Troublesome Machines

While Alex was busy speaking to Mikogami, back in the space-time orb, Lala and Yami were receiving their first instruction on using magic before moving onto the real training and sparring. Though it was only supposed to be Lala, Yami, Rias, Grayfia, Shia, and Shizuku present, several other people decided to come and watch out of curiosity and a concern for their friends/family.

These included the rest of Alex's peerage(minus Yue), Sephie with Nana and Momo, Elizabeth, Mea, Haruna, Mikan, and even Akasha, who had followed Moka into the space-time orb out of curiosity. As the group relaxed a short ways away, with Kuroka providing a barrier to ensure that none of the attacks that were about to start flying disturbed them, Rias stepped forward and said,

"First things first, before we begin the spar I'm going to give the two of you a brief crash course in using magic since it didn't exist in your universe. Firstly I want you two to place your hands in front of you and try to channel a form of energy between them." Though Yami seemed mostly disinterested in using magic, Lala's eyes were practically shining as she nodded her head energetically and started concentrating as hard as possible while closing her eyes.

Her favorite show back on earth had been Magical Kyouko, a series mainly meant for kids about the magical girl Kyouko who solved all her problems by burning them with her magic flames. The real Kyouko who acted in the show however was actually a half alien, who had the power to control flames due to her heritage and was a close friend of Run's.

As Lala recalled her favorite show, she suddenly heard a series of gasps before feeling a warm sensation on her hands. Opening her eyes, Lala found herself staring at a ball of flames between her hands. There was a beat of silence as everyone took in what they were seeing, before Lala suddenly called out in excitement,

"Look mama! I used magic!" As she ran over to her mother Lala suddenly found her path blocked by a stern looking Grayfia who stated,

"Lala, the task was to create a sphere of raw magic power, not to create flames." This made Lala pout as she whined,

"I didn't do it on purpose...." This made Grayfia's stern look intensify, but, instead of saying anything more to her new comrade, Grayfia wordlessly lifted her hand and pointed it at a far off mountain. Then, before anyone could even blink, a blast of fire erupted from her hand and honed in on the mountain, enveloping it completely within the cloud of fire and ash as the sky roared and the earth rumbled before a wave of intense heat hit them.

As the minutes ticked by the cloud finally dispersed, revealing that the mountain had been wiped entirely from existence while an inferno raged at its ruined base, making everyone grateful they had decided to hold the training session in the desert sub-space orb so the flames couldn't spread. With a fairly pale expression, Lala turned back to look at the stern Grayfia, whose gaze had never left Lala's face before she said calmly and firmly,

"Magic is not a toy. If it is improperly handled by someone who can wield it, then it could result in devastating consequences. This training is not for you to see WHAT you can do with it, but so that you know HOW to use it, and how to properly control it." Grayfia's words, combined with the devastating demonstration she just gave, made Lala look down at the ground in contemplation before she finally muttered in a quiet voice,

"I understand..." Seeing Lala learn her lesson though, Grayfia's stern look faded as she added,

"Good. That being said, the fact that you managed to create and maintain fire so easily despite it being your first time using magic, and that it was such large amount, means you have both a talent for magic and large amount of magic power to work with. I look forward to seeing your progress in the future."

Not expecting the sudden praise, Lala looked up at Grayfia in surprise, before beaming happily as excitement filled her once more. Once she had learned it existed in Asora, magic had been the thing Lala had been most excited about in her new life, to the point where she had already began reading some of Rossweise's magic theory books to try and use it herself.

Glancing back at Yami though, Lala's smile widened when she saw Yami with a sphere of greenish-black demonic power between her hands about the same size as a softball. She then grabbed Yami's hands with her own, dispelling the demonic power, and happily exclaimed,

"Yay Yami-chan, we can both use magic now!" Though Yami's expression remained somewhat impassive in the face of Lala's enthusiasm, she still nodded in agreement and said,

"Yes princess. This magic is actually somewhat fascinating, I'm curious as to how it'll improve my arsenal in the future." As the two spoke to each other, Rias then added,

"The benefit of being able to use devil magic compared to usual spells is that our demonic power manifests in ways that are only limited by our own imagination, whereas other methods of magic require using specific spells or formula, mediums such as staffs or wands, or a contract with a being that shares its power with you." When she heard this Lala immediately raised her hand, before blurting out,

"Do you mean like the magic described in miss Rossweise's books?" Rias nodded in affirmation and said,

"Yes, these magics include for example Norse, Egyptian, Greek, Oriental, fairy, from the world of Tortus; and there is also the form of magic usable in this world, however these are only useable by Youkai such as Kuroka, Moka, Sun, or Kurumu. We won't be touching on these today however, but if you want to learn more then you're free to study them on your own time." Though most people would be reluctant when given the option of studying by themselves, Lala's eyes practically shone at the thought of being able to learn more about magic, whereas Yami's also had a weird gleam to them due to her love of reading interesting books.

Smiling wryly from the looks the two girls were giving, Rias then beckoned to Shia and Shizuku to approach, one girl smirking with a giant hammer over her shoulder while the other had her practice katana ready. With the four women staring at each other, Rias then said,

"One last thing you need to know before you begin sparring is the special trait of the 'Pawn', promotion. As 'Pawns' you can temporarily promote into any of the other evil pieces with the exception of the 'King', you can have the extra strength of the 'Rook', the speed of a 'Knight', the magic power of a 'Bishop', or even the combined traits of all as a 'Queen'. And so, I want the two of you to promote before you begin sparring with Shia and Shizuku." When they heard that Lala and Yami exchanged a look with each other gave a slight nod, before they both shouted,

""Promotion, 'Rook"('Knight')!"" With Yami choosing the 'knight' while Lala chose the 'Rook', they then looked at Shia and Shizuku confidently while pairing up with their respective opponent.

"Please take care of me." Shizuku said politely while bowing respectfully before readying her stance, to which Yami mimicked her actions and replied,

"Me as well please." While the two were respectfully preparing to fight each other, Shia was snickering lightly before saying to Lala as she lightly swung her practice hammer around,

"Let's have some fun, shall we?" Lala smiled widely at her, and said as a wand-like item with bat wings appeared in her hand,

"Yep, let's play together!"

There was a beat of silence after the girls greeted each other in which they simply stared, before Lala and Yami suddenly moved as they charged their opponents. With both girls disappearing in an instant, Shia and Shizuku had less than a millisecond to react to their attacks, which was more than enough time for them as Shia casually raised her hammer, and Shizuku did the same wth her practice katana to easily block Lala's punch and Yami's hand, on which her fingers had turned into a series of lethal blades. Shizuku and Yami then both blurred as they dashed away in their fight of speed and ability with a blade, leaving Lala and Shia by themselves while everyone else focused on their match.

As Lala cocked back her hand once more, Shia prepared to receive another punch from her but was surprised when Lala's hand connected, and she was sent flying back instead as her feet slid across the ground as if it was ice. Looking back at Lala even as she slid further away, Shia was surprised to find that in her other hand, along with the winged wand from earlier, was a capsule-like machine with a cutesy design to it, to which Lala smirked,

"Behold, Slip-Slip Slide-Kun!" Makes any surface you use it on more slippery than ice!" As Lala proudly explained how her invention worked, Shia narrowed her eyes at her in mild annoyance since it didn't seem like Lala was taking the spar seriously, though that was just Lala's nature in general. Swinging her hammer around lightly, Shia then threw it at Lala with enough force that it was followed by a series of booms as it broke the sound barrier, and even pushed Shia back even more across the slippery surface. Lala however appeared undaunted as she quickly summoned another invention in the shape of a cutesy mecha anglerfish, while crying out,

"Go Go-Go Vacuum-Kun(anglerfish)MK2!" As the giant hammer closed the distance between them instantly, it suddenly disappeared as the anglerfish mech opened its mouth wide and swallowed it whole, directly into the miniature blackhole that powered it.

Shia could only stare dumbfounded while being thankful she didn't use her beloved Dorykun, before she tried to apply pressure to her front foot. Her goal was to try and launch herself forward with enough force that the slippery surface under her feet wouldn't matter, but, the moment she tried, her feet slid out from under her and Shia landed on her face in humorous fashion.

"Nyahaha! Take that you dumb bunny!" Kuroka cried out when she saw Shia fall on her face, making those around her direct wry smiles in her direction.

Promising herself to smack Kuroka around a little bit after she was done here, Shia once again tried to brace her foot to launch herself forward, except this time it was her back foot against the edge of the slippery circle Lala had created. A victorious smirk on her face, Shia launched herself forward with enough force that she demolished the landscape behind her and the wind whistled through her ears as she honed in on the Devilukian Princess.

Lala was undaunted at her sudden approach however, as she fearlessly presented a mechanical hoop that expanded to a size large enough for Shia's entire body to pass through. Figuring it was some form of barrier or something, Shia intended to smash through before giving Lala a 'light' smack on the butt for annoying her, however she never got a chance. Passing through one side of the mechanical hoop, only Shia's clothes exited the other side to lightly 'smack' Lala as they crashed into her, with a still warm pair of frilly light blue panties taking up the rear as they landed on Lala's head.

"Where's she go?" Grayfia asked Lala curiously as she removed the still warm panties from her head, to which the pink haired princess simply shook her head lightly before saying,

"I don't know, Gone-Gone Hoop-Kun is random in where it sends you, but for some reason you end up naked every time I try it out...." As she trailed off Lala tried thinking on why her warp inventions still couldn't take a persons clothes with them, when everyone suddenly looked up as a voice shouted,

"Uuuuuuuup, heeereeeeeee!" Up above them and falling fast was the almost completely naked Shia, who only had her shoes and socks left for clothing.

Though there was no real threat to Shia for falling from such a height, Lala still didn't intend to let this chance go to waste. Calling Slip-Slip Slide-Kun a second time, she quickly used it to make the entire area that Shia was going to land on slippery, which also had a fairly slanted slope. Unable to tell what exactly Lala was doing as she was running around beneath her, when Shia tried to perform a 'superhero landing' her feet suddenly went out from under her and she realized what was about to happen a split second too late. The unfortunate rabbit girl was then sent toppling through the dirt and rocks of the desert, getting both in places she never wanted them, while also seriously debating on wether or not to stop holding back against Lala.

Meanwhile off to the side and moving at speeds that only a few could follow, Shizuku and Yami were well into their own match as both girls tried to gain the advantage over the other. While Shizuku had the speed advantage along with her other weapons and throwables, Yami had much more experience in direct combat as an assassin as well as flexibility with her 'Transform'.

One other distinct advantage Yami had was that Shizuku was still unused to trying to kill her opponent. She faired well enough in training and against monsters, but she still lacked that basic 'ruthlessness' and 'edge' that Yami had developed during her years as an assassin. She more than made up for it in raw skill and technique though, plus she had grown used to combining her sword skills with small amounts of magic to gain an edge against other sword fighters. In all, their fight was more of a masterful dance between professionals compared to Lala and Shia seeming more like they were fooling around.

As they watched the two matches though, Akasha couldn't help but look at her daughter before getting up while saying, "Alright, let's go Moka!" The silver haired girl looked up after mother suddenly before asking,

"What?" Akasha smiled wryly as she was filled with both pride and a bit of sadness as she explain,

"You only have so long before you leave our world with Alex don't you? Then I need to make sure my daughter can fight properly before you go." She then removed her dress to reveal a very skimpy black leather bondage style outfit before continuing, "From now on, when I get a chance, I'll teach you how a Shinso's supposed to fight!"

For a moment Moka was too stunned to respond to her mother, as she took in the leather shorts that were short enough that Akasha's ass cheeks hung out of it, along with its matching corset that was so small that it's only function seemed to be keeping her mother's breasts contained, with the only 'normal' part of her mother's outfit seeming to be the black combat boots she wore. But then Kurumu couldn't help but comment teasingly with a slight smirk,

"Wow, can we expect you to wear something similar when you fight in the future?" Moka frowned and was about to snap back at her, but Akasha interrupted as she suddenly said,

"Don't knock it till you try it. In most intense fights your clothes tend to get destroyed anyways so it's exhausting trying to maintain a sense of shame, plus these are easier to move around in than most combat outfits you'll find out there." As if to prove her point, Akasha then proceeded to perform a series of warmups while moving her body in various ways that many would find almost impossible to repeat, which only made Moka's deadpan stare increase as she got a really good look at just how little her mother's clothes covered her.

Before she could adapt to her mother's strange attire though, Moka suddenly felt an intense pressure beating down on her as Akasha entered a battle ready state. The mother-daughter duo stared at each other for several seconds, before spreading their hooked vampiric wings and launching new themselves into the sky to begin their own fight.

The bystanders couldn't help but watch in awe after that, as Lala used her inventions to 'play' with the still naked Shia, Shizuku and Yami made the occasional appearance during their high speed duel, and the mother-daughter duo made the sky rumble and roar as they danced above the clouds.(A.N. If any of you have any ideas for inventions for Lala to make, wether serious or funny, then please comment them and I'll try to incorporate them at some point if I can. I already have a few ideas myself, but I'm curious about what others might think of.)

***

In the quiet of the winter day, a lighthearted whistling tune could be heard as Alex climbed the steps up to the Misty Manor, due to him being in a fairly good mood after dealing with the things he needed to and now going to spend time with his children. After his talk with Mikogami Alex had taken care of another thing or two in the human world before returning to Asora, where he then made rounds to the Academy, the hospital, and then once more to Crystabel's clothing store to check on how the girls were doing.

At the Academy Tearju hadn't been given a class to teach just yet, but she was instead practically drooling over the equipment she had been given to carry out her research with, along with several students who were interested in the same biotechnology field to act as her assistants. Of course the majority of Tear's research would most likely take place within the space-time orb due to the time difference, however there were still plenty of uses for her lab at the Academy that she was excited for.

Meanwhile at the hospital, Mikado was listing a variety of machines and resources that she'd need in order to properly examine and treat her patients, while Anne wrote it all down to pass onto the Grigori for development. Once this was done she then spent some time telling Anne about the various patients and cases she'd treated over the years, including Oshizu and how she made her artificial body. While this was happening, the ghost girl in question was busy arranging their office with her Psycokinesis(ghost telekinesis), including Mikado's desk, Oshizu's own smaller desk, and a couple of cots for any over nighters they might have to make in the future.

After the hospital Alex had made one final stop at Crystabel's clothing store for the second time that day, where Ringo was happily sizing up some customers for some new clothes, though this led to her bad habit activating as she stripped and fondled the girls in question to judge their sizes herself. Meanwhile Alex did exchange a few words with Crystabel 'her'self, in which the monstrous magical girl reminded him about a certain werewolf that he had left on their island several months back, who Alex had honestly forgot all about. Figuring a few more days on hell island wouldn't kill him, Alex eagerly returned home to find his children before returning with them to the space-time orb for the rest of the night, when he noticed Yue appear from a small cloud of mist right as he entered the manor.

"Hello Yue, finished with everything you needed to do?" Alex asked as the vampire princess immediately made her way to his side, to which she nodded and answered,

"....Yeah, how did things go here.....?" Smiling wryly as she once again dodged the topic of what she had been doing, Alex gave her a brief rundown of the meeting and how Lala had joined his peerage afterwards, before finishing with how he had another week off before returning to his day job as a teacher. Her smile widening when she heard that Alex had another week off, which could be extended into nearly two months of he stayed in the space-time orb the entire time, Yue's step turned noticeably lighter as the duo made their way through the manor to find Remia and the children.

They didn't have to search for long though before an emerald haired rocket honed in onto Alex's gut, as Myuu then said, "Papa, you're back!" Alex chuckled lightly at her antics, and said,

"Yeah, I'm back Myuu. Are you ready to go into the space-time orb with me?" Myuu's face lit up when she heard Alex's offer, as, on top of getting to spend more time with her papa, she also got to play in the ocean surrounding the villa whenever she went in the space-time orb, which she couldn't do in Asora right now due to the snow and ice. However that was just a precursor to what was to come, as Alex added as Remia joined them,

"And then, in a few days if you're a good girl, how would you like to spend the entire day with your mama and me as we visit an aquarium and stuff?" Despite being held in Alex's arms, Myuu then practically began jumping up and down in excitement while Remia said with a motherly smile,

"Ara ara, that sounds wonderful, husband~" Yue frowned as Remia drew out the 'husband' part, as for some reason the way she put it grinded on all of the girl's nerves, though they'd never actually do anything about it.

After collecting the children, along with Mizore and Tsurura, Alex contacted the mothers and the group quickly made their way to the space-time orb to relax.

"Hey, did you hear?"

"About his children?"

"Yeah! I didn't even know he HAD children!"

"It kinda makes sense though, considering how much they do 'that'."

"Well, yeah, but 'he' didn't have any children!"

"Yeah, because 'he' was fixed! 'He' told me so himself once."

All around the space-time orb similar discussions were taking place as word of the arrival of Alex's children spread, leading to Alex having a wry smile for most of the first few hours that he played with them as the Pandora tried to catch a glimpse of his children. Even when it was nap time and Alex was stretched out on a recliner with Edith and Mai tucked into the crook of each arm, and Myuu curled up in his lap, a trio of Pandora couldn't help but to poke their heads through the doorway and spy on them silently.

"Let's go, we don't want to disturb them." One of them whispered to her companions, before the trio tiptoed away even as Alex cracked open an eyelid and watched them depart through his 'Domain'. Resisting the urge to chuckle, Alex then started to slowly move as carefully as possible, as to not disturb his daughters. Though he would love to stay with them and take a brief nap, Alex wanted to use the chance when all of his children were sleeping to go and check on Yami and Lala's progress, and maybe intervene depending on what Rias and Grayfia were doing to them.

After carefully putting the still sleeping Edith and Mai into a crib next to the one with Alec and Anna, and Myuu into the recliner he was in, Alex then swiftly and silently departed before any of the children could wake as he headed for the sub-space orbs. A quick check with his 'Domain' was enough for Alex to know that they weren't around the villa or any of the floating islands, so he went directly to the only place they could be.

As he walked through the villa though Alex couldn't help but notice that the Pandora he passed were acting even friendlier to him, with several greeting him with large smiles or even waving at him. Though this was mostly due to several of them seeing him play with his children earlier, it was also because they had realized how big Alex's presence was within the space-time orb, and the days they had experienced since he had left that morning seemed duller in comparison.

After a quick check in the desert and the jungle type sub orbs, Alex finally found them all within the frozen landscape as a massive avalanche thundered down a titanic mountain. If he looked carefully at the cascading snow and ice, then Alex could see the distinct shapes of Shizuku, Yami, and Kurumu weaving too and fro as they danced the dance of blade and nail, even on top of such perilous footing.

Meanwhile above them the sky sounded as if it was falling as four Shinso danced amongst the clouds while battling themselves, each clash triggering a shockwave that cleared the clouds and caused yet another slope of snow and ice to give way. Far off into the distance however, Alex saw others sparing through his 'Domain' atop an expansive ice shelf that was roaring with cracks as they attacked each other. That group consisted of Grayfia, Lala, and Shia, the latter two of which were naked for some reason, as Shia persistently tried to fight Lala in close combat while Grayfia fired off the occasional spell at her.

What surprised Alex, outside of the duo's lack of attire in the freezing cold, was that Lala immediately defended and returned fire with her own magic. Though it was fairly sloppy compared to a pro like Grayfia, Alex couldn't help the smile on his face when he saw how far Lala had come after just a few days of having her demonic powers, a testimony to the 'Peerless Genius' ability in her status.

After taking a moment to determine what was going on, Alex then made his way to the small group of people watching the two battles taking place, Kahlua, Gyokuro, and Sun, while Kuroka, Rias, and Yue were watching over Lala's battle with Shia and Grayfia. As he approached them Alex suddenly wrapped his arms around Sun's petite body from behind, making the small siren tense for a brief second before melting in the warmth of his embrace as she released a small sigh.

"How are they doing?" Alex asked her, to which Sun answered,

"They're doing fine. Lala has an unbelievable amount of power that she uses for either her tail or her spells along with her insane strength, which when she uses her inventions as well Shia usually gets more than a little mad. Meanwhile Yami has quite the amount of power as well, yet she seems to have a hard time using actual spells or energy based attacks when she faces Shizuku and Kurumu, but she makes up for it in her raw skill and technique- what?" Sun demanded as she noticed Alex looking at her with a massive grin. He then surprised her by planting a quick kiss on her cheek before saying,

"I was just thinking it was good to hear you talk so much. Before you'd barely say a thing even after using up all of your supernatural power, but now you'll talk so much without even thinking about it." The kiss, combined with Alex's praise, made Sun's face turn almost as red as Rias's hair as she tried to hide herself from Alex's view, a hard feat to accomplish considering she was still wrapped up in his arms. He was about to tell her not to be embarrassed of her beautiful voice, when someone suddenly sneered from the side,

"It's so sweet over here that I'm about to puke, blegh!" Alex turned towards Gyokuro with a deadpan expression while even Sun pouted just a little bit, though a very small part of her was secretly relieved that Alex's attention wasn't just on her anymore. Though Alex was about to tell the vampiress slave off, someone else beat him to the punch as Kahlua piped up,

"Mother! Y-you shouldn't talk like that!" Though she hesitated slightly as she told her mother off, Alex still looked at Kahlua with pride as she was starting to be able to stand up to her mother, something that would have been impossible to see before he branded Gyokuro as his slave.

Seeing Alex look her way, Kahlua also looked away shyly with her tanned skin gaining a hint of red to it, making Gyokuro gag from the scene as Kahlua awkwardly approached Alex and Sun. She then jumped as Alex suddenly reached out and grabbed her, before pulling the vampiress into his embrace along with Sun so that the three of them were huddling together from the cold, while Gyokuro was left by herself.

"What do you think of everything so far Kahlua?" Alex whispered in her ear, making Kahlua shudder slightly before she answered,

"Everything is so different now, I almost feel lost and I'm not sure what I should be doing anymore...." All her life Kahlua had dedicated herself towards her mother's goals, becoming an assassin, leading the Shuzen house, and awakening Alucard to declare war on the humans. Never had she been able to chose for herself what she wanted to do, and even now she was just waiting for Alex to turn her into another Shinso like her sisters for their strength. But what Kahlua never expected was for Alex to say,

"I know it's a lot to take in all at once, especially after you were randomly brought back from the dead. Just take your time and figure out what you'd like to do from here on out." Kahlua looked at Alex in confusion before she hesitantly asked,

"Don't you want to make me a Shinso to fight for you as well?" This time it was Alex's turn to look confused as he said,

"No? Did you want me to turn you into a Shinso?" Kahlua looked away as if she was contemplating it, before finally saying,

"I don't know, but I was sure that after you turned both Kokoa and Akua into Shinso you'd want to do the same to me." Alex shook his head to this before explaining,

"Kokoa and Akua were both the ones who wanted to become stronger to begin with, I just evolved them into Shinso to help them with that goal. If you want to become a Shinso then I can evolve you as well, but you don't really like fighting do you?" His words earned Alex a look of awe from Kahlua as she tried to contemplate what it was she really wanted to do, while Gyokuro looked at Alex incredulously from his wasting such raw battle potential just because Kahlua didn't like fighting.

As the silence began to stretch for more than a few seconds, it was suddenly broken as another voice said, ".....If you are unsure of what to do, then how about becoming my assistant....?" The group turned to find Yue standing there along with Rias, Lala, Grayfia, and Kuroka who was holding an angry yet cute looking bunny rabbit by the scruff of its neck.

"Where did Shia go?" Sun asked curiously as Yue led Kahlua away to talk, to which Lala returned an awkward chuckle while even Rias and Grayfia looked as if they were trying to restrain themselves from laughing as Kuroka held up the little bunny rabbit and said with a large smirk,

"Don't you recognize her~Nya? Though if you ask me it's an improvement." Sun's eyes widened in surprise while Alex simply directed a look at Lala, who was looking away pointedly as if it wasn't her fault. Eventually she admitted to the angry and kicking rabbit,

"It should wear off soon, please just wait patiently until then!" This earned her several looks of amazement, yet only Gyokuro and Kahlua looked surprised at the effects of Lala's machines since everyone else had seen what they were capable of the past several days.

Alex then gently took the annoyed Shia from Kuroka's grasp, making her calm down a little as he began to pet her slowly and soothingly. It was about that time that the group above them finished their sparring, and came down to see what was going on. As he had been about to greet the three Shuzen sisters though, Alex's words caught in his throat as he noticed Akasha in her combat outfit, and the state it had been reduced to.

Though Akasha was several centuries Moka's senior in terms of battle skill and technique, her daughter had been feasting on Alex's blood almost daily, while also having access to his system made Moka much more powerful than she originally thought. Because of this she had taken a fair few hits during their spar, and her clothes also ended up a little tattered and worn, except that with how little Akasha's battle outfit originally covered this meant that her left breast was completely exposed to Alex's gaze.

Glancing at it for only the briefest of seconds, Alex was still able to see how hard the pink little bud at the center was, along with the wave of goosebumps that followed his gaze, making him wonder if it was a reaction to his look or the cold. Just as this thought floated in his mind though, Alex suddenly felt his ear being seized as Moka then hissed into it,

"Don't even think about it!" This made a wry smile appear on Alex's face as Akasha nonchalantly covered her exposed tit without a single trace of embarrassment on her face as she commented,

"Don't blame him Moka, it was my fault for not thinking about repairing my clothes beforehand. It might be because I occasionally get memories from my soul fragment that was in the rosary, but I more comfortable around Alex than I usually be around someone I just met..." As Akasha trailed off thoughtfully though, the rest of the girls glanced at her in concern as they were unsure exactly what memories she was experiencing.

They didn't have long to think about it though, as the small rabbit in Alex's hands suddenly started glowing before there was a flash of light, and instead there was a naked Shia standing there right before Alex. Without missing a beat, Shia immediately turned to Lala and demanded,

"Why is it that something weird always happened when I fight you?! I'm going to stop holding back from now on so don't blame me if you get turned into pulp!!!" As she yelled Shia and the rest of the girls that had been watching her and Lala spar for the last several days recalled how Shia had been turned into a boy, been shot with a weird sticky substance, had her memories temporarily wiped, had her breasts disappear, was somehow stuck to place where she had been standing, warped into random places, shot up into the sky along with a firework, turned into an animal, and of course she had been stripped naked so often by Lala's machines, that even now she didn't bother clothing her naked body.

"Hiiii! Ahhhhn!" Shia suddenly cried out, as Alex mercilessly assaulted her fluffy rabbit tail with his hand so that she'd calm down. Of course that just heated her up in a different way, and Shia almost fell backwards before Alex caught her and whispered into her fluffy ears,

"How about you leave it at that Shia? There's no point getting mad at Lala, but instead how about...." Alex's voice suddenly got so quiet that no one else could hear was he was saying, yet a flushed and excited look appeared on Shia's face as she meekly nodded in agreement to whatever he had been whispering to her.

As everyone else was watching the interaction between the two with mild amusement, a certain pink haired Shinso instead got a far off look. Suddenly Akasha was face down in a bed with her butt up in the air, a pair of rough hands grabbing her hips as something impossibly large and hot plunged into her depths over and over again while her partner's waist smacked into her butt with each thrust. Before she knew it the memory was over and she was back in the snowscape with everyone else, except Akasha now had a lightly flushed look to her face as well that thankfully no one noticed due their attention being on Alex and Shia, except she also felt a forbidden desire begin to well up within her as she tried to look away from Alex's figure.
