I call it a Cloak-ing Device, not very creative, but it works. Honestly, it's more of a poncho made out of an old blanket than a cloak, but, again, it works. Anyone wearing it becomes unnoticeable by electronic devices or normal mortal eyes. Supernaturals can see you just fine, though, which is why it is only a C-rank ability that I placed on the blanket/poncho.

Anyway, it'll successfully hide Viser from prying mortal eyes or devices, and it'll hide her ta-tas from my hungry eyes that were having problems prying themselves free from her perky points. That's got to be the Issei in me craving the oppai, right? Maybe?

Viser wakes up soon after I finish outfitting her with the Poncho of Invisibility and panics. It was a struggle not to laugh a little. Have you ever seen those videos of cats freaking out being surprised by cucumbers? Yeah, like that. A nine-foot jump straight up and then a scramble back with her tail standing straight out. If Maria and Koneko hadn't grabbed her when they did, she would probably have been halfway across Kuoh in thirty seconds flat.

"Have a seat, Miss Viser," Rias says. She waits a moment to let Viser's heartbeat return to a reasonable rate before holding up the white pawn piece with black and green veins that I removed from her. "What's this Viser?"

Viser looks confused for a moment and then clutches her chest, and raw panic explodes out of her.

"You're fine, Viser," I say with a smile. "There were no complications during the removal process. You are no longer bound to Narnia Naberius, and you are no longer part of their experiment. All corrupted energy has been removed with the Pawn."

"B-but how?" Viser asks.

"Uh..."

"That's not important, right now," Rias interrupts. "What is important is for you to tell us what the Naberius clan is doing and where they got this corrupted Evil Piece from. Are there others with something like this in them?"

"I-I don't really know," Viser says. "My father made a deal with the Naberius clan a year ago. I had always been sickly and small when I was younger, what the Naberius doctors called a congenital disease."

Ah! I can see where this is going. 'Give your daughter to us, or she'll die a horrible death. We can fix her, make her... better. Maniacal laugh. Maniacal laugh.'

"They said it was incurable, but that if I accepted an Evil Piece that the transformation would rebuild me and fix the problem."

See. The only real question is, did they just take advantage of the girl's condition, or did they create the condition, to begin with, to further their research. I'm leaning towards the former, but the latter wouldn't surprise me in the least.

"And is this what the piece you accepted looked like?" Rias asks.

Viser shakes her head. "No, it was solid white originally, but Master Narnia did say that the piece was special. A 'new design,' he called it, and said it would enhance my abilities."

A new design, huh? One that channels the corrupted energy to rapidly increase power but also has the downside of driving the user insane and possibly mutating them in the process. Damage doesn't seem to be permanent, at least... At least at her stage. That's a good sign, at least. Now that the corrupt energy has been removed, she seems relatively normal... assuming she was always a lion-centaur-thingy.

[Alert. Demonic presence detected within the perimeter.]

Hello. 'Can you give me any more information on the target?'

[Subject is a female demon of approximately one hundred seventy-four centimeters tall with a bust of eighty-seven centimeters, waist of fifty-seven centimeters, and hips of eighty-five centimeters.]

'Ah, Zest. Got it. This seems early. Is it?' I had it at 'female demon,' but Sage is thorough, if nothing else.

[Unknown]

'Sorry, I was talking to myself that time.'

She'll be in the observing phase. Maybe it's not early. I've got that date with Yuki this weekend. Doesn't that other demon show up then? Yeah, that's right. It should be demons and heroes, followed by a week of a training montage, and then the fight with the heroes. I can practically hear the Rocky soundtrack already.

"Issei?" Rias says.

"Hmm?" I look up, and everyone is watching me. I must have appeared lost in thought. That's not a healthy idea on a battlefield.

"Sorry, I was working something out in my head," I say. "What did I miss?"

Rias dons a wry smile, and Akeno covers her mouth. I can't see Mio, but I can practically feel her rolling her eyes. "We were saying that we're going to take Viser back to the clubhouse before contacting my brother," Rias says.

"That-" I start to say that it sounds like a good idea, but a sigil appears on Koneko's hand, catching my eye. My mind whirls. Things are moving a little fast. I remember where we are now. I think I know what that means. "Koneko, don't answer that."

Rias looks between Koneko and me. "What's wrong?"

"Just a hunch. Please, bear with me," I say. "Koneko, that's a summons notification, right?"

She nods.

"Can you identify where that comes from?"

"Un. There are actually two. Both are regular customers. One is an apartment near the center of town, and the other is a house a few miles from the school."

"The house. That's the one."

"That's the one, what?" Rias asks.

"Uh, that's where, if I'm not mistaken, a rogue exorcist is probably killing your client... as we speak," I say.

They all stare at me. Sigh. "Do I really need to explain all this? Just trust that I'm right. Okay?" I say. "The real question is, what are we going to do about it?"

Rias frowns. "If it's true, we need to eliminate that stray. He's killing humans and drawing attention. If we don't eliminate him now, he's just going to be harder to track down later. Right now, we know where he is."

I smile. Good girl. Take the initiative, root out your problem, don't let small problems snowball into big ones. I catch Rias's eye. "Alright, but this is a small house. Not exactly designed for large-scale combat. I'd like it to be me, Koneko, and maybe one more at most on standby. Probably Akeno to teleport anyone out if necessary."

"Hey, what about us?" Mio shouts, with her hands on her hips in defiant tsundere mode.

"As I said, small group, Koneko has the location, Akeno has the transport, and I know what's going on and who needs to perish. Also, I'd prefer not to expose you to this type of combat yet. It'll come. I promise, but it's messy, and you have enough nightmares right now."

She squirms a little. "W-well, what about Maria?" she asks.

"I'm staying with you, so big brother won't be distracting himself, worrying that some demon will show up and kidnap you," Maria says.

Mio blushes, and I let out another weary sigh. "Well, I wasn't going to worry, but now? Yeah, I think I'm going to worry. Thanks, Maria."

"Oh! Whoops, sorry."

"Sorry," Mio nearly whispers.

"Don't apologize. It's only natural that I would worry about you. I worry about Maria as well. I worry about Rias, Akeno, and Koneko as well," I say. Looking over at Kiba, I shrug. "Sorry, dude, I just don't think about you that way. Maybe we can be friends, though?"

Kiba rolls his eyes. "Oh, please."

Sassy Kiba is sassy. I'll leave that alone. I have something much more important to handle first. "Actually, Maria, can I see you over there," I say, indicating a side room.

Maria and the others tilt their heads in question. "I just need to see you for a quick minute. Won't take more than a moment."

"Sure, big brother," she says with a slightly questioning lilt.

I smile at the others. "Be right back." And walk Maria into a side room.

"So, wh-" is as far as Maria got before I lifted her off the ground and pressed her back up against a hopefully nice solid wall. Leaning in, I drill my tongue into her slightly agape mouth. She dangles for a split second as my tongue runs rampant inside her mouth, toying with her tongue. The shock wears off quickly, and soon she's excitedly wrapping her arms and legs around my body, and the battle in her mouth becomes an all-out war.

I pin her between the wall with my body, and I start to caress her with my newly freed-up hands. One hand works its way up to cup her breast while the thumb makes slow circles over the fabric covering her nipple. The other hand slides down her body, knocking one of her legs free to give me easier access to her succubus-power-panties, and run my fingers along the fabric covering her hidden slit.

I draw my head back enough to look her in the eyes. "I hope you don't mind," I say, my voice a little husky from the kiss.

I shift her panties to the side and cup her vulva with the palm of my hand before shifting to brush my fingers across the narrow opening, dipping slightly further in with each repetition. At the same time, my thumb runs circles over the hood of the clitoris, applying firm but gentle pressure.

It sounds harder than it is, actually. It's more of a rocking motion of the hand that exaggerates the slight rotation of the thumb. The middle fingers naturally curl against the vaginal opening.

She gasps, and her fingers tighten into the back of my shirt. "A-are we really going to do it right here?" she asks.

"If by 'it,' you mean bring you to a couple of orgasms and help me recoup some LP, then yes, but if you're thinking I'm going to fuck you insensible, then I hate to disappoint you, but I have no intention of our first time being a quickie in a run-down building with half a dozen witnesses. When we do finally have sex, I want it to be somewhere we aren't worried about getting tetanus. Anyway, you wanted Mio to be the first, and though my balls are so blue they're about to crystalize into sapphires, I'll wait for her to be ready."

"Pfft," she snorts and laughs through the waves of pleasure. "Is it really that bad, big brother?"

"Have you seen the women around me lately? Just those that came tonight are all walking wet dreams."

Her eyes flutter for a moment as her vagina seems to suck at my fingertips. "I-I think," she huffs out. "I'm the only one who c-came so far tonight. You should let me take care of that for you. There are plenty of ways to relieve you that don't involve intercourse."

"I'd like to take you up on that offer, but not right this second. Even with your abilities, it would take a while to bring me to climax, and halfway ain't gonna cut it."

"You know I'm a succubus, right? This kind of thing is my bread and butter."

"How many orgasms have I brought you to in the last two minutes?"

"F-four," she groans, and her body vibrates. "F-five."

"Then trust me when I say it takes time we don't have right now."

"Why did you choose me for this? Why not Mio?" she asks.

"I'm not sure Mio is ready for this level of public sex yet. You realize other people can certainly hear your moans, right?" I remind her. A slight flush rushes to her cheeks, and the narrow opening narrows a little more, squeezing the tip of my finger. "As for the other. They may understand academically what is necessary for my abilities to be used to their fullest, but knowing and doing are different things. We've all just met, after all. I'll let them approach me first."

I lean in and whisper in her ear just in case someone is listening. "Feel free to give them a little push, though."

Pulling back, I continue. "Anyway, the other reason that you're the obvious choice is that I've noticed I get a bigger bang for my buck, or I guess more bucks for my bang with you over anyone else."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I don't know why. Maybe it's because we have a powerful connection, or because the pact magic is based on your magic or the fact that you're a succubus and my ego gets supremely stroked every time you cum for me, but I do seem to get more LP for a similar session. That and I love being with you."

She beams a little brighter. "Is- mm- stroking your ego a major factor in gaining LP?"

"Satisfaction is, and there isn't much I get more satisfaction from than bringing a beautiful woman to orgasm. It's a fucking rush, and I love it."

"Despite the blue balls?"

"Despite the blue balls."

While talking with Maria, my left hand moved away from her breast, and the Boosted Gear forms over my hand and arm. Using the claws, I carve a sigil for a silencing ward. I'm not left-handed, so the penmanship kind of sucks, but it's enough to form a small aura to keep sound from escaping from here.

"Ya know," Maria says. "It's not fair that you are always the one to make us cum. We'd also enjoy getting you off. So, don't be selfish and let us help you cum sometimes too."

I blink, and my rhythm breaks for a second before I pick it back up, but it's enough to bring a smile to Maria's lips. Wow, I'm an idiot. I'm overcompensating for feeling guilty because of how our relationship stands. The Master-Servant Pact makes this an unequal relationship, and I constantly feel like I'm taking advantage of the girls, but instead of talking to them, I made stupid assumptions.

Communication is the cornerstone of any master-servant relationship and any regular relationship for that matter. I tried to make it all about their pleasure and didn't consider what they actually want. Dumbass!

I chuckle at my own arrogance. "You know what, you are entirely right. I've been an idiot. Later, let's sit down, the three of us, and talk. I need to tell you something else, though."

I lean in and whisper right next to her ear. I don't know if Zest can read lips or anything, so this is safest even with the ward in place. "Don't change your expression. Try to make it look like you're in complete ecstasy."

"Pfft. Like that would be hard."

"Seriously. Don't react to what I'm about to say," I whisper. "One of Zolgear's minions is spying on us. When we separate later, she'll probably follow you and Mio, so stay on guard. Double-check with your mom and sister when we get home. We should still have time before they make any moves, but better safe than sorry."

She rubs her face against mine. "Shouldn't we eliminate her?"

"No!" I say emphatically—no killing my future waifu, waifu. "No, Zolgear wanted to turn you into a Trojan Horse. Well, I think Zest would make the ideal Trojan Horse of our own."

"Oh, I like it. How are we going to do it, though?"

"Just like with the fallen angels, we only need the right bait. Speaking of which, I may need a bigger recharge later. Maybe we could try out that whole you getting me off thing?"

"Oh, I think we can arrange something," Maria says with a smirk.

I pull my now gauntletless left hand back over to Maria and pull her top over to expose her perky breast and lean down to it. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a small white head of hair with a kitty ornament peak around the edge of the wall, so I readjust my angle and scrape my tongue across Maria's nipple with long slow motions. I don't want to take too much time, but I want to give Koneko a good view of what's happening.

I glance up in time to see the trailing hair of two redheads and a dark brunette ducking back around the corner while Koneko sits and watches openly. I mentally dispel the silencing ward, and Maria's moans stretch out into the world again. Koneko slips quietly forward until she's within licking distance of Maria and me.

'What are you doing?" she asks.

I look up at her. "Recharging," I say. I cock my head in curiosity. "Were- Were you interested in joining us?"

She blushes and turns her head away. "Lewd."

"It's the hazard of our abilities. Some lewd actions are inevitable." Of course, I'm saying this while still fingering Maria's pussy.

"Not ready," she says, taking a step back and not looking at us anymore.

"I didn't think so," I say. "Take your time. There's no pressure." She nods, and I can see her still watching out of the corner of her eyes.

Returning my attention to Maria, I lean back in and capture her lips once more. It's about time to wrap this up. I've gained about seventeen hundred LP from our little session and maybe course-corrected just a little. Good gains across the board. Also, it seems like I'll be able to relieve my perpetual state of epididymal hypertension.

I lean my body back and pull Maria from the wall. She hangs from my neck for a moment before slowly sliding down my body. I drop one more kiss on her nose and step away. Turning, I lick one of my succubus nectar-soaked fingers. It's delicious. "Damn," I say, looking between my fingers and Maria. "Is this your natural flavor, or is it something special you use to make you taste this good?"

She just smiles, but the glow of satisfaction tells me that this is all her... and the slightly rough but pleasurable feeling around my fingers tells me that Koneko was curious enough to directly try to lick my fingers clean of Maria's juices. I look at the kitten, and she blushes but doesn't stop. I pat the cute little kitten's head until she finishes.
