Ch 200: No shortcuts for you!

Chisato watched with amazement as Glasya-Lagolas, the massive Demonic Pillar, collapsed at last. It had taken a while for them to destroy every eye, with Chisato and Saika focusing on those on the Pillar's upper body while the rest of their companions targeted those more easily accessible, but they had done it at last. Then Nero used her Noble Phantasm and severed half of the Pillar at its base. Medusa's Noble Phantasm had finished it.

"Great job, everyone!" yelled Chisato, happy to be almost done with this world.

"Umu! This was a refreshing fight!" grinned Nero as she walked back.

"When will you depart?" asked Mitsu, emerging from Chisato's shadow.

"It would take too much time to head back to the capital to say goodbye properly. So, sorry, but we'll leave within a few minutes."

"Tenno understands. He thanks you for the help and the information you have provided him. He promises you that he will finish straightening out Aquecia before leaving himself."

"Yeah." smiled Chisato. "Please say goodbye from me to Juri and Milti as well. I will miss them."

"I will tell them. Take care, Chisato. Tenno and I wish you luck."

Chisato nodded and walked a little away to let the others say goodbye to Mitsu, and to John Barton. He had just recently relocated to Aquecia to take the reins and keep undoing the wrongs done by the four heroes.

"Is it done?" asked Elder Baiyu. She had stayed behind a little, protecting the two Yangxu princesses. "Yes. Everyone should gather near me. We are about to leave this world."

Zi and Ji came closer, as well as Edelys, Alote and Franziska, and Hitomi looked like she was going to panic. Chisato walked to her and put her hands on her shoulders.

"What's wrong, Hitomi? You don't look well."

Hitomi shook herself and tried to regulate her breathing. "I'll be fine. It's just that I'm realizing I'm never going to see Kojiro and Umeka again, and I'll be alone in a completely different world. Well, not exactly alone, but…"

"I understand. We'll help you, don't worry. You won't be alone."

"Yes. Thank you, Chisato." nodded Hitomi, breathing deeply to calm herself.

Chisato nodded and took from her pocket the smartphone that Type : Moon had given her months ago.

"Chisato."

"Hi Hi! Have you followed the events on my timeline?"

"Yes. Congratulations. Are you ready to return?"

"Just to be sure, you will take with us the five people who agreed to join us, right? Do you need me to give you their names? Do you have enough juice to do it?"

"This isn't necessary. You will all return to Chaldea when you are ready."

Chisato looked around her, and they were waiting.

"It's fine to do it now, thank you."

"Understood."

A few seconds later, they were all in Chaldea's Rayshift room. A welcome party had gathered when Chisato and her people were fighting the Demonic Pillar.

"Welcome back, Chisato!"

Chisato flinched as she recognized the voice, and she turned to see Takina, smiling brightly. She instantly forgot everything else and jumped into her arms.

"Takina!"

Chisato and Takina hugged each other as if never wanting to let go, and they shared a quick kiss.

"I thought you were stuck with Noah." breathed Chisato, tearing up.

"Akeno used a special reward she earned for winning the Holy Grail War. Thanks to that, Olga-Marie and I were both allowed to return to Chaldea early. Kurumi and the others are still with Noah, though."

"I… see. I'm very grateful to her."

"From now on, we'll be going to other timelines together." muttered Takina.

"Yeah."

As the two reunited lovers were hugging, Sakura was doing the introductions.

Finally, Chisato became aware of the warm gazes focused on her and broke the hug, blushing. Takina smiled as she introduced herself to the newcomers, and they all moved to the cafeteria, where a celebration was being prepared.

It lasted for a few hours, then Takina took Chisato's hand, smiled, and led her to her own room.

"Oh, you have a Sanctuary as well?" asked Chisato, seeing a crystal ball showing a stone house on a beach.

"Yes. Noah created six more, as well as a bunch of spatial rings to make our work easier."

"That's very nice. And seeing how you're loading it with mana, I guess we're about to have a different kind of celebration."

"We will. For several days straight." grinned Takina, teleporting Chisato and herself inside, directly in one of the house's bedrooms.

She wasted no type kissing Chisato and started to remove her clothes, and Chisato was just as fast returning the favor.

"We'll do it as usual, Chisato." grinned Takina. "And after that, I'll start showing you some of the things I learned since we were separated."

…

Noah grinned as he gently pinched Yoruichi's nipples, and the bound woman groaned lustfully into her gag.

Since choosing to go all out, Noah has dressed Yoruichi in a full black latex bodysuit with integrated socks and gloves, then fastened steel shackles around her wrists and ankles, and a steel collar. He had her kneel on the bed's mattress, then lean back until her head and shoulders rested against the bed as well, and used a short chain to connect the back of her collar to an anal hook.

The chain was deliberately short, forcing Yoruichi to arch her back and lift her crotch and breast invitingly. An invitation Noah hadn't refused.

Yoruichi's wrists were chained to her ankles, keeping them out of the way. Her head was not free of bondage, either, as Noah had stretched a latex hood over her head. A hood with only two small rubber tubes for her nostrils and no openings for her eyes or mouth.

"Do you enjoy being a plaything, Yoruichi?" asked Noah as he gently rubbed her clit and kept kneading her latex-covered breasts.

"Mmphe!" snorted Yoruichi, squirming while suffering his ministrations. Whenever she moved too much, the chain pulled on her collar, choking her a little.

"You make some very sweet moans, my slave."

"Mrph mpha!" sighed Yoruichi.

Noah was about to insert two fingers into Yoruichi's hot pussy when his smartphone rang.

Noah frowned as he abandoned his impromptu musical performance and quickly dried his fingers with a towel and took the smartphone.

The call came from Akeno.

"Hi, Akeno. I miss you." grinned Noah.

Yoruichi, understanding what was happening, focused on not moaning anymore, but still squirmed in pleasure, making some pleasant sounds.

"Hi, Noah. I miss you too. Do you have a few minutes for a video call? There's someone who would like to speak to you. I offered her to join our family in return for you reviving her brother and taking care of her mother and brother in the future. She is one of the few who gained a local version of the system."

"Give me a minute." said Noah as he unclipped the chain from the back of Yoruichi's collar. He didn't expect her to risk choking herself if she suddenly lost strength, but there was no point risking it either. Since he didn't want her to get bored while he was away, Noah took a dildo-shaped vibrator, set it on medium, and put it deep inside Yoruichi's wet entrance.

Noah moved to the bathroom to check his appearance in the mirror and make certain he was presentable, then teleported into the garden. The gazebo was empty at this time, and he sat on one of the chairs.

"It's fine now." said Noah, and he accepted the video.

"Did your charisma increase? You seem even more gorgeous than I remember." smiled Noah.

"Flattery will get you somewhere. As a matter of fact, it did." laughed Akeno. "The new system and daily quests give me a lot of attribute points. Before long, I'll be stronger than you, Noah. At least until you find a way to make up for my higher attributes."

"I'm actually glad for it." shrugged Noah. "You're the one facing the most danger right now, and considering the stakes, the stronger you are, the less worried I'll be."

"Yeah. Anyway, Let me introduce you to one person." said Akeno as she changed the orientation of her smartphone "This is my newest friend, Sung Jinah. I told her that if she agreed to become your maid, you would revive her brother Sung Jinwoo and arrange for them to live in one of your worlds with their mother. Hell, I could have them live in my own territory, if necessary.

As a member of Rias's peerage, Akeno possessed a sizable territory in the Underworld.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, and you have my sincere condolences. Akeno told me previously that she was impressed by his courage and devotion to his family." said Noah with sympathy.

"Thank you." said Jinah with a choked voice, before she cleared her throat. "It is nice to meet you, too. How should I address you?"

"Just Noah is fine."

"Yes. You can call me Jinah as well. Can you tell me more about resurrection? How is that possible?"

"Has Akeno shown you her ability to convert her internal energy into material things?"

"Yes. She's not shy about making food and drinks, and she made me a spear."

"When I want to revive someone, I make a request via my own system. Lilith-sama or the System retrieves the soul from the afterlife, while the physical body is recreated using my internal energy. The soul is linked back to the body, and when it is done, the biological processes like the heart beating and breathing will be kickstarted. The person being revived wakes up shortly after, without any memory of the time when they were dead."

"Akeno mentioned a price, that you have to pay."

"That is correct. Lilith rewards me for my achievements, like curing people from cancer or dealing with Hollows, some kind of malevolent ghosts that occasionally prowl cities at night in Akeno's world, with a special currency. I can do various things with it, like exchanging for various upgrades to my abilities, or magic items. Or, I can exchange them for the right to use resurrection."

"This sounds similar to the gold pieces and the store in my system." slowly nodded Jinah.

"Yes. The amount I must pay depends on how strong the individual I want to revive is. A random, normal human would be the equivalent of a thousand healed patients. If I had to revive Akeno? Probably north of two hundred thousand by now."

"Why? That doesn't really make sense, if resurrection works as you said."

"I guess Lilith doesn't want me to abuse resurrecting people too much. I am going against the laws of nature, after all." shrugged Noah.

"I understand. You have a… harem, right? And if I accept being your maid, I would be part of it?"

Noah nodded with a soft smile.

"Yes. I am aware that this notion must be uncomfortable for you, since I am essentially a stranger at this point, but I will be honest. I want the members of my family to be happy with their lives. If, after a few weeks or months, you are unwilling to remain part of my harem, I can be satisfied with us just being friends, as long as you still consider me as your boss when it comes to using the abilities I would share with you."

"I… am not sure about this." confessed Jinah. "I mean, I already know that I'll accept it, if that's what it takes to save my brother, but… It's still a big jump to make."

"Yes, it is. And since I am hardly an objective party in this arrangement, you must be taking my word with a huge grain of salt. It's only natural." nodded Noah.

"Yes. Thank you for understanding."

"I have an idea. How about you talk directly to the first maid I come across? She still wouldn't be completely objective, but better than me, right?"

"Yes, please." nodded Jinah.

Noah nodded, oriented the smartphone so that Jinah would see where Noah was going, and walked back toward the palace.

"This place is really huge." said Jinah.

"Yes. A good thing that most of the house and garden chores are automated. My maids, although to be frank, the whole maid thing is more of an excuse to see my girls in cute uniforms, are meant to operate on the outside world and do some good, not waste valuable time cleaning windows."

Noah reached his palace and entered. He walked toward the main living room, and the first maid crossing his path suddenly fell on her butt with a yelp.

Once again, Reina had let the sheathed odachi strapped on her back be caught on a door frame.

"Are you okay, Reina?" asked Noah, walking to her and offering her a hand.

"Reina is fine, thank you, desu." smiled Reina as she took his hand.

"Reina, this is Jinah, who may or may not join our family in the future. Jinah, this is Reina, one of our greatest experts in swordsmanship." said Noah, pointing to his smartphone.

"H-Hello. I am Reina Koiwai. Pleased to meet you, desu." bowed Reina as she looked at the smartphone's screen.

"Hi. I am Sung Jinah. I am happy to meet you as well." smiled Jinah, starting to get affected by Reina's cuteness.

"Reina, Jinah has some reservations about becoming one of my maids. To give her an idea of what her future life might be like, can you tell her what you did yesterday, from start to finish?"

Reina considered for a few seconds, and nodded.

"Reina woke up, did her daily training for an hour, then went to the bathroom to take a shower and fix her appearance, desu. Then went to have breakfast in the kitchen with everyone else, desu. As it was Reina's turn to take up some of the requests for prisoners appeals, Reina went to the USA, France and China to interview four prisoners, desu. Three were innocent, and Reina ordered them freed."

"The fourth one was not, and Reina broke his legs as punishment instead of lengthening his sentence, as he was already sentenced for life, desu. Reina returned home for lunch, then went to the Wurzburg University Hospital in Germany to heal every serious injury or disease, desu."

"When Reina felt tired, she returned home and played video games with Ophis and Miyabi-senpai. Reina read some manga and then had dinner with everyone, desu. And then… then…"

Reina blushed. "…Does Reina have to say it?"

"I think it would be better, but you do not need to go into too many details." smiled Noah.

"…Yes… Reina wanted to feel good, desu. Reina asked Rias-senpai, and she agreed. Rias-senpai tied up Reina to her bed, and…"

"That's enough, you do not need to keep going, Reina. I think Jinah is getting the idea" cut in Noah, and Reina sighed in relief.

"Yeah, I do. Thank you, Reina." breathed Jinah, blushing.

"Well, what Reina just told you is the typical day of a maid in my family."

Jinah nodded, and took a deep breath.

"Thank you, Noah... I am willing to become your maid."

"That makes me very happy, Jinah. I look forward to meeting you in person." smiled Noah.

They discussed for a few more minutes before ending the call while Reina headed for the garden to train, then Noah returned to his bedroom.

"I'm back!"

"Mpha!" moaned Yoruichi.

"And I see the vibrator has fallen. You bad girl."

Noah put a Stop rune on her to prevent her from cumming, connected the chain of the anal hook back to her collar, set the juice-coated vibrator to a higher setting, pushed it back where it belonged, and resumed playing with her, with more intensity than before.

"For the next two hours, you don't get to cum, slave. When your punishment is over, I will give you a chance to beg your Master for his cock. If you beg properly, I will let you cum once, then put a chastity belt on you. One with two inserts that will vibrate at random. And if you don't beg well enough for my satisfaction, you don't get to cum, and you get the belt anyway."

"Gmphoar." groaned Yoruichi as she strained against her bondage.

…

"Takina, you look so good in that." breathed Chisato as she looked with hot eyes at her lover.

Takina grinned as she glanced down at herself. She wore skintight black leather pants and knee-high boots with high heels, a black leather corset with cups barely hiding her nipples, and black leather fingerless gloves ending just above the elbows. And she held a riding crop in her right hand.

"I think so, too. and you look delicious yourself, Chisato. It's a pity we didn't try those games with Aria."

Chisato nodded, unconsciously moving her hips in anticipation. Neither herself, Aria nor Takina had worn much leather when they were together, and certainly not in such a sexual context. They simply weren't very inclined toward experimentation and had preferred wearing cute clothes rather than sexy ones. But if she had seen Takina wear this raunchy getup before…

Chisato wore nothing but her racy red underwear. Chisato had her back against a black steel ladder, her ankles bound to its feet and her wrists to one of the rungs above her head by soft black leather cuffs.

"I believe we will have opportunities to make up for it eventually, Takina. Did Aria tell you?"

"About what?"

"That she's leaning toward joining Noah's harem. Because of us."

"She is?" asked Takina. The thought made her very happy. If they could all live together in the end, her life would be perfect.

"…She didn't tell me, but that explains why she asked me every single detail about what Noah had done to convince me to accept him as my Master. Maybe she thought I would tell Noah about it? Anyway, that doesn't matter right now. Your training starts now, Chisato."

"But without Akeno, I can't sign a Soul Contract, and she won't come back for months. We'll probably be away on another timeline by then."

"Yes. That's why you and I, and another girl as well, will leave for the next one tomorrow. So our return should be close to hers." said Takina, one hand running on Chisato's body. She knew all of her weak spots and used her knowledge ruthlessly.

"Hitomi." breathed Chisato. "She needs me, and giving her an opportunity to do some good early will help her."

"Hitomi, then." nodded Takina.

It wasn't long before Chisato started gasping in pleasure, and Takina gently rubbed the tip of the riding crop against her skin, tracing random patterns.

"But that only means that I can take my sweet time teaching you the pleasure of being a cute bondage pet, Chisato. I'm not going to use any of the shortcuts Akeno uses when she's pressed for time. No special collar for you. Only a normal one. I am going to train you, and train you, and train you some more…" whispered Takina, with an expression more lustful than Chisato ever remembered her making.

Back them before Takina passed away, Chisato had been the one taking the initiative! It felt a bit strange to see Takina being so assertive, so…dominating. But Chisato welcomed the change.

"By the time we meet Akeno again, you will be eager for her to complete your enslavement."

Chisato nodded slowly, half entranced by how sexy Takina looked. It was as if a haze of primal lust clouded her thoughts.

"It's unfair. How can you be so hot, it's against the rules. Damn Noah and his Charisma enhancement."

"Don't complain, Chisato. You'll get it eventually, too." grinned Takina, leaning forward to kiss her captive.

Chisato eagerly returned it, and moaned softly as Takina's tongue, hand and crop worked their magic.
