Seriously, are we not even going to try and find another option?

>>278865
I AGREE.

>>278860
Are you really going to just leave her? Come on, you know what the right thing to do is. If you really need to take the potion, but try not to.

Here is something you should say: "Mimi, I don't you calling me Master anymore." And then kiss her.

>He does?!
Likely, he's damn suspicious and way too fucking conniving. If it were going to be a problem though it already would have been. Maybe he'll hold it against you later, be wary.

"Is there any other way?"

"I can't tell...."

She closes the chest.

>>278870
...
Keyhole.

Dude.

That's it.

>>278870
Your key. Her hole. Right now.
I'm losing respect for you by the second.

>>278870
Dammit go do the right thing and screw her or we're revoking your penis privileges for a month!

>>278873
>>278874
You two.
Cut that out.

Seriously man, you need to do this. It's that, or go to see the demon king. And the Dragon basically said not to do that. So you need to man up, if you really appreciate Mimi, and fufill the conditions of the contract so she can make a new one. If you don't do this, you'll always have to live with the regret.

>>278877
That's right! The demon king! Let's go and see him! Third option!

"Oh, uhm... what's the demon king like?"

Her voice is muffled through the chest

"He is the lord of shadow, the kind of all demons. Every morning he drinks the blood of 1000 demons and every night he dines on the flesh of 1000 virgins. He makes deals with all mortals willing to forfeit their immortal soul. Only once he has made them suffer for decades do they begin to regret their decision. He has killed thousands, even women and children and will not hesitate to cut a man's head off at the slightest sign of disrespect. Why do you ask?"

>>278880

:V

Well

In terms of the alternatives

Death or sex, arty?

>>278880
Yeah no, not gonna even consider that. "Just... wondering."

Now then if you're done trying to weasel out of it... We already told you what to do. Just go ahead and do it.

>>278880
"Wishful thinking. Apparently he can nullify demonic contracts on a whim."

Artemis, either sleep with her, go to the library or something and research enough demonic lore to come up with another solution, or just tell her that you're leaving and stick to it. Choose your course of action and commit, no hesitation.

>>278880
Art, I've been supportive of you this entire time. I've done my best to help you without ever asking for repayment.
This is because I thought you were a decent person, and it sickens me to see just how wrong I was.
You have a duty to Mimi, and instead of doing it you're telling her you care for her life far less than you care for your convenience.

Put us down. We don't want to touch you anymore.

>>278884
What the FUCK is wrong with you. Seriously. That's fucked up, you jackass.

>>278884
You good sir, are an ass hat. Seriously, a decision of this magnitude requires an examination of all possible choices before an informed decision is made. We're trying to minimize harm to both Mimi AND Arty. This is effectively situational rape of both of them.

Well, unless Mimi is just spouting propaganda about him, he DOES seem out of the question. Perhaps that librarian that seems to well, be a walking library knows how to read the contract in full and translate it into common for us. We might yet find a third way agreeable to all parties.

>>278885
>>278886
We got our information from Sharaes the dragon, and if Sharaes says there are no other ways of ending the contract, then there is no other ways of ending the contract.
We have somewhere in the ballpark of twelve hours in which to get Mimi out of here, and we can't do anything that will give her existence away. Researching demonic contracts in general may not be too suspicious, but doing a rush job of researching how to break contracts with unfavorable termination conditions is a red flag to anybody paying attention.

More importantly, Art has failed to reassure Mimi. He is letting her suffer while he thinks of things we know won't work instead of comforting her, and that is completely reprehensible.

>>278889
And how do we know she's a completely reliable source in matters such as this? It's really fucking important. Second opinion that shit. And seriously, you'd rather have situation rape then dealing with people who probably already have it out for Arty & co.? And besides, how do we KNOW it won't work? We haven't gone and found collaborating sources of info on this.

Guys I... I just can't. I don't want my first time to..
I mean if it's for her I would but...
I want to see if there's any other option.

"Mimi, I'll be right back."

"Okay..."

Artemis takes the copy of the contract to the Academy. He finds Sarah the librarian and asks her to translate this.

>"Uhm sure.. I'm not 'great' at it though. oh a mimic contract. Trying to get one? They're darn useful.. Lesee..."

She translate it as best as she can.

>>278895
What's that bit about unlocking? That hasn't really been mentioned before.

>>278895
Whelp, that's what we already knew.

Artemis... you have ONE other option. If you don't want your first time to be with Mimi... go see Morgan.

>>278898
Seriously? That's not another option and you know it. Maybe checking with her about it as well might work, I mean, someone who can make a phoenix down should know a ton of arcane shit. Probably.

(Speaking of reviving, are demons fully rezable? NOT recommendeding the implications of that AT ALL. Sex would be a better choice BY FAR, but this might be useful for loopholing shit later. FOR THE RECORD DO NOT USE THIS ALTERNATIVE IF IT IS ONE.)

why does 'be a ??? Mimic' seem to have a die symbol after it?

>>278895
........
It doesn't say that 'master' has to be the one to mate with her. If you want you COULD have someone do it for you.
Though that means you're essentially whoring her out... I think you're first time being with her is slightly preferable to... that.
>>278898
OR, you could try to convince Morgan to sleep with you first, but that would be... awkward. You're not at that stage in the relationship yet.
You've got a hard decision ahead of you whatever you choose, you can take a hit yourself and sleep with Mimi, you can whore Mimi out, or you can possibly ruin your relationship with Morgan/alienate a friend.

Oh hey Artemis ask her what a better contract for a mimic might be! I mean if you have to go through with it it would be best to have a better contract to replace it with. And we are here already anyway.

>>278897
Let me sum that up for you:
RULES:
-MATE->UNLOCK
-TRY TO MOVE MOVE->DIE
It's pretty cut and dry.

Go to Morgan, explain the situation, and ask her what to do. Ask her if she wants to help.
Oh, and see if that "???" is familiar to her.

>>278904
Potentially, or it could be another way of fulfilling the contract. It could quite possibly be false pattern recognition making you think that both of those are Condition -> Consequence.

Besides, unlock is vague as hell. It might not be a equivalent of release, or terminate contract, or fulfill contract.

>>278902
>>278898
Possible, thoroughly unlikely compromise?
Mimi/Morgan OTP.

There's no way I can tell Morgan this...

"So what does this mean?"

"Well.. Basically it means that you need to have sexual intercourse with this Mimic in order to break the contract. It's weird since that's really not even needed... Ah well. If you need any more help please come again."

Artemis thanks her and leaves.

He goes back to his room and sees Mimi.

"Hi Master..."

"Hey Mimi. uhm... Listen... I.."

"It's okay Master. No one's done it before, I didn't expect it to happen now."

>>278915
Which do you want more?
An ideal first time or Mimi.

Because I hate to break it to you kid, but the first time is never 'ideal' or even what you imagine it would be like.

>>278916
Yeah, but non-deal isn't situational rape also. Seriously. This is some really fucked up shit here. Arty's under duress and coercion to do it with a time constraint that is preventing full contemplation or examination of possibilities.

>>278915
Tell her it isn't because of her that you have a problem, it's everything else about it. It's sudden and forced and awkward and it would be your first time. But you'll do it. ...Right?

>>278915
Ask her if it means it's her first time, too.
After that, ask her what the ??? means.

Finally, lock the door and say "I've been looking for alternatives because that's... special. It's supposed to be romantic, and deepen an already intimate bond. It's not you, or the act, it's the context; I don't like either of us being forced into this. Even if we were ready for it I still wouldn't like being forced...
I'll do it, Mimi."
Then hug her. Use her bag to make the positioning easier.

"Mimi, you don't have to keep calling me master."

"Do to. It's the rules.."

"Well no one's enforcing it here."

"Oh. Well you won't need to worry about it anymore..."

"Look I... I've been looking for alternatives because that's... special. It's supposed to be romantic, and deepen an already intimate bond. It's not you, or the act, it's the context; I don't like either of us being forced into this. Even if we were ready for it I still wouldn't like being forced... I'll do it, Mimi."

Artemis takes off the guardian and puts it onto the floor.

"Master.. You don't have too."

"I... I don't mind."
--------------------------------------------

"Uhm... Okay how do I take this off? Can I just cut it?"

"Master that's my only chest band."

"Ah.. Well we don't really need to.. Here try to get as far up as... Yeah. Okay now-OW! Splinter!"

"Is master okay?"

"Y-yeah I'm fine.. Just trying to uh... Get comfortable... Okay maybe... Yeah just tilt the chest over like this.. Lemme-Woah!"

CRASH

"Ow...."

"Sorry! Okay.... Uhm... Okay so let me just lay here and......."

"Master?"

"..... Uhm...."

"What's..? Oh.... Uhm..."

"..... I...."

"No no.. Uhm.. It's okay Master.."

"Maybe if we just wait a minute....."

"......"

ARTEMIS! PUT YOUR PENIS IN HER MOUTH! WHEN YOU ARE READY, PUT IT IN THE BAG!

Alternatively you can have her give you the potion, but whatever; it's not like you can hear us anyway.

Hey hey HEY! Oh dammit... POTION USE THE POTION or just... MIMI SUCK HI- oh she couldn't hear us anyway. Dammit. He'd better man the fuck up or I'll be pissed.

Can we at least manage to get a look I mean come ON.

Hey....
Yeah this isn't working...
Can't say I didn't try.

>>278925
Have her give you the love potion.

>>278925
Well, time for a performance enhancement! Have Mimi hand you the potion, and down it.

>>278929
>>278927

>>278930
I'm not OP

>>278925
Based upon her previous reaction to your handling the bag, it's somehow... involved with her. You might try putting your hand in and thinking of not much. Or of her. And watch her face while you do.

Have her stand on her head and poke her legs out.

I don't think love has anything to do with this.. My heart's beating so fast I can -feel- it.

Artemis feels around the inside of Mimi's bag.

"Nnn!"

Mimi moves shifts around.

"Master.... Do that again..."

"O-okay..."

"Mmm...."

"Um... Do you wanna t-try again?"

"Yes. Please. Now."

>>278951
Remember to immediately ask her for a new contract when this one expires, since then she gets to stay here until you work one out.
