Ch 113: Kicking butts when needed is what friends are for.

After receiving permission to teleport into her room, Noah did so, and found Seekvaira sitting at her desk, with many precision tools and bits of metal and plastic scattered on a silicon work mat. She was focused on one such plastic piece, using a small scalpel to create grooves on it.

Noah silently took one of the chairs and sat beside her, watching her work.

When she was done with that bit, she looked at him and smiled.

"Hi, Noah. How are you doing?"

"Everything's going rather well. These last few days, I eliminated seven candidates in the Devil King War. By eliminated, I mean that I killed only two, since I'm not into killing unless it's really justified. I'm trying to deal with the minor matters before the next major crisis. Is that your next project? It kinda makes me want to start one as well, but I don't have time for that yet."

"Yes. It's a Takeda Shingen, but I'm making a custom version of it!" she grinned as she fished from the desk's side the box of the model. It featured a mostly red mecha that was very obviously inspired from a Samourai, with its overlapping armor plates on the shoulders and battle skirt, and a mane of fiery red hairs attached to the head. The high-tech bow and the two katanas that the mecha used as weapons only increased the likeness.

"Hum, pretty damn cool." nodded Noah, admiring the high number of details of the model. "It's a Perfect Grade, right?"

In the world of mecha collectibles, aficionados had created several categories to describe the quality of their models.

HG, or High Grade, was essentially what one would expect from toys kids would play with. They were poorly detailed, quick to assemble and often made of cheap plastic, but the relatively small number of parts made them suited for frequent manipulation.

Next came MG, or Master Grade. They were more detailed and made of better plastics, but that was about it.

Real Grade models often came with a metal frame for added resistance, and the number of pieces, details and high cost clearly defined them as collector items for adults, not toys.

And lastly, the Perfect Grade was the top of the line. Often coming with metal frames, hundreds of highly detailed components, individually articulated fingers… and the price tag to go with it. The price was actually displayed on the box for this one, and Noah could have bought a game console for that money.

"Yes. And I'm adding groove patterns and other things to it to push it beyond PG!"

"Wow. You're going to spend a lot of time on this one."

"Yes. Hundreds of hours, likely. but who's counting."

"Are you going to use the original color scheme?"

Seekvaira shook her head.

"No. If it's a custom, it should have a different color scheme as well. I'm going to paint the armor pieces blue, and the other parts will mostly be dark gray."

"I look forward to seeing it in when it's done." he nodded.

"Yes. I'll show it to you then. And then I'll start working on a small diorama to make it shine. This aside, have you come for another demonstration?"

"Not really." sighed Noah. "I just can't wrap my head about the concept of time. It's too obtuse for me. So, I'm looking for the alternative way to use it."

"I see."

"What do you think about it, Seekvaira? By now, you should have a good idea of what your life will be like, if you choose to stay. Are you willing to be mine?"

"I've had a lot of discussions with Rias and some of your girls, yes. I'm a bit uneasy about the whole bondage thing, but we get along well, and you're leagues better than the other people my family might choose for me."

"Only Sairaorg comes anywhere close." she chuckled. "The others are all like Riser or even worse."

"Yeah, I'm not a great fan of most devil nobles in general." admitted Noah.

"And then there's this whole immortality and power upgrade aspect to consider. As a King, I can't say I'm not interested. The Peerages under you will soon dominate the Rating Games. Plus, you're not bad looking at all, and I hear you're great in bed. I'd be a fool to turn you down, for so many reasons. So, my peerage and I are yours to take. Be gentle with us, okay?"

Noah smiled as he put an arm around her shoulders. Seekvaira had eight people in her peerage, three men and five girls. And Seekvaira had some quirky preferences about them, as she dressed them all as butlers.

"I will. And I am grateful that you are willing to entrust yourself to me, Seekvaira. I'm not touching the male members of your peerage, though. If you really want them to benefit from my abilities, you'll have to dominate them yourself, and without having sex with them."

"I'll think about it later, when I get more comfortable with being in a BDSM relationship." nodded Seekvaira.

Noah leaned forward slowly, and Seekvaira closed her eyes. He kissed her, and she returned it after a short hesitation.

She moaned softly as he inserted his tongue in her mouth and began exploring it. After a minute, he pulled back.

"Did you like that?" he asked with a grin.

"Yes. Your saliva is a bit sweet somehow."

Noah smiled as he rose, and took her hand, pulling slightly. She stood and he guided her to her bed.

"How about I give you your first lesson? It will be a simple one, involving only a blindfold and a single pair of leather cuffs. No actual sex, and only heavy petting."

Seekvaira nodded, and Noah removed her outfit, leaving her in her lacy white underwear. He produced a pair of leather cuffs and slowly fastened them around her wrists, binding her arms behind her. She moved her arms, testing her limited range of movements.

Noah removed her glasses, placing them on the nightstand, and fastened the leather blindfold over her eyes.

"How do you feel so far? Is it scary?"

She snorted at him.

"I'm made of sterner stuff, Noah. I'm not going to panic over just this much. But I am getting hot and bothered. Don't make me wait."

"Good girl." grinned Noah, sitting in the middle of her bed and making her lie across his lap, like a music instrument, waiting for his hands to make pleasant sounds.

Seekvaira had quite a nice body, as expected from a female character originating from the DxD fiction. Her breasts were a little lackluster compared to most of his girls, but that was something he could and would fix.

Noah started exploring her body with his hands, evaluating her reactions to find her weak points, and it wasn't long before she was gasping and moaning softly. Noah kept rubbing, kneading, and massaging her. After a while, she started begging him.

"Noah… Please… don't leave me like this… Give it to me."

"Seekvaira, since we're in this situation, you should address me in a more appropriate way, don't you think?"

"…Master."

"Good girl." he praised her as he lowered her panties and fingered her clit directly for an instant, before inserting two fingers in her sopping wet pussy. Studying her reaction, he found her G-spot and rubbed it with increasing speed as his thumb rubbed her.

"Owww!" gasped Seekvaira as she experienced a strong orgasm, and Noah extended it as long as he could as she convulsed in his arms.

When she went limp, gasping for help, Noah removed the blindfold, sat her down and gave her a quick kiss. None of them spoke for a few minutes as he held her against him and the recovered.

"What do you think, Seekvaira?" he gently asked.

"Well, that was quite something… Being unable to see made me more sensitive, and you're very good with your fingers. Too good, really."

"A certain ability of mine may or may not be involved, but I also have a lot of experience giving girls pleasure, too."

"I'm sure." smiled Seekvaira.

Noah kissed her again, and lifted her off his lap. He removed the leather cuffs, and created a maid uniform for her. With a black leather choker, and a set of black latex underwear.

"So, I'm one of your maids now?" she asked with a smile.

"Yes. I have to go now to get some training done, but when I return, I want to see your wear it. It has all the usual enhancements."

"Fine. I look forward to my next lesson." she replied.

Noah grinned and teleported to Hueco Mundo.

…

Rui was panting on her bed, trying to stifle a long moan, as her clit and nipples were stimulated by the chastity bra and belt she wore. She wanted to cum so badly. Then the stimulation stopped, and she gasped.

Suzu must have felt playful this time, as she had subjected Rui to that sweet torture for ten minutes, then stopped. And when Rui had calmed down and thought that it was over for the day, the stimulation resumed. That was twenty minutes ago.

Rui didn't know how she had managed to hold on for that long, but she was at the end of her rope. Only the pleasure she felt from being denied had stopped her from going to her Master and revealing her secret arrangement with Suzu. But she couldn't endure much…

Someone knocked at her door, and Rui heard a familiar voice.

"Rui, you're there?" asked Alice.

"Coming!"

Rui hurriedly stood and hurriedly put her maid uniform back on. Thanks to the many enhancements of the outfit, she didn't have to worry about it looking crumpled or anything.

Rui opened the door, and Alice entered, smiling.

"How are you doing, Rui?"

"I'm… fine."

"Are you sure? You look a little flustered."

"Yes, I'm sure."

"I noticed over the last few days that you always leave us girls to isolate yourself in your room after 22h00. and…" Alice suddenly sniffed the air.

"Oh, that's what was happening. Sorry for interrupting." grinned Alice.

Rui became beet red.

"That is…"

On impulse, Alice decided to comfort her friend by giving her a hug and telling her that this kind of embarrassment was nothing, after all they had experienced recently. And they both froze when they heard the sound of two hard objects thumping against each other through two layers of cotton.

"Oh." She said as she placed a hand on Rui's back where the straps of a bra would normally meet and felt something hard underneath Rui's clothes. She lowered that hand to Rui's hip to confirm the presence of another hard object.

"Double Oh. You're wearing both a chastity belt and bra?"

"Well…" fidgeted Rui, her tanuki ears twitching.

"I can't believe we didn't notice earlier. But that explains why you're never in the mood for a swim. Is it Noah who put those on you?"

"…He doesn't know. It's…Suzu."

"Ah, that naughty girl! The face of an angel, but she's just as perverted as Master." sighed Alice. Not that she didn't appreciate Suzu's naughtiness herself, and had already gotten involved in a threesome between her and the twins twice, where they took turns dominating each other, and she had loved the experience.

"How long have you been belted?" she asked Rui with compassion.

"…From the beginning. The same day as you." sighed Rui as she sat on her bed.

"And you've managed to endure so far?" asked Alice, an eyebrow raised.

"Yes. At the beginning, I was just curious, and I asked Suzu to test the passive belt in secret, for a week. And, I liked it. You know, being aware that you can't relieve yourself. It's strangely exciting."

"I am very familiar with that feeling, yes." smiled Alice, knocking on her own chastity belt through her maid uniform.

Rui nodded and continued. "She released me as agreed, so I got some… fun time, let's call it like that, and then, I asked her for more time with a belt. And, things have sort of escalated from there. Now, the belt and the bra are passive most of the time, but she has a remote, and every evening after 22:00, she…"

"I see… You're having a lot of fun. So when is she releasing you next?"

"That's the thing. She isn't."

"She's not? She's going to keep you in permanent chastity? That's…"

"No, that would be too much!" retorted Rui. "But she told me she's not removing it, and if I want it off… I have to ask him."

"Oh…"

Alice nodded and sat beside her.

"You don't want to become Noah's slave? I understand that you might have reservations, but let me tell you, girl, you're missing on some great sex!"

"I… don't have the courage to go to him." admitted Rui. "I know I'm going to end up as his slave, and I don't really dislike the idea, but I keep chickening out…"

"I understand." nodded Alice, taking her smartphone from her pocket.

"W-What are you doing? Please don't tell him!" panicked Rui.

"I'm not." laughed Alice. "I'm asking if he would be available ten minutes from now. If you need a kick in the butt, I'll be happy to help!"

"Hugh." whined Rui. But she didn't attempt to seize Alice's phone or stop her from sending a message.

The answer came a minute later.

"And it's a go! Come here, Rui. We need to get you ready for your big night. I'll deliver you to him bound, gagged and wrapped up with a nice gift ribbon! He will love it, and so will you!"

Rui groaned, completely flustered as her friend grabbed her hand and dragged her to Noah's room.

…

Noah had just finished another round of "punishment" with Lady Phenex when his phone vibrated. Grayfia wanted to speak to him.

He took a quick shower, dressed himself, and left Elisabeth bound inside a vacuum bed, her head covered by the leather discipline helmet, sticking out of the top sheet. Three vibrators had been taped over her breasts and clit, stimulating her at random intervals. It was the start of her third day, and she had been toyed with a lot, by himself or the twins, only given just barely enough rest to recover.

Noah smiled as he teleported back to his mansion and sent a message to Grayfia. Moments later, she teleported.

"Hi, Grayfia."

"Greetings, Noah-sama." she smiled while making a curtsy. Noah noted that she mostly wore the outfit he had made for her, since that day where she became his maid.

"Do you want anything to drink?"

"Thank you, but I'll decline. I see that you have completed your relocation." she said as she noticed that, while the room still had furniture, it didn't feel lived in. All personal items had been removed.

"Yes. Would you like me to give you a tour of your future home?"

"Yes, please." she smiled as she took his hand.

Noah teleported them in front of his massive palace in Hagun island, so she could take in the view, then gave her a tour, ending on one of the rooms of the last floor. From the windows, they could see a large part of the island and some of the other palaces.

"Noah-sama, this whole Island is yours?" asked Grayfia, impressed.

"Yes. Lilith-sama, in her infinite wisdom, had apparently seen fit to provide me with such luxurious accommodations, and considering the scale, seem to be thinking long term. Very long term. My descendants won't have to share rooms for a while, I suppose. It's a good thing the palaces are cleaning and repairing themselves, or I'd need a battalion of maids."

"As you say, Noah-sama. But I am a bit miffed if my role as a maid is going to become redundant." frowned Grayfia.

"Not redundant, but I can see a few changes necessary, yes. Maybe a greater emphasis on dealing with people rather than floors and windows. There will always be a need for things like preparing or serving tea, and so on. And I am thinking about making you the head of my intelligence division, Grayfia, since you already have extensive experience on that field."

"Yes, Noah-sama."

Noah smiled as he sat on the bed, and taped his left thigh once as he looked at her. Understanding, Grayfia blushed slightly.

"Please excuse me, Noah-sama." she said as she sat across his lap, and he put an arm around her waist.

"It's always a pleasure to see you, my adorable maid. But did you wish to speak about something urgent?"

"Not very urgent, Noah-sama. I first wanted to inform you that Azazel will bring along a VIP from the Asgard Faction. Odin himself. He has heard a few things about you and wish to confirm the rumors. Odin is also in favor of a formal peace treaty between the three factions, even if he is an outsider."

"I know a few things about Odin, from what Lilith told me." nodded Noah. "The old guy is a pervert, and not shy about showing it, but he knows not to go after women who are already taken or say no. Which isn't something I can say for most of the Greek gods. I think Odin and I will get along."

Grayfia smiled as she imagined Noah and Odin together in a strip club.

"That is also my impression, Noah-sama. Serafall has an easy time dealing with Odin and most of Asgard, but she once told me that if you shake hands with the Greeks, you should count your fingers afterward. And that they will not hesitate to violate treaties if they think they are in a position of strength. And that's the most polite thing she has to say about them."

Noah nodded. Serafall Leviathan, as one of the five Great Satans, was quite a busy person. In addition to her international career as Magical Girl Sera-chan, she also served as the Devils' foreign minister.

"The second motive of my visit is about Lady Phenex. When I tried to contact her yesterday, some of her servants informed me that she is visiting you." said Grayfia, looking at him carefully. Noah understood that she was looking for signs of him being under Elisabeth's influence.

"That is correct. You were right about her, Grayfia. She did try to hypnotize me. Didn't work so well for her."

Grayfia nodded, satisfied, but still paying close attention.

"From what I learned, Ravel has been trying to talk to her mother as well and was surprised to hear that she has yet to come back from her meeting with you. I expect that she will very soon try to speak to you about it, if she hasn't already."

"…That's going to be a difficult conversation. Elisabeth is currently in one of the playrooms in the basement. Do you wish to see her?"

"If you do not mind." replied Grayfia.

"I don't. You've already seen me doing some outrageously depraved things, what's one more?" shrugged Noah.

Taking Grayfia's hand, Noah let her to the basement. On the way, Grayfia heard some slight muffled noises coming from one of the doors.

"Inside are four former candidates of the Devil King War." shrugged Noah. "Raynare, Mittelt and Kalawarna are training them. Soon enough, I will have more devoted maids."

"I see. It is their good fortune to become part of your family." nodded Grayfia, her face not showing any empathy for the women in question or disapproval over their treatment.

"Our family, don't you mean?"

"Point taken, Noah-sama." smiled Grayfia.

He led her to another door and opened it for her. Grayfia entered and paused as she stared at Lady Phenex. Or rather, the human shape, bound in latex and leather, writhing and moaning lustfully as the vibrators did their work.

"Lady Phenex has been a bad girl, trying to hypnotize me last week. And she came wearing a leather dominatrix outfit under her dress. When I turned the tables on her, I found out that she was quite the masochist as well, so I took away her ability to orgasm and forced her to edge herself twice a day, and send me videos of it."

"When I called her after returning from Soul Society, she had a dagger hidden in her dress, but I found out that she actually brought it as an excuse for me to punish her. I think I may have broken her. She now wants to be defeated and punished."

Grayfia shook her head slightly, still staring at Elisabeth.

"It's not that, Noah-sama. She's not really broken. Most devil women would react the same."

"What do you mean?" asked Noah, and Grayfia turned toward him.

"Noah-sama, I think you are making the mistake of assuming that Devils, by and large, are just like selfish humans with stronger bodies and magic power, and a much longer lifespan. But you may be overlooking the importance of personal power and social stratification within the devil society."

"From birth, and especially among nobles, we devils learn that strength is paramount, and that obeying someone who is stronger, or belong to a high-ranked house, is the natural order of things. You could say that most devils, male or female, are taught that they should dominate those weaker than them and submit to those who prove stronger."

"I'm starting to see where you are going." nodded Noah.

"Yes... There are exceptions, of course, but most devils end up developing a latent submissive or even masochistic streak, as a result of the environment they are raised in. A trait that will stay dormant in strong or powerful people like Lady Phenex while they are on top of their world, but will manifest with a vengeance if someone bring them down from their pedestals."

"And considering the kind of 'punishment' you are inflicting on her... It wouldn't be surprising is she quickly grew addicted to it."

Noah nodded, as he walked over to Elisabeth's form and shut down the vibrators. Weak moans of protest escaped the gag and discipline helmet. Lifting her head slightly, Noah reached the laces and removed the helmet. Elisabeth blinked as her eyes got accustomed to the room's lightning, and her eyes widened in fear as she noticed Grayfia standing nearby.

Noah removed her gag, and Grayfia smiled amiably as she nodded her head.

"Good morning, Lady Phenex."

"G-Good morning, Grayfia." replied Elisabeth, blushing intensely.

"Slave, Grayfia told me that Ravel is starting to get worried about you, so we'll stop your punishment." said Noah as he unsealed the vacuum bed, and the two latex sheets stopped sticking to her body and spread apart, causing a burst of cool air to hit her sweaty skin.

"…Y-Yes."

"Yes, who?"

"Yes, Master." replied Elisabeth. Grayfia's presence and silent judgement threw her off and made the whole thing a lot more embarrassing!

Noah unbuckled the straps around her wrists and ankles and helped her slip her head out of the hole in the top latex sheet, and she sat awkwardly on the edge of the bed, naked, not daring to look at Grayfia.

"Elisabeth, I will let you choose how to tell the truth to Ravel. Do you want to tell her yourself how you got yourself in this situation, or do you prefer for me to tell her?"

"M-Master, is t-telling her really necessary? Please…" panicked Elisabeth.

Noah smiled gently as he patted her head.

"It is. She'll have to know at some point, so we may as well get it over with. I'm willing to give you a bit of time before you tell her, but if she comes to me to ask why you just spent over two days in my home, I won't lie to her."

Elisabeth gulped, and slowly nodded.

"I-I will tell her, Master."

Noah smiled, took from his inventory the invisible collar, and fastened it on her neck.

"Now, about your daily task, I have some good news and bad news. Which one do you want first?"

"…The bad news, Master."

"The number will go from 100 to 150."

Elisabeth groaned. But Noah didn't miss her pressing her legs together and the muscles of her lower abdomen clenching. She was aroused by the idea or being bullied more.

"As for the good news, it is one I know you will like a lot. I am not going to put that mark on you, and you will have my permission to cum whenever you want."

"Ah!" she gasped, suddenly looking at him like a poor soul stranded in Hell suddenly being offered a rope to climb to Heaven.

"There are two conditions, however. You must thank me for granting you permission whenever you cum. And you must not have sex with any other man. I will ask you from times to times when we meet from now on, and I can detect lies. If you violate those conditions, the mark goes back on you, and your training will be more intense."

"Yes, Master. I won't let any other man touch me." nodded Elisabeth, feeling intense relief. Those wouldn't be hard conditions for her to uphold. After what she had experienced since meeting Noah, she would have a hard time not thinking about Noah when she pleasured herself, and declaring her gratefulness to him was something she had already done a lot. And she just couldn't feel any desire toward her husband. He just felt so, weak, pathetic, and inadequate. Part of it was her own fault, as she had trained him to be completely submissive to her, but it was too late to undo those changes now.

"I do not mind if you fool around with a woman. Now, go take a shower and get dressed, and think about what you're going to say to Ravel."

Elisabeth nodded hurriedly and walked to the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

Noah looked at Grayfia.

"Noah-sama, I will restrain my curiosity and not ask about what that number means exactly, but what was that about, with mimicking putting a collar on her?"

Noah smiled as he took another collar from his inventory.

"Give me your hand, Grayfia."

She did, and raised an eyebrow as she felt something she couldn't see being placed in her hand. Feeling the leather, she asked.

"And she has been wearing one like this since your first meeting with her?"

Noah nodded with a mischievous smile and took the collar back. "Do not tell anyone."

"Yes, Noah-sama."

"Thanks… And I have seen how you stared at Elisabeth, Grayfia… You wanted to take her place, right? To be the one wearing this hood… bound with latex pressing all over your skin… plunged in darkness and silence and being played with…" suggested Noah with a knowing smile.

Grayfia opened her mouth to deny it by reflex, but then she remembered that she wouldn't be able to lie to him, and she nodded with a blush.

"When you're done training your successor and move in with us, I will make you experience plenty of comparable things, Grayfia."

"…Yes, Noah-sama... What I said about devils also applies to me. You may not have defeated me yet, strictly speaking, but seeing you dominate your women, over and over, has still caused that streak of mine to slowly surface."

"And I guess that you working as a maid for Venelana-sama for a long time has contributed as well."

"…That's very possible, Noah-sama." nodded Grayfia in thought. She wouldn't admit it, but over the decades of serving her Mistress, she did have a few occasional stray thoughts of serving her in the bed as well.

Noah recovered the tools that had been used on Elisabeth. They were already clean and ready to be used again, thanks to their magic enhancements. He put them back on the shelves and chatted with Grayfia about news of the things happening in the underworld until Elisabeth came out of the bathroom, dressed in a red and yellow Victorian dress. She looked like a prim and proper noble lady again, if a flustered one.

"Elisabeth, I will teleport you both back to my mansion in Ginsei city, and then you can both discuss whatever Grayfia wanted to talk to you about."

They both took his extended hands, and Noah brought them back to his mansion.

"Ravel is still in the Gremory mansion in Kuoh town with most of the peerage, as far as I'm aware. I'm helping them all move in there tomorrow."

"Yes, Master." nodded Elisabeth.
