DxD: Weaving Threads 1.5

I arrive in a room near the back of the mansion and look around.

This room is my own personal alchemy lab. To be honest, there's not much here. I told Serafall that I'd supply the equipment I need, not wanting to give her any hints on how my potions are made. Though the truth is more like I don't need much.

The room itself is simple. No windows and a thick heavy door. The walls are plain and unadorned wood, and the floor is concrete. There are a few cupboards and tables along the walls, but there's plenty of space in the center. Which is good, I need it for the other form of [Alchemy], the one I plan on doing now.

Taking out some chalk, I draw the magic circle I need for item combination on the ground, once again choosing the variant to add the attributes of four objects to a focus. This is something I've been working towards for a while now, and I could have done it before the Rating Game with Riser, but it would have been overkill. Besides, I ran out of time to make stuff.

Circle complete, I pull the ingredients I plan on using out of my inventory and place them in the appropriate spots. In the center, I place my Hestia knife, as I want that to be the core of the new item. It's a good knife that only gets better, but it's time for an upgrade.

In the circles around it, I place the other items. First is the void plate, to make it strong and connected to the Void. I would have used it in my armor, but there wasn't enough for decent coverage, so I'll have to settle for using it to reinforce my weapon.

Second is the Hive Crystal. The power and connection to the Dark would only make it stronger. Opposite to the Light that is part of my soul now, the Dark operated on something called the Sword Logic, and according to the Sword Logic, power is gained through killing. It's more complicated than that, but boiling it down to just 'killing equals strength' isn't wrong either.

The compatibility of the Sword Logic with the Hestia Knife's growth has so much potential I didn't use the Hive Crystal in my own racial transformation. Wielding both Light and Dark can be powerful, but I'd get more out of the Dark this way. Or so I believe.

Third is the pale ore from Hollow Knight. I'm not entirely sure what pale ore is. It's a metal, that's for certain, but the properties it holds are a mystery to me. But I can make some inferences. Describing it as 'pale' surely isn't a coincidence, which means that on some level it shares properties with the Pale King and the Pale Lady, both of whom are considered 'higher beings'. I don't believe they were truly gods, but maybe close to that?

More importantly, if I had to guess, I would say that Pale things in Hollow Knight are related to the Soul. That's partially based on coloration, which is a tenuous connection, but it also follows my gut. If the Radiance, the enemy, has her domain in Dreams, and the Void is the Void, then the missing piece between them could very well be Soul. Dreams above, Void below, and Soul in the middle.

At the end of the day it's a baseless guess, but it feels right to me. So I include the pale ore in the hopes it helps with using Soul through it, or collecting Soul faster.

Finally, I place Nidhogg in the last circle, stabbing it into the concrete within the circle. It slides easily in, showcasing its sharpness. I thought long and hard on whether or not to include this. But in the end, I settled on doing so.

Do I know the origins of this weapon? No, I don't, and that's the scariest thing about it. But I know that it's powerful. I know that if there's a possibility that the weapon can be tracked, my only options are getting rid of it, destroying it, or assimilating it. Using it as an [Alchemy] ingredient should be enough to make it untraceable.

And more importantly, it's an immortal killer. Possibly even a god killer. Combined with the Sword Logic and the power of Soul? It should make a weapon that can kill anything. Or at least, any being. Concepts and ideas and such are probably a bit above it. For now at least. I think the Dark can theoretically affect things on that level, but that'll require some experimentation.

Using it does prevent me from using it to track down its origins, but I don't have the skills for that right now, and I'm not entirely sure I want to track them down. So long as they don't come for me, I don't have any reason to find them. Except maybe to thank them for leaving the Orbiter for me to salvage.

Mind made up, I kneel in front of the circle, place my hand on one of the lines, and push my mana into it, starting the process. All of the ingredients turn into blobs of light that travel along the chalk lines of the circle towards the center, where they all meld into a singular blob, which reshapes itself. As the process finishes, and the light dims, my new weapon is revealed.

<Ouroboros>

<A short blade that embodies the concept of Killing. Punctures magical and physical defenses. Grows in strength alongside the user and after each kill. Replenishes more Soul per hit.>

[Observe] describes it as a 'short blade', but I'd call it a dagger. It looks like a long and straight-edged tanto. It has two edges and lacks a guard. I can tell it's designed to pierce defenses and stab into beings.

The entire thing is a slate gray. I suppose that makes sense, considering that most of the things that went into it were either white or black. The metal itself is strange. It doesn't look worked, like normal metal. It almost looks organic, but there are too many straight lines for that. It barely reflects any light at all though, lacking any sort of shine.

All in all, I'm pretty pleased. It's the perfect assassination tool, I can't ask for something better. Except for maybe something with range. But in terms of melee weapons, it's perfect.

I stash the weapon in my inventory and wipe away the remnants of the chalk circle. Now that that is done, I have the less fun alchemy to do, making the potions that I sold to Michael, Serafall, and Azazel. Still, it's important, and I need to get it done some time, especially with the Fallen arriving in a couple days.

My mind wanders as I go through the motions of making the potions. Right now, the biggest thing on my mind is the three factions that I'm making these potions for. Part of Serafall's grand scheme is to use me as a bridge between the factions to form official peace. In canon, I know a peace treaty was made, but that was only after Kokabiel attacked.

I suppose I could do the same thing. Kokabiels attack is still coming. It'll be different from his attack in canon I assume. Some aspects have already changed after all. But the gist of it should be the same. And including myself in that process would be easy. I'm already a neutral party that the factions are creating links to.

Is that the best way to go about it though? Maybe, maybe not. I'm pulled from thinking about other possible paths to follow by my phone going off. Putting my potion equipment down, I pull out my phone and see a text from Momo.

Momo: A suggestion for where to take Sona on Saturday ;)

It's followed by a link, and clicking on it leads me to a landing page for some indie movie festival. It seems like they'll be showing a few short movies from different promising indie directors. I guess Sona is into that sort of thing? I never would have guessed.

Axton: Thanks, babe. What would I do without you?

As I text her back, [Void Detect] picks up a familiar form creeping through my home. My interest is very piqued. I also notice Sakuya noticing her, but Wilhelm stops her from taking any action when she checks with him. Good job Wilhelm, I definitely want this one to play out.

I stash my equipment in my inventory. I was pretty much done anyway, and I don't want to give my visitor any hints on how my potions are made. Instead, I sit back and text with Momo a bit while I wait for them to find me. I expect it to take a while, due to my Void nature preventing people from detecting me, but to my surprise, she heads straight towards me after sending out a pulse of magic.

A minute later my door silently opens and closes behind me as my visitor slips in, and they creep towards me without making a single noise.

"Not that I mind you visiting, but I don't remember giving you my address," I say in a casual voice, not even turning around.

They stop moving for a moment, and I note that [Empathy] doesn't pick them up, nor do I sense any magic except through [Void Detect]. Truly, her stealth skills are impressive, but not good enough.

And then I do detect her, the feeling of her magic, her life force, and the sound of her body all appearing at once. She sighs. "And here I was, hoping for revenge for all those times you snuck up behind me," Kuroka mutters.

I turn my seat around to face her, my arms crossed smugly. "You'll have to try a little harder than that," I tell her.

She pouts in response. "Harder than suppressing every possible sign of my presence? That's not easy, you know. You sure do ask a lot."

I shrug, but I'm grinning as well. "I'm sure that if you really want to sneak up on me, you'll find a way." She just pouts further, but I see her tails flick in amusement. Huh. I don't think I would have picked up on that body language before my race change.

"So to what do I owe the pleasure," I ask her. "I certainly don't mind the company, or the eye candy, but I suspect you're not just here to hang out."

"Is that something you'd like?" she asks teasingly.

"Of course," I reply easily. "I'd love to have a pretty kitty such as yourself on my lap."

A confident smirk grows on her face, and she walks up to me, closing the distance between us. Without any hesitation, she wraps her arms around my neck and straddles my lap. Her already very short kimono rides up, revealing herself and her lack of panties. "Like this?" she asks, her tone husky.

I place my hands on her hips. "I was picturing fewer clothes in the way, but something like this yeah," I reply.

She makes a noise of amusement. "As fun as that sounds, you're right, I do have a reason for coming here."

She says that, but she also doesn't move. Not that I'm complaining. Her kimono is cut low, leaving her cleavage prominent, and due to her spread legs, her pussy is also on display. Eye candy is definitely the right word.

"And what reason is that?" I ask her, not bothering to hide the way I'm looking her over.

"Two reasons actually," she says. "The least important of which is you. I saw your fight against that Phenex brat. And I saw your form there."

"You mean this one?" I say as I reveal my Nekoshou features. I had them hidden to go to school and had honestly just forgotten to reveal them.

Her eyes widen and latch onto my ears and swaying tail, darting between them. "They're real," she says in wonder. "But...you're not a Nekomata, are you?"

"Only slightly," I say. "And yes, it happened after our last meeting. I decided that being just human was a little too limiting, so I...upgraded a bit. Nekoshou isn't the only new addition to my biology either."

"I saw the Devil wings," she comments. "Easy enough to guess where those came from."

I grin. "Devil wings?" I ask, causing her to pause. "I guess I can see why people would think that. But no, I have no amount of Devil in me."

Her eyes widen in realization. "Then those wings are- but where did you get a sample?" She shakes her head. "No wait, that's not what I came here to ask. I assume you needed a sample to make the change?" Her tone is still light, but I feel pressure coming from her. "Then where did you get the Nekoshou sample?"

Ah. "From Koneko," I start, and the pressure from her increases dramatically, and I feel her fingernails turn to claws and prick against the back of my neck. "A few strands of her fur, willingly given to me after I explained what I wanted it for."

The pressure mostly fades, but Kuroka is still glaring at me. I guess anything resembling experimentation involving her sister is a touchy subject. "You promise that was all?" Kuroka asks.

"No scans, no blood, no participation from her needed," I assure her. "Just a bit of fur from her tail that has probably already grown back that I dropped in a potion alongside some other ingredients. And like I said. I asked, explaining why I wanted it, and she agreed. I didn't pressure or even bargain with her."

Kuroka studies my face for a moment, trying to determine if I'm lying. But eventually, she relaxes. Her claws retract, the pressure fades completely, and she slumps a bit with a sigh. "Why did you want it anyway?"

"Mostly Senjutsu," I say. "I have a technique that empowers me similarly to Touki, but it interferes with my ability to cast other spells. I suspect a Senjutsu version wouldn't have that drawback. And Senjutsu is a useful skill overall. Besides," my tail flicks around between us. "It's not a half-bad look for me, is it?"

Thankfully she relaxed and has switched back to a flirtatious mood. "I might be a little biased, but I definitely agree," she purrs. "Still, while we're on the topic. Little Shirone is the second reason I came here."

"What did you think of her performance?" I ask, contemplating using my lewd skills on her. I'm getting pretty horny, having her on my lap like this, and I definitely wouldn't mind this little interaction going a bit further.

But I hold off. My lewd skills are subtle, but only when I use them against people who aren't very experienced in sex. Most of the time I can disguise an increase in arousal or a heightened sense of pleasure as natural reactions to me, which increases how much they think they're attracted to me, which makes them actually more attracted to me.

But someone like Kuroka? She's already so sensuous, and I'd be surprised if she's a virgin. She knows what arousal is and what arouses her. She'd easily be able to pick out abnormal reactions. And since she's also a pervert skilled at magic, no doubt she'd immediately suspect me of using magic like that on her.

Besides, as flirtatious as she's acting, there's still a wall there inside of her. A wall of hesitance and unease. I suspect the show I'm getting right now was just to get me to lower my guard, so she could have made a move if she didn't like the answer I gave her about how I became part Nekoshou.

Which isn't to say that it's all an act. There's some very real arousal there, and it spiked when I revealed my Nekoshou features. But unfortunately, I don't think I can capitalize on that now, not while she still has that fear of me. It's decreased a bit since the last time we met, possibly because she's more in control like this, but it's still there.

"As you said, she didn't play a key role, but she certainly did get a shot at showing off," Kuroka says. "The Bomb Queen's attacks are potent, I'm impressed she was able to mostly shake it off, even as a Rook."

"As appealing as the jack of all trades route is, I decided to focus on her Rook features during her training," I reply. "Mostly her defense. Rias's Peerage is heavy on offensive members. A more defensive role fit both her and the team as a whole better."

"I'd prefer a more balanced approach, but I suppose you had to consider the team as a whole," Kuroka replies. "That being said…" she trails off, and I can feel some nervousness from her.

"Meeting Koneko, huh?" I ask, and Kuroka nods. "I think you should go for it. I think it might be hard at first, but in the long term, the sooner it happens, the sooner you can reconcile."

"You think she'll be angry?" Kuroka asks, her voice lacking the energy it did before.

"I honestly have no idea," I say truthfully. "It's a messy situation and Koneko is hard to read. But if you want, I can arrange a meeting here, and I can be there to help keep things calm."

She looks at me. "And whose side would you be on?"

I tilt my head in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"If things go poorly, and you can only support one of us, who do you choose?" she asks, tone serious.

"I don't know where this is coming from," I say as I think. "And honestly, I'm having trouble imagining a scenario like that. But if I had to choose…" I trail off before nodding. I look Kuroka straight in the eyes. "I'd choose Koneko."

<+8 Affection with Kuroka>

She smiles at me. "Good," she says before climbing off me. I try to ignore my disappointment as she gets up. "In that case, I'll take you up on that offer. I'll tell you when I'm ready, there are things I need to take care of soon."

"You're welcome to stop by whenever you want," I tell her. "And I have plenty of rooms if you need a place to crash."

"I'll keep that in mind," she says. "It's a pretty nice place." I see her disappear before my eyes, but it's still easy to pinpoint her with [Void Detect].

"You don't have to sneak out you know," I say amused. She flicks her tails at me in acknowledgment, but she slips out of the room still invisible, and I shake my head. Who am I to tell a person they can't sneak around?

I pull my alchemy stuff back out. Just a few more potions to finish, and then Asia and I can have dinner. And maybe I'll be able to rope her and Kyu into having some fun before bed.

I get back to work, my energy restored now that I have something to look forward to.

Sakuya Izayoi was still unsure exactly how she felt about her new Master. Her introduction to him had been brief, but the impression she got was that he was simply busy. This wasn't unreasonable for someone who had cause to summon her as a maid.

Not that she had much experience in being summoned like this. She had seen a lot of strange things, been to many strange places, and had served several very different masters in her time. While this wasn't the strangest circumstances she had found herself in, it was unique in its own way.

Still, she wasn't worried. She hadn't even served him for a whole day yet, and it seems he was new to being a Master. The Head Butler, Wilhelm van Astrea, was a capable man, and very loyal. If Axton-sama could inspire that kind of loyalty with a man like Wilhelm, then he was probably a decent man himself.

She wondered what he was though. He certainly wasn't human. When she asked Wilhelm, he admitted to not being sure. Wilhelm-san knew that Axton-sama started out human, but changed himself through experiments with magical potions. But he didn't know exactly what changes Axton-sama had made.

Still, that was enough to satisfy her curiosity. It wouldn't be the first time she had met someone like that. And speaking of her new Master, it was about time to wake him up. Breakfast was mostly prepared and was being kept warm, and it was nearly the time she was instructed to wake him up. Good. With a nod of satisfaction, she swiftly walked towards Axton-sama's bedroom.

All things considered, it wasn't too far of a trip. Axton-sama's estate was moderately large, but it was well designed, and the dining quarters she had prepared breakfast in were located close to the bedrooms. It only took her a minute to reach the door to the master bedroom.

She knocked on the door, loud enough to hopefully wake him, but not so loud it would jolt him awake. "Axton-sama, it is time to wake up," she called through the closed door. She waited for a reply or the sound of shuffling sheets. Neither came. It appeared that her new Master is a heavy sleeper. She knocked harder and repeated her call. Nothing.

No matter. She opened the door instead and entered the bedroom. If knocking won't do, then she'd simply take more direct action. Or so she thought, but she stopped in surprise as soon as the bed came into sight.

On it was Axton-sama, but he wasn't alone. Asia-dono was curled up into his side, and on his other side was the pink-haired fairy Axton-sama had told her about. And all three of them were naked and covered in bodily fluids.

Sakuya felt a surge of heat in her core as she looked at them. She was no blushing virgin, she had lived a long life and had several lovers in that time. Though admittedly, it had been a very long time since her last one. She usually didn't have much of an interest in that sort of thing.

But the sight of her new Master, his rather large endowment, and the clear signs of his two lovers' enjoyment clearly marked all over their bodies...and dripping out of their holes, sent a rush of heat through her unlike any she had felt in a long long time.

But she was a professional, so she schooled her expression and made sure not to outwardly react. "Axton-sama, it is time to wake up."

Finally, he stirred, opening his eyes and looking at her. His golden eyes lock with her briefly, and she swears she sees a glint of amusement in his eyes. "Good morning Sakuya," he greets her with a yawn. The girls start to stir, getting up as well. "Thanks for the wake-up call, we'll be down for breakfast in just a couple minutes," Axton-sama continues. "We need to...clean up a bit first."

Indeed they did. "Very well. I'll lay breakfast out on the table for you," she said with a curtsy. She quickly turned around and left the room, closing the door behind her.

She didn't let herself sigh. Wilhelm-san hadn't told her the specifics of what Axton-sama could do, but he did say his senses were extraordinary. She had noticed the cat ears and tail, even as distracted as she was by...other aspects of him. Some sort of Youkai blood perhaps? He did have that Youkai visitor last night that snuck in.

However, she did allow herself to relax a bit as she headed back to the dining quarters. She had a better idea of what kind of person her new Master was now. At least the girls seemed more than happy to be with him, and unless Asia-dono was an exception, they seemed to be with him out of genuine care, and not for some more shallow or sinister reason.

So her Master had multiple lovers, prodigious stamina, and was a little mischievous. She wondered if he was actually asleep or if she had been baited inside. It's possible his amusement was a reaction to the situation, rather than satisfaction at a prank.

Either way, she didn't mind too much. There were worse qualities to have in a Master, and so long as he did not attempt to pressure or force her into anything, she did not mind putting up with a bit of indecent exposure.

Her mind flashed back to the sight of his naked body. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to indulge a little bit, it had been so long, and he was-

She shook her head, clearing those thoughts. No, that wouldn't do, it would be unbecoming of her.

Though a thought occurred to her as she laid out breakfast for three on the table. She was going to have to wash his bedsheets every single day, wasn't she?

<+7 Affection with Sakuya Izayoi>

And there it is. I grin as I rub a sponge over Asia's back in the shower. It seems she appreciated the show after all. I guess she just had to mull over it a bit, let it settle in.

Of course, I had helped out a little bit. Her first knock had woken me up, but I had wanted her to come in and see, so I muffled the sound of it so it wouldn't wake Kyu or Asia up and pretended to still be asleep, forcing her to come inside. And when she did so, I hit her with [Erotic Pierrot], which had upgraded at level 50, changing the line of sight requirement to just needing to be within a certain range of them.

Was using [Erotic Pierrot] on her a risky plan? Absolutely. But it was a calculated risk. I didn't know enough about her to say for certain how she'd react to her arousal suddenly being enflamed, but my gut said it would be fine, and I trusted my gut. Besides, in the case where she realized that I was manipulating her arousal, I trusted in her professionalism. She would either silently bear it, though grow annoyed or even angry, and I'd pick up on that with [Empathy] and would immediately stop. Or she would politely ask me to stop.

Both options still soured my relationship with her right off the bat, but it was something I could recover from given time. So all in all, the risks weren't too bad. And in the end, it looks like it paid off.

I'm not entirely sure how to handle getting Sakuya in my bed. I don't know enough about her, but it's clear that she holds herself up to being an outstanding maid, and has certain standards and rules for that. Just asking her to service me right off the bat will likely go poorly.

So I just went with my default plan. Make her horny for me. Given enough time and the right manipulation, it'll be enough. I'm not in a rush either, I have plenty of girls to sleep with. Don't get me wrong, I really want to see the better version of Grayfia between my legs. But she's also the most powerful, and potentially one of the oldest, girls I've targeted yet. And that means taking my time is the best plan.

Still, I'm proud of the scene she walked in on. Last night, I barely had to bring up the subject of spending some quality time with both Kyu and Asia before they jumped at the chance. I guess it shouldn't have been surprising. Yesterday morning Asia invited Kyu to join next time, and Kyu is Kyu. A threesome with a cute nun? No way she was gonna pass that chance up.

So we 'turned in' early and the two girls drained me dry once again. What did surprise me was how attentive Asia was to Kyu whenever I was focusing on her. [Lewd Scouter] still shows Asia as straight, but that didn't stop her from kissing, groping, and caressing Kyu whenever I had my dick inside of her, maximizing the pleasure Kyu felt. Kyu happily returned the favor, but that wasn't a surprise at all.

Still, it was a good night, and unlike most of my harem, both of them lived with me, so I can experience the same thing every night. As the three of us finish washing each other, I can't help but smile. Because damn it feels good to be a Gamer.

-x-

I have pretty mixed feelings about going through this school life. On one hand, I get to spend all day with my girls in their cute uniforms, but on the other, it's still school. Laughably easy school due to my INT, but still school. Classes are boring, so I usually spend them pretending to pay attention while I practice some of my skills.

My detection skills are the big ones. [Sound Domain] lets me eavesdrop on the whole school. To be honest, I don't hear anything particularly interesting. But focusing on specific conversations and tweaking things here and there make for great practice with the skill. I've also started making noises in empty classrooms when people walk by them, curious if I could get rumors of a ghost started.

[Void Detect] is also something I use to check out the school. Its range is a little bigger than [Sound Domain], so I pick up more stuff. And visual information is a lot more interesting than just the sounds, especially when I discover that Kyu was right. Students sneaking away to do the dirty deed in stairwells and closets happens a couple times a day. If I didn't already have plans for lunch, I'd do the same.

[Void Sight] received a massive increase in range after my race change. Or more specifically, after my trait upgraded from Void Touched to Void Blessed. My range now covered the entire planet. I could peer over the streets of New York City while sitting in class. Mostly I just used it to look at a bunch of places so I could teleport to them in the future. I was still only about halfway through the list of major cities I had made. I had to use a daisy chain of [Void Sight] uses to find new places, and it made the process a little slow. But it's good XP.

In addition to those skills, I also practice manipulating my Soul. I had asked Kyu out of annoyance earlier about why the Game System doesn't keep better track of that, and she told me it did. Apparently, my total level, which is currently 321, corresponds directly with the strength of my Soul. The reason the System doesn't quantify it beyond that is apparently it's tricky to do so. Mostly because of the way the System is attached to my soul and how it interacts with it.

According to her, the Love Fairies who are in charge of developing this System marked it as a low priority, due to the time and effort it would take to properly quantify it and how rarely it came up for most people using the System.

Which meant no proper skills, no bar to tell me how much Soul Power or Soul Points or whatever I have left. Just a level that corresponded to the strength of my Soul in a way that I didn't fully understand, and whatever I could determine with my own senses, the old-fashioned way.

So I spent a lot of class doing that. I meditate on my Soul, and I even practice manipulating it, creating simple shapes in my hand. It isn't easy. Amorphous blobs of power? That's not too hard. I can fairly easily shoot a bubble of Soul out that hits about as hard as a punch.

But making solid objects? I feel like I'm hitting my head against a wall, metaphorically speaking. I know it's possible, the Pure Vessel version of the Hollow Knight had several attacks where he launched spears of Soul at the player. But it seems like it's definitely a more advanced skill than I previously thought.

It's also worth noting that my soul creations are black, instead of white. This is probably due to the Shade Soul trait adding the Void to my Soul.

Practice like that keeps me busy during classes and makes it so I'm not just wasting time in them. But there is one class I do pay attention to, and that's Japanese. Because I haven't forgotten about my desire to bang Ms. Nakano, and today's the day I make it happen.

When lunch arrives, I make excuses with the girls, telling them I have something to take care of, and I leave the classroom. I head straight for the teacher's room, where all the teachers have their desks and take care of work. Once I'm invited in, I find Ms. Nakano and approach her.

Ms. Nakano might just be one of the hottest teachers I've ever seen. She's wearing a large white coat, a very short and tight black shirt, and black stockings. Her grayish-blue hair is pulled back in a loose ponytail, and her glasses give her gaze a fierce look. It's amazing how many of my fetishes she ticks off.

"Axton!" she greets me. "What do you need?" Her emotions are all over the place. Curiosity, nervousness, and even arousal. I don't even have to use [Erotic Pierrot] on her, she's just conditioned to get aroused whenever she sees me now. That's not going to stop me from using it to increase her arousal even more though.

"Well, I was out last week, as you probably noticed," I say, making sure to act extra innocent. "And I was able to make up most of that work easily enough, but I'm having a bit of trouble when it comes to written Japanese. I've never been very good at it, and I was hoping you could help me. Maybe after school? Or whenever you have time?"

I've been preparing for this ploy for a while now, deliberately sandbagging when it comes to written Japanese tests and work. I haven't done poorly on them, only mediocre compared to my near-perfect scores in other subjects, which aren't perfect solely so I don't draw attention to myself. I want to craft an image of an intelligent student with a weakness due to my American birth.

"That's very admirable," she replies. The conflicting feelings inside of her get stronger. She's aware of how she reacts to me and is torn between wanting to give in and knowing she shouldn't. A small nudge with [Erotic Pierrot] is enough to make her arousal come out on top though, and she looks up at me with a smile. "In fact, if you'd like, we could get started right now, before class, and then continue after class. I'd be glad to help."

I beam at her. "That sounds perfect," I tell her as I draw up a seat next to her. My knee 'accidentally' bumps against hers, and [Increase Sensitivity] is there to make her far more aware of it. She tenses as I sit next to her, but forces herself to relax.

"So Axton, what is it you are having trouble with?" she asks, voice not giving anything away. Her self-control is better than I expected, but that only makes it more fun.

The two of us spend the rest of lunch going over the materials I pretend not to understand. And the entire time, I relentlessly do everything I can to increase her arousal. [Erotic Pierrot] is active the entire time. And I also have [Touch of Pleasure] active on myself and [Increase Sensitivity] active on her, and I frequently continue to accidentally brush against her whenever I think I can get away with it.

She holds on pretty well though. Part of it is that we're surrounded by other teachers. There's practically nothing she can do to respond. But still, she does a better job hiding her arousal than I expected. Her face barely reddens, and her breathing only grows slightly heavier. [Void Detect] notes that her panties are definitely damp though, and she does squirm a little. More importantly, she starts brushing up against me as well. At one point she even grabs my hand and guides it. The initiative she's showing is extremely promising.

As lunch draws to the end, I check her out with [Lewd Scouter].

That affection is still pretty low. But her arousal is high enough to make up for it. Probably. I should try to get it up a little bit anyway.

I stand up and grab my stuff. "Thanks a lot, Ms. Nakano," I tell her. "I really appreciate the help. The way you explain things makes a lot of sense, and I couldn't do it without you. You really are a great teacher."

She blushes slightly. It seems actual compliments are more likely to make her blush than extreme arousal. And it really spiked up her Affection. Maybe because of the arousal? I'll keep that in mind. "Thank you, Axton," she responds. "You're an excellent student, and I'm glad to help you. That's what I'm here for after all."

"I look forward to our study session after school," I tell her with a small bow. "I'll see you in class, Ms. Nakano."

"See you then Axton," she replies with a smile. [Empathy] tells me that her nervousness has gone down a lot, and it's been replaced by anticipation. Has she made a decision? I hope so.

Japanese class after that is interesting. Ms. Nakano's arousal hasn't gone down at all. In fact, it increases slowly throughout the lesson. Especially whenever she looks in my direction. It's subtle, and I don't think even Aika has picked up on it, but since I know what to look for, I can see the signs. She's picking at her skirt a little more often than normal, she's pressing her thighs together when she walks, and her voice is just a little more breathy.

At one point she calls me to the front of the classroom to write something on the board. It's actually one of the things we went over during lunch, so I don't have to pretend to not know it or to make a slight mistake. When I get it right, she praises me and pats me on the shoulder, her hand lingering just a second longer than it strictly should have.

When I get back to my seat, Aika is grinning at me. I guess that was unsubtle enough for her to pick up on. She's pretty observant when it comes to things like this, and she knows what I'm like. I grin back and give her a wink, confirming her thoughts, and Aika has to hold back a laugh.

Class ends without anything else happening though, and I suffer through the final class of the day, unable to focus on training my skills as I think about what's going to happen after school. The downside of riling up Ms. Nakano is that I ended up getting myself excited as well.

When classes end, I make my excuses about having more business to take care of and ask Asia to let Sona know I wouldn't be in today. She's a little nervous about going by herself, but she agrees. Aika shoots me a knowing look and a wink as we separate, and I head straight for the teacher's room.

Ms. Nakano meets me at the door. "Axton, you're right on time!" she says cheerily. The signs of her arousal are starting to become a bit more obvious now. Her breathing is heavier, and she's squirming a little. "Come with me, we'll find it easier to focus in an empty classroom free of distractions," she says, leading me away.

"That's a good idea," I agree with her, grinning behind her back. Once again I stoke her arousal with [Erotic Pierrot], but to be honest, her arousal can't get much higher, not at my skill level at least. Her panties are already soaked from spending half the day so aroused, and the evidence is starting to run down her thigh.

She leads me to a classroom in the more remote part of the building, far away from the clubs and the other highly trafficked areas. She's definitely made a decision, or at least is really hoping for a certain outcome. And I'd hate to disappoint her.

As I go to sit down at one of the desks, she stops and takes off her jacket, revealing a white blouse underneath it. It's tight across her chest, which is moderately sized by DxD standards. "You don't mind if I take my jacket off, do you?" she asks. "It's starting to get a little warm."

"I don't mind," I say, 'clumsily' sneaking a look at her boobs, something she doesn't miss. She smiles at me in a friendly way, but already the walls of her self-restraint are starting to come down, and there's hunger in that smile.

We go back to the same thing we were doing during lunch, but now she's much more handsy. Her hands are often on my shoulders as she leans over my back, her boobs pushing against me, as she points out things in the textbook. All in all, it's obvious she's moved to trying to seduce me. So I let it happen.

As she sits down on top of the desk next to me, crossing and uncrossing her legs and flashing me each time, showing off her lacy black panties, I let myself get an obvious boner. A bulge appears in my pants as I harden, and I can feel her arousal spike when she notices it.

"Are you having a little trouble focusing, Axton?" she asks, gaze lingering on my crotch.

"I am a little distracted, yes," I admit, eyes flicking between her legs and her boobs.

"And what is it that has you so preoccupied?" She asks coyly. "You're the one that wanted this little session, didn't you?"

I'm pretty sure I can afford to be a little forward here. "Being alone with such a beautiful woman has my head filled with all sorts of fantasies," I say with a bit of confidence.

<+8 Affection with Mio Nakano>

"Is that so?" she replies in a pleased voice. She gets up and walks behind me. I feel her hands once again on my shoulders, but she moves them forwards, traveling down my chest, feeling my body through my clothes. They don't stop until her hand curls around the bulge in my pants, sending a shiver through me. Her boobs are pressed against the back of my neck, and her mouth is right next to my ear. "Well, we can't have you distracted, now can we?" she whispers sensually into my ear as she tightens her grip around me.

I release a shaky breath of pleasure. "It is interfering with my learning," I agree.

She starts rubbing along the length of erection, only making me harder, and making my pants painfully tight. "As your teacher, it's my job to make sure your environment is conducive to learning," she says, her warm breath tickling my ear. "Why don't I help you out with your little- or not so little in this case- distraction?"

I swallow. "I would like that a lot, Ms. Nakano."

Keeping one hand on my crotch, she repositions herself to my side. Understanding what she's going for I turn as well, and we're left in a position where she's kneeling on the ground in front of me, undoing my pants. She looks directly into my eyes. "During this, you can call me Mio," she says. Immediately after, she pulls down my pants enough to cause my erection to spring upwards, revealing my rock hard ten inches, and her eyes lock on it.

I see her swallow, equal parts aroused and nervous. "I'm going to need more than just my hands for this," she comments. Her hands go to her collar, and I watch with hungry eyes as she starts unbuttoning her blouse, revealing her smooth pale skin, and her lacy black bra that matches her panties.

She removes her shirt entirely, and she doesn't stop there. Her arms reach behind her back and unclasp her bra, which drops to reveal a pair of perky breasts tipped by hardened nipples. She gives me a sultry smile. "You don't have to stare so hard you know," she says, though her tone is teasing. "I know you're not a virgin, I remember what I saw you and Kiryuu doing in class that day."

"Just because I've seen other tits doesn't mean I don't appreciate a beautiful set of them when they're right in front of me," I reply. I reach out to cup them in my hands. My fingers sink into her soft flesh, and she bites her lip to keep herself from moaning. But she also grabs my wrists and pulls my hands off of her.

"Now now," she chides me. "I'm the one in charge here. I know they're tempting, but I'm the teacher here." She moves forward, spreading my legs so she's just inches from me. "And I'm going to take care of your distraction for you." She leans forwards and wraps her tits around my shaft, using her hands to press her pillowy and warm flesh tight around me.

She's not as big as Rias or Akeno, but her tits still feel like heaven on my cock. She starts moving her tits with her hands, groping herself as she stimulates me. The smooth skin of her chest rubs against my erection, stimulating me. She watches my face in fascination as I react to the waves of pleasure her actions send through me.

And it's nice, though we're reaching the limits of what's pleasurable without any sort of lubrication. She must realize it too because as soon as I think that, she tears her gaze away from my face, looks down at the several inches of cock sticking out of her cleavage, and wraps her lips around the head of my penis.

I groan softly as her warm tongue swirls around my sensitive tip. Encouraged by my reaction, she takes more of it into her mouth, still moving her tits around. My hands instinctively grab onto her head, fingers tangling in her soft hair. She responds by starting to bob her head up and down, blowing me while she gives me a titjob.

A small, undistracted part of my mind notes how amateur her movements are. Like she has a vague idea of what to do, but this is her first time. The rest of me is too distracted by the heat of her sending tingles of pleasure through me that radiate from my cock. Her saliva slowly drips down my shaft, and it acts as a lubricant for her boobs, increasing the pleasure of their movements.

It only takes a few minutes for me to reach a climax. The sensations, the sight of her topless and blowing me, a look of rapture on her normally stern face, and the situation of getting a blowjob from a teacher in school is all too much for me. I buck my hips upwards and hold her head down as I cum, shooting ropes of my cum into her throat. Her eyes widen, but she doesn't make any move to pull back. I see her throat move as she swallows my load.

For once, I didn't change the flavor of my cum, not wanting to make anything stand out as strange to someone who has no idea about the supernatural side of the world. As I finish cumming, she slides her mouth off of my dick and sits back. A little bit of my cum trails down from the corner of her lips. She wipes it off with a finger before sticking said finger in her mouth.

She swallows one last time and then looks up at me. "That's not so bad actually," she comments. Her eyes sink down from my face to my still erect dick. "And I see that you're full of youthful energy still," she purrs.

"I'm still feeling pretty distracted," I comment. "Do you think you could keep helping me out?"

"I've got just the thing," she says, getting up. Once again, she sits back on the desk next to the one I'm sitting at, but this time she pulls her skirt up and spreads her legs wide, fully showing off her panties. Panties that she immediately pulls to the side, revealing her dripping cunt.

She looks at me but doesn't say anything. She doesn't need to, her pose and her expression are clear. She's horny, and she needs this. I stand up and position myself between her stocking-clad legs. She wastes no time wrapping them around me, pulling me closer to her.

I rub my length between her pussy lips, teasing her entrance. Her slit is extremely hot, and she moans as I rub against her, the effects of [Touch of Pleasure] and [Increase Sensitivity] still active, albeit at moderately low levels.

I think about teasing her more, but I'm getting impatient myself. I quickly apply [Imbue Elasticity] to make sure there aren't any issues, I line myself up, and then I push forward, sheathing my cock in her incredibly hot insides.

Even with [Imbue Elasticity], it's a struggle to get my entire length inside of her. The last few inches especially are difficult. But the way she screams out in pleasure, the orgasmic sound of her moans ringing in my ears, urges me to go as deep as I can.

I pause inside of her, and the both of us take a moment to catch our breath. Our eyes lock, and her chest heaves. [Empathy] picks up surprise, elation, nervousness, and all sorts of other emotions from her. But the biggest one by far is the pure ecstasy she feels. Her legs clamp tighter around me, and I don't need any more invitation than that to start moving.

Due to her legs holding me close, my thrusts are shallow, but each of them presses against the entrance to her womb and I make up for the lack of depth with speed. My thumb also finds her clit and presses against it, twirling it in circles.

Ms. Nakano cries out in pleasure and leans back. Her head is dangling off of the other side of the desk, and her breasts bounce with every thrust. All other emotions besides ecstasy have been washed away. "Oh god, Axton yes!" she cries out.

"Are you going to cum?" I ask her after a few minutes, as I feel her grow tighter and hotter. "Is your student's dick going to make you orgasm?" I feel her clench even tighter when I call myself her student. It seems like I'm not the only one who was interested in a scenario like this.

"Yes!" she cries out. "I'm going to cum!"

"Then cum for me, Sensei!" I demand as I increase my tempo even more. I don't have to wait long, and in fact, calling her sensei seems to have done it. I feel her tighten even more before her whole body shudders, an orgasm rippling through her.

I don't stop thrusting as she cums until I feel my own climax arrive. The instant before I cum, I pull out and thrust one last time against her entrance. Ropes of semen shoot from the tip of my penis to land on Ms. Nakano's bare skin, marking her stomach and tits with my seed.

As she recovers her breath, I keep rubbing my length against her entrance. I can feel the nub of her clit against my sensitive skin, and she shudders each time I press against it. "Are you still…distracted?" she asks.

"More than ever," I reply with a grin. "Maybe we should try another approach? Another...angle?" I say suggestively.

"That's a good idea," she says, smiling as well. She sits up and then gets off the desk. She walks a few steps away, to the front of the classroom, and places her hands on the teacher's podium. She bends over, presenting her juicy rear. Her dripping entrance is framed by her thick thighs, and it's one of the most enticing visuals I've ever seen.

"Maybe this method will yield better results," she says. She reaches back with one hand and pulls on one side of her pussy, spreading herself open. "As your teacher, I'll do whatever I can to accommodate your learning style."

She's really getting into the teacher thing huh? Well, so am I. I don't waste any time lining myself up behind her and thrusting into her. She puts both hands on the podium again to brace herself as she moans in pleasure.

Her cries echo through the empty room as I thrust into her from behind. Unlike before, I'm free to pull back quite a bit, so I can go for deep thrusts instead of small and rapid ones. Each one sends ripples through her ass cheeks, and I can see the lean muscles of her sweat-covered back tense up as she cries out in pleasure.

"You're getting fucked from behind by your student in the middle of a classroom," I tease her as I continue to pound into her. She responds by clenching tighter and moaning even louder. "Is this something you fantasize about? Is this the kind of teacher you are?"

"N-no," she denies, her voice unsteady. "This is- it's an exception."

"Ah, I see," I say. "You saw what Aika and I were doing and got jealous." She clenches tighter around me. "You saw your students messing around during class, and instead of getting mad, you decided you wanted the same thing. What a slutty teacher."

To my surprise, my words cause her to cum, her pussy walls convulsing around me as her knuckles go white with how tightly she's gripping the podium. She lets out a keening moan as she cums.

Isn't she supposed to be dominant? That's what her fetishes said, and she was definitely more on the dominant side at the start of this. Curious, I check her with [Lewd Scouter] again.

Interesting. The 'femdom' fetish had been replaced entirely with a teacher and student one. It's not the first time my actions have caused someone's fetishes to change. Hell, I pretty much determined the fetishes of anyone without any. Still, a change like this is bigger than expected. Maybe she was half into it already, and my actions and skills caused it to shoot up in ranking? I'm pretty sure some of the girls I've used [Lewd Scouter] on have more fetishes than the list shows, which makes me think it just prioritizes the biggest ones.

Well, either way, I'm fine with this. I'm enjoying this a lot myself. I keep thrusting into her through her orgasm, causing her to groan in a ragged tone.

"I know I'm a bad teacher," she says after her climax finishes. "I shouldn't be thinking about my students like that."

"Nah, you're the best teacher," I say, fingers gripping tighter around her hips. "You're sexy, you feel fantastic, and you do a good job teaching too." I speed up my thrusts, my own orgasm approaching. "So I really hope you keep teaching me because you're my favorite teacher."

<+8 Affection with Mio Nakano>

She cums again, moaning loudly, and I cum as well. Once again, I pull out at the last second and shoot my load onto her bare skin, this time covering her back with semen. I take a moment to appreciate the sight of my white seed all over her as she catches her breath again. It makes me want to keep going, but a quick glance at the time tells me I can't. Clubs are about to let out, and I need to be home soon for some business with Serafall.

Before she can turn around and see me still erect, I pull up my pants and hide my erection. At the sound of me getting dressed, she starts to come down from her ecstasy high, emotions settling. Only for them to immediately start spiking again with panic.

"I can't believe I just did that," I hear her say to herself. "What is wrong with you Mio? That's your student!"

Oh goddammit. I thought I nipped this in the bud with my little speech just now. I guess it didn't stick with her mind filled with pleasure. Plan B it is then.

"Mio," I call out to her. She gets up and looks back at me, her emotions a riling mess, and it shows on her face. This won't do at all. As we make eye contact, I activate [Hypnotize]. "What we did wasn't wrong. We both wanted it, and we just had some fun. Nobody was hurt. Doing it with your students is wrong, but I'm an exception to that rule, so you can have sex with me. That is perfectly okay." I don't want her sleeping with her other students after all. Just me.

"I- I see," she says, immediately calming down as the suggestion settles in. Hypnosis is useful stuff, huh? "I guess I just got a little confused."

I smile at her reassuringly. "It's fine, it was pretty intense, getting a little mixed up isn't strange." [Hypnotize] isn't a skill I use too often, but maybe I should change that. Not to seduce girls, I have more than enough tools at my disposal for that. Or well, nobody important anyways. Hypnotizing some random girl or some NPC sounds like it could be fun. Maybe on a date with Kyu? She seemed to like me using it on that waiter, might be another secret fetish of hers.

But no, it's not needed for anyone important. The chase is the best part of seduction, taking a shortcut like [Hypnotize] would be no fun. But for things like this? For tidying up messes and stopping problems before they become problems? Its usefulness can't be overstated.

"We should probably wrap up the lesson here," I say as I bring my attention back to the current situation. "As much as I would like to continue, it's starting to get late."

She nods, gathering her wits. "Right, yeah." Then she smiles at me flirtatiously. "If you ever want another lesson, let me know. I'll happily make some time for you."

"I'll make sure to take you up on that," I reply with a grin. I pick my bag up and head for the door. "I'll go ahead and leave first. I'll see you in class tomorrow Ms. Nakano."

I leave the classroom and start the trek to the Student Council room to pick up Asia before we go home. Banging a teacher took way too long, but it was worth the wait. I'll definitely have to play more with her later. Until then, I have business to take care of. I'm especially looking forward to tonight, because according to a text from Serafall I got this afternoon, Riser's old Peerage is ready, and today's the day they move in with me. And I can't wait.
