Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos

Once Loki finally stopped laughing, she looked over at Hestia and Vahn cuddling together before yawning and moving to the edge of the bed. Vahn noticed her actions and kissed Hestia on the forehead before asking, "Are you not going to stay longer?" Since Vahn's bed was very large, Loki had her backside to him as she crawled away. She looked over her shoulder and wiggled her butt before saying, "There are people always watching the movements between the Hestia Familia and the Alliance. If I stay the night, it'll cause even more problems when there is already a lot of things on our plates."Loki jumped out of the bed and began to wear her clothes, starting from her leggings. Vahn watched her actions and frowned a bit because he knew her words were accurate. Before he said anything though, Loki turned around while wearing nothing but black stockings and said, "As I said, I don't want to step on Hephaestus's toes, so I'll probably stop by again after a week or two passes. As long as I get a baby in the oven before the Denatus, everything should progress smoothly." When Loki was speaking, she rubbed her stomach with a seductive look in her slightly opened eyes.Vahn released a sigh before wiping down Hestia's unconscious body and tucking her into the covers after he replaced them with a new set. Loki continued to dress and would occasionally look over to see Vahn meticulously performing the 'after-care' while being attentive to the sleeping Hestia. She felt a little jealous but slid her shorts overtop the panties she had worn earlier. When she finally finished dressing, by wearing her arm warmers, Loki popped her neck and rubbed it a bit before heading towards the door.Because she had been far away for a while, Loki couldn't hear Vahn approach her from behind and didn't notice his presence until he placed his arm gingerly around her hip. She looked to her right and gave him a curious gaze as he said, "I'll at least accompany you part of the way..." Vahn didn't feel like it was right to just let Loki leave with such a strange atmosphere around her. His words caused Loki to laugh as she overlay her hand atop the one Vahn had put around her waist.When they got to the foyer, Loki peeled his fingers away before stopping in front of Vahn and staring directly at him. Because they were the same height, their gazes matched perfectly and Vahn felt a small amount of inspiration as he wrapped his hands around Loki's lower back before holding her close and kissing her lips. It wasn't nearly as passionate as their earlier kisses, but Vahn felt like there was a lot more emotion in their embrace. Just as he was thinking about teasing her a bit, Vahn felt Loki's hands grab his own butt and he snorted through his nose and laughed a bit. Without hesitating further, Vahn slid his hands down and gripped the toned and springy butt of Loki and held her body up against his in an awkward fashion.After a couple of seconds passed, Vahn set Loki back down and she released a hot sigh before pushing away his chest. Before she left into the cold night air, Vahn gave her a warm cloak event though she could resist the chill with her own powers. Loki wore it with a cheeky grin on her face before saying, "The next time, we should do things privately, maybe with a bit of wine and a warm atmosphere~! I'll leave it to you to prepare everything, so make sure you come up with something interesting before then." Just after she opened the door, Loki looked back and squinted at Vahn one last time before heading out into the dark night.When she finally left, Vahn released a sigh and shook his head because he wasn't sure what to think when it came to Loki at all. He felt like he could trust her, but also knew it was her nature to scheme and eventually deceive those that did. Vahn wasn't sure where the line between truth and lie blurred, but he believed that Loki would act in his interests since he was aware of her heart's desire. Even if her compulsion made her take actions to trick others, Vahn knew she couldn't trick her true desire and change the foundation of her own character so easily. With the thought that there wasn't much he could do besides remaining vigilant, Vahn began to absentmindedly plan his next private meeting with Loki...Since Hestia was exhausted from the long session and the intense stimulus, she had entered a deep state of unconsciousness but Vahn was happy to see she had a smile on her face as she clung to the pillow next to her. The moment he laid down, even though she was both tired and asleep, Hestia seemed to have detected his warmth and climbed atop his body while still naked. While marveling once again at how light and soft Hestia's body was, Vahn pulled the covers up to her shoulders and gently cradled her as he too went to sleep.The next morning, Vahn awoke in a slight daze before quickly regaining his senses and looking down into the glimmering blue eyes of Hestia who was supporting her face with her hands and staring at his face with a gentle smile. Before he could tell her good morning, Hestia shifted her body, grabbed the sides of his face, and began to kiss him in a very proactive manner. Vahn held her waist loosely and they continued their embrace for nearly a full minute before Hestia pulled away, still holding his face, and said, "Vahn, I love, love, love you~!" Seeing her excited and happy expression, Vahn smiled and said, "I love you, Hestia, thank you..."As Vahn's words finished, Hestia gripped his head tightly and hugged his face into her breasts as she made a happy squeal while nuzzling against the top of Vahn's head. It took quite a while for Hestia's affections to stabilize and she only stopped when Vahn said, "We should take an early bath before the training begins. I don't mind too much, but it's a little embarrassing when the girls give me strange looks." Though she hadn't been there for the incident, Hestia had heard about it previously and also felt somewhat embarrassed by the fact.After snuggling up for a bit longer, they both made their way to the onsen and shared a small pool together. Hestia yelped a bit when she entered the hot water, but shook her head when Vahn offered to help ease her pain. Though she didn't glare at him like the previous night, Hestia said in a very serious manner, "I want to experience everything...it makes me feel like a normal girl that has dedicated everything to the man she loves." Afterward, Vahn gently tended to and washed her body while acting very lover-dovey with a gentle Hestia. She didn't act nearly as spontaneous or clingy and just enjoyed his care with a peaceful and loving smile on her face.Once the bath was finished, Hestia returned to the room to sleep for a bit longer while Vahn went into the backyard and began training with the girls. Milan and Tina were present, though they would be leaving after the training ended to return to the Hostess of Fertility with Ryuu and Fafnir escorting them along. They usually stayed in the girl's dorm during the week while working in the pub during the afternoons. Though there wasn't a real need for them to do so, Milan and Tina got along well with the girls there and enjoyed the environment so Vahn didn't have any complaints. Most of the girls there, other than Syr, were between Level 3 and 6 while there was a lot of support behind the scenes that kept everyone inside protected.Since Vahn didn't participate in the basic training that Ryuu was having the girls undergo, Vahn was off to the side watching and performing his own routine. Since it was difficult to increase parameters without gaining exillia, the only purpose behind training was to enhance technical skills and master things like magic and abilities. It was also a good opportunity to train martial skills by sparing with other people and increasing your combat awareness while developing and honing your senses. The best example was someone like Mikoto, who also trained alone off the side.She would hold her katana in a very stable stance while focusing her mind and breathing to an intense degree. The moment when it felt like her presence had reached the peak, she would immediately strike out with an incredibly fast flash of her blade while trying to cut through the wooden pillars that had been planted in the ground in her personal area. Vahn could see that her actual technique was incredible, but it took her way too long to increase her focus and she would often waver in her actual strikes. Though she had incredible mental discipline, there seemed to be a feeling of 'hesitation' every time she brandished her blade.Vahn felt somewhat inspired by her discipline and wondered if he should work on improving his own sword abilities. Though he didn't have any techniques like Mikoto, Vahn's [Swordsman] skill was Rank A and he had a very high adaptability when using the sword in combat. Since he usually fought using his instincts and Innate abilities, Vahn had never really needed to learn actual techniques since he had been trained specifically by Tsubaki to adapt to anything. Developing actual styles gave you incredible potential, but it also made you less fluid when actually fighting against enemies that didn't conform to the rigidity of your style. Vahn kind of wanted to convince Mikoto to focus more on actual fighting instead of just practicing a 'theoretical' combat style that left gaps in her movement and made her attacks predictable.Though it wasn't a fair comparison, Vahn couldn't help but recall the sword dance of Tsubaki and how it flowed like an incessant current while Mikoto's attacks were very precise but inflexible. Perhaps it was the difference between a Level 5 peak adventurer with a lot of experience versus a Level 2 adventurer who was still just a very young woman. Even though her body was maturing rapidly, Mikoto will still only fourteen compared to Tsubaki's thirty-six years of age. However, since there were girls like Tiona, Tione, and Ais, who were far stronger than Mikoto, Vahn knew it wasn't necessarily the age of a person that determined their strength...After watching her movements for a bit longer, Vahn pulled out the large katana he had purchased a long time ago when he first went weapon shopping with Lili. Because the weapon was rather weak, Vahn had never really used it in the past and never had any need to rely on it during his actual fights. Since Vahn could detect even the minor movements of Mikoto's muscles when he focused his attention, he could almost emulate her form perfectly after a little practice. He even tried copying her breathing and could feel that his mind became somewhat calmer and he could feel the oxygen-rich blood flowing through his body.Vahn continued to focus his mind while emulating Mikoto's stance and felt the different sensations in his body to try and find any flaws that seemed obvious. The very first thing he noticed was that there was a severe restriction to any sidewards mobility since he was focusing a lot of his weight on toes of his left foot while relying on his back foot as a pivot, likely to deflect any approaching blades. Vahn realized the stance was excellent for fighting against other swordsmen, but it would be very difficult to apply to other forms of combat. Perhaps the biggest weakness, however, was the fact that the stance seemed to be more responsive than actually offensive in form. Though he could see from Mikoto's strikes that there was a powerful force in the slashes, Vahn noticed that it would be next to impossible to chain together the attacks without fixing his stance first. This created a gap in his movements and made it difficult to adapt if his opponent was even slightly faster than he was.Though he hadn't paid it any mind at first, Vahn was aware that Mikoto was focusing her attention on him and had even sheathed her sword with a serious expression on her face. Vahn took several slow and steady breaths and, instead of holding the katana in front of him with two hands, he adopted a loose stance while lowering the katana toward the ground. Instead of tensing and focusing his body, Vahn continued to breath used the method he observed from Mikoto while switching his weight from his toes and even distributing it on both feet. With just a slight shift of his body, Vahn could use either foot as a pivot for the next set of actions and, when he finally felt like he had achieved a proper fluid state, Vahn moved his body toward one of the wooden pillars.Since Vahn lead with his body, instead of the katana, it looked like a motion full of gaps but Vahn knew he would be able to change direction instantly if necessary. Shifting his weight, Vahn leaned in with his shoulder as the katana trailed slightly behind his movements as he let the tip of the blade flow naturally from his right hand, across the front of his body, and angled toward the ground. Using his shoulder to control the rotation, Vahn flared his arms until the motion traveled through his elbow and began to accelerate forward until his tensionless wrist followed the motion as well and he cut through the wooden pillar in front of him with a beautiful arc. Vahn smiled before swiping the katana down as if he were dislodging any blood that might have marred the blade if his opponent had been a living entity.After he put the katana away in his inventory, Vahn nodded politely toward Mikoto and said casually, "Attacks should flow like water or move about freely like the wind. If you focus too much of your attention on practiced movements, you won't be able to adapt to changes in the situation if your opponent is stronger and faster than you are. There are also monsters that have higher durability and powerful strength that wouldn't give you the time to display your techniques..."Mikoto had an especially serious look on her face as she bowed low and said, "Thank you for your guidance!" Vahn saw her overly serious response and shook his head slightly before sighing, "A sword is motionless without the intent of its user to swing it. If you maintain such a rigid personality, it will reflect in your swordsmanship..." Taking a deep breath, Vahn pulled at the katana again and faced toward the sky as if he weren't focusing his attention on anything in particular. Shifting his weight almost imperceptibly, Vahn used Shundo before taking a few complacent steps and disappearing again. Mikoto watched his movements with a shocked expression on her face as the other girls in the training area also looked over. By the time Vahn had repeated his actions eight times, he threw the katana back into his inventory before looking at everyone in the area with a smile on his face. Without saying anything, Vahn sat down on the ground and began to meditate, pleased with his actions because he thought he had acted cool in front of everyone.Though his movements and attacks seemed impressive, Mikoto had an incongruous feeling in her heart as she walked over to the closest wooden pillar that Vahn had attacked earlier. At first glance, it seemed to be untouched but as soon as Mikoto touched it, it fell over with an almost flawlessly cut surface. Compared to her own attacks, which always left a slight wavey pattern in the wood, Vahn's attacks were much more precise even though they seemed almost lackadaisical in their execution. Mikoto had never compared her strength to Vahn before, but she suddenly realized that there was also a monstrous gap in their skill and technique as well. The worst part was, up until he vanished, Mikoto could see all of his movements clearly...this indicated that his initial attacks weren't something that was beyond her parameters to execute...(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Loki Doki Doki','Hestia's Shift In Mentality','Vahn's Chuuni Phase Acting Up')If you'd like to support me as a writer so I can write even more stories in the future, please follow the ******* link below (O,...,O)~! Stay beautiful &lt;3https://www.*******.com/user?u=14397149

Vahn continued to meditate quietly, but he kept part of his attention focused on everyone around him. He had somewhat expected Mikoto to ask him questions, but he could sense that she had moved off to the side and was trying to swing her katana with one hand as if she were flaring her in a whipping motion. Vahn smiled slightly but couldn't help but remark internally about how serious she was acting while trying to comprehend his attacks on her own. Moving his eyes a bit, Vahn watched the other girls training and used [Eyes of Truth] to stare through his own eyelids to observe them more clearly.Though he could see they had a fair amount of potential, most of the girls had never really trained before and all of their movements were clumsy and awkward. Other than Fenrir, Haruhime actually had the fastest comprehension of everyone and Vahn could see the subtle influence of dance in her steps. He suspected that she would actually be able to learn 'fluid movement' faster than Mikoto if she put in the effort. Since Vahn felt like Ryuu and Tsubaki's movements were always very fluid, he knew it was the correct route for people that weren't overly reliant on power. Of course, there were exceptions, since Tiona was also very nimble and light on her feet while having an almost monstrous level of strength.After their training finished up, the girls went off to enjoy a bath while Vahn got a head start on cooking breakfast alongside Milan. He enjoyed the warmth in the atmosphere when it was just the two of them cooking together, even though Preasia sat in a chair off to the side and watched them silently. Tina and the twins, Emiru and Maemi, showed up later and helped prepare the remaining dishes and they all ate together. Hestia was still upstairs sleeping, so Vahn's sides were taken by Ryuu and Haruhime and the overall atmosphere was very pleasant.Though it was still early, Milan and Tina left for the Hostess of Fertility with Ryuu and Fafnir in the shadows. Unless something changed, they'd be staying at the dorm until the weekend came around again and Ryuu would be accompanying them unless Vahn needed her assistance. Of course, this didn't mean they couldn't come to visit as it was only about a twenty-minute walk at a normal pace. Ryuu could cover the distance in around five minutes if she ran at her with the assistance of her magic and they could even use Fafnir in the event of an emergency and cover the distance in less than thirty seconds. Though it didn't get to use it much, Fafnir was capable of reaching around 4100km/h and flew like a bullet through the air once it got up to speed.Since Hestia wasn't around to stop them, both Haruhime and Preasia followed Vahn to the library but kept to themselves as all three of them read books in silence. Haruhime did sit on the same sofa, but she was trying not to distract Vahn since he was supposed to be 'relaxing'. Preasia sat a little bit away from the two and would glance from over the top of her book at Vahn without trying to be obvious. Of course, her movements were very noticeable since they were somewhat unnatural to begin with. Vahn had very high perception and awareness of his surroundings, so her attempts to hide her actions were fruitless.Vahn knew it was too early to easily associate with Preasia, even though he was somewhat curious about how 'fluffy' she was. The same could be said for Haruhime as well since he would be periodically distracted by her long tail. Though she around 150cm tall, her tail was also nearly 80cm long and it looked exceptionally soft and Vahn had often been tempted to want to touch it as she gently tapped it on the sofa while silently reading the book in her hands. Vahn realized that, as Loki had said, he was simply too interested in new things and had an almost insatiable intrigue to experience them. Since that was the case, he understood how dangerous things could get since he didn't imagine that Haruhime or Preasia would resist him at all...Fortunately, Vahn was able to resist his own urges until lunch came when he finally reunited with Hestia who had a very bubbly disposition and a happy smile on her face. Without caring about the surroundings at all, Hestia hugged Vahn's waist tightly before standing on her toes and reaching up to kiss his face. Vahn was momentarily surprised but returned her affectionate action with moderated passion before they all sat at the dining room table. Even though the other girls gave her strange looks, the only person that said anything was Fenrir who also managed to get a kiss from Vahn on the forehead.During the meal itself, Hestia acted in a very loving and caring manner as she awkwardly tried to help Vahn eat while also expecting him to return the gestures. Since he really did love Hestia, Vahn didn't mind tending to her while Haruhime helped Fenrir eat her food with an elegant smile on her face. It didn't really need to be said, since every girl knew something must have happened between Vahn and Hestia for them to be acting as they were. Haruhime herself knew that Hestia was essentially making things clear without expressly saying anything so that the others wouldn't be able to use their ignorance as an excuse. If she, and the other girls, wanted to get closer to Vahn, they wouldn't be able to do it in a roundabout manner.After lunch was finished, Hestia and Vahn shared another kiss before she left him to do his work while accompanying the other girls to teach everyone to read and write. The only person to hesitate was Preasia, who watched Vahn's back for a while until Fenrir pulled her along with the rest of the group. On the way to the annex containing the workshop, Vahn thought about how he could go about making some guy friends and potentially getting out of the house without endangering Haruhime and the other girls. Without Ryuu and Fafnir nearby, Vahn, Fenrir, and Mikoto represented the entire strength of the Hestia Familia. Fortunately, if Haruhime used her level-up magic, Vahn would probably be able to fight on par with a Level 6 while Fenrir and Mikoto should be able to hold their own against lower-ranked Level 3's.However, even if that were the case, Vahn realized that the actual strength of the Familia needed to be drastically improved in the future. Other than increasing his own strength, he would need members around Level 4-5 so that power could be evenly distributed when people were out and about. He already had Ryuu, who was a Level 4 capable of fighting above her Level, but Vahn needed a magical ace or someone that specialized in defense and formations. Unfortunately, there were just too many restrictions on himself and the other members of the Familia as long as the situation with the Ishtar Familia continued. Since she was the representative of the Entertainment District, that meant he had actually made an enemy out of several dozen criminal Familia as well. Though they couldn't do much to him, the people in his Familia were a vulnerability that couldn't be easily addressed without taking them into the dungeon to Level up.Once he was in his workshop, Vahn continued to design different types of equipment while also experimenting with a few ideas that he wanted to try. Though he wouldn't easily credit her with the idea, Vahn had a strange desire to 'dress up' the girls around him in the armor he had created for them. Since his dexterity was very high, things like sewing were very easy for Vahn and he was able to intricately stitch together the fabrics if he wanted to. It would take a lot of practice, but Vahn felt like he could ask Milan and Haruhime to teach him how to make dresses and other kinds of clothing.Since Ais was the most 'doll-like' girl around him, Vahn pictured making an outfit that would suit her that was somewhat different than her original attire. Unlike her future self, she presently wore a fair amount of armor that looked like a multi-plated dress that protected all of her vitals and looked a bit uncomfortable. After giving her [Gram], Vahn felt like the colors white and blue suited her well and he wondered if it was possible to make armor that wouldn't inhibit her mobility that could accent the 'holy' feeling that she gave off when wielding the sword. He decided to go shopping with her and see if there was any armor they could find that suited her. Vahn would then be able to modify the design to match Ais's preferences and enhance her abilities even further...After a few hours had passed, Vahn had purchased a few mannequins that he had shaped to try and match the features of Tiona, Ais, and Ryuu. Since he could actually recall significant events, Vahn was able to clearly picture the naked figures of the three girls and had modeled the mannequins to match their figures with a surprising amount of detail. He had learned how to shape and sculpt alongside Eva, so he was able to make rudimentary shapes that emulated their original forms accurately. Of course, this didn't mean Vahn modeled their facial features and sexual characteristics since he thought it would be embarrassing if anyone walked in and saw them.Even though it wasn't the real person, Vahn felt a strange feeling of happiness as he garbed the bare mannequins with different types of cloth and tried finding something that matched his impression of the girls. For Ais, he used whites, greens, and golds, while Tiona was creamy colors and browns with warmer colors intermixed within. For Ryuu, she seemed to like natural colors that went along with those found in nature, so he chose leafy greens, neutral blues, and natural beiges and browns. It would probably take a few days to finalize anything, but even putting together the basic shapes of the outfits was very 'fun' from Vahn's perspective.They didn't have any visitors in the evening, but Hestia told Vahn that the Loki Familia expedition would likely return tomorrow afternoon. Since he had spent a fair amount of time over the last few hours thinking about them, Vahn was looking forward to Tiona and Ais potentially visiting in the near future. To a lesser extent, he was also looking forward to seeing Tione and Lefiya again as well but mainly wanted to see if he could get some advice from Gareth.Because of the current state of affairs, it wasn't easy for them to interact with the Alliance, but Vahn was also known as a skilled blacksmith even though his [Master Smith] skill hadn't been revealed yet. There was no way the Guild would be able to interfere if members of the Loki Familia came by to 'purchase equipment'. Since there were several members of the Loki Familia using the items he made, there was plenty of evidence showing that this was the case, at least on the surface.After dinner, Hestia once again took a bath with Vahn and they affectionately talked about various matters before making their way back to the bedroom. Since Fenrir still stayed with Preasia, Hestia had Vahn all to herself and was intending to take proper advantage of this fact after realized that Loki had left the talismans in the room. Unfortunately, though she seemed willing, Vahn prevented Hestia from pushing herself and said she needed to take better care of her body for the time being. Since she refused to let him heal her, there were various dangers to indulging in intercourse so soon after losing her virginity. And, though he didn't mention it, Vahn was actually a bit intimidated by Hestia's vagina after the experience of the previous night. He was hoping that, after her body healed and became more accustomed to the act, it wouldn't be nearly as 'painful' when Hestia inevitably orgasmed and clamped down on him.Hestia didn't seem too convinced by Vahn's words, even though she knew he was telling the truth and just showing concern for her body. Knowing that there would probably be various girls around Vahn in the coming weeks, Hestia wasn't willing to lose their personal time together just because of a little discomfort. Since she was a goddess, there wasn't any danger of infection and her body would eventually heal no matter what happened. After sitting on top of Vahn, her clothes wilted away and she looked down at him with glimmering blue eyes and an almost 'scary' expression from Vahn's perspective. He had never seen such a look on Hestia's face and couldn't help but swallow a bot of saliva as he tried to ask if anything was wrong. Before he spoke, however, Hestia asked in a strangely cold, yet sultry, tone "We love each other Vahn...right?"Without hesitation, Vahn nodded his head and firmly stated, "Of course, I love you dearly Hestia, you're one of the most important people in my entire life." The strange smile on Hestia's face grew a bit and she squinted her eyes and said, "Yes...but you know I'm a jealous and possessive girl...even though I've opened my mind to allow other girls. I know where I stand in your heart, and it's not at the top..." Rubbing her hands on Vahn's chest, she pulled open his tunic button-by-button and continued, "When we're alone like this, even if it isn't true, I want to be the most important person in your heart...I want to experience the undeniable proof of our love...I already gave you my most precious thing, so you can give me at least this much right?"Vahn could feel his brain buzz as he listened to Hestia's words and felt the caress of her fingers. Though it wasn't much, he could even feel a heat coming from her crotch as a moisture built up on his belly. Without waiting for him to say anything, Hestia leaned down and stared into Vahn's eyes at a near zero distance with her infinitely deep blue gems. With a voice that sent shivers down his spine, Hestia said, "Don't be selfish Vahn...let me worry about my own body...it isn't fair if you think you can use your gentleness to deny me something that my heart wants. Stop hesitating...or I'll always have some doubts about your affections for me...even if I know that isn't the case, I just can't help think about it when I'm alone...so please, make me unable to forget your presence even if you have to go away for a long time."Though he knew she didn't have charm magic, Vahn felt a strange compulsion when hearing Hestia's words. She often spoke gently to him and it helped calm his mind greatly, but now the voice that usually eased his mind was causing the tensions in his body to rise. Even though he didn't normally react without his intent, for the second time in just as many days, Hestia managed to get Vahn's penis erect without any effort on his own part. When she moved back, Hestia could feel the hard object pressing against her inexplicably soft buttocks and she smiled with an enamored expression and said, "I love you Vahn...forever and ever...now make sure I never forget you love me as well...no matter how much time passes."(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Return to Routine','Vahn wants to play dress-up','Hestia's Fragile Heart')If you'd like to support me as a writer so I can write even more stories in the future, please follow the ******* link below (O,...,O)~!

For several agonizing minutes, Vahn continued to console the crying Hestia who had started to put more strength into her grip. She had moved her hands from his shoulders to Vahn's neck even though she wasn't tall enough to easily hold him from her current position. If not for the fact that Vahn was arching his back slightly, Hestia would most likely have to hug around his chest or shoulders since she was only 140cm tall compared to Vahn's 165cm. She had stopped repeating how painful the situation was and instead began regulating her breathing.Vahn stroked the side of Hestia's face and kissed her gently on the lips, but she didn't respond to his kiss at first and just turned her head sideways a bit as if refusing further kisses. Though he knew she didn't hate him, Vahn couldn't help but feel that Hestia was building a wall around her heart at the moment. Shifting his hand from her face, Vahn reached toward where they were connected and tried to use [Hands of Nirvana] to ease her pain, but Hestia instantly glared at him with 'fierce' eyes and said, "Don't you dare take this from me! Grrrrrr, Vahn, you big fat idiot~!" Hestia released Vahn's neck and covered her eyes with her forearms and began to cry, this time in sadness instead of pain.Hestia's words smashed into Vahn's brain like a ton of bricks dropping from the top of Babel Tower. In the time when his mind completely blanked, all the reasons behind what Hestia's words could mean flashed through his mind and Vahn realized that, even though it was painful, Hestia placed a lot of importance on this moment and didn't want to do anything to 'make things easier'. He remembered her earlier words about not hesitating and yet, once again, he had hesitated after her pained outburst. Vahn realized that he had made a big mistake when treating Hestia like a normal virgin girl since her virginity had been nurtured over millions of years and not one-to-two decades. While other girls placed some significance on it, Hestia had been defined by hers for an almost unfathomable amount of time...Gritting his teeth briefly, Vahn threw aside his inhibitions as he leaned down and placed his forehead into the pillow next to Hestia's head. He whispered in a firm tone, "Hestia, I love you...I'm going to move now. Bear with it..." Without responding orally, Hestia nodded her head but still continued to hide her teary eyes behind her arms. Vahn saw her aura actually stabilized a bit and it gave him a lot more confidence in his current actions. Even though he might not be able to understand everything from her aura, Vahn could see the obvious signs if something was going well.Vahn hadn't been paying attention to it previously, but now that he was preparing to move he realized that Hestia's insides were inviolable with their tightness. Not only did it seem impossible to enter, but now it seemed impossible to exit. If not for his high endurance, Vahn imagined it would have actually been painful to stay inside of Hestia without moving if he were a normal person. Now that he had achieved the 'impossible' and broke through her chastity, Vahn wasn't going to back down so he clenched his teeth again and tried pulling his hips back with a slowly increasing amount of force.It got to the point where Hestia's vulva had distended and clung to his penis for a few centimeters which made Vahn fearful that something catastrophic might happen. Even now, his inserted penis hadn't been loosened up on at all and Vahn was genuinely concerned he would injure Hestia if he kept trying to remove his glans from her insides. Finally, right when he was about to give up, Vahn nearly slid out all at once which caused Hestia to cry out painfully before biting her lip and stifling her own cries. Vahn instantly realized she was trying to spur him onwards by trying to hide her own pain...Though he didn't often curse, Vahn couldn't help but swear in his mind while screaming, 'Dammit' at the top of his imaginary lungs. He might be able to alter his size over the course of a few days, but there was no way to change things at the moment. Vahn also suspected that Hestia might 'blame' him if he tried to make things any easier on her. Mustering up his courage, Vahn grabbed Hestia's wrists and pulled them away from her eyes. He could see her pained expression and tear-stained face as he said, "Hestia, kiss me...don't focus on the pain, just focus on our kiss. Leave everything to me and don't resist no matter how hard it gets..." Without waiting for her response, Vahn overlapped his lips with Hestia and inserted his tongue as deeply into her mouth as he could manage. She began to return his kiss passionately as Vahn lifted her right leg with his left hand while also grasping her left breast with his right hand.Though she tried to gasp, Vahn continued to seal Hestia's lips as he used [Hands of Nirvana] to fondle her breast with a bit of strength in his fingers. She had inexplicably soft breasts that were incredibly malleable and Vahn could almost grab them from any angle without difficulty. He rolled her nipple with his thumb and sent waves of stimulation into her muscles while feeling the rapidly beating heart of Hestia through his palm. Hiking up her right left even further, Vahn re-inserted himself into the inviolable depths of Hestia. She moaned a painful intonation but didn't break away from the kiss and instead wrapped her arms under Vahn's armpits and grasped the hair on the back of his head with a death grip. Though it was painful, Vahn knew it wasn't a fraction of what Hestia was going through so he completely ignored the mild ache from the back of his head.Vahn noticed that the vice-like grip of Hestia's vagina hadn't faded at all, but now he could feel a throbbing sensation coming from where they were connected as a heat slowly began to spread from her insides into his penis. Vahn understood that the throbbing sensation was her vagina slowly trying to ease up as her arousal continuously began to build. The problem was, it wasn't happening fast enough because of the size difference between Hestia's interior and his invading member. Since the interior of the vagina could more than double during arousal, Vahn knew things would get easier for Hestia if he could get her more excited.Noticing the pink aura clinging to his body, Vahn suddenly had an epiphany as he spread his own domain to match the confines of the room. During his testing and forging, Vahn realized that, though he couldn't stop it from expanding out as a sphere, he could prevent it from traveling through objects if he wished. He had experimented with using it to physically push things in the past using this technique, and now he was using it to increase the density of his aura by constraining it to the room. Everything within the room shook slightly as a formless energy began to appear within the air. Even Loki woke up and looked around the room with wide eyes but kept her silence.Vahn pulled away from Hestia and stared into her deep blue eyes and said, "Hestia, use your Divinity...I've sealed this space completely." Hestia thought Vahn was trying to do things in a roundabout manner for a moment but couldn't understand what activating her Divinity would do. After a brief hesitation, she calmed herself from the intense pain and spread her own aura that began to intermingle with Vahn's domain within the room. She suddenly felt a strange feeling in her body as two forms of energy entered inside of her...When Hestia's pink aura had spread through his body, Vahn could feel a powerful arousal rise up inside of him but it was held back by his [Will of the Emperor]. Instead, he absorbed the energy through his pores and used [Yddrasil's Favor] to redirect it and imbue the energy into his [Hands of Nirvana]. Ever since his first experience with Hephaestus accidentally stimulating him in the past, Vahn had been curious about how other's auras could influence each other. Vahn realized that, since the energy spread through his body and was powerful enough to influence him, he should be able to channel the energy as well and imbue it into his own techniques. Though he didn't realize it, Vahn was actually following the same core principle that would have allowed him to learn the [Magia Erebea] from Eva in the orb. He was using a foreign energy, absorbing it into his body, and then converting it into a form he could use by leveraging his own body as a conduit...Instead of her aura sending Vahn into a state of arousal, Hestia was experiencing her own emotions compounding through Vahn's right hand that was massaging her breast. Her heart rate was already beating faster than a stethoscope could detect, but it seemed to increase marginally as a heat spread through her body. She didn't know what was happening, and the pain was still there, but Hestia was slowly beginning to feel an incredible excitement rising in her own body. She put more strength into her grip as a reddish aura that emphasized the use of her divine power spread across her body. The pained looked in her eyes slowly faded as a slightly enamored look took its place.Vahn could feel Hestia's body heating up as her hair slowly began to float around them. The throbbing from inside her vagina still continued, but now Vahn felt a pleasant moisture accompanying the vice-like grip of her insides. Removing his hand from her breast, Vahn stroked Hestia's face and said, "I love you..." Sealing her lips, Vahn redoubled his efforts and actually managed to slide out from the interior of Hestia with marginally less difficulty than before. Though she still moaned in a painful manner, Vahn could hear the undertones of pleasure as her throat hummed slightly.The longer their embrace continued, the easier it was for Vahn to move, even though his actual progress into her insides wasn't that far. He had initially only gotten about 10cm into Hestia, and now he was around 13cm and it didn't seem to be increasing much at all. Though it was a strange sensation, since half his penis was normal while the other half was being squeezed like a vice, Vahn ignored it and continued to kiss Hestia who had begun to return his advances with a moderately passionate response.He wasn't sure how much time had passed, but Vahn suspected it was close to half an hour when Hestia's Divinity slowly began to fade as a somewhat exhausted look appeared on her face. She had a fierce blush and had seemed to be enjoying herself since her painful cries had turned into pleasured gasps. Hestia was in an incredibly aroused state because of the influence of her own aura that had been channeled through Vahn, but he realized that she didn't seem to be nearing climax even though her vice-like insides had loosened up with a slippery moisture allowing for easier movement.Without knowing when she had arrived, Loki spoke out from Vahn's right in a casual tone, "It's not easy for a girl that just lost her virginity to orgasm from just their vagina. Especially since they would become a bit numb with someone of your 'caliber' being their first partner. Even if she doesn't want it, you need to stimulate her clitoris or this'll only become painful after a while."Vahn stared into Hestia's dazed expression and saw her close her eyes in expectation so he reached down, after using his left arm to support his body, and used his index finger to rub the small nub at the top of where he and Hestia were connected. He didn't immediately use [Hands of Nirvana], because he wanted to ensure that the experience was more genuine even though he had relied on a bit of a loophole earlier. Vahn noticed that the more he stimulated the little bundle of nerves, the greater the amount lubricating fluid was emitted from Hestia's vagina. It wasn't a new revelation, but Vahn was surprised by how quickly her body was beginning to respond and he was even able to slip slightly deeper into her interior.Hestia began to let out labored breaths that were intermixed with pleasant sighs as Vahn maintained a steady and rhythmic pace with his hips. Other than when he experienced emotional and mental strain, Vahn could continue almost tirelessly without rest and only changed his movements depending on Hestia's reaction. Just like Loki had done, except this time it was by his efforts, Vahn was looking for a pleasant area within Hestia's insides. Though she still gripped the half of his penis like a vice, Vahn was able to angle himself a bit as if he were exploring the interior for a hidden treasure.Suddenly, as if by a completely random coincidence, Hestia released a loud sound while sucking in a breath of air. Her breath was immediately followed by a strange gasp and Vahn tried recalling his movements as he pulled back his hips and tried finding the exact same angle. While continuing to stimulate her clitoris, Vahn pressed his hips forward at the assumed spot and Hestia immediately opened her eyes and shouted, "That's no good~!" before releasing a strange squeaking gasp. As if to refute her words, Loki spoke out again and said, "There is usually a sensitive spot following the nerves of the clitoris that runs parallel to the urethra...if you can keep hitting that area she'll probably climax very quickly. Don't worry, she might think that she is losing her mind, but she'll be okay in the end..."Hestia's eyes widened and she said in an urgent manner while still clinging to Vahn, "Vahn, don't listen to this little demon! I definitely won't be fine~!" Vahn was surprised by how much energy Hestia suddenly had since she had been somewhat lethargic and tired while releasing gasping moans earlier. Vahn squinted his eyes and said in a soothing voice that sounded evil from Hestia's perspective, "It'll be okay, I'll keep you from flying away and hold you until you come back to your senses..." Vahn knew that the best way to bring an end to this was to make things as pleasant as possible for Hestia and overwrite any of the pain she might have felt earlier.As if she wanted to refute his claim, Hestia opened her mouth but had her lips sealed by Vahn as he pinned her leg firmly to the bed. Her aura flared up as if she were going to explode as Vahn found the correct angle and 'mercilessly' attacked the dangerous spot inside of her. Hestia began to release a continuous squeaking moan and tried moving her hips to counteract Vahn's attack but wasn't nearly strong enough to resist his accurate strikes. Every time Vahn hit that spot with his precise strikes, Hestia felt a wave of vibrations spread up her body and she felt like her insides were crawling with ants and electricity.Vahn felt Hestia's insides begin to writhe powerfully so he increased his own piston was easing the tensions that he had maintained to keep himself from ejaculating for the last few minutes. Hestia managed a high-pitched squeal while they continued to kiss and she began slapping his back in a panic but Vahn continued his precision assault until her vice-like vagina clamped down on him with an immense force that made him immediately ejaculate. The force was so strong that he had actually been stopped mid-stroke by Hestia and moved her body upwards without being able to enter a single millimeter further.Hestia felt such an intense climax that she couldn't form any words as a high-pitched sound emerged from her throat and out of her nose while she squeezed Vahn's body as if she was trying to fuse with him. If not for her breasts acting as a cushion, she had a slight notion deep within the recesses of her mind that she might have succeeded in the attempt. From the side, Loki watched things play out with a fervent expression of interest on her face. She had seen the 'technical prowess' of Vahn and how he was able to effortlessly target the same point even when someone resisted. Loki felt like, even if she didn't take control and just entrusted her body to him...she would probably be able to experience something entirely brand-new.Because of the amount of semen ejaculated from Vahn, he actually began to feel a small amount of pain since he couldn't move his penis at all and the pressure continued to increase inside of Hestia. Though he was intrigued about it whenever he was licking her earlier, Vahn now had a bit of fear for the ridiculously strong pressure coming from her relatively diminutive body. He felt like her vagina was somehow trying to punish his penis for daring to take her virginity. Things got so bad that Vahn couldn't help but furrow his brows which caused Loki to ask, "Eh~? What's with that reaction?" Tilting her head behind Vahn, Loki saw his penis inside of Hestia and she could actually see it 'squeezing' the portion of Vahn's penis still stuck inside. Her eyes widened at the realization that Vahn probably couldn't even move at all.After nearly two minutes of increasing discomfort, Hestia's body began to relax and she fell powerlessly from his neck against the bed. She had a wavering light in her crystalline blue eyes and a slightly opened mouth while her fiercely flushed face was covered in a layer of sweat. The moment she let go of him, Vahn's penis actually almost flopped out of Hestia because of the pressure that was suddenly released. Loki had been staring at their connecting point and nearly took a shot of semen to the face with how forcefully Hestia's vagina closed. She stared at the liquid blankly before falling onto the bed and cackling like a maddened hyena.Vahn was just relieved to have been shown leniency by the 'dangerous' organ so he released a sigh as he stroked Hestia's face lovingly before kissing her in a gentle manner. When he separated from her, at nearly the same time, they both said, "I love you..." It would have been an incredibly touching moment if not for the laughing demon behind them who continued her laughing fit for nearly three whole minutes.(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Loves Bears All Pains','Technical Prowess','PLOP~!')If you'd like to support me as a writer so I can write even more stories in the future, please follow the ******* link below (O,...,O)~!
