<Nocturnal Harmonia>

[Bloodedge]

"Yep. Can't go wrong with purple," Yugi agreed. So easily had he moved on from the topic of Miko's Skill, believing it wasn't anything worth true concern. Some random pleb would have encountered issues related to its potential developments, but it was worthwhile to have a bit of actual faith in the brunette. Well... her abilities were worth some faith at least. There was no salvation for the girl as she openly flirted with a Shadow Soldier who couldn't even speak, however. "At this point, why don't you just tell him to whip his shadowy dick out? We all know you're gonna do it eventually... if Shadows even have dicks," Yugi asserted as he sent the centipedes off to handle the open field.

A quick showing of Ai's latest photo had Miko praising her own ability to choose friends. Yugi had to admit, she was now two-for-two on choices he'd absolutely fold into pretzels. "Can't call it a lie yet," he concurred. "Anyway, she's en route now. Shop," he said to open a System display for both Players to peruse, heading straight for available base structures that had some... rather steep increases in price. "... This is gonna suck," the lad decided. Each building was looking significantly better than the last to Yugi. It seemed they might only be stopped by their current budget by the end of a search.

[Apollymi]

"Chii♪~" Miko had an excited little chirp escape her lips. Purple was one of her favorite colors, and if Yugi enjoyed seeing it on her, she'd not resist her odd compulsion to dress in it. No, she'd freely act strange and not worry too much about the consequences. Beyond the oddity of her clothing choices, there was her choice in activities. They had easily abandoned the conversation about her skill's shift and instead would be found discussing, her flirting with Blood-Red Commander Igris. "Look, I can't just have someone whipping the meat out when I'm not sure what's going on. I'm not ready to see something ridiculous again today. Also, I'm not taking any sass from you, when you definitely raised a shadow just because she'd been hot as a human♪!~" Miko chided crossing her arms over her chest and puffing out her cheek in pure pouty ability.

Still they had other things to do. With Ai on her way to them, she could be excited and a little self-indulgent given her friends were top-tier individuals. "Of course you can't♪!~ " Miko seemed to be easily amused. Beyond that point they were soon looking through the shop together waiting on Ai's arrival. "Hai♪~" Miko said about that confirmation. Still there was something else, much more jarring in store. The idea that they were currently looking at buildings which could be placed but would definitely cost most of their current savings. "Hm, it looks like we can afford the highest tier one, which also looks the best... but, it'd cost most of our current funding. We definitely wouldn't be able to furnish it. But that could be the group project..." Miko said while pointing to it. "But if we downgrade one we'd want to upgrade, and I don't know how easy that would be..." Miko said with a pouty face. And while creatures of shadow moved about doing things, a blonde lass came slipping through the forest, eventually ending up directly behind Miko with her large breasts resting atop her head, making the brunette relax. "Well, if you can't decide go big first," was the first thing out of her mouth as she produced that boba tea, took a sip and offered it to Miko. "Do you two know... that there's like basically a swat team descending around this place?~ Like if I hadn't entered from above this would have been really annoying~ Oh, and konbanwa~" the blonde lass was in full relaxed mode and seemingly a bit closer to the flightier side even with that visor clamped over her eyes even in the darkness. She'd reached the form of general casualness that seemed almost contradictory to how she'd been earlier, but was definitely in line with her texting.

[Bloodedge]

And so came another argument of sorts. Miko allegedly wouldn't demand the appearance of 'meat' without knowing what was going on first, and she wouldn't tolerate Yugi's yapping when he obviously rose a Shadow simply because it was previously an attractive woman. "How can you not be sure what's going on? Shadow Soldier, absolutely dedicated to the Shadow Monarchs, tall enough that he'd have more going than what I started with even if he's on the smaller side of proportions... And more importantly, there's one surefire way to find out!" he grumbled first. "And yeah, I revived random hot bitch #4. Definitely gonna hit that later when I'm bored, but I'm not gonna teeter around it either. If we'd stayed in that last bath, bitch would've been washing my back... and front."

On to the house shopping, it did seem there was only one worthwhile purchase... even though later options still looked even better. They'd be wasting their time without actually establishing a base here. "We could make it a project house. And we'd at least have a little bit of gold for some important furnishings. We already have a bed too, so that's probably fine," he rambled before looking into potential upgrade ability. "Hmm. It looks like we can transfer the interior to an upgrade, but we can't just do a trade-in and eat the difference. That's dumb... but fair," he decided. Just then, Ai made a very timely arrival... which involved her dropping some sizeable breasts right atop Miko's head as if they belonged there. She was also in favor of the most expensive house they could afford. Moreover, she warned about the 'security' being established around the forest. "Well, that's three votes," Yugi said while conspicuously lowering himself down to Miko's height. "She got on that pretty quick then. More excessive than what I was asking for, but whatever. We're already here. All eight of us... and the Shadows~"

[Apollymi]

The Players would argue quite a lot, and none of it appeared to be very serious. In this case, Miko wasn't currently trying to start the odd path of finding out what was going on in Igris's pants. Yugi ranted about the situation, ending with the idea that there was one surefire way to find out. "Look I know, I've got a lot more dick measuring experience this last couple of days and to be honest, he probably got something monstrous and I'm not emotionally ready to get tamed by Igris after he tossed me around like a ragdoll earlier," Miko asserted. "Well I mean I am, but I'm also a bit skittish right now. I'll do it when I'm ready. Also... I'm not judging, I was surprised it didn't happen earlier, but I'd also rather wait on boredom than cut myself out of a different experience. Especially given how much I like sounds and how much this one can't currently talk♪~" Miko asserted. Somehow it didn't make sense the idea that he couldn't talk. He gave off the vibes of the strong silent type, but those always spoke with measured tones when words finally left their mouth. Regardless, one thing was certain, the Players were perverts.

Beyond that point, they both seemed to agree that the house could be a long term project. Rome wasn't built in a day, and the Monarchs of Shadows had their empire coming together moothly, already. "Definitely, a few regular household items and the stuff for a kitchen and a bath and we'd be okay. Our bedroom would be furnished but if everyone else does one Dungeon they'd be able to furnish their own room as well," Miko said doing a bit of quick math in her own head. Still giant breasts were soon on top of Miko's head and she was being offered boba, so she'd sip, "Ai♪~ sen♪~, kon♪~ban♪~ wa♪~" Miko chirped her greeting. "Mi-tan~ Kage-tan~" Ai said giving the girl a little squeeze which Miko reciprocated, by grabbing her boob on the blind side while holding the cup out to Yugi as well, "You know we can see you, right? Also no squeezing~" Ai asked. Still, if he was going to lower himself that much she might as well greet him similarly... maybe even a little better since she actually preferred men. "Eh?~ Did I miss something how'd we get to eight? And do I even want to know why Kaicho is hanging out around you two... I feel like all this is a lot and it wasn't a thing yesterday," Ai questioned as she also walked up to rest her chest on top of Yugi's head.

[Bloodedge]

Degenerate intentions for the Players would remain clear for a very long time. It was currently clear what Miko intended with Igris, just as it was clear what Yugi intended with that female Shadow from the Dungeon Break return. Ah, but Miko considered Igris more of a 'later' undertaking after what he'd done to them during the Job-Change Quest. "You mean that's totally what you want, but you're acknowledging the fact that you've got shit to do," Yugi said to fully correct the girl's speech. Either way, they were both obviously awaiting the right time and place for their... exploration of the Shadow Soldiers. "So do you wanna plan a Shadow orgy?" Yugi wondered.

Alas, all things came with a chance for interruption. In this case, Ai had made her way to the Aokigahara Forest with incredible quickness to give her opinion on their house-in-progress. It seemed the Players had only one decision worth making, and there was no dissent on the matter. "The really good baths can get kinda pricey, but we could always just... have one built," he suggested. Shortly afterwards, Yugi's brow rose due to Ai's introduction. "Kage-tan?" he questioned, though he seemed more amused than opposed. Yugi had little else to say... at least until Ai humored his antics by moving to place her breasts atop his head. Yugi would have normally done something very similar to Miko, but as she'd done it already... he instead decided to reach back and grab the blonde by her legs, lifting her into a piggyback ride that involved his hands cupping beneath her rear. Of course, he'd also offer a response to her curiosities. "Three each for you two, two for me. Math," was his first answer. "And we're possibly the only two people in the world who can get stronger without a Second Awakening. Easy conclusions from there. Now... add to shopping cart!"

[Apollymi]

The Players were filthy degenerates and both of them had odd plans for the Shadow Army. Both Yugi and Miko had a target in mind for their sexual desires and both would likely do something about it, when the desire and timing lined up. Yugi felt the need to poke at and reword Miko's assertion, he wasn't wrong though, "I mean you aren't wrong, it definitely feels like the sort of thing I should save some time for♪~" Miko mused. Whatever the case it seemed that it wasn't just her who had some strange desires, Yugi asked about the planning of a Shadow orgy, "Yes, I mean... I want like a solo run first, but I feel like an orgy would be fun♪~" Miko confimed.

Ah but their special brand of perversion would be let to fall away as they were soon joined by someone else. Hayasaka Ai, was a friend of Miko's and a new Bondmate of Yugi's. They discussed the idea of building a bath instead of just purchasing one, and Miko could agree given their original plan. "I don't have as much say on that part, but if you can build it... baths are cool~" Ai decided. Miko for her part in it could only nod, "We could have big outdoor bath put together... for big community bathing. I assume some will want private baths in their rooms but... SKINSHIP♫~" Miko chirped. "We could even use our original plan from our training instance... you know kept warm clean water with slime extract..." Miko paused seeming to be thinking. At the same time Ai was humoring Yugi and calling him a new nickname. "Well, yeah, Kage-tan is good. I mean I know what your actual name is because research but I also understand why I can't just use it... but I'm too relaxed to keep track of all the fake names and stuff. That's why I chose Mi-tan's fake one the way I did..." Ai said, seeming to be light hearted about it. No matter, she was soon being lifted into a piggy back ride and would be wrapping her legs around the lad as a reflex. "WHEEE~ That's weird. You could have warned me..." she added as she felt his hands against her rear but didn't bother telling him to stop. As for his discussion of math she could only chuckle, "Uh-huh... just out there huh? That other bit makes sense... still a lot though, Mi-tan only gave me the quick and dirty about the situation and I had my own crazy night so I get it," she said seeming to be relaxed even though she was suddenly picked up. She was beginning to understand Miko's oddities and enjoyment of being small. But still there was excitement to be had... an addition to the shopping cart was taking place. "Chii♪!~" Miko chirped seemingly amused by their coming upgrade, she even stood herself in front of Yugi ready to see their new home go up.

[Bloodedge]

The Players' ability to decide on something insane, like an orgy with Shadow Soldiers, would likely be considered uncanny and unprecedented to most. Regardless, they wouldn't be kept from their deviant ways. Whenever they found some time, they'd undoubtedly be seeing what the Shadows were like outside of combat and manual labor. First, though... they'd experience things individually. "I'll also give it a shot alone. It wouldn't become super awkward that way," he decided. Before any of that, though, there was a conversation to have about their baths.

Having a bath built wouldn't be so bad. Yugi thought they could even use one of the cheaper models, upgrade it manually, and add their own twist to it. Miko brought up the Slime cores they had from that tutorial dungeon ─ something that felt like ages ago now. "Oh yeah! Slime bath would be an awesome idea. Even better if it's not trying to drain everything, but... that can probably be managed," he agreed. As for Ai and her nickname for the lad, he rather enjoyed it. "I don't mind. Edgy just the way I like it~" he claimed simply, moving on to lifting the blonde and getting quite a nice feel of her backside. She thought the lifting was weird, but he didn't hear any real complaints. "Ass in hand, tits on head, and no sass. Who's the weird one?" That question didn't seem to require an answer. In fact, Yugi moved right along to purchasing the most expensive building they could afford. Their gold count was reduced to a measly few thousand, but in exchange... Yugi was able to spawn a large, L-shaped mansion with a massive throne in place of its would-be courtyard. It looked gothic, two stories high with a deep purple glow leaking through its windows. A mysterious mist surrounded the obsidian building, appearing as a magical part of the structure itself. "Aaaand there. Most expensive purchase so far, and it better be worth it."

[Apollymi]

Agreements in deviance always came easy to the Players. They even seemed perfectly capable of thinking through contingencies and potential oddities where sexual things were concerned. "Yeah, we don't want our Shadow orgy to be awkward," Miko claimed with a straight forward earnestness. An with that such topics would be abandoned for the time to discuss their potential bath including slime cores. Miko was happy she remembered it, as the last few days felt like a blur but also like they'd been so long ago she couldn't believe it happened so quickly. "I wonder if it couldn't just be set to the same kind of cleaning as the shower and thus only feast on ick or something?" Miko offered.

Beyond the talks of the baths and the way they could be made, there was plenty to do. While Yugi held up Ai they spoke of his nickname which he apparently enjoyed. "Good to know, Kage-tan~" Ai mentioned as she held on seemingly amused by his antics. What was more he claimed that she was the odd one, in rhetorical fashion, she had no sass to offer him so she'd simply enjoy being carried around. While their new house went up. Soon enough Ai was amazed, "I mean even though it cost a lot, that's kind of awesome!~" she claimed. "Sugoi♪!~ Miko chirped. It looks like it'll be worth it!~" Miko claimed as she reached into their Inventory and pulled out the base core. "Look we can finally do it♪!~ Shall we, King of Shadows♪~" Miko offered with a cheeky smirk while holding up the object. that would allow them to choose this place.

[Bloodedge]

"Hmm. That depends on the slime, I think," Yugi pontificated. Siimes, as creatures, appeared in so many different ways throughout media. A certain few types could be used the way Miko thought. "If it's the kind that can follow a directive, yes. If it's the kind that becomes what it eats, which I hope is the case... then we'd just have to make sure it takes in the right stuff."

Soon enough, the building they would call home and a base of operations was established. It appeared with the ease of a hologram, but it was so very tangible. There wasn't so much as a shake in the ground as an entire castle was placed right in the middle of a cleared forest. Shadow Soldiers surrounded the Players and their palace while Miko retrieved the core they were meant to use for a base during the tutorial dungeon. Finally, the time had come. "You're damn right it's awesome! Fifteen, first house, and it's a fucking vampire mansion in the middle of a death forest in a world of epic magic shit!" Yugi said excitedly, nodding to Miko in the immediate aftermath. "At your leisure, Queen of Shadows! Claim that fucking base!" he exclaimed further. One would find an interesting thing happening when Miko activated the core. Igris, the Infantry and every other Shadow ─ even including the centipedes, spiders and ants ─ encircled the area to kneel in reverence.

[Apollymi]

The slime was apparently the concern over what kind of slime it was and what it could do. Miko thought that was fair enough. "What I remember of the original slime, says it's probably some kind of weird combination of both. Either way, we have a couple of those so we'd be able to test it out♪~" Miko sang the words happily. They could have an awesome and unique bath for their homestead. And given how much both of them enjoyed bathing that was far from a bad idea. Regardless they'd be moving past the oddity of that moment and on to something else. The Players had a lesser known quest awaiting them, one they completed but the extra conditions had gone unmet. Among the bowing circle of Shadows, Yugi claimed Miko could do the honors at her leisure. Hearing the pair talking to each other like that Ai chuckled. "Hehehe~ You two are cute together~" she decided. At the same time, Miko was taking that object and placing it in the middle of this space. In so doing a magical pulse spread and a magical barrier was erected in the clearing around the house for a more than sizable amount. What happened after would be rather interesting as a quest completion would pop.

[QUEST COMPLETE]

Base Establishment Quest
Status: Completed

The Base Core has been successfully activated.
A personal domain has been established.

Rewards:

• +10 Stat Points
• Domain Key (allows instant return to the base from anywhere)
• Base unlocked and fully functional

System Message:
The foundation has been laid.
Your domain now stands.
The shadows have a home.

A message Miko hadn't expected read out in her head. "Right, I forgot that was part of the quest. So it made us build one so we could claim a proper space later? Tutorials are always so weird~" Miko commented almost absently. Oh well... everything was fine. Speaking of fine things, Ai was completely relaxed from her perch, "Did you say only 15? Jeez... Kage-tan's got his whole life together~" she said, knowing quite a bit about the pair and their advances. But something they couldn't know for now, was that the concubines and other equivalent people also got a message from the System and their keys activated. Quite a few qualified, including Ren, Gojo, Tae, Makima, and Kaguya.

[CONCUBINE NOTICE — DOMAIN ESTABLISHED]

The Players have successfully established a base using the Base Core.

Your Concubine Key is now active.

You may now enter the Players’ private domain at any time.
The domain serves as a shared sanctuary and personal space between the Players and their Concubines.

System Message:
The key has awakened.
The domain awaits.

[Bloodedge]

Both Players agreed on the attempted use of a Slime core for their eventual bath. Yugi nodded along, figuring it would be fine even if the Slime was a bit... rapey, so to speak."I agree. And you can test it first because... well, we all know why you get to test it first," he decided. Once that base core was placed to erect a proper barrier around their new estate, the Players received a notification. Their very first quest had now been completed in all aspects. Yugi had also forgotten about that part, thinking it was simply a failure after they left the tutorial dungeon. "Damn. Quests last forever," he said, becoming quite pleased thereafter by 10 new points to allocate. "All going in Strength!" he decided.

Amamiya Ren and Gojo Satoru both received that Concubine notification from the System. In Gojo's case, he happened to be sitting in a bath with Makima at the time, enjoying a floating tray of sushi he'd brought from halfway across Tokyo. "Free room already? That's how you stack paper! I taught them everything they know!" Gojo boasted over a raised cup of sake. At the same time, Ren was holding onto his key and wondering if he shouldn't make use of it immediately. Ah, but those weren't the only two who had a key from Miko. One Akechi Rikuya was the first of Miko's routes to exceed 50%, but special conditions had him lacking a notification at the time. He had this one; however, he didn't have a clue what he was seeing. "A what for a what?" he wondered from his usual late-night hangout: Leblanc. That key was something he'd seen in his pocket the previous day. Now, it was something he could look at to see another readout... claiming its use would lead to an unknown home in Aokigahara Forest. How strange. Based on what he knew, there was a security team being mobilized to that area presently. Perhaps he'd have to investigate.

[Apollymi]

Both Players seemed to be fine with the idea of including a slime extract in their open air bath which they'd be having built at some point in the near future. Yugi even had the splendid idea of Miko being the one to test it when it was complete. "Slimes are actually real? And why Mi-tan?" Ai wondered from her perch. Miko shrugged and managed to look a bit embarrassed. "Slimes are real. Our first encounter before the Dungeons was with a slime colony which was posing as a lake..." Miko explained gently. "As for why it's me to try it... those were a bit rapey. They were trying to get all inside me and they ate all our clothes, and items, and tried to eat all my mana... but, after it wasn't super dangerous, the whole thing felt pretty fucking awesome~" Miko gave that answer while Ai looked at her. "Did you make our baby even more a pervert than she was in her closet? I don't think she would have admitted to that before~ And not a word, I've seen the folders on your tablet~" Ai decided playfully amused by the entire thing and knowing that Miko's gallery would be quite interesting to look at. Miko for her part in this had opened her mouth to speak but upon remembering that Ai had claimed to see quite a few problematic things in the gallery of her tablet, she pouted holding up her hands in mock surrender. Beyond that it seemed that quest didn't even have a proper end until that moment. "Oh... well, I suppose unless they have one at the start they wouldn't have time limits. I did help you complete that event quest earlier just by tagging in when someone else couldn't finish... the quests themselves seem pretty intuitive like that..." Miko said thinking about an earlier moment.

Beyond that the spread of those notifications was quite interesting. Makima's eyes shifted to the side as Gojo spoke aloud about the teens adventures. "Ara?~ They picked it up already... I know they claimed it wasn't really work for them but that was fast~" Makima mentioned as she reached for one of those pieces of Sushi with a chopstick lazily eating in the pool of warm water. "Good Sensei!~" Makima jokingly congratulated Gojo on his 'teachings' even while knowing that both children were quite beyond that kind of help. "Hm, I wonder how they'll celebrate... well besides the obvious of course. they did mention not being done with their dailies yet," Makima wondered if the pair had decided todo a house warming date or something of the like. That one unknown of Miko's list, getting a notification would have been odd news to her, if she'd had time to think about it. Instead, Kaguya was sitting in bed, after a surprise extra round with Miyuki. Her head was back and she was relaxing with it against the headboard while a little smile came to her face. The idea of having a secret place to run off to, was... amusing at least. And if they set it up out here somewhere that had to be something they put some thought into... Poetic choice!~ she sent to group chat with her secret phone before allowing it to disappear again. At the same time... Tae was looking at her own key, having just made it back to the right side of town. How fucking edgy could you get?~ If I use this key will I have to find my way back across town? I'm not one of those speedy types, I actually use vehicles.

[Bloodedge]

While Miko answered Ai's curiosity regarding her little... tryst with a slime colony, Yugi began taking steps toward the castle. He wasn't going to keep waiting around while having a conversation. As he still had Ai against his back, he figured Miko would be following along. Along the way to the massive throne platform right in front of the entrance, Yugi was asked directly about the 'corruption' of Miko. What had he actually done? In truth, Yugi hadn't done a thing besides enable urges he found obvious in the lass. "I didn't do anything but expose the slutty part. Want me to do yours too? I can tell it's in there~" he teased to the girl whose breasts were still firmly planted atop his head. With that, he was standing in front of a massive double door, Ruler's Hand at the ready for one side of it. "Open the gate!" he announced in a mockingly haughty tone, intending to open the left door if Miko took the right.

Meanwhile, Gojo seemed completely unworried, tossing sushi into his mouth by hand ─ or seemingly so. Joking though it was, praise came from Makima, causing the white-haired man to behave as if he'd been greatly empowered. "HRAAAAAH! My power is surging!" he joked. Makima had more to say. Whether he'd been refusing to pay attention or simply missed some information, Gojo wasn't privy to the list of daily requirements. "What dailies?" he wondered. All the while, messages were flowing in. Yugi received one from Kaguya and one from Tae, quite close to each other. To Kaguya, he sent: Thinking about a secret trip already, or...? Shortly afterwards, he messaged Tae: So much edgier. Try me. Haven't tested whether there's a way to teleport back or not. I can let you know, unless you want to do the test.

[Apollymi]

It would seem that questions were being answered on the move, Miko easily kept up, with Yugi, even given much shorter legs. After an explanation from Miko and the subsequent teasing from Ai, Ai was subjected to teasing from Yugi. He claimed that he'd only exposed the slutty part of Miko and he could do the same for her... he could tell it was there. "What?! Kage-tan, how could you? No way I have anything like that..." she said in a purely sarcastic manner. Her activities with a female friend due to a bit of prodding said otherwise, so did her current positioning. Though she wasn't the type to throw herself into something without getting to know someone, she could say she'd at least enjoy things presented to her after a certain level of comfort was reached. "OPENING THE GATE♫~" Miko chanted as her own use of Ruler's Hand would push open the opposing side and let them enter. All the while, Ai was enjoying her perch but having her number of question grow by the moment. "So you have Sharigan, telekinesis, the start of Susano'o and these weird Shadows, seem to do your bidding, we haven't talked about that yet by the way... And you can just pop a house out of nowhere. Appearing from a gate in the kaicho's office... and?" Ai wondered what kind of craziness this pair was up to, and just the things she'd observed had been bad enough...

While Ai, pontificated and started freaking out about the oddities being shown by the Players. Makima was enjoying sushi, and a bath with one of her favored pets. She'd watched him power up and chuckled, "Kyah~ Stop~" she said still in jest. She felt like she'd laughed more today than she had in several years. No matter, there was the Players and their Daily Quests that Gojo didn't know anything about. "Yeah. Apparently the update to their System gave them a list of daily objectives to complete for some prize they didn't mention. They also mentioned the ability to double up... but had some complaints about how some things they'd already done didn't count, A Gallery Photo, A Route Event, Intimacy Increase, and something else," Makima explained of the situation. "I was told sending a photo could make them easier for him... so I planned to after I was done eating. And the little one was complaining about her events from earlier not counting," Makima explained what she knew of the situation. Gojo was technically in charge of them, so him knowing how things worked was simply beneficial all around. Meanwhile, Kaguya was looking at her secret phone and chuckling, Maybe just a little. I'm awake on my own and I can't help but notice I'm not hearing anything from next door anymore~ Well, at least she knew they were out doing something to further themselves and their progress. besides she knew her friend was quite the busybody, she didn't expect her to remain stationary for too long. As for Tae, apparently he could be edgier. She thought about his question and had a smile break out across her face. I love a good experiment. Let me ask... can I store something big in my portion of the Inventory? Like if I can bring my bike with me, then I can get back even if I can't teleport back. I wouldn't mind doing something like that...

[Bloodedge]

"Oh really? Well, if she's not your slut... she must be mine~" Yugi flirted regarding the secret, promiscuous side of Ai. Once that gate was opened and the trio could enter the building, there was another series of curiosities from Ai. Yugi had answers... but he'd only give them after rotating the blonde around to his fore, aiming to hold her there as if they could start something sexual right then and there, clothes aside. Ah, but he left it at a bit of face-to-face interaction and some easier groping of her rear. "That's better. Yes. Those Shadows are also dead things. We each have the title Monarch of Shadows, and that comes with the ability to extract shadows from the dead. We've got a lot more on the way. Oh, and... you'll probably like the fact that we can craft things through the System as well," he explained.

According to Makima, there were a few different daily quests connected to the Players' routes. A photo, an event, an increase of Intimacy, and something else Makima couldn't place. One thing they did regularly was missing; Gojo assumed that was the fourth quest. "Probably fucking," he asserted. "I could send something too. I think they were talking about some kind of annoying punishment earlier. Can't have Little Thumper getting punished by a machine if I can help it~" he claimed. Perhaps Gojo would also send a photo or see about spawning some sort of event. While Gojo was considering his options, Yugi was sending two more texts. To Kaguya: Can't make the other visitors send noise complaints on the first night. So make sure you've got that lipstick on tomorrow. To Tae: We can. You should be able to. You could probably even get a new bike from the System. Haven't checked the prices or anything else about vehicles yet.
