Highschool DxD: Crawling x Chaos-Chapter 46: Mommy? Sorry. Mommy?

A/N: Hey guys, I am going to be releasing a new work I have been working on the background tomorrow. I got bored and started writing it as a snippet and my patrons liked it enough to be made a full work so here it is:

Title: One Piece: Greed's Voyage

Synopsis: Second chances are a privilege few get. Especially one where you have the power of the Gacha to explore the world of One Piece.

So what do you do when armed with the Chaos of the Endless Multiverse at your fingertips? You set sail!

~Yuta Yukimura~

I spent some time getting to know Kon better and testing her raw physical power.

Her strength was unsurprising given her stature. She could overpower my base form while I could treat her like an infant with Devil Trigger, but then again, there wasn't much in the same tier as me that I couldn't treat like a literal child when I used Devil Trigger.

Frankly, the amount of shadow and infernal stuff that I had synergizing was almost improbable.

Unfortunately, other than her raw power she did not have much in the form of powers. She could shapeshift since Yokai were associated with foxes so they fit into her powerset. And unlike her original world, she no longer got stronger according to the amount of fear humanity held toward Foxes.

But theoretically, she could still get stronger by consuming mana and training like a regular living being as well as making contracts like a regular devil. I would also have to ask Akeno to try and teach her magic, if she could use magic it would be very useful for me.

Because I myself couldn't use magic.

...Yeah, as I have discovered, Magic simply doesn't mesh with me. I have been trying to learn it for the better part of a month with no progress. Not even a spark. I could use my demonic power and activate artifacts but the act of shaping magical power outside of my powers was not something I could do.

I had a feeling the Gacha was to blame, most likely because of my Esper trait and how it interacts with Demonic Power. Demonic Power was extremely intertwined with their user's personality and disposition as well as their nature.

For example, a Phenex excels in Wind and Fire magic yet can do practically no Water and Ice magic. The Sitri are masters of Water and Ice magic and cannot use Fire magic effectively.

In the same vein, as an Esper, in exchange for my abilities getting a massive boost in comprehension, training speed and versatility I lost my ability to shape magic. And I had a feeling I wasn't going to be going hocus pocus anytime soon unless I got something that allowed me to use it from the Item Gacha or a trait like Magician from the Trait Gacha.

Long story short, because I pulled Esper the gacha put all of my class levels into Esper and nothing to Magician.

On the topic of items, I returned to Tiamat's lair with Kon inside my familiar storage to see Tiamat still looking at the Roxcalibur in curiosity while I tried to put it outside my vision. My holy sensitivity really sucked, as I walked in Tiamat turned to me.

"Oh welcome back, Yukimura. Although I have said I would look at it this artefact truly befuddles me, unless Great Red himself made this rock there is no way it would be able to withstand my strength. You have truly brought a wonderous item before me."

I nodded along, I didn't expect Tiamat to be able to break the Rox part of the Roxcalibur, if the system could get me a bottle of wine from an Outer God's stash in another layer of reality it could create a truly unbreakable rock.

A rock containing a sword that was less than worthless to me.

"So, do you like it? If you like it, you can keep it, I'm not gonna use it anyhow. And I did promise to refill your Hoard, this seems like a good start."

Tiamat looked into my eyes with an appraising expression in her eyes, although I wasn't confident in being able to read the microexpressions of Dragon Deities older than modern civilization she looked truly befuddled.

"Are you certain Yukimura? As much as I would love to have such an artefact, I never expected such a valuable artefact from you. Truthfully, the Church would hand over a small country's worth of wealth for such a relic and the Grigori would give an actual country for it. Why would you be willing to part with it so easily?"

I thought about it for a moment. It was true, I could probably ask a ludicrous price for it, but did I really care?

I shrugged.

"Yeah, I probably could sell it for a whole lot more." Tiamat looked at me intently. "But I would much rather give it to you. I value you much more than anything the Church and Grigori could give me."

Tiamat looked at my face in shock, I didn't even think much about my answer, I liked speaking my mind but I quickly realized how creepy my words could have sounded and was just about to backpedal when Tiamat chuckled and stood up with a loud and hearty laugh.

"Hahaha! Oh dear, I didn't know I could feel like such a maiden after all of this time!" She walked closer to me before wrapping her arms around me and pulling me into a crushing hug, due to our height difference, my face ended up trapped between her large chasms in an indescribably pleasurable prison.

"If that is your honest desire then I shall accept it Yukimura- no, Yuta. That honesty of yours is truly refreshing." She released me from the prison that I held no desire to escape from and still held me, like I was a kitten by the armpits.

Tiamat was a tall girl.

"Nevertheless, I cannot in good faith allow you to walk away empty-handed after such a gift." With that, she leaned down and pushed her lips into mine, kissing me passionately as I tried to return the gesture despite once more having no idea what was happening.

After a few moments of a hot kiss with Tiamat's unique serpentine tongue, she released her hold on me and smiled at me warmly.

"It has been a long time since I have acted so rashly but it felt quite refreshing. And I was pleasantly surprised at your competency Yuta."

I tilted my head.

"...Thanks?"

Tiamat chuckled again and released her hold on me and kissed me on the forehead again, she seemed to like physical gestures of affection.

"I suppose I have rendered you speechless. Now, I suppose you will want to leave Yuta, but don't forget to visit me plenty, I have grown rather accustomed to your presence, it will feel quite lonely without you."

I nodded and thought for a moment whether it was a wise decision before going for a hug with Tiamat myself as she looked at me with a puzzled but pleased expression.

"Don't worry Tiamat-san, I won't let you feel lonely, I'll come to visit as much as I can."

Feeling the embarrassment of my actions catch up to me I released Tiamat who simply smiled at me. For some reason, I kept feeling like a little kid in front of her. Probably because she was over a hundred times older than me in the most literal sense.

"Yes, I'll be expecting you Yuta. Now, farewell, I expect delicious food next time too. But I don't think you'll disappoint."

With that, Tiamat snapped her fingers and teleported me back.

As I arrived back at my house I stared up at the ceiling trying to wrap my head around Tiamat's sudden affection.

...That meant I was doing good right? It is rather hard to tell considering my experience with affection and romance have been rather unusual for most of my life to be honest.

"Oh? Yuta-kun? Where did you come from?"

I turned my head to see Venelana sitting on the couch watching TV with a notepad in front of her, from what little I could see of the writings they looked like they were notes on me, being important enough to have notes taken about me felt rather nice.

"I came back from visiting Tiamat, I just delivered her meal and wine and gave her some items I didn't use."

She furrowed her brows and lifted a finger as if to say something but thought better of it and just shook her head instead.

"You certainly do say whatever comes to your mind." I was not a man who enjoyed lies and deception, lying to your loved ones was just unnecessary stress.

She shook her head and patted the pillow next to her, motioning for me to sit which I did. Once I sat down it was easy to smell her expensive rose perfume from this distance.

"Since you are already here and free, would you like some lessons from me Yuta-kun? Of course, nothing boring, I just thought that you should know some things about Devil society that Rias might have neglected to tell you is all. While I don't want to bore you, not knowing these things could hurt you pretty bad."

I craned my neck and closed my eyes. Politics sounded like a massive pain in the ass I didn't want to deal with, but you rarely got a choice about dealing with pain in the asses so I nodded.

Better that I bite the bullet and learn now to avoid catastrophe later than to get caught lacking. Plus, turning down a lesson now would be rather rude.

"Sure, thank you very much Venelan-san."

~Venelana Gremory~

Venelana watched eagerly as her daughter's lover put his chin on his hand and closed his eyes with a conflicted expression.

She had been lecturing him about the political landscape of the underworld for the last hour, and more importantly, the importance he himself held with his multiple bloodline abilities. She liked the boy too much to let him be manipulated by opportunists and she couldn't let him squander his potential. So she took it upon herself to teach him.

In all honestly, he was not particularly good about the topic, he was good at grasping the general flow and direction as well as consequences but wasn't good with nuances and manipulation. Not that she helped it by constantly behind over to tease him by giving him ample view of her cleavage.

But after having told him the sheer power he wielded she was expectant to see how he would react.

She knew all young devils would be unable to contain their excitement at the thought, Devil Nobles would literally line their daughters up to get a drop of his seed in them. But unlike anything she expected whether it be a manic outburst or a lecherous expression he simply just... sighed.

"That sounds... complicated. Way too complicated. What do I even do about that anyway?"

Venelana looked at him with a surprised expression, she hadn't expected something like that. She was sure no other Devil would react anywhere like that.

"Oh my, I would have expected you to be a bit more excited about nubile Devil heiresses wanting to get your seed."

He blushed a little, scratching his head.

"I mean, yeah, that part certainly sounds... exciting I guess. But I prefer people I know. A pretty body and face mean little to me without someone I like I having them. And the logistics sound so annoying to manage, how will I deal with the attention?"

She chuckled wholeheartedly, she didn't know what kind of answer she had expected but that certainly was a unique one. But one that she very much liked. Though she blushed as the implications got to her.

'Wait, does that mean he isn't just interested in my body?'

That was... rather mature of him, and very hot too as much as she was reluctant to admit about a boy less than a thirtieth her age.

"How romantic of you Yuta-kun. But I suppose you will just have to learn how to manage it or get a lover for you who could manage it for you."

That was what she did for Zeoticus after all, she really wanted to know how he was faring without her managing everything, but then he had his harem to pick up the slack. He leaned and put his hands behind his head while looking at the roof.

"Yeah, I'm no good with this kind of stuff. I wish I could just leave this in your hands Venelana-san, you seem way better at this stuff than I will ever be."

Hearing his words Venelana laughed before the implications sunk in for her.

'Wait, is he implying he wants me to be his lover...?'

Venelena blushed and fanned herself, last night flashing before her eyes, no, the boy was dense as metal sometimes, she shouldn't take everything he said so seriously. But she couldn't but picture the image herself as she laughed and tried to make a joke of it to embarrass her daughter's pawn.

"Ara ara~ are you trying to say you want to make me your lover Yuta-kun? How straightforward."

She felt a giggle brew in her chest as she saw his face redden but contrary to her expectations a few moments passed, instead of denying her joke he just looked her in the eyes making her freeze up like a deer in the headlights.

"...Maybe I am."

"Eh?"

A/N: I may have a serious problem when it comes to mature women. I just cannot stop myself. Yuta is dealing critical damages to Tiamat left and right, and now she has marked him as her own, I wonder what the implications of that are? Regardless, it won't be long until she physically pushes Yuta down at this rate.

Speaking of Milfs, Venelana's last push is here. Yuta has become determined, no more pussyfooting around, he knows what he wants and he is going to get it. And Venelana's guards are completely down. So you know the rules and so do I.
