Chapter 32: Unobstructed
After a relatively uneventful school week, Vahn was relaxing in the club room, his face slightly flushed as Akeno and Rias sandwiched him on the sofa, nuzzling and kissing the sides of his face and neck while caressing his exposed chest, abdomen, and lower body. At the same time, Koneko, standing in front of him, bent over with her hands on her thighs, swayed her butt from side to side, providing a view of her pink, cat-eared panties.
"What are you thinking right now...?" asked Rias, her expression and tone sultry as she used her right hand to dexterously prime Vahn's not-so-little brother.
"I'm thinking I'm the luckiest person in the world..." responded Vahn, his gaze fixed on Koneko's butt or, more accurately, the cartoonish cat face peeking at him from under her skirt. Ever since he confessed to liking her cute appearance, she had been taking measures to make herself appear even more adorable, specifically by wearing patterned underwear or sexy, animal-themed pajamas with paw-padded gloves and footwear...
"And you'll get even luckier from here on..." purred Rias, licking the interior of Vahn's ears.
Though he was tempted to ask what Rias meant, Vahn already knew as what she, Akeno, and Koneko were currently demonstrating was that there were plenty of stimulating things he could do with girls that didn't directly involve sex. Rias wanted him to be more accepting of his desires to better fit into Devil society, so while she wasn't outright telling him to have relations with Sona and her Peerage, she didn't want him dismissing it as a possibility.

Following the door to the club room opening, Asia made her way in with a silver cart of tea and snacks. A sense of panic washed over Vahn when he saw her entering, but before she could see what they were doing, Koneko slid aside her panties and sat down, her cheeks turning red but her face a mask of calm as she sat with her hands folded neatly atop her lap.
"Ah, Asia, excellent timing. As it happens, I was feeling a little thirsty..." stated Rias, directing a playful, narrow-eyed smile at Vahn while Akeno covered her mouth and giggled from his opposite side.
"I'm happy to be of service~" responded Asia, smiling radiantly as she parked the cart next to everyone and began passing around tea before setting snacks and other breakfast items on the table. She glimpsed at Koneko during this, but since the latter was almost always seen sitting on Vahn's lap, she didn't find it unusual and simply remarked, "Koneko-chan is very lucky. Vahn-sama's lap seems very comfortable."
"Nnn...it makes me feel happy and full..." responded Koneko, placing her right hand on her lower abdomen and offering a faint smile while causing Vahn's jaw to briefly clench as she deliberately tightened around him like a vice.
"Hmm? Vahn-sama? Are you in pain...?" asked Asia, tilting her head to the side as she noticed Vahn's ruddy complexion and the somewhat cramped smile he adopted in response to her queries.
"He's fine," assured Rias, unabashedly leaning closer to Vahn and licking his ear as she revealed, "Before you arrived, we were licking his ears and neck, so he's just a little flustered."
"Oh! I see...!" responded Asia, covering her mouth, her green eyes wide in surprise before she met Vahn's gaze, her expression turning apologetic as she folded her hands over her lap, bowed, and expressed, "I apologize to Vahn-sama if my arrival made things awkward or uncomfortable for him. I will leave immediately..."
"That isn't what's happening..." contended Vahn, feeling...perplexed as he felt that Asia needed to leave but also that she had just as much of a right to be there as him.
"Allow me to translate," stated Rias, gently scratching the side of Vahn's head and hairline with magically elongated nails as she explained, "What Vahn is trying to say is that you're free to come and go as you please, but he's worried about complicating things or causing you to feel awkward. In other words, if you want to stay, then stay. Just know that if you do, there is a good chance you'll witness something not easily discarded from your heart and mind..."
Unconcerned with the latter half of Rias's statement, Asia looked at Vahn with clear eyes, smiling as she stated, "If it's okay with Vahn-sama, I would like to stay. I enjoy being with everyone, and I think it's wonderful that you get along so well with everyone..."
Blushing slightly, Asia averted her eyes, confiding, "Though...it does make me feel a little jealous. I still remember how warm and comfortable Vahn-sama's hand and chest were when he cradled my head..."
"Yeah, it's almost uncanny how comfortable he makes people feel..." said Rias.
"It's much better than him making people feel uncomfortable," appended Akeno.
"Can I move now? My insides feel fluttery..." stated Koneko, causing Asia alone to feel confused until the cat-eared girl, staring straight at her with unblinking eyes, began to twist her hips, producing a tell-tale squelching sound.
"OH...I see..." remarked Asia, her voice going from loud to soft and her eyes as round as saucers as she held Koneko's gaze and observed her without looking away. Koneko was even smaller than her, and though it was unintentional, she had seen how big Vahn was after passing by his and Rias's room in the middle of the night, the sounds emanating from within compelling her to take a somewhat protracted peek inside. The fact such a tiny body could accommodate such a large object...it made her wonder how her own would fare...
"Now that you know, do you still wish to remain...?" asked Rias, smiling mischievously. She had orchestrated the current series of events after noticing Asia spying on her and Vahn for nearly two hours the previous night, so while she was no longer as concerned with converting her to a member of her Peerage, Rias couldn't resist the allure of seeing a woman of faith succumb to the base desires many within the Church condemned despite their God's earliest command being to be fruitful and multiply...
Instead of immediately responding to Rias's question, Asia lowered her gaze to the hem of Koneko's skirt before raising it to meet Vahn's, finding him sporting a serious, notably conflicted expression as he stared back at her. However, as he seemed more anxious than bothered by her presence, she eventually adopted a smile and reiterated, "If Vahn-sama permits it, I would like to stay..."
"If that's what you want..." authorized Vahn, feeling more than a little conflicted but not so much that he would insist that Asia leave. He had already made his stance and Issei's feelings clear, so if she decided to involve herself with him regardless, that was on her.
"Does that mean Vahn-sama will pat my head if it's something I want...!?" asked Asia, her green eyes glistening with expectation and hands clasped together as she seemed to forget he and Koneko were having sex right in front of her.
"Like...right now...?" asked Vahn, his expression and tone understandably incredulous as Rias and Akeno covered their mouths and tittered throatily at his expense.
"Oh...it doesn't have to be now..." supplanted Asia, flushing slightly as she, once again, met Koneko's deadpan stare. She got the distinct impression she was inconveniencing the latter quite a bit, so after hastily deliberating what to do, she sat on the opposite sofa, hands folded atop her lap and a very attentive expression on her face.
'I guess this is just what happens when you choose to get involved with Devils...' thought Vahn, leaning back slightly and hooking his hands under Koneko's legs, drawing them up in a way that gave Asia an unobstructed view of what was transpiring beneath her skirt. The former nun's eyes widened to their limits, but instead of looking away, she leaned forward as if to get a better look, her gaze fixated on where they were connected as Koneko, ostensibly enjoying being seen, grabbed her legs and deliberately spread them wider...

Appearing in the shadow of a three-meter-tall, club-wielding monster that resembled an overweight human with the tusked head of an exceptionally ugly pig, Vahn drove his fist into its stomach, causing the flesh of its belly to twist and distort as nearly half his forearm disappeared. Then, as the force of his blow finished transferring, the pig monster was sent skidding backward several meters, cradling its stomach as it collapsed to its knees and coughed up a large volume of blood.
"See? If you hit them really hard at the center of their body, they lose the ability to fight..." stated Koneko, wearing a sleeveless white, single-piece sailor outfit with a broad blue collar and a red ribbon in the front. Her old striking gloves had been replaced by slender crimson gauntlets, and her footwear, which typically consisted of tennis shoes or brown loafers, had been swapped for red riding boots with four belted clasps and metal toes.
As Vahn looked back, catching a glimpse of Koneko's pure white panties due to the gentle breeze and how short her skirt was, the monster, known as an Orc Peon, forced itself to rise, the indentation in its stomach rapidly reverting to its original state. Then, glaring at Koneko with a large volume of bloody drool dripping from its mouth and a desirous gleam in its eyes, it charged forward with intentions other than killing.
Spinning his body around on his heel, Vahn intercepted the Orc Peon's charge with a sharp, spear-like kick to the center of its chest. He would have liked to kick it in the face, but the difference in their heights made it difficult, albeit possible.
Despite the rather drastic difference in their sizes, Vahn didn't budge as the Orc Peon's sternum fractured, its organs ruptured, and each of its ribs fragmented as it was sent barreling and rolling backward head over tail as the faint golden light that had briefly manifested within the former's pupils faded.
"Nn...Master gets much stronger when protecting others..." noted Koneko, approaching, embracing, and nuzzling her face and body against Vahn's chest and abdomen. She could have easily defeated the Orc Peon if it got close, but it made her feel fluttery knowing he felt such a strong desire to protect her.
"Maybe...but I still have a long way to go to catch up to you..." responded Vahn, smiling affectionately as he held and caressed Koneko's head. She had insisted on partnering with him when everyone separated into groups to make farming more efficient, but instead of wandering about, they had found a wide open space to practice hand-to-hand combat while dealing with groups of six to twelve monsters that would appear at ten to fifteen-minute intervals.
"Then let's continue..." responded Koneko, releasing Vahn and casually leaping several meters away from him, hands raised in a boxing pose and her tail flicking behind her before curling into an s-shape. She didn't look even remotely threatening, but Vahn knew better than most that, as cute as she was, she packed an equivalent amount of power.
Seeing Vahn mirror her stance, Koneko launched herself at him with her right fist fully extended. He grabbed her wrist and promptly flipped her, but instead of allowing herself to slam into the ground, she twisted her body even faster, landing on her feet and using his hold on her wrist to pull him off balance. He released quickly, but not before she was able to land a punch against his diaphragm, producing a sound akin to striking a drum.
Though he was compelled to take several steps back, the air forced from his lungs, Vahn didn't panic or collapse. Instead, he kept his hands raised and stepped back even further as Koneko briefly dropped to all fours, her butt and tail wiggling before she leaped through the air much faster than he could retreat. Vahn thought she was going to knee him in the face with both knees, but she instead extended her legs at the last moment, giving him a face full of her crotch before she wrapped her legs around his head and embraced it with her full body, thoroughly smothering him.
Thinking quickly and knowing full well how exceptionally durable Koneko was, Vahn grabbed her sides and promptly supplexed her into the ground by driving his face and body like a hammer. He had hoped that would get her to release him, but it only caused her to tighten her hold as she plainly stated, "Harder...more forceful..."
'I have a better idea...' thought Vahn, hooking his thumbs into the pits of Koneko's arms, causing her to tense ticklishly until he sent a thread of his Aura into her nerves, causing her arms to straighten against her will. She reacted by putting more strength into her legs, but without her arms, she was unable to prevent him from changing positions, hastily leaning back and wrapping his legs around her torso as he grabbed her waist, arched his back, and pried her off of him. She could have prevented this with her superior strength, but since she was limiting herself to match his, he was eventually able to free himself, gasping for air before they spent the next several minutes wrestling on the ground...
