'I was beginning to think that would never end...' mused Vahn, sporting a contented smile after parting ways with Aqua after seventy-six days. This wasn't the lengthiest stint he had spent with one of his women, but he felt they could have continued much longer if not for her translucent, gradient blue hair gaining a pink hue and glowing, pale pink hearts appearing in her eyes, causing her worry that she was becoming a Dark or Fallen Goddess of Lust. Fortunately, though Vahn didn't think it was an issue, she returned to her usual appearance after settling down and spending time sitting and praying in waist-high holy water...
'I should probably reset my mental state...' concluded Vahn, deciding to extend the evening into a brief stint with Lupheria, Dizzy, and Jack-O on the eighth floor. He would have invited Kunou to join them, but she wasn't in the palace, alternating between dwelling there and her mother's shrine in the Gion District of Kyoto...

"And, lastly, you've received a formal complaint..." revealed Venelana, sporting a narrow-eyed, amused smile as she supplied Vahn's morning briefing, catching him by surprise.
"A complaint? From who? And what about...?" asked Vahn, genuinely bewildered as he felt he generally went out of his way to ensure those visiting the palace received their Tower Points' worth. Sure, there were times when he would sour the mood by inserting himself into a situation where he wasn't expected or invited, but he only did so when someone within the group stepped out of line and did something that toed the line of the palace's policies...
"It's from Satou Kazuma..." revealed Venelana, looking as though she was suppressing the urge to laugh aloud as she clarified, "He contends that you've sabotaged his party by corrupting their Arch Priestess and making her even lazier than she already was. It would appear that whenever she feels annoyed or simply wishes to avoid work, Aqua-sama sneaks away to the palace using her crystal key."
"Mmn...alright, that's fair..." conceded Vahn, understanding how vital Aqua was to Kazuma's party as she reminded him of it constantly. Even with the benefits of being an Ascendee, Kazuma had died and needed to be raised twice by Aqua. He might frequently refer to her as a Useless Goddess, but he was bound to struggle immensely without her on-demand, inordinately powerful Holy and Water-based Purification Magic.
Nodding, Vahn added, "Once I return from the Black Tower, I'll drop by his world to assess the situation and see what kind of remuneration he has in mind."
"Should we not summon him here...?" asked Venelana, feeling Vahn was being a little too courteous by visiting Kazuma directly.
"Maybe. But since I'm at least partially at fault here, I feel it would be a little pretentious to have him respond to a summons..." contended Vahn, extending his left hand to caress Venelana's head as he added, "Besides, I can better assess his situation and needs on-site."
"Mmn...if that's what you've decided, then I have nothing more to say..." responded Venelana, closing her eyes to enjoy Vahn's always pleasant caress. She then felt fluttery when he gave her a deep, protracted kiss, but that was sadly where things concluded that particular morning...

"N-waawawaaaaaaaaaaamnnnh~!?"
"Wh-what the hell are you doing here...!?" exclaimed Kazuma, his eyes widened to their limits as he inadvertantly yanked a rather large set of anal beads from Lalatina's ass as she lay across his lap atop a red and gold chaise lounge. With them was a blue-haired man with the upper half of his face covered in a black and white mask with the Roman numeral II, and to his left was a table full of sex toys ranging from pink rotors to very large, monster-themed dildos.
"Haaa...haaa...put it back in and pull it again~" pleaded Lalatina, shaking her slightly swollen, hand-marked butt from side to side, seemingly more excited than bothered by Vahn's sudden appearance as she stared at him with a wide-eyed, clearly aroused, and giddy smile.
"Oh, my...is this the Dragon God I've heard so much about...?" asked the masked man, dressed similarly to a butler in a purple, white-trimmed suit with tails and a yellow tie scarf.
"I see that I've interrupted something..." noted Vahn, his expression and tone calm but internally feeling flustered as he looked between the many sex toys on the table and Lalatina's very wet pussy, bearing a pink rotor taped to her clit and a dildo designed to stimulate her G-spot sticking out of her. Moments before, she had also had a near forearm's length of anal beads nestled deep inside her, but Kazuma had inadvertantly pulled them out like the ripcord of a lawnmower when he appeared.
"Lady Dustiness was just helping us test some of the special merchandise devised by Sir Kazuma~" explained the masked man, famed and feared in his world as the Archduke of Hell and one of the Devil King's former, most powerful Generals, Vanir the 2nd.
Recalling his previous encounters with Vahn and the recent complaint he had filed through the Dragon's Pavilion, Kazuma couldn't help shivering in place and sweating buckets. The truth was that he and Lalatina weren't in a relationship, as he found her perverse and masochistic nature more than a little worrisome, so she genuinely was just helping them test sex toys. If someone didn't know her, however, it might look like they had drugged or gotten her drunk and were presently taking advantage of her, particularly with several empty bottles of alcohol littering the area, courtesy of Aqua's near-daily benders...
Increasing the amount of sweat that Kazuma was producing, Lalatina, insensibly aroused, angled her butt toward Vahn and used her right hand to spread her still-gaping anus as she stated, "Actually, this is perfect~! I heard from Aqua-sama that Vahn-sama has a really big dick! Wouldn't you like to stick it inside and split my ass in two~!?"
"Oh? That could provide some useful data..." remarked Vanir, hammering his right fist into the palm of his left hand as if Lalatina's suggestion were perfectly reasonable.
Concealing Lalatina's ass and pussy with a red and gold-tasseled throw cushion, Kazuma, red in the face, asked, "Seriously, though, why have you come here? If you're looking for Aqua, she should be getting hammered at your place...in more ways than one, from what I hear..."
"Oooh~! Me, me, me! I also want to be hammered~!" exclaimed Lalatina, wagging her butt with such eagerness that Kazuma struggled to keep the pillow in place.
"Could you be quiet and stop wagging your ass...!" exclaimed Kazuma, the flush in his face becoming more prominent as he took a moment to silence Lalatina with a red ball gag, causing the golden-haired, ponytailed beauty to become even more frenzied but ultimately remain still after he gave her ass a firm and loud smack before covering it with a mantle.
'Are all the women from this world so animated...?' Vahn wondered, doing his best to appear calm as he explained, "I came here in response to your complaint. You're actually the first to issue a formal complaint against me or the Dragon's Pavilion, so I wished to address it directly and in the most expedient manner..."
"Yeah, well, a head's up would have been nice..." retorted Kazuma, red to the tips of his ears and his expression noticeably pouty and embarrassed, but his tone surprisingly calm as he sat back and asked, "So, how do you plan to address my complaint? Aqua was our party's only healer, and now that she's basically refusing to go on Quests, it's affecting the earnings of our entire party. If I hadn't already secured passive forms of income, we'd be in an even worse—"
Before Kazuma could finish speaking, Lalatina sneakily used her left hand to tug at the fabric of the mantle covering her butt, once against exposing her pulsating anus and quivering, increasingly wet pussy. She very clearly wanted Vahn to be able to see both, so after closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Kazuma left her to do as she pleased, met Vahn's gaze, and asked, "So, how do you plan to fix this...?"
"That's for you to decide..." responded Vahn, resisting the urge to stare at the tantalizing sight before him but admiring it through his domain as he produced what looked like a solid gold chess piece fashioned to resemble a Phoenix as he explained, "If you simply seek the means to evade death, we've prepared this. If you accept it, it will restructure your body to grant you the lineage of a Phoenix. From then on, so long as you do not suffer a mental collapse or have your soul sealed away or destroyed, even having your head severed or your body blown up wouldn't kill you. You would be able to regenerate from and, with training, manipulate flames that burn as hot as the sun's surface."
"Wait, seriously...?" asked Kazuma, his eyes widening to their limits as he had always wanted the power to produce and manipulate flames. At the same time, imaging Kazuma burning her body or dripping hot candle wax onto it, Lalatina abruptly orgasmed, causing the G-spot dildo in her pussy to shoot out and tumble near Vahn's feet.
"..."
"..."
"Oh, my..."
Wanting the encounter to end as quickly as possible, Kazuma, his ears nearly as red as the lounge beneath him, coughed into his left hand, met Vahn's gaze, and stated, "Honestly, when I initially filed that complaint, I wasn't expecting a response. But the power to regenerate from any injury and wield flames would be super useful in our Quest to vanquish the Devil King."
"Well, despite what you might think, I don't like to inconvenience people," responded Vahn, offering a cramped smile as he tossed the golden chess piece, known as a Phoenix King Piece, at Kazuma. It was similar to an Evil Piece, but instead of binding the recipient to a specific person, it drew out a person's potential and restructured their body without obligation.
Catching the piece out of the air, Kazuma resisted the urge to retort that it seemed like Vahn existed to inconvenience him and instead inspected the Phoenix King Piece between his left index finger and thumb, asking, "How do I use it...?"
"Find someplace open, ideally without anything flammable nearby, and place it against your chest," explained Vahn, demonstrating with his right hand. "After that, the piece will fuse with your body, and you will gain the power and lineage of a Phoenix. You will need to train to refine your inner flame and draw out the bloodline's latent potential, but the regeneration is passive and near-instantaneous."
"Alright, sounds good..." responded Kazuma, nodding. Then, though he would prefer it if Vahn departed, he briefly glanced at Lalatina, wagging her butt invitingly, before looking back and gesturing toward her with his head. He and Lalatina fed off and fueled each others' pervertedness, but he strongly believed in the age-old principle of never sticking his dick in crazy. So, since Vahn was there and she very clearly wanted it, he figured he might present her as a sacrificial offering while he went somewhere to facilitate his presumed fiery transformation.
'Is he serious...?' Vahn asked himself, raising his right brow as one of the last things he expected when he teleported over, outside of Lalatina bent over and completely naked atop Kazuma's right thigh, was him ostensibly offering to let him have a go at her. Sis confirmed that the two weren't in a committed relationship, but as the situation made apparent, they were far from ordinary companions. And while Lalatina was an exceptional beauty, Vahn couldn't imagine the renowned masochist restraining herself and not requesting virtually everyone she encountered to mock, torture, or exploit her. The vast majority were immediately scared off by her enthusiasm, but it only took one person giving in to her pleas, and she would probably feel even more aroused by the immorality of cheating...
