"Are you ready?"

"Yes, I am ready. How about you?"

"Yes!" Xenovia nodded as she got her hands ready. They were making groping motions as if she was about to grope a pair of… …tentacles! Her eyes were shining, like how a young boy's would when he sees a stick.

Issei let a tentacle out of his arm. It was a purple one with suckers on one side but smooth on the other. A slim webbing connected part of the side of the tentacles to the arm of Issei. The whole tentacle was only as long as Issei's arm and curled at the tip.

Xenovia wasted no time and started feeling out the length of the tentacle. She squished it and traced her fingers down its suckers. She looked all around it. It was rather velvety and squishy on top but felt pretty slimy under.

The shine in Xenovia's eyes slowly died out. "I thought it would feel… ..better."

Issei laughed. "Yes! You thought it would be like a mystical kind of feeling right?"

Xenovia nodded.

"I get you."

"May I feel your other tentacles?"

"Sure. I have a couple dozen other tentacles," Issei said. Tentacles grew from around his shoulder until his whole arm was a mass of tentacles. Tentacles. Tentacles of all sorts of shapes and sizes covered in scales, hair, bone, and everything carbon related. Some tentacles looked like vines complete with chlorophyll. Others looked like a reptile's tail, covered in scales and spikes all over. Many looked like tentacles you'd see in a hentai.

Xenovia looked in awe at the amount of tentacles to feel. Her hands latched onto one that looked like a snake's tail. It was slick and scaly, cool to the touch. Her hands felt up another, this one felt wooden like a tree. Xenovia groped a pair of tentacles. One was soft and flaccid to the touch while one was as stiff as a blade.

Slowly, the tentacles were also feeling Xenovia's arms and legs. Xenovia let them be, also curious to what they felt like on her body.

"Issei, wrap one around me."

Issei raised an eyebrow up then grinned.

A slick tentacle wrapped around Xenovia's bare waist. It lifted her up carefully until her toes no longer felt the ground.

"It's pretty strong," Xenovia commented. She squirmed in an attempt to get away from the slimy appendage. She tried to brute force out of it. She stopped and thought for a moment. Using her natural and trained flexibility, Xenovia brought her feet into the coil of the tentacle and wormed her way out.

In a swift motion, Xenovia got out of the tentacle and landed on the floor, rolling to a halt. She smiled haughtily. "Is that the best you could do?"

Issei's grin widened and retracted most of his tentacles. He left two out to confine Xenovia. "Come here, exorcist-chan. We'll have a fuuuuun time~" he sang sickly.

"By Mother Mary, you sound just like a perverted beast."

Xenovia dodged the tentacles that came her way. She was fast due to her exorcist training. Her muscles were honed to fight against the physically superior opponents.

The two tentacles split into ten and enveloped Xenovia. Xenovia gritted her teeth and performed nearly impossible feats of grace and dexterity. She shot through the holes in Issei's attack, just barely getting caught by the slimy tentacles that wanted to entrap her.

After a few moments of dodging, the tentacles became faster and more accurate in their mission to wrap Xenovia up. The blood in Xenovia's veins pumped faster as she worked up a light sweat. A grin made its way to her lips as she enjoyed being chased by the tentacles, just at the edge of being captured.

"This is good for reflex training," Xenovia thought to herself.

That stray thought would lead her to miscalculating her somersault and getting caught by the ankle. Xenovia reacted immediately and freed herself from the tentacle. But that moment of weakness was enough for the horde of tentacles to ensnare her in a slimy mess.

"AHHHH H H H H H! ! !"

…

Griselda woke up. "Ugh, jetlag," she groaned to herself in a whisper. She was no longer dressed in a nun's garb but casual clothes. She felt sleepy. Time zones are an annoyance.

Griselda took a glance at the mirror briefly and quickly fixed her hair. Nobody came knocking on her door yet, so dinner most likely wasn't ready.

She left her room and into the elevator that connected the floors. She clicked the button for the lowest floor and waited as it descended. This house wasn't bad. She wouldn't mind staying here for some time as they did their mission. They were here to investigate the anomaly that was Irina Shidou, nothing more. Male researchers couldn't make it since there was a ban on them; request of Issei Hyoudou. So it was left to her and Xenovia to look into things.

While Griselda had experience in science and investigation, Xenovia was only added since was the only person available at the time who could speak Japanese. The younger girl had no such experience handling lab materials and neither did she have experience in foreign relations.

Griselda feared what the brash Xenovia was up to now. She hoped the younger girl she saw as a sister didn't cause

"And they could do these! Try to see if you can escape now!" the boisterous voice of Issei Hyoudou echoed in the living room. His laughter was heard.

"H-Ha! As if these could hold me, you beast!"

Griselda smiled to herself. The two seemed to be getting along well.

Was what Griselda thought until she saw Xenovia caught up in tentacles of all shapes and skin colors. Her arms were held over her head and her legs were also suspended in the air away from each other. Her thighs, arms, breasts, and stomach were all wrapped around by Issei's tentacles.

She was struggling to get out from the mass of tentacles. A lone tentacle slither its way between her thighs, over her belly, around her breasts and made its way to her mouth.

"Xenovia! Get away from that!"
