[December 9th DxD/August 1st DBT]
"Teeyah! Hyat! Hyaaa-!"
"You're fast..." remarked Vahn, weaving between a series of three sharp, sweeping kicks launched at his face by Miu, who, as usual, wore a purple bodysuit that left very little to the imagination. She had requested a spar when he dropped by to see how the Sisters' training was going, but even with his parameters restricted to match her own, her attacks felt painfully slow.
"I'm not finished...!" exclaimed Miu, stepping forward, twisting her body, and springing off her left foot while tucking in her arms and contracting her body to accelerate into an aerial, cartwheeling heel strike. Vahn was tempted to let the attack land against his guard, but since Miu might view that as him disrespecting her, he slid into her blind spot, ending up behind her as her heel cut through where his head had been a moment prior.
Demonstrating the skills and intuition she had honed over a lifetime of martial training, Miu, after noticing Vahn had vanished, moved with the momentum of her attack, contracting her body and rolling forward across the ground before springing up, flipping through the air, and landing in a ready stance with her posture low, her left hand and foot forward, and her right fist tucked near her waist.
Raising his own fists in a loose boxing pose, Vahn waited for the exact moment when Miu tensed her body to charge forward before doing the same. She quickly anchored her right foot and attempted to knee him in the ribs, but he intercepted her knee with his right palm while thrusting his left hand past the left side of her head, his forearm grazing her very voluminous breasts as he attempted to knock her off balance. Instead, she used the leverage of his block to twist her upper body deliberately before striking at his abdomen with her right hand, hardened by her Chi, functioning like the tip of a spear.
'The best defense is a good offense...' noted Vahn, intercepting Miu's knife hand by raising his left knee, causing her to bend her arm, switching to a sharp elbow strike as she simultaneously swept her left leg and foot back, giving her the leverage necessary to knock him off balance, forcing him to catch himself by quickly stepping back with his left foot.
Taking advantage of the fleeting gap she had created, Miu dropped low, maintaining four points of contact with the ground and compressing her body like a spring, giving the impression she was going to launch a knee strike or something similar. Instead, the moment Vahn raised his guard in preparation for an attack to his upper body, she quickly spun around, her right foot shooting out in an attempt to sweep his right foot or potentially smash his ankle.
Shifting his weight onto his right foot, Vahn thoroughly grounded it, a jolt of pain shooting up his leg as Miu simultaneously clenched her teeth, the result of similar pain radiating through her foot. Despite this, she reversed direction, taking advantage of her already compressed position to launch a spinning, double-fisted strike at his face and diaphragm.
'This is surprisingly fun...albeit frustrating...' thought Vahn, smiling as he deflected Miu's tiny but powerful fists away from his body by sweeping his hands in opposite directions. She seemingly predicted this, shooting out her left foot to catch and anchor herself, but before she could launch another attack, Vahn sliced his hands toward her neck, the knuckle of his left pinky touching the right side of her larynx and his right resting against the left side of her nape, both vital spots.
Realizing she had been defeated, Miu, who had briefly turned statuesque, exhaled loudly from her nose before fixing her posture, standing upright with her guard lowered and a broad smile blossoming across her face as she combed the fingers of her right hand through her hair and remarked, "I had heard that you hadn't received any formal training, but your combat instincts and natural talent are incredible..."
"You managed to, quite literally, get me on my back foot..." countered Vahn, adopting a relaxed smile, cupping his right fist with his left hand, and offering a slight bow as he added, "It was a fun lesson...thank you very much..."
Not expecting Vahn to bow, Miu became flustered, waving her hands from side to side and blushing as she stammered, "I-I-It was nothing! In fact, I should be the one thanking you!"
Bowing nearly ninety degrees with her hands folded over her crotch, Miu loudly exclaimed, "T-Thank you for humoring my request! You really didn't have to, so I greatly appreciate it...!"
"Raise your head, Furinji-san..." said Xenovia, approaching Vahn and Miu with a small army of Sisters at her back, smiling as she remarked, "Can't you see you're making our Lord uncomfortable?" with her arms crossed in a way that deliberately emphasized her bust.
"Oh? Am I...?" asked Miu, raising her head and looking between Xenovia and Vahn, who, in response to her overreaction, had a slightly wry smile. Before she could even think to apologize, however, Xenovia uncrossed her arms, unleashing a tempestuous burst of pale blue Touki as she asserted, "More importantly, it's my turn! Then we can all hit the showers and soak in the bath as a group...!"
"Uuuuuuoh~!" responded the Sisters, their monotone voices producing a surprisingly pleasant chorus as they clapped their hands together, nearly in concert. Their enthusiasm caused the smile on Vahn's face to become even more cramped, but as he was already accustomed to it, he shook his head but accepted the outcome as inevitable...

Following a lengthy bath, where she had the privilege of washing Vahn's back, granted to her by Xenovia and Asia, Miu requested to speak to him before returning to her world until the following weekend. She was still a student, so while she dropped by fairly often to meet her growing number of friends and use the palace's training and dining facilities, she generally only worked Friday and Saturday evenings.
"You had something you wanted to discuss...?" asked Vahn, finding the way Miu nervously avoided his gaze while squeezing her right hand with her left exceedingly adorable.
"I do..." confirmed Miu, nodding. Then, looking up at Vahn with upturned eyes, she added, "But I also wanted to thank you again for today and for allowing me to always take food and medicine from the Dragon's Pavilion back home with me. They've helped a lot..."
"Your gratitude is noted..." responded Vahn, shaking his head. "But I don't need it. Most of what you've described are the perks of your position as a Third-Grade Maid. You've gone above and beyond to take on extra duties and responsibilities, so, if anything, I should be rewarding you."
Raising her hands and shaking her head rapidly, Miu asserted, "No, thank you! My wages are already too much for what little work I do! If I receive a reward on top of that, I wouldn't know what to do with it!"
"Diligent, as always..." remarked Vahn, exhaling from his nose and smiling as he habitually extended his right hand to caress Miu's head, causing her to lower her face and turn her eyes up at him with slightly puffed, notably red cheeks. Some of that redness was due to embarrassment, but not all, evidenced by how she gripped the front of his black and grey kimono with her index fingers and thumbs.
"My birthday is coming up on January 14th..." started Miu, her large blue eyes clear and focused as she revealed, "Once I turn eighteen, I plan to become at least a Second-Grade Maid..."
Though he was a little taken aback by the pseudo confession, Vahn didn't miss a beat as he nodded, adopted a broader smile, and affirmed, "I'll be counting the days..." with a hint of suppressed exasperation. He couldn't help feeling that Miu had been ensnared by the Dragon's Pavilion and the many benefits they offered, but since the same could be said for virtually every girl who chose to become a Maid, he tensed but didn't resist as she suddenly stepped forward, stood on the tips of her toes, and stole a kiss from his lips. This also caused her breasts to squish against him, but that was to be expected with a 98cm bust.
"Be sure to mark it on your calendar..." said Miu, sporting a playful smile and leaning forward mischievously as she stepped backward away from Vahn with her hands behind her back. Her face felt like it was on fire, but she did her best to appear poised and playful, even as the urge to squeal and jump around excitedly swelled within her chest.
"I'll mark it on every calendar in the palace..." responded Vahn, causing Miu to narrow her eyes, partly cover her mouth with her right hand, and exhale a pleasant giggle before promptly turning around, staring back at him over her left shoulder, and stating, "Keep saying things like that, and I really will become a First-Grade Maid..."
Having already produced her key, Miu opened the door to her world and stepped through it, holding Vahn's gaze with increasingly narrowed eyes before closing it with her right foot. Immediately after, she crouched into a ball, hands covering her face and illusory steam rising from her head as she couldn't believe her own audacity. Fortunately for her, Vahn resisted the urge to open a display to see her reaction. Instead, he stared silently at where her door had disappeared before closing his eyes and adopting a faint smile as he had Sis confirm the number of days until Miu's birthday so he could plan accordingly...

"I knew Miu was a smart girl..." hummed Venelana, snuggled up to and resting her head on Vahn's right shoulder as she watched her daughter, Rias, caress his cock while slathering it with her tongue.
"It certainly sounds like it," appended Rias, shifting her weight onto her knees and enveloping Vahn's cock with her pillowy breasts, kneading it between them as she added, "And from what I hear from Xenovia, she's expressed an interest in becoming a Devil as well. It appears constantly being disadvantaged in her spars against the supernaturally-inclined has led her to desire greater power..."
Punctuating her words, Rias lowered her head, skillfully tracing her long, crimson tongue around Vahn's glans before closing her eyes, swallowing the upper half of his cock, and sucking him off like she was trying to draw the semen directly from his testicles.
As Vahn closed his eyes, winced, and briefly clenched his jaw, Venelana carefully traced her index finger, encased in a white silk glove, around his belly button, her tone sensual as she commented, "Of course, becoming a Devil isn't her only option. Her gold-blonde hair and bright blue eyes make her an excellent candidate for Angelhood..."
Placing his left hand on Rias's head to indicate for her to use a tad less suction, Vahn, holding the crimson-haired Devil's mischievous, upturned gaze, smiled and revealed, "I was actually considering proposing the path of an Immortal to her. Her world has Chi and even faint traces of Mana, so with the proper medicines and a qualified teacher, I believe she can attain longevity through martial pursuits..."
"Oh? Do you have someone in mind to teach her...?" asked Venelana, her violet eyes flashing curiously. She had developed a burgeoning interest in the concept of cultivation after examining the world that Vali and his team had been thrust into. If they could nurture relatively ordinary humans into powerful combatants by supplying them with special medicine and having them meditate all day...it would be exceedingly advantageous for them as a burgeoning, transdimensional powerhouse...
"Not yet..." conceded Vahn, his eyes narrowing into a smoldering look as Rias smoothly accepted the entirety of his cock into her mouth and throat before wiggling her tongue from side to side. Seeing that, Venelana knew his priorities had shifted. Thus, instead of continuing their discussion, she closed her eyes, buried her face into his neck, and suckled it gently while slipping the tip of her ring finger into his belly button...
