After spending several hours training himself, Alex exited the weight room and was unsurprised to find a small crowd of women waiting for him before they all headed towards the baths together, with Kurumu and Mizore clinging onto his arms despite how sweaty he currently was. While Mizore being clingy was an increasingly common occurrence with her birthday steadily approaching, Alex couldn't help but feel as if there was something on Kurumu's mind as well, leading to him asking,
"Is there something wrong Kurumu?" As if she had been shaken from deep thought, Kurumu jumped slightly when Alex called out to her before she quickly stated,
"Nothing! There's nothing wrong!" Though Alex could tell that wasn't the case, when he was about to push further Kurumu firmly shut him down and refused to elaborate on the subject, confusing Alex and the others as they dropped the subject.
The truth was that a few weeks after she had become Alex's pawn and dedicated herself to him, Kurumu had written a letter to her mother regarding her newfound relationship, of course leaving out the various details regarding his existence, basically stating that she had found her fiancé. She had been hoping to meet her mother again soon so that she could potentially have her move to Asora and stay with them, however when Kurumu received her reply stating that she was coming to visit, she was suddenly very anxious. Too late, she had remembered that her mother could be very overbearing and flirtatious, which Kurumu was becoming increasingly worried about for when she and Alex finally met, as she could very well see him accepting her mother's advances.
Kurumu continued worrying about her mother's eventual arrival, even as they had reached the baths and she started to absentmindedly undress and wash herself, before crawling into the nice hot bath. While the rest of the girls similarly climbed into the hot baths, Moka and Akua climbed into the one specially adjusted for the vampires of this world, which had been mixed with various herbs and potions to make it safe for them, and Alex climbed into the same bath as Mizore, which had actual chunks of ice floating in it.
"Ahhhhhh!...." Alex gasped as he felt the ice cold water against his skin, before settling into it next to Mizore and surprisingly Shia. She wanted to see if there was anything to taking an ice bath after an intense work out, which she had been doing until Alex arrived and needed the weight room, and so far the only benefit she saw was being able to monopolize Alex while he was in it. With her rabbit ears brushing against his face slightly, Shia cuddled up to Alex as if to try and get warmth from him in the freezing water, while Mizore did the same thing on his other side, both of their rock hard nipples pressing into Alex's own chest.
"Are you girls trying to poke holes in me or something?" Alex asked with a chuckle, earning a few giggles from the girls in response, as Shia slowly and sensually brought her leg up between Alex's, and Mizore's hand reached down to grasp something that was hard and hot, even in the freezing water. While he was enjoying being pampered by the girls, Alex leaned his head back and closed his eyes as he focused his thoughts focused on Mizore, or more specifically, her village.
Ever since he had arrived in the Rosario Vampire universe, Alex had been planning to invite her people, the Yuki-Onna or snow women, to live in Asora. While it could be said he had ulterior motives for inviting an entire race that consisted only of beautiful women to Asora, something Alex knew he'd receive endless grief from his wives about, his motives were purely due to their circumstances, which would lead to their eventual extinction if left unchecked.
As could be expected from a race consisting entirely of women they had a hard time reproducing to continue their species, the only men they regularly came into contact with being the occasional lost traveler. This combined with their dreadfully short reproductive periods, ranging only from the age of seventeen until their low to mid twenties, and with global warming reducing the areas that were habitual for them, the snow women could very well go extinct within only a few short generations with no outside help.
This was a problem that was made very apparent in the world's original timeline, leading their leader, the Snow Priestess, to try and forge an alliance with Fairy Tale by arranging a marriage between Mizore and one of their division leaders, Miyabi. Naturally the marriage never went through, though Mizore ended up having her first kiss being forcibly taken while Miyabi groped her, leading her to attempt suicide before Kurumu saved her. Similarly to how she had with Mizore, the Snow Priestess had used her power of precognition and arranged meetings between her people and men to ensure the continuation of their species until that point, prolonging their extinction at least a little bit longer.
Naturally Alex would put an end to this if the Yuki-Onna decided to move to Asora, as they would no longer need to hide and the women would be able to interact with other people freely, and the use of Regeneration magic could potentially increase the time in which they could conceive children. Even with all of these facts however he knew it might be difficult to convince the entire race to abandon their homeland, and with the transition of the phoenixes having taken place earlier that day, Alex couldn't help but think about his upcoming trip to their homeland for Mizore's birthday, even with her hand slowly moving up and down his raging hard on while Shia affectionately licked and kissed Alex's chest and collar.
"Bastard..." Akua muttered as she and Moka watched what was going on from their own bath, tempting Moka to poke fun at her sister for being 'jealous' even though Akua was merely annoyed at Alex's frivolous nature. Meanwhile in another bath, a certain siren was blushing furiously as she tried to avoid watching the provocative scene taking place before her, earning a few more giggles from the other girls at Sun's persistent innocence.
Similarly to how 'inner' Moka forced her 'outer' self to cover herself whenever she was in the bath with Alex, Sun was doing so as well due to being too embarrassed to take a bath normally thanks to Alex's presence, despite the fact that he had already seen her breasts before. While Sun looked away and tried not to listen to the sensual noises Alex, Shia, and Mizore were making behind her, she was suddenly grabbed from behind and pulled into the embrace of a pair of amazingly huge breasts whose tips were poking into her back, however the person who spoke sounded almost motherly as Rias said,
"I quite surprised you know, to retain your innocence for this long even though you've been around us for quite a while, it's kinda cute." Sun was silent at Rias's words for a moment before she said slowly, still becoming accustomed to talking normally,
"I'm just not used to it, and it's embarrassing..." As she spoke Sun tried to imagine doing some of the things she had seen the other girls do with Alex herself, causing her head to turn completely red as imaginary steam rose from it, though it could have just been from the bath. This made Rias smile wryly as she then said,
"You could always take baby steps, have you at least kissed Alex?" Amazingly, Sun turned even redder as she murmured,
"K-kissing should come later, after hand holding maybe...?" Her response dumbfounded Rias, as how innocent could a person be? Deciding to take matters into her own hands, Rias leaned down to Sun's ear and whispered,
"Here's what you're going to do-" She then gave Sun orders of what she was gonna do when everyone was done with their baths to increase her relationship with Alex, as apparently Alex himself didn't seem to intend to push Sun further than she was comfortable with, and the girl herself was so innocent that Rias couldn't help but wonder how she ever planned to have a relationship before. Then, before Sun could try to argue, Rias dragged her out of the bath and into the changing room, but not before whispering something into Yue's ear. Though at first the petite vampiress didn't want to listen to Rias, when she actually heard what Rias wanted her do an anticipatory grin spread on her face, but Sun was dragged away before she could ask what was going to happen.
Her unasked question was soon answered though, as when Rias was going through the wardrobe while looking for something for Sun, the sound of the smacking of flesh and sensual voices suddenly reached them as Yue kicked off some real fun in the baths. Though Sun started turning red once more as she listened to the erotic activities taking place outside, her attention was then taken as Rias started picking out various things for her to wear that night.
Later Alex walked into the dressing room looking remarkably refreshed despite the extra physical exertion, while Yue, Shia, Moka, and even Akua almost looked as if they were glowing from the attention Alex gave them. They then stopped however when they saw Rias and Sun, or more specifically Sun, who was dressed in a floral nightgown with matching slippers, while her hair had been slightly styled for the night. While she was acting bashful under the gazes of Alex and the others, Rias stated as a matter of factly,
"Sun's going to be the one to spend the night with Alex tonight, since she hasn't really gotten to spend any time with him." Though a few girls wanted to argue, they quickly clammed up when Rias pointed out their recent activities in the bath, making them realize she had planned exactly that from the beginning. Alex meanwhile looked at Sun seriously and asked,
"Are you sure Sun?" Though she was fidgeting under Alex's gaze, Sun nodded silently before turning tail and practically fleeing towards Alex's bedroom. Alex just shook his head while smiling wryly, but as he stepped forward to follow after her Rias suddenly seized his ear and stated firmly,
"I'm just giving Sun a helping hand since she seems too shy to actually try and do anything to advance your guys relationship, so don't you dare push her too far tonight!" Alex however shook his head and stated defensively,
"I didn't plan to, Sun's body isn't as 'resilient' as the rest of you are so I didn't intend to push her until she was ready." This surprised Rias and the rest of the girls quite a bit, as they assumed that Alex would readily eat any meal presented to him under the right conditions. The truth was that one reason Alex was holding back was due to Sun's petite figure, which was practically identical to Yue's. The difference between them however was that Yue possessed a powerful healing factor so, not that he'd do so on purpose, if Alex accidentally hurt her when they were together then she'd heal within minutes and be able to continue on as if nothing happened, which was also part of why Alex was able to be as rough as he wanted with her in bed, which Yue loved. Sun on the other hand didn't possess a healing factor of any kind, meaning that if Alex wasn't careful he could quite literally break or traumatize Sun when it came to sexual acts.
Leaving behind the slightly stunned girls Alex put on a pair of shorts and headed up to his room, where he found Sun sitting on his bed looking like she had mostly recovered from her earlier embarrassment, though her cheeks were still slightly red. Seeing Alex appear made her cheeks turn a bit redder, however that was it as Sun transitioned to a position where she was on her knees, and she patted her lap lightly while saying,
"Come here." Alex smiled wryly as he made his way towards the waiting girl, making her heart beat harder and harder as he crawled towards her on the bed, before he plopped his face down into her lap while sprawling the rest of his body out on the bed. Though she was even more embarrassed that Alex basically buried his face right in front of her special place, Sun instead became slightly huffy at his actions while trying to calm herself.
After taking a moment to control herself, Sun then reached out over Alex's head and started rubbing his shoulders lightly as she tried to ease his tensions and get him to relax even more. Though she had no prior training or practice at giving massages, Alex couldn't deny that Sun was fairly skilled as she targeted and meticulously worked at the various knots that had formed up and down his back. Though Venri's massages were mostly erotic, as she tried to entice Alex to attack her, Sun's was instead truly relaxing as she even started humming a tune, which made Alex start dozing off slightly as his fatigue suddenly caught up to him.
Sun however was amazed as she worked at Alex's back, both at how much raw and powerful muscle was contained within his body, and how 'big' it seemed compared to her fairly small hands. Naturally Sun also knew that Alex's back had to be big due to how pressure he was constantly under, both for himself and for all of those under him. After she became a member of Alex's peerage Sun had heard even more about the various feats he had performed, both good and bad, and the fights he had participated in and planned to participate in in the future, cementing her opinion that, regardless of what Alex himself may say, he was undoubtedly a good person.
That was why Rias had helped her come up with this idea to help Alex relax as, after an extremely long day of fulfilling his various duties and training himself to become even stronger, his nights were always filled with him attending to his women for several hours until they all eventually fell asleep. This way however he had someone pampering specifically to him as he relaxed himself more than he usually could, something Alex desperately needed even if he himself was unaware of it.
As Alex was dozing in and out, after what felt like only a few minutes but was actually quite a bit longer, Sun suddenly stopped massaging his back and said lightly to stir Alex from his daze,
"Ok, it's time to turn over." Though Alex groaned slightly from not wanting to move, as he was currently very comfortable, he still did as Sun requested and flipped himself over onto his back before opening his eyes slightly, seeing Sun's face looking back down on his. Sun then reached down and began her massage a anew, except a bit more of a blush crept up into her cheeks and ears due to the fact that Alex was actually watching her now, and she practically had to rub her diminutive breasts in his face to do so.
However as she started humming her tune once more, combined with how comfortable and relaxed Alex was before, it wasn't long until he closed his eyes once more and began dozing off. After nearly another hour of massaging Alex's front now, Sun was finally done, and felt it was time she herself headed to bed for the night, leading to her blushing once more as she just seemed to realize that she would still spend the night with Alex.
Firstly she had to deal with his head on her lap so, as slowly and carefully as possible, Sun lifted Alex's head and slid a pillow under it before lowering him slowly while he still slept. Once she had accomplished this, Sun contemplated how she herself was going to sleep as she had never slept next to a man before, prompting her to look back at Alex's sleeping face as she recalled what Rias said earlier and a sudden thought entered her head.
Drawing on every ounce of her courage to do so, Sun leaned forward and just barely brushed her lips against Alex's, before she quickly righted herself as if she had been shocked. After looking around to make sure no one noticed the scandalous act, Sun then gingerly tucked herself down at Alex's side as she curled up to him, remarking to herself as she did so about how warm Alex's body was. Though Sun felt as if it would take her a long time until she fell asleep herself, she soon found herself dozing off as well due to all of the mental fatigue she had acquired ever since the earlier bath, only staying awake long enough to just barely whisper,
"Goodnight Alex..."
***
The next several days within the space-time orb passed uneventfully as everyone diligently continued their training, until it was eventually time for Alex, Moka, Mizore, and Kurumu to return to school. Though all three girls were slowly starting to consider attending school to be a waste of time, especially Mizore as she planned to get impregnated relatively soon and would be unable to continue attending school as a result, not just Alex but the rest of the girls insisted that Moka and Kurumu continue attending school for the rest of the school year until they changed world's, as it was an experience that they wouldn't necessarily be able to have again, even if they attended Sona's Academy in the future.
Even as both girls were surprised at the others instance, they agreed that they'd stay in school for as long as reasonably possible since, if nothing else, it was where they'd be able to monopolize Alex's attention somewhat during most of the day. They made true on this during lunch, where the four of them were gathered around a table as they ate, Alex, Mizore, and Kurumu actual food while Moka snuggled up to Alex and eagerly sucked his blood. It was a normal day for the group, as students watched on with envy until Alex suddenly looked up for a second, before muttering,
"Uh oh..." Right as the girls were about to ask what was wrong, he suddenly pushed them all away right as a certain figure came hurdling out of the sky brandishing a giant mace while screaming,
"BIG SISSSTER!"
BOOOOM!!!
The ground shook as the mace collided with the table Alex and the others were seated at, shattering it instantly before impacting the ground with force. Everyone around them watched dumbfoundedly as the dust cleared, to reveal a young girl with red hair tied up into two bushy twin tails. She ignored everyone staring at her as she turned towards Moka and stated loudly while brandishing her giant mace,
"Finally, I found you big sis!" Moka stared at the girl incredulously just like everyone else around her, however unlike them she knew who the girl was as she muttered,
"Kokoa?!" This made Kokoa smile widely, before she declared,
"Just like before when we were younger, LETS FIGHT!" She then rushed at Moka without giving her the chance to do anything to defend herself, however what met her was Alex's fist as it connected with Kokoa's face and sent her flying away from everyone else. As Kokoa's body crashed through the trees surrounding the academy, Moka ran up to Alex and stated,
"Alex she's my little sister, please don't hurt her!" Alex however relied noncommittally,
"Don't worry I won't hurt her, much." He then strode forward while Kurumu used her mental manipulation abilities to get everyone to ignore what they just witnessed, before she followed after him along with Mizore and Moka.
Meanwhile the pile of rubble that Kokoa ended up under rumbled slightly, before it was blasted apart from the inside and the vampiress appeared no worse for the wear, but visibly pissed off as she turned towards Alex and demanded,
"Who the hell are you?!" It wasn't until after she questioned him that Kokoa realized this was the same man who's blood her sister had been sucking seconds before, infuriating her to no end even before Alex answered,
"I'm the man who made your beloved big sis into his servant, and has been satisfying her every night." When she heard this Kokoa's expression stiffened, before a single drop of blood escaped her nose at the thought of 'satisfying' her beloved big sis. She then recalled he also said that Moka was is servant, and shook off the distracting thoughts before angrily declaring,
"My big sis doesn't need some weaklin like you around her! And how dare you claim that someone as strong and amazing as her is your servant!" At that moment a small bat suddenly flew towards Kokoa before it changed shape into a giant broadsword as it reached her hand, prompting her charge towards Alex as she intended to remove this weakling before properly reuniting with her beloved big sis.
Alex however didn't seem to react to Kokoa's attack, as a single word replayed itself in his head, 'weakling'. He had long gotten used to people and opponents looking down on him due to their arrogance and ignorance, however the fact that he had been directly called a weakling had affected him more than he thought, and now he was irritated. Without any discernible effort Alex reached up and stopped Kokoa's broadsword in its tracks despite its weight, stunning the young girl before he suddenly said,
"How about a wager? I know you only want the Moka that's currently sealed, so if you beat me then I'll break the seal for you?" At this Kokoa's expression lit up as the urge to win grew within her so that she could finally get her 'real' big sis back, but then she felt as if her guts froze when Alex continued, "If I beat you however, then I'll 'punish' you for calling me a weakling!" Though she didn't like the idea of being 'punished' by a weakling, the look Alex gave her as he mentioned it froze her as an indescribable feeling welled up within her, a feeling that only her father had ever inspired.
Kokoa then leapt back as if to take a distance, refusing to admit even to herself that she had been scared of Alex at that moment, before saying, "Very well weakling! This great and powerful vampire will accept your wager, but don't be upset when I win!" Alex scoffed at Kokoa's words as, even though she was indeed powerful, she was seemingly completely unable to judge the difference between herself and her opponents.
She then surprised Alex slightly when she changed her broadsword for a naginata, a long spear-like weapon whose blade at the end was more like a sword, similarly to the one Tsubaki (Sona's Queen) would wield. There was a beat of silence as the two stared at each other, and Moka watched on from the side anxiously along with Kurumu and Mizore, before Kokoa suddenly lunged forward with her naginata as she tried to use her speed to suppress Alex.
Alex however just watched Kokoa's attack approach him, before he just barely shifted his body so that the blade of Kokoa's weapon missed him by the smallest margins possible. As the blade passed by Alex as if it was in slow motion he then reached out and grabbed the stunned Kokoa before she could react by the ankle, and swung her suddenly in an arch over head before slamming her into the ground, and then repeating the same thing on the other side.
"Puny vampire." Alex said in a gruff voice as he swung her back and forth against the ground without her being able to regain any control, her weapon having already flown away uselessly. Alex then lightly tossed up the stunned Kokoa, allowing her to float in the air briefly, before he too leapt up and slammed his foot into her side, sending her crashing back down into the ground with enough force to create a small crater.
Moka flinched as she watched the brutality of Alex's attacks, the urge to intervene filling her as she watched her precious little sister being beaten. However she didn't try to stop it as Alex always seemed to know where to hold his attacks, and she knew that they'd never be able to make Kokoa listen to reason otherwise. The girl in question tried crawling her way out of the crater Alex formed with her body, coughing up blood as she did so as she glared at him hatefully, as Alex suddenly grabbed both of her arms and pinned them behind her back.
"W-what are you doing?!" She demanded as Alex dragged her towards a nearby rock. He merely shrugged and said casually,
"You can barely stand straight and it's taking all of your strength just to try and struggle against my current hold on you, I'd say this is my win and true to my word, it's time for your punishment." Kokoa paled when she heard this as she cried out,
"W-wait! I haven't given up yet! Let me go and fight me like a man! You can't just decide you're the winner just like that!" This made Alex stop dragging her as he stared directly into Kokoa's eyes before saying,
"You claim to be a 'proud and powerful vampire', right? Well struggling when you've obviously lost isn't pride, it's pitiful. Accept your loss, take your punishment, and learn from it for the next time, right now you're just making yourself look pathetic." When he stopped speaking Alex sat down on the rock and made Kokoa bend over his outstretched knee, silencing any more protests the vampiress had as she muttered fearfully,
"W-wait a second, what are you going to do to me?!" Even as she continued struggling to escape his grasp, Alex just casually kept her arms pinned with one hand as he said,
"I told you, it's a punishment." Though Alex had said so from the beginning, Kokoa never even considered what he meant by 'punishment' until now, and her fear only increased as he removed both her skirt and panties, exposing her bare ass for everyone to see. As Alex raised his hand threateningly Kokoa then started begging, her pride seemingly forgotten as she cried out,
"I'm sorry! Please don't do it, I'll never call you a weakling ever again! Please, anything but that!" Alex however ignored her, as he suddenly brought his hand down across the skin of her butt, causing a sharp and crisp smacking sound to echo through the trees, followed by Kokoa's despairing voice,
"NOOOOOOOO!!!"
