Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!
Blake2020; Yup, that's who it was! Yup, it does explain quite a lot huh. Kuroka's been there all along, helping him as much as she could do without revealing herself. And thank you very much!
wweTheBeast2015; Thanks very much! Kuroka truly is a naughty cat, isn't she? She is Chelia yeah, that's who she is, and she's a very important character for the series. Ophis wants to meet Makoto, but what was their connection~? We'll find out eventually~ And yeah, he's quite lucky, isn't he?
ChaosJeff; She does yeah, Kuroka surely had to see such things. Poor Serafall, she's gonna have to see her favourite people fighting one another, it isn't going to be good for her huh.
LoamyCoffee; Thanks! Yeah, they tend to not do that, well it is going to be mixed up here~ And thanks!
Tohka123; Thank you very much! The literal cat indeed is out of the bag~ Koneko's showing more of her bold side, and we'll be seeing more in the future. They had a pretty sweet moment between them, didn't they? Hehe, she's got quite the weird thing for her sundaes~ And thank you very much!
Warzone8x8; Thanks very much! I'll try my best!
Harem Master123; Thanks very much! Yup, it is going to be quite the sight to hold~ And Koneko's gonna be getting the shine here as well! No, he'll stop it if he sees Kuroka doing something, though he will stop Rias if she tries anything as well.
Nivek Beldo; It surely was quite packed, wasn't it? Chelia's lethal sundaes, we'll see it in the future~ It wasn't surprising, but it is out in the open now, it was Kuroka all along~ And yeah, he helped Koneko with her insecurities and the likes. And yeah, it is necessary for what I have going on in the future. And it is going to be a fight between Makoto and Sona! Hehe, even Ophis doesn't like Chelia's sundaes.
Ancient Sith Tulak Hord; Thanks! Erm, probably not.
Yoga pratama; Indeed, it is going to be them all fighting one another. And thanks! Yeah, that seems good, though the ones that are mutated there, aren't in the story, unless they mutate for some reason...? But even then, I'd imagine it quite like that.
Dragonsayianblue; It surely did yeah! Some of it was, but we've got something's going on as well! And yeah, I don't see why not, we'll be getting a cameo from him rather soon~ Yeah, besides Vali since she doesn't know about him. And yeah, that sounds pretty cool to me!
Justin D; It surely was yeah~ Kuroka surely had her fun, she liked doing it~ He is yeah, there's a few reasons and we'll soon see why. Something's going to go down, but the Makoto vs Sona is going to happen. And yeah, thank you very much!
KobayashiSenpai; She surely is yeah, we'll be seeing more of that in the future~ And thank you! Yeah, Kuroka's been with him for a long time now so she knows what's what and how he cares about and what he's done for Koneko. Ooh he will do, we'll be seeing a big chunk of it here in this chapter. And yeah, he's gonna be facing Sona, poor Serafall doesn't know what to do about this. And yeah, I'm gonna try my best to make it interesting and fun. And thanks!
UsagiAngelRabbit; Thank you! We'll see eventually, it is going to be a fun ride though when we get there. And yeah, Kuroka will be appearing more, she'll be around Makoto, and indeed he does yeah, we'll see more of that in the next arc. Here's the next chapter!
Anime PJ; He is yeah, it will build quite a lot of character for Makoto, Sona, Serafall, and a few others as well. Oh he will do, so he best try and keep Kuroka hidden, or no one ever finds out what is going on there. And thanks~
ChaosJeff; Yeah, we surely are~
ShadowUzumaki55; They have quite the weird dynamic between them, and we'll see more of it in the future. And yeah, doing all of it at once would kill him. Everyone's gonna be fighting, Makoto, Sona and Rias, and their groups, and what not. And she was yeah, by Vali's order, the same as Elmen, as Vali thought Makoto would bring out their potentials. We'll be seeing an even bolder Koneko rather soon. And she is pretty much set in stone to do that. And yeah, it's gonna be fun with some cool fun added in there~
Cf96; Thanks!
Skull Flame; Hehe, Akeno wouldn't do that~ He surely is yeah, he got so traumatized that he can't fight anymore. He surely is, and probably a long time~ She is yeah, and she likes a few different things, she likes to twerk sometimes~ And yeah, she doesn't like Rias, for quite a few reasons. Thank you! Yeah, Makoto's highly intelligent, while he might not be Sona's level yet, he's still intelligent for his age, more so than quite a few people in the story, and we'll see that during his fights. Indeed, Ophis is brutally honest sometimes. And thank you!
Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, it is time to start the chapter!
The Training!
"We have to defeat Sona-sama."
Ravel said it seriously, as she, Makoto with Millicas on his lap, Irina, Kalawarner, Elmen, Asia, and Koneko all sat in a large bath. Since it had been an hour since the meeting of the young Devils, Makoto and the others went to the large Japanese-style hot springs for the Sitri garden.
All of the girls were clad in towels, but they didn't even bother covering their chests. They were that comfortable with Makoto seeing them naked, they didn't bother hiding. Makoto had a towel around his waist, covering his manhood, which he was glad for, since he didn't want Millicas to be penetrated, since there wasn't much between them right now, and she more than didn't mind at all.
Millicas looked towards Ravel, as she hugged around Makoto's neck tightly.
"Hey, Ravel, did you think that we'd be facing Sona-nee-san first?"
Ravel shrugged her shoulders.
"It was always a possibility. But I didn't expect it right on the front. Honestly, I just was hoping that we wouldn't fight Sairaorg-sama. He would have been the hardest in terms of pure power, and we right now have no one that could fight him evenly. Of course, we'll just have to prove our strengths other ways. Sona-sama is going to be a dangerous opponent, and we have to fight this enemy with a clear heart. Even if it is Sona-sama, we still don't have a chance to be lax, and we'll be fighting strongly."
The others leaned their heads back, with Irina taking first move with a question.
"Yeah, we have to win for Ma-chan's sake. Even though the other Devils are looking down on us, we'll prove that we're the best peerage around. Since it is Ma-chan, we'll also have to follow after him."
"Uuu, I'm worried that we're going to be facing a hard opponent, but I am Makoto-sans Bishop, and will do my best. Even though I might be only able to heal, I'll make sure no one retires with my powers to heal."
Makoto smiled towards Asia's kind face.
"Thank you Asia-chan, and everyone right now. Even though you don't hold any obligations, you've come to me and stood beside me, going into this for the sake of my King and also pride, and also, to show that we Reincarnated Devils, aren't weaklings, and have just as much of a deserving chance as the natural Devils do."
Each of the girls smiled, and knew that because of his kindness, they truly would follow him no matter what.
"Personally Master, I am doing this because I'm your slave, and even that means sex slave as well. Lets do anal soon."
"Pft!" Elmen did a spit take, Makoto doing the same as the others. "W-Why even ask that!? Don't say that normally! It is freaking wrong! W-Why would you even say something like that?! It is a bad thing! Keep your mouth closed!"
Kalawarner showed her tongue.
"Well, that's my fault isn't it? Just because I want to have anal with my Master, is it so bad that I want that?"
"W-When speaking about it openly, yes! That's wrong!"
Kalawarner allowed a titter to escape her mouth, and held a hand to her mouth, laughing to herself.
Elmen didn't like that, and looked angry towards her.
"...Either way, because it is Mako-kun, I am going to also be on his team."
"B-But, aren't you Rias-sans peerage member?"
Irina brought up a good point.
Koneko gave the young girl a curious look, then allowed her body to sink down into the water.
"...It's fine, I'll be beside Mako-kun...even if I'm not strong..."
"Koneko-chan?" Makoto called, seeing that Koneko looked slightly depressed. "Is something wrong Koneko-chan? You seem sad all of a sudden? Has something happened? You don't have to worry, you don't have to hide from me or anything."
Koneko contemplated something, but then shook her head.
"...I'm okay, don't worry about me."
Makoto looked on, and he was worried for her.
But before he could ask her, Ravel brought something up.
"But, we've still got to think about battle strategies. Even then, we also have to think about training and being prepared for anything. We have to crush our enemies, even Sona-sama. She might be your King's Imouto Makoto-sama, I hope you're prepared to win."
Makoto's eyes went towards Ravel, who looked questioningly.
Makoto then released a breath.
"I understand Ravel-san, I know what I have to do now. Even though it is Sona-senpai, it doesn't matter because I have to face her seriously. Even if she is a friend, to me right now, she's the enemy standing before me."
Ravel inclined her head.
"Good, that's the response I wanted to hear."
"Yeah, I know...Sona-senpai is going to be difficult. Sera-tan's freaking out right now. It took me this long just to calm her down. She kept saying that she couldn't watch, and that it would be unfair to vote for one than the other. Even then...well, I've accepted that I am facing Sona-senpai, and even though she's got her noble dream, I'm not going to hold back either."
Ravel nodded at his determined face.
"I'm glad you're saying that Makoto-sama. To hold back, would be insulting towards Sona-sama. She wont be holding back, so we can't hold back either. And now, we've got to make some plans...well, I suppose that we can only make small plans now, since we don't know where our match is going to be until the day."
"That's so we can show initiative, right Ravel-chan?"
Irina asked with a kind smile, the young woman inclining her head.
"Yes, that's exactly it. They'll be judging us on that day for our initiative, among other things. Though, because of the nature of our involvements, we'll be looked upon even harsher. However, that doesn't matter, because we'll be showing how strong our dreams are as well."
Makoto was impressed with Ravel's words.
"You're so awesome Ravel-san, speaking so strongly. Even though this was put together on short notice, you're showing a cool side. I'll have to rely on your experiences in the game once more, since you've had more experience."
Ravel's face lifted upwards, leaning forward proudly.
"Naturally, I'll do my best Makoto-sama! I'll show my best sides, and wont lose either! I'll use all of my knowledge to fight! B-By the way, I've been thinking about Vali-sama, and having her on the team as well, I'm sure that she'd do it if you asked Makoto-sama..."
"Yeah, I thought of that too..."
Sensing the tone, Millicas cocked her head.
"Did she say no or something?"
Makoto looked towards Millicas, petting her head.
"Yes, that's right, she told me that this is my team, my personalized team, and that means, my team isn't her team. She wants her own team and to face my own team one day, and I can understand that, I even want to face Onii-chan during all of these games, it is going to be the best ever. And I thought that having a Longinus possessor would be good, but even then, we'll just show our outstanding abilities."
Makoto gave a gentle smile as he said it, and the others nodded.
"Exactly, we don't need any Longinus'~ We've got cool powers on our own~ Doesn't matter if they have Longinus' or not, we've got cool powers too. And our powers wont lose to any of these young Devils, no matter what!"
Elmen raised her fist, and said it while smiling to herself.
The others smiled on, knowing that this would be for the best.
"But, did you notice the tension between Sona-sama and Seekvaira-sama as well, it was thick huh." Kalawarner gave her opinion. "Well, it was funny when they talked and such together, I found it funny anyway."
"It's because they don't get along. It isn't their fault per-say, but it is rather funny to say the least~"
Millicas let out a large smile, and Makoto felt a smile grace his face.
"But, why are they not able to get along?"
"It's because they are quite alike, in the way that they both are intelligent and wish to get ahead. I'd say that Seekvaira-san is more dangerous than anything else, she's the one that we'd have to watch out for. But neither are bad, but when they get together, dangerous things could happen, so be careful around them Makoto-san, she could do something that is potentially dangerous."
"I-I see, so that's how it is."
Millicas nodded her head, and they all set back, to relax in the bath together, because they knew soon that they would be going through a rather difficult time. Even then, it didn't matter to Makoto in the end, they all were going to be showing their best powers, no matter what.
After the bath he had, Makoto got out before the others, and went into his bedroom, and when he got there, he was shocked to see that Yumi was at on his bed. Her legs were slightly parted, and her lips also parted as well.
Her eyes fell upon his body and she looked on with slight lust.
"Y-Yumi-senpai, you're here..."
"Fufu, that's right Makoto-kun, I've come. Because, soon, we wont see one another for a month, and there's something that I want to show you before I have to go back to the Gremory castle."
Makoto tilted his head in wonder.
"What's going on exactly?"
Yumi allowed a small blush on her cheeks, and moved off the bed. The loose fitting robe slid off the woman's body and showed her naked form. He gulped, but moved closer to the young woman. Her eyes fell towards his own eyes, as their fingers interlocked with one another.
"Makoto-kun, for a month, or so, we wont be able to make children, it upsets me. We wont be able to start our family sooner."
"It pains me too Yumi-senpai, but I love you Yumi-senpai, and when I come back...w-we could have a special night between us."
Yumi's lips pursed upwards, sitting down onto the bed. He sat down next to her, their fingers still interlocked.
"Fufufu, of course we could. You know, I talked with Buchou and asked if I could join your team for this endeavour."
"A-And, what did she say?"
Yumi's lips turned downwards sadly.
"She said that until I find a replacement, I wouldn't be able to meet you during those endeavors. But I'm going to try my best Makoto-kun, then I'll become your Knight...t-that is, if you want me to be your Knight...d-do you want me to be your Knight?"
Makoto smiled softly, placing a hand on the young woman's cheek. Yumi sank into the man's hand, and adopted a cool smile.
"Having my girlfriend as my Knight? Of course I want that Yumi-senpai! I'd want to always have you, anytime anywhere Senpai. I just want to be with you as well, even if it means we find this new Knight together...w-while we're at it, lets find a Rook for her as well, since Koneko-chan wants to come with me as well."
"Fueee, yes, I'm sure that we should do something like that. Finding a Rook and Knight for Buchou, then I'll be able to come with you Makoto-kun. I've been wanting to become your Knight for a long time Makoto-kun. Ever since you helped me with my problems with Holy Swords. Ever since then, I've thought about it, and us being together as our family."
"Yumi-senpai, we are a family. Even if you aren't my Knight, you're still my girlfriend and I love you very much. And I'm going to become stronger, so we can all have children together, and can live comfortably."
Makoto's smile radiated from him and Yumi felt her heart beat go a little faster.
"Makoto-kun, I'm going to be training hard. Azazel-sensei's already told me that I should aim to keep in Balance Breaker for a long while."
"Yes, that sounds good Yumi-senpai. I'm going to become as strong as I can as well. Even if the world is rather tough, it doesn't matter at all, I'm going to become the strongest guy that I can be and prove to the Devils that it would be for their best interests that I participate in the games as one of the strongest youths. I know people are going to look down on me and I simply don't care."
Yumi, listening to his resolve, leaned closed, and rubbed his face with her own, nuzzling the young boy.
"You'll do amazing Makoto-kun, I know that you can prove to everyone that you'll do your best. Even against Sona-sama, I'm confident you'll be able to do something fantastic. I've watched you grow from a shy and insecure boy to the man I see before me. When we first met, I don't think you'd be able to do this. But now, I'm sure you'd be able to do this."
Feeling the courage that Yumi was giving him, he felt amazing by the second, and knew that because of her courage, and her strength, he'd be able to get through this.
"Yumi-senpai, how do you know what to say when I'm feeling unsure?"
"Because, Makoto-kun has given me plenty of support, and I'm your girlfriend, and I'm always going to be beside you, no matter what. I'll be supporting you, Makoto-kun and fighting by your side one day, no matter what."
Makoto's eyes fell upon the young woman and then gently brushed her lips. She paused, looking at his face, and saw nothing but love in his eyes. He then gave her a kiss once more, and began making out with the young woman.
Yumi's fingers continued to intertwine with the young man's fingers, then her fingers went downwards. Her hands left his own and laid on his lap, moving forward. Her beautiful naked body made Makoto's own feel so hot due to the power of the young woman and what kind of levels she could take him.
Yumi leaned closer, and gently brushed the young boys lips with her own. Makoto felt her hands fully rest on his lap, and moved upwards. He was surprised yet excited at her sudden forwardness, but he loved her all the same and wanted to have her as well.
"Ooh Yumi-senpai, do you want to be intimate right now?"
Yumi giggled slightly, crushing her lips on his own.
"How did you figure it out Makoto-kun? It's your fault, for making me feel like this. And since we wont be able to experience one another for a month, I'll be lonely without you Makoto-kun. I wont even be able to kiss you, I'll become upset."
Makoto adopted a large smile, guiding Yumi to the bed, and laid next to her in his arms.
"Well, that's not good, I don't want to upset Yumi-senpai."
"Well, this is going to be upsetting, but if Makoto-kun embraces me right here and now, then I'll be able to get through it if you embrace me Makoto-kun, so please embrace me in your arms and make me yours once more, I will be able to take it if you are the one who embraces me."
Makoto, upon hearing that, couldn't deny her now, and just held the young woman in his arms, and wouldn't let go. The young boy then began slowly removing his pants, Yumi's eyes gluing themselves to the young boys private area, and smiled, continuing to have the young boy embrace her for a while, so they could come together happily.
That night, Makoto laid in a bed with Serafall right next to him, Yumi having had to go back to the castle of Gremory and the others apparently, were told to not come into the room for the night, but Makoto didn't know why that was.
For some reason, she looked lost, or distant. Either way, Makoto could tell that she was feeling and thinking different things, and that even if he had knowledge on it, she would be unsure of how to continue.
He could see how hard it would be for her to think about her Queen and her sister fighting one another.
Serafall was a type of girl would want to keep everyone happy, and safe, and now, after she convinced everyone to allow Makoto to do this, now had to watch as her sister, and her Queen fought one another in a hard battle.
"...Sera-tan, are you worried about the matches between myself, and Sona-senpai?"
Serafall leaned up on the bed, adopting a sad looking face.
"It isn't fair Ma-tan, I don't like that you have to be doing this. I mean, you're not a bad person Ma-tan and now, you have to face Sona-chan. I can't decide who I'm supposed to be supporting. I love both my Queen and my Imouto, but now having to choose..."
Makoto could understand why she would feel so sad about this.
He'd feel the same if it was between Ise and Vali, he just wouldn't know who to be with, and who to route for since he loved them both in different ways.
"Sera-tan, I don't mind if you route for Sona-senpai."
Makoto's gentle words, caused Serafall to look at him incredulously.
"How could I do that my cute Ma-tan? It would be wrong, I can't do that."
"I know it seems weird, but she's your Imouto-"
"And Ma-tan's my lover."
Serafall said it straight away, making Makoto chuckle awkwardly.
"Y-Yes, but she's your Imouto, and I know how dangerous it could be, so don't worry so much about it. I know you are sad right now, but you don't have to worry about it at all, I'll make sure that I do my best, and you can support your Imouto-"
"I'm gonna be supporting both Ma-tan and Sona-chan." Serafall said it quickly, worming her hand towards Makoto's crotch. "Because, it is my adorable Ma-tan and my Sona-chan, these Old Devils are cruel and evil for making me do this. But because it is you my Ma-tan and my Sona-chan, I have to support both...which means I also can't favour Ma-tan or Sona-chan over the other...so it regrets me to say that I can't offer support right now in someway's..."
Makoto placed a hand over Serafall's own hand, and offered a cool, and gentle smile.
"Yes, I know, don't worry so much about me Sera-tan. I've got some ideas, and I'll be fighting strongly. I'll show a good match and I'll also show that Sona-senpai's dreams are amazing. Either way, if she wins or if I win, it shows the progressiveness of her dreams. If I, a Low Class Devil, wins against Sona-senpai, a High Class Devil, it would show how amazing it would be for us, and shows how the times are changing and how we Reincarnated Devils can be viewed as strong as well."
Serafall allowed her hand to rest on his crotch, and gently stroked him down there. He allowed a gasp to come out of his mouth, but she didn't stop, a teasing look on her face, and a smirk on her face at the same time.
"Yes, that's right, Ma-tan. I'm going to be having so much fun with you, and when this is over, Sona-chan is gonna love Ma-tan and we'll have a love like no other. Especially when I get my claws into the pair of you~ We'll all be having fun adorable cute sexy times~ Yes, it is going to be amazing to say the least~"
Makoto wasn't so sure about that.
But he knew that Serafall meant well.
"Ma-tan, when you fight Sona-chan, don't hold back because of me, okay?"
"Sera-tan..."
For her to just come out with it, Makoto was surprised.
But Serafall held a resolved look like no other.
"Ma-tan, I want you to not hold back because of me. Even if she's my Imouto, it doesn't matter, because you're my Queen and I'm asking you to do this my adorable Queen. Please, don't ever hold back because of me."
Makoto looked on towards her, and saw that she truly looked as if she was going to explode.
But he could understand the reasons.
So, the young boy embraced his King and held her tightly in his arms.
"It's alright, don't worry, Sera-tan. I'll not disappoint you. I'll not hold back, it wouldn't be fair on Sona-senpai either. If I didn't give my all, she'd be disappointed as well, so I have to show that I wouldn't hold back either."
Serafall smiled widely, and understood her Queen as well.
So she leaned forward, and gently stroked the man's manhood underneath his underwear. Serafall slowly felt the young man growing down there.
"Because, it is Ma-tan, and how lovely and adorable he is, I have to do this Ma-tan and show how adorable you are. Because you're my Queen, I wanna play with you, and enjoy your body for myself my cutest Queen~"
"Se-Sera-tan, y-you want to have sex?"
Serafall couldn't hide her grin anymore, pushing the young boy down onto the bed, straddling his hips. The young man looked up towards her, as she unclipped her bra, and released her breasts. They bounced, and Makoto saw how ready for it she was, seeing the perkiness of the nipple that the woman's breasts possessed.
Serafall's eyes went down towards Makoto's body as her lower body ground against his hips. He felt the feeling of her lower parts on his own lower part, making him groan. But Serafall couldn't hide her happiness right now, and enjoyed the sight of him and his red face.
"Don't be adorable my cute Ma-tan, I'm going to play with my Ma-tan and have fun with him, no matter what~ Now lay back Ma-tan." Serafall grabbed Makoto's belt, and unhooked it quickly, licking her lips feverishly. "And relax my cutest Queen. Allow your King to make you feel good~"
Makoto didn't argue, and laid back, allowing the young woman to do what she wanted to do.
The next day, they all gathered in a corner of the Sitri family's huge garden.
Everyone was dressed in jerseys, and looked upon Azazel was also wearing one, even Gabriel would be one as well. After, everyone had sat down at the table and in the seats that had been placed in the garden, the meeting before the start of their training began right away.
Serafall couldn't show up right now, she was busy, and Makoto was sure that the young woman made sure she was busy so she couldn't help either of them, which Makoto was sure was to make it fair. She didn't want to give Makoto or Sona an advantage over the other.
Azazel had what seemed to be documents and data.
"Let me say this first. For the first time in...well, I can't think of another time this happened, you'll all be fighting enemies that have, a unique outlook on you. These circumstances have been different to the past, and now a Low Class Devil is going to be leading a group into a big battle."
"I'm surprised they went for it honestly."
Makoto gave his honest thoughts, with Azazel agreeing.
"As am I, it seems like the convergence of the Underworld, the Heaven's, and even the Fallen Angels allowed us all to overcome this kind of worrying power. And now, they allowed all of you, to achieve a new state all together." Azazel then continued. "What I'm going to tell you now is a training menu that focuses on things in the immediate future. There are people who produce good results immediately, but there are also those who have no choice but to look at things in the long run. However, you are all growing young people. Even if you mistake your direction, you will grow well. Now then, first is Millicas Gremory aka, Loli-sama."
"Yes, I-I'm listening...wait, who calls me Loli-sama?"
"Well, I do." Millicas looked on as Azazel inclined his head. "From the beginning, you have been a high-spec Devil with everything, including talent, physical ability and magic power, no, it is even magnificent with the parents that you have, it is amazing and scary the potential you have. Even if you live normally as you currently are, those traits will rise and you'll become a candidate for being a highest-grade Devil when you become an adult. However, your wish is to become stronger than you would in that future, right?"
"Of course, I don't ever want to let my friends and loved ones down."
Millicas said it with a brave heart, and also a strong soul as well.
"Then, follow the training recorded on this sheet exactly, even all the way up to the battle day."
After looking at the piece of paper that Sensei handed to her, Millicas tilted her head in puzzlement.
"…But, this training doesn't seem all that special, though?"
"That's right. It's a basic training method, and I've heard that Sirzechs is also going to be training with you. Since he's your Otou-sama, I'll leave your training to him. I'm sure that with him, he'll be training you on unique ways to use the Power of Destruction, and use it in cool, and different ways. He's an expert after all, and you've inherited his talent as well, so you can do this type of training which will round you out rather well if you wish to become the Queen of Makoto in the future as well."
Makoto understood what was going on and why Azazel said it. He also understood that Millicas was the strongest one there, and that they were going to have a hard time as well. But with Millicas, they had a powerhouse, no doubt. Makoto wasn't even afraid to admit that Millicas was stronger than he was, at least when it came to raw power.
Azazel's eyes went towards Ravel next.
"Next, is Ravel, of the Phenex clan aka, big bird."
"Yes, I am listening intently. And who calls me big bird?"
Ravel wondered, and the young man began chuckling.
"Well, that doesn't matter right now."
"W-What...wait, what's going on? Could you just get on with my training please?"
Ravel gave her thoughts, and waited for him to continue. Even then, he felt like something was going to be said, Makoto thought that at least, and wondered if Azazel was going to say anything bad to Ravel herself.
"Yes, Ravel's aspects are more retained to support. However, make use of your Immortality, it is also a good thing to have Ravel be used in such situations where she is a very hard enemy to retire. And also, Ravel, expanding your knowledge of other members, as you'll be the main expertise of the peerage and your intelligence will be crucial in this fight. And also think about training to increase your demonic energy, since that's how your Phenex ability of Regeneration works, so it doesn't deplete so fast."
Ravel nodded her head, and thought about it, and it did make sense to her.
Azazel's eyes then landed on Irina.
"Next is Irina."
"Yes. I'm listening~"
Makoto had to admit that the fact that she had such a loving sound to her voice, made him feel all the more better.
"First, with that weapon of yours, it can be used more than just to make light spears. By using your imagination of the Devil, and the light of Angels, you can made a unique power be born. That's why, Gabriel here is also going to be helping train yourself and your body with the light of the Devils, and giving you tricks and tips on powers later on."
Gabriel, upon hearing her name, clapped her hands together.
"Aah, because it is Makoto-kun's team, we'll be going strong together. And if it is Irina-san, then I'll train her in different usage of light techniques. Fufu, it is going to be fun due to you being the girl that can wield, light as well as demonic powers."
Irina looked towards Gabriel, and then largely smiled.
"Ooh! To be trained by Gabriel-sama, it is going to be amazing! Yes, I shall do this! And I'll do the best, and become the best Knight for Ma-chan! No matter what else happens! Ma-chan is going to have the best Knight in myself!"
Irina seemed really pumped, and the young woman also couldn't hold back her happiness either. Gabriel's eyes shone happily, and beautifully as well.
"The next person is Kalawarner Roofie."
Millicas couldn't help but laugh at that name.
Kalawarner's eyes began turning downwards into sadness.
"Kalawarner Roofie, are you listening to me?"
Once more, Kalawarner felt tears prickling her eyes, she didn't like it at all.
She looked down at the ground so she didn't have to listen to her anymore.
"Don't ignore me Roofie, I want to hear some noise from your mouth. I want to hear sound coming out of your mouth please."
Kalawarner's eyes sharpened on the elder man.
"Could you not call me by that name please? I'm sick to death of it, and you..."
"No, it's a lovely name, and you should be proud, as you come from a long line of Roofie's." Kalawarner sweatdropped and felt like crying at the same time. "Anyway, Kalawarner Roofie." Kalawarner felt like hitting him at this point. "You've got a cute Sacred Gear, that we need to Master for new ways. For the moment, you've been doing well with it, but reaching Balance Breaker would be the best type for this situation. If you could reach Balance Breaker, the tide of a battle could be turned rather well honestly. And I'll also be teaching you new ways of using your weapons to be able to fight skilled swordsman."
"Azazel-sama, you're going to be helping me huh...and please don't call me Roofie."
"Yes, that's right, and no, I have to call you Kalawarner Roofie. Since you're apart of Makoto's makeshift peerage here, and also a Fallen Angel, you're going to representing all of us. All of us Fallen Angels, are watching you Kalawarner Roofie, and we'll be hoping you push us forward to the new age."
Kalawarner would have taken him more seriously, if he didn't call her Roofie as a name as well. But the rest of it, she understood that she had the pride of the Fallen Angels on her side, and that's what she needed as well.
Azazel's eyes then went towards Elmenhilde, who flinched under the gaze.
"Next, it is you, Vampire known as Elmenhilde."
"...Why are you saying my name as if you're going to kill me?"
At that, Azazel raised his head.
"Right...no, I'm not going to do anything. I just don't know how to put this...well, it is an easy way to say it. Elmen, you've got a hard pass to come too. You'll need to continue increasing your stamina and strength. Your ability to consume blood, and use special abilities is going to be useful during the games, especially if it is the enemies blood. If you managed to drink Sona's blood, you could control water, and take command away from her somewhat. There's also using Makoto's blood and increasing your strength. There's different ways to do this, and it is going to be, amazing to see what you could be in the future."
Elmen slowly nodded, and looked intent on what she needed to do.
"Even with Makoto-kun and the others becoming stronger, I'll show my own way of getting strong as well."
"Good, good. Since you're a weird Vampire, I'm sure you'll do a very good job."
"Don't call me a weird Vampire."
Azazel ignored her, and looked towards Asia. Asia flinched at the sight, and turned her head away.
"Asia, the Bishop of Makoto."
"Y-Yes! Please take care of me!"
Asia looked to be in spirit right now. It was due to Asia secretly confessing to Makoto that she felt useless during battle. Though Makoto knew that wasn't the case, she was very useful, especially due to her healing people.
"You will also improve your body and magic with basic training. Also, your main task will be to strengthen your Sacred Gear."
"Strengthen, she's already strong with it though. Is it because that she has to be in direct contact with people to heal them? Is that what you're talking about right now Azazel-san?"
Azazel's eyes cast over to Makoto, nodding his head.
"The speed of her recovery ability is great. However, the problem is the "touching" part as you said. She can't heal if she doesn't expressly go into close range if an ally is injured."
"So, she should work on expanding her range then?"
Millicas quickly asked, seeing where she was going with all of this.
Azazel affirmed it.
"That's correct, Millicas. This is like an underhanded trick, but to show the true worth of Twilight Healing, its effective range must be expanded. According to the theory based on the data gathered by our organisation. It should also be possible for the Sacred Gear aura to be issued from the whole body and to use the recovery on all allies within one's surroundings."
"Wow, if she could do that, then it would be even more useful. She could heal us without even getting close to us."
Ravel expressed with a small smile on her face. But Azazel's eyes showed that he wasn't exactly thrilled about it.
"But, the problem is that it would seem to heal both enemies and allies without discernment. It would be fine if it could distinguish between enemies and allies and heal only allies, but…I'm worried about Asia's own nature."
"Aah, I think I understand now." Makoto began, seeing the look on Azazel's face. "Because of Asia-chan's kindness, she'd heal others and it wouldn't be good. Because of her gentle nature, her heart would be in a place where she'd want to heal everyone. She needs to be able to distinguish between people, am I wrong?"
Azazel's eyes narrowed at Makoto, who just stared right back without a care in the world.
"Fine, yes, you're right, right now. If used poorly, then it would heal the enemies, it would be a double edged sword, and that's not good. Either way, we've found ways around this before, and we'll do it again in the future as well." Azazel looked towards Asia. "That's why I've found another possibility. The power to fire the healing aura."
"S-So you mean I would send my healing power to someone that is some distance away from me?"
Asia made the gesture of throwing something. Makoto thought that she was extremely cute by doing something like that.
"Yes, it seems that you can directly throw it. When Makoto is battling 10 meters away and is injured, you would fire your healing power at Makoto. If what you have used until now is a standard limited field, the one I'm explaining now is a projectile version. You could heal even if you aren't directly touching."
"Wow, that's an amazing way to think about it Azazel-san. It would be able to keep Asia-chan more in the background and less likely to be attacked. That's fantastic, I'm happy that you said something like that."
Asia allowed her smile to radiate from her face, and she held onto the young boy, smiling happily to herself.
"Its power would be a little less than with direct touch, but being able to heal allies from far away is still a strategic characteristic with many uses. With one or two people jumping into the front lines and arranging for the healing Asia and someone to guard her in the back, you'd be able to make the ideal formation."
Makoto agreed with his methods instantly.
"It's a method that we can do because we have Asia-chan, who doesn't rely on just items. She is a healing item of sorts, and she can be used more than the Phoenix's Tears and such. And we can also arrange ourselves to protect the young woman."
"That's right. The power of Asia's Sacred Gear, which can also heal Devils, could be called this team's distinctive characteristic and weapon. After that is merely a test of Asia's strength. Please finish the basic training properly, okay?"
"Y-Yes! I'll do my best!'
Makoto looked on as Asia cheered, still holding onto the young boy. He was glad for her, that she could do as she pleased. She was also able to become as strong as she could, and Makoto was going to support her no matter what.
"Next is Koneko."
"…Yes."
Koneko looked to be in fighting form. She also however, seemed distracted about something. Whatever it is, Makoto knew that there was something going on with the young girl and that there was something that he would have to do it.
"You have nothing to be criticized about, as you possess the elementary traits of offence and defence as a Rook. Your physical ability is also not a problem. Now, with the release of your Senjutsu, you'll have to be able to control that better, and become someone who also fights strongly. Since you're this peerages only Rook, you can't show a bad face."
"...I understand."
Koneko answered with a sigh.
Makoto cocked his head to the side curiously.
"K-Koneko-chan, is something wrong?"
At his question, Koneko lowered her head, and then gently shook it.
"...No, of course not, I'm okay Mako-kun, I'm fine."
Koneko's words didn't say what they really should be. Makoto knew that there was something going on.
Azazel worriedly looked at his watch, then turned towards Makoto.
"Now then, the last is Makoto. For you…Please wait a moment. Should be here soon…"
"Be here...what should be here? Vali-chan said that she'd be training me...is she coming from the sky…?"
Azazel looked towards the sky, and waited.
Makoto and the others also looked to the sky.
He couldn't see anything, nor could the other either.
As Makoto was feeling doubtful, a huge shadow appeared in the sky within his vision. It was heading towards them at extreme speed. Makoto could see the colour blue, it radiated outwards from the morning sun behind it.
Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon!
The earth shook as it landed right in front of them. Even sitting down in a chair the ground shook greatly, and everyone almost fell down to the ground, even Asia almost, but Makoto caught her, and watched on.
Makoto's eyes looked towards the creature, and saw who it was.
"N-No way, Tiamat-san is here?" His eyes went towards the side, and saw that it Vali, who was in her Balance Breaker. "Vali-chan y-you also came here as well?"
"That's right, Makoto. This is Tiamat, and she's right here for you. And the same for Vali. They've come for you, a two for one sale, isn't it?"
"Azazel, you have some nerve openly entering Devil territory, especially with myself right here, I am not pleased with you."
Tiamat's harshness fell upon the older man around the area.
"Hah, I've properly gotten the personal permission of the Maou-sama and have entered this territory fairly, you know? Do you have a complaint, Tiamat?"
"I just don't like you that much, so I don't have a complaint or anything."
Azazel placed a hand over his face.
"Y-You're all mean! I'm not even a bad person! Screw you!"
Tiamat's eyes sharpened upon the Fallen Angel.
Tiamat spat out some flames towards him, making him jump away with a cry.
"W-What the hell Tiamat!? W-Why are you doing this to me?! I can't handle this shit anymore! Ugh, I'm glad that you're Makoto's Sensei's, and not mine! Y-You and Vali are going to destroy the young boy! So, don't touch me anymore! I wont become happy with you!"
Makoto looked towards the pair. He saw the hungry look on Vali's face, and he saw Tiamat's eyes sharpened on him like she was going to bury him or something. He was getting conflicting feelings right now.
"W-Wait...t-the pair of them...it can't be. Vali-chan and Tiamat-san as well…? N-No, I couldn't do anything like that..."
"Don't worry Makoto, it'll be fine. I'll have fun with you later on."
Vali said with a wild smirk on her face.
Makoto saw that Vali's eyes were on his hips. He looked towards the side, and saw Tiamat's eyes narrowing. Somehow, it looked as if he was being scolded. But he didn't know why she was looking at him like that.
Tiamat raised her head once more, and then snarled, making Makoto feel confused.
"W-What's wrong Tiamat-san?"
"You haven't even contacted me since the other day."
Somehow, Makoto felt like he was being under the watchful eye of a dangerous woman.
"O-Oh, I didn't realize you wanted to talk...i-is there something you'd like to talk about?"
Tiamat huffed. Somehow, Makoto felt like he had pissed her off somehow, even then he wasn't sure how he did something like that. It didn't matter though, he wasn't going to hold back either no matter what.
"I'm sure we'll have plenty of times to speak about it."
"Talk about what exactly?"
Tiamat didn't answer, so Vali walked closer. Slowly, she lifted Makoto up, and made him stand up.
"Makoto, I'll be training you as well."
"Y-Yes, I guess we'll be training partners. I can't wait Vali-chan!"
"Yes, and I can't wait either. But I'm not going to be going easy on you either." Makoto watched as Vali's hand placed itself on his butt, pulling him closer. "And that also means I can't be easy on this either." Makoto worried for his butt at this point. "But don't worry, I need this part of your body, so don't worry about it."
Makoto chuckled awkwardly, not sure how he was supposed to respond.
Beside Makoto, Azazel was nodding in agreement.
"The period is about 20 days in human world time. I'd like for him to reach Balance Breaker by then. Makoto, work as hard as you can without dying. I know these two are insane people, but you're dating one of them, be rejoiceful with her, and maybe have children, who knows."
PUNCH!
"Screw you Azazel."
Azazel fell down to the ground, holding his nuts while crying "I hate you." in a squeaky voice. He then fainted on the spot due to the fact that he was knocked down by Vali, she was truly someone that didn't want to be crossed either.
Even then, the others began standing up. Makoto looked on and didn't know what to say, he was too worried for anything else.
"Now then, each of us will now do our respective training menus. I hope you all do well."
Ravel began moving away and everyone responded with a "Yes!" and started moving away. Soon, they disappeared away from the area, leaving Makoto alone with Vali, and Tiamat. Vali grabbed the boy, and brought him over her shoulder.
"Come on Makoto, time to go."
While over her shoulder, Makoto felt Vali pat him on the butt, making him gasp. Even then, she just looked on with a small smile on his face. Vali extended her wings of light, and took to the sky, Tiamat followed after them.
A hell…
That's all Makoto could describe this as right now.
Normal people on summer vacation, did many normal things...not Makoto.
No, instead of hanging out with friends and family…
He was too busy hanging out with a Dragon and a Devil girl which wanted to fight him hard.
Two hellish teachers, chancing after him, one spitting fire at him, and the other was coming after him dangerously with blasts of demonic power. All he could do was avoid, he couldn't counteract any of them, they simply were too powerful.
The rocky terrain didn't help him.
He never thought that he'd miss being in school or doing contracts.
But he did.
Simpler days were behind him, and now he had a Dragon and a Devil girl that was close enough to a Dragon chasing him. Either of them alone would break him, but together, they were too powerful, it was insane for him to get away from them.
"Dodge!"
"Leave me alone!"
Makoto yelled, as he jumped into the air, avoiding a very large and real fireball coming right for his body. Due to the strength of the fire, Makoto was sure that he would die if he ever came into contact with those flames.
Makoto activated Excalibur Rapidly, and increased his speed, shooting around the battlefield with flames and demonic power from Vali.
"Don't run away!"
"You just told me to dodge! You're sending me mixed messages right now!"
Makoto yelled back to Tiamat, but she didn't stop and unleashed ball after ball of flames towards him. He cried, and used his powers to dodge the flames. Even then, they were getting increasingly bigger and bigger. Makoto was sure that she was doing this to make him feel sick or something.
As Makoto ran away, Vali appeared before him, and made a swing with her fist. He had the knowledge to jump out of the way, but flames them came from above, slamming into him, smashing him against a nearby rock formation.
Makoto fell down to the ground, breathing hard.
It had been several hours since they began once more.
Everyday was the same, they were doing this to break him he was sure.
Even then, it didn't matter.
Makoto had to do it, to become stronger.
Even then they truly were harsh teachers.
"Watch it, don't burn him from behind. I need that part of him."
Vali reprimanded Tiamat, but Tiamat just scoffed.
"Don't say such things, I'm going to be showing a hard side of me right now. I have to make him stronger, and that's what I am doing. I'm going to be teaching things that Dragon's like us learn about from a young age."
At that moment, Makoto remembered once again what he was…
A Dragon.
He was a Dragon, and that was a scary thought for him.
He didn't even think that he would be a Dragon, but he was, an Evil Dragon at that.
"Even then, don't burn his ass, I need that."
"You're weird, Hakuryuukou."
"Coming from the overgrown lizard."
Tiamat's eyes sharpened on the young woman, but Vali didn't seem to care at all.
"Whatever you say Hakuryuukou, I wont be losing to you either."
Makoto was glad for the distraction, he needed to catch his breath after all.
But that soon ended when Tiamat opened her mouth and shot off a large ball of flames towards Makoto.
"Shit!"
Makoto dodged to the side, only to see Vali right there. Vali sent a barrage of punches and kicks towards him. Using his new eyes, he managed to see them coming, so he avoided all of the punches, using the Excalibur Rapidly power to allow him to move faster.
"Good Makoto, you're becoming faster. Even if you can see my movements, if you can't dodge, then there's no point. But you're becoming faster. Soon, you'll not even need to use the weapon you have to increase your speed either."
Makoto panted, when Vali closed the distance. She faked right, but Makoto saw it with a twitch of her other arm quickly, so knew where she was coming from, surprising Vali by jumping, and landing a hard kick to the torso of Vali, blowing her backwards and slammed the young woman into a nearby wall.
Makoto looked on, as Vali smirked.
"That's right Makoto, I want to see your powers."
Makoto let out a small breath, allowing the young man to breathe harder.
"I-I don't know if I can Vali-chan, I'm getting tired..."
"Nonsense, you'll need at least this stamina to keep up with me, though your bedroom stamina is fine, and this will help you have sex with multiple women as well, which I am sure is going to happen. I can stay in Balance Breaker, for a month, you need to awaken Balance Breaker."
Makoto looked at his Sacred Gear, but it didn't seem to be changing.
"It's not happening Vali-chan! I can't just awaken it like that!"
Vali placed a finger by her chin, and hummed to herself.
"Maybe it might need a different response for it to awaken...maybe a change of circumstances or something..."
"Vali-chan, if I could, I would awaken Balance Breaker, I don't want to be taken by Apep and the others. I want to be strong, but it isn't happening...maybe, I'm just not able to awaken such a power..."
"No, I don't believe that's right. You can, you need another kind of push than the ones we're giving you. Though this training isn't a waste, it'll improve your stats either way. But still, we'll just have to find another way for you to awaken Balance Breaker if this way doesn't work. It's fine, don't worry."
"It isn't fine!" Tiamat growled from the side. "He'll awaken Balance Breaker, whether I have to burn him or not!"
Vali turned her eyes towards Tiamat, and sharpened her gaze.
"He'll awaken it, but I wont let anyone hurt him too seriously."
Tiamat scoffed.
"Fine, if that's how you want to go about it, it is your choice. I don't have a Sacred Gear, so you know more about them than I do. I'll leave that part to you. But for now, lets get back to training! I wont be losing it now!"
Vali turned back towards Makoto, who panted hard.
Vali closed the distance, and thrusted her hand towards him. Since he saw it coming, he avoided it, only for Tiamat to swipe him with her claws. Makoto felt the claws dig into his flesh, cutting him, and flung him away into the rocks, hard.
Vali looked on, grimacing at the sight of Makoto being tossed around like a ragdoll that he could have been perceived as.
Makoto even then, got up, and froze his wounds thanks to his Sacred Gear. The bird laid on his shoulder, and he looked tired. His chest heaved up and down, he looked truly like he was going to fall over due to exhaustion.
But even then, he stood tall, as much as he could right now, and got into a battle position.
"L-Lets keep going then..."
Makoto wasn't going to stop, and continued training hard into the day and fell towards the night.
When night came, and he finally got a chance to relax, Makoto slipped into a nearby hot spring, and allowed his body to feel calm. Wounds covered his body, and even though he was in pain, he fished out a bottle of Phoenix Tears that Ravel had given him.
Opening them, he poured them over the wounds that he had on his body. He felt sour all over, but he hoped that this would help, and at least, the wounds closed up, even if his aching body didn't do anything.
As he rested in the water, Kuroka in cat form, came into the water, and went towards Makoto's body. The young cat went towards his chest, and rubbed it with her head. He looked down towards her, and petted her head.
"Are you being a good kitten?"
"Yup nyaaa~ I've come to take your stress and fatigue away~"
Makoto looked intrigued, as Kuroka's body began glowing white. Her powers transferred towards Makoto, and allowed his body to feel better, more rejuvenated. He also felt his body feeling more calm by the second.
"W-Whoa, is that Senjutsu?"
"It is indeed Mako-chan~ I have such cool powers, don't I nyaaaa? Your body should be feeling better now."
True to what she said, he did feel better than before. It was like he was being filled with new energy.
He looked down at Kuroka once more, seeing how she was looking at his crotch. This time, he didn't bother covering it up, and just allowed her to look at him down below.
"Kuroka-san, could you tell me something?"
"What's that my penis...I mean my Mako-chan?"
Makoto rolled his eyes, and continued.
"It's just, about the fact that you also...I mean, about why you were convicted as a criminal in the Underworld. I did some research, and found out you killed your former Master, right?" Kuroka simply nodded. "Why did you do it?"
"I was power hungry."
"You're lying."
Kuroka looked towards him.
"How would you know nyaaa?"
"Because your answer sounded scripted in the way you delivered it. It was like you planned to say it and said it to yourself again and again, like it wasn't a worry. But it is a worry for you, what happened during that time?"
"The Devils branded me a criminal because I killed my former Master, and that's what happened."
"Yes, on paper that would be a fine answer...but, you don't look like a blood thirsty killer to me." Kuroka's eyes slowly opened but then she closed then, and kept close to the young boy. "So, tell me, why did you kill your former Master?"
"Why should it matter to you?"
"Because siblings shouldn't be away from one another, and like I said, you don't look like a blood thirsty killer to me. And also, a killer like I've read, wouldn't heal me like this, you wouldn't even bother, right? So tell me, about your former Master, and your life, okay? I'll help you, if you tell me. I'll do my best, and you'll be able to spend more time with Koneko-chan, I'm sure she'd want that."
Kuroka scoffed.
"That's cute Mako-chan, but she wouldn't want to be near me. I abandoned her long ago, I'd want to be with my Imouto...but, she wouldn't want to spend time with me. Don't worry about me Mako-chan, I'm fine nyaaa~ I'd even be more happy, if you let me play with your penis~ I need strong children Mako-chan and your status as an Evil Dragon, I want your DNA, so be prepared for us to have sex."
Kuroka said it so normally that Makoto thought she was joking for a few moments.
But then he saw the hazy gaze of her eyes on his form, and he didn't like that at all.
"W-Wait, what!?"
Kuroka changed from her kitten form, and turned into her human form, with her cat parts showing. She clung to Makoto's body tightly, her breasts pressing against him. The tips of her breasts dug into his body and allowed him to feel good but worried at the same time.
Kuroka, while purring, stroked his face.
"Mako-chan, I'm saying, you can impregnate me, and make children with me. I want to have the seed of the strongest Evil Dragon's child inside of me, so lets get to it, don't worry, we wont be doing bondage this time, next time perhaps, I just want your penis right now Mako-chan inside of me. You want a family right Mako-chan with many children? Let that be me as well, I'll give you my body so you can give me children. Lets make Dragon kitten children! It will be the best. The aura of the Dragon and my adorable kitten powers mixing together, and having fun~"
Kuroka, with a bold movement, grabbed his erection, and began crawling on top of him. She attempted to position herself on his lap, but he snapped to his senses, blushing madly, moved his hands to intercept her.
"No!" Makoto pushed her off, but she still clung to him. "Y-You can't do that! We have to consent, before, idiot!"
Kuroka pursed her lips.
"Well, consent then, and I'll rock your world. Come on, I wanna do you above anyone else. You took care of me for a year and above nyaaa. You gave me a warm home nyaaa~ I hadn't had that in so long, and besides, I didn't have to do many missions for Vali-chan nyaa~ All I had to do was be a good cuddle partner, and that's what I'm doing now, only we'll be doing an adult cuddle, with our interlocking bodies, interlocking. So, basically, do me here and now."
Makoto sat there, wide mouthed, unable to believe that she said something like that. But her eyes didn't display anything other than a loving yet sexually stimulated look to them, and it frightened him how forward she was.
"Geez! C-Calm down! We hardly know one another!"
"What are you talking about nyaaa? We know one another. You know my likes, dislikes, and everything else. And I know you, so what's the problem? Come on, use that penis..." She looked down, smacking her lips together. "Damn, that penis looks healthy." She drooled slightly, looking back at his face. "Your body is almost making me go into heat. You think I'm horny now, just wait until I do go into heat, you'd lose your mind in our passions."
"N-No! Hold on! Calm yourself down! W-Why have you gone into this mode all of a sudden!?"
Kuroka showed a dirty smile on her face, allowing her magnificent breasts to fall onto his body. She gently caressed his face, and then gave it a lick. He fell back in surprise, but Kuroka didn't stop, reaching her hand downwards. She allowed her hand to slide all the way down his front and rest on his crotch.
His hitched his breath, but she smirked, feeling the hardening tool in her hand.
"Ararara, you're getting even harder Mako-chan. Could your body be admitting something that you're not? It's cute, I want to feel your body, and its hardened member inside of me. Fufufu, don't worry my adorable cute Mako-chan, I'll take care of your body. Why don't I give you a paizuri for a little while?"
"P-Paizuri!?"
Kuroka, to show her point, grabbed her breasts, lifting them up, and practically shoved them in his face. He pulled away and went to the other side of the hot springs, but Kuroka loved a challenge, and lewdly smacked her lips together.
"Now, now Mako-chan. Don't run away from me, come here, and let me perform my adorable duties as a cute kitten."
"Cute kittens don't do this!"
Kuroka jumped to the other side of the baths, and caught the boy between her boobs. He squirmed to get away, but she wouldn't let him go, and that was a promise. Her arms wrapped tightly around the boys body and it felt good for the young woman, and he felt weirded out by her body since he thought of her as something else than she was right now.
"Cute kittens do more than this for their Master, and this pussy wants some milk right now, Mako-chan. Don't be a bad boy, and give me your-"
"Kuroka."
"Shit!"
Kuroka jumped away from the young boy, quickly changing into the kitten form, and floated in the water. Makoto looked on, seeing a naked busty Vali coming towards the water. His face turned red, but she didn't seem to care.
She walked to the water, and got into the springs with him. She pushed her body towards Makoto's own, sitting next to him. She took the back of his head, placing it to her breast, making him blush even more.
"V-Vali-chan..."
Vali's eyes went towards Kuroka who whistled innocently. She knew she must have tried something, but for now, she didn't care. She instead took the young boy, and put him on her lap. Within a second, her hand laid on his butt, and her eyes dangled on his own eyes.
"Makoto, seems like you're okay."
He slowly nodded his head in acceptance.
"Y-Yes, my body feels better. You sent Kuroka-san to cure me of my fatigue."
"I did, seems like that damn Dragon also tries to push you beyond your limits."
Makoto gently shook his head, laying his head on her breast.
"It's okay, I have to become stronger Vali-chan, and Tiamat-san is helping me out with that as well."
Vali's hand slowly made circles across his butt, making him scowl at her, but she didn't stop either.
"Yes, I'm sure you'll become stronger, but don't worry so much about it, you'll be fine. I'm sure you'll become stronger than the rest of your group, and when the day comes, we'll also have a fight as well. Even though I don't want to hurt you, I can't deny myself the challenge of facing you myself. It will be good fun."
Makoto smiled as a response, placing a hand on the young girls face. Her hand also placed on his face, and he then gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. Responding to that, she groped him from behind, making him moan out into her mouth, she enjoyed it happily to see his body.
"I know you will Vali-chan, we'll be facing one another one day, I know...but, not right now, you're too strong for someone like me. I'd seriously die if you came for me, you know?"
Makoto looked on, as Vali developed a smirk on her face.
"I don't know, you've been improving much during the training. You've managed to fight against me strongly, and even managed to fight me on a good level. I saw your fighting ability during these days of training, and I can't help but be impressed by your power."
Makoto developed a shy looking face while pointing towards himself cutely in Vali's opinion.
"...Me? Y-You're impressed by my power?"
Vali's fingers began digging into the young boys butt, making him squirm. But still, she showed a dirty smile on her lips.
"That's right, I also enjoy your power. Even when we were children, I often thought about your body and your butt, but I also thought of your power as well. And now, I can see it growing and growing more and more. And when it reaches the peak, I'm definitely going to be very interested to say the least. I want to face you in a battle Makoto, my team vs yours, don't disappoint me. Though when it comes to the bedroom, you never do disappoint me. Speaking of, later tonight, let us have sex."
"Y-Yes, we could do that..."
Makoto allowed a small chuckle to escape his throat in nervousness, and curled up to the young woman. Allowing her fingers to grope his butt, he just held onto the young woman's body, and allowed her to do as she wanted. She was going to do it anyway, and that's what she liked about it.
When his bath finished, and he was sure sitting down would be hard due to how Vali did what she wanted, he walked back to the camp, dressed and saw Tiamat sat near the fire that he was forced to make. Her knees were up to her chest, and she seemed to be in deep thought.
Her eyes shone from the flames of the fire, and her mouth parted ever so slightly. Whatever it was that she was thinking, Makoto knew that it was going to be a deep thought regardless. Even then, he seemed quite fine with everything going on, and he wondered what was on her mind.
"Tiamat-san, what's going on?"
Tiamat looked towards Makoto, then returned her eyes to the flames.
"I'm thinking about your training and where to take it. If I should undo the seals or leave them as is...no, maybe undoing them all at once would cause your body to break down...you'll need to build your body up."
Makoto hummed to himself, walking closer the young woman. He sat down beside her, and cast his eyes towards her. Tiamat didn't look back, and just watched the embers of the flames come off in a dazzling form and shape.
"Tiamat-san, can I ask you something?"
Suddenly coming out with it, Tiamat cocked her head towards him.
"Yes?"
Makoto cleared his throat, and then continued after pausing for a few moments.
"...How...I mean, when I was...before I was Hyoudou Makoto, when you knew...me I guess, from what I could gather, could you tell me...what I was like...was I, much different? And do you know who this Chelia-san is…? People keep saying her name, and it sounds so familiar, but I've never met her before so I just...don't understand what I should be thinking and feeling right now."
"Well, you aren't much different, but you were...more battle hardened before, and more closed off. But had a similar personality as to now. Kind, caring, generous, and loving, and always protected the weak. I remember that man well, he disappeared some years before, and it was, heart wrenching. I, feel sorrow for everything that's happened...everything that happened to you, terrible things, I am sorry that you were made to suffer, I promised an oath that would never happen. I promised that you wouldn't...but, it seems that you were, so that was my error..."
"Back...before I knew you, what were you to me?"
Tiamat's eyes went towards Makoto, and looked upon the young boy's face. His eyes fluttered, and she began showing a small smile on her lips. Because of that, she enjoyed it all the same, the same smile.
"We were, very close. We made a pact with one another. You, did something for me during the past, and saved my life. I swore my allegiance to you, and you also said the same thing to me. Then, we made a pact. I became your partner, and you became mine, and we had...many adventures. We even chased down some Boosted Gear wielders...maybe that's why Chelia placed you with him...damn Sekiryuutei, better give my treasure back or I'll start burning the..."
Makoto gave her a weird look.
"You...really don't like Ddraig and Onii-chan do you?"
"Damn Ddraig, I hate him...he took and used my treasures and other things happened, and it just didn't sound good to me...grrrr, I really dislike how this came about. I mean, come on, he's just an annoying little..." Makoto gave her another weird look. "You wanted to talk about, Chelia, right?"
"Y-Yes please, could you tell me about Chelia-san please?"
Tiamat inclined her head, and continued.
"Yes, of course. Chelia is...well, she's someone that cares about you. She, I guess you could say she was like an Onee-sama to all of you. She was, one of the older ones, and she always, looked after you all. Even though you were the leader of the group-"
"Leader...so, what they say about me being their...lord, is true?"
Makoto had to wonder that.
Was it only them calling him that?
Or was there another reason all together?
"Yes, it is true. Once upon a time, you were their leader, their lord. You, brought them together, and gave them a home. Chelia, could be seen as someone who also depended on your kindness, but she returned that favour by also providing care and love for the younger ones. And, it is true what he said...years ago, you and the others, were tortured, and experimented on...I don't have the full knowledge on what happened, you never told me what had fully happened, but I can only assume it is the worst for a few reasons."
"Ooh...so, I'm an experiment...a-and, wh-why did I end up with the Hyoudou's? I don't understand..."
"You and me both." She revealed sadly. "Chelia, only gave a vague reason as to protect you. If there's other reasons, I don't know...but, you should know, even if you are an experiment, you are an Evil Dragon, but that doesn't make you evil. You were, born of Crom Cruach, and he...well, he's a very difficult person to get along with."
"Crom Cruach...the more I hear about this person, the more I wish to see him...he's my Otou-sama after all...I'd love to know what he was like..."
"Do you not care if he loves you or not?"
"Of course I care...I'd want to know if he did or not...but, knowing about him is enough right now. I figured I'd go through life without knowing the truth. The Hyoudou's, they didn't like discussing it, now I know the reason why, is because they didn't know. But if I can make it through this life, and then find him...then I'd like to speak with him-"
"He's quite the battle maniac. He's probably worse than the Hakuryuukou in that regards."
Makoto began chuckling to the confusion of Tiamat.
"I see, he'd probably be disappointed in me then. I'm not exactly living up to the Evil Dragon title, am I?"
"If you are or not, doesn't matter. You're still a Dragon with many different desires, and you can prove yourself to be a different kind of Evil Dragon. Apep and the rest of them chose to go to a dark side...but, knowing their past, it makes sense. You could have easily fell into the darkness, but you never did. Even after the evil intentions of others around you, you still thrived, survived, and continued on like nothing was worrying to you. It was hard to understand why you always managed to hold a smile, especially when we saw one another...you always smiled for me, and I felt oddly complete, I was and am very surprised. Even now, you smile for me...it's strange, this world is very strange..."
As he listened to Tiamat's words, Makoto's eyes began to become less there. He seemed to be drifting into another realm all together. Whatever that was, Makoto didn't know, but soon he was gone, and was replaced with something else.
"Tiamat, it seems like you've become suddenly sullen."
Tiamat's eyes widened at the tone, she recognized the tone instantly.
Her eyes hopefully went towards him, and she saw the same look that she had received from him a long time ago.
"...You've returned..."
"Briefly." He clarified. "I, sensed no other around and decided to use what little energy I have to come out. It seems like you're training this body, that's good. You can do it, Tiamat, train this body to handle my power, and then release it slowly."
"...Are you only going to talk about that? What about the last time that we saw one another? Aren't you going to mention anything at all?"
Alternative Makoto hummed to himself.
"Did it need to be expanded upon? I explained my feelings quite well last time, could there be something that you're not satisfied about?"
Tiamat inhaled a breath.
"...It's just you disappeared. I thought that you were dead."
"I, am gone now, Tiamat. This is merely an echo. The new life this body holds, is what the future is, in time, we'll come together, and speak to one another. But, consider this new boy, Hyoudou Makoto, as the ruler of this body. He has his own spirit, his own heart, and his own thoughts. I'm, sorry for what happened in the past."
"You don't have to apologize...but, what about our promise...do I, just not...how can I honour it…?"
"Honour it, with the new me." He explained dryly, and then showed a hint of a smile. "Seems like, you protected me when Apep and the others, came for this body. You fought amicably, you have nothing to be criticized for. Take care of this body, and tell the others, hello from me. I am, sealed, so it is hard to come out like this, and eventually, I'll be gone as well-"
"I don't want you to disappear..."
Alternative Makoto laid his hand over Tiamat's hand. She flipped her hand and held onto his hand.
"I'll never be far away, Tiamat. I'm here, inside of this boy, and he'll be here. He's a new soul and I am the old one, we'll eventually come together. While he sees confusion, I see clarity, and that's why, do not let Apep and the others get this boy, he'll be taken over, and he'll...well, I don't want him to go through another suffering like I did, this boy grew up normally, in a normal home with normal humans...I always wondered what a normal life would be like, and he experienced it...he's the lucky one between us. Well, until what went down with the Fallen Angels, and such, that wasn't pleasant, and it did cause a problem."
Tiamat sullen eyes cast downwards.
"I wish that we could have had one last day together..."
"I regret little in this world. I do regret, that we couldn't have spent more time together. Since we're both Dragon's, I had hoped we'd spend many lifetime's together. It just didn't have that on the cards, did it? But, Hyoudou Makoto is here now, he's me, with the same everything's. Don't be too rough on the boy, or his training, as the Hakuryuukou would be disappointed, due to you trying to burn this body and what she loves on this body, it is one of my greatest assets."
Tiamat snorted, squeezing onto his hand.
"By the way, Chelia keeps sending me her sundaes..."
"I always loved Chelia's sundaes."
"That's because you liked the taste of death and decay." Tiamat showed a surprising smile on her face. But then her face became serious. "...Can I talk to you again in the future?"
"Yeah...I'll save my power to talk to you again." Alternative Makoto's eyes went into Tiamat's own eyes. "It was, nice speaking to you again Tiamat, I had missed you."
"And I you my..." Just then, as she was going to continue, Alternative Makoto's eyes flickered, and he changed back to normal Makoto. "...it seems like Chelia talk puts a dampener on your spirits."
She finished off, removing her hand before he noticed.
"Tiamat-san...w-what's going on? We were just talking about Chelia-san and the likes, but..."
"You're exhausted." She explained, showing a sad smile. "You should, sleep, we've got, training tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day. I'll be damned if you can't at least Dragon up your skin like the others can."
"T-Turn my body into that of a Dragon?"
"At least parts of it for now. Full Dragon mode comes later."
Makoto adopted a large smile, and nodded his head.
"Of course, then I'll be getting to bed, thanks for the talk Tiamat-san...even though I still have questions..."
"They'll be answered eventually, good things come to those who wait."
Makoto showed a pout, and walked away, while Tiamat slightly tittered to herself.
The next day, Serafall had come to see Makoto, so he was allowed to take a break. Finally, he managed to take the break he desperately wanted, and now, Serafall had Makoto on her lap, while he ate some food that Asia, had made, along with the other girls in his peerage.
Even though there was a lot, he had all of them. It was too good to pass up, and he also felt the tender loving care that all of the women had taken into account when making the lunches for Makoto.
"These are amazing Sera-tan! Give everyone my thanks, alright?"
Makoto asked the young woman who responded with a cute smile on her lips.
"Thank you Ma-tan, all the girls put in a lot of love and care for it~ Even Gasper-chan, Yumi-chan and Akeno-chan made some as well. Wasn't that cute for you Ma-tan? And while we're at it, damn Ma-tan, you're looking even sexier since the last time I saw you~"
Serafall said it while kissing him on the cheek, and rubbing his body with her own body from behind.
"If I've changed, it's because of the Dragon and the Devil girl who want to come and attack me strongly. While it feels like hell, I have been getting stronger and stronger. And I am excited for whatever is gonna happen Sera-tan. But this food does taste delicious, I can't help but eat like this, I feel like a pig right now."
"However that is Ma-tan, I'm enjoying your body and also, seeing you become more manlier by the day. Your power is growing, and while I can't take sides, please at least beat Saji up because I don't like him either~ But, it must be scary to have the pair of them chasing after you, it must be very scary."
"Hehe, well it can be very scary. But I can feel myself becoming stronger and stronger. I don't know why that is, I don't know how it is, but I'm becoming stronger all of the time. Though I haven't been able to reach Balance Breaker yet...I've been trying my best, but I haven't reached it for some weird reason. Vali-chan told me how she reached it, and I've tried similar methods, but it just hasn't worked at all."
"It can't be helped Ma-tan. Even if you haven't yet, Sacred Gear's are fickle things, and will grow on their own time. When you need Balance Breaker, that's when it is going to come Ma-tan. Sometimes forcing it isn't going to work, you'll just have to wait until your Sacred Gear works by itself, and shows a strong good side of this all."
Makoto looked on towards Serafall, turning around on her lap. Her hands rested on his butt, so he kept on her lap, and didn't fall off.
"When fighting Apep during that time, I felt like I could reach it...but, since then it hasn't happened. I wanted the power to beat him back, and thanks to Gasper-san, I'm able to use the power to freeze time briefly, even if it is something, of an oddity. But I'm able to use it once or twice a day and maybe even more, but not much. It takes more power than the one that Gasper-san does."
"I see. Well that's interesting Ma-tan, using such a cool power would be amazing. Yes, I can see it happening. And I can't wait for you to do it as well Ma-tan. So, why don't you just do your best? No one can ask for anything more than that. You can do as you want and increase your powers your own way. I mean, you're a young boy Ma-tan and because of that, you can do it better than anyone else, you've got the power to change yourself and shape yourself in anyway whatsoever. Even if it is a worry for you, it shouldn't be something you should be scared of. Your power, even your Dragon power."
"Tiamat-sans been training me on that but I haven't mastered much of it yet. I've not been able to do much of it yet."
"Even then, Tiamat-chan is the best Dragon King, and you'll be all good. She'll be a great teacher to you, and you'll do your best Ma-tan~ Though Tiamat-chan, has she been a bad girl or something? Has she done anything?"
"No, nothing at all. We've just been training. Anyway, how are the others? Are they okay?"
At that, Serafall's smile soon faded away.
"Well, there's been, something else entirely...you see, there's something going on with Koneko-chan right now."
"What's wrong with Koneko-chan?"
Makoto became alert, worried for the young girl.
Serafall let out a breath at my question.
"Well, it seems like she pushed herself beyond what she should be doing and collapsed. She fell over due to exhaustion, and Koneko-chan, she needs someone that is going to come and help her, and it isn't me that can help her. Ma-tan, it is you."
Immediately, he stood up, and began moving his feet.
"Where is she Sera-tan?"
Serafall, rather than answer, began chuckling to herself.
"My cute Ma-tan, you truly will be a great King. Worried for her. She's not in any immediate danger or anything. Asia-chan's already treated her injuries, but it is her cute heart that needs to be on the mend right now."
"Her heart huh..."
"Yes, her cute heart needs assistance Ma-tan. She's doubting herself right now, she's worried that she's not good enough, even with Senjutsu. I think that it has to do with those guys and girls that we fought during the factions meeting and such."
"She has been quiet since then...was it because of that Orochi girl who had caused her trouble? I know that she felt bad for losing to her...but, did she take it so far as to truly become a girl that's worried about her?"
"That Orochi girl is a scary girl, and I can see why Koneko-chan might be feeling odd right now. But don't worry so much about it, you can help her out of it Ma-tan, because it is you, my cute Queen, you'll help her, I trust you in that."
Makoto nodded his head, placing a hand over his heart.
"Would it be alright if I left training for the moment?"
"Of course my cute Queen, go and protect that cute girls heart. I'm sure if it is my Queen, you'll be able to get through to her."
Makoto was glad that she had so much trust in him.
"Thanks Sera-tan, I need to go and get to her right away."
Serafall nodded her head, telling him the information that he needed to do, and when she told him, Makoto took off running right away. She smiled to herself, speaking "That's my Queen for you, always doing the cutest thing." to herself, watching the dust that was her Queen right now.
After Makoto heard the news of Koneko collapsing, he rushed right back to the castle. He rushed through the halls, running as fast as he could, which was immensely fast due to the new speeds he had been granted.
Getting through the hallowed halls, he made it to a single bedroom, one where Koneko was inside.
His knuckle went to the door, and then lightly rapped on it.
He wouldn't burst in, but he was going to do everything he could to help her.
When he didn't hear a reply, he knocked once more. He knew she was inside, he could at least sense that much thanks to his training. He wasn't a Senjutsu user by any means, but he could feel it deep inside that she was inside.
Finally, after a minute or so of waiting, he heard a squeaky "Come inside." so that's what he did. Getting inside, he saw Ravel by her bedside, looking on in concern. Even though they had their falling outs sometimes, in her time of need, Ravel always was there to make sure that Koneko was alright.
"Makoto-sama, sorry about you coming all the way here."
Makoto shook his head, walking into the room.
"No, don't worry about it Ravel-san." Ravel nodded her head, Makoto making his way to the bed. He sat nearby, seeing an exhausted looking Koneko sat there with her Neko parts showing. "Koneko-chan, I heard that you've been overworking yourself to the point of exhaustion? Why are you doing that? It wont do any good for your body."
Koneko understood that.
But there was something happening deep inside of Koneko right now.
She couldn't fight it, she felt depressed about it.
She kept playing it in her head again and again, and it never got any better, it always got through her that she felt worried about something like this.
"…I want to…"
She whispered it so quietly that he didn't hear what she said.
"Eh? What is it? You've been acting strange for a while now Koneko-chan, you can tell me you know?"
Then, Koneko looked straight at him and spoke in a clear tone while holding tears in her eyes.
"I want to become strong. Like Millicas-sama, Elmen-san, Kalawarner-san, and even Irina-senpai as well…and also Mako-kun, I want to make my spirit and body strong. I don't have a healing power like Asia-san either…At this rate, I'll become useless. Even though I'm a Rook, I'm the…weakest…I hate being useless…"
"Koneko-chan…you're not useless. Why would you think you're useless? I've never thought that about you Koneko-chan. No, you're not useless Koneko-chan."
Even though he said that, Koneko's eyes began watering. Even though she had opened up to him before, seeing her cry, wasn't a good sign in his eyes. Ravel also understood that this should be a private moment, so she slipped herself out of the room, and made sure no one would bother them at all.
Makoto got onto the bed nearby, sitting right next to her. Koneko's eyes went towards his, so he allowed his finger to rub under her eyes, brushing away the tears that held there. Koneko didn't stop crying though, so Makoto's arm went around her.
"Koneko-chan, why did you really push yourself?"
"...I don't want to be weak...that girl, Orochi, she tossed me around like I was a plaything. I couldn't even...I couldn't fight her...she was going to take Mako-kun, and I...I couldn't even d-do anything...w-with awakening my Senjutsu...I couldn't even protect Mako-kun and he n-nearly died again...a-and, because I'm weak...Mako-kun wouldn't want to take me as a Rook...I'd be worthless..."
Makoto could understand why she was feeling like she was.
Makoto took Koneko's body and placed the young girl on his lap. Koneko continued to cry collapsing onto his chest. She sobbed her poor heart out on his chest, so he stroked the back of her head, and showed a smile on his face.
"Koneko-chan, Orochi, that girl, is very powerful. No one on my 'peerage' could take her alone. Even Millicas-san, even myself, we wouldn't win on our own. But, together, we can, because Koneko-chan, is my Rook."
Koneko gasped, looking right up at him.
"Mako-kun I...y-you'd wa-want someone like me…?"
Makoto looked towards her, surprised that she would even say something like that. But he reassured her the best that he could, he wasn't going to ever stop reassuring her.
"What are you talking about? The you I see before me, is pretty amazing. The Koneko-chan who came to protect me when I first turned into a Devil. Koneko-chan, when Zephyrdor came, you also joined Millicas-san without even thinking about it, to me, that shows, courage, strength. If there's something weak about you, then I couldn't see it, I can't see it at all."
"Mako-kun...I want...Mako-kun...I want to be strong..."
"You are Koneko-chan, you're strong, you're my Rook. Hehe, I'm stealing you from Buchou. She'll be shocked when I take you away from Buchou."
Koneko allowed a small laugh to escape her lips, which was a very surprising thing from the young girl, but Makoto found it extremely cute at that moment.
"Mako-kun...can steal me from Buchou...if you want me..."
"I've already decided, you're my Rook. I'll talk to Buchou and convince her myself, I want to take Koneko-chan with me. And when seeing you push yourself to this level of exhaustion, it breaks my heart Koneko-chan, I never want to see you pushing yourself to this level. And to me, you're not worthless, so don't ever say that again. You're not useless. Okay? You lost to Orochi, she's crazy strong. None of us could beat her alone, but we're not alone, we're a peerage, a family, and you're apart of that, you're apart of my family Koneko-chan. I've already decided that you're apart of my family, and I'm never letting you go. Never ever, you're going to be by my side."
"Mako-kun…."
She sobbed out, but Makoto continued to smile, placing his hand on her soft cheek. Koneko sunk into his hand, feeling his warmth. His fingers danced across her cheek, and lovingly, felt the boys hand on her face, sending love into her body and spreading around.
Her eyes went up to his face, and lingered on his lips. Briefly, Koneko pursed her lips, but then closed them, falling on his chest. Makoto stroked the young girls hair, holding her with his arm.
"Koneko-chan, don't scare me again, okay? You don't have to do anything like this again. Train at your own pace, everyone's improving, and every single member of my peerage has a different role to play. Even if you aren't the most strongest, you've got a different role, there's different ways to be strong Koneko-chan. Your Senjutsu is amazing, it's beautiful, like you are, my main Loli."
Koneko allowed a small gasp to escape her lips. She looked up towards him, seeing his playful smile. She looked rather embarrassed though. Her face was a picture a thousand words couldn't tell, she looked so embarrassed that he knew of that.
"Y-You heard about t-that…?"
She felt extremely shocked, but Makoto couldn't hold back the fun feelings he felt inside of him right now.
"Hehe, I've been hearing you've been organizing the Loli's of my harem, right Koneko-chan?" Koneko's face flushed red, but Makoto allowed a simple titter to escape his mouth. "It's okay Koneko-chan, I find it adorable, that you cared enough to do something like that."
"...I am number one Loli after all."
Makoto chuckled awkwardly, he wasn't sure on how to respond to that.
"Koneko-chan's definitely funny~" Makoto chuckled out, but then held Koneko close. "But I was serious before, don't push yourself so hard ever again...never feel worthless, because you're not, you're a huge part of my life, of my peerage, I couldn't do it without you Koneko-chan."
Koneko's eyes began watering again, but for a better reason this time. Her eyes went towards Makoto's golden and black one. Makoto's face turned into a smile once more, allowing his fingers to brush some hair out of the way on her forehead.
Makoto then saw Koneko's face turn into a smile.
"Koneko-chan?"
"I promise."
"Hmmm?"
He hummed for her to continue, which she did within seconds.
"I promise that I wont push myself so far again, I'll stay with Mako-kun as his Rook, no matter what else happens. I want to stay with Mako-kun, no matter what. Mako-kun...because, I really care for Mako-kun too..."
"I care for you too Koneko-chan. I really do. Stay with me, Koneko-chan, and I'll take care of you, I promise. I'm not ever going to let you go, I'll always keep you with me Koneko-chan, it doesn't matter what else happens, you're staying with me."
Koneko, at that moment, allowed her inhibitions to not stop her anymore, leaning upwards. Makoto didn't stop her, and allowed her to continue. Her lips, and his own overlapped one another's own lips, sharing their first kiss.
Makoto held onto the young girl, while she sat on his lap. Their lips meshed together and again, Koneko didn't hold back in the kissing. But since Makoto had more experience in it, he was more in control of the kiss, even then Koneko did her best to add to the kiss, which Makoto loved.
Her lips were small, and soft. They tasted different to the other girls he had kissed before, and he was glad that Koneko had begun accepting herself again, seeing that she wasn't useless, and that he could get through to her, and now she wouldn't push herself so hard.
Makoto continued to kiss, and hold Koneko for a few more moments, before pulling apart. A small trail of saliva separated them, but then Makoto moved closer, gently brushing her lips with his own, making Koneko smile, licking the saliva away.
Koneko, once the kiss finished, panted due to the hot and heaviness of the feelings she held inside.
"Mako-kun...I can really stay beside you now?"
"I wouldn't let you go anywhere else Koneko-chan, you have to stay beside me, no matter what."
Koneko fell against him, cuddling onto him lovingly.
"Mako-kun, you can stay for a while, yes? Please...stay here with me."
Makoto chuckled slightly and evenly.
"Of course I can, I'll be here for a while yet Koneko-chan. I'll stay with you, my Rook."
Koneko gently pushed Makoto onto the bed, and her small body got on top of him. While showing her small smile, she leaned down towards him, and kissed the young boy on the lips once more, while Makoto held her.
Koneko, slowly was releasing more and more of her heart towards him, and he accepted it, loved it and held it dearly in his hands. He was always going to keep her with him. His hands rested on Koneko's small butt, and ran his finger up her tail, catching her by surprise. But she still smiled, and deeply kissed him for a long time, before Koneko began feeling tired once more.
Since she was tired, Makoto laid her on the bed, allowing her to sleep. Koneko's body curled up towards him, and he accepted it, holding onto the young girls body, and kept her close, kept her safe and sound.
"Good night Koneko-chan, sleep well."
Makoto murmured, and if she heard him or not, he didn't know. But he saw that she was smiling in her sleep, and always kept close towards him, and never ever let him go, she stayed with him, and never would let him go, not that he minded either.
Tomorrow, he would have to go back to training. Tonight, he was going to stay and comfort Koneko with everything that he could do.
End chapter!
Now with the training underway, we got more into the Kuroka/Makoto relationship, and the Tiamat/Makoto relationship as well as some Vali/Makoto as well. Also, with Koneko who shared their first kiss together, and are quite close to one another. They're also planning their attacks on the others as well. Yumi and Makoto had a tender moment between the two of them.
