Ruruko zips around the training room, attempting to catch me off guard. It won't work, my stats are too much higher than hers, she can't move fast enough to confuse my senses. But it's a strategy I approve of, so I let her keep doing it.
She's making good use of the Hermes Boots I gave her, which increase her movement speed. They also allow her to fly, but she can already do that pretty well.
We've been going for a while though, and I can tell her stamina is starting to suffer. It doesn't stop her from aiming a kick at my head faster than the last one she tried. But just like every other kick she's thrown at me, I use [Iron Body] to catch it.
I take a moment to lament my lack of Senjutsu skills. I was excited when my racial transformation unlocked the ability to do them. But I haven't unlocked any yet. Kuroka hasn't been around in a while, so I haven't been able to ask her to teach me, and when I tried asking Koneko...Well, she tried her best, but it's a little too instinctual for her to guide me in doing it myself.
I'll unlock them eventually though. Until then, I have more than enough skills to level. After blocking Ruruko's kick, I grab her with [Telekinesis] and throw her back a good twenty feet. She's used to it by now though, and easily lands on her feet and tries again.
These training sessions are just as useful to me as they are for the girls. They get to face someone far above their power level, and I get to face a variety of opponents and practice different skills against them. Like today, where I can focus on practicing my defense and my [Telekinesis], and Ruruko can try to break through the defenses of someone far stronger and faster than she is. We've both definitely improved, my own skills have leveled up a few times, and she's gotten faster and each kick has been stronger than the last.
By the time our training is done Ruruko collapses from fatigue. I sigh and [Void Travel] up to her, picking her up. "You're pushing yourself too hard," I chide her.
She shakes her head. "All I'm good at is kicking," she says. "My magic is sub-par and I fumble with weapons. I'm fast though, and I kick hard. So I need to make sure I'm really good at it, or else I'll get left behind."
"No one will leave you behind," I reassure her as I carry her to the showers. "Just don't overtrain, okay?"
She sighs. "I won't, I won't. I just got a little frustrated with how easily you blocked me."
"That's why I'm the one training you girls," I explain. "There are people even tougher than me, and you need to be ready for them."
We get to the showers and I set her down on a bench. It's a group shower room, so there are lockers and benches like you'd find in a gym. The two of us start stripping out of our sweaty and gross clothes.
"I know," she replies. "Don't worry about me, I know how far I can push myself." She looks over my naked body. "Though maybe I overdid it a little. I think I'm too tired to have any fun right now."
I laugh. "Well, I guess that's what you get," I tease her. "But that's fine. I know my libido is seemingly endless, but it's also pretty ignorable. We can just shower."
Ruruko nods, though I feel a bit of disappointment from her. She was probably looking forward to fooling around, it's been a while since the two of us have had sex without other girls present. Instead, we shower normally. Okay, so there's a little bit of light groping as we help wash each other, but it doesn't lead anywhere.
After I see her off I spend some time enchanting objects. I have a lot of things I need to enchant, but frequent trips to the dungeons and buying from the NPC Vendors have left me with more than enough Enchantment Crystals. I don't bother doing it in my alchemy room. Instead, I sit in my office on one of the couches and do my enchanting in comfort.
Ravel is there, silently working on some paperwork. She seems mildly curious about what I'm doing, but she isn't asking any questions.
As I'm working there's a knock on the door. [Void Detect] tells me it's Mittelt, and she's carrying a box.
"Come in," I call out. The door opens and Mittelt enters, looking around. She stiffens slightly when she sees Ravel, but she walks over to me, closing the door behind her.
"Azazel dropped this off, sir," she says to me as she places the box on the coffee table in front of me.
I blink in surprise. "Azazel was here just now?" I ask. I hadn't noticed him at all, which was definitely not right.
Mittelt shakes her head. "No sir, he dropped it off this morning," she answers nervously. Nervously? Ah, I see what's happening here. My plan has backfired a little, but I can work with this.
"This morning," I repeat, my tone suddenly cold. Mittelt stiffens slightly even as her arousal kicks up a notch. "Azazel, leader of the Grigori family, the largest Fallen Angel faction to exist, and an important client of mine, dropped off a package for me this morning, and you're only giving it to me now?" I glare at her.
"You were at school-" she starts but I raise a hand, cutting her off.
"I don't care how busy I am," I say. "You have ways of contacting me. You have a phone even, everyone in this house does, I made sure of it. Even my familiars have phones. You could have sent me a text, and since it's almost certainly important, I could have quickly come over to take a look at it."
"I didn't want to-" she tries to defend herself, but I don't give her the chance.
"It doesn't matter what you want," I tell her. "Did you even tell Sakuya? No, don't even bother answering. If you had, I would have heard about it before now." I sigh, playing it up a little for the sake of the roleplay.
She definitely deliberately didn't give me the package earlier purely so this conversation would happen. She wanted to be punished, to be put into her place. She was escalating our little game. I'm actually annoyed though because I can detect the two objects in the box, and they are definitely things I would have wanted to know about, and not things I would want Mittelt to hang on to for an extended period of time.
Still, I'm not as annoyed as I'm pretending to be. If I was actually annoyed, I wouldn't indulge her in this, I wouldn't play along. As it is, I'm also glad for the excuse. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on her.
"I'm- I'm sorry," she stutters slightly. "I understand, I'll make sure not to repeat that mistake in the future."
"Oh I'm sure you won't, but you aren't getting off that easily," I say. "Bend over, rest your stomach on my lap."
Her eyes widen and I feel her arousal massively shoot up. She nods and follows my instructions. I spot Ravel watching with mild interest as Mittelt positions herself with her ass sticking out, her skirt barely covering it. I wink at her before I turn my attention to Mittelt.
I lift her skirt up, completely exposing her due to her lack of panties. "Let's make sure you remember next time," I say as my hand lightly brushes against her left butt cheek. She shivers at my touch. Hmm. With a thought, I activate [Touch of Pleasure] and [Increase Sensitivity]. That'll make this more interesting.
I pull my hand back, only to bring it down with a loud smack as I spank her. She jolts and lets out a small yelp.
"Start counting," I instruct her as I bring down my hand again, this time on her other cheek.
"Two!" she shouts, high pitched.
"I said start counting," I chastise her. "Start again, from the beginning." I spank her again.
"One!" she yelps, back arched and stiff at the dual feelings of pleasure and pain, amplified by my skills.
"Good, now don't stop," I tell her, and I continue to spank her. I alternate cheeks and watch as they steadily grow reddened, and her visible slit grows moist. Ravel watches with interest, completely distracted from her work, hand between her legs. She's not masturbating, she's just squeezing her hand between her thighs, obviously resisting the temptation to touch herself. That's right, she's a masochist, isn't she? She's also into powerplay. She's probably even more into this than Mittelt is.
"Fourteen!" Mittelt shouts as I spank her again. Her entire body is shaking and I can't tell how much is from pain and how much is from pleasure. At this point, I suspect there's little difference between the two for her. This is probably good enough. I bring my hand down one more time, smacking her a little harder than the previous ones.
"Fifteen!" she shouts.
"I think that will be enough," I say. "You can stand up now." She does so, her legs unsteady and her face flushed as she faces me. "You can go back to your normal duties now," I tell her. "Oh, and Mittelt? Do this again, and your punishment will be much less fun, understood?" After all, I couldn't have her actually inconveniencing me with her antics.
Mittelt's flushed face pales slightly as she nods, message received. "Good," I say. "You're dismissed." She curtsies and leaves the room, steps slightly awkward as it obviously pained her to move.
I turn to grin at Ravel. "Did you enjoy the show?" I ask her.
She blushes slightly, but nods. "It was...very arousing," she says.
I grin and turn my attention to the box that Mittelt left. "I'd love to treat you to the same, but I believe this is going to take my immediate attention."
"That's alright sir, we can save it for tonight," she replies. She has a point, it's just a few hours until we go to bed. It's a Thursday night, so it'll be me, Asia, Kyu, Ravel, and maybe Koneko. The others usually don't join on school nights.
I make a noise of agreement and open the box. Inside are two objects. The first is a necklace with a marble attached to it. That marble glows with purple fire and has a black slit in it, reminiscent of an eye.
Artificial Sacred Gear - Ultimate End
An artificial Sacred Gear made by Azazel using the soul of an Ender Dragon. Allows the user to teleport within a certain range. More features can be unlocked with a Balance Breaker.
Huh. Edgy name aside, the ability to teleport isn't really what I expected from the Ender Dragon. I mean, sure, the Endermen could teleport, so it's not that big of a leap, but the Dragon never did. Could it? It didn't during our fight. Maybe it's too energy-intensive, and flying is more efficient? Depending on what the range is, I can definitely see that being the case. The Ender Dragon was pretty big after all.
I immediately store it in my inventory. I know exactly who's getting that. But first, I need to double-check the other item in the box, a stack of papers a couple of inches thick. I pull them out and start flipping through them, making sure they haven't been altered and that Azazel signed everywhere he needed to.
I nod as I finish checking it. Finally, this part of the process is done. I stand up and move towards the filing cabinets.
"Do you want me to file that for you, sir?" Ravel asks, ever eager to be helpful.
"No, this isn't related to Axton's Alchemical Solutions," I tell her as I approach the more secure filing cabinet. I unlock it with a key and open it up. Only one drawer has anything in it, and it's not much. Two more stacks of paper, each bearing their own signatures, and another much larger stack of paper. I put this one next to the other two and then relock the filing cabinet.
"Ah, it's for your secret project," Ravel comments.
I chuckle. "I guess I have been pretty tight-lipped about it," I say in amusement. "Well, there's a reason I can't tell you about it. Don't worry, I'll be able to reveal it soon. With that piece, the prep work is almost done." It only took a couple weeks of back and forth messaging with Azazel. Honestly, it's going more smoothly than I could have hoped, but then again, I'm not really breaking new ground, just giving it a new shape.
"Don't worry sir, I know that confidentiality is important, I don't take you keeping it secret personally," she says with a reassuring smile.
"And that's why you're the best," I tell her, causing her to blush slightly. "But if you'll excuse me, I need to give the other delivered item to its new owner." She nods, and after a quick look with [Void Sight], I [Void Travel] to Aika's room.
She jumps slightly as I suddenly appear in her room, but she gets up from her desk and hugs me. "Axton!" she exclaims, counting on me to keep it quiet. "What are you doing here?"
"I brought a gift," I said. "Well, sorta. It's a powerup, something to make you more dangerous and to keep you safe."
"That's definitely a gift," she says enthusiastically. "What is it?"
I pull out Ultimate End. "Azazel, leader of the Fallen Angels, can make things called Artificial Sacred Gears. As the name implies, they're Sacred Gears but you don't have to be born with it, you can just use it. This is one I commissioned from him, for you."
I place it around her neck, and she looks down at the purple eye with interest. "What does it do?"
"It lets you teleport," I say. "Not the most powerful thing, but it's an extremely good utility, especially when combined with your magic."
"I'd rather have that than something offensive," Aika says. "You have no idea how jealous I am of your quick and easy teleportation. Is this the same thing?"
"It should be pretty similar, but why don't we go try it out?" She nods eagerly, so I whisk us to my training room.
"Why don't we start small?" I say. "Try teleporting a few feet away."
"Alright," she says. I can see her focus, her eyes burning a hole into the ground a few feet away. For a handful of seconds, nothing happens. But finally, with a quiet pop, Aika is suddenly standing in the spot she was staring at. There are a few small purple cinders where she was standing before, but they fade away to nothing quickly.
Aika turns to face me, her hands in the air in celebration. "I did it!"
"You sure did," I reply with a smile. "Was there some sort of charge time, or were you figuring it out?"
She grins and suddenly appears in front of me. "Figuring it out. Once I did that, it was instant."
Huh. She doesn't have to take a step or anything. In that way, her teleportation is even better than mine since I still need to physically move to activate it. "Let's start testing your range then."
We do so, and it turns out that her range is hard to pin down. Rather than having a hard limit, it seems like going further just requires more effort. Within a few hundred feet, her teleportation is instantaneous and effortless. But beyond that, it steadily gets more and more difficult for her to teleport, requiring a charge time and tiring her out.
I stop her before we practice too much though. "No point in tiring you on a school night," I tell her. "We have a pretty good idea of your limits, and you can keep practicing with it and see if it improves."
She nods, now much less energetic than before. "Sure, will do. You're giving me a ride home, right?" she asks. I roll my eyes and use [Void Travel] to bring us both back to her room.
"Thanks," she says. She looks at her homework, unfinished on her desk. "Ugh, I'm too tired for math."
"I'll let you copy mine tomorrow morning," I tell her, having done mine in class. I'm too busy to waste time at home doing homework.
She pauses for a moment before nodding. "Fine, just this once," she agrees. She gives me a hug and our lips meet as we kiss. We say our goodbyes and I leave, headed back home. I go straight to my alchemy room. This time I'm interested in the barrel of wine. My [Brewing] skill is telling me that, with the amount of mana I've put into it, it's fermented enough.
I crack open the barrel and use [Observe].
Barrel of simple wine
A simple wine perfect for going along with any kind of meal.
Well, not bad I guess. "Simple" is better than "Basic". I quickly prepare another barrel, charge the gem with mana, and bring the barrel of wine upstairs and into the main kitchen. The barrels I use have a spigot attached already, so I set it up in the corner and leave a note on it saying that anyone is free to have some. It's not good enough to sell yet, but [Observe] is right. I take a taste of it myself and it's decent enough wine.
As I'm sipping at a glass of it, wondering how I can improve it in the future, Tatsumaki floats into the kitchen, naked as the day she was born. Tatsumaki being a nudist is probably the best surprise about her I possibly could have gotten.
"Holy shit that's a lot of wine," she says, looking at the barrel. "Planning a party?"
"No, I made it," I explain.
She raises an eyebrow at me. "A 16-year-old making, and drinking, wine? Is that legal here?"
"No," I say as I take another sip. "But does it matter?"
She shrugs. "I guess not, especially if it's good. Gimme a glass. As an adult, I'll rate its quality."
I shrug and pour a glass for her, handing it over. "I'm still a beginner, so don't set your expectations too high."
She takes a sip and mulls it over. I can't tell if she's actually knowledgeable about wine, or is just putting on a show, trying to be the mature one here. She's floating high enough that the top of her head is a couple inches above mine after all.
"Not half bad," she judges. "I've had better, but I could drink a lot of this."
I gesture at the barrel. "By all means, I wouldn't want my practice wine to go to waste." I'm probably not going to drink much. My CON makes it hard for me to get drunk, so there's no point beyond the taste. I hope to change that eventually though.
"Don't mind if I do," she says cheerfully as she uses her telekinesis to pull more wine out of the spigot and directs it to her glass, not spilling a single drop as she does so.
Two hours and a good fifth of the barrel later, I'm patiently nodding as Tatsumaki rants. We've moved from the kitchen, which she claims is too big and boring, to her bedroom, taking the entire barrel of wine with us.
"I jush wantched her to have a normal life!" Tatsumaki yells. "My powersh got me locksed up by assholes for two years! They bring nothhing but troublesh."
"But that's not what she wanted," I say.
"Sho what!" she yells, almost spilling her wine as she throws her arm wide. "Sshe should've jusht lischened to me!"
"You know why she didn't," I say tiredly. We've been over this point a few times by now. But this time, instead of getting angry again, she sorta slumps over.
"I know," she whispers quietly. "I know. I jusht, I miss her sho sho much." Tears start streaming down her face and she starts sniffling. Oh boy.
Before things get too bad, I gently take the glass from her hand and I pull her into a hug. "There there," I say. "I know you do. I bet she misses you too. She loves you just as much as you love her."
Tatsumaki's sniffling turns into full-blown crying at my words, and she hugs me tight, crying into my shirt. I pat her back and comfort her as she cries, getting it all out of her system. After about ten minutes of this, as her cries die down, she eventually falls asleep.
I sigh and make my way to her bed. Tatsumaki is an angry drunk that can easily turn into a sad drunk it seems. I gently peel her off of me, use [Clean Body] on her, and then tuck her into bed.
As I turn to leave, wine stashed in my inventory, I feel a force stop me. I look down to see Tatsumaki's eyes open and looking at me.
"You'll find her, right?" she asks me in a soft voice, not slurring at all. "You'll save my baby sister, just like you saved me?"
"I will, I promise," I tell her. "No matter how long it takes."
She nods, and her eyes drift shut as she falls back asleep. I wait for a moment, just to make sure, but she's out cold for real now. I grimace and look down at my shirt. The upper half of it is soaked in tears, so I just go ahead and take it off, replacing it with another one from my inventory. Well, that's not how I thought I was going to spend my evening, but no matter. I [Void Travel] back to the kitchen, leaving Tatsumaki to rest.
The next day, after school, I'm in the basement of the Occult Research Club room, in Gasper's room specifically. Gasper and Valerie invited me to play games with them, and the three of us are sitting on a couch and playing a racing game that's vaguely reminiscent of Mario Kart, but it's Devil-themed. Apparently, Ajuka Beelzebub owns a game development company, and this is one of the games they made.
I'm racing as Serafall, Gasper is Sirzechs, and Valerie is a woman named Roygun Belphegor, who is apparently the second place Rating Game champion.
"I thought you said you haven't played this game before," Gasper comments as I drift around a corner and lay an icy trail behind me.
"I haven't," I reply. "But I've played games that are pretty similar to this."
She leans forward. "Well, it won't be so easy to beat me!" She makes her character carefully maneuver around my icy trap before sending a ball of destruction forward at me. I try to dodge, but she sent it at the perfect time, right as I'm mid-drift and my options are either to get hit or slam into a wall.
I grudgingly take the hit, watching as she rushes past me, followed by an AI racer. I try to build my speed back up, pass the computer, but before I can regain first place Gasper crosses the finish line and her third lap, winning the race.
"Dammit, I was really close that time," I say as I lean back into the couch. My stats may be high, but that really doesn't help much beyond reaction time, and even that only up to a certain point. And while I spent a lot of time playing games in my previous life, Gasper has the specific experience and game knowledge of this game, and it's really hard to overcome that. But it's also genuinely a lot of fun.
"At this rate, I might have to start getting serious," Gasper boasts with a grin.
I narrow my eyes at her, even as I smile as well. "Oh, so this is you going easy on me?"
Valerie suddenly throws her hands in the air. "I didn't get last place!"
Gasper and I turn to the screen and sure enough, Valerie got 11th place out of twelve, the best she's done the entire time. She's new to the concept of video games, so she's still learning.
"Nice one Valerie," I tell her.
"Good job Val!" Gasper says. I hear a pinging noise, and Gasper pulls out her phone. As she unlocks it to look at the notification, I catch a glimpse of her wallpaper.
"Wait, your background," I comment. "Is that Hibiki's art?"
Gasper freezes, panic and confusion spiking in her before realization hits. She turns to me. "You know about her?"
"I learned about her recently," I explain. "Apparently she's been dreaming about me, she thought it was me causing it. She ended up summoning Aika to help figure out what was happening, and Aika brought her to me, where we discovered that it was her own latent supernatural heritage that was causing it."
"Oh," Gasper says, blinking as she processes all that. "I mean, I knew she lived next to you and was dreaming about you and using that in her art, but I didn't think it was anything supernatural. We haven't talked very much in the past couple of weeks."
"So you're friends with her then?" I ask. "You don't just follow her?" Actually, is this why she had such a strong crush on me before we even met? Did she fall in love with me based on Hibiki's art? If so, I'll have to thank Hibiki. Again.
She blushes. "We talk sometimes. Usually, she asks for feedback on her art before she posts it. She doesn't know what I am though."
"Well, if you want, you can let her know," I say. "She's been clued into the supernatural side of things, and is even moving into my house this weekend."
"Sh-she is?" Gasper exclaims.
"Well, after we met, one thing led to another, and I asked if she wanted to move in," I explain vaguely. Based on the blushing though, I think she understands the implication. "And she agreed, partially so she can explore her supernatural side."
"I see," Gasper says, unsure. "I guess it's a pretty small world, huh?"
"Seeing me for the first time must have been pretty crazy," I laugh. "One day your friend is sending you porn of this dude she keeps dreaming about, and the next Rias is introducing you to him."
Gasper blushes and looks away. "It was pretty unbelievable," she murmurs.
Hmm, now that I think about it, Hibiki and Gasper look kind of the same. Hibiki's hair is much longer, and their eyes are different, and Hibiki has a bigger bust, but they have the same height, general body shape, and hair color. I wonder how much Gasper was imagining it was her in those pictures instead of Hibiki? Maybe I could convince Hibiki to actually draw that?
"Another game?" I ask.
Gasper nods, grateful for the change in subject. "Yes-" she starts, only for Valerie to elbow her lightly. The two of them exchange looks, wordlessly communicating with each other. I can feel Gasper's nervousness increase, but Valerie seems insistent. After a few moments, Gasper seems to give up, and then she turns to me.
"Actually, could I ask you for another favor?" she asks, eyes refusing to meet mine and her hands picking at her skirt.
"Anything I can do to help, I'd be glad to," I say, curious about where this is going.
"Could you…" she starts. Her nervousness is higher than I've felt it before, but Valerie places a hand on her shoulder, supporting her. Gasper nods and starts again. "Could you check me over?" Gasper asks. "Make sure that the potion worked? Completely?"
Interesting. I look at the two of them. This is obviously Valerie's idea, though the 'why' isn't clear. Maybe it's her way of encouraging Gasper to act on her feelings?
"Sure, but why me?" I ask. "Why not someone like Rias or Valerie?"
Gasper pauses, not having expected the question. I guess not just rolling with it is a little out of character for me. I know the answer anyway, I just want to see what she says it is.
"Because it was your potion and you might want to see the results of it first hand?" she asks rather than answers. "I know you said you hadn't tested it out before giving it to Atsuko's client, and you never got to see the result firsthand."
A pretty feasible excuse. "That's a really good point," I admit. "Sure, I'd be happy to double-check and see for myself how effective it is. Do you want to do it here, or somewhere more private?"
"Here," Gasper insists. "I want Valerie here."
"That's fine with me," I say. "You'll need to strip so I can examine you though."
Gasper blushes but nods. She stands up from the couch and turns to face me and Valerie. With slightly shaking hands, she starts working on the buttons of her Kuoh school uniform. Hmm. She's too nervous and not relaxed enough, so I help her a bit with [Erotic Pierrot], increasing her arousal. Then, as an afterthought, I start slowly using it on Valerie. I want her to be aroused by this situation as well. I'll use Gasper to get with her, and then I'll have two sexy dhampir girls in my harem, one big and one small.
I'm not sure if increasing Gasper's arousal is making her less nervous, but her fingers are working faster now, and it doesn't take long for her to strip completely. Her arms impulsively move to cover herself, but she stops them and forces them by her side, leaving her completely naked save for her thigh-high socks.
I stand up and get closer to her, putting on a show of very carefully looking her over. Her skin is pale and smooth. She's skinny though and doesn't have many muscles. Her chest is small, a little smaller than Koneko's, but there are clear bumps that you wouldn't see on a guy with her body type. Her nipples are pink and hardened.
I turn my gaze lower. Her stomach is flat and small, and there's just the slightest hint of ribs. Hmm, note to self, fatten her up just a little bit. Skinny is nice, but I don't want to see ribs. Her hips aren't anything special. She isn't lacking in curves, though neither is she especially curvy.
Her legs are slender and long, proportionally speaking. And between them is her pussy. I can't see much of it, not at this angle and not with her legs pressed together, but it's definitely a pussy.
"Looks like it worked to me," I say. "Your body is undoubtedly female."
"Shouldn't you inspect closer?" Valerie suggests, a teasing grin on her face. "I'm not sure a purely visual examination is enough. Why don't you use your hands, make sure it's more than surface deep?"
I side-eye Valerie and wonder if that is something they had planned, or if me increasing her arousal is making her push things further. I make eye contact with Gasper, who doesn't seem too surprised by her suggestions, so probably the former.
Gasper nods, not wanting to speak I guess, so I shrug. I'm not going to turn down an invitation to grope a girl. I activate [Touch of Pleasure] and move my hands to her chest. I don't immediately go for the grope though. Instead, I run my fingers lightly across her chest, outlining her boobs and spiraling inwards until I'm tracing the edge of her areola.
She shivers and bites her lip, and Valerie's grin widens. I hit her with an extra dose of [Erotic Pierrot] and then return my attention to Gasper. I touch her nipple directly, rotating the hardened nub in small circles.
After a few seconds of that, then I move behind her and start cupping her breasts. There's not much there, but there's enough for me to sink my fingers into. There's a difference in the feeling of her boobs and the rest of her chest, and I can lift them slightly.
"These are definitely real boobs," I say. "Fun to play with too." Gasper's ears turn red, but her mouth is clamped tightly shut. Valerie, on the other hand, definitely seems to be enjoying the show. Her eyes are twinkling with amusement.
"Now, if you're fine with it, I'll inspect the lower section next," I say. Gasper, again, nods but doesn't say anything. I start with her ass. There's some heft to it, more than her chest, but it's still fairly average for her size. I run my fingertips over it, lightly teasing her before I sink my fingers into it. There's more than enough there to get a proper squeeze.
She jumps slightly when I squeeze it, and there's a muffled noise from her closed mouth. I can't tell if it was a squeak or a yelp or what. But it was definitely adorable.
"There's a little bit more to grab down here," I comment. "Now, for this next part, I'm going to need you to spread your legs. Sitting down might be the best idea."
Her nervousness increases, but there's a hint of determination in there too. She's come this far and doesn't want to back out now. She sits on the couch and wordlessly spreads her legs, exposing herself. She reaches for Valerie, and the two girls hold hands as I approach.
I kneel in front of Gasper, placing myself between her legs. Now that I'm looking closely, I can see some traces of pubic hair, thin wisps of pale blonde hair that blend in with her skin. Below it is her pussy, topped with a small hood, where her clit is. I run my finger along her slit. It's wet with arousal, but not dripping. That'll change soon.
She bites her lip and stiffens as I play with her entrance, but that's not enough. I use both hands to spread her, thoroughly examining her pussy. I can see the small entrance of her urethra, but I ignore that in favor of her vaginal entrance.
"Seems pretty normal to me so far," I comment. "However, I can make sure, if you want." Gasper nods again, but the urge to tease her is too strong to ignore. "Can you say it for me? Just to be sure."
She blushes even more and looks away. "P-please make sure th-that it's working," she stammers. Interesting phrasing, but that's exactly what I was aiming for.
I nod and slowly push a finger inside of her. She's tight, but not so much that I feel the need to use [Imbue Elasticity]. She can't stop herself from moaning though, muffled as it is by her tightly shut mouth. [Touch of Pleasure] is still active, and even if she's explored down here herself, this is more stimulation than she could have gotten used to.
I push my finger in as deep as it can go, all in the interest of the roleplay of the examination. I then start turning it, feeling at her inner walls, poking and prodding until I finally find the spot that makes her twitch. I pull my finger out then, and then I push two back in.
I go slower than the first time, and I don't go as deep, slowly stretching her out so she can comfortably fit both fingers. Her back arches and she bites her lip hard, not wanting to make a noise. Valerie, who I'm still using [Erotic Pierrot] on, watches with wide eyes. The teasing mood is gone, now she's just surprised and turned on.
When my two fingers reach deep enough, I find the spot I had found earlier, and start focusing on it. Gasper loses the fight to keep quiet, and soon her moans fill the room. They're not especially loud, but they're sweet, like music.
I start increasing the speed of my actions, stimulating her more and more. It only takes a couple minutes for her moans to increase in pitch and her insides to writhe as she cums. Her pussy clamps tightly around my fingers and her back arches, lifting completely off of the couch. She moans one last time, loud and drawn out, as she spasms.
Once she's finished I casually pull my fingers out of her and look up at her with a smile. "You cum and feel pleasure just like a woman too. I think it's safe to say that it worked completely." Not that it was ever a real concern. Everyone here knew that was just the thin excuse Gasper needed to make a move. But I'm happy to play along with that sort of thing.
Valerie's face is flushed, and [Empathy] is picking up a bit of jealousy. Perfect. "Thank you, Axton," she says, her eyes flitting between Gasper's face, her pussy, my still wet fingers, and my face. "I'm sure that will help Gasper a lot."
We both look at Gasper, who seems a little out of it after her orgasm. I might have overdone it a little. "Maybe we should call it a day here?" Valerie suggests nervously. "I'll make sure she gets cleaned up and dressed."
"If you think that's best," I say as I stand up. "Feel free to call me over to play some games any time. Or if you want to do any other kind of playing." I wink at Valerie. "We learned a lot about a woman's body today, I'd be glad to teach you about a man's."
Valerie blushes. "I...wouldn't be opposed to that, I think," she says.
"Great!" I say. "In that case, I'll see you girls later." I pat Gasper on the head and then I [Void Travel] upstairs.
Rias is alone in a sort of office-like place she has up here. There aren't any wards or anything, beyond the ones that surround the building, so I don't think anything too important is stored here. Most likely stuff related to the school and club.
I startle Rias slightly as I suddenly appear. "Axton!" she exclaims.
"Sorry for the scare," I reply. "I was just downstairs with Gasper and Valerie, and remembered something I wanted to talk to you about before I headed home."
"It's fine," she says. "What is it?"
"A gift, actually," I start, and I take out something I came up with the other day.
Portable Storage Crate
An enchanted metal crate made to hold a hundred potions. Can be stored in the owner's soul. Can be recalled at will. Can be telekinetically controlled. Can emit a bright flash of light. Self-repairing.
The soul storage was the only important enchantment there. The others are mostly just because I had room. Except for self-repairing, which I put on everything. I tried to pick useful ones, but there's only so much utility you can fit into a box.
"This is a special crate," I explain to Rias. "You know how I've enchanted some of the weapons of your Peerage so you can store them like I store things?" She nods. "Well, turns out, if I put that enchantment on something that holds other items, everything gets stored."
Her eyes widen. "Meaning you can give us pocket spaces!" she realizes.
I nod. "You still have to deploy it and take things out, and I suspect there's some sort of limit on how many and how big these can get," it's stored in their soul after all, and that's not an infinite resource, "But you can use it to carry important items. Like what I've stored here already."
I open the top of the crate to show that all 100 of the slots are filled with potions. "30 healing potions, 20 magic potions, 20 stamina potions, 15 protection potions, 10 attack potions, and 5 status cure potions," I list out. "Everything you might need for an emergency."
Rias's eyes widen, and for good reason. Based on how much I'm selling these for, the contents of this crate are worth a small fortune, even before you factor in that these are the higher quality versions and I don't even sell the protection or attack ones.
"Axton, that's way too much-"
"It's not," I cut her off. "Like I said, this is for emergencies. I care about all of you a lot. You're my friends, and some of you are my lovers. And I want you to be safe. This is just one way I can do it." I shrug. "It might be overkill, but you know what they say. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. I'm going to be giving something similar to Sona and Ravel. To be clear, I want these to be actual emergency use potions. Not for Rating Games or training, those I'm going to make you actually buy."
Rias seems a little taken aback by my whole spiel, but she nods. "I understand. When you put it that way, I can only gratefully accept." She stands up and I place the cover back on the box so she can claim it and store it in her own soul.
"I also added a few other features, because I had room and didn't want to waste it," I explain. "If someone tries to take it, or it falls somewhere, you can recall it back to you with a thought. You can also telekinetically control it. And finally, it can emit a bright flash of light, like a flashbang without the bang."
Rias nods. "I can see how they might be useful in an emergency. After all, if I pull this out in a battle, my enemies will definitely try to grab it and use it for themselves." She turns to face me. "Don't worry, I'll use these to keep your lovers safe."
"Use them to keep all of you safe," I say. "I care about all of you, even the ones I don't sleep with regularly. That includes you." Plus, they'll all be in my harem eventually. Except maybe Kiba, I don't think he'll be as open to the idea of a genderbend potion as Gasper was. Although, he also hasn't really shown any interest in romance either. Maybe there's something there?
Rias blushes, but she nods. "O-of course. Actually, speaking of my peerage, there was something I wanted to talk to you about as well."
Not the most subtle of subject changes, but it's also cute to see Rias flustered. "What about them?"
"I was thinking that, since your household is growing larger, and since half of my peerage is living with you, it would be fair to lend you one of the Gremory maids," Rias explains.
"I see," I reply as I consider her offer. I hadn't wanted to borrow any maids from anyone, but from my regular meetings with Sakuya and Wilhelm, I know that another hand would go a long way. I don't have a good reason to turn down an offer like that. "That would be much appreciated."
Rias nods, satisfied. "Good. Grayfia has mentioned how little she has to do back at home on a few occasions. Our place is too small for a maid like her, she would be just as bored. I'm sure she'll be happy to work for you for a time."
I blink. Grayfia? I was expecting some minor maid. I know Grayfia is a maid for the Gremory's as well as Sirzechs's wife and Queen, and I feel like those other two would preclude her from even temporarily joining my household.
"Sirzechs won't mind me borrowing Grayfia?" I ask, unsure.
Rias shakes her head casually as she goes to sit down on the couch, and I sit next to her. "Not at all. My brother very rarely needs his Peerage members. Satans don't exactly fight in Rating Games, and it's rare for him to need to fight in full force. He'll call her to his side in an emergency, but otherwise, she acts as the Gremory maid."
Ouch. I guess maybe their marriage isn't doing as well as I thought. "In that case, I gratefully accept. Should I prepare a room for Millicas as well?"
Rias looks at me with a strange look. "Prepare a room for who?"
Wait, what? "Millicas?" I repeat, confused. "Grayfia and Sirzechs son?"
Rias slowly shook her head, looking at me in confusion. "I assure you, Grayfia and Sirzechs do not have a child together. I know there are rumors about them being an item, but that has never been the case."
It's exceedingly difficult to school my expression at those words because my mind is reeling. What is she talking about? Grayfia and Sirzechs aren't together? She doesn't know who Millicas is? Is there some sort of mind fuckery happening?
No, wait. The Random Reality Warp. This is what it did, isn't it? It made it so Grayfia and Sirzechs never fell in love, never married, never had Millicas. It's kind of scary that it erased the existence of a person, though personally, I didn't care about Millicas one way or another.
I put on a fake expression of annoyance. "Is that so? My information must have been bad. Usually I'm pretty good at filtering out the rumors, but I guess that one got through."
Rias seems to buy my excuse, smiling at me with a mildly amused expression. "Now I'm wondering what other sort of rumors might have slipped through that filter of yours, and what kind of strange things you might have heard about other important Devils."
I force a laugh, even as my mind whirls. "I'll have to double-check everything, and make sure my sources are reliable." I look down at my watch. "Speaking of which, I need to do that, and I have some other work, so I'll be headed home now. Send over Grayfia whenever, I'll tell Sakuya to be expecting her."
"Sure thing Axton," she says with a smile. "I'll see you later then."
I nod and [Void Travel] away, headed back home. I finally have the resources and time to make a lot of enchanted gear I've been wanting to make for ages, and I want to work on that. But my mind can't get off the topic of Grayfia.
Grayfia is hot. So very very hot. Granted, I prefer Sakuya, but that's like saying I prefer red sports cars over scarlet ones. They're very nearly identical. It'll be amusing to see them interact. But more importantly, it'll be arousing to have both of them sucking my cock at the same time.
I want Grayfia. I always have, but I'm not willing to pursue women who are already in relationships. It's a dick move and even if I could get away with it, which I probably can, it would ruin the feeling. But now that reality has literally been written to make her single?
I grin as I appear in my alchemy room. Officially speaking I might only be borrowing Grayfia, but before long she'll be entirely mine.
The next morning I meet with Sona's group as normal, but I stop them before we enter the dungeon.
"Before we get started for the day, I have some goodies to hand out," I tell them all. "Enchanted equipment, custom made for you guys." Sona and I had ended up having that talk about the gear via text messages since our meetup had ended up not being very productive.
"You finished already?" Sona asks in surprise.
I shrug. "I had some free time yesterday. I got a lot more than this done." I turn to them. "I have three enchanted items for each of you. Two of them are the same for each of you." I pull those out now.
Kuoh Academy Enchanted Uniform
The standard Kuoh Academy uniform made of Arachne Silk and is heavily enchanted. Reduces all damage by 50%. Reduces Light and Holy damage by 50%. Massively increases HP Regen. Boosts their teammates using this same enchantment. Self-repairing.
Student Council Ring
A ring that signifies the wearer is part of Kuoh Academy's Student Council. Provides a telepathic link to those wearing matching rings. Massively increases MP Regen. Massively increases SP Regen. Teleports the user to a predetermined safe spot when their health goes below 5%. Self-repairing.
Sona wanted matching outfits and liked the idea of going with the Kuoh uniform. She also liked the rings I had made for Rias, so I did something similar here, though I tweaked the enchantments to suit her group.
"Oooh!" Tomoe says as she picks up one of the uniforms. "This isn't the normal fabric. Did you make these?"
"I did," I confirm. "While I'm more used to using my skills to make light armor, I'm not a bad tailor." And making those uniforms increased my [Tailoring] skill enough that I unlocked a new aspect of the ability.
[Tailoring] - Level 76(63%)
Use fabric or cloth to create clothes and light armor, or turn animal hides and plant matter into fabric and cloth. Can pour mana into a piece of cloth to repair it.
I can't help but wonder what will happen when it reaches 100, what new aspect of the skill will unlock.
"I knew you were good with your hands, but I didn't expect this," she comments. "Not a lot of guys bother learning how to make and repair clothes."
I shrug. "It's a useful skill," I reply. "I'm not so insecure that I'll ignore something useful just because it's a traditionally feminine skill." I then explain to them the enchantments on each of the items before I start handing out everyone's third item.
Sitri Diadem
A diadem custom made for Sona Sitri, made of platinum and sapphire. Converts damage taken to MP. Massively increases Water Magic. Can store up to 750,000 MP. Has a 10% chance of deflecting spells cast at or on the wearer. Self-repairing.
Sona's item was easy to design. A classic casting item for a water mage. It being a diadem was done mostly on a whim, because she's the King, so a crown seemed fitting.
Enchanted Naginata
A quality Naginata that has been enchanted. Can return to the wielder at will. Has a 50% chance to deal double damage. The pole can extend up to 25 meters at will. Can be stored in the user's soul. Self-repairing.
I had borrowed Tsubaki's normal naginata and enchanted it. With weapons, I like to make them so they can be available at any time, but other than the pole extending one, I don't have that many enchantments suited for it. Maybe some elemental damage, but her magic is good enough to add those buffs if she wants them.
Amulet of Protection
A necklace made of platinum with a diamond gem. Stores up to 1 million MP. Converts damage taken to MP. Has a 10% chance of deflecting spells cast at or on the wearer. Grants the wearer the ability to always be able to see. Self-repairing.
For Momo I made a simple amulet to keep her safe. Since her specialty is barriers, keeping her safe will keep the rest of them safe.
Staff of Power
A sturdy metal staff topped by a diamond. Massively increases the effectiveness of attacks that take advantage of weaknesses. Can store up to 1 million MP. Leeches MP from the enemy equal to damage dealt. Can be stored in the user's soul.
For Reya, a staff that will increase her magical abilities. It's a little generic, but definitely useful.
Enchanted Katana
A quality katana that has been enchanted. Increases the user's DEX by 100. Has a 50% chance of doing double damage. Attacks dealt with this weapon bleed much more heavily. Can be stored in the user's soul. Self-repairing.
Like with Tsubaki, I borrowed Tomoe's normal weapon and enchanted it. If I could access the repository of weapons on the Orbiter I could potentially give them even better weapons, but that will have to wait.
Brawler's Gauntlets
Sturdy gauntlets made for a rough and tumble style of fighting. Has a 50% chance of dealing double damage. Leeches SP equal to damage dealt. Increases STR by 100. Can be stored in the user's soul. Self-repairing.
A simple pair of gauntlets for Tsubasa, one that will help her keep fighting.
Necklace of Dark Magic
A necklace made of gold with an amethyst gem. Increases INT by 100. Massive increases Death and Dark magic. Completely resists curses. Can store up to 300,000 mana. Self-repairing.
Saji was difficult to come up with an idea for, and I ended up just leaning on her Sacred Gear. Vritra specializes in dark magic and curses I'm pretty sure, and while she only has one part of Vritra's sacred gear, she'll eventually get more. Hmm. I'll have to look into finding those other parts soon.
Spiked Poison Boots
Sturdy but lightweight boots with small spikes on them to increase kicking damage. Increases DEX by 100. Increases STR by 100. Attacks severely poison enemies. Can be stored in the user's soul. Self-repairing.
And last, but not least, some ass-kicking boots for Ruruko. They'll make her faster, stronger, and leave her enemies poisoned while she can maintain distance. Perfect for a speedy fighter like her, and it solves the problem she had in training with me. I'd be forced to dodge her attacks instead of blocking them. Or block them with armor or a shield or something. They'll replace her Hermes boots. The DEX increase will make her faster than the Hermes boots do, so it's a pretty nice upgrade.
Not sure what I'll do with the Hermes Boots now. Probably disenchant them, or give them to Hibiki to try out.
"Sona, I have something extra for you, but it's for emergencies, not training," I tell her while the others try out their new items. I give her a Portable Storage Crate filled with potions, exactly the same as the one I gave to Rias, and I explain the enchantments to her.
"I don't want to hear anything about you not being able to accept it," I tell her. "This is one way I'm trying to keep you girls safe."
She looks at me with concern. "First the enchanted gear, and now this...Is there something you're worried about?"
I pause but then shake my head. "Nothing specific, but…" I trail off. "It's very hush-hush right now, I can't say much about it. But I'm working on something that's going to draw a lot of attention, both good and bad. I can't predict what will happen, so I'm taking steps to make sure that whatever happens, we're as well equipped to handle it as we possibly can be. Besides, we still haven't heard about the missing Excalibur Fragments, not since the airport incident."
Sona nods. "I understand. In that case, all we can do is keep training, and thank you for your aid."
I give her a reassuring smile. "Chances are we won't need it, this is just me being paranoid." Sona nods, but she's feeling a lot more determined and serious now.
We get settled and enter the dungeon only a little later than normal. We start at the twentieth round, that way we can fight our way back to thirty using the new equipment, and get the girls used to them. They adapt quickly though. None of them have to radically change their fighting style after all. Ruruko switches to a more hit and run style, quickly getting in a kick before moving on to the next enemy, but other than that everyone just does their job better.
Except for Momo, who stays by my side and supports the others with well-placed barriers. None of the others let her get close to the action. She was a backline fighter before anyway, so it's not that big of a change for her, and she seems pretty okay with it.
We get to round thirty very quickly, thanks to the combination of their improved levels, their knowledge of these enemies that we already faced, and the enchanted gear. Confident that we can make it to round 40, we push onwards.
In round 33 though, we encounter an interesting enemy.
"Don't let these things touch you!" Tsubaki shouts as she leaps back from the bipedal fish monsters we're fighting. "They drain your magic and stamina."
I perk up at that. They do? I check the skill description for [Void Drain].
[Void Drain] - Level 62(38%)
Tap into the all-consuming properties of the Void. Coat one or both hands in the hungry Void. Currently can drain: Magic, Stamina, Health, Elements, Stats, Skill XP
Ever since Skill XP appeared there I've wanted to try it out. In fact, I did try it out on a zombie in the first dungeon. But nothing happened. I'm pretty sure the enemy I use it on needs to have a skill that I have, or one close enough to it, and I can take their XP and add it directly to the skill.
And if these guys can drain HP and SP, then maybe I can level up [Void Drain] some more.
"Sona!" I shout, getting her attention. "I want to try out one of my own abilities. I know this is training for you guys, but do you mind not killing these ones and letting me take care of them?"
She gives me a quick glance before nodding. "Understood! Girls! We're playing defense while Axton cleans up!" She starts relaying orders and I teleport into the action.
I sneak up on each one and use [Void Drain], focusing on that Skill XP. And to my delight, it works. It works better than I could have hoped. I guess as high-level enemies with this as their main attack, they have a lot of XP. It takes time for each one, almost a minute, but after I drain them of their XP I kill them and move on.
By the time we clear the round, my skill has leaped forward in terms of level and effectiveness.
[Void Drain] - Level 99(75%)
Tap into the all-consuming properties of the Void. Coat one or both hands in the hungry Void. Currently can drain: Magic, Stamina, Health, Elements, Stats, Skill XP, Memories, Skills
Sona raises an eyebrow as I teleport back the backlines. "I'm guessing from your pleased expression that whatever you did was a success?"
"Oh for sure," I say. "I discovered a new trick that'll be very useful." I make a mental note to spend my free time this weekend repeating this trick with my other skills. I'm sure I can figure out a few that it would work on, and there are a lot of skills I've been neglecting lately.
"Good," Sona says. "Now, go back to protecting Momo and let us handle the rest."
I nod. "Sure sure, thanks for agreeing to that. Next time I'll let you handle them so you can get the experience." I [Void Travel] to my spot next to Momo, and we continue our normal training, even as I look over my skills and try to think of enemies that have matching ones.
That afternoon I'm in my office going through some paperwork. Well, I say paperwork, but it's mostly messages from various Devils trying to bribe me to get their hands on the very limited Fertility potions. I've been keeping track of who tries to bribe me with what. This is something that Serafall and I expected to happen, and I worked out a deal with her. I ignore the bribes, and in return, she provides me with anything I find myself tempted by or something equivalent. And sexual favors, but honestly those were going to happen one way or the other.
I haven't called in any of that yet, people's offers have been pretty mild all things considered. Mostly absurd amounts of money and offers to let me sleep with them or their peerage members. Ravel tells me that some are just feeling me out, seeing how I react, while the others expect me, as a human, to accept whatever they offer.
As I'm recording these, I sense someone approach my office and knock on my door. "Come in," I say, and the door opens to reveal Sister Griselda. "What can I do for you?" I ask as she enters the office.
"Apologies if I'm interrupting your business," she says as she approaches my desk.
"Not at all, just going over some messages," I lie. Because that isn't the only thing I'm doing. Under my desk is Koneko, my dick halfway down her throat as she works for her cream, though she froze when Griselda knocked on my door.
"Keep going," I whisper to her using [Sound Domain]. "She doesn't know you're here, and I'll make sure she doesn't find out." Koneko nods slightly, bobbing her head, and goes back to sucking my dick.
"I won't take up too much of your time, there was just one concern I wanted to bring up with you," she continues, oblivious to what's happening under my desk.
"A concern?" I repeat. "Anything I can help with?"
"Possibly," she says. "It's nothing major but...if we're going to stay here long term, it would be nice if we had a proper place to worship. Right now we're using one of our bedrooms, and that's been fine in the short term, but it's not something we'd like to do forever."
"I see," I say, half paying attention to the conversation, half to the way Koneko's tongue feels against my shaft. "Well, I see two possible solutions. The first would be to reclaim the abandoned church here in Kuoh, fix it up, and put you in charge of it. However, I'd need to seek permission from Sona and Rias to do that, and I'm not sure if they would like it. Plus, it'd be out of the way, and you'd be responsible for the believers in the populace who would want to join."
She pauses. "That...would be acceptable, though is a bit more extreme than I was hoping for."
I nod. "In which case, you might prefer my second option. I give you an additional room, something out of the way, and you turn that into a place of prayer. Out of the way not because I want you out of sight, but because a place like that could be dangerous for my many Devil guests." Griselda nods in understanding. "I have many rooms in relatively unused parts of the house that should suffice. They're empty and bigger than a bedroom, but not massive and not too inconveniently placed."
"That would be perfect, thank you, Axton," she says.
+9 Affection with Griselda
For quickly agreeing and going beyond what she hoped
Huh, that puts her at 49. Quickly I use a Heart Crystal to get another 10 Affection with her, increasing her above 50.
Perk rewarded for 50 Affection with Griselda Quarta
[Faithful Fellow] - Increases Affection gain with those who worship God by 20%
She pauses, before nodding. "Axton, I believe I owe you an apology. Since arriving, I've treated you poorly, having judged you based on the very little information I had available to me. I simply saw a man who did business with Devils and had taken many lovers, and since then I've treated you like a dangerous predator who might jump at my two charges at any moment. For that, I'd like to offer my most sincere apologies." She bows deeply.
And I'm very glad she did so, because that's the moment that Koneko brings me to orgasm, and I'm not able to completely hide my reaction as my lower body shakes slightly and my face tightens as I pump another load of flavored semen, peach-flavored this time, into Koneko's mouth.
It only takes a few seconds for me to regain my composure though, a short enough time that it could be explained by me mulling over what she said.
"There are no apologies needed," I tell her as Koneko laps up the remains of cum from my dick and the small bit that dripped out of her mouth. "I know exactly what I look like, and by the standards of the church, I'm definitely a sinner. But I also know when it's appropriate to act on my desires, and when I should not. Even if the three of you are very attractive, you don't have to worry about me trying to seduce you three. I have plenty of interested girls. Besides, it would be a poor move, politically speaking."
She straightens up. "Your restraint is something I've come to realize. Thank you once again, Axton."
I just nod, eager for her to leave since Koneko just started blowing me again, eager for more cream. "Talk to either Sakuya or Wilhelm, they'll help coordinate whatever you need," I say. "If you start now, you might be able to have it ready by tomorrow morning."
She nods. "That would be ideal. I'll go do that then. Have a good day Axton." With that, she finally leaves.
I reach under the desk and pat Koneko's head. She purrs in contentment and leans into my hand even as she takes my dick deeper into her throat. She's become very good at blowjobs, all for the sake of her flavored cream. I have to get back to work soon, but I can enjoy this for just a moment longer.
The next morning is training with Ravel. My plan was to bring them into the Water Temple dungeon, but they're still too reliant on fire, so I bring them to the Colosseum dungeon. We only have time to get through the first twenty rounds. Even if they're easily able to handle it, the Colosseum is slow. I should have started them on round 10, but throwing them into the middle of things seemed unnecessary.
I should have known better though. I gave them their own set of enchanted gear, and it's definitely a force multiplier for their effectiveness. Their gear is more like Rias's than Sona's though, each of them having more customized armor. They all wear the same small necklace, one that was enchanted with telepathy, teamwork, safety teleport, and light damage reduction enchantments. And self-repairing of course. The others are armor pieces, weapons, and accessories suited for their role and fighting styles.
Now there are only two Devils in Kuoh below level 100. Mihae, who is new to everything and started at a really low level, and Gasper, who I never got a chance to train. I'll have to offer her training sometime. Maybe her, Valerie, and Asia can be another group I bring into the dungeons every now and then.
Still, I can't complain. Between the normal weekend training and the [Void Drain] rampage I went on yesterday evening, I've personally made a lot of progress.
Axton
Level: 398
Class: Lightbearer(98/100)[96%]

LUK: 1,990(2,090)
The last 10 levels are always the slowest to level up, and with each new class, it only takes longer and longer. I'm close enough that another dungeon trip should push me over the edge, but I have a long day of potion-making ahead of me after this.
At least I made some progress with my skills. Last night I hunted down a bunch of enemies in dungeons and maxed out some skills. In the Hardmode Zombie dungeon, I maxed out [Bone Manipulation] and [Speak with the Dead]. Neither of which are the most useful skills, but I do have an Ender Dragon corpse that I need to finish carving up. Lots of meat and bones are left there, and I can use those bones for crafting.
In the Forest dungeon, I leveled [Dryad's Aura] and [Photosynthesis]. Moderately useful, but not skills I use often. In the Hardmode version, I found enemies with [Poison Resistance] and [Hunt]. Those are definitely more useful, especially [Poison Resistance]. It was getting hard for me to finish leveling that up. I was going to have to somehow nullify my HP regen just to make a poison that could hurt me to level it up. This was much easier.
And the Hardmode Vampire dungeon had enemies with [Hemomancy] and [Hypnotize], so those are maxed out now as well. [Hemomancy] I'm especially looking forward to trying. I have all sorts of ideas for it.
But most excitingly of all, I maxed out [Void Drain], and the final upgrade to it blew me away.
[Void Drain] - Level 100(0%)
Tap into the all-consuming properties of the Void. Coat one or both hands in the hungry Void. Currently can drain: Magic, Stamina, Health, Elements, Stats, Skill XP, Memories, Skills, Soul
Soul. Not Souls, Soul. Normally that wouldn't be exciting. After all, my normal attacks generate Soul. But it's the ability I unlocked after maxing out the skill, it's definitely going to be more useful than it seems. Annoyingly, I can't use it on Dungeon enemies. It just doesn't have any effect. Which confirms my theory that they're soulless beings.
After debriefing with Ravel, and Ni and Li, which is our new tradition it seems, I head to my Alchemy lab to stock up on potions we're running low on. I definitely underestimated demand. But before I arrive, I spot something very very interesting. Mittelt, crouched in front of the door, with what looks like a set of lockpicking tools.
I teleport behind her and spend a moment silently watching her. She shows no signs of realizing I'm there. Her lockpicking...is bad. It's extremely bad. It's in fact, so bad, that I'm confident she'll never get in. She's not even using the right tools, and obviously has no concept of how the internals of a lock work.
It's obvious what's going on here. She's not this dumb. She fully expects to get caught, I'm sure of it. She knows what time I finish up training on the weekends, and I refuse to believe this is a serious attempt at spying. Though I'm surprised she narrowed it down to the right room. Then again, my automatic alchemy setup and the crystalarium aren't exactly quiet. The crystalarium especially hums constantly, and it's definitely noticeable if you come down to this area.
But she's trying to get in because she wants to be punished, and I'm torn on how to handle this. On one hand, I definitely encouraged this, and it's not like she actually has a chance to get in, there's more than just physical locks on that door. But on the other hand, this is also a bit more extreme than I thought she would go. She must be really horny.
Fine, that's how I'll play it. I'll fuck her good, and then make sure to start reversing this. Turn sex into a reward. But she'll get one last 'punishment' before I switch things up. Mind made up, I casually clear my throat, causing her to freeze.
"S-sir!" she says, turning around quickly. "I was- I uhh. I was cleaning the lock?"
"Is that so," I reply. "Those don't look like cleaning implements to me."
"They're umm, they're new!" she replies, panicking as she puts on a charade of trying to get out of this. "They use crazy technology to clean-"
"Mittelt," I say, cutting her off. "I'm not an idiot. I know what lockpicking tools look like."
She slumps, even as excitement courses through her. "I can explain-" she starts, but again I cut her off.
"I don't care," I tell her as I place a hand on her shoulder. With a push, I bring us both to my office. "You've been a bad girl lately, and a maid who breaks the rules is only good for one thing." She shivers in a way that most others would see as fear, but I can feel her arousal. "Turn around, place your hands on my desk, bend over, and don't move."
She does as I say, and once she's in position I casually lift her skirt up. Her pale legs and ass are shaking with excitement. I can see her arousal running down her thighs. I wonder how long she was sitting there, waiting to be caught, imagining what was going to happen to her.
"You really are a naughty girl," I comment as I roughly run my fingers along her dripping snatch. "This is a punishment you know?"
"I'm sorry for being such a slutty maid," she says, hands gripping the edge of the desk.
"I don't think you are," I say as I use [Touch of Pleasure], [Increase Sensitivity], and [Imbue Elasticity]. She's fairly small after all, and I don't know how well Fallen Angels stretch. She's more than lubricated enough though, so I shove two fingers roughly into her, causing her to yell out in surprise and pleasure. "No, it doesn't seem like you're sorry at all."
"I'm sorry!" she nearly yells. "I'm sorry for holding on to the package from Azazel all day, I'm sorry for trying to break into your secret room, and I'm sorry for being such a slut!"
"Hmm." I consider her words. "Tell you what, I'm in a pretty good mood, so I'll give you a chance to earn forgiveness. All you have to do is agree to one little thing."
"Anything!" she immediately replies, causing me to grin.
I remove my fingers from her and lean over her. My crotch is pressed against her backside and I lean down to whisper in her ear, my hands on either side of hers as I use the desk for support. "Promise me you'll be a good girl from here on out, that you won't break any rules, and you won't do anything I wouldn't want you to. Promise me, and I'll reward you," I purr into her ear. "But if you don't promise? I'll tie you up naked, leave you alone in a dark room for the rest of the day, and then never touch you again. So? What'll it be?"
"I'll be a good girl!" she answers without any hesitation. She's pushing her ass against the erection in my pants. "I'll be the most well behaved, the most loyal, the most-" I cut her off by storing my pants into my inventory, and then ramming my dick deep into her pussy.
She actually screams this time, spasming as she cums from the sudden insertion. She doesn't change position though, remaining standing and bent over, hands on the desk.
"That's all I needed to hear," I whisper in her ear once she calms down. "Now, here comes your reward." I pull mostly out and then slam back into her. And then I do it again, and again, and I keep going, roughly fucking her.
It's been a long time since I had sex with Raynare, and I had forgotten what Fallen pussy felt like. It tingles in a way that's hard to describe. If sin had a physical sensation, it would be this. And it feels good.
Mittelt yells, knuckles white from the strength of her grip, and she climaxes again. She's quite sensitive it seems. I speed up my movements, not bothering to hold back, and I reach my own orgasm, dumping my load deep inside of her.
That's not enough though, it's not nearly enough, and I barely even slow down as I start fucking her again, much to her surprise. Her high-pitched moans echo through the room as I watch her drill-shaped hair bounce each time I thrust deep into her.
She cums two more times as I fuck her, and the second one brings me to my own second climax. This time I pull out and shoot my load all over her back. I stop for a moment, giving her a chance to catch her breath. Her head hangs low as she breathes heavily.
I pull a moderate aphrodisiac out of my inventory and use it to lube up my dick. Some it drips off of my cock, falling onto her ass and running down the space between her ass cheeks. She shivers as the cold liquid touches her sensitive part, and she tenses when I stick a lube-covered finger into her asshole.
"S-sir?" she asks in a shaky voice.
"Gotta make sure you're nice and lubed up," I say, working my finger around.
"But, I've never-" she starts, but I ignore her. I line myself up and push my entire length into her ass.
She tenses and moans at my intrusion, but she doesn't cum. She's too unused to this sensation to instantly cum from something like that. But I can feel her pleasure, feel her arousal. This is new for her, but she's definitely enjoying it.
"I thought I told you to be a good girl?" I say, taking a moment to let her get used to the feeling of me stretching her asshole out like this. "Your ass was pretty accepting for someone who hasn't done anal before." I grin and spank her. "Or maybe that's just how slutty you are?"
She yelps when I spank her but seems too distracted to respond in words. Ah well, that's probably enough time for her to get used to my size. I start thrusting into her again, working my way up to speed I was fucking her before. She doesn't seem to like anal as much as she does vaginal though, so I spank her every now and then, and each time she clenches around me.
By the time I cum twice, each time cumming inside of her, she's only cum once. Ah well. I'm getting tired of it myself. I pull out of her and she gasps at the sensation of me no longer filling her up. But I don't let her rest this time.
"Lay face-up on my desk," I order her. She wordlessly complies, spreading her legs as she does so. Those aren't the holes I want this time though. I walk around the desk and pull her further up so her head dangles off of it. As she looks up at my cock above her, I can tell she realizes what my intentions are. She gulps, but she obediently opens her mouth wide.
I smile and slowly insert my dick into her mouth, and then keep going to enter her throat. It barely fits, and I can feel her teeth slightly scrape against my skin. But the benefits of being a gamer are that with a high CON, something like that doesn't hurt at all.
She closes her eyes as I get deep enough in her throat that my balls are in her face. Her throat writhes around me, and I take a moment to just enjoy the feeling. I don't usually get this deep when my girls blow me. Most only focus on the tip, or the upper half. A few can get most of it down their throats. But to get it all the way like this? Only the masochists enjoy it, so it doesn't happen often.
I look down at Mittelt. Her neck is straining and bulging. I run a finger along it, tracing a line from beneath her chin all the way down to her collarbone, and an urge comes over me. I quickly pull down the top of her uniform, exposing her tiny breasts, and then I move my hands to her neck, wrapping my fingers around them.
Her emotions immediately spike, almost causing me to let loose. But I recognize them. Fear and arousal, in equal parts, the former feeding into the latter. Good, this is another thing she's into. Encouraged by her response, I lightly tighten my grip. I don't want to actually choke her, just apply a little bit of additional pressure.
I start moving immediately. Fallen Angel or not, this isn't something I should needlessly prolong. But I don't go easy on her. I'm much less gentle than when I fucked her ass, and in second my balls are slapping into her face as I fuck it. She's making all sorts of noise, which only serves to stimulate me further.
I can feel the resistance of my hands every time I thrust past where I've gripped her throat, and I grip a little harder. Her tits bounce as every thrust into her rocks her on the desk. I speed up my movements, my mind focused purely on the pleasure, on the sensation.
I can tell as she starts having trouble breathing. Her legs kick lightly and her hands grab at me. But I don't let up, and in fact, I speed up and tighten my grip more. Her face is starting to turn red, and a few tears stream up her upside-down face, but I can feel her excitement growing.
My actions reach a fever pitch and I thrust roughly into her mouth before I cum, filling her throat with bursts of sticky semen. She cums as well, her back arching so much her ass lifts into the air as her arousal sprays out.
Once every drop of my cum has been shot down her throat, I loosen my grip and pull out of her. As soon as she can she takes a deep breath of air that immediately turns into a coughing fit. She hacks and gasps as she recovers from her choking.
"After you clean up, get back to work. And don't change your uniform," I tell Mittelt as I put my pants back on.
She coughs again. "Yes sir," she says with a slight rasp. I'd be concerned if it weren't for the glow of contentment she's giving off. I stop and pat her on the head.
"Remember, be a good girl from now on, and I'll keep rewarding you," I tell her. She nods and slowly starts to sit up. I [Void Travel] away, leaving her to it. Asia and Kiba are out back right now with Wilhelm, sparring. I'll go and check to see how they're doing.
Once upon a time, Aika didn't like her school life very much. She didn't have many friends, not really. She was good at getting along with people, but she rarely formed any bonds with people. She was smart enough to do well in class, but not motivated enough to excel.
She did have one friend though. Atsuko was the bright spot in her otherwise dull days. The two girls got along well and had been fast friends since their first year of middle school. They indulged in talking about perverted topics with each other, finding joy in a shared interest that most others would judge them for. Aika had to reel Atsuko in a little, teach her the meaning of subtlety and tact, but their friendship was one she was happy with.
Still, school itself was just a place where she could see Atsuko and a place to waste her time until...well, she wasn't sure what she wanted to do. Nothing seemed interesting.
And then, in the span of just a couple days, or a couple weeks depending on how you looked at it, her entire life changed. She met Axton, had sex with him, decided to build him a harem, roped her friend in, then found out Atsuko had turned into a Devil, became one herself, and found out that the world was so much bigger and so much more interesting than she ever thought.
Now she had a lot of friends. Mostly the other girls in Axton's harem, and that was something that she found really hot. She spent more than one night masturbating herself to sleep thinking about all the girls that were addicted to Axton's cock just as much as she was. And the regular weekend orgies were her favorite part of the week.
Another effect of her life-changing was how she viewed school. She looked forward to it a lot more now. To seeing Axton, to seeing Atsuko, to seeing Asia and the others. These days she was truly happy. Even moments like now, when she was just walking from class to the clubroom with Axton and Atsuko, were enough to bring her joy.
But as they walked and talked, Axton suddenly stopped. Atsuko and Aika stopped and looked back at him. He was staring at something they couldn't see, his eyes moving as if he was reading something. His expression was confused, but it was quickly being replaced by fear.
The next instant she was flying through the air, pushed by a force she hadn't seen. At the same time, she heard an explosion and had to shut her eyes as the world flashed a bright blue. She hit the ground and instantly rolled to her feet, hours of training reflexively kicking in. She got her bearings just in time to see Axton, his hands stretched behind him, and a portal of blue flame in front of them.
It only took her a second to realize that Axton had thrown her and Atsuko behind him, away from the portal. But even as she realized that, something came blurring out of the portal and slammed into Axton. Another blue rift opened behind him and the two of them fell through it, disappearing. Aika and Atsuko both scrambled towards it, but both portals winked out of existence before they could get close.
An eerie silence fell over the hall. The other students that had been around were staring, a few of them getting up from where they had been knocked over. But Aika ignored them, ignoring that a massive supernatural event had just been witnessed by so many students. Axton had been taken somewhere, and he hadn't immediately come back. Something was happening.
Her gut feeling was proven right a second later when she felt the air move. Her magical senses were decent for how long she had been a Devil, but even if she had been reincarnated yesterday she would've felt the massive barrier spring up around Kuoh. In an instant, the sky outside turned from blue to red, and she felt hundreds of sources of magic appear.
She looked out the window, and her gaze went up. The empty sky had been filled with figures, hundreds of them floating there, black wings outstretched behind them. Most only had two, but she spotted figures with 4 or 6 wings. And there, in the middle of them all, was one with a full set of 10 wings behind him. In one hand he held a blade of light, and in the other hand, he held a thin black sword.
He raised the sword made of light, and every figure in the sky conjured a similar one, poised to throw.
"Atsuko!" she shouted as she summoned her staff, uncaring of the witnesses. "The window!"
Thankfully the other girl understood her short message, and she summoned her own weapon and destroyed the window. As the Fallen Angels threw their weapons made of light, Atsuko sent out a storm of Dark Missiles, intent on intercepting them.
The Fallen traitor Kokabiel, the one Axton had told them about, was here to kill them all. And Aika had no intentions of letting him ruin the happiness she had found.

AN: Sorry not sorry for the cliffhanger! Don't worry, I'm just as excited for the next chapter as you guys are, so the wait shouldn't be too long. It'll be the finale of the arc. Unless I need to split it into two parts. Which isn't impossible, but we'll see.
I'd also like to beg forgiveness for this past arc. While I don't think it was bad, it was undoubtedly messy. When I did my planning for the rest of the fic, the pacing I wanted meant I needed to do a lot of setup in a very short amount of time, and that's what this arc has been. I put a lot of irons in the fire, and some didn't get as much attention as they should have. If the power-ups seem conveniently last-minute...well, they kind of are. These are things that I've been building up to all arc, but I didn't do a great job with all of them. Tl;dr I tried to do way too many things at once this arc and ended up fumbling a few of them. All I can do is apologize, and say thanks for bearing with it. I've learned a pretty valuable lesson here though, and I (hopefully) won't try something like this again.
The good news is that everything should be more streamlined from here on out. The following arcs have a more reasonable amount of things planned, looser timetables, and more actual plot. The pacing will pick up a little too. Well, once he gets back from Konosuba at least.
So, in case I haven't made this clear to everyone, this is the plan for world jumps. After the next chapter, he'll jump to Konosuba, and bring along one person(to be revealed in the next chapter). After spending some time there, he'll go back to DxD and continue the plot, which will not be the same as the canon plot, though it may share some vague similarities, there. Konosuba will be a vacation, something to put a pause on DxD for specific purposes. But DxD is the main focus. Then, after a few arcs in DxD, he'll jump to another world, RWBY, and again stay there for an arc or two. Finally, we'll jump back to DxD and work towards the finale of this fic.
If that sounds different from what I've said at some other point, it's because it is. The plan keeps changing. There was going to be another world jump in there, but as I looked over my plans, it felt like padding, and I wasn't enthused about it, so I scrapped it. I can't promise that this plan won't change either. It almost certainly will.
Anyways, to comment on the actual chapter, I was going to wait to reveal the reality warp, but a good opportunity revealed itself in that scene with Rias, which was going to be something completely different. This is my gift to all of you who wanted Grayfia smut, this is how it happens. This is the only freebie you get though, I'm not pulling something similar for Venelana, no matter how hot of a MILF she is.
Let's see, other stuff in this chapter. Some fun smut, got a little more hardcore than usual with Mittelt, but mostly it's just wrapping things up. Not everything, there are gonna be a few dangling threads, but I tried to keep them to a minimum. I know it's gonna be confusing when it gets back to DxD, but I'll try to make it as smooth as I can.
