LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 153: Payoff
"Alright, say hi to Reg for me. And if anything happens, you know what to do..." said Vahn, gently tousling Riko's hair as their four-month stay in the Tower reached its final moments.
"Blow my whistle or call out to you with all my heart~!" responded Riko, pumping her fists in a guts pose and doing her best to seem upbeat but unable to stop her large green eyes from tearing up.
"Hey, now...no need to tear up..." remarked Vahn, his expression and tone softening as he reminded, "We can always chat via the System, and I'll be sure to drop in on your birthday or during other important events..."
"I know that..." responded Riko, inhaling deeply through her nose before exhaling, patting her chest, and looking up at him with a smile as she said, "And I'll be sure to tell Reg you said hello."
"Mmn...you're a strong and capable girl, Riko...you're going to do great things in the future..." expressed Vahn, nodding approvingly before Riko offered a broad, closed-eyed smile and replied, "Nn! You bet...!" before disappearing in a flash of bluish-white light.
'There she goes...' mused Vahn, exhaling faintly from his nose. Then, as only he and Venelana remained in his non-euclidean abode, he turned to the flaxen-haired woman, smiled, and playfully inquired, "Are you ready to start aiming for a baby again...?"
"While it is far from my only desire, it is unquestionably my greatest..." responded Venelana, reciprocating with a mature, seductive, glossy-eyed smile that made it clear she was prepared to be bred right there and then if he were willing.
"Then I suppose we'll have to keep working at it daily..." hummed Vahn, extending his left hand for Venelana to step forward and grab. Then, as the countdown to the cycle's conclusion neared zero, they shared a deep and passionate kiss that continued until they were automatically returned to their locations prior to the Tower's reopening...
Greeting Vahn with a smile, Rias, standing with her arms crossed, asked, "Did you get a chance to say goodbye to everyone? I honestly expected you to return early so you and Korra could hurry and meet."
"She'll have her turn..." responded Vahn, stepping forward to place his hands on Rias's waist before leaning his head down to give her a chaste but lengthy kiss. With six other girls present, they couldn't spend minutes making out, but before moving on to Sona, Akeno, Tsubaki, Koneko, Asia, and Xenovia in their usual order, he made sure to give her right butt cheek a playful squeeze...

[September 1st DxD/April 21st DBT]
After spending much of the morning celebrating their reunion, Vahn was eating lunch with everyone when Rias dropped a fairly large bombshell, revealing, "After discussing it at considerable length, we have all decided to live here and help with the establishment of this realm and the day-to-day operations of the Crimson Palace."
Though he blinked in surprise, Vahn didn't hesitate to smile and respond, "If that's what you've decided, then I have nothing to say other than that I'll be happy to have everyone around more often."
Nodding approvingly, Rias shifted her smiling gaze to Sona, prompting her to explain, "We haven't given up on our dreams of becoming Champion of the Rating Games or creating an academy to prepare and enable others to compete, but the Tower of Ascension changes everything. Now that it has been verified that even Angels, who have fixed potential from the moment of their creation, can grow stronger using Enhancement Crystals, securing a foothold within the lower Floors and climbing as high as possible will be the priority of virtually every faction. As such, we can't afford to be sitting in a classroom for half the day, playing student when we have a faction of our own to grow and develop."
"Besides..." added Rias, her eyes narrowing as she asserted, "I may have given up on the right to your first child, but that doesn't mean I'll sit by as my own mother continues stealing a lead. She can remain your Secretary, COO, and what have you, but I intend to become the Lady or Madame of the Crimson Palace, managing both its personnel and the women forming your harem."
"I also want to help out and have Vahn's child..." appended Asia, puffing her cheeks and becoming adorably teary-eyed.
"Ara~? Who among us doesn't wish to have Vahn's child...?" asked Akeno, cupping her right cheek and smiling amusedly.
Prompted by Akeno's remark, the seven girls exchanged glances with one another. As for Vahn, his slight smile broadened as he hummed, "I'm more than willing, but let's not rush things. My power ensures us all the time we need, but even without it, everyone here has a minimum life expectancy in the tens of thousands of years. Children will arrive when they arrive...until then, let's make the most of our lives and time together..."
"That's right," affirmed Rias, her bright blue eyes blazing as she asserted, "Our highest priorities right now should be increasing our power, forming connections with people from other worlds, and strengthening the faction that will invariably grow from within the Crimson Palace. Thus, rather than the Occult Research Club and Student Council, we shall henceforth serve as representatives and founding members of the Crimson Veil Concordia. Any objections?"
"Mmn...Veil to represent secrecy, and Concordia to emphasize peace and unity between worlds...it's not a terrible name..." affirmed Sona. "Though, if I am allowed to make a suggestion or proposal, I feel it would be better to discard the Crimson Palace's color, theme, and implied association with the Ducal House of Gremory and rebrand. Vahn is already being heralded by many as the Intertwining Dragon and Dragon God of Possibilities, so a more fitting name would be the Intertwining Dragon's Palace, referencing both his status and the fact people gather here to commune with him and form connections with others..."
Crossing her arms and frowning, Rias conceded, "I'm fine with changing the name, but Vahn selected the color crimson himself. Sure, many might associate it with my family, but a hundred or a thousand years from now, it's all but certain the color will be associated with him."
Suppressing the urge to point out it was Venelana who had chosen the Crimson Palace's name and color scheme, Vahn nodded and confirmed, "Though I seldom wear it, crimson is my favorite color. I find it beautiful, elegant, and alluring, so while I am willing to change the name, I believe the palace's color scheme should remain as-is."
"And so it shall," affirmed Sona, nodding.
"Then, how about going with Interworld Dragon Pavilion as the name of our group?" proposed Rias. "I feel that it would roll off the tongue nicely when introducing ourselves."
With no one offering any objections, the Crimson Palace's name was officially changed to the Intertwining Dragon's Palace, leaving Vahn to embrace the status and title of Intertwining Dragon God and Rias, the Chairwoman of the newly formed Interworld Dragon Pavilion. She had offered to share the role and responsibilities with Sona, but as the latter already knew which position suited her best, she left the Chief Executive Officer spot open for the more experienced Venelana and gave herself the title of Managing Director...

With the day nearing its end, his crops tended, Aileen appeased, and Bulma satisfied with him dropping by to spend time and keep her in the loop, Vahn waited patiently in the room intended for Korra, relaxing atop her bed as if it were his own.
[Alright. I'm ready...] said Korra, her nervous but excited voice echoing within Vahn's mind. She insisted on taking a bath and preparing herself before she came over, so when Vahn or, more accurately, Sis teleported her over, her hair was down, slightly wet, and her well-trained body was garbed in pale blue sweatpants with a simple white tank top.
"Even in plainsclothes, you look exceptional..." muttered Vahn, rising to a seated position, getting up from the bed, and approaching Korra, causing her to swallow hard, grab her left bicep with her right hand, and stare up at him as he towered over her by a full head.
"My heart feels like it's going to pound out of my chest..." muttered Korra, her pussy tensing tightly as Vahn slowly wrapped his hands around her to gently cup her toned bottom and draw her closer as he said, "Put your ear on my chest..." in a deep, smoldering tone.
Though she typically hated doing what others told her, Korra tentatively wrapped her arms around Vahn, holding his back and secretly marveling at the firmness of his body as she placed her right ear against his chest. She felt like her own was beating a billion times a second, but she could tell as soon as she began listening that Vahn's heart was racing, beating powerfully and quickly as if to indicate he was just as nervous or excited as her.
Bringing his right hand to the back of Korra's head and left to the center of her back, Vahn cradled her reassuringly as he softly reminded, "In this place, we have all the time in the world. There's no need to rush things, so take your time, and once you're prepared, tell me what you need from me, and I'll do my best to provide..."
"Since when were you this gentle...?" asked Korra, a faint smile adorning her face as she closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of being held by a boy she liked. It was different from being hugged by family. It gave her a similar sense of comfort and warmth, but as there was something hot and hard pressing against her most sensitive and intimate region, she also felt restless and more than a little aroused...
"My position doesn't allow me to be at your side as often as you deserve, so when circumstances like this allow, I will do everything I can to ensure you feel safe, secure, and gratified..." responded Vahn, weakening his hold on Korra's head, prompting her to look up at him. From there, they stared at each other for several seconds, Korra's face growing increasingly ruddy before she closed her eyes, raised her chin, and parted her lips nervously but invitingly.
Meeting Korra's expectations, Vahn gave her a chaste, lingering kiss that lasted roughly ten seconds before he pulled back to find her modeling a content, narrow-eyed, and flushed smile. It wasn't her first kiss, but Korra didn't count the rest, as they were simply practice.
Not wanting to leave everything to Vahn, Korra mustered every ounce of her courage and acting skills to appear confident and alluring as she said, "Take off our pants and lie down on the bed...let's see if all that practice paid off..."
"Yes, ma'am..." hummed Vahn, maintaining eye contact with Korra as he released his hold on her body and walked backward to her bed. In the process, he manually undid his belt and dropped his trousers, allowing them to drop to his ankles before stepping out of them and sitting on the bed with his boxers intact, leaving Korra to do the unveiling herself.
Following an audible gulp, Korra leaned forward slightly and, presumably following his example, removed her pale blue pajama bottoms by slowly sliding them off her body. To Vahn's immense surprise, she was modeling a mature pair of scant white lace panties underneath, forming a beautiful contrast against the backdrop of her healthy brown skin as she stood up and caressed her belly with both hands, gradually raising her shirt as she asserted, "I'm about to rock your world..." with feigned confidence.
"I'm already shaken just looking at you..." countered Vahn, his expression one of genuine awe and appreciation as he watched Korra do her best to appear sexy and poised. He expected her to be more spirited, as she was very enthusiastic while chatting and even discussing topics like the many positions they should try, but she must have received coaching from Rias or someone else as she managed to appear just as seductive as a Devil as she removed her tank top to reveal her relatively modest but well-shaped C-Cup breasts...
