The first layer of the Reverse Side of the World was quiet, relatively speaking. The presence of the Soul Society and the Common Sense of Man kept the city mostly clean of supernatural entities. Therefore, with the exception of few areas, it was safe.

Of course, not for ordinary humans. If a regular person were to find his way over there, their only hope to survive would be running for their lives. Some of the entities that roamed the city moved slower than a human's running speed, but not all of them.

However, for someone who had already ventured deeper down like Shirou had done, there was nothing to worry about if he kept clear of the city park. If he put up a basic Boundary Field, he wasn't afraid of being caught with his pants down as he was in that moment, both literally and metaphorically.

"Hhhm. Ahhhh!" Taiga moaned, laying sideways on a bed with a leg over Shirou's shoulder, while he held her thigh with both arms as he thrusted his cock deep inside her pussy. Their clothes had been cast around the room haphazardly.

Needless to say, Taiga's first foray in the Reverse Side didn't go exactly as Shirou expected it.

While Mikado busied herself with the preparation for their trip to Megijima, after Shirou revealed to his girlfriends his purpose for the trip and his intention of going without them, Taiga insisted that he first showed her the supernatural side of the world.

She had been stupefied by the carbon copy of Fuyuki, and eagerly listened to his advices when it came to dealing with the creatures of that layer. He even provided her with an armor of his making, which was a metal chest piece, gauntlets and greaves of a dull matte grey that she wore over her blue jeans and striped sweater like an impromptu urban fantasy warrior.

… which was exactly what Taiga had become, all things considered.

Said armor had ended up on the floor with the rest of her clothes, after she asked him to take a break in the middle of the night. Shirou had picked a room on the fifth floor of an apartment complex and warded it for good measure.

With that setup, they sat down next to each other and talked, until somehow they ended up making out, which then devolved into all out sex. Now, Shirou wasn't really an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but he had the feeling that Taiga had been planning it from the start.

Not that he minded.

In fact, he was pretty much happy of how things had turned out. Right after they had gotten together, Mikado revealed herself as a threat and Shirou's relationship with Taiga had been put on hold for security reasons. After that, between her commitment to cleansing spirits in Saeko's place and Shirou focusing on getting better, they almost never saw each other.

So, he supposed this was the only way they had to be together. Of course, Shirou being Shirou, having realized that he had been neglecting Taiga, he decided to go all out and hold nothing back.

For her part, Taiga seemed to appreciate. Under Shirou's relentless thrusting, she took the pillow with both arms and bit into it, leaving only the upper part of her face visible. Her hazy eyes stole glances at him while she attempted to hide her loudest reactions from him.

Never before did Shirou believe that Taiga had it in her to be bashful.

He wondered how many other expressions she could make, which in turn made him redouble his efforts all over again. It wasn't long before he felt the walls of Taiga's womanhood tighten around him, legs tensing down to her toes while her entire body shook from pleasure.

That didn't mean he was done. He knew that this was the moment when she was the most sensitive and rather than slowing down, he sped up further.

"..!"

An indiscernible noise came out of Taiga's mouth through the pillow, while her eyes fluttered and slightly rolled back. She dug her nails into the pillow turned gag and Shirou feared she would tear it apart with her bare hands.

In fact he was so focused he barely acknowledged the prompt that flashed before his eyes.

[Sexual Interactions has reached lv. 25]

Yeah, that was nice and all, but in that moment he had only eyes for Taiga, whose body shook in renewed bliss as another orgasm hit her and then another one.

"Shi... Shirouuuu," she mewled languidly, removing the pillow from her face. "I'm going crazyyyy."

Far from it being a reason for him to stop, Shirou flipped her around his cock so that her butt was turned to him and resumed hammering in a way that only someone who didn't know fatigue could.

Although he could no longer see her face, Taiga's eyes went crossed as any form of intellect was veritably being pounded out of her.

Even though he was her first, Taiga knew that she was probably getting it harder and better than from anyone else.

Shirou's staying power far surpassed that of even her battery-powered toys, not to mention his technique. He seemed to hit her sweet spot with surgical precision every single time, being rough and gentle exactly the way she liked it.

It was unfair. She would never be able to fully reciprocate him. Perhaps it was precisely this pleasure fueled guilt that pushed Saeko to share him.

Taiga did not like the arrangement, but because she was enjoying what brought it forth in the first place, she had no room to complain. She wouldn't get in the way of Shirou's other relationships, but unlike Saeko she wouldn't promote them either.

She was selfish that way. If possible, she'd want Shirou all to herself.

Of course, those were the thoughts she had at different times. At present, thinking was beyond her capabilities, because her brain had turned to mush. Fortunately, her face was buried in the mattress, concealing the delirious and borderline stupid expression she was making.

If being fucked silly was an actual thing, that was it.

At some point, during the endless sequence of orgasms forced upon her, Shirou reached his own climax and flooded her womb with his semen, sparking a new height of white hot pleasure for the helpless woman.

Only a few moments after he had finished marking her innermost place as his own, did Shirou pull out from her. Taiga's butt slumped sideways, while Shirou's cum leaked from her thoroughly fucked pussy. Her body was still twitching in pleasure and it seemed that it would take her a little while to recover.

"Taiga, are you alright?" he asked.

"Yyyyeesshhh," she slurred out. "Gooohnna taaahke a miiihnuteee. Loooohvee yoooh!"

"Yeah, I love you too," he told her sweetly, hugging her from behind.

Taiga's heart and body were thus overflowing with love.

[br]

An indefinite amount of time later, Taiga managed to recover enough of her wits and control of her body to turn around to face her lover.

The two of them laid together in each other's arms, basking in the other's presence.

"I don't want you to go," she said with her face nuzzled into his hair.

"Fuji-nee," he warned.

"Not without me," she added.

"Taiga, the place where I'm going is not somewhere you can follow, yet."

"But that woman can?" she asked, challengingly.

"I need Mikado-san's skill set. I would do it without her if I could, but I can't."

Taiga let out a long drawn sigh.

"Make a promise, then. No matter what happens, come back to me."

"I had no intention to do otherwise anyway," he replied, frowning.

"I don't care about that. Promise you'll come back."

Shirou districated his head from Taiga's arms (and breasts) to look at her face. His surrogate sister's expression was one of unadulterated worry, but also one of utmost resolve. He knew he wouldn't get out of there without giving in, unless he physically fought her.

"I promise I will always return to you," he told her.

Taiga nodded stiffly and placed a kiss on top of his head before burying his face back in her bosom.

Honestly, if someone thought that being in a relationships with a woman was so lacking in drawbacks to the point that they wished for more than one, they didn't know the first thing about relationships at all.

Still, as far as Shirou was concerned, it was worth the price.

[br]

Outside of their room, on top of a building overlooking the window next to the bed upon which the two lovers had their passionate meeting, a young female figure sat with her legs dangling over the edge. Her hands were buried in her crotch, playing with the wet folds of womanhood while she enjoyed the show being displayed unbeknownst to its actors.

Biting her lower lip, Lilith let out a soft moan of equal pleasure and frustration.

The scene she had just witnessed was both extremely lewd and beautiful. The way Shirou had fucked his sister, lovingly but ruthlessly had lit a fire within her. However, because of her own nature, her slender fingers did not suffice to quell it.

Unfortunately, it was far too early for her to pick that fruit. Shirou had potential, but he had yet to pass all the trials. Lilith's beloved sister would be quite upset if she snatched it before it was sufficiently ripe.

But…

A little taste wouldn't really hurt anyone, right?

She was supposed to be an impartial watcher, but she was never like that. Her sister knew that, yet she gave Lilith that task all the same.

She should have known better, right?

The only way to handle temptation is giving in to it, after all, and temptation was in their very nature, down to their core. She'd probably get punished for it, but knowing her sister and knowing herself, she would probably enjoy it as well.

Furthermore… things would be awfully boring if everything went according to plan, right?

[br]

In another part of the Reverse Side, two women were facing each other. The dark skinned one, Yoruichi, was standing up straight with a sharp look on her face. The other one, Saeko, was instead on one knee, breathing raggedly from exertion.

"This technique… is quite… difficult,"she said between gasps of breath.

"So it is. Yet it suits you. The Busujima style is heavily reliant on high speed movements. My shunpo is several orders of magnitude above that, but you already possess the foundation. I think you should be able to master it in just a couple of decades."

"That time… I can't wait that long,"she replied, standing up to her feet and grasping her sword with both hands. "He'll get ever farther away."

"This is all for him, isn't it?" Yoruichi asked rhetorically. "Is he really worth pushing yourself this much?"

"You are mistaken… What I do is entirely for myself. I am but a selfish woman who's not willing to let go of the things she wants."

"Is that so?"Yoruichi grinned. "Then maybe you and I have more things in common than I thought. Very well, if you are that stubborn, let's go through with this. It will either make you or break you."

"I'm ready for anything," Saeko declared.

"Oh, sweet cheeks. You really are not."

Yoruichi brought a hand up to her face, concealing it from view. Up above them, clouds started gathering and thunders started rumbling. Saeko looked up at the strange phenomenon, and when she looked back down there was a substantial difference in her training partner.

"As I thought…. you really are the worst."

Then there was no longer room for words, for every breath was spent fighting for her life.

[br]

[You've slept in a bed.]
[HP, MP and ST completely restored.]

When Shirou opened his eyes, he was still in the same room as before. Apparently, he had dozed off in Taiga's arms, who was sound asleep.

However, something had woken him up. He didn't know what, but something did.

A sound? No, that wasn't it. A smell, yes. A familiar smell that he couldn't quite place. A sweet scent that called out to him.

That was odd. The apartment was sealed shut through apposite Boundary Fields, and the scents inside the room were a mixture of sweat and sex. So where did this foreign smell come from?

Slowly, without waking her up, Shirou freed himself from Taiga's arms. He put back on his clothes and with silent steps he approached the door and slowly opened it. The apartment, bathed in the perpetual moonlight of the Reverse Side, looked completely undisturbed, but the scent had gotten stronger.

He carefully checked out every place until he got to the living room. Everything appeared to be in order, but the scent was at its strongest here. Only… because of the way the furniture was distributed, there was an armchair with its back turned to him. If someone was sitting there, he wouldn't he able to see them.

Using all the grace he was capable of through his overlapping mastery of different martial arts, Shirou approached silently and in that very moment the floor squeaked loudly.

"Fuh uh uh! You should already know that with your charisma, sneaking around is beyond you," said the unseen person sitting on the armchair.

"Who…?"

But before Shirou could even finish that question, the intruder stood up and showed herself.

"Hello, Shirou."

"Lilith!" said Shirou in obvious surprise.

"In the flesh," the girl laughed. "Did you remember me, or did you just read my name again?"

"What? How do you know about that? How did you get past my Boundary Field."

"Shirou, Shirou, Shirou," Lilith chided. "Your eyes are certainly unique, but you are not the only person in the world who can see things others don't."

"You… have Mystic Eyes too?" he asked.

"Maaaaybe," she teased.

"Right!" he snorted. Since when did he get a straight answer out of anyone, anyway? "What did you come here for, then? I don't suppose this is a social call. You saved my life back then, but you need to know that-"

"If I hurt your girlfriend, there will be hell to pay? You are so sweet. Oh, no. I'm not teasing you. I really mean that. And you shouldn't worry. I have no intention of hurting you or anybody else for that matter. I don't really like hurting anyone."

"... but you are really good at it?" he asked, causing her to giggle.

"Why, yes. That's quite an accurate way to put it. I think we could say the very same about you, right?"

"Eh. I suppose we can," he admitted, begrudgingly. "You haven't answered my question yet."

"Right, how silly of me. You are leaving for Megijima soon, right?"

"Why do you ask questions to which you so clearly already have the answer?"

"Entertainment, mostly," she replied, shamelessly. "Aren't I just lovely?"

"The judgment is still pending," said Shirou crossing his arms, though a traitorous smile tugged at his lips. "Look, do you want some tea?"

"Huh? Sure, I would love some. What brought this up though?"

"Well, a temporary camp is the closest thing to a home there is, right. I say that makes me the host and you the guest. Least I can do is show some hospitality."

"I like the way you think, Shirou. Do you also have cookies?"

"Can't you see inside of my Inventory?"

"Maybe I can't, or maybe that's just another question I already know the answer to."

"Smartass," he grumbled, but still pulled out a box of cookies from his bottomless bag of holdings.

[br]

Moments later, tea was being served, with the two of them sitting at opposite sides of the coffee table.

"Hmm. Smells delicious," she said before taking a sip. "And tastes even better."

"Thank you," said Shirou. "So, back to business. What can I do for you?"

"Like I said, you're going to Megijima. I have a small favor to ask you, then."

"A favor. Coming from a mysterious person like you, I don't think it's going to be something simple."

"Actually, as far as task go, it's very straightforward. I just need you to return a stolen item to its rightful possessor," Lilith explained, bringing out a small, paper-wrapped package.

Shirou took it with both hands and carefully unwrapped it.

[Mysterious Sake Cup]
[Description: An old sake cup. Nothing else is known]

"You want me to… return this? What's so special about a sake cup that someone would bother stealing it and someone else would bother returning it?"

"That's a secret, but make no mistake. This is a trial I'm thrusting upon you. "

"A trial? What happens if I fail?" he asked. "What if I refuse to do it at all?"

"Oh. Nothing much. In fact, the only certain consequence is that you'll never see me again and that the world will keep on going as if our meeting never happened."

"You can't expect that to convince me to go through with this," he told her.

"It never as much crossed my mind. This has to be your choice, from start to finish."

"I don't understand… What is the point of this? Entertainment, again?"

"To make people smile," said Lilith, as it explained it all.

"How would doing something like this help anyone?"

"That, is something I can't really say. Just… all that my sister and I want is for people to be happy."

Shirou stared at Lilith long and hard, wondering if she had said those words because they were the truth, or because she knew it was something he wanted to hear.

But she had saved his life, so at the very least he didn't think she was trying to harm him. Unlike Mikado, who had threatened his loved ones, Lilith had done nothing to coerce him into doing anything.

And that made all the difference in the world for Emiya Shirou.

[Lilith's task (I)]
[Description: Return the Mysterious Sake Cup to its owner on the island of Megijima]
[Reward for Success: 15.000 EXP, ?]
[Consequence for Failure: None]
[Accept?]
[Y][N]

He selected yes, and the Quest was thus accepted.

"Thank you," Lilith said with a smile. "I knew you wouldn't let me down."

"Yeah… you seem to know an awful lot about me that you aren't supposed to," he grumbled. "Will you ever tell me who you really are?"

"One day, I will make everything clear. You don't need to worry about that."

"Anyway, who am I supposed to return this thing to?" he asked.

"Oh, don't worry about that. Some things are governed by fate. That cup will find its way back to its owner so long as you bring it with you."

"That sounds… sketchy," he told her in all honesty.

"I know, but telling you everything beforehand defies the purpose of sending you. By the way, your sister is about to wake up. I better get going so that you won't have to explain stuff you wouldn't know where to start from."

"That would be best, yes," he agreed.

Lilith stood up and Shirou escorted her to the door. Even though she could seemingly get through his Boundary Fields like they weren't even there, as the host it was the right thing to do. Besides he would be leaving soon as well, so he could very well take them down while he was at it.

"You know, I feel like I'm going to regret this," he told her once she was past the threshold of the apartment.

"At some point, you probably will," she replied.

"I guess that makes me a fool then," he said, ruefully.

"Oh, Shirou. The world could use a few more fool like you. Trust me on that. However, if it makes you feel better, I can give you something that will help you, so long as you keep it a secret."

"What's that?" he asked.

"Close your eyes."

Shirou frowned, but did as she asked all the same. He was trusting her with a lot more than being around her with his eyes closed.

A moment later, he felt her hand on his face, followed soon after by her lips upon his.

[Lilith's Blessing acquired]
[Description: Increases the rate of advancement of all sexual skills by 100% and the rate of semen production by 500%. ST cost of all skills is reduced by 50%, but sex with a partner is required at least once a day, otherwise all actions cost 200% more ST]

Shirou's eyes flew open, but before he could pull away from her he felt a jolt of energy go through his body.

His mind went completely blank.

Every single nerve was lit by pure, electric pleasure. His dick went hard as rock in a tenth of a second and he was jizzing into his pants even before that. Again and again he climaxed like a machine gun. His cock stretched his trouser as it swelled to an extent it never had before and his balls already benefiting from Lilith's blessing unloaded a gallon of cum right into his underwear.

"Hmm, that will do," said Lilith. licking her lips as she pulled away from Shirou, who slumped to his knees in a semi-comatose state. "You are every bit as delicious as I thought you'd be. I trust you will come to appreciate my gift soon enough. Remember, don't tell anyone and especially not my sister."

"Hmrgh!" agreed Shirou, who for the first time truly understood how his girlfriends felt when suffering consecutive orgasms at his hands.

"I gotta go now. Take care of yourself. I'll see you once you return home. Bye bye."

"Buueee," he saluted, still mostly stunned.

Lilith giggled and kissed him on the head, causing him to cum one more time before slumping to the side, down for the count.

When he recovered, a few minutes later, Lilith was long gone and Shirou was left with a new passive skill, that although it was called a blessing, was much closer to a curse.

He couldn't begin to understand what he had experienced. All he knew was that he had to get changed before Taiga woke up, otherwise he would have some pretty embarrassing story to tell.

To make things worse, he would be leaving for Megijima the next day. How was he supposed to deal with this thing now?

He had no choice but to wing it, somehow.
