Harem Hero

Greeting Belfast

Lala and Momo have started to scheme without your input, so you decide that the best course of action is to do something on your own to try and win Nana over. Since she's disappointed about your perceived lack of strength versus your fictional counterpart, you decide to speak with some of the other girls to try and get a little bit stronger. You convene the meeting in the sitting room of your new mansion.

It took some time to consider who would be the best fit. Motoko is talented, but her entire body is cybernetic. Unless you're willing to remove your flesh and blood – she can't help you in the way that you need her to. Chun-Li's training is going along at a normal pace, so she can't do anything more. The first answer on your mind is Rias and Akeno.

"I'm afraid that humans can't use magic like devils can," Rias says solemnly. Despite the serious subject matter, both she and Akeno couldn't resist sneaking a deep french kiss from you. Now they're sitting extremely close and holding onto your arms like the doting girlfriends they are.

Akeno concurs, "Unfortunately, Rias is correct – mortals were not granted the ability to wield magic as we can."

"And the only way to use that would be to become a devil myself, huh?"

"I know that you already asked about it; I don't mean to seem like I'm forcing you into something you don't want. You've always been respectful of my wishes," Rias says. "I should mention that Mother still has most of her evil pieces. If you wish to become a devil one day, she'll keep a hold of one for you."

"Really? I thought that a high-level devil like her would have a peerage already."

"Mother isn't one for participating in rating games anymore. She has a pawn or two to keep the house in order but otherwise retains them. She traded away her strongest fighters before I was born."

You nod along with her explanation. She can probably take care of herself anyway. You've never summoned Venelana into a fight, but you don't believe for a second that she's a helpless housewife. Even the lowest-level devils are extremely powerful, with enhanced physical attributes, endurance, and magical firepower. To be the head of one of the largest devil houses in the underworld demands some composure.

"This Nana girl sounds familiar to a troublesome kitten we all know," Akeno giggles. "Koneko-chan has been driving herself mad thinking about you, hubby."

"I highly doubt that. She didn't want anything to do with me last time."

"Fufufu – your words had more of an effect than you realise. Koneko was very happy when you accepted her true nature and encouraged her to master it. She's been training hard every day because of you."

Rias titters and admonishes her, "There's no need to entrap Koneko by spilling all of her secrets, Akeno."

"I get the feeling that hubby already knew that Koneko was going to do this..."

"I did," you respond, "But you shouldn't talk behind her back about it. I get that she has problems with being honest about her past and personal feelings."

Rias plants her hand on your thigh, "I agree. It's disconcerting to Koneko-chan that you already know her past and history. You're going to have to earn her trust before she'll open up to you for real. I'm looking forward to inducting her into your harem, hubby."

"I'm starting to think you get a sick thrill out of this."

Rias pouts mockingly, "When did I ever give you that impression, darling? There's nothing strange about wanting to see my beloved servants as your loyal concubines." Akeno giggles along with her as they both start to get more touchy-feely with you, running hands across your body and planting a lot of kisses on your neck and cheeks. You adjust your belt and try to keep things on topic. You have to remind yourself that one of Rias' main plotlines in the third season was being jealous of the other girls...
