A/N: Bonus Chapter at 666 Powerstones
~Yuta Yukimura~
It was moments like these that made me appreciate my ability to hold my composure even under surprising situations that I cultivated over my lifetime of surprises like the ceiling caving in on me or being caught up in the middle of a shootout and eating lead right in my leg.
But nothing of that sort prepared me for Venelana coming into the bath with me and deciding to sit so close to me. My upper head and lower head were having a battle of Biblical proportions inside my mind as I laser-focused on the wall in front of me without turning my sight in the slightest.
I would say I was a man with good self-control but I have been repeatedly proven wrong about that this past month. My fists and jaw were clenched so tight that veins were popping up.
I am a man of milfs, even my previous body had like 20 milf porn magazines that I stashed away in h,s house. And by Satan, Venelana was a mother I'd like to f-
Shut up, shut up. Shut the fuck up. Please shut the fuck up.
Think Yuta think! She is the mother of your King, she is the Lady of the Gremory Family, and she is essentially the queen of an entire country! What do you think will happen if you look at her wearing nothing but a towel!?
"No need to be so tense Yuta-kun, I won't eat you if you look me in the eyes you know? Just relax and be comfortable." The problem here ma'am is that I cannot promise that my eyes will stay on your face. Regardless I summoned up my indomitable willpower and glanced towards Venelana who was smiling at me.
The towel barely contained her generous and motherly chest that threatened to burst out I could even see a hint of areola peeking out which Venelana seemed completely unbothered and it clicked to me.
Seems like Rias got her exhibitionistic tendencies from her mother. They were both way too comfortable being naked or almost naked around people they just met.
I tried to unfocus my gaze and stare through her instead of staring at her before I was interrupted by Venelana speaking. She spoke with a light tone as if this were a normal circumstances to be making conversation in.
"Hey, Yuta-kun, I wonder, what do you think about Rias?"
Thankfully the question was a rather simple one. I didn't have to think much to answer it.
"Rias? She is a great person, I can say that much, she saved my life and held all the power over me yet she never once abused it and helped whenever she could even though she didn't need to. So I am trying to pay her back as best as I can right now."
Venelan hummed contently, seemingly liking my answer as she put a hand on her cheek.
"My my, that is high praise, isn't it? But what I wanted to hear more was about how you see Rias, do you think about her romantically at all?"
...Fuck, I jinxed myself talking about easy questions, didn't I? What the hell do you ask when the centuries-old noble devil lady asks you if you see her daughter in a romantic light?
"Maybe...? I am not great at this whole romance thing, I think anyone would be lucky to have Rias as their partner. I obviously like her, she is attractive, fun to be around and generally a wonderful person but I don't think I am a great option for her."
A half-devil half-human commoner trying to date the princess of the Gremory Family who is also their boss was just a can of worms that I did not want to think about opening right now.
"Oh my, I am sorry to hear you have such a low opinion of yourself. Hmm, how about this? What do you think about me Yuta-kun? No need to get nervous, just answer me honestly."
I may not know much about women but I knew what a trap was. And brother I can recognize the barrel of a gun when I am staring down one.
"I think you are a very nice person Venelana-san, you went out of your way to help Rias even though it would benefit you more if he married Riser and you have been very hospitable."
Venelana giggled as I tried to make up a reply that would be satisfactory that strayed as far from what the responses my dammed lower body wanted to give.
"I was hoping for a more detailed response but that is fair. Now, I wonder do you find me attractive Yuta-kun?" Alright, if I stay here any more I am pretty sure the humiliation and mortification will kill me as I have literally no idea what her plan or deal was. I stood up from the water to make my leave.
"Uh... the hot water is making my head dizzy I think I will leave now-"
"O-oh my, that is certainly a bold way to answer."
Venelana looked at me with a shocked and flustered expression as I quickly realized my blunder. While Venelana was wearing a towel I, in fact, was not, and when I stood up I had managed to flash the mother of my boss my fully erect penis without anything to cover the full mast of my ship.
A pregnant pause filled the hot spring as I could have sworn I heard an audible gulp while I was looking for holes I could throw my corpses into. Eventually, I managed to put my mortification off just enough to act.
"...Yeah, as I said I am feeling pretty dizzy so I will head to my room now, it was nice talking to you Venelana-san." I bowed to her and powerwalked out of the room, not hearing any words and dressing up at record speeds before I straight up flew to my room using Ghost Form.
...I will just shut my brain off now. Thankfully I was tired enough to sleep even with the scary implications of flashing the mother of my boss. The existential crisis was for the Yuta of tomorrow to deal with while he was training.

~Yuta Yukimura~
"Alright Yuta-kun, can you explain to me your abilities and what areas you are trying to improve in? I will try to assist you to the best of my abilities." Grayfia sat in of me with a neutral expression, we were outside ready to start our training, or whatever training she would give me.
I planned to give my all to training so that I could keep my mind out of what happened yesterday so I readily nodded, anything that could distract my wandering mind was a great thing.
"Well, first of all, Rias might have explained it to you already but I gain abilities and items randomly as I accomplish things, there doesn't seem to be a set pattern on what I get, but they do seem to scale with how impressive the feat I accomplish is They act kind of like the Bloodline Abilities of the pillar clans in a way."
"As for my relevant abilities, I can control Iron, create hands made of shadows, create and turn into sandstorms as well launch them as projectiles, turn into a ghost, create weapons out of my body, regenerate, set traps, share my sight with others, disguise objects and targets, set traps and create foods with special abilities depending on how well I cook them. But I can only use three of those at a time." Grayfia looked at me without saying anything, her jaw a little agape as she tried to understand the information I dumped into her lap.
"...And you are sure it has been less than a month since you have turned into a devil?" Once I confirmed with her that it has been in fact, less than a month since I abandoned my humanity Grayfia kept her reactions very steeled so I couldn't read it but I tried not to worry about it, at least they did not seem negative.
"I see, you mentioned feats, right? What exactly qualifies for such a thing? Could you please elaborate more on that in detail?" Grayfia pulled out a notepad from somewhere(her dress did not have pockets, for all I knew she used magic) and started writing things with incredible speed to the point where her hands blurred.
And I decided to spill the beans without going deep into interface stuff, I was pretty sure I could trust Grayfia, she was trying to help us here without anything to gain from it, and even if I couldn't trust her, I could trust Rias at the very least.
"There seem to be stages to them, for example, if I were to win against someone who is fairly weaker than me or do something remarkable but not that impressive like pickpocket a lot of people I would probably get a very minor ability like being able to see far. But if I were to beat an opponent stronger than me or do something notable like calm down Tiamat it would give me stronger abilities. As for what counts as a feat, it's anything impressive like beating someone, resolving a tense situation, displaying immense skill, creating something of note and uh... other stuff."
Grayfia quirked an eyebrow and frowned as I instinctively tried not to blurt out that I gained abilities by having sex in front of the scary and incredibly strong maid in front of me.
"Yuta-kun, I will need you to be more descriptive than simply "other stuff" while you do not have to, I would appreciate it if you disclosed your ability properly so that I can help you."
Oh boy, it is just like yesterday. At least now I have grown some resistance to getting embarrassed. Soon enough I will become fully shameless as my next tier in evolution.
"Well then, another way I can gain abilities is by engaging in sexual acts."
Grayfia seemed stunned for a moment, a brief flush taking over her face before she looked at me again as if doing a double take.
"You... do?" Grayfia gave me an inscrutable look before shaking her head. "Alright then, let us start with basic physical conditioning and improving your magical power. Are you ready Yuta-kun? I will not be going easy on you."
Finally, time for actual training, I much prefer physical torture as opposed to being stuck in a room with an attractive milf in an awkward situation.
"Yes, I'm ready, I did not expect you to go easy on me in the first place."
Grayfia nodded.
"Then let us start."

~Grayfia Lucifuge~
"You lost track of your breathing again, remember, proper breathing is more important than you would think during combat and exercise."
Grayfia glanced to the side to see Yuta running by her side and corrected his mistake, he tried to fix his breathing to the best of his abilities once she had pointed it. His expression was neutral as always but she could see the annoyance in it.
"*Huff* It is quite difficult to keep track of my breathing with so much going on at once."
Grayfia nodded, the boy next to her was genuinely impressive, she was already used to people who were freaks of nature with their abilities, and even though Yuta's abilities were most unusual, perhaps even on the level of a Longinus but that wasn't what impressed her.
They were currently running to improve his physical conditioning, concentration and endurance. And Yuta had proposed another way to train which was what they were doing now, as she ran side by side with Yuta, her eyes glanced at the several dozen tons of iron chains she created floating over them and spinning like a halo. It was impressive managing to run for so long while controlling those chains, though the sweat dousing his body showed the struggle he was going through.
She could also see a different type of struggle he was going through as he constantly, and with all of the subtleness of a hammer, kept glancing at her chest as she ran next to him, and she couldn't find it in herself to blame him.
After all, since her maid dress was impractical for exercise she had teleported home to change into her sports outfit regardless of her misgivings about it(she liked dressing as a maid), and her sports outfit was somewhat revealing, consisting only of her grey leggings and sports bra. She considered wearing a more conservative outfit but decided against it.
Definitely, because she thought it would be beneficial to his training to deal with sources of distraction while he did his laps. No other reason.
She looked at his face in more detail, he looked quite handsome, and she couldn't help but enjoy his company as they exercised together, he was a very polite and bright young man. Although his gaze kept drifting she wouldn't say anything about it, she knew full well how strong the libido of a devil teenager, and if anything, she was rather flattered.
After Millicas was born, her husband hadn't had as much time to spend at home anymore, especially when the old satan faction was acting especially aggressively these years. Besides, she actually found it impressive that he was able to keep his concentration on floating and moving tons of iron while stealing peeks at her cleavage.
"I am impressed Yuta-kun, I didn't think you would last this long." The boy flashed her a light smile that looked very charming when framed by his hair glistened with sweat.
"Oh I am barely hanging in there, but I have Regeneration to heal me as I push myself. My stamina is also kind of abnormal compared to the average person but doing this much makes me feel like I am being squeezed out out of everything I have."
She noticed the faint tremble of his legs and the strain in his voice as he spoke. She felt like he deserved to be spoiled at least a little after putting in so much effort without complaining, it must have been her motherly instincts kicking in.
"Alright, Yuta-kun, 3 more laps and we can take a food break."
Hearing her words Yuta sighed and smiled wryly.
"You are unusually cruel Grayfia-san."
Grayfia smiled lightly, even though his words seemed annoyed there was no combative tone in his voice. Grayfia was enjoying training him. Noticing his gaze on her chest once more she thought for a moment before speeding up a little to get ahead of Yuta. Giving him a good view of her behind, which she was almost sure his gaze would be magnetically attached to.
It was important to keep him motivated during training after all, it was nothing serious. She definitely did not enjoy his gaze, she was simply trying to motivate him. Nothing worked better for motivating a young man than his libido after all.
Yes, definitely for the sake of training.
A/N: Yuta is certifiably losing it™, a man can only hold onto his self-restraint and willpower for so long when being locked into a house with 2 hungry milfs and 4 other thirsty devil girls. He only has so many marbles left to lose and Venelana seems intent on taking them away from his hands. Though even she didn't plan on taking it that far.
Grayfia is so far in denial she is scraping the bottom of Marianna's trench. We are training hard though, Yuta's power will certainly improve when he has such a competent trainer by his side. Regardless, it is bound to cause some interesting moments in this mansion. What did you guys think about Venelana and Grayfia's scenes in this chapter and their developments? I would love to know.
