one of the best creative minds of our era. His innovations aren't to be questioned and he didn't just accept a position in his father's company he took it by force and made it better. He single-handedly creates some of the best and most convenient technology of the modern era and Kaiba Corp doesn't put out a bad product," Miko said a minor rant ensuing, as her admiration of one Kaiba Seto wasn't merely superficial. He may not have been one of her absolute obsessions but he'd at least gotten a couple of way too thorough internet searches. Regardless of her mental tirades, there was a battle to take care of. And they seemed to be doing quite well. A big attack from Yugi's newest developed feature and a follow up by herself seemed all that was necessary to topple the golem most recently summoned. "Hell yeah♪!~" Miko agreed.

With the toppling of that golem there was no need to wait. He was going for the next Hollow Magician she'd make sure to be part of the next go round as well. She'd be adjusting her use of Kyoka Suigetsu, making she that she could help easily when the next golem rose. A quick tag when necessary as she took out archers and the like to keep herself safe from distant attacks, she'd be running by the slap the lad's chest with a touch to transfer that bit of Jelly to him. "There are you good to go or are you gong to need some more? I could technically snatch some more energy off the Knights and such if I do a quick sneak around. And I don't have to drain them to death to get enough for another jelly, if the group is big enough♪~" Miko offered the ability to technically keep them going even without directly summoning Tae. While she heard the call of another level from the System's Voice in her head, Miko wondered how many of the creatures they'd managed to take out. She'd continue on in such a way, tapping and disabling quite a few knights in the exchange so that she could make another couple of blocks of jelly as time went on. She'd definitely be able to continue feeding Yugi energy to keep up shi defense, and with her own going, survival seemed... plausible as they worked down to the last of the mages in the group.

[Bloodedge]

Minor obsessions with the young entrepreneur Kaiba Seto aside, Yugi wondered if those innovations had translated into this world of Hunters and monster-slaying equipment. If they did, it would be worth looking into. Here and now though, focus remained primarily on felling another golem. Miko darted by, tapping his chest and restoring his mana just in time to allow that ebony lightning slam to the golem's head. A few moments later, there was no head left on that creature. "Good hustle. I'll call in healing when fatigue hits 74%," he said, not wanting to deal with that debuff at all.

It was only five or ten minutes after that when another, stronger golem was upon them. With his own Fatigue at 80% or so, Yugi was finally able to fall back enough to call upon Takemi Tae. He'd been beaten down just a bit ─ enough to show some cuts and bruises for moments between Abyssal Frame's use. A bit of mana depletion wasn't too bothersome, but he did want to continue using Abyssal Frame. "You know, this would be the ideal use of a nursing handjob!" he said just after pressing the summon button in the System display. "Well, maybe the handjob part is asinine, but why the hell not? I'd still get more mana than I lost, guaranteed!"

[Apollymi]

Kaiba Seto would definitely be a target route worth pursuing. Miko couldn't think of a world where the man wouldn't immediately become one of the top innovators, by idea alone. Perhaps that would be worth asking about... until that could happen. Still, Miko was managing her hustle properly, enough to get a congratulatory statement. Apparently, there was a plan to call in healing when fatigue hit a high enough point. "Hai hai, mine is going to probably be lower than yours for a while yet, you can take first healing, and I'll run diversion the first session♪!~" Miko agreed. Well, in this case, she'd trust him to pick it back up once he rejoined the fray and she didn't have to feel like a stuck healer nor an underprepared fighter.

Some time later after another felled golem, Tae was popping in again, to see a bruised and slightly battered Yugi, and a rough looking Miko as well. Though they were still alive, they were obviously both running low on Mana and in need of a bit of care. "A nursing hand job is fine and all but you're late calling me back!" Tae asserted for the pair. "You look like you've been though a light blender and your mana is depleting rapidly, and you... look like something S-rank attacked your whole reddened ass, which is exposed by the way, cute thong though," Tae mentioned to Miko who paused and looked at her and started freaking out. "WAAAAHH♪~ No, no... I'm fine... that was a fun thing not... well... arigatou." Miko paused looking sheepish as a quick pulse of her mana had her using Kyoka Suigetsu again leaving Yugi and Tae unseen by the majority of the enemies while she flicked her skirt out of her thong. "Omen-kun could have told me my ass cheeks were out!" Miko chided her face pouty and red from embarrassment. As for the actual use of something like a nursing handjob, Tae didn't have any issues with it if they were safe for the most part. "Assume the position, we don't have a lot of time if you want to go about it this way I can still heal you at the same time... " Tae mentioned willing to go along with the childish whims of the lad in question. "Oh and there isn't much waste to worry about either, just tell me when I'll show up for snacks♪!~" Miko said knowing she'd easily come get anything expelled directly from Yugi's body. And with that a nursing handjob might be able to start or whatever other oddity was happening this day.

[Bloodedge]

Interestingly enough, the summoning of Tae came with no immediate distaste for Yugi's topic of choice. "Fuck yeah! I knew you'd gone full dommy-mommy at some point!" he exclaimed. Before anything came of that, however, Tae pointed out something he'd been keeping silent about for a long time: the exposed state of Miko's reddened ass. Of course he could have told the girl, as Miko herself said... but why the hell would he do that? "You could have also just noticed. Why the fuck would I tell you to fix the thing I've been using as motivation this whole time?" he countered. That aside, Yugi was told to assume the position for healing and... satisfaction. He didn't have to be told twice. Yugi was stretching himself across Tae's lap posthaste, mouth and erection both at the ready by the time Miko shared a wonderful idea. "Great use of resources! Fuck yeah! I'll give you a err... signal tap~" he warned.

And so, Yugi would commit himself to anywhere between five and ten minutes for a full recovery. In that time, he did indeed have his mana restored from one of the best possible sources: straight from the teat. A bit of chamomile tea was worth drawing from 'human' breasts, he decided. As for the signal tap he spoke to Miko about, it would be made abundantly clear when Tae worked him up by whatever means she'd decided. Of course, it was no simple tap... but instead a long-ranged slap on the ass using Ruler's Hand, performed in the final seconds of buildup as he drew from Tae's bosom with more vigor ─ if only to keep as much mana as possible by the end. Beyond all of that, there was yet another [LEVEL UP!] from the System during the wait.

[Apollymi]

Tae was acknowledged as going full dommy-mommy at some point. If anything she saw it as more a return to her usual antics. "Well, you are made it easy," she said almost casually. At the same time, a minor disagreement was occurring between the Players. Yugi had been using Miko's bottom in her disheveled state as motivation, while Miko herself hadn't noticed how off her clothing was. "I thought it was just moving too fast. I have too much stuff going on for common sense stuff right now! Though if it counts as motivation I guess it didn't hurt anything..." Miko ended up thinking all the way to the end. Would she rather her whole butt not just randomly be out? Sure... but it wasn't even the first time it'd happened in the last 10 hours or so... she couldn't be upset really. Whatever the case, Yugi would be receiving his nursing handjob, Miko would be receiving snacks and a signal tap to tell her when.

A passage of time happened and during that time period, Miko was stepping around and doing a small bit of damage control. Quite a few knights had their lives drained low and archers were being taken out with pulses around the battlefield with the catalyst. Of course, in the meantime Tae had been giving that casual handjob. She'd been among the first to discovered the oddities of the human body as they awakened. She knew that Mana could come from breasts and with the lad's confirmation of flavorings and the like she was certain he was healing, she could tell while she gave the handjob and performed mana surgery. In fact, the tool itself was pretty good as a point of study, and she couldn't not enjoy herself as well. She could feel the tightening in his cock as her hand moved and then she heard it. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYEEE♪!~" a chirping noise echoed around and the fall and vibration of multiple knights and high knights happened as Miko's ass was slapped from a distance. Miko turned to join and would be ready to take the load to her mouth while Tae was left in charge of his cock. The level up, occurred and Miko was now at the lad's fore mouth open a little wink at Tae waiting for the snack she wanted. "Oh, this wasn't just a euphemism huh?" Tae thought, but she'd still make sure the girl got what she came for.

[Bloodedge]

By the time Yugi reached a state of satisfaction from Tae's hand and the relaxing flow of her mana, that ranged slap to Miko's ass had her darting right over. Tae herself seemed surprised that the Players meant their exchange wholly and truly, but that didn't appear to change a thing. Her effort would continue, as would his suckling. Whether it was a matter of aim or one of Miko taking things into her own hands (or more accurately, mouth), didn't matter to Yugi. He would spare no effort in releasing a surge while taking the last he needed from Tae's breast. The doctor's mana was still significantly greater than his own, so it was easy to end at 99% even after a single swallow following ejaculation. Maybe he drew a bit roughly in that same moment, but... it had long since become obvious that Tae had no issues with such things.

Once he was topped-up and healed, Yugi was hopping right back up. Abyssal Frame was brought back with gusto. This time, there was a spine and a right arm added to the structure as Tae's Cursed Seal spread about 20%. By the end of formation, there was even a skull present, featuring barely-formed horns and a pair of glowing golden eyes. "Tagging in. I feel even stronger now. This seal's way better than it was the first time. Doctor's touch, I guess~" he mused as two spectral hands entered a grapple lock with the latest golem. As much of a struggle as it was to maintain, Yugi had full freedom of movement within Abyssal Frame. With that being the case, he called upon his chokuto while wearing the smuggest of grins. "And two arms? Oh, I'm gonna fuck everything up♥~" he growled.

[Apollymi]

Yugi was being worked over by hand. In this case, she didn't mind the bit of aggression applied to sucking on her breast and she did get to see something rather interesting. Miko popped over at the right time and Tae's hand was stroking the lad and when Miko's mouth opened, the girl would be bringing her lips up to the spout and she found her mouth filled and her throat moving to swallow the expulsion. "Aaah~" the noise that escaped Tae in this moment was almost just as much relief as the lad was feeling before he hopped up. He hit his proverbial higher tier, and in so doing switched out seemingly of his own accord. No matter what, Yugi was now on the move claiming the Doctor's touch had helped him out a bit. "Yeah, yeah... have fun," Tae claimed. At the same time, Miko was settling in for healing instead. "I could also take some milk... might not have had enough yet. You know... I'm a growing girl♪~" Miko chirped. Which only made Tae chuckle a bit. "Yeah, that tracks... come on, we'll get you sorted out too," Tae claimed and Miko settled in for healing and nursing. Using an overflow of mana to begin the spell Megiddo and having her body healed and her mana restored.

In the passing five to seven minutes, Miko found herself fully charged and relaxed in a way she'd not expected to be. When she popped up, Megiddo was active in the sky and she was bursting with energy. Another huge, another golem was soon up. She had some time so she hopped up into the fray taking on the next golem with a shout. "SQUUUUEEEE♪!~" she sounded off and it rebounded in the area. At the same time Tae was getting up and fixing her clothes and seeing one of those creatures had been felled by the lad her last five or so minutes could be spent doing something. "Eh? Do you two need actual assistance with these?" she said wondering if the pair were actually in need of legitimate assistance.

[Bloodedge]

In about five minutes, Yugi eliminated that golem that Abyssal Frame had been struggling with, using a mix of his sword, lightning, Bloodlust and Black Flash. In that same five minutes, another Hollow Magician fell, and another golem rose. The last one was difficult enough. If they had to deal with a few more, it wouldn't end well. Miko's shout to mark her official return came just in time to let Yugi parry the golem's arm with Abyssal Frame's left ulna. A skeletal right fist swung in the golem's direction added more recoil, but only managed to drive this golem back.

Golems weren't going to fall so easily moving forward. So long as that was the case, Yugi would accept any legitimate help that came along. Tae asked if they needed assistance. The golem's returning fist clashed against that of Abyssal Frame, shattering constructed bone all the way to the elbow. Yugi could restore that, but at a cost. "Could probably use more than assistance. If I could call in an S-rank Healer-Fighter to pull some overtime, you'd be here for the next two hours!" Yugi assured.

[Apollymi]

Yugi managed to take down the golem that was summoned around the same time as his separation. It seemed a bit of a tougher fight, but a combination of skills toppled it without the same sort of difficulty they'd face when fighting Igris. Even so... Miko re-entered combat in time to be a bit helpful, but she also had to shift attention back to herself. She was doing so to give a bit of a break and encourage a bit more time for straight aggression against the creature. At the same time, Yugi was claiming that Tae could and should take on something, which made a small smile come to her face. "Hai hai, I guess I can offer you two a break. You did wait a really long time before summoning me again..." she said casually heading towards the creature using Miko's skill as cover.

Once she was close enough she hopped up, even after giving a large quantity of her mana to the pair she seemed to be unhindered when she aimed for direct contact with the creatures head. The Epidemic Surge skill had quite a bit of usefulness, and as her hand was coated in a poisonous looking aura the contact seemed to make the place she touched on the creatures head begin to corrode. When that happened Tae seemed to draw back, and begin punching that same spot repeatedly taking advatage of the weakness created to continue her current activity. Just the same Miko had appeared nearby Yugi to watch the work of the good Doctor. "Sou ka, we really actually need to get our paper up. She's having such an easy time with that...it has to be out-leveling us by now... which means those last two mages are going to be a pain in the ass..." the brunette asserted. Still, if Tae was going to take a few minutes to handle the lightwork, Miko would begin searching for the next mage, and quietly marking it with her catalyst so she'd know where it was when the golem fell. Tae for her point in this took about 3 minutes to corrode the head of that creature down to nothing while striking it repeatedly without extreme strength but still enough to do some form of damage.

[Bloodedge]

And so, Tae's assistance led to the very easy defeat of another golem. Two remained, but Tae was not present for the pair. Clearly the Players weren't in S-rank territory yet. Yugi would say the golems were, but on the lower end as of that previous one. The penultimate golem had to wait. Too many knights, assassins and archers were piling up when the likes of Kaguya and Ren were called upon again, only leading into the next golem in time for its summoning and a bit of the fight. They could not fell the creature this time. Another forty minutes passed in total, with Tae's summoning required once more for healing and the completion of another golem. And then... there was one mage left.

That last Hollow Magician threw everything it had at the Players and the singular S-rank Concubine. There were barriers thrown, assassin hiding techniques used as support, and every knight in the room was forced into berserker state. There was no room for error, but also no room for breathing. By the time Tae was at the end of her final minute, they only had one option left. "Goddamnit! I don't think holding out for Red is gonna work here. Go for Blue; we're clearing this bitch today!" he shouted. Yugi was back to using that Cursed Seal, now at 50% advancement or so. Abyssal Frame wasn't active presently... but he knew it would be soon. "It's gonna suck, but... if nothing else, I think we can survive with just the last golem in here. You down?"

[Apollymi]

Tae's assistance led to a very specific outcome. She managed to down another golem before it was time for a switch. A long time passed after that, which felt like ages. Kaguya and Ren were summoned back to help with the masses, and then Tae came back for healing, but wasn't able to stay fully for help with the last golem to spawn. Some unnecessarily sneaky Hollow Magician decided that death was not something it wanted to experience. It tried harder than any individual should just to make sure it would live as long as possible.

By the time the Players were discussing their options it was that singular mage's fault that they didn't have enough fire power for the definite S-rank threat. Miko hadn't felt quite so challenged since the Riverglass Phantom. "Hai, switching titles," Miko said, going from her 'Taboo Indulger' title to 'Untouchable Favorite'. In so doing that feeling of Mana Reversal seemed to thump a bit like it recognized exactly where it'd come from. She began preparing to use Blue - Attraction Vortex to help clear the masses while her giving it the proper amount of time. As for Yugi's suggestion of survival over everything, Miko would easily agree to his plan. "It's gonna be a bitch but I didn't get strong enough to fuck Go-sei properly to die to a freaky franken-golem... let's do it!♪~" Miko chirped. One hand out she felt her mana coursing thorugh her body and felt the pull begin. "BLUE ATTRACTION VORTEX♪~" Miko chirped out with a pull which caused berserker Knights, assassins, archers and the like to be pulled into each other damaging themselves and each other as Miko's power aimed to crush and harm them as well. In so doing she even managed to catch the Hollow Magician who... despite all their trying... couldn't hold out against the attractive force. And even while it tired to, Miko also activated her own form of blue, bringing it's attention to her, and adding to the attractive force that would pull and kill it.

[Bloodedge]

There were no options remaining. It seemed that final mage was essentially immune to death while other enemies remained in the job-change quest domain. Considering how the Hollow Magicians' deaths unlocked the golems, it made sense... but that made it no less annoying to Yugi. Their best bet would be Miko using Blue to wipe out everything left. Indeed, that was Yugi's thought and Miko's eventual decision, as she gathered everything in sight and everything out of sight. Knights, archers, invisible assassins, and even that final Hollow Magician were all dragged into the Skill.

[LEVEL UP!]
[LEVEL UP!]

As the remaining enemies died in that vortex, the Players received that last little push over one level... and enough experience to register the level after. The golem would be appearing shortly, boasting the combined power of everything they'd fought thus far ─ bar the Blood-Red Commander, Igris. Ah, but they were also still being watched. A phone call through the System hadn't ended for the past three hours or so. Makima's phone remained active, and Gojo Satoru... had left briefly, returned with a bag of chips for snacking purposes, and done so in time to hear an interesting claim from the likes of Miko. "Strong enough to what?" he asked, seemingly interested enough to lean toward the screen over Makima's shoulder. "Fuck that; I'm not dying either! I want that fucking treat!" Yugi added. One chip hung from Gojo's mouth as he leaned further and continued prodding. "You should have died a few hours ago. Well... you're definitely gonna die now. I can't even tell what's going on in there, but basic math says you guys don't have the stuff for that next one. Say, what's that whole Concubine thing mean anyway?"
