LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 147: Return
[August 31st DxD/April 20th DBT]
With fewer than twenty-four hours remaining until the Tower of Ascension reopened, Vahn was standing on the balcony of his room, staring into the distance. A small town had practically been erected overnight, comprised of clay-tiled buildings resembling those of the Edo Period but constructed with modern materials and conveniences.
"What are you thinking about...?" asked Venelana, approaching Vahn from behind, bringing her hands around to his abs, pressing her pillowy breasts against his back, and kissing his shoulder.
"Nothing in particular..." responded Vahn, a faint smile adorning his lips as he appended, "At least I wasn't. Now, I'm thinking about how exhaustively I'm going to fuck you over the next four months..."
"I'm looking forward to it~" hummed Venelana, pressing her lips to Vahn's shoulder and slinking the tips of her fingers into his boxers. Unfortunately, just as she was about to start stroking Vahn's cock to get him in the mood to fuck her there and then, a silver Magic Circle appeared a short distance behind them, followed by the appearance of Grayfia.
"Tch..."
Hearing Venelana softly click her tongue, Vahn raised his right brow and turned to face her with an amused smile as she extracted her hands from his boxers and backed away from him.
'This little cutie is asking for lots of love...' mused Vahn, tearing his eyes from Venelana to meet the approaching Grayfia's gaze with a broad smile. The latter was still the one who had awakened him to his current sense of self, so while he had spent considerably more time with Venelana, Grayfia still occupied the centermost position in his heart.
Stopping just short of Vahn, Grayfia, wearing her usual short-skirted Maid outfit, raised the front of it to reveal her pantiless state, a seductive smile adorning her lips as she remarked, "Your favorite, personal-use pussy has returned..."
"So it has..." hummed Vahn, taking a knee, drawing Grayfia forward, and planting a protracted kiss on her pussy. The moment her scent filled his nostrils, various receptors were immediately triggered in his mind, giving him an almost painful erection as he spent nearly a full minute lapping up her juices as she slid her fingers through his hair and held him in place as he often did when she sucked him off.
While Vahn was probing her folds and the interior of her pussy with his inhumanly long and dexterous tongue, Grayfia, her cheeks increasingly flushed, turned her head to meet Venelana's gaze with a faintly cheeky smile. She hated having to leave Vahn and the flaxen-haired Devil alone, but each time she returned and he made it clear she was still his number one, it filled her with an overwhelming sense of gratification...
"I trust that all the preparations for Millicas's entry into the Tower have been completed...?" asked Venelena, maintaining a poised and elegant smile but with an audible bite to her words, present only when speaking to Grayfia.
"Of course..." responded Grayfia, her smile becoming more mischievous before she closed her left eye and clenched her jaw, experiencing a light orgasm. Immediately after, Vahn rose to his feet, wiping his lips with his right sleeve as she turned around and bent over with her hands above her knees, allowing him to grab her waist and reunite his glans with her cervix in a single forceful thrust.
"Haaaa..."
Instead of lamenting that Grayfia was receiving Vahn's dick instead of her, Venelana promptly positioned herself behind him and wrapped her arms around his body, caressing his chest and abs as she observed his dick sliding in and out of the silver-haired Devil's greedy pussy. With her discerning eye, she immediately recognized that Vahn wasn't as big as he was with her, so while it was admittedly a bit silly of her, she took pride in knowing her pussy was the best acclimated to accommodate him...

After leaving Grayfia and Venelana in a disheveled state and compelling them to, quite literally, kiss and make up, Vahn made his way down to the bottom floor of the Crimson Palace, the only floor accessible to males and outside guests. There, he found his way to a traditional Japanese banquet hall, where guests sat on cushions that lined the room's perimeter, leaving the center open for the servers to bring dishes to their individual tables.
"Oh, hey, Vahn! How's the whole multiversal-god life treating you?" asked Issei, noticing Vahn's arrival nigh-instantaneously as his table was closest to the room's entrance.
"Honestly? It's pretty awesome..." responded Vahn, the image of Grayfia and Venelana appearing in his mind, their asses touching as they lay back to back, simultaneously petitioning him for his dick.
"Yeah, I bet..." sighed Issei, visibly deflating as, despite having more free time than most, he had failed to complete his Summer homework, making the past week and a half a nightmare as Rias forbade him from playing VR and forced him to study.
"Hey, cheer up..." said Vahn, reaching out with his left hand to give Issei a supporting pat on his shoulder, drawing the youth's gaze as he reminded, "Thanks to my power, you now get to interact with real anime, manga, and video game characters...just don't get too carried away..."
"Oh, that reminds me..." started Issei, instantaneously recovering from his brief slump to question, "What happened to the world of To Love Ru? Will I still get to visit it and play the part of the MC?"
Nodding, Vahn revealed, "I never connected it to the Tower, so no time has passed since you left. If Rias permits it, you can spend the next four months there instead of the Tower."
Hearing Vahn from across the room, Rias exhaled a faintly exasperated sigh from her nose before preempting Issei's puppy-eyed appeal, saying, "I'll allow it, but you'll need to bring back your report card and test scores so I can confirm you're taking your dual life seriously."
"Oh, right...I'm a high school student there as well..." recalled Issei, once again deflating. However, once Vahn reminded him that Lala and the other girls of the verse were now actual, living people rather than the product of artificial intelligence, his enthusiasm returned with a vengeance...

After a short meal and a change of venue, Vahn, seated with Koneko atop his lap, allowing him to pet her head and fluff her ears, stated, "Things are going to be pretty chaotic this time around with so many groups from the outside entering the Tower simultaneously. Make sure you stick together, and if anything happens, don't hesitate to call out for the Administrator. I can't backtrack to redo the tutorial, but I've asked her to watch over each of you in my stead. Don't hesitate to put your foot down if push comes to shove. She'll support you..."
"Do we know the number of people from our side who will be entering the Tower?" asked Rias, seated to Vahn's right with Sona on his left in a circle of sixteen people.
"Each of the three factions and our six affiliate groups was given the right to nominate four people, so there are exactly fifty participants," answered Vahn, lowering his face to nuzzle and sniff the top of Koneko's head as he added, "I don't believe anyone will jeopardize their status as an Ascendee by seeking trouble with you, but it's best to be cautious..."
"Uh...Earth to Vahn...can you not be all lovey-dovey when there are other people present...?" asked Issei, grimacing as he did his best not to feel jealous, but it was simply impossible when Vahn was cuddling a cute girl right in front of him.
"I refuse..." responded Vahn, lowering his hands from Koneko's head to hug her as he met Issei's gaze and appended, "More pertinently, you'll need to enter the Tower and participate in the preliminary battle royale before you return to the world of To Love Ru. I might have created the Tower and have an in with the Administrator, but I can't manipulate the System to allow you to skip the 0th Floor."
"Uh...okay...?" responded Issei, slightly taken aback by Vahn's shameless refusal to stop cuddling Koneko. He knew he didn't have room to criticize others, but he was a self-described pervert. The Vahn in his memory was considerate and well-manned, so while their appearances were virtually identical, sans a difference in their heights, Issei couldn't help feeling that his friend had changed on a fundamental level in what felt like the blink of an eye. What he didn't know was that Vahn was being considerate, or else he and Koneko would be having sex, not simply cuddling...
...

As they would be apart for four months, Vahn spent the remaining time following the group's discussion—leading up to their inaugural entry into the Tower of Ascension, having an orgy with Rias, Sona, Akeno, Tsubaki, Koneko, Asia, and Xenovia. The largest orgy he had before that was five people, but with functionally endless stamina and the ability to transmit pleasure through his domain, he managed to pull it off by letting the girls take charge near the start before fucking each of them individually.
"Alright..." started Vahn, feeling mentally drained but sporting a relaxed smile as he explained, "Once the Tower opens and you confirm your entry, you will find yourselves in a vast expanse of forests, mountains, and other terrains. I can't speak to the strengths of those entering from the outside, but you should be wary of a man named Cid Kagenou. He might appear to be weak or act like an inconspicuous side character, but he is effectively a walking nuclear warhead..."
"Hey, now, don't go spoiling all the fun and mystery..." hummed Rias, her face still lightly flushed from their recently concluded intercourse but her blue eyes blazing with excitement. She was exceedingly competitive by nature, so she was greatly looking forward to being able to go all out and work her way to the top of the Tower's Rankings without relying too much on Vahn's support and Issei's power.
"Yeah, yeah, I know..." responded Vahn, exhaling faintly from his nose and sporting an affectionate smile as he shook his head and checked the time. Only ninety-three seconds remained until the transfer window, so before the seven young women disappeared in flashes of bluish-white light, he quickly hugged and kissed each of them before stepping back and seeing them off with a smile as he, too, vanished...

Finding himself in a spacious, multi-level hub with numerous plots of clearly designated land that could be purchased and built upon, Vahn looked around to take stock of the number of Ascendees who had chosen to return. This wasn't strictly necessary, as he immediately sensed ninety-three people through his domain, but he felt it would be strange if he were the only one not looking around.
"Vahn~!" exclaimed a familiar, girlish voice, followed by Riko, sporting a frilly white dress, bolting over and leaping through the air, mandating that Vahn open his arms to catch her.
"It's good to see you as well, Riko..." expressed Vahn, his smile softening into a relieved expression as he noticed that Riko had put on a fair amount of weight and a moderate amount of practical muscle. He knew from their frequent chats that she and the other orphans were eating very well and that she had become the de facto best Delver among all the children, but seeing the results directly drove home just how much she was flourishing.
"Popular as always..." remarked a markedly more mature, feminine, and husky voice, drawing Vahn's gaze to Yoruichi as she, Nami, Roxanne, Fran, Tanya, Himmel, Ruijerd, and nearly every Ascendee began to congregate around him after seeing others do the same. They naturally presumed he would have the answers to any questions they had, so Vahn quickly found himself the center of attention until Sis appeared in a completely different appearance than before, modeling long, watery-blue hair and shimmering blue eyes as she introduced herself as the Guardian and Proctor of the 1st Floor...
