LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 17: The Worst (Best?) Meeting
Game
Thoughts
"Talking"
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Does… does she have to dress like this?" Irina asked, the holy girl blushing as she looked at Naruto, blatantly not locking eyes with Rias.
"You interrupted our private time! You don't get to complain!" Rias shot back, glaring at Irina from the other side of the duo of couches.
"For the record, I would also like her to change. This is very unprofessional," Sona deadpanned, the devil heiress sitting next to her fellow heiress on the couch.
After the exorcist's unexpected arrival, Rias had been forced to drop her plans for a diplomatic meeting. In fact, she had dropped her plans so quickly that she was still wearing her metallic bikini, which hid practically none of her voluptuous body.
"Almost as unprofessional as asking for a meeting this late," Sona continued, her eye twitching as she glanced out the window into the pitch-black night.
"It is rather late," Xenvoia said simply.
"We can have the meeting tomorrow!" Irina supplied helpfully.
"I didn't think you guys would have it tonight," Naruto explained, giving Sona a slightly apologetic look, "I thought you could just find them somewhere to stay for tonight, Rias."
"Nope! After interrupting us, I extra don't want them to stay!" Rias huffed, puffing out her cheeks cutely as she glared at the exorcist duo.
"Ufufu, sorry it's so late, Sona-san. If you'd like, I could help you change into something more comfortable…" Akeno giggled, teasing her long-time friend, "It's been a while since we've all been in our pajamas, right Rias?"
"Stop. I get enough of this from Onee-san already," Sona shut her down with a sigh, "It's fine, the time can't be helped. Rias said you'd find them this morning, but I understand personally how hard it can be to track someone down."
"Actually, we found them right away," Akeno giggled, and Sona blinked in surprise, looking at Naruto questioningly.
"It only took about ten minutes to find them," Naruto deadpanned, "Getting them here was the hard part."
"The hard part?"
"There were some… delays," Naruto said, looking to the side innocently.
"Delays?"
"Oh! That was my fault! Sorry!" Irina said cheerfully, "We just arrived yesterday, but we lost all our money, so we didn't have a chance to check out the city! Kami-sama was showing us around!"
"Showing them around?" Sona echoed for the third time, raising an eyebrow at Naruto.
"...I thought getting a meal wouldn't hurt," Naruto answered, still not meeting her eyes.
"Four meals, to be exact," Akeno corrected teasingly, "KcDonalds, Kurger King, Kendys… and then we headed here to have Rias for dessert!"
"We also went to an amusement park!" Irina added helpfully.
"And the beach… and the pool… and skydiving… and-" Xenvoia started to list of the day's activities, looking down at her fingers as she emotionlessly listed them off.
"It was my day off!" Naruto finally said defensively, "I'm used to goofing off all day - pulling pranks, getting in trouble, running away… who decided it was a good idea to make me responsible for stuff like this?"
Naruto had most certainly become more responsible and dependable as he got older - if it was his younger self, all of Kyoto would've been painted orange by now - but he still wasn't the ideal candidate for tasks like this. It was hard to view finding the two women and bringing them back to the clubroom, which was only a few minutes walk away, with the same seriousness as a mission, so he got a bit side-tracked.
"Whatever. Let's get to the point of this," Sona finally said, sitting up straight as her face gained an immensely serious look, "Why are you here, exorcists of the church? You're aware that Kuoh is ruled by the Gremory and Sitri Clans, correct?"
At Sona's words, the room became tense. An electricity seemed to formed, buzzing around the room as the exorcists also became serious.
"Of course we are," Xenovia answered with an edge in her voice, "We wouldn't be here if it wasn't serious. It's church business. You devils have nothing to do with it."
The tension increased, becoming uncomfortably thick.
"Since you're in our territory, we have everything to do with it," Rias shot back. A red aura appeared around her, the woman glaring dangerously at Xenvoia, "Watch your mouth, or I'll remove you forcefully."
However, Xenovia didn't reply. Instead, she just stared blankly at Rias. More specifically, she wasn't looking at her face, but a bit lower.
"That's unfair…" The blue-haired girl muttered, and Rias blinked in confusion. Suddenly, all the tension in the room disappeared.
"Uh… Rias?" Naruto said, him along with everyone else in the room staring at one point in particular.
"Yes, Naruto-chan?" Rias answered, the red aura disappeared as a sweet smile abruptly replaced her glare.
"You're… you're naked," He said bluntly, and Rias blinked again. Then, she slowly looked down, realizing that her incredibly sexy body was now bare, her bikini burned away during her threat. Now, her huge breasts were flopping outward, and Xenovia was staring at them with a hint of jealousy.
"Oh. I am." Rias responded simply, sitting back down comfortably on the couch, a slight plop ringing out into the silent room as her large ass cheeks creviced into the couch.
"She's even big down there? So unfair…"
"P-Put them away!" Irina shouted, blushing as she averted her eyes.
"Oops. I had that bikini specially made, but I forgot to make it resistant to my power of destruction like my usual clothes are," Rias muttered.
"You have clothes that are resistant to it?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yup. That's actually why I prefer sleeping naked - I had to when I was younger because I'd burn off my clothes in the night if I had a nightmare." Rias explained easily.
"Not just your clothes," Akeno teased, "Sometimes it was the whole bed! Fufu, once it was even the whole room and half of the Gremory manor!"
"It was a really bad nightmare," Rias flushed, then quickly spoke again to Akeno, "A-Anyway, get me some new clothes, Akeno."
"Are you sure, Rias? I think what you're wearing now is perfectly fine. In fact, I think I'll joi-"
"New clothes, Akeno." Rias cut her off with a look, not letting Akeno's teasing continue. Despite her look, Akeno turned her attention to Naruto.
"What do you think, Naruto-chan? I think our Rias is much more comfortable like this, fufu~"
"...She should put on some clothes," Naruto deadpanned. As much as he enjoyed seeing his new wife's naked body in all its glory, this was technically an important diplomatic meeting.
The least serious diplomatic meeting ever.
The tension in the room had only lasted about 30 seconds, having been broken when Rias's bikini was burned off.

Naruto blinked, staring at the notification.
"Well… if Naruto-chan says so," Rias suddenly blushed, looking directly at Naruto, "I'll stay naked!"
"No, no! This is an important meeting," Naruto started, waving his hands in the air, "No one should be naked!"

"Y-You want everyone else to get naked too?" Rias asked, blushing even more.
"I-I would never! T-Though… if it's Kami-sama saying it…" Irina trailed off, looking at Naruto with a red face.
"Ufufu, so forward, Naruto-chan~!" Akeno giggled, and Naruto resisted face-palming.
"I will not be going nude, even if you want me to," Xenovia said bluntly.
"This is my territory! If Naruto-chan says to get naked, then you gotta get naked!" Rias countered, staring intensely at Xenovia.
"Of course a devil would say that. Your kind have no morals," Xenvoia shot her down, her face still blank but gaining a slight edge.
"I respect your resolve, Rias, but I'm not keen on getting naked either," Sona interrupted, blushing deeply at the idea, "It's not essential for this meeting that we are all nude, is it, Naruto-chan?"
"No. Not at all," Naruto said, already feeling a headache forming as he saw where the conversation was heading, "No one needs to be naked."

"We need to?" Sona asked, starting to look a bit more hesitant.
"Naruto-chan wouldn't say it unless it was true! We all have to be nude!" Rias said, looking even more intensely at Xenovia as she stood up in a huff, her huge breasts jiggling from the motion.
"No…" Naruto trailed off, pinching the bridge of his nose as the conversation got out of control.
"I-If you insist…" Irina said, reaching up and starting to pull off her shirt as Akeno simply giggled while doing the same.
"There is no good reason that we need to strip." Xenvoia finally said, and Naruto saw a ray of light as the sole woman refused to get naked.
"Thank you! You don't need to get naked, especially in such an important meeting!" Naruto nodded, "There's no reason. None. The world isn't gonna end or anything if you keep your clothes on."
There was a moment of silence - as if the world itself knew that Naruto had fucked up.
I really shouldn't have said that last part.

"T-The world will end?! I-If it's that dire…" Sona trailed off, the thin woman standing up as she started quickly taking off her clothes.
"N-No! Stop undressing! The world won't end! Just keep the clothes on!" Naruto quickly tried to rectify the situation, waving his hands at Sona.

"H-Hurry up Xenvoia! Kami-sama said the world's going to end if we don't!" Irina said, ripping off her robe in a hurry and revealing her tight black under outfit.
"That would be terrible…" Xenvoia nodded, looking much less panicked as she stood up and discarded her robe.
"Why does this always happen…" Naruto sighed, leaning back into the couch and giving up as the various women in the room started to undress.
"Fufu, don't act like you don't enjoy it, Naruto-chan!" Akeno giggled, the woman's top completely off as her massive breasts, which beat even Rias's in size, flopped out, "I've got a 'pillow' right here for you if you're uncomfortable."
"No…" Naruto trailed off as a huge weight plopped onto the top of his head, two nipples suddenly hanging in front of his eyes, "This is already the least professional meeting ever. We can at least try to save it. Everyone just… stare at a wall or something! At least pretend you're wearing clothes!"
"I don't have a very active imagination," Xenvoia shot down his idea innocently, the blue-haired woman now completely nude.
"Oh! I do!" Irina butted in cheerfully, the orange-haired woman also completely nude, "I used to play pretend all the time when I was little! I'm really good at it!"
"Let's… let's just get the meeting over with," This time it was Sona, ever the voice of reason, who saved the situation. She was blushing heavily as her thin body was completely exposed but was doing her best to act professionally.
"Why are you here? What business does the church have in our territory?" Sona asked, trying to look intimidating, but that was difficult to pull off when your body was exposed for the world to see.
"Excalibur fragments were stolen," Xenvoia answered, the blue-haired girl sitting back down on the couch and turning serious again, "They were tracked to Kuoh. We're here to retrieve them."
"Stolen? How does something that important get stolen?" Sona asked incredulously, staring suspiciously at her fellow naked woman.
"Doesn't matter. They're here, and we will retrieve them," Xenvoia asked gruffly, the woman starting to become a bit defensive.
"Why did the church send you guys? They could've just asked Naruto-chan to get them," Rias asked, tilting her head curiously at Xenvoia.
"Kami-sama? This is church business. Why would he do anything about it?" Irina asked questioningly.
"Oh, Naruto-chan loves helping people out! He's doing it all the time! Especially other factions!" Rias explained cheerfully, and Naruto blinked at her.
"I do?" Naruto asked, "I like helping people out, but other factions? When have I ever done that?"
"I'm a devil, and you helped me out today by bringing them here," Rias nodded.
"You're my… wife. That's different." Naruto deadpanned. It was still weird to him that he was a married man so soon after arriving in this world.
"You also cleansed the underworld to help out Zekram, saved Shirone and Kuroka to help Onii-chan, and helped negotiate with Azazel for Raynare, Mittelt, and Kalawarner. You defeated Riser to help me," Rias continued to list off, her face squishing in thought, "Oh! And just the other day you went around and played games with all the faction leaders because you knew they were bored, and when faction leaders get bored they tend to start wars!"
"Oh… I guess I do help them out a lot," Naruto hummed, "They should buy me some ramen or somethin' to make up f- wait, to help Zekram?"
Naruto did a double-take mid-sentence. Naruto didn't remember helping Zekram Beal at all - in fact, he'd done the opposite when he…
I still feel bad.
No one deserved to feel the 'Thousands Years of Death' technique.
"Yup," Rias nodded, "A war almost broke out when you cleansed the underworld, but Zekram said you did it at his request."
Oh, he covered up for me. Nice guy.
In retrospect, it was strange that the devil race was just fine with him making their home uninhabitable.
"If the Youkai God is that kind, then…" Xenvoia turned, looking blankly at Naruto, "Please remove those… bags, from your face before I ask for help."
Naruto casually reached up, ignoring Akeno's over-the-top moan as he pushed her breasts off his head.
"Please help us retrieve the Excalibur fragments," Xenovia finally asked, staring intently at Naruto.
"Sure, no pro-"
"On one condition!" Rias interrupted Naruto, drawing Xenvoia's attention back to her. Naruto felt a chill go down his spine.
I have a bad feeling about this.
The look on Rias's face eerily reminded Naruto of the time she'd 'helped' him negotiate with the Phenex Family.
"Join Naruto-chan's harem!" Rias ordered with a cheesy look on her face.
"...His harem?" Xenvoia asked, tilting her head questioningly at Rias.
"Yup! Join and we'll help you! You too, orange head! Naruto-chan loves orange!" Rias ordered, then looked at Xenvoia and Irina with an overly serious look, "Join Naruto-chan's harem, or I'll forcibly remove you from my territory!"
"T-This is too much…" Irina squeaked out, blushing heavily as she wouldn't meet anyone's eyes, "W-We just met…"
"Ever heard of love at first sight?" Rias asked, and Naruto could practically see the wheels turning in her head.
"Y-Yes! That's the most pure type of love! When souls are connected!" Irina said, suddenly looking very excited as she looked up at Rias.
Rias smirked, pointing at Naruto, "You just met Naruto-chan, but you can already feel it, right? That's love at first sight!"
"I-It is?" Irina stuttered, looking at Naruto with wide eyes.
"No. No, it's not," Naruto waved her off, "Ignore Rias. We're not soulmates or anything like that!"

"W-We're soul mates…" Irina muttered, her eyes wide as she stared in awe at Naruto. Naruto barely resisted the urge to facepalm.
"I will not be joining any harem. I took a vow to remain a virgin for life," Xenvoia countered, not budging.
Thank you!
"Then… I guess you'll be leaving your partner all alone… all alone in devil territory… on a dangerous mission…" Rias continued, taking pauses dramatically.
That's not gonna work. She literally took a vow to stay a virgin! She'd have to be a complete airhead to fall for th-
"Ah, that would go against mission protocol. I guess I'll join this 'harem'," Xenvoia conceded as she nodded at Rias, and Naruto couldn't resist the urge anymore. He face-palmed.
"No. No. No one is joining any harem. I'll help you anyway! Let's just get this meeting over with!" Naruto groaned, "It's late at night, you guys must be freezing with your clothes off. Body heat can only do so much."
Multiple Beings have been affected by your [LEGENDARY] [Confusion] debuff!
Naruto blinked. It'd been a while since he saw that debuff activate.
"You're cold, Naruto-chan?! And we need to use our body heat to keep you warm?! Say no more!" Rias sprung into action, launching across the couch and landing directly on Naruto, her naked body pressing into him.
"I didn't say any of that!"

"Ara ara, you naughty boy, Naruto-chan!" Akeno giggled, walking around the couch and planting her huge ass on Naruto's lap, "If you need some warmth, then Onee-san is right here to help you~"
"I g-guess it would be bad if Kami-sama got hypothermia! But that's the only reason!" Irina shouted, not being left out as she launched onto the growing pile of naked bodies on Naruto.
"I-I don't…" Sona trailed off, looking conflicted.
"Don't go in without me, Irina! We're a team!" Xenvoia shouted, looking far too serious as she launched herself at Naruto.
This isn't a fight, y'know?!
"Well… I guess it's fine… for a bit… for warmth…" Sona muttered, not enjoying being the odd woman out as she started walking towards Naruto.
How the hell does this always happen?!
