-Underworld-

One thing I knew about the Gremory was their line of work, a large business enterprise owned and managed by the clan which operated various business ventures in the Underworld as well as the Human world. In the Human world, the Gremory had several Large Enterprise which operated several travel agencies and a chain of hotels in various countries such as in Japan; in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and other large cities along with the States and parts of West of Europe, each which had hotel chains owned by the Gremory, Goetia Enterprise. The enterprise was even involved in the film industry in the Human world. The current president of the enterprise being none other than Rias' father — Zeoticus Gremory.

It gave a better understanding of just about how rich they were. And as to why they would invest in an artificial beach in the Underworld. Even as I stood here, my feet resting on top of the hot sand with the sound of waves crashing — I couldn't help but be amazed at how realistic everything looked. The sky itself was blue with my skin feeling the warmth of the fake Sun. 

I really felt like I was back on Earth on one of the beaches that I once visited with Akeno or Kala, and not still in the Underworld. Just how they managed to recreate a literal ocean with waves and the breeze was astounding to me. Maybe it was an illusion and if someone were to swim a bit too far, they would encounter a wall. Or, the body of water was indeed this big and spanned for a few kilometers. 

Magic was truly busted. 

Either way, I needed this, an empty beach where I could relax for once. Though this opportunity was almost missed when Rias woke up with a certain Dragon God staring right at her, peering into her very existence, as she was just a few inches away from her. If I hadn't woken up early thanks to Xenovia and Irina being early birds thanks to their training at the church. I barely made it in time and put my hands over her mouth to stop the girl from screaming her lungs out and waking up everyone inside the manor.

…And probably from being pinched to death for being annoying.

"You made my mother and Akeno's think she is a spirit related to Tiamat!?" Rias exclaimed loudly, her hair frazzled and a mess. All of the rest. she must have gotten out of her sleep and was visibly slipping away. Speaking of Ophis, she now sat on my lap and stared into space with no expression on her face as usual. "How… How did you even make them believe such a lie?" 

The redhead asked, astounded at how her mother fell to such a lie. "She is supposed to be the most quick-witted of the family! The same can be said for Shuri-san…" 

Oh how cute, she considered the latter as part of the family. 

"Well it's quite easy really, they can't sense anything from Ophis since I've told her to hide her powers. All traces of it vanished right before they entered the room, so they didn't sense what you felt beforehand." I actually did some research on this Dragon God beforehand and discovered something else that could have allowed Venelana and Shuri to not suspect anything. "According to the records, Ophis was last spotted a few centuries ago, and back then, she was in the form of an old man. So I'd say it's logical why they wouldn't connect this little girl to an old man they most likely never saw and only heard about." 

At my explanation, Rias nodded her head, calming down bit by bit. Though she still looked unnerved of how I was handling Ophis on my lap and she was just letting it happen. Yes, I used to be afraid of her — still was to a certain extent — now I just understood that she wasn't some malicious being bent on destroying all living creatures. She was just lost and was looking for a way back home and unfortunately, some people decided to take advantage of that and make her their personal battery while giving false promises in exchange for that power.. Safe to say, I hated them more than ever.

"So… what now? Should we introduce her to everyone else?" She asked, starting to accept the current reality and wanting to move along before she freaked out even further. 

I shook my head, "No, not now at least. I need to talk with Sirzechs first and establish a plan of sorts. If word got out that Ophis is with us then we'll have to deal with the Khaos Brigade and Hero Faction as a whole coming after her." Not to mention Kuroka was searching for her, I wanted Sirzechs to remove her status as a criminal first and then I'd ask Ophis to stop hiding her presence, power and scent. This would attract her and I could try to capture her for real this time and smack some senses back to the catgirl. Though something told me she would be overjoyed to be able to return by Koneko's side without fear and Sirzechs' action would make her more trusting of us… hopefully. 

"Maybe you can reveal it to your group, I trust them to keep it a secret." In a way, my words were no different than admitting that I held little trust over her parent's ability to keep this matter under wraps as well. It sounded harsh but it was the truth, I barely knew them and didn't want too many people to know about this as well. 

"How long will she stay with us?" 

How long? Well, I hadn't thought about it much yet. But then again, she had nowhere to go and a part of me didn't want her to go. "She can stay at my house for now, Kuoh Academy may be a bit too open for her but my house is safe enough. There are enough magical defenses around it so that no one can enter without me knowing and I can teleport there faster. I'll try to teach her as much as I can about how life works and improve on her ability to judge certain people. In her current state she would trust anyone and anything."

"I don't trust Baka Red." Ophis said with a deadpan, or what I assumed to be one. I unconsciously patted her head, making her lean in further onto my chest. "But I trust the Enveloper. He always helped me when he was able to." 

I couldn't help but grin, "You hear that Vritra? The Dragon God trusts you." 

"..." 

He was silent.

I wondered if something was the matter with him. 

Rias crossed her arms, I could see her glaring at how I was treating Ophis. Was she jealous? 

"Anyways, for now let me handle her case. You don't have to worry much about her and can focus on your own things. Don't worry about anyone coming after her, they won't find her if she desires so. Also, before I forget, when your mother came by last night she wanted to pass on a message to you." 

Her face darkened, mostly likely still hung up on what happened at dinner yesterday. "I bet she came to tell you how I wasn't being a proper heiress and so on." 

"Nope, she wanted to apologize." Her face morphed into surprise, that was the last thing she must have expected from her strict mother. "And to further prove her point, she's invited us all to a recently opened beach in the Underworld." 

Those gloomy eyes lit up in an instant, seeing the excitement well up inside her. Guess she liked the news more than I expected. Rias jumped from her bed as she remembered something crucial, "I need to go shopping for a bikini!" 

"Eh? Don't you shave an entire changing room filled with thousands of clothes that you only wore once? Surely one of them must be a swimsuit that you'd li—" I immediately shut my mouth when I saw two demonic eyes glaring at me. "Right… can't wait to see what you'll wear?" This woman was scary when she wanted to be. 

She gave me a quick kiss before running out of the room while continued to sit there with Ophis. Now that I thought about it, where did the anime figurines disappear to? I was glad she didn't notice or I would have been skinned alive. I asked the small girl about my question and she replied with, "They broke into dust when I held them."  

Hiss…

Just what kind of strength was she packing in those small hands of hers? Infinite most likely, this little bundle of cuteness could easily slap my Balance Breaker into pieces if she so desired. Yeah, that wariness I used to feel before returned tenfold. 

And play ignorance if Rias asked what happened to her valuable collection.

{Break} 

"I can't believe she bought me this…" 

Now inside the changing room, I couldn't help but question all things in existence when gazing at the small gift Akeno bought me from her shopping trip with Rias and the other girls. I expected to be something minor, or even a can of my favorite coffee drink, but no — it was much weirder. 

It was a black speedo that looked a tad bit too small for my taste. 

Staring at this tiny, flimsy monstrosity for a few more seconds, I carefully put it back inside the box and opened another 'gift' from Rias. 

Surprise, surprise. It was a red speedo, but unlike the other one, this one had a Gremory symbol at the center of the front. 

"Honestly, those two perverts!" I exclaimed out loud as I shoved the darn thing back inside the package, my frustration clear to anyone hearing me. "Why would I EVER wear something like this!?" 

"I think it'll look good on you."

"I agree."

Two voices spoke behind me, given this was the changing room, I was not alone. Turning my head, I found both Kiba and Gasper standing there with a smile on their faces. The former was wearing a swim cap that hid his hair and swimming goggles around his neck, to my horror… he was wearing a speedo. 

"That's disgusting, Kiba." I couldn't help but comment, before turning my eyes over to a bigger issue. "Gasper, why are you wearing a girl's school swimsuit?" 

"Eh, because it's cute?" Deep breath, I had to take a deep breath. This honest to god trap was going to put someone in jail at one point in the future. I prayed that Issei and Saji wouldn't get bamboozled by the boys feminine beauty. 

"Gasper… I heard from Rias that you want to become someone manly, so that you may protect your King from every bad person, right?" He nodded his head vigorously, good at least he wasn't so far gone. "Then let me tell you something, wearing a girl's swimsuit will NOT help you get to that point. You first need to build courage, wits and confidence!" The more I spoke, the more entranced he was getting. With star stricken eyes, he began getting more fired up by the second.

"I-I understand, senpai! T-Tell me w-what to do and I'll d-do it without f-fear!" At least he had the drive, even if he looked ready to bolt at any moment. 

"Here, take this." I passed him one of the 'gifts' I was given. "It's not what I would have preferred but it's better than nothing and will make you more confident and manly at the end of the day. Just like Kiba over here." 

"I'm going to do my best to be manly like you and Kiba-senpai!" With that said, he ran off into the bathrooms to change, which actually made me sigh in relief. It was just hard to picture him as a boy… Even if Gasper made it hard to see him as one.

Kiba and I chuckled, finding his reaction and goal to be funny. Still, if he pursued his dream enough and worked hard then I was sure he would reach his ideal self.

"Oh, Hachiman, I have a confession to make." He said with a serious face, before going to one knee. 

Oi oi oi, just what was going on here!? I wasn't feeling comfortable with the atmosphere all of a sudden, something didn't feel right here! I backpedaled, eyeing for the exit at the back to save my life. The blonde on the other hand didn't seem to notice my reaction and raised his fist to her chest and made a very Knight-like pose. 

"From this day forth and until the moment I draw my last breath, I vow to always protect you — Hikigaya Hachiman."

Why couldn't he just say that whilst standing and not wearing speedos!?

"…Um, I am happy but…how should I put this… this isn't exactly the time or place to make such a knightly vow. Especially when you're in speedos, it's just disturbing."

"Sorry about that, I didn't have much time to say this before due to helping others with cleaning up Kuoh, so I figured it was now or never. You saved me. You're my precious comrade. If I can't save a comrade from a crisis then I can't call myself a Knight of the Gremory household."

Yeah, I understood that but… you know. It still felt weird to witness such a scene in the locker room.

"Thanks to you, my Sacred Gear has attained balance breaker and with your Vritra set, if we combine these two, then I feel we can surpass anything life throws at us. Hehe, I'm not usually the type to say such personal things normally." He said while scratching his cheeks with a small blush. "After hanging out with you, my viewpoint on life and my comrades also changed a lot. But I don't dislike that… this sensation makes my heart feel warm."

"..."

Nope, nope, absolutely nope! He was just gonna be spreading indecent rumors among a particular group of girls and Aika. I didn't want to be any more involved with him and the development of Boys Love — the current state was bad enough! Without giving him any answer, I booked for the exit. "W-Wait! I still have more to say!" 

Like hell I'd wait! I was safer inside an active volcano than with you!

Dear mother and father, I was a grown man who experienced a lot in life and had nearly died on several occasions. Enough to become a grandfather and start speaking to youngsters with a line beginning with 'In my days,'. But today, I truly felt like a young teenager in both mind and body that was reaching adulthood once again with how hard it was for me to not stare lewdly at certain people in my group.

I couldn't stop my blood from raging onto my face, making me blush like a tomato. In front of this scenery before my very eyes, no man could resist the sheer allure.

If Aika was around she probably would have forced me to look, while drooling all over the women as well.

"Hey, Hachi-kun. How does my swimsuit look?"



The pure white fabric that barely held her breasts in its clothy prison, while the cloth was thin enough that I could see her nips poking through, whilst her bikini bottom was even more scandalous! A white g-string fabric which clung tightly to her waist, as it was being held by thin knots. The captivating curves were hard to ignore as well when she gave a little twirl, giving a full view of her round bare bottom. She had a black ribbon tied around her neck, like some kind of choker.

"Ara ara. Buchou, you sure are fired up. Ufufu, you really wanted to show it to Hachi-kun. Now my dragon, how does mine look? Be honest~"

Striking a pose as soon as I laid eyes on her, she showed off her own swimwear. She was wearing a racy swimsuit that was designed in black and red colors! The bikini was basically a tube top that was connected to a ring in the center and looked ready to pop free from their confines at the slightest jolt.  It left little to the imagination, but emphasized her curves, her assets and her beauty. For someone like me who's seen both naked — I was getting flustered by the sight in front of me while secretly admiring their alluring beauty. These two succubuses were too erotic for my grasp of sanity, if they pushed any further then I would definitely need to slouch to keep my shame hidden.



"You both look good, I guess." I tried to look as unbothered as possible, keeping my voice nonchalant but I could still feel my face heating up, most likely ratting me out on my true feelings! Both women must have noticed and I swore I saw a predatory glint flash before their eyes. 

"Ehehe. I am happy that you said that. Look, Koneko-chan is wearing a school swimsuit." Rias giggled and pointed at a certain cute Rook.



I turned around to see Koneko, the little neko girl was looking at me while she wore her school swimsuit, a rare look of embarrassment present on her face as she was forced to show it off. While she wasn't as well developed as her peers, she had the markings of becoming a beautiful woman when she would eventually grow up. And if her sister was any indication, then she was likely to become the next supermodel of the group. She even wore her school swim cap. 

The fact that her name was written on the small card was indeed very adorable, completing the outfit. As expected from the school's mascot, though, part of me was sad that Asia wasn't here to enjoy the moment. She would have definitely loved it here, hopefully she was having fun with Gabriel in heaven's domain.

"..." For some reason, Koneko just kept looking at me funny, her eyes darting between me and then anywhere else. I couldn't tell why but she has been behaving a bit weirdly since the last few days. 

"Is everything okay with you?" I asked, walking closer until she flinched. "...Koneko?" Had I done something wrong? She looked somewhat afraid of me in a sense.

"Yesterday, you smelled… weird. And it smells… familiar." She mentioned before walking away, I stood there with my eyes wide open. I wanted to facepalm myself, she obviously smelled Kuroka's scent, no matter how light it was. She may have accepted Senjutsu to a certain extent but the trauma associated with her sister was still very prominent in her mind. 

"Ara, is something the matter here?" 

"—!" I heard Venelana near me. I nearly choked on my spit when I saw what she was wearing. A bikini similar to Rias but black in color and even more daring with how little it covered while a beige shawl with floral patterns was draped over her shoulders. While Rias was a young beauty, then her mother was a mature beauty, her body more developed than her daughter. And…bigger in other areas. She was followed by Shuri who wore a white tropical floral, two piece ruffle bikini while wearing a necklace with a pink seashell and seashell bracelets on her right hand. Despite being in the same boat as Venelana in the beauty department and assets, her outfit looked a bit more conservative compared to the rest but not by much.  "I-I-It's nothing, just a small misunderstanding." I stuttered at first, finding this situation very awkward. 





I could understand why Venelana looked so young with her being a Devil, but Shuri was still human, and she looked like Akeno's twin sister for god's sake! What was her excuse for looking so attractive? I had to look over my shoulders, and was ready to dodge, expecting Baraquiel to show up and strike me with lightning for staring at his wife. This wasn't my fault, your wife was as dangerous as your daughter!

Though funnily enough, I noticed Shuri holding hands with Ophis, the latter wearing another school swimsuit similar to Koneko. 

"..." It was hard to gauge what she was feeling at the moment.  

Two hands pinched my ears before pulling them, I jumped to find both Akeno and Rias by my side giving me a scary look. Rias was glaring at me while Akeno had that hollow smile that promised the pain of a thousand Holy Lightning upon me. 

"I'm all for sharing you with other women but my mother is out of the question. I'll zap those naughty urges away from your body if you persist, my dear dragon."

"Don't think I didn't notice where you're staring, mister." 

Haa… I just wanted to relax, was that too much to ask?

{Break}

"1, 2. 1, 2. You're doing amazing, dear."

I sat on my deckchair while looking at the others having fun in the water. Shuri decided to take it upon herself and teach Koneko how to swim, after whittling the information from the embarrassed girl. She was holding the Nekoshou's hand and helped her out with foot pedaling exercises. Truth be told, I wanted to help but something told me that it would be better I leave her alone for now.

Still, it was fun to watch her taking small breaths in between with a "Puwa-" sound and pedaling her feet with her utmost effort. Somehow, seeing her trying her best was very cute. She nearly drowned when her feet touched Ophis who was floating aimlessly on an inflated float shaped like a donut like she was relaxing in a lazy river. Her senses must have ticked her off about something dangerous as she hissed whenever Ophis floated a bit too closely, the latter even started doing it intentionally. 

"K-Keep it up, K-Koneko-san!"

Gasper cheered for her from the side. Waiting for his turn given he couldn't swim as well. The boy was a hikikomori, I wasn't surprised with that revelation.

Despite my best effort on making him more manly, the young trap had reverted back to clothing preference after spotting it on our shopping trip. So instead of just wearing the speedo, he was now also wearing a vanilla cropped top, and a bright tropical floral skirt over it. He looked more like a girl now than before! 

I gazed around and found Irina and Xenovia both having fun together building sand castles. They mentioned how they never did such activities whilst in the Church, saying that whenever they had free time both girls would just pray or read some old sacred texts. It made me happy to see them actually experience little things like these and I hoped to bring them to places like these more frequently. Maybe next time I could invite Aika and Asia, like a club activity.

Suddenly feeling someone next to me, I turned my head around, and found Venelana standing right beside me with her gentle smile on her face. She was holding a blanket and something that looked like a small bottle in her hand. Was that—-oil? Sunscreen?

"Do you mind some company?" She said with a smile, which I hesitantly agreed to, making sure to stay focused on her face. I wanted to mention how I wanted to have some alone time and relax but couldn't say anything in the end. Maybe out of politeness, it felt rude to reject her given she was Rias' mother. 

She laid down on her stomach, using her hands as a pillow to find a comfortable position. "Everyone is having fun." Venelana said.

"Yeah… this was a good idea. Thanks for inviting us." 

"Fufufu~ No need to mention it, I could see it in your eyes that you needed some rest and relaxation. Plus I wanted to get to know my future son-in-law as well, killing two birds with one stone as they say."

"Son-in-law?" I couldn't help but chuckle at those words. "Rias and I aren't even engaged, I think you're moving a bit too fast there, Venelana-san." I loved Rias but talking about engagement and marriage was still far too early. She just came out of a forced engagement so I didn't think having another one so soon would be good for her. 

"I wonder about that, would it be nice if you start calling me mother or even Vena alone is fine with me." She said coyly, her tone reminding me of Akeno a bit too much. It felt like she was luring me into the trap with the stare I was getting. I tried to ignore it but she wouldn't stop, and I believed the woman knew exactly what she was doing as she watched silently squirm. 

Dangerous!

"I'm comfortable calling you the same way as I do now."

Rias, Akeno, where had those two run off to!? I didn't feel safe alone with this woman. At all.

"Say, Hachi-kun, would you mind helping me out?" She dangled the bottle of sunscreen in front of me.

"..." 

What the heck!

"D-Devils don't get sunburned! Also, isn't the Underworld sun fake!?" I tried to indirectly decline by mentioning why she didn't even need anything. But my words were ignored as she brought the bottle closer to my face. 

"I'm waiting~" she insisted, her voice sounding almost sultry to my panicking mind. "Plus this is a beauty oil for my skin, a woman my age isn't as flexible as during my younger years — so I need some help from a capable man like you." That was one of the biggest lies I'd heard in my life so far. This was beginning to feel like the plot of a b-rated erotic movie of some sort, too bad for them I wasn't going to fall for temptation so easily. This was just applying some oil and nothing more, I needed to be the mature one in this case.

"...fine." I sighed, doing my best to calm myself down before accepting the bottle. 

"Be sure to cover my entire back, Hachi-kun. And forget my lower half."

"Just for a few seconds." I said as I gently massaged her backside, rubbing the oil into her skin until it was well absorbed. I began rubbing slower and harder, feeling her body quiver beneath my palms. Then, I slowly moved my hands upwards, rubbing along her shoulders and making sure to not accidentally touch her bikini and cause an unneeded accident.

"Yes, please, keep going." She pleaded, moaning softly as I continued to rub the oil onto her. The sensation must have been pleasant on her bare skin with the seriously dangerous sounds she was making. Whatever was this product, it couldn't be ordinary, the smell was very intoxicating, it was almost addicting, feeling a familiar feeling stirring inside me. "Aaah~ That's nice, can you... go a bit lower? I need you to do my legs. That part needs some as well~"

Damnit! This woman was trying to pull some trick over me. 

I reluctantly obeyed, rubbing the oil onto her thighs and pelvis area whilst making sure to not touch anything I wasn't supposed to. She was breathing heavily, her cheeks flushed and her lips slightly parted. "Mmf, yes... that's perfect, Hachi-kun."

"Are we done now? Because I would like to go back to my chair and sleep." I grumbled.

"Oh, there is still one part you forgot to cover. My glutes~!" I froze when I heard that, it sounded extremely lewd! I couldn't believe this was happening, what was this woman playing at? My eyes looked down to her pert, round, bountiful rear– 'Stop!' No matter what, this was a hard pass on my part, I wasn't some goddamn virgin MC who couldn't control his urges and was incapable of saying no to a woman! No matter how tempting she may seem.

'Calm yourself! This is a married woman and most likely future mother-in-law! She is just teasing you!'

"You can do it yourself." I said dryly, my eyes twitching as I saw a small hidden smirk on her face. She was doing all of this on purpose to get a reaction out of me! I couldn't think of anything else aside from this…

"Are you perhaps scared that Rias will find out? It's just a simple massage after all, nothing else." I glanced at her suspiciously, my eyes narrowing. 

"Now I know you sent them somewhere deliberately, don't know why you're trying to tease me like this but I'll have you know that I don't particularly appreciate it." 

I got up, trying to keep a strong image but my knees were weak. This interaction took a lot more out of me than I expected, this woman was a bigger danger than her own daughter. 

She sat up, stretching her arm and body, her assets bouncing with each movement, but I made sure to look away.

.

.

.

I swear that I didn't peek.

. "Muu~ that felt good! I haven't had a massage like that since ages, you really are talented with your hands, Hachi-kun."

"You're deliberately using that kind of phrasing. I ain't gonna touch you no more unless you want me to get fried by thunder and vaporized by destruction."

She giggled, "Well you can't blame me for this, I just found your reaction very funny and wanted to see how far you would go." 

"I'd like to believe one of my skills involves having a perfect poker face." 

"So you say, but I could also hear your heart. You were anything but calm at that moment. And you hesitated a couple of times too when massaging me!" A mischievous grin etched onto her face, one that made a cold shiver run up my spine. "You're still very young to believe that you can fool someone like me. I'm from the Bael clan, and I've grown used to picking up the smallest details in someone's facial expression. It's true that you're particularly talented at hiding it at your age, but still, there are cracks in your mask that some of us can pick up."

Oi, those were supposed to be my lines…

I was wrong this entire time, the true she-devil was not Akeno, Kalawarna, Aika or even Haruno — but Venelana Gremory. A being so devious that she made Akeno look like an apprentice and hid under that false smile of hers that hid an evil scheming smirk. Maybe the fact that Zeoticus was busy today turned out to be part of her plan as well.

"You're a scary woman." Those words came out of my mouth. 

"Blame Shuri, she showed me how fun it is to see certain reactions from interesting people." 

Yup, from now on, I would always put my guard up against BOTH of them. The last thing I wanted was to become a toy to these two Succubus Queens. No, they were worse than that, true demons. If only I had Asia with me, her pureness and innocent aura would banish all evil around me and save me from these degenerates. Playing the role of both my sword and shield to vanquish all sins around me.

"Also, I have heard from Sirzechs that you're trying to talk to my father." I frowned, not expecting her to bring up such a topic out of nowhere. Venelana's expression had changed from her joyful attitude to the serious one that I saw last night. "Though I have not been informed about the matter in particular, I can tell you right now that no matter what it is — he will not care." 

"Even with Sirzechs by my side?" Surely having Lucifer supporting me would help me get an audience with one of the oldest Devils in the Underworld. My reputation itself wasn't anything to scoff at, I didn't like to brag but my notoriety still remained quite strong across the supernatural world and I now counted as someone who could take on a Cadre. 

Unfortunately, Venelana just shook her head. "Even if you have all four Maous by your side, he wouldn't bat an eye. You must understand, though my son and his entourage are considered the strongest power wise — they still don't hold a candle to Zekram's influence. My father is the leader of the Great King Faction with influence on par with the Four Great Maou. They have no Super Devils but he still gives my son and his allies a lot of headaches on the daily. My father is cunning, cruel and arrogant beyond measure, but he knows how to control his emotions depending on the political climate and always take the right decision. He cannot be swayed by mere words and even less a human, I know this sounds rude but that's the kind of person Zekram Bael is." 

This old man was a bigger problem than I anticipated. "But wait, I heard he stepped down as the head a few centuries ago."

"You are correct." Venelana said, crossing her arms which further emphasized her assets. "My brother is the current head, Zall Bael. He hates humans and looks down upon them very much, he is blinded by his arrogance and fails to see the bigger picture in every case. In his eyes, only those who hold the blood of Bael along with wielding the clan's power of Destruction are worthy of his attention. Just looking at everything he has done to his own son makes me sick, forget about ever convincing him about anything that doesn't involve making the clan stronger." 

Hm, this indeed seemed like a tricky position to be in, but I would hold back my judgment until I got any word from Sirzechs. I trusted the man to be capable enough to deliver me some good news, no matter how small it may be. 

"I'll keep that in mind," was all I could say, still making it clear that I wasn't going to give up in this matter.

"Ara~ Ara~! You're quite tenacious! I like that in a man. Now, I believe you have a special lady waiting for you." She said curtly before laying back on her blanket, with a serene expression on her face coupled with a satisfied smile. She knew her part was done and I became a puppet she managed to expertly manipulate for a small period of time.

"..."

Goosebumps spread across my body when I heard her say that. No… it couldn't be.

"Hachi-kun…" 

I slowly turned my head to see two shadows standing near me — it was none other than Rias.

"Before you kill me, I want to see that I'm just a victim and the true culprit is this woman behind m—" I was cut off immediately with Rias grabbing hold of my arm and dragging me over somewhere far away from the others. I expected to be destroyed, but what she said next threw me completely off guard.

"Do you want to rub oil on my breasts?"

"..." That didn't sound right, I was expecting more of a violent reaction or a threat about me sleeping on the couch, which would have been funny given we don't even share a room here. "Wait, what?"

She responded with a pout, "Since you can't keep your hands off of other women or my mother, then I'll make sure you can't even think of them with me here." 

I wanted to cry, it wasn't me who started the whole massage thing, your mom literally forced me into it. 

I was the victim here!

"Hachi-kun, Rias-chan, what are you two doing here all alone~?"

I felt something large, soft and warm pressing against my back. T-This feeling… I knew exactly what it was, who it was. After turning my head back, unexpectedly Akeno's face appeared over my shoulder. Her arms spread around my waist and hugged me tightly as I both heard and felt her breath on my ear.

When did she get here?

I came to a bone chilling realization that there was no sensation of a swimsuit on my back. She was completely naked.

Akeno was trying to kill me, that was for sure. No, every female Devil around here was trying to kill me with their bodies.

"Ara ara, do you remember when we were kids you didn't like hugs? Something about invading your personal space? Now look at you, staying so composed even if I hold you from the back." More like my tolerance grew exponentially, I still preferred to have my personal space. But then again, Akeno was quite clingy from day one. "It's also unfair that it's just Buchou having all the fun. You two had your moment last time, now I want some attention as well~!" Akeno said while pressing herself closer, intentionally rubbing her breasts across my back. 

The pointed tips, this stiff swelling feeling as well. The girl was actually getting turned on seeing me struggle to keep myself under control. Her sadistic nature was taking over quickly.

This world really changed me far too much, even as I was focusing on anything other than what was going on, I couldn't help but notice the warmth, the softness, even her heartbeat, it was really amazing to have her this close. I can feel the difference in thickness and heaviness with each motion.

Would people get nosebleeds in such cases? 

"H-Hey, Akeno. You know my oiling hasn't started yet? A-And also I told you not to tempt my Hachi-kun like that, okay?"

'Your' Hachi? Who would have expected for me to have turned into an object at this point. But with how her eyes glowed with red energy, it was safe for me to not say anything.

With a quick pull, she snapped her swimsuit off with her enhanced strength, not caring about the flimsy garment. Knowing Rias's expensive taste, that piece of fabric must have cost more than my phone. Now they were completely visible, I could see her naked breast in front of me, jiggling from her quick motions. Her nipples were bouncing in a hypnotic motion before stopping right in front of my face. It wasn't the first time after all, we even slept together now that long ago — but they were still a very breathtaking sight.  

Akeno nuzzled her face on my shoulder, not caring about Rias actions. Just like that, our cheeks rubbed against each other. Her whole body started to move up and down, getting into the mood. Rias did not back down, she grabbed my hand and had them grope her breast as she moved closer to me.

"Hey, Hachi-kun. My King is being quite jealous, don't you think so? It's better to share as they say." 

"Ah!" I exclaimed in surprise, feeling a sharp pain, she bit my earlobe, whilst also using her tongue to play with it. I felt like my entire body got electrocuted, she had a kink with biting, at this point wasn't the first time she did this!

Rias huffed at Akeno's words, and moved closer. Her chest now pressing onto my own, before following Akeno's actions and started rubbing herself on me.

My mind went blank.

I was taken by the two Devil's around me. They were both nude, touching and groping themselves on me. I was losing my sanity and I feared for my life. Did I just commit a sin, I wondered? Was I supposed to repent or something?

At this rate, I might just die of pleasure. 

"Stop hogging him! That boy is mine! I definitely won't give him to you!" Rias exclaimed out loud. 

"Ara, did someone forget who's his actual girlfriend? And also, isn't it a bit selfish to snatch him all for yourself? Don't forget, I was his first. If you want, we can share him, right here, right now."

"I refuse." Rias said stubbornly, pulling me closer to her chest then hugging my chest. "He is my boyfriend as well, you may have gotten him first but I love him the most!" 

"Ara ara, that's an extreme way of saying it."

"He's mine today, we need to compensate for every day we've missed before we got together!" Just how long was she implying here? I was pretty sure her crush on me started for a few years… "That isn't a joke!"

Alright, I'd had enough. Using both strength and speed, I grabbed Akeno and dropped her on the sand near Rias. Both looked at me surprised by my action, as I stood over them "I came here to relax and the complete opposite ended up happening." My tone couldn't be any drier, but my blood was pumping with excitement. "First Venelana-san trapped me in her scheme and now you two are trying to rip me apart. Secondly, you two made me angry and I'm not going to leave before teaching both of you a good lesson. You wanted me at my worst? Then I'll give it to you!" 

Maybe my sanity finally snapped, because I wouldn't have ever done such a thing. Without hesitation, I dived for Akeno's lips whilst keeping my hands firmly on Rias' body, grabbing a handful of her breasts.

"Kya!"

"P-Please be gentle~!"

Not happening.

…

Back where Venelana slept, Shuri returned with Koneko sleeping soundly in her arms. Ophis meanwhile continued to float aimlessly on the water, bumping into Gaspers Xenovia and Irina from time to time.

"Hm? Where are the others?" She asked, unable to spot her daughter, Rias and Hachiman. 

Venelana smirked slightly, "Well, I think those three are having a wonderful time together. Didn't take much to make Rias jealous." 

"Oh my, how I miss being a young girl. Maybe I should call Baraquiel, that man needs to be taught a good lesson for ignoring his husbandly duties." A dark, sadistic light flashed across her eyes. After all, she missed her favorite toy very much and wanted to vent some frustration as well.

-Bael Castle-

Inside the main throne room where the current head of the family resided, red and blue magic circles flashed into existence where not long after two silhouettes emerged from them. 



One being Sirzechs downing his familiar armor and cape, followed by Grayfia who always accompanied him for such meetings. While from the blue magic circle appeared Serafall, who actually wore a dark green and black business suit she only wore for important meetings. Her cheerful smile was nowhere to be seen as she gazed at the figure lazily sitting on the throne with a hint of distaste on her face. But for the most part, she kept a poker face. 

Sirzechs had his usual smile, "Lord Bael, I thank you for accepting this sudden meeting but this matter is of utmost importance."

The man shadow sitting on the throne shook his head. "How can I decline the call of the great Lucifer? Please, have a seat, I'm more than eager to help you in any way shape or form. As a member of the family and your uncle, I can't just ignore my nephew after all." Though his words sounded humble, both his posture and tone couldn't hide the sheer level of arrogance.

'He's ignoring me.' The Leviathan noted, her eyes twitching.

At this point, Serafall wanted nothing more than to shove an ice spike right through this bastard's asshole but for the sake of her sister, Rias and Hachiman — she would endure this man's attitude.

But it didn't mean that she wasn't going to get something from the little dragon.
