Noah appeared in the living room with Kaede and saw Miyabi and a slightly taller woman who looked like a slightly more mature version of her, with bck hairs. Miyabi also had somehow undone her usual blonde hair dye and returned to her natural bck hairs. It suited her just as well. Noah knew from the novel that Miyabi's gal appearance was something she kept for her life outside. When around her mother, she felt forced to act like a demure young dy who would never think about dying her hairs and such.

  Miyabi's mother had her arms crossed and was gring at Rui and Hisui when they noticed him.

  "Noah!" beamed Miyabi.

  "Hi, Miyabi. It's nice to see you." smiled Noah.

  "Noah, this is my mother. Mom, this is Noah."

  "It's a pleasure to meet you, dy Yuugaoze. Welcome to my home."

  Noah's appearance and polite behavior had their effect on Miyabi's mother, and she blushed slightly.

  "Please call me Miyako."

  "As you wish, Miyako. Is there an issue with my cute maids?"

  "Well, they need discipline. I asked them to help with unloading the truck, but they refused."

  Noah didn't answer and looked at Hisui and Rui.

  "She didn't ask us, she ordered us." shrugged Rui. "Didn't even say hello. We'd have helped if she asked politely. Alice and Cire are helping Lizel and Reina right now."

  "I see."

  "Oh, Noah, you're there." said Lizel as she descended the stairs. Reina was right beside her.

  "Hi, Lizel, Reina-chan. I didn't expect you to move in right now, but I approve. It's a nice surprise."

  "Hi, Noah-senpai, desu. I hope we aren't a bother, desu."

  "Not at all. But there is a misunderstanding I must be clear on something to avoid any future incident." said Noah as he looked back at Miyako; keeping his expression neutral.

  "My maids, are not really maids, in the sense someone from a devil house might be used to. Their uniforms are sort of a rolepy thing. They are my friends and partners, and will possibly one day be my lovers, too. Only I am allowed to give them orders, and I still make a point to say 'please' and 'thank you' when I do. To me, they are part of my family."

  Miyako paled a little when she understood the blunder she had just made. She might not have approved of her daughter throwing their fates into the hands of a human, instead of a devil, because humans had never won the Devil War before. They tended to be weak, compared to devils, and her family couldn't afford to lose again.

  But after learning that the human in question had easily defeated two devil candidates already, and was the one behind the Hagun Isnd liberation, she had agreed to follow Lizel's suggestion and move in with her daughter and Reina, to a pce where she wouldn't be easily captured and used as hostage, or anything of that kind.

  Since then, she had been pleasantly surprised by the size of Noah's mansion, and he was devastatingly handsome to boot! But she had already made a blunder and caused him to develop a bad impression of her. In a hurry, she bowed her head.

  "I am truly sorry for talking to them in that way. Please forgive me."

  "Your apologies should be directed at them, not me." said Noah with a small smile.

  Miyako flinched, and bowed her head to Hisui and Rui.

  "That is correct. I humbly apologize for my rude behavior. It won't happen again."

  Hisui and Rui exchanged a gnce, then smiled.

  "It's fine, we accept them. I am Hisui, and this is Rui. We'll help you with moving your belongings."

  "Thank you very much." said Miyako. She risked a gnce toward Noah, seeing his smile increase, and sighed in relief. Then she followed the two maids outside.

  "Good job, Noah." grinned Lizel. "Just the right amount of firmness and politeness. That's a hundred."

  "I haven't seen Mom acknowledging fault like this since father was alive. Usually, she's quite…stubborn and set in her ways." said Miyabi in amazement as she stared at the entrance.

  "I'm gd you girls are moving in. I wanted to suggest that soon, but it's nice I do not need to convince you."

  Lizel nodded. "It makes sense, if we need to deepen our retionships in order to be effective, and to save Reina-chan. In addition, it reduces our vulnerability, as this home has some strong people already."

  "Yes. I might take you a bit of time to adjust, but everyone here is a good person, and I'm sure you will get along with them. I'll help with the moving, and then I'll create a lot of clothes for each of you."

  "Clothes, desu?"

  "Yes. Since I can imbue special properties into the items I create, and as part of reducing the workload for everyone living there, I'll make each of you lots of clothing with self-cleaning properties. We don't need to do undry in this house, and whatever you wear will never feel uncomfortable, not matter how much you sweat."

  "That's fascinating. Can you make any kind of design? Or do you need normal clothes to replicate?"

  "No need. If you want something, just point to a picture on a fashion catalog or a webstore, and I'll make it for you, as long as your closet isn't already full."

  "We have rge closets. Easily enough for fifty full outfits" smiled Cire, who had joined them in the living room.

  "We will count on you, then." smiled Lizel.

  Noah grinned. Food, and Clothing. These were great tools to seduce girls.

  …

  After helping the girls unpack their things and make them a number of clothes, Noah teleported, choosing Suzu as his target.

  And he saw an interesting show. Two of them, in fact.

  Mittelt and Raynare were kneeling, their backs pressed against each other by leather straps around their waists and torso, and their ankles strapped to their thighs. Suzu had dressed them in bck ter stockings, gloves, and both wore the special leather harnesses promoting breast growth. They were gagged and blindfolded. Each of them had their wrists secured by leather cuffs behind their backs and around each other's, in a sort of backward hugging, and the short chain between the cuffs served as anchor points to a knotted rope passing between their legs. As they moved their wrists, the rope went slightly back and forth, giving them pleasure.

  And they were clearly enjoying the rope, from the moans escaping their gags.

  As the two of them were lost in their own world of bondage and pleasure, Suzu was dealing with Kawarna, hugging the kneeling woman from the back.

  The blue-haired fallen angel was gagged and blindfolded, too, and her arms were secured behind her back by a bck leather armbinder. She was dressed in a bck tex bodysuit, and her thighs were forced wide apart by a spreader bar. The crotch zip of her suit was open, and Suzu was stimuting her with her right hand, while her left groped Kawarna's breasts.

  She saw Noah come and nodded to him, but didn't stop her ministrations, and Kawarna was trusting her pelvis back and forth as she moaned lustfully.

  Noah grinned as he crouched near Mittelt and Raynare and started pying with their breasts. Their moans and squirming intensified, and it didn't take long before they both orgasmed.

  Suzu kept teasing Kawarna, but didn't seem to want to let her cum for a while and ignored Kawarna's muffled pleading.

  Once Mittelt and Raynare calmed down a little, Noah removed their blindfolds and gags, and untied them.

  Both of the girls remained kneeling, awaiting his order.

  "Present." said Noah.

  Mittelt and Raynare quickly got to their feet and adopted the position, their palms against each other behind their back, leaning back slightly to puff out their chest.

  "Good girls." praised Noah, and they both smiled.

  Noah created a pair of thick tex panties, a version that included a small vibrator, and gave it to Mittelt.

  "Put this on, sve, then kneel in front of Kawarna."

  Mittelt nodded and stepped into the panties. Once she pulled it up in its proper position, the vibrator was pressed against her love button.

  "This model is powered by your body heat, sve." said Noah as he used some of the straps and leather cuffs to bind her again as she had been previously. "It will start vibrating soon. not enough for you to cum, but enough to keep you from being bored as you watch the show."

  "Thank you, Master." said Mittelt submissively.

  Noah patted her head with a smile.

  "Keep being a good girl, and you'll be allowed to live with us very soon."

  "Yes, Master."

  Noah patted her for a while longer, and she almost closed her head in appreciation. He kissed her forehead, then turned his attention to Raynare.

  She was panting in anticipation, having realized that Mittelt being bound in this way with vibrating panties meant that their Master was going to do something with her that required his full attention.

  Creating a leather leash, Noah connected it to the front of Raynare's colr, and gave it a small pull, forcing her to make a step toward him.

  She moaned softly, but kept her arms behind her, gazing at her Master.

  Noah saw it, then. The submission in her eyes. The acceptance that she belonged to him. The desire to do anything to please him and earn a reward.

  Noah teleported with her to the room in his own basement that he had turned into a private bedroom, with a more reasonably sized bed.

  Raynare looked at it with anticipation.

  "Suzu and I are very pleased with you, Raynare. I think you are ready. Are you willing to sign the sve contract, and be mine, forever?"

  Raynare nodded.

  "Master, will I still be trained?" she asked hopefully.

  "You will still be disciplined. I want all my sves to experience bondage sex at least once a day, whenever possible. If I am not avaible, all you have to do is ask another sve, and you will both take turns tying up and pying with each other. That's why you will need to be a good girl and get along with everyone else."

  "Yes, Master, I will, I promise."

  Noah created a sve contract, and pced it on the table nearby. He took Raynare's right hand and removed the tex glove covering most of her arm.

  "You need one drop of blood to sign it." He said, staring at her eyes. Taking a knife from his inventory, he nicked her finger, and Raynare touched the contract with it. The contract disappeared in a small burst of fmes.

  "Master." said Raynare, smiling.

  Then she lost consciousness.

  Noah caught her as she started to fall and carefully id her on the bed. He healed her finger and held her hand as he waited.

  About twenty minutes ter, Raynare woke up.

  "How do you feel, my cute sve?"

  "I… feel great, Master." ughed Raynare. "Can I hug you?"

  "Feel free." grinned Noah.

  Raynare almost jumped on him, unused to her sudden boost of strength. They kissed hungrily, and Noah put a hand at the base of her neck, removing the Stop rune that had kept her abilities in check.

  …

  Almost two hours ter, they cleaned each other under the shower, dried themselves, and Noah dressed Raynare in a purple tex bodysuit, bck leather corset and knee-high boots with high heels, and bck tex gloves.

  "You look great. I almost want another round, but I have things to do."

  "Thank you, Master. I feel so… sexy." purred Raynare.

  "You are. For now, I'll have you help Suzu to finish Mittelt's and Kawarna's training. She is till your Mistress, and you will obey her. Do you feel up to it?"

  "Yes, Master."

  "Once they sign the sve contract, all three of you will come live with us. Remember how Suzu trained you. With pleasure, not pain."

  "Yes, Master. I won't do anything violent, aside from maybe spankings?"

  "Good girl. I'll reward Suzu and you once you're done."

  Noah kissed her one st time.

  "Go to Suzu now, and follow her instructions."

  "Yes, Master. I won't disappoint you!"

  Raynare teleported away, and Noah chose Kuoh academy as his next destination.

  …

  Irina took a deep breath, her heart beating fast, and knocked on the door of the Hyoudou residence. She waited, and waited. No one answered. Seeing that no car was in the driveway, she concluded that Issei and his parents were away.

  But, she thought she could hear a soft noise coming from the open window on the second floor. If she remembered correctly, the room behind that window was Issei's.

  Irina almost called out, but the noise sounded… fleshy…. An idea of what it might be came to her, and she blushed. Seeing that the street was empty, she decided to climb the nearby tree to take a look first, hoping she was mistaken.

  After years of combat training, climbing the tree wasn't difficult to her, and it only took her a few seconds to climb silently to a branch giving her a good vantage point.

  She peered through the window and saw a boy she quickly recognized as Issei. She could see him from the side. He was fapping while looking at an adult magazine. More magazines were strewn open around him, and the perverted expression on his face was… gross.

  Irina jumped back to the ground before anyone could notice her. She walked away, feeling disappointed. She knew she shouldn't judge him from seeing him doing something in the privacy of his room, but that expression of his, was simply too vulgar.

  Also, she had seen it, and it was…small. Kaede had told them that the dildos she had created when doing oral training were modeled after her Master's cock, but slightly smaller. Those dildos were still significantly bigger than what she had just seen.

  Irina sighed, trying to convince herself that size didn't matter, love was what was important. She decided to meet him properly at school the next day during a break. If she asked Rias, she would likely obtain permission to enter Kuoh academy.

  Until then, she decided to return to Noah's home. She was already making friends with the people living there.

  …

  Cire was pying with Hisui in the video game room.

  "Argh, beaten again. Can't you let me win a little?" compined Hisui after her character, a bulky man, was beaten senseless by a night unending combo from Cire's character, a little girl with a staff.

  "No can do. Video games are serious business!" ughed Cire.

  "I'll take the same character as you and get my revenge!"

  In the next round, Hisui tried to imitate Cire's combo, but was swiftly shut down.

  "Oh, sounds fun." said Irina as she entered the room.

  "Fun? I've been defeated fifteen times in a row!"

  "Sixteen." smugly corrected Cire.

  Hisui ughed and stood, giving the pad to Irina.

  "Here, try to avenge me, if you can. I need a drink." said Hisui, leaving the room.

  "I'll do my best!" grinned Irina as she sat down.

  For a while, Irina and Cire chatted as their characters fought repeatedly, but Irina failed to avenge Hisui.

  "I need some training. You're just too good." sighed Irina.

  "Hey, you're already doing better than Hisui. Just because you haven't defeated me doesn't mean you're weak."

  "Yeah… I haven't seen Asia. Do you know where she is?"

  "As far as I'm aware, she's in her room, waiting for news from the Vatican. She's, not in a great mood."

  "I understand… what Kokabiel said… I have a hard time accepting it, too. I'm trying to distract myself, but…"

  Cire nodded in sympathy.

  "Have you decided what you are going to do, if this is confirmed?"

  "…I am not sure yet. Xenovia is thinking about staying here."

  "…I'm not sure Xenovia is really aware of what staying entail. She may want to rethink it." softly said Cire.

  "…I think she has a pretty good idea, actually."

  Irina looked at the tex gloves that were part of Cire's uniform and finally decided to ask.

  "Say, Cire, please forgive me if I'm being nosy, and feel free not to answer if you don't want to, but… those gloves. Are you perhaps Noah's… you know."

  Cire considered Irina for a few seconds before she answered.

  "…I am not his lover, if that is what you are implying, even if things are headed that way… Has Kaede ever told you how Noah obtained his abilities, and how he grows stronger?"

  "You mean about him being able to share his abilities among his subordinates?"

  "There's that, too, but I was referring to something else. He needs to obtain them before he shares them…" seeing Irina's bnk expression, Cire resumed. "It's like this. Noah had been given the ability to collect what he calls Yin Points, and Yang Points, as rewards from his goddess. When he does good actions, like killing Hollows or healing people, he gets Yin Points. And to gain Yang points, he needs to collect sve girls. Because Lilith, while being benevolent, is still the goddess of Conquest, Lust and Domination at the end of the day, and she expect no less from her Champions. He can then exchange those points for various abilities."

  Irina considered this information for a moment. It made some sense, and at the same time, it didn't.

  "That sounds like a crazy way to gain abilities. Like some zy way to justify ensving women in a terrible web novel or something." she said.

  "I know, right? But that's how it is, apparently. Noah promised us maids to do an important thing for us, but he has yet to obtain the ability needed for that. If Xenovia wishes to live there, Noah will make her his sex sve."

  "I'm aware."

  "You are?" asked Cire, surprised.

  "Well… don't repeat it to others, okay?"

  "I won't tell anyone willingly, but if Noah asks me a direct question, I can't lie to him." warned Cire.

  "…That's okay. I'm sure Kaede told him all about it already. The thing is, after Xenovia and I became friends with Kaede, we got curious about, things between two lovers. We were both living in the Church's barracks, so we had little opportunities to learn about romance. But we're still girls, so…"

  "Yes, I'd also be curious in your situation."

  "So, when we asked Kaede a few questions, she offered to, not just answer them, but actually give us tips and techniques."

  "I think I know where this is going. She was essentially giving you a taste of what being a sve to her Master would be like, am I wrong?"

  "…That's one way to put it. 'Training' would be another. We realized early what she was up to, but we pretended to be fooled. Xenovia and I didn't really mind. It was a lot of fun, and we did learn quite a bit." said Kaede, blushing.

  "If Kaede is as good as her Master at making you like that kind of things, I can understand easily enough. Like those gloves. I disliked having to wear them at first, but now, I'd almost keep them on when I go to sleep. Still, it's a relief to know that Xenovia is well informed, whatever she chooses."

  "That she is… And I don't know what I'll do myself. If God is truly, gone. I'm not sure I can return to the Vatican."

  Cire nodded with a word, and they started another round of fighting. And another. after a while, Cire put the joypad on its charging station.

  "Irina, my turn to ask a sensitive question. Feel free not to answer if it makes you uncomfortable."

  "Sure." nodded Irina. After what they had already talked about, she wasn't sure any subject could make her uneasy.

  "Why are you working for the Inquisition? What do you want to achieve?"

  "My father was an inquisitor. He started training me for it as soon as I become old enough to hold a wooden sword. Joining in his footsteps was sort of a natural progression. But if you're asking me why I fight and train, that's easy. I fight because I want to protect innocent people, and because I want to do some good in the world."

  "Not because you want to achieve a highly respected rank within the Church?"

  "No. I do not care about prestige or sary."

  "And, the things you did with Kaede, you liked them, right?"

  "…Yes."

  "I'll offer you my honest opinion, then. Please keep in mind that I am biased, and I have a vested interest in convincing you to live here with Xenovia, so that Noah can do the things he promised me faster. But that won't necessarily make my point untrue."

  "If you want to protect innocents, you need power. And power is one thing Noah will give you. We have only seen a fraction of Suzu's and Kaede's power st night, and they will grow stronger as Noah become even stronger. You do not need to be part of the Church to do good things in the world, and I think you would be more effective, and possibly end up helping more people this way."

  "…I see what you mean." softly said Irina, thinking about Noah's powers. The immortality part alone would allow Irina to save a whole lot of people, far more than if she was limited to a few decades before retirement. She couldn't deny that the option of staying there with Xenovia and Kaede was, very tempting, for many reasons.

  Cire stretched and stood.

  "Enough video games for me. I'm going to find myself a can of coke. Want some?"

  "I'm going!" smiled Irina, shelving her thoughts for ter, and they both left the room.
