Chapter 44: Temporary Leisure

After sleeping together with four girls last night, I half expected a perverted event or something to happen yet it didn't. In fact, I woke up completely alone. Miho needs to prepare breakfast so that's understandable but I thought the other three would be a little more relentless. Not that I'm complaining, though I do feel lonely from the lack of my mate's warmth in the morning...

Dammit, I'm getting needy aren't I?

Sighing, I muted my alarm instantly the moment it went off, which means I'm learning to wake up earlier like Miho. Once I'm done with my morning routine, I went to the kitchen where everyone else was already present, "Mor... ning?"

My greeting produced mixed results, the four girls who were into me were glaring daggers whereas everyone else were relieved by my presence. What puzzled me the most was that the four were glaring at a pile of letters, presents, files, pictures and whatever other stuff I'm not sure if I even want to know.

"So... did Diodora make another crazy offer or is Azazel messing with us again?"

Rias groaned and rubbed her temples, softening her gaze to meet mine, "Neither. These are marriage proposals along with anything else to persuade us to accept them."

"And surprisingly, they're not for Asia." Issei added nervously to which the blonde nodded in agreement.

Gears turned in my mind and I grew uneasy, remembering Venelana's warning, "Wait a second, don't tell me your family's planning another arrange marriage for you. I thought Sirzechs-san wouldn't repeat the same mistake twice."

Surprised by my assumption, Rias blushed happily and smiled sweetly, "No Daisuke, they're not for me. But thank you for caring so much about me."

"Ara ara, maybe I should play the damsel in distress more often for your attention Daisuke-kun."

I blinked. Marriage proposals not for Asia or Rias? And I can't think of anyone else here who would receive these, unless Yuuto's and Akeno's fan clubs have finally lost it, "Then who are they for?"

"They're for you."

...

Looking to my left, I saw Miho still glaring as if she could set the pile on fire with Amaterasu. Looking to my right, I saw the rest of my housemates nodding while Issei's deadpanned eyes said 'Yes you, you lucky son of a bitch!'

"... Do I even want to know why?"

"Apparently word about your 14th Longinus has spread everywhere. Not only devils, but some fallens and anyone else who want to form a close tie with the Gremory Household or indirectly Lucifer-sama himself. Your fame as a potential Super Devil and achievements from our recent confrontations has spurred many to make their move. And I highly doubt this will be the last."

The King answered in displeasure. I curiously picked up a letter and checked them out, "Dear Aoi Arashi, marry me and and you will have the all the riches and land you desire blah blah blah." I skipped the rest and opened another, "May your wind suck in my affections and blow away my clothes for us to delve into blah blah blah. Guess they pretty much think that I'm a simple guy with worldly desires. Huh, what's this? It feels soft and- GAH!"

Induced into panic, I threw the kinky bra meant for a very well endowed woman into the air, which was caught by Miho's fire tendrils and swiftly incinerated. The maid smiled benevolently yet her features spoke otherwise, "Danna-sama, please do not worry. I will have these contami- I mean presents properly organized."

She wrapped them up with her threads and strolled to the special fireproof room.

Irina fidgeted fearfully, her usual cheerful outgoing behavior cracked slightly, "Sh-shouldn't you c-calm her Hanwei-san."

"Nah, salamanders tend to rage out when they're stressed, she needs a couple minutes to cool down a bit before I check on her. Miho's already pretty docile compared to most of her kin."

"BURN IN HELL YOU IGNORANT WHORING WITCHES!"

Despite the special room was specifically designed to prevent any heat radiating outside, Issei and the others magically brought fire extinguishers out of nowhere as the temperature rises. Irina sweated out of nervousness and hotness, gratefully accepting an extinguisher from Xenovia while eyeing me for an explanation.

"... Although she has been getting more aggressive lately." Maybe she's a bit power high since unlocking Awakening, some salamanders get full of themselves and arrogant once they had a taste of it. Either that, or she's nearing to go in heat. I should probably start thinking about fixing that.

"That was because three batches of delivery made up that pile." Koneko flatly stated, "Miho-senpai did her best to not lash out when she found them."

"Ufufu, to be honest, I would have organized those presents if Miho-chan didn't step in sooner." A gleam of sadism sparkled in the Queen, "I would imagine them as the senders begging for mercy when I-"

"Is there any way to announce that I'm already taken?"

"You can leave that to me. I will personally ensure that they will keep my warning in mind." The red head coolly assured before a messaging magic circle appeared, she sighed as another batch of expensive gifts teleported onto the table.

Yuuto laughed nervously, "It seems you are quite popular today Hanwei-kun. Worry not, you'll get used to girls wanting your attention."

"Have you?"

He lowered his head sadly, "No."

"Actually, these are from Diodora." Rias corrected, much to Asia's gloom and Issei's agitation.

"Buchou, can I smash them into little tiny pieces?"

"No Issei."

"But Miho gets to burn Daisuke's presents."

"Miho is not part of my peerage and has no loyalty towards me. I cannot stop her even if I tried." The King smiled softly at the Pawn's plight, "I understand that you are frustrated Issei, but there is no need to go that far. I will inform Diodora myself this time and hopefully he will listen."

Issei heaved a disappointed sigh, "Alright buchou."

"Don't worry about it." Patting Issei's back, "I can personally vouch that Diodora can't keep up his act once we're done with him."

"What makes you say that Hanwei-san?"

Oh right, Irina doesn't know about origins. Hmm... Meh, what the heck. Azazel and Michael already knows so it shouldn't be a problem, "Maybe I'll tell you someday. Though for now, it'd for me to know and you to not find out."

The two transfer students fit in well quite fast, Irina's bright personality and Miho's regal conduct won over the class easy. I was walking down the hallway when I bumped into the SItri, "Sona-kaichou, good morning."

"Good morning Hanwei-kun. Are you alone? I assumed you would remain with Asahina-san during lunch. However, please remember to refrain from any romantic acts on school grounds."

"She's eating with some girls, I thought it would be nice for her to make new friends."

"I see." She fixed her glasses with a challenging glint in eyes, "Hanwei-kun, are you currently unoccupied by any chance."

"Yes. Why do you ask?"

A smirk spread over her face, "Would you care for a game of chess?"

"Still upset over the loss?"

"Quite so, you were not directly present so I am interested to see your intelligence up close."

"That's fine though what about your work? Aren't the student council busy with setting up the Sports Festival?"

"We are on break for lunch right now."

"Fair enough. I am curious to know where I stand against you anyway."

We made our way to the student council office. Sona quickly summoned the chest board with the pieces already arranged. Allowed to move first, we made our moves while analyzing each other's strategies.

"May I ask you what might be a personal question?" I shifted a pawn.

"What may that be?" She deployed her knight.

"Buchou stopped me once to not have a chess game with you. I don't know why however."

Sona paused briefly before resuming the game, "I will only accept a spouse who can defeat me at chess."

This time it was me who froze. I smiled wryly, "That... kinda makes sense knowing your personality. Were you forced into an arrange marriage before like buchou?"

"Yes, my engagement was nulled once I have proven my superior intellect." She gave me a look which showed how amused she is by my tenseness, "Do not worry, I am smart enough to know how dangerous it is to steal a salamander's mate away. Please continue."

I released a breath I didn't know I was hiding, forwarding a rook as backup, "So you know how strong Miho is?"

"Rias gave me a thorough explanation as to why Asahina-san is no longer a mere familiar. It is late, however, congratulations on your marriage." The King captured one of my pieces.

Setting up a trap to bait her in, "Thank you."

"Your movements are not what I expected. You seem easier to counter."

"Actual combat and chess are very different in my opinion. I can use anything around me and set up ahead of time instead of following predetermined rules." My plans are set, pushing Sona into a corner.

"That is true. What event would you be participating in the Sport's festival?" Furrowing her brows, the Sitri attempted to find an opening.

"Relay race."

"There will be no cheating of any sort I presume?"

"Hard to stay in control when you got Ultimate-class strength to withhold, though I still have the special training gear Second-shishou gave me to slow me down. I'm planning to use it then."

"How honorable... And checkmate."

"Almost had you though. Turn-based games aren't exactly my forte."

"Yet you gave me a good game. It was still presumptuous of Rias to assume you could defeat me at my own game. However, I can understand why she does not want to lose you."

"Yeah well..." Embarrassment crept over me, "I belong to Miho now."

She stifled a giggle, "I can only imagined how well your love life will proceed, Rias is not the type to wait and watch from the sidelines." Releasing a sigh, "It must be nice to feel love, I wonder when I will get a boyfriend?"

I raised an eyebrow, "What about Saji?"

"Saji is a good boy, though I prefer one who is less reckless and have more insight of his actions. Also, two of my peerage members are in love with him. I should not cause any undesired discord."

"You do know that the smarter you become, the harder it is for you to find that someone who can beat you in chess right? Are you certain you can find the right guy by the time you succeed the Sitri Household?"

"That problem is not urgent, I would like to spend my youth as a student right now." A thoughtful look crossed her features, "I wonder what would lie in the future had I found you first instead of Rias?"

Most probably that canon would remain the same as it should. Then again, I might not have met Miho if that happened, "I have the feeling that the ORC would have done fine even without me."

"Are you confident about that? Your presence has changed something inside Rias, her view of the world has opened more than ever and she has taken initiatives on her own."

"What do you mean?"

"... It would be best if you find out for yourself."

"If you say so. I better get going, don't want to overstay my welcome."

"You are welcome for another match during lunch, it was fun and relaxing to compete against you. Saji and the others are also eager to test themselves against you while knowing their odds."

"After the tournament. Good luck with your next match."

"Likewise. I hope to see you reach the finals, you cannot avoid direct confrontation against an opponent of that caliber or blame your diminished health twice."

"So you knew?"

"I refuse to believe a fighter such as yourself could retire from laughter alone."

That shameful memory made me wince, entertaining Sona slightly. Coughing into my hand, "As if I'll let something like that happen again. See ya."

"Da-Daisuke!"

Taking the baton, I ran at my best according to human standard. It took a while since the baton holder before me stubbled but I'm quickly making up lost time while maintaining perfect breathing to keep my body going. Eventually, I crossed the finishing line as a classmate checked the stopwatch.

"You were amazing Daisuke, we might win first place with a little more practice."

"So-sorry, I tripped and wasted too much time."

"Don't worry about it, we just gotta keep practicing until we get it right."

"Well Daisuke is the most athletic guy in school." One of the runners begrudgingly admitted, "And he's totally hogging the girls."

Turning around, I saw a few girls checking out my muscles through my sweaty sports shirt before they noticed my gaze and went on their way. All students were given a day to practice for the upcoming festival, though I'm pretty sure I don't need that much practice. Some teamwork and baton passing exercises should be enough.

"It's not like I want the girls leering at me."

"Enough yapping, let's get back to work."

Other than me, the relay team consists of normal humans. Student council members aside, Yuuto is competing in a different event so we'll be fine as long as nothing happens to me. Even with these resistance bracelets hindering me, I'm still faster than the track team. I've never set it to max level before but it's too late now that my teammates saw how fast I ran. After a couple more rounds, we took a break while I decided to see how the rest are doing."

"Hey senpai."

A familiar cute voice behind me drew my vision down, "Yo Koneko, are you resting too?"

"Not like I need to rest. My classmates think I'm too cute and delicate to try so hard in tug-of-war."

"Are you gonna use your super strength to surprise the hell out of them?"

"Nah, I think I'll try being fair this time."

I smirked, "So you did cheat before."

She shrugged, "Just enough so nobody suspects anything, I already have the muscle so it would be boring to not use it. Since then, everyone thinks I'm a lucky charm or something to help my class win and they made me the school mascot."

"Didn't the whole mascot deal happen because of your cuteness?"

"It did, the wins were extra incentives."

"By the way, how's Gasper doing?"

"Better than we thought actually, he moves fast and nimbly on the the obstacle race in his box."

"He's participating in his box? How does that even work?"

Koneko thumbed at Gasper and her classmates. I saw something scuttling through every obstacle, and that something turns out to be a box moving similar to a fast turtle with ninja skills. He zig-zaged as if the box itself was part of his body. Two flashes of red emanated victoriously the moment he reached the end.

Inclining my head back to the white haired Rook, "That was impressive. Did he get that good after running away from Xenovia so much?"

"It's better to not overthink it, it'll save us the headache."

"Do the rules allow a student to take part while hiding inside a box?"

"They never said we can't."

"Fair point."

"Hyah!"

A cry echoed, drawing our attention to find Issei and Asia on the ground with the former groping. Koneko expressed her typical disgust at the pervert, "Issei-senpai isn't so worried about Diodora anymore is he?"

"Believe it or not, it was a complete accident this time." The nekoshou's unchanging features made me chuckle, "Yes, I'm sure."

"If you say so, then he'll live for now. I'll go back to my group. Later senpai."

"See ya."

"Yo." I felt a slap on my back and turned around, watching Saji holding his hand in pain. "Ah, what are you made of?"

"Carbon, calcium, phosphorus, though I'm sure I'm at least 60% water."

"Ha ha, very funny."

I smirked until I saw the bandage, "Don't tell me I did that and you magically wrapped your hand?"

"No, it's for hiding the mark that came out from my Sacred Gear. Azazel-sensei said it might be from absorbing the Sekiryuutei's blood." The blonde grinned, "I'm in the relay too, thought it would be a good chance to beat you in something."

"Dude, if you want a spar that badly, we can always have one after the Rating Games."

"That Rating Game was my chance to help kaichou shine, and it all went down the drain because of your creepy eyes. We thought for sure Hyoudou would give Ascalon to Xenovia since she couldn't use Durandal safely."

"You do remember that Koneko was there with him right?"

"Yeah, we thought about a few other ideas but she was too fast and too strong. To be honest, Hyoudou and I are really similar and we duked it out Pawn against Pawn with our pride on the line without anyone interfering. I bet I could've gotten a better evaluation if I was more prepared."

"Not practical to refuse help in a battlefield. Still, a fistfight would provide a great spectacle for the audience."

"Wouldn't it? I mean, I gotta show off to increase my evaluation so I can make it to High-class and help kaichou as soon as possible. I was seriously prepared to take you down with me when it comes to it."

"With how desperate you were facing against Issei, I don't doubt that."

"Say, you never did tell me about what your dreams for the future are."

Breaking the spacetime barrier while avoiding the Dragon Gods to look for a way back home. That's my goal at first but what about after that? "I do want to be a doctor in a long term, though I'm aiming to be a High-class devil right now."

"Kaichou invited you for a game of chees right? Did..." Saji played off as nonchalant horribly, "anything happen?"

"Relax, she only wanted to see how good I am after the game. I'm with Miho remember."

He sighed in relief, inspecting for any people nearby before whispered, "You got any advice on how to get impress kaichou?"

"Why not ask Issei? You said it yourself, you two are alike."

"Yeah, but kaichou's impressed with your stunts, that's the closest any boy has gotten to have a shot. And you somehow got a girl who's way out of your league."

"Hey, Miho's not... Okay fine. Use your head and think more thoroughly such as consequences and efficiency. Try anything to maximize your chances to win and don't charge in without any solid plan. Play strategy games to hone your mind, that's what I did."

"Thanks. Better go get more practice, I still have council work after this."

Rolling my eyes, I headed over to my mate and saw her chatting with other girls. They saw my arrival and giggled, leaving us alone. Miho appreciated the gesture and treaded towards me, "How may I help you Hanwei-sama?"

"Oh um, I wanted to see how you're doing." Staying close to her in public is still really embarrassing, "How's ball tossing?"

"Slightly difficult at first yet surprisingly fun."

"I see."

Our conversation suddenly stopped there. My vision was gifted with the feast of a sporty Miho. The shirt hugged her body firmly, emphasizing the curves very well especially her breasts. The elastic fabric was stretched to the limit and appeared to tear any moment if those mounds so much as jiggle. Her thighs and legs were showed off tremendously by her bloomers, highlighting how plump and soft they are just from looking. And the hair tied into a ponytail gave an athletic vibe while maintaining the erotic feminism of her gorgeous face and sultry body.

"U-um, it is embarrassing for me to be stared at so much."

"So-sorry!" Dammit, control yourself Hanwei, "It really looks good on you."

"Re-really? I was conflicted to wear this when so many males can see me... until I realized I wanted you to see me."

Now both of us were blushing red, our hearts pounding and gaze to the ground from sheer embarrassment. Not a single word could be uttered or else we'd risk saying something stupid. It was so much easier to flirt in private.

"I want you to touch me." Miho muttered before realizing what she just said, covering her mouth and reddening intensely.

Pinching my nose to prevent a nosebleed, I tried to say something only to gap like an idiot, until I choose a shameful statement so we'll be flustered together at least, "I really want to touch you."

Those words made the pinkette step closer before she remembered we're in school.

"... Miho, do you want to go on a date?"

That snapped out of her stupor somewhat, "Date? The human courting activity where a couple spends time together? Are we not on a date everyday?"

"Training and sleeping together doesn't exactly count as dates. It's been a long time since we last went on an outing together."

"Sorry, I am still foreign to the concept of dating. I assumed it only applies to couples who are yet to marry."

"Do you want to? We can visit all the fun places, relaxing without worrying about enemies, the future or anything else for a day. We can make new memories." I grasped her hands into my own, "Just the two of us, no one else."

She unconsciously smiled ear to ear, gently squeezing my hands, "Yes, that sounds lovely."

"Then next week, after Sports Day so we can sneak out without anyone noticing."

After receiving a peck on the cheek and a nod, we separated for now before drawing in too much attention.

"Hello there my good young specimen. How has your own personal slave been fulfilling your carnal desires?"

I groaned, rubbing the bridge of my nose while scanning for anyone else, "Why do I have to be alone with you?"

"Glad to know you still think so highly of me." Azazel propped his feet onto the table. Rias won't be happy when she finds out.

"Maybe if I pretend really hard, he'll disappear."

"You ain't that lucky. Did you like the condoms I gave you as a present?"

"Sliced and burned them."

"Oh ho, didn't know you married couple wanted to do it raw so soon."

"There was an anime back in my world where a guy severed an arm by teleporting it into another dimension. Maybe I can do the same with your crotch."

"Aw don't be like that. I got both the knowledge and the experience to know what salamander girls love. I'm practically your great master to make her-"

"Have you done any digging on Diodora?" I desperately attempted to change the subject before I snap.

"Yuuup. Where's everyone else anyway?"

"My group finished a bit early. The others are still putting back the equipment or cleaning up."

"Perfect. You've eluded me all this time but now I can bestow you my wis-"

"Would you quit it already? I don't need anyone meddling with my sex life, especially you."

"Daisuke." Azazel crossed his arms with a strangely cocky features, "Knowing you, I bet you're half a step away before crossing the line with your mate yet too shy to actually do it. Miho's sexually frustrated actions are a dead giveaway."

"Why are you- wait, what do mean sexually frustrated actions?"

"Are you seriously asking me that? I've broken hundreds if not thousands of women to crave for me over the millenniums and I know when a girl really needs it when I see one. And turn off your Balance Breaker. I have a code of honor, nothing happened to Miho and I only do single women."

I breathed deeply to calm down and removed any thoughts about throwing his manhood to the sun, "Why do you care about my sex life so much?"

"To annoy the fuck out of you at first until yesterday's fire broke out in the hotel. Just because I'm stinking filthy rich, doesn't mean I don't care about the stuff I build."

"Fair point."

"Back to the topic." He clapped his hands, smirking at his success of finally gaining my attention, "You're gonna make sure she's 100% satisfied and right now, you got zero technique."

I am so gonna regret this.

"That is to be expected from a 17-year-old virgin." The pervert strolled towards me with too much glee. I had to resist the urge to knock his annoying smirk. "Which is where I come in. As long as your lizard wife doesn't go in heat, she'll fall harder for you and beg for more even when she's unconscious. Domination is the key to her heart and body."

"You're really making me want to bury your head into the ceiling."

"In order to solve that." An x-rated pornography was summoned into his hands and presented towards me, "You'll need to learn everything you can in this book."

My eyes shifted alternately between the literature and the leader of all fallen angels who have succumbed to his desires. Sweat dripped down my forehead as my hand slowly went to grab it... before changing my mind, "Maybe I'll just watch some porn from Issei's collection or something. As long as I can make Miho feel good, there shouldn't be a problem right?"

Azazel stared flatly at me with actual disappointment, "Daisuke, I know you've been researching about salamanders so quit chickening out. Salamanders get down to their business on the night they become mates and here you are, running away from it."

*Thwap*

An imaginary arrow of guilt shot through my heart, "I-I know-"

"Senjutsu messed your bodies so that's understandable but it's been at least a week after a full recovery, that's just plain cowardly and you're acting as a bad mate."

*Thwap*

Another chunk load of guilt pierced me, "Th-that's-"

"This may seem embarrassing and perverted to you. However, salamanders treat it as their sacred ritual and how they express their love for each other similar to how humans have honeymoons. Now you're denying her that happiness."

*Thwap**Thwap*

"I feel sorry for her, I really do. The very experience where hearts, minds, souls, and bodies unified as one when literally no one else is capable of giving that feeling. Other salamander mates get to experience that wonderful feeling and yet, she has to make do with her fingers."

*Thwap**Thwap**Thwap**Thwap**Thwap*

"And all because she's too nice to ask for something you're uncomfortable with."

*BANG*

An imaginary solid concrete crushed my confidence and dignity to bits as I couldn't say anything back.

"So now do you get it? If you're a man, then step up and take the lead." The porno was dangled right in front of my face, "Go ahead. Do it. Become one of us."

It felt as if a devil was sweet talking me to sell my soul. Then again, the situation was almost exactly that. Whatever Azazel's plotting can't be for the sole reason of progressing my intimacy with my mate. This is a trap, it's got to be. Though it's either him using me for something asinine or me using him to study about sex... Holy fuck, that didn't sound good even in my head.

Taking a deep breath, I swiped the book and steeled myself for what's to come, "This is for Miho."

Panicked footsteps reverberated through the dark foggy forest. A male bipedal red lizardman ran as fast as his webbed feet could carry him, his breath panting and mind frenzied with only one single thought to escape from the predator. He couldn't afford to be slow and stealthy, the thing was too close to get away normally.

The dreading sensation spiked up his adrenaline to ridiculous levels, he was so scared to the point he could feel the predator clutching his heart in his chest. Suddenly his mind kept hearing a non-existing voice whispering so close that his effort to escape was futile despite there was no one else but him. A rustling noise behind him caused him to instinctively turn around to check his back, only to find nothing there. He sighed in relief and kept running.

"Found you."

Shackles flew out at an incredible speed, locking the lizardman onto the ground with his back against the ground. He resisted in a desperate attempt to break free, however, to no avail. Sound of footsteps drew near, each consecutive step becoming louder which sent him closer to the dark abyss of despair. Out emerged was a human woman yet her attire was anything except normal.

Hugging her voluptuous figure was black leather from her legs to knees and hands to shoulders. The hot pants and corset barely did their job in hiding her privates. Her long dark hair tied in a high ponytail with various hunting equipment such as knives strapped around her plump thighs. Her hips shook naturally with each step and breasts waving attractively that would make any man get an instant erection.

Although appearing in her twenties, her red lips and beauty mark highlighted the mature charm she holds. The doll-like face and beautiful brown eyes nearly captivated the lizardman if it wasn't the fact that behind those gorgeous features, lies insanity and twisted resolution that revealed she would go any length in order to achieve her goals.

An amused chuckle escaped her mouth before she spoke in a very smooth and sexy voice. She looked down at her prize with evil and sadism, "Did you really think you could run away from me? Though it did provide some entertainment if I do say so myself."

"Y-y-you monster" No amount of anger in his tone or sharp fangs he showed could conceal his fear, "Why are y-you doing this to me!? I have never wronged you!"

"Correct. You didn't do anything to deserve this. I simply wanted to take you for my own pleasure."

"That is not fair!"

"Of course it is not fair... for you." The high heeled boot crashed onto his chest, eliciting a scream of pain which was music to her ears, "However, it is fair to me. After all, the world revolves around me."

"B-bitch."

The insult brought a smile to her face, grinding her heel deeper into his body. Despite the slender figure, she possessed a great amount of supernatural strength, "You are showing a good face. Very good indeed. It would be boring if you give up so soon."

"What do you want f-from me?"

"Was I not clear enough? I wanted entertainment." The lizardman greedily gulped in air as she finally eased up, "I have heard rumors about your specialty which can do what nothing else can't."

"Our armored scales?" He grinned victoriously, "Too bad for you, mine is nothing compared our leader's. You might as well be wearing nothing if that is what you after."

"Oh please, I have better armor that what you reptiles could provide. I was searching for you for a more... satisfying desire."

The boot slowly glided south until she rubbed her feet against the loincloth. Whatever confidence the lizardman had before melted into fear and disbelief, "You are absolutely vile and disgusting! You dare to take what my future mate rightfully deserves!?"

"Ah ah ah, you do not have a mate yet right?" A jolt of guilt and pleasure coursed through the lizardman as she increased the pressure, "You see, all the human males couldn't satisfy me. They all give out and fall unconscious before I could have my share of goodness. And then I heard about lizardmen, strong and attractive to add with your asset, unlike those goblins and orcs."

"You are wasting your time bitch. Our bodies are not that easy to react from anyone who are not our destined partners. Even if you succeed, I will instinctively reject you no matter how hard you try."

"How marvelous, your species are well-equipped and stubborn as they say." She lifted her heel and slowly walked around her captive until she bent down where her very impressive bust was above his eyes, "Although I may seem this way, I never cheat on a man while a relationship lasts. Who knows? Maybe you may finally be my last."

"By detaining me with these infernal contraptions!? This is how you seek a mate? Are you still sane!?"

"One cannot achieve enlightenment by remaining sane." Crazy giggles proved she was not lying, "This is not my first visit in this forest. After a few days of searching, I felt a spark when I saw you... when I saw your bulge."

"You were spying on me!?"

"Of course. And I noticed just how lonely you are with no female to accompany you, which is why I decided to come to you." With a swift flick of her wrist, the loincloth was split in clean half and displayed what she was craving for so long, "Wow. Would you look at that. It's not even hard and it's already bigger than my hand."

He felt great shame for allowing a stranger to take advantage of him and struggled harder.

"I would appreciate if you don't tire yourself out, save some energy when you shake your hips. Or rather, I can do all the shaking. Either way is fine."

"Release me at once! Defile me and I will excrete inside you!"

"Been there, done that." Not wanting to wait any longer, she straddled on his abdomen and undressed slowly. And for some reason, the captive was so enamored by the sex appeal that he forgot he was binded, much to her glee. She smiled hysterically, "Aw, does babe love what he sees? If you're good, I'll even let your hands free to touch them."

That snapped him back to reality with a blush, "Pre-preposterous. A mad woman like you could never seize me."

"Then how about we mix it up a little? Some mating would change your mind and if all goes well, we can spend our days like this together forever. Hmm, we do need to get you hard though."

"Do your worst bitch."

"Oh I will." A smooth hand stroked the flaccid rod, barely earning a reaction aside from twitches. However, she was simply teasing him with her finger poking the tip. The real deal started when she reached the back area. Whatever little bravado the lizardman vanished as her index finger was inserted into his orifice.

"Guh!" While he felt slight pain, it was nothing compared to the pleasure the digit provided in his erogenous zone. She was clearly skilled and experienced with all sorts of immoral play.

Soon the finger started moving in and out, jolting more pleasure into his systems. He willed with his entire might to resist though slowly, within his deep conscious, he began to actually enjoy it. His member twitching more violently as it rose higher and extended longer. The pupils within the insane sultry tormentor transformed into heart-shaped, inserting another finger and speeding up, "See, we can find a compromise."

"Gu- I- Arh-..."

Happy to see her prize longer and thicker than her own arm, she stopped and motioned her lower lips just above the tip, "Trust me, you will love it."

He whimpered pathetically, "A-at least, please be ge-gentle. It's my fi-first time."

A sadistic glean shined as she forcefully swallowed him whole.

Rias and Akeno finished their practice and arrived at the clubroom. However, they met with a very weird situation. Azazel was cackling hysterically while their juniors were engrossed in a book. Daisuke was lying down on the couch unconscious with Miho fanning him.

"Azazel, what shenanigans have you created this time?"

"Ahahahaha!" The dual colour haired fallen wiped the tear in his eyes, "You have to listen to this. Daisuke passed out with a nosebleed from reading one sex scene."

"Holy shit." Blood gushed out of Issei's nose, "I can't believe she did that."

"This feels very dirty."

"Then don't read Asia-senpai." Koneko absorbed whatever information she could get, "Let me have your share."

"I can't do this anymore." Gasper went into his box and closed the lid, "My path has been wavered!"

"Quite intriguing." Xenovia spoke out in interest, "This could prove useful in the future."

"I..." Miho glanced at her knocked out mate before reading more, "I did not know our rectums could be used that way."

Yuuto was sitting quietly in the corner, though his quick glimpses said he was somewhat interested.

"Ara ara, so young and innocent, and so easy to corrupt."

The King rubbed her temples before glaring at their teacher, "Fooling everyone into your trap might be possible, but how did you ensnare Daisuke of all people?"

"Simple. Just say that it's all for the sake of his lizard wife and BAM. Hook, line, and sinker."

Akeno joined the group, leaving the red head alone to deal with the problem, "I do not have the tolerance to know what kind of obscenity in that atrocity you call book if it could fall even Daisuke. Where did you even find that?"

"There weren't any good quality porn in the human world and then I offhandedly thought 'I could do better than this'. It also helped that I had a business discussion with a certain author in Kuoh which gave me some inspiration. Glad that everyone appreciates my work."

"You are sick, disgusting, and a very horrible influence to the young."

"Don't act as if you're not interested. From what I can tell, Daisuke enjoyed reading it and I bet you might make him look your way with those special techniques in my book."

A flush spread to Rias' face as she spluttered with the intention to mask her desires. She was already holding back a great deal to change and if she got into another argument with Miho, the situation would end very badly and extra crispy.

"NO MIHO! NOT THE PEANUT BUTTER! ANYTHING BUT THE PEANUT BUTTER!"

Daisuke lurched forward, panting as well as sweating until he finally recomposed himself and sighed in relief, "It was just a nightmare." He then noticed everyone staring him, more specifically his mate, before asking fearfully, "Y-you didn't hear that right?"

"I..." The pinkette put down the fan while avoiding his nervous gaze, "I saw nothing and most certainly did not hear anything."

...

The room was drowned by the sound of Azazel's cackling.

Outplayed by the tens-of-thousands-year-old fallen angel. I an idiot for falling for that. Now I'm having a hard time thinking about Miho without remembering the similar-looking crazy woman from that book... At least now I know what not to do to avoid a bad laid.

"Alright, so here are the winners who will advance to the next round." A holographic projection appeared next to Azazel, displaying the Kings.

The purpose of the tournament was more to show off what the newest generation of devils could do before appearing in the official Rating Games. Six teams will face each other in the first round. Us against Sitri, Bael versus Glasya-Labolas, and Astaroth dueling with Agares. The winners will face each other in the second round while the losers do the same, meaning each group will have three matches in total for the entire tournament. And overall rankings are decided by point system depending on the matches.

Unless my memory is wrong, everything will go according to canon and we'll fight Diodora and Sairaorg in the future. And Sona still has chances to prove herself to fulfill her dream.

The Governor General first showed us Sairaorg's fight. Each commanded their peerage well, more so for Sairaorg until his opponent got cornered and ended with a King-on-King. Long story short, the former powered through literally everything and won, he didn't even take off his weights, used touki, or dispatch Regulus.

Issei blinked from the sheer power, "Daisuke wasn't kidding when he said he's the top devil in Buchou's generation though for some reason, it doesn't feel that scary after training with Tannin-ossan and Daisuke."

"Not anymore." Our teacher added in, "If the Bael kid doesn't have a hidden ace up his sleeve, Supra Burst should be more than enough. The rest of you on the other hand, you'll get your butts wiped."

Calculations and assumptions whirled in my head. Taking in the video and what happened in canon, I'd say maybe he's... still stronger than me but not too much. Push comes to shove, susanoo could be necessary assuming it'd be one-on-one of course.

"Unlike Sairaorg-san, Hanwei-kun has much more technique and versatility to supplement his incredible power."

"Just because he's not as troublesome as Daisuke, that doesn't mean you can underestimate him or his peerage." Azazel chided and ignored the yankee losing state, "Zephyrdor is out of the tournament. After the crushing defeat, his confidence is completely shattered and fear was etched into his heart."

There were a few people here smiled at that because of his verbal bullying at me a month ago. To be honest, I don't exactly hate him and have some pity for him, maybe he'll get back on his feet in the future with a hopefully better attitude... Come to think of it, I haven't heard anything about fire chicken either.

"Don't become like Zephyrdor, Sairaorg will come at you with everything you got. Should you all give in to despair, you'll never reach the top."

"Yes, we know." Rias answered firmly.

"Good. Now I want you to pay close attention to the next video."

The screen presented Diodora's fight as he steamrolled Seekvaira and her peerage with his own supporting him. A wizard-type King marching into the battlefield head on before anyone else and blasted everyone with demonic magic. And he was definitely stronger than he should be. Alicia and the other girls don't appear happy or sad, only stoic. There's also the matter of whether they can still be saved or not.

Akeno narrowed her eyes, "Diodora-san is far stronger than what we have heard, could he be hiding his strength this whole time."

"Not likely." Rias replied, studying the video closer, "He was never someone to hold back from what I could gather. Is it possible for him to become this much stronger in a short time?"

"I doubt it. He's simply throwing around magic like free candy, those movements are too amateurish to be something earned from training. No way someone can get that strong that fast."

Most people in the room deadpanned at me and Miho.

"... We have special circumstances, and tormented by the Ultimate Rook for three whole weeks."

"Daisuke does have a point. Diodora couldn't have trained to gain this power and he wasn't hiding his potential either. In other words, he has tricks up his sleeve while keeping a low profile on his peerage's abilities so don't let your guard down. However, we do know that-"

A teleportation magic circle emerged from the center of the clubroom, revealing the one person I want to use his head as a soccer ball.

"Good day. It is I, Diodora Astaroth. It is a pleasure to see you again Asia."

I grabbed Issei's shoulder before he could do anything impulsive, telling him that everything will be okay. Akeno went to serve tea for the Kings who were sitting opposite of each other while we lined up at a corner. The Pawn and female Knight made sure to stay by Asia's sides.

"Thank you for visiting us today Diodora. However, it was impertinent of you to not schedule a meeting in my territory beforehand."

"How careless of me Rias-san. I was too captivated by Asia's beauty and compelled to see her so much to the point I forgot to do so."

The fucker didn't even apologize.

"To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?"

"Straight to the point I see, very well. I have to come to speak business about the ownership of your Bishop, Asia Argento."

Issei nearly lost it until I had to karate chop his head.

"Were you not informed about my message pertaining Asia who has no desire to meet you? Or was the message lost along the way?"

"That is not the case. I can understand how valuable her Twilight Healing is, which is why I would like to suggest a trade. My Bishops are worthy enough to replace her I believe."

"There is no need. Asia is more than my Bishop, we have spent time together and bonded. I view her as my little sister now, an irreplaceable member of my family. Furthermore, your methods of proposing are far from my and Asia's expectations."

Rias replied confidently, relieving everyone's tension. Diodora didn't falter, continuing to smile politely, "How unfortunate, I will be sure to remember that and return for now. However, I will not give up."

He got up and walked towards Asia.

"Don't do anything physical... yet." I gave Issei the signal and he rushed in front of the timid Bishop.

Two males were facing each other, one glaring while the other smiling politely with an irritated air around him. Everyone anticipated for an outbreak until our King gave us a silent command to not do anything.

"Would you kindly step aside? I wish to give Asia a farewell before I leave."

"She doesn't want anything to do with you so go home."

"How uncouth, I cannot imagine how a filthy dragon such as yourself can decide for Asia."

The Pawn flinched, remembering his time about reincarnating Asia into a devil and striping her a nun status no doubt. There was always guilt around Issei whenever he tries to help her integrate into Japan and even when he asked Michael to allow the former nun to pray again. Issei regained his wits and countered-

"Please do not say that!"

Not. Asia yelled with loudest voice I've ever heard from her, clinging onto Issei's side, "Issei-san became my first friend, he gave me a home and family! He is very kind to me and I want to stay by his side! So please do not insult him!"

...

We were astounded by the cutest/scariest glare she could muster at Diodora, more so for the Pawn.

For a moment, I could tell the slight twitch in the fucker's ever-present smile, "In that case, I will defeat the Sekiyuutei and prove myself worthy of your love."

"Bring it on you bastard! I'll make sure you won't come close to Asia ever again!"

"Good timing." Azazel piped up after remaining in the sidelines, "I just received word. The date for your Rating Game is in five days."

"I should prepare myself for the game. Farewell, Asia." The Astaroth flashed a smile at her before finally leaving.

Who knew restraining to not punch that fucker could be so stressful? Letting out a breath I held, "Way to go Asia, I knew you had the fire in you though even I didn't see that co-"

"Wh-wh-wh-what do I do?" Asia quivered like a scared little kitty while blushing up a storm, "I was incredibly ru-rude to someone. Diodora-san was at fault but I still yelled at him. Oh god, please forgive me for my bad behavior."

"I take it back, you're still the innocent little munchkin we all know and care about."

We all chuckled at Asia's adorable naivety. Leave it to the blonde to sap the pressure away from the atmosphere.

Guest 1: Yes, dating a familiar may be weird. But the Familiar of Zero anime and the succubus familiar manga were good.

Guest 2: I'll probably end this after Season 4 but still not sure, will decide later. And yes, I'll give a brief summary.

Guest 3: Happy belated birthday.

AN: I know, I know. Very late update. I was occupied with A LOT of assignments and playing digimon cyber sleuth. I'll still be busy so the next chapter will also be very late. I apologize to everyone. Hope you all like it. Please leave a review and tell me what you think.
