Harem Hero

Family Planning

While a part of you wanted to summon four different DxD girls and see the chaos unfold, you're not really ready to unleash that kind of disaster unto the mortal realm just yet. You settle for a more business focused meeting between you, Rias, Akeno and Xenovia. And where better to hold this 'family' meeting than your newly refurbished mansion! It only took a few days for the veritable army of contractors that Venelana hired to get things in order.

Now you have running water, working electricity, properly insulated rooms and even some of the furniture that Rias has ordered to decorate the place with. A tiled recreation of the Gremory clan's crest has been laid into the lobby floor between the embrace of the twin staircases. It's a classy kind of ostentatious gothic. With polished wooden furniture and heavy splashes of deep colour. You were sceptical about Rias' choices at first, but seeing and experiencing it has made you a firm believer. It's a different vibe to most big, expensive houses around here. They're a touch too boring for your liking, always obsessed with modern furniture and bland colours.

Soon that same kind of renovation will be coming to Mitsuru's newly purchased industrial estate. She wanted to gestate the planning process a little more before giving Venelana the go ahead. You also believe that she's going to be asking for something low-key so that it doesn't attract a bunch of unwanted attention, even though the surrounding area has been undergoing a rather extreme regeneration in the past few years.

"This is better than the clubhouse," Xenovia comments idly as you assemble in the living room. There are still a lot of finishing touches to be made. The bookcases that line the far-side wall haven't actually been filled with décor, tomes or the television just yet. You're sure that those things will come with time and use.

Akeno stands silently behind Rias, who has taken point in the big, single armchair that rests at the end of the coffee table. Rias twirls a lock of her hair, "We had a much higher budget. The work on the clubhouse had to be concealed from the school authorities, after all. The building itself was also left to decay for a very long time."

As for the topic of discussion – Xenovia hadn't kept her peace for very long after your first meeting together. She had immediately waylaid Rias with a sudden request to become one of your wives, and to have children with you. As the thirstiest character in a franchise filled with thirsty characters, you are not surprised by her eagerness. Rias clearly has an issue with that idea. The fact that you even have to consider this kind of thing shows how much of an overly lucky bastard you are. Men would kill to have this kind of 'problem.'

"Shall we get to the point?" you ask.

Rias clears her throat and addresses Xenovia directly, "I understand that you have taken a liking to my fiancé, Xenovia."

She bows her head respectfully, "Yes. I know that it seems sudden and impulsive of me." Two words that fit her perfectly.

"There is no need to apologise. We are the three with the most expressed interest in doing such a thing," Rias explains, "Which is why I have called us here to have a chat."

A thought springs to mind, "Hm. What about Venelana?"

"My Mother said that I must learn to handle these issues myself. As the future lady of the house, it will be my responsibility to ensure a firm and fair regime that allows your wives to enjoy their time with you to its fullest. I suppose you could say it is an extension of my existing peerage duties."

"I see."

Rias smiles, "Do not take her abdication as an indicator of her own desire. She would be more than happy to bear me another brother or sister by your making."

She never lets a chance to fluster you go, does she?

Xenovia is firm and leaps back into the conversation with an incredible demand; "President. Please permit me to practice 'baby-making' with your fiancé. I believe that he is the perfect mate, capable of creating a strong child."
