Relaxation

The next morning Alex awoke as the sun rose and started hitting his eyes, causing him to groan from his sleeplessness the night before even though he didn't get to engage in his usual nightly activities. Clinging to his side even though it was still hot from their current summer weather, was the naked Irina that had fallen asleep while waiting up for him. Alex smiled mischievously as his hand reached for her soft ass and pinched it, startling the beautiful angel awake. Irina groaned as she stretched and said while pouting,

"That's not how you treat a lady, you need to wake us up gently. Besides I still need my beauty sleep!" Alex chuckled lightly and said,

"You were already asleep when I got back last night so I'd assume you've had plenty." Irina looked slightly guilty that she didn't manage to stay awake until he arrived, before she realized what he was getting at. She then said somewhat seductively with a mild blush,

"So how can I make it up to you?" Alex's smile widened and he replied while rolling her on top of himself,

"It's funny you should ask, because I think I've got just the thing in mind." Neither one said anything else as they sealed each other's lips, and the grinding came before the inevitable mount and ride. Alex watched almost as if he was hypnotized as she bounced up and down on him, her breasts bouncing in rhythm with her. It didn't take long for Irina to reach her climax before she fell against his chest once more, during which Alex also creamed her insides with his seed. Irina sighed in contentment as she felt the warmth spreading within her, while Alex wrapped her in his arms before sealing her lips once again. They laid there cuddling while while Irina ran her hands along Alex's chest muscles, and he alternated between running his hands along her back and grabbing her butt, occasionally he'd also tease a certain area that made the Angel's already flushed face turn even redder. Though he wasn't pushing her too hard Irina was already more than aware that Alex was ready for another round, as he was seemingly quite backed up from not being "active" during the two months he was training. As this thought crossed both of their minds, the doors to Alex's bedroom flew open and Ravel entered flanked by Nyx and Sona.

"Did you really manage to heal lady Misla?!" Sona demanded immediately while Ravel also listened intently and Nyx started cleaning, albeit with a visible redness to her cheeks. Alex groaned and didn't answer her right away, but instead slapped Irina's rear one last time before saying to her,

"Go get some cold water running and I'll join you shortly." Irina told him to hurry along and quickly rushed into the bathroom, leaving Alex alone with the other three girls. He sat up and sighed before saying,

"Word travels fast doesn't it? Yes I woke her up and spent a little bit of time catching her up to speed last night, after all she's missed a lot." Sona was dumbfounded at Alex's bluntness, and couldn't manage to say anything for several minutes. What Misla was suffering from was a sickness that would induce those who suffer from it into a coma, before they would eventually die. As Misla was considered "faulty" by the house of Bael and her treatment was at risk of subterfuge, Sairaorg had entrusted her care to the Sitri clan since their territory was famous for their many hospitals and advanced medical practices. Hearing that Alex easily managed to do something that not even their most prestigious hospitals could do was a bit of a blow to Sona's pride. In her current state only a single word escaped her lips,

"How?" Alex smiled and explained,

"I used a newly acquired age of gods magic called Spirit Magic, it allows one to interact with the souls of those around them. If you recall I mentioned that one of the Liberators was still alive in the form of a golem? That was because she had her comrade use Spirit Magic to transfer her soul from her body into the golem in order to gain a form pseudo immortality. I used this magic to interact with Misla's soul itself and stir her into awaking." Sona was dumbfounded at Alex's answer, and so she was surprised when he pulled her onto his lap while he was still naked and said,

"Now that I answered your question, are you gonna spend some time with me today?" As it was obvious what he wanted to spend time together for, a bit of red crept into Sona's cheeks as she replied,

"I'll go along with you now, but you'll have to take me on a proper outing later!" Alex smiled and wrapped his arms around her while saying,

"Of course, I've got a few days to kill so I'm gonna spend that time relaxing for a bit, and at the top of my list is spending some quality time with everyone I care about." Sona smiled at his promise while Ravel promptly plopped down in his lap as well and said,

"I hope that includes me as well? Or are you just gonna dump another insane necromancer on me while you go off to have fun?" Alex grimaced and asked,

"Was she that bad?"Ravel shook her head and said,

"She was surprisingly cooperative, but it was obvious she wasn't all there when I met her earlier. I wasn't too thrilled about having someone like that around everyone in the Manor, so I gave her the job of general community service. Currently she's making rounds around the city to pick up trash." Alex sighed in mild relief that Eri was cooperating, but kept in mind that it was possibly a facade to get them to let their guards down. His thoughts were interrupted when his bedroom doors opened once more, and Ravel's entire peerage(with the exception of Kaori) marched in, cheeks slightly red and expectation in their eyes when they saw Alex's current nakedness. Alex cocked an eyebrow at their appearance while Ravel explained,

"Since I figured you'd be quite "vigorous" this morning I called in some reinforcements. I'm surprised they all came though since I told them that only those who wanted to participate should come." Alex smiled at Ravel's words as his gaze swept across the gathered women. From the right was Ravel's Queen and right hand, Yubelluna, with her long wavy hair and impressive bust; then the only present bishop was Mihae, who was attired in her usual kimono. Then the Knights, Siris with her long dark hair that was tied into several ponytails, and Karlamine who was dressed her usual armor; and the rooks, Isabella with half her face covered by her usual mask, and Xuelan in her standard cheongsam. Then there were all eight of the pawns gathered in their maid outfits since they were the ones working that day, there was the blue haired Mira and the brown skinned Shuriya, the two that were originally maids Marion and Burent, the twin cat girls Ni and Li, and finally the youthful looking twins Ile and Nil. Normally Alex would be hesitant to include those two, but his relationship with Yue had numbed such hesitations, and the fact that they hadn't apparently aged a day since they met told him they were simply using magic to look and act that young.

With a gesture from Ravel the fourteen gathered women started to remove their clothing, resulting in a large piles of clothes topped with fourteen pairs of panties. Alex smirked and stood with his arms still wrapped around Sona and Ravel, before making his way towards the bathroom while leading the whole line of women. Meanwhile to the side Nyx was grumbling about the pile of clothes everyone was leaving behind for her to clean, while also debating about following everyone. Even though they hadn't slept together, Nyx had joined Alex whenever he showered while training, as she'd already seen him naked and he'd already(forcibly) seen every inch of her body. Though Nyx would never admit to anyone(including herself) she was starting to anxiously await the day Alex would take her. As she was finishing up her cleaning Nyx suddenly heard several voices coming from the slightly open bathroom door,

"OH GOD!"

"HARDER!"

"YES, FUCK ME!"

After hearing this and more coming from the bathroom Nyx hurried what she was doing before swiftly making her exit from the room. After spending all morning and half the afternoon "relieving" himself, Alex finally made his way downstairs while leaving behind seventeen very satisfied and exhausted women. As he himself was quite famished from all his "exercise", Alex's first destination was the kitchen where he found a small crowd waiting for him. Gathered around the large dining table that was piled with several sweets was Rias, Grayfia, a moody looking Kuroka, Yue, Tio, Shia, Kiba, Rossweisse, Xenovia, Akeno, Kiryuu, and Koneko who was looking at the sweets longingly instead of the plate of healthy snacks in front of her. They all turned to look at Alex as he approached and Rias smirked knowingly as she asked,

"Feel better? Nyx didn't say much when she ran away from your room earlier, but her face said everything it needed to." Alex laughed lightly as he sat down and dug into the sweets, not replying before he got down a few mouthfuls,

"Much better, so much so I'm thinking I'll just spend the night with Gabriel and Koneko tonight if they want." Koneko suddenly looked up from the sweets she was eyeing before saying with a nod,

"... Of course!" Her reaction brought a smile to everyone's face before Rias stated,

"By the way, I'm going to return to Tortus with a few people. Anne, Asia, Gasper, Kaori, and Shizuku are attempting the labyrinth the other way so I'm going to wait at the temple for them. While waiting we're going to see what the church headquarters has for the taking." Alex smiled at her words before saying with a smirk,

"You're going to plunder a church?" Rias smirked back and said as a matter of fact,

"Of course, what do you expect from Devils that are enemies of "God"?" Everyone laughed at Rias's declaration before she headed out with those who would help plunder the church, Grayfia, Kiba, Rossweisse, and Kuroka. This left Alex with Yue, Tio, Shia, Xenovia, Akeno, and Kiryuu as he asked the latter three,

"I'm going to try and spend some time with everyone while I'm here the next few days, can you three help show Yue, Tio, and Shia around Asora?" Xenovia and Kiryuu easily excepted Alex's request, but Akeno playfully pouted and asked,

"Will I get my chance to spend time with you, master~?" Alex smiled and said while gesturing Tio to come closer,

"Of course, but until then I have a bit of a surprise for you Akeno." As he finished speaking Alex grabbed part of the kimono Tio usually wore, and yanked it off to reveal the skin beneath. Under her clothes Tio was completely naked, except for the special metallic wire(courtesy of Hajime) that wrapped her body in a lewd bondage style. Alex then answers Akeno's surprised expression with,

"This is Tio, a filthy pervert that loves being abused in any and every manner. So consider this thing a new toy to play with until I join you." By this point Tio was panting slightly with excitement from the way Alex introduced her, while a sadistic smile spread on Akeno's face and her eyes gained the matching gleam. Tio started panting louder as Akeno looked at her with such eyes, before the latter summoned a collar and leash while saying,

"Ufufufufufu, in that case be a good little dog and let me leash you." Tio obediently stood still as Akeno collared and leashed her, before following her towards her dungeon. After a few steps however Akeno stopped and barked sharply,

"Dogs don't walk on two legs, they crawl on all four and beg like the mongrels they are!" Tio's panting grew louder as she got on all fours, and answered,

"Yes mistress, please punish this lowly mutt!" Akeno smiled sadistically at Tio's obedience, and was about to lead her away when Alex stated,

"I'll let you two do as you want for now but you can't have fun together in the future unless I approve, otherwise Tio will probably never see the light of day again. Plus she's still a virgin so you can't do anything to her there, everything else is fair game though." Though Akeno was little bummed that she couldn't thoroughly play with Tio's body, she didn't show it since she free reign to do anything else she wanted. She then led Tio away who was still naked and on all fours, and showed everyone a small black gem embedded between her butt cheeks where her asshole was supposed to be. To the side Yue was muttering sadly,

"... The proud dragon race..." Alex had to fight not to laugh at her reaction, and was surprised when his gauntlet suddenly appeared and Ddraig's depressed voice sounded out to everyone,

<I think I need to say on behalf of all dragons everywhere, please don't lump us together with that pervert.> Everyone laughed lightly at Ddraig's words while Alex was almost tempted to remind the unfortunate dragon who his original host was supposed to be. Kiryuu then interrupted the laughter when she asked,

"So if you're spending time with everyone right now then when's my turn?" Alex replied flatly and almost immediately,

"I doubt it, rather than someone I actually care about you're really more of a fuck toy to be honest." Though almost any girl would be extremely insulted by such words, Kiryuu instead started loudly laughing and declared,

"Ok then! I don't really mind either way since it's hard to say I actually love you too, I don't care about such things anyways so as long as you fuck me like no one else can then I'll be satisfied." After hearing her friend's words Xenovia face palmed, but considering her own reason to originally start sleeping with Alex she knew she had no place to talk.

Everyone present continued talking for a bit before Alex and Koneko finally retired to Gabriel's room, where she was holed up while trying to continue her work since the Angels who worked for her refused to let her in her office with her increasingly swelling belly. To them Gabriel and her child was a symbol of hope for their race since they had never been able to reproduce without hardship before, even though the father of said child was incidentally a devil. Koneko was suffering from the same circumstances currently as well since she and Kuroka were the last of their species, and so her older sister was being even more overprotective than usual and had seemingly teamed up with with Ravel. This had led to the restrictions in her diet, and even her training was almost entirely comprised of simply meditating while all of her physical exertions were simple stretches. Once the duo arrived at Gabriel's room they didn't waste any time in taking it over and making the soon to be mother relax while the three cuddled and watched movies.

Over the next couple of days Alex relaxed in similar ways with the various women he cared about, from having a small group lunch in Ophis's shrine, to spending an afternoon lounging on Zenith as they sailed aimlessly on the ocean. There was also the one night however that Alex spent with Akeno as promised, however he ended up being with both Akeno and Tio in her dungeon, resulting in a night Alex wasn't sure if he wanted to always remember, or try and delete it from his memory. The only "work" he actually did during this time was when he accompanied Serafall as she tried to set up a magic formation to induce man made rain, since things were drying out a little too much in their extended summer. This however led to Alex attacking her when they were done while still flying several thousand feet in the sky and, though she tried to reject him at first, she soon became compliant and they had both experienced sex in midair and while free falling for the first time. At this point Alex was starting to wonder who the biggest tsundere around him was, Nyx or Serafall, as the later constantly tried to claim that their relationship was centered only in them sharing Sona. During his final day of relaxing though, Alex was escorting Ingvild to the beach where homes were currently being built for the first wave of migrating dagons that had just arrived that day. As the two walked along the sandy beach they stopped when they heard a little girl shout and Alex caught what seemed to be green haired rocket from midair.

"PAPA! I missed you!" Alex wrapped his arms around Myuu and replied,

"I missed you too Myuu, how are you and your mother?" The moment Alex mentioned Remia however, Myuu adopted a concerned expression even as her mother also approached them, and begged Alex,

"Papa, please look at mamas legs again, I think they might still be hurt! Right after papa left mama couldn't walk right for an entire day!" At Myuu's declaration, which several people around them heard, Alex looked towards her mother to find a healthy shade of red covering her entire face as her usual "ara ara" atmosphere disappeared. She quickly went up to her daughter and said,

"Papa doesn't need to worry Myuu, after all mamas all better now see?" Though Remia tried to ease the situation over, Myuu replied with a pouty expression,

"I'm just worried about mama..." Remia looked conflicted at her daughters expression, and wasn't entirely sure he was helping when Alex comforted her by saying,

"Don't worry Myuu, later on tonight I'll thoroughly check mamas body and make sure she's alright, ok?" Myuu nodded happily since she knew her papa would take care of her mama, while Remia, who was well aware of Alex's real intentions, practically hissed in his ear,

"It's your fault that I couldn't walk for an entire day to begin with." Alex had to fight from smiling at Remia's remark, though he noticed she didn't reject his statement about spending the night together. The group started making their way over towards the main group of dagons, where they found Yasaka trying to coordinate with the Dagon chief on organizing the new residents. Yasaka was the first to notice the new arrivals as her ears twitched in their direction, and Kunou immediately ran to greet them in a similar manner as Myuu. As Alex arrived with a giggling girl in each arm he asked both the chief and Yasaka,

"I hope things are progressing smoothly, or is there something need to help with?" Yasaka smiled as she leaned forward to give him a peck on the lips, then she answered,

"Things are going swimmingly, thanks to the fact that the temperatures are so high the new arrivals have no problem camping out for a few days before we can finish with their new houses, and several Dagon have eagerly started diving into the ocean to explore and search out seafood hotspots." Alex nodded and continued asking a few questions about the immigration process to ensure everyone was happy with the new arrangements, though he was also made aware of a somewhat annoying rumor that made even Remia snort in annoyance. It appeared that a particular rumor started circulating that stated that in order to get approval to move here, the Dagon chief sold Remia and Myuu to Alex as pleasure slaves as well as a promise of more of their women if he wanted them in the future. A small investigation on an angry Bova and Roygun's part however revealed that it was mostly the men that were interested in becoming Remia's suitors originally that started it, so after they were taught a lesson the matter was quickly closed. After the chief finished explaining what happened, Alex recalled something and summoned a couple items that Serafall had delivered to him just that morning, a small book and a large ball that had small bumps covering its surface.

"Here, I was thinking of a way for the Dagon people to become more known in Asora and also for them to develop a sense of pride in themselves, so I mentioned a certain game I heard about to the person who's been in charge of entertainment." As he finished speaking Alex handed the book to the chief while he handed the ball to Myuu and sent her and Kunou to go play with the other children. The chief took one look at the cover of the book(which was written in the language used on Tortus) and his brow twitched as he read out loud,

"'Blitzball for Dummies'?" Alex shrugged from seeing the Chiefs reaction and knew he didn't get the reference, so he just simply explained,

"It's a sport that played exclusively under water. A ball like the one I just had is passed back and forth between teammates as they try to make it down the "field" so to speak, then they have to score in the other team's goal while also keeping the ball away from said other team. You'll get it once you start reading the book." Though the chief didn't understand the idea of recreational sports, the idea of something being introduced that the Dagon race would naturally excel at excited him. They talked a bit more about Blitzball before Alex eventually excused himself since he was supposed to be on a date with Ingvild to begin with.

"Sorry about that, now let's continue." Ingvild chuckled before replying,

"I don't mind, I love the ocean so meeting a tribe of people can live in water was exciting." Alex smiled at her response and continued their walk, as the sun slowly set across the waves. At one point however Alex stopped mid sentence and Ingvild looked at him curiously, before he said,

"I got an update from Rias, looks like everyone finished conquering the labyrinth."
