Chapter 45 - Chapter 45: Devil²

~Venelana Gremory~

Venelana felt the morning sun brush her eyes, rousing her from her sleep, she pushed herself up and stretched, it had been such a long time since she woke up this refreshed, and she felt like she had shed some weight off her shoulders.

And then she noticed her lack of clothing, and what happened yesterday night before she fell asleep came to her mind, bringing a fierce blush to her cheeks as she reminisced about how good she had felt yesterday by that boy's hands.

She couldn't but blush like a girl when she pictured those eyes filled with passion. Last night was one she wouldn't be able to get out of her mind for a long time.

She also noticed that she wasn't as dirty as she thought as she would be, she really hadn't looked forward to waking up caked in dried cum. She realized that he must have wiped her down with a wet cloth of some kind, making her blush and giggle.

'How thoughtful, even doing aftercare, I didn't expect that.'

It warmed her heart to see the care he put in, he even removed her soaked underwear, although she'd have liked to know where he put it or if he even kept it with him. Really, she didn't know where Rias could have found such a diamond.

She stretched a little, basking in the relaxation of a lazy morning and the afterglow before getting up from the bed. Unfortunately, her drunk self hadn't thought about getting out of his room without clothes. And she couldn't exactly call Grayfia to this room without revealing her little secret.

But before she could ponder about the problem more she noticed something on the desk. A long and large white T-shirt and a pair of shorts, like a pair a boy like Yuta might wear. She also saw a card next to the pile.

'Sorry, couldn't find clothes for you, take these as temporary.'

She stifled her laughter with her hand. He really had thought of everything.

And she couldn't help but notice with a twinge of humour that he had forgotten to give her underwear. Oh well, she put on the shirt but realized that the shorts simply were too large for them to stay up.

...Maybe he did not think about everything.

But then again, such clumsiness was endearing in its own way.

She decided to put on the shirt alone, thankfully it managed to reach down enough to give her the barest sense of decency. It was unexpectedly warm and comfortable to wear, she enjoyed the freedom, though, of course, it didn't compare to her custom-made dress.

She opened the door to go to the bathroom but an incredible smell stimulated her nose, she noticed it was the smell of food, curious she went down the stairs, and saw Yuta cooking in the kitchen while humming, and by the smell of it he was cooking something absolutely amazing. She came closer and he seemed to notice her somehow as he turned to her.

"Uhhhh... good morning Venelana-san, I made breakfast, Grayfia was gone this morning, she left a note saying she outfitted a room for you so... your replacement clothes should be there."

Venelana hummed, that was good, it seemed like she got lucky and wouldn't have to answer to Grayfia why she was naked and wearing her daughter's boyfriend's shirt.

Oh dear, what was she going to say to Rias?

Her line of thought was crossed out by a pleasant sizzle as she looked at what Yuta was cooking.

"Pancakes?"

He nodded with a smile, flipping it with dexterity.

"Yes, it's almost done Venelana-san. Please take a seat." He wasn't looking at her in the face. How cute, the contrast between how adorable he was right now and how he was last night was very apparent.

She took a seat on the table and watched as 4 hands made of darkness brewed a tea and brought it over to her without him even turning towards her. She took a sip and shrugged her shoulders, it was not great but she was a guest here.

"Good morning Venelana-san, Yuta-san are you cooking pancakes!?" Venelana turned to see Asia walk down the stairs dressed in her Kuoh Academy Uniform with an excited expression.

She didn't know why she was so excited before some pancakes were placed in front of her, she grabbed her knife and fork and cut a portion of the chocolate and banana pancake and-

"Mhh~"

She couldn't help but moan as the flavours mixed together and melted on her tongue, the pancakes were so soft and fluffy yet held their shape so well, the chocolate's sweetness and the banana's fruity and rich taste made for one of the best meals she had ever eaten, she even felt her exhaustion and the tenseness in her muscles basically melt away.

"This is incredible Yuta-kun, how did you make these?"

He simply quirked his lips and shook his head.

"Frankly, I cheated a little, one of my abilities allows me to imbue the foods I make with my power, granting them magical effects and enhancing their taste. These pancakes are supposed to get rid of exhaustion and relax muscles as well energize your body."

He was a man of many wonders. She didn't know whether to shake her head or laugh and the incredulity of such an ability before deciding on just taking another bite of her delectable morsel.

"Regardless, your food is wonderful Yuta-kun, at this rate I might ask to eat it every day."

She was not kidding, even Grayfia's cooking did not have the same kind of rich flavour that Yuta made. In response he simply took another bite of his own food, his expression not changing one bit compared to Asia sitting next to her who was happily tapping her feet.

"I'm glad Venelana-san, if you want I can cook for you any time."

Venelana blushed a little, this boy was too good for his own good. Rias might have just captured the ultimate husband.

But then again... maybe her daughter could be generous?

~Yuta Yukimura~

After that morning where I was shitting bricks to see whether Venelana would blast me with a Power of Destruction and atomize me turning into a rather pleasant breakfast, I told Rias I would take the day off school today to go test out my new abilities.

I pulled out the slate of metal that Tiamat had given me before to go her Lair, I had already packed whatever I wanted, I gave a brief glance to my shadow.

Everything of note was stored in there, 8 lunch boxes, 4 Hlanith Wines, and some books for Tiamat in case she was interested in reading some manga. Shadow Storage was incredibly nifty and easy to use.

Without further ado, I injected my demonic power into the slate and it started glowing before the world around me shifted, I was more accurately able to tell the feeling of teleportation after using Void Travel so many times.

"Yukimura? You're here? Have you come to entertain me? I certainly hope you've brought some wine and snacks."

The first that graced my eyes was Tiamat lounging languidly on her couch, smiling lightly upon seeing me teleport in and nod my head.

"Yes, I have also brought some offerings to your treasury Tiamat-san, I was also going to ask if I could get some help for training." Tiamat raised an eyebrow as my shadow extended and morphed before releasing the 4 bottles of wine and the still-warm boxes of meals.

"Offerings? You certainly work quickly Yukimura, I have said this before but you do not need to make offerings to visit me. I am strong and smart enough to have plenty of free time unlike those Satans or Cadre's."

Despite her words, Tiamat still smiled and used a spell to levitate my meals towards herself while I cleared my throat.

"So... Tiamat-san, I may or may not have been given an Excalibur from my ability." Her eyes widened before her brows furrowed as she gave me an expression of confusion.

"I don't think that should be the case Yukimura, or else you would have been killed by the Church a long time ago, they are rather protective of their precious Excalibur. Well, I suppose I have to judge it myself, bring it out." Now I was very glad I hadn't mentioned it to anyone else.

Nodding I took Roxcalibur from the storage as I quickly jumped back, letting the ornate sword half buried in a large rock the size of a person fall on the ground. Yikes, just being in the presence of the thing is making me sweat and have my hairs stand on end, like how a man would feel in front of a lion.

"So... yeah, that's what my power tells me is the Excalibur or an Excalibur, it's just... still stuck in the stone, I also think the stone itself is unbreakable, the only way to use the sword is to be a worthy wielder or something."

Tiamat frowned upon seeing the sword, getting up from her seat and walking towards it with an intense expression, crouching in front of it while looking it over.

"How strange, it is certainly an incredibly powerful Holy Sword, it feels like Excalibur too, but it is definitely not the Excalibur, I have seen it in person myself. Truly interesting, you really love to bring mysteries to me Yukimura. You said this was unbreakable right?" I nodded.

"Well then, let's see if I can break the rock or pull it out. If I can't then it is certainly not the Excalibur as I can easily break its restrictions and the stone it's in." Tiamat put one foot on the rock and one hand on the handle and pulled.

"?"

It did not budge.

Her expression turned into a frown as she pulled again, this time I could see her jaw clench and veins appear on her arms, the entire cave was shaking, including me. Tiamat released her grip on the sword and looked more surprised than I had ever seen her look before.

"This... how!? I couldn't even budge it! There should be no holy sword in existence that should be able to do that. Yukimura? Would you care to leave this in my care for the time being? I'd like to try some other things."

I shrugged my shoulders and nodded.

"Well, I planned on that anyway, I can't even touch the thing, or get near it really. I'll just be outside and summon a familiar, just call me when you're done." She nodded and I left the cavern to the clearing in front of Tiamat's cave.

Now I could finally meet Kon, my newest familiar.

I focused on the connection I had on the connection I had with the gacha before willing her into existence as the space in front of me folded before a building-sized Fox made an appearance.

...That's so badass...!

In front of me was a 3-story tall fox with a pure white body, her most distinct characteristic was the numerous glowing orange spiral-shaped eyes on her head, 5 above the snout in a fan shape with two others just below the jaw. She turned her head towards me, letting me see her razor-sharp human-sized fangs.

"Greetings Contractor, or I suppose I should say, Master. I must admit, you have summoned in quite a strange dimension, this place feels like hell, but it certainly is farthest from it. Were it not for my awareness of our bond and your abilities I would have been rather confused right about now."

Whoa, she talks. I didn't expect her to talk to me directly, Oro could certainly communicate and understand but she did not talk directly. At least I already knew that Familiars came into existence with basic information already in their heads courtesy of the system.

"Uh, hello Kon? Yeah, this hell may be a bit different from the one you know but I'm sure you get that already." She nodded, I was so glad, I was not cut out for explaining this stuff at all. "I hope we can work together well from now on, could you start by explaining your abilities to me?"

"Very Well, I suppose your obscene power does not come equipped with accurate identifiers. Shall I take on a form more appropriate for communication? I am capable of altering my form and taking on other forms." She speaks a little weird, she has the inflexion of a Japanese grandma almost.

As I nodded her form disappeared with a puff of smoke, and in her place was a smaller girl who staring up at me, she was maybe a finger or two taller than Koneko, and she had snow-white hair the same shade as her giant forms fur, she still had the same eyes, with spiralling reddish orange eyes. Her hair was tied in a bun, and the fox ears sprouting from her head and a large fluffy white tail trailed behind her back. She also wearing a traditional Shrine Maiden outfit.

My Tiamat she was absolutely adorable.

"As I was speaking of before. I am a Devil, master, though definitely not of the same kind you are, I am a creature born of the fear of foxes humanity holds. I supposed you could consider me closer to a spirit than an actual devil creature like yourself. I have to mention that as a Devil I require nourishment in the form of blood and flesh as I cannot regenerate mana on my own and need to eat to recover my power and reserves. So, could I ask that you provide me some?"

Yeah no, I instantly folded, she was like a Koneko but Fox edition. I nodded and transformed my hand with natural weapons before slashing my wrist and turning on regeneration as her eyes widened.

"Alright, drink up, I've got plenty of juice but it will regenerate back up soon." She nodded and quickly moved toward me, I noted that her physical stats were below mine. She grabbed my wrist and started licking before blushing and shuddering.

"This blood... I have never tasted something this delicious! I can feel my energy recovering very fast indeed. You seem to be rather remarkable master, if your blood is so potent I should be able to use my abilities without having to worry about exhausting you. But... ahem, I would appreciate it if you let me indulge myself right now. Understand that I have never tasted blood with such richness."

I guess it made sense, with my traits my blood would be so great, especially Helltaker and Nature's Embrace. I couldn't help but smile at Kon who was lapping up my blood like it was candy and patted her head, she looked aggrieved for a second for me touching her incredibly soft hair but relented.

This partnership looks bright already.

A/N: Venelana is not just getting rizzed but also romanced. Yuta is the enemy of all Devil Women, especially those with children. Yuta is simply too good at this whole thing, it's almost unfair. Just one more and castle Venelana will fold.

Tiamat is flabbergasted, she is in the upper echelon of DxD power levels but that means nothing to the Gacha, she can't even scratch the Roxcalibur, even if Ophis, Great Red and Sirzechs teamed up together they wouldn't be able to destroy the rock.

Also, Kon is here, the wrong kind of devil in the wrong kind of hell. Still, she is going to be a very useful familiar with human-level intelligence, natural contracts etc. Did you guys like her introduction?
