Wrought Iron Devil: Gate of Blades

Kitsune

In the aftermath of forming a more romantic connection to a Valkyrie, your mind had now gone to the next woman. The result of that adventure in Kyoto: the kitsune, Yasaka.

In the time thinking about it, something hit you. Virtually every female you were involved with was older than you. They could be senior by years, decades, and in some cases technically centuries or millennia.

The only exceptions were Ravel and Irina, and even that could be in doubt. The reason for that was that it was never made quite clear how long it took for a pure Devil to mature. True, it could be assumed that they grew up to adulthood in the same times as humans. The fact of the matter was that Rias' parents looked like they were in their late twenties at the earliest. Ravel's mother also was young in appearance.

Clarification however meant breaking a golden rule: Never ask a woman about their age.

This raised the question, how does one date a mature woman as a late teen? It was Japan and thus the age difference was not a problem, assuming the supernatural world even cared. One might argue that you had already dated mature women. Scàthach came to mind easily. You could also say the same for Gilgamesh, Raynare, Rossweisse and even Akeno was senior.

Except all of them had past interactions with you before it turned romantic. There was time to get to know them and what they liked. Your time with Yasaka on the other hand had been just one day. You did not know where to start. Oh, and she was a mother. So maybe the question was less how to date a mature kitsune woman and more how to date a MILF.

This indecision did not cease when your thoughts went to the next person on the list. Nor did it help that the issue was being forced in the ORC after the usual meeting.

"I have something extra for you (F/n)." Azazel told you. "The Yokai Faction, or Princess Yasaka to be more precise, requests your presence at Kyoto tomorrow."

"Already?" Was your response.

"Maybe it's Grail War stuff." Issei suggested.

"Nope. That being said, the Yokai Faction is firmly on our side." Azazel mentioned. "Saving their leader was the final nail, but the fact that Sitri's servant is Tamamo No Mae was already swaying them."

"Maybe.... Hey (F/n), you good?" Issei asked.

"Not really. Up till this point, I had an idea or a plan. Now I'm going in blind." You said.

"Then it's a good thing she made the first move." Akeno smirked from her cuddle position with you on the sofa.

"Yeah." That solved a problem. It still did not answer several others.

.....

Next day found yourself in casual wear, having a note for your absence from school in the hands of Rossweiss. To facilitate travel to Kyoto, Azazel made the teleportation sigil. Thanks to the incident there, the Yokai faction had allowed for the coalition to teleport there freely. So one kiss goodbye from Akeno and you were back in Kyoto in a flash of light.

As expected, you were teleported with Mordred to the Yokai side of town. It would have a bit awkward if you suddenly flashed into existence in front of everyday people.

"Hey! (F/n)!" The person to greet you was none other than the daughter of your date. Kunou ran up to you in greeting, fox tails wagging.

"What's up Kunou?" You asked the kit.

"Mother sent me here to greet you. She needed to handle some political business. Greetings Mordred." She explained. "Follow me."

So you did, tailing Kunou as she ascended the steps of one of Kunou's many temples or shrines.
