Chapter 4: Patron Goddess (Lux)
Bai quickly handled paperwork concerning Vieno and even found a few job requests that he could do on the side.
“Impressive.” Vieno looked at Bai’s wizard hat with hesitation, but perhaps because Bai was in a good mood and she noticed his gaze, she removed her hat and leaned forward, allowing Vieno to give her wholesome head pats.
“I’m quite amazing when I try.” She rubbed her nose and gloated. “But, it's not like I tried because of you.”
Vieno had a smile on his face and stared at her to see if she would notice her own words.
“What? Why are you staring…Like I said I didn’t do all this because of you.” Vieno could see it click. Bai’s face instantly turned ecstatic and slightly haughty. “Fufufu, I meant to say those words. I have been unleashed.”
Was she also a chunni? Vieno pondered this seriously as Bai launched herself at him only to fall face first into the ground again.
“Bitch, you dodged!”
“I’m just stronger than you.” Vieno patted her head a few more times. “Well, goodluck. The next time you want to have sex, you will have to reveal your true feelings on your own.”
“Hmph! Like I would ever like you.”
“I vaguely, actually vividly, recall you moaning for more.”
Bai coughed but couldn’t look at Vieno, who chuckled in response. Not caring to linger on the topic though, he started making his way to the dimensional portal. “Alright let's head out.”
Bai followed until they made it down to the public area of the first floor. “Wait.” She headed to the reception desk.
“Oh, hey boss…wait…no…I’m sorry…” The gold-digging receptionist screamed and then went silent.
Bai returned with a satisfied look on her face. “Alright let's go.”
“Do you always bully your subordinates?”
With a look of offense she snorted. “Only that bitch. The upper executives assigned her specifically to me with set instructions to foster her talent.” Bai looked thoughtful for a moment despite her frown. “She is clever alright, but if you don’t discipline her then she will cut corners, take advantage of the patrons, or procrastinate her work entirely. Also the bitch talks behind my back even though she is just as short as me. She probably wears those high heels just to taunt me. Hmph.”
“You always did like to solve things with your fists.”
“Oh, stop it.” She blushed. “Even if it is true.”
Vieno didn’t say anymore, and it was silent until he got to the gate. He locked the pathway to the world of Asterisk.
“Oh, I was wondering why do people call it Asterisk?”
“Almost no one knows the real name. It is always bleeped out.”
Bai’s face turned hot and she fanned herself. “How vulgar…”
Vieno entered the gate with Bai in tow, but after passing through the portal he found himself teleported to an empty space. At the same time a notification appeared before him:
“At administrator’s request specified traffic is to be redirected to admin’s personal subspace. Sorry, Vieno. If you don’t want women to abuse their powers maybe don’t be such a womanizer.” |
Vieno frowned. He also noticed that Bai was missing, but knowing what happened he wasn’t bothered. But, why was a non-sentient consciousness lecturing him?
Clicking his tongue, Vieno came to the conclusion that the universe itself was just jealous. He brought his head up with pride and was met with quite an eyeful.
A beautiful woman that practically glowed was running towards Vieno. Her blond hair flowed majestically as if there was an artificial wind blowing in this subspace. Her massive tits also bounced, which was in its own way magical. This was especially so given the fact that the woman was completely nude.
She was Lux, the primary tutelary deity of Asterisk among many other worlds. She was also an old friend.
“Vieno!” She shouted and jumped into his embrace, snuggling up against him. She continued to rub her head against his chest. “You came to visit me finally.”
There was pure, innocent joy on her face which contrasted to Vieno, who could only sigh. “Actually, I’m…’
Daggers seem to flow out of her eyes, but her voice was merely teasing. “You didn’t come to visit me?” She stroked his chest and stuck out her tongue. “How mean.”
Vieno clicked his tongue and then flicked her forehead. “Act your age, you old hag.”
Lux fell back a couple steps, rubbed her forehead, then pouted. She even crossed her arms, which was an intoxicating image given that it pushed her breasts forward. “We’re practically the same age.”
“And yet I’m not running around out in the open without any clothes or launching myself at people.”
“I just miss the old days where we fucked like rabbits.” She proudly declared. Vieno noticed her two furry ears twitching. It was obvious that her use of the word rabbit was a pun for herself.
“I’m sure you do, but even if you have an exhibition fetish you should still greet an old friend with some decency.”
She turned around and began rotating and twerking her ass in his direction. She laughed, “You and decency. Bullshit. Just enjoy the show, old man.”
“I corrupted you too much.” Vieno had a look of nostalgia. “Who would believe you were the Saintess of the Hero Party?”
“Hey.” She paused, stopped flaunting her ass, and turned serious.
Vieno was preoccupied with memories of the past. He recalled how Lux used to appear so innocent, but it was just a facade. She had been a trickster with a distorted personality from the start. But still seeing the seriousness, he had to snap back to reality.
“What, did you forget how charming I was?”
“I met one of them again.”
Vieno immediately knew what she meant. “Didn’t everyone else choose to reincarnate a long time ago?” As far as Vieno knew, all the members of the Hero Party that he joined a long time ago had all decided to live new lives. Not everyone was cut out for living a single life with a single identity.
“They did. Their memories of their past life, including their memories of us are sealed, but I know it was him. He is aiming to be a hero again in one of the worlds I manage. I can’t abuse the system too much, but I hope he succeeds this time.”
Vieno coughed, which caused Lux to laugh. She entered Vieno's arms again.
Lux not being one to dwell on things changed the topic. “You know I became a Goddess of Love. I have my own covenant and everything.”
“I have heard.”
“Although, I know you were just joking but there is a real reason I’m dressed or rather not dressed at all.”
“...”
“People shouldn’t be ashamed of themselves. All that talk of purity is bull crap.”
“To some people stuff like that matters.”
“Of course, I know that. There is nothing wrong with one’s personal belief. It’s when other people abuse those beliefs for their own gain that problems occur. I’m sure you remember all the lectures I got as the Saintess.”
“I always wondered what they would think if they knew all the things we did under their noses. I mean how many times were people confessing their sins to you…while I was secretly sinning in the booth with you ”
“Exactly. You completely defiled their virgin saint, corrupted her very essence, bent her and didn’t stop, taught her the ways of sins and pleasure, whispered sweet nothings in her ears, filled and covered her in your cum…”
Vieno cut her off. “Alright I got it.”
“And I turned out just fine.” She said this with a smile. The fact that she was dripping all the way down her legs didn’t even faze her. With how she was rubbing against him, it even splashed onto Vieno, which also didn’t embarrass Lux at all.
Vieno nodded his head sarcastically. “Ah huh and how old are you? Aren’t you still single? Also, I feel I must make it clear. You came onto me. I mean you were the one whispering in my ears, constantly teasing me.” He pretended to sound exasperated.
Lux showed pride and innocence in her smile. “I was quite the naughty girl wasn’t I?”
“Is that why you always got in trouble? You know at first I thought you were just rebellious against the old priests and nuns at the temple, but no you were a full blown deprived individual from the start. I mean you even snuck into my tent that first time and…”
“Hmm.” She moaned but tried to conceal it, but she couldn’t conceal the growing puddle beneath them or the fact she was drenching Vieno’s clothes.
“And you're really getting off on this right now. I also seem to recall you liked me to play with your ass whenever the temple lectured you.”
“Ah huh.” She moaned. “Keep going.” She didn’t hide anything anymore, and moved one of her hands and began massaging the outside of her pussy while grinding against him.
The image of Reiko appeared in Vieno’s mind. There was indeed a similarity. Although Lux was bold and did it upfront… Do I perhaps have a type? No, that can’t be because I've had fun with all kinds of women.
“Oh, have I finally made you stand up? It truly is just like the old times. Although before I just had to breathe into your ear to get a reaction....that reminds me did my Lily pass her latest exam. I taught her a few tricks myself.”
Vieno's mouth turned agape for a moment and Lux laughed at him. “Oh, I haven’t seen you go red in a long time. Seems I still got it. ”
Vieno recalled the image of the rabbit-eared headmaster. “Oh, shut up. I forgot about your clone.” He sighed. “She still hasn’t passed her exam and I don’t think she will anytime soon.”
“So she is still infatuated with you, huh.” Vieno felt slightly ashamed but his face grew hot as Lux continued, “You think she would be down for a threesome?”
“Goddess of Love my ass. You are more like the Goddess of Degenerates.” Vieno rubbed his forehead, while Lux just continued to snuggle up against him.
“Hmm. Goddess of Degenerate Love. Or maybe Goddess of Degenerate Lust. I will have to consider these titles.” She left Vieno’s arms and began twirling around in the empty space. She beckoned Vieno to dance with her.
“I can’t play for long. I actually came to Asterisk to get a gift for my Landlord.”
Lux froze and had an almost look of horror on her face. “Landlord?” She pointed at Vieno. “You…settling down in one place?”
Lux was deep in thought. “Wait. Wait. Wait. You don’t have a thing for her do you?”
“Her…how…”
“If you were going to choose someone to live with, why wouldn’t you choose my Lily!”
“I don’t live with her. She lives next door in another apartment.”
“And what you bring girls over and fuck over and over when she is next door. I’m sure the sounds drift through the walls…but that turns you on…and you call me a degenerate. Hmph.”
Vieno, annoyed, split himself in two.
“Oh you are going to fuck me from two holes to try to appease me.” Lux brought her ass forward again. Her little tail twitched in anticipation. “Your plan to appease me has worked, so get on with it. Don’t keep me waiting.”
“Ugh. Actually, I was just going to have my clone finish my objective since I wasn’t sure how long you wanted to keep me.”
“Fine. But I have had enough emotional foreplay and now I require the catharsis of a good fucking!” Lux twirled her thumb and Vieno’s clone shot out of the subspace and appeared next to Bai’s ass. Well he was pretty confident it was her ass.
