"Oh I'm sorry, was that meant to scare me off?"
:”I-Impossible!”
:“D-Don’t get full of yourself just because of this!”
:”Seems like you may be worth our attention after all.”
:”We shall play with you then.”
:“Well I guess Hugo still knows how to pick his companion-”
He disappears, then reappears next to Nei, and proceeds to take her in his arms for a romantic, bend-over-backwards kiss.
He still remembers which spots get her tingling just right. He's had a lot of practice.
Hugo feels like Nei feels somewhat… Different? Dry?
Then he notices he’s kissing a life-sized doll of Nei.
And the flesh and bones Nei is staring at him with a look of disgust in her face. You’re not even sure when they switched places.
: “Idiota! Baka! Pervertido! Hentai! You think you can stay away for all this time and I’ll just take you back in my arms right away?”
Your groping of Nei’s doll “tingling spots” allows you to feel something small and hard that shouldn’t be there. Something that feels just like a micro drive used to store data.
"What's unsuitable about running on a beach? They're long, reasonably flat, and if you're fragile enough to get hurt from falling, even soft to land on."
"And of course there's no teleporting in a foot race. It wouldn't be much of a foot race if you did that. Or flew. Or cut corners. Don't you have any sense?"/
Just as Amaterasu finishes talking, one of the local birds lands in a patch of sand not far away from you.
Then a sand worm about the natural size of Amaterasu pops out to devour it.
Then something even bigger than Amaterasu but with tentacles emerges from the sea, grabbing the sand worm and dragging it under the waves in an instant.
:”Cence?”
:“What’s that?”
:”The beach may appear flat, but there are an average of 1,781 hidden sand worm trap-holes per square units.”
:”And too much vibration in the surface inevitably attracts the Bal Rodos too.”
