Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos

Having sensed the disappearance of Nobunaga, Vahn squinted his eyes slightly, even as he continued towards Rin's room with a steadfast gait. If he wasn't wrong, she was probably going to follow after Fenrir to make sure the latter didn't find herself in a situation she couldn't deal with. Though the odds seemed equally as high that she was just going out to 'play' for the evening, Vahn didn't think Nobunaga was that loose of a woman. In fact, if his intuition wasn't wrong, she seemed to have a preference for other women since she dressed like a man and acted in an overbearing manner. At the very least, she seemed to be a very 'open-minded' person who showed no discernible signs of shame or modesty...Deciding he would follow his own words and deal with Nobunaga later, Vahn quickly found himself standing outside of Rin's door. Unlike how it normally ought to be, as Rin was fond of her privacy, there was a line of light cutting through the dark hallway, the source belonging to the lamps within Rin's room. Since there was no way Rin would have made such a mistake, Vahn concluded that Nobunaga had gone out of her way to crack the door on her way out. This allowed a few 'agonized' moans to carry into the corridor, each sounding like muted whimpers that caused Vahn to feel like an even bigger 'asshole' than before...Knowing Rin would probably refuse to let him in if he knocked, Vahn ran his hand along his forehead before running his fingers through his own hair in a self-calming gesture. Then, reminding himself that Rin was not only his friend, but the first person he had come to care about in this foreign world, Vahn pushed open the door before stepping across its threshold. This didn't go unnoticed by Rin as, even though she had been more than a little distracted, that didn't mean she wasn't paying attention to her surroundings. Seeing who had entered into her room this time around, Rin's already flushed face turned a sickly shade of red as she hid her body under the blankets and said, "Don't come in...go away..."Hearing her words, Vahn's feet came to a sudden stop as he gently stated, "Rin...I'm sorry. The way I've treated you...it wasn't right. You may never forgive me, but I am determined to help you get through this. Please, let me help you..." At the end of his words, Vahn tried to take another step forward but Rin instantly brought him to a stop as she suddenly sat up on her bed and shouted, "Get out of my room! I don't need your help, you stupid jerk! Why don't you send your stupid Servant back up instead...you...you bastard...!" Though the intensity of her outburst had started off strong, Rin's eyes began to tear up in the latter half. Then, as if she didn't want her face to be seen, she hugged her knees tightly before hanging her head to conceal her expression.Vahn felt even worse after seeing Rin like this, cursing his past self for once again bringing harm to someone he had cared about. This wasn't the first time something like this had happened yet, no matter how much Vahn swore he would never allow another repeat of the same kind of incident, Rin was only the latest in a long line of his mistakes. Unfortunately, it didn't seem as if she were willing to talk through things as, shortly after she hid her face, Rin's hair began to change colors at the roots. From atop her head, a black crown that had three curved prongs cut through her hair before her clothes dissolved away, this time forming into Ereshkigal's raiment nigh-instantaneously.When 'Rin', now Ereshkigal, looked back up at him, her eyes were still red with tears as she coldly stated, "Rin doesn't want to see you right now...she says not to worry though, as she will feel better by morning. Make sure to prepare a big meal as an apology..." Each sentence that left Eereshkiga's lips was concise and to the point, showing that she was simply conveying Rin's message and had no intentions to converse with him. Vahn, however, wasn't willing to just leave things as they were so he hardened his expression, asking, "Why are you and Ishtar even participating within the Holy Grail War? What wish could two Goddesses, daughters of one of the most powerful Gods, have?"In response to this, Ereshkigal remained silent and just continued to stare back at him with her maroon-red eyes. It wasn't until nearly a full minute had passed, causing Vahn to nearly 'demand' an answer that she finally answered, "I just wanted to see...the world beyond the reverse side. I hear the cries of the dead, calling out, grasping at a life that has already been extinguished...if possible...I want...to..." This was as far as Ereshkigal got before closing her eyes and beginning her transformation into Ishtar. Before this process could complete, however, Ereshkigal began shaking her head a little violently before opening her eyes and revealing an aqua-blue coloration.Looking back at Vahn, Rin's brows furrowed deeply as she anxiously muttered, "I told you to leave. Your presence is only making things worse! Don't you understand, Ishtar is a Goddess of War, Lust, Sex, and Beauty. I can't resist her influence if you're still around...!" Then, before Vahn could get out a word of his own, Rin added, "Vahn, I'm not angry at you anymore. Just give me a bit of time to cool my head and things will go back to normal. You don't have to do something you're not willing to do just because you pity me. Just...just go away..." Following these words, Rin put her head down again but Vahn could hear her breaths, each containing a muffled sob that she tried to suppress.Knowing he was in a very precarious position, one which may even result in Rin hating him, Vahn found it nearly impossible to say anything. However, remembering the convictions that had taken him a little too long to gather, Vahn knew he couldn't just run away again. Taking another step forward, an action that caused Rin's frown to deepen even further, Vahn did his best to remain calm as he stated, "Rin...I won't lie to you. I'm...terrified..."Hearing Vahn's words, Rin's eyes began to well up with even more tears but, before she could misunderstand any further, Vahn's expression became serious as he added, "Not of being with you. I'm terrified of all of this...! This, this world, being separated from my home, not knowing when I'll ever reunite with my family! I'm horrified at the prospect that, by the time I'm finally able to return, I won't even be the same person they loved anymore! It feels like, at any given moment, everything I'm trying to accomplish is just going to break, shattering into tiny pieces that I can never put back together...!"Vahn's outburst hadn't stopped Rin's tears but they had managed to stymy the flow a bit as she sheepishly muttered, "You don't-." Without waiting for her to finish her sentence, Vahn shook his head fervently before saying, "You're wrong, Rin. Because, no matter how scared I am of losing everything, the thing I'm scared about the most right now is watching you break down because of a mistake I made. Even if you come to hate and resent me, I could never live with myself if I just pretended nothing was wrong...!" At this point, even Vahn's eyes had started to tear up so, even though Rin wanted to tell him to leave, she found the words stuck in her throat...For several long seconds, silence dominated the room as the tensions within began to increase to the point any sudden 'shock' could cause everything to shatter apart. Fortunately, just as Vahn's own anxiety was about to reach a critical point, Rin muttered under her breath in a voice that she likely didn't intend for him to hear. She sounded exceptionally tired, even though her voice was tinged with the peculiar 'hotness' that only a woman in a deep state of arousal could manage. As to the purpose behind her soliloquy, Vahn knew exactly who she was talking about when Rin muttered, "Why am I always drawn to the idiotic hero types...haaaaaaa..."After her self-admonishment, Rin squeezed her legs a little tighter as she looked back up at Vahn and barely squeaked out, "You can stay..." With these words still lingering in the air, Vahn wasted no time in taking several steps forward, only stopping when he was at the side of Rin's bed. She had been following his approach with her eyes, apprehension and expectation visible within as her complexion became progressively ruddy. At this point, her neck and shoulders also had the subtle hint of blush present, the result of Rin's fair complexion betraying her...Seeing that she made no attempt to stop his advance, Vahn reached out with his hand, cupping Rin's cheek with his palm as he said, "I do not love you...but, I will make you feel loved to the point that you will be patient with me as I learn to love you for real. I'm sorry for being such an asshole, but I need time..."Rin gave an unexpected laugh in response to his words, sounding almost like an involuntary spit take before she rested her cheek again his hand and complained, "There is such a thing as being too honest, Vahn...you doofus..." Then, after extending her hand forward and placing it atop his chest, she showed a genuine smile before adding, "Your heart is racing almost as fast as mine...at least you aren't completely hopeless..." Though he didn't know what she meant by her words, Vahn took them as permission as he leaned forward and gave Rin an exploratory kiss to gauge her reaction...Without missing a beat, Rin deftly linked both of her arms around his neck before continuing the kiss of her own volition. In truth, she knew that Vahn didn't love her as, over the time they had spent together, it was easy to see that his mind was constantly focused on memories of his home. Though he had gotten better after Fenrir's arrival, it was more like he used her as a means to project his tensions without facing them directly. Since she also knew that he had a 'plethora' of women, including goddesses, it would be impossible for them to have a committed relationship. His existence was simply too big for her to even begin harboring the intention of keeping him to herself. However, even if it was for a short while, Rin wanted to be a part of his existence...knowing full well it would never bring back what she had lost.After a long and passionate kiss, ending with Vahn leaning over a completely naked Rin, the latter was left breathing heavily as she bashfully moved her hands to cover her breasts. Since they weren't all that small, Vahn found this reaction of her's both adorable and confusing at the same time. However, as it seemed to be a common concern for many of the women he had met, Vahn traced his right palm along the left side of Rin's body before bending down and peppering the tender region beneath her clavicle. Then, slowly but surely, Vahn worked his way down until Rin naturally moved aside her hand and allowed him access to the small rose-bud she had previously concealed. Though he didn't bite down on it, Vahn lightly nibbled the sensitive spot, eliciting a twitching groan from Rin as she tightly clenched his hair...Since she was already 'more' than ready, either as the result of Nobunaga's or Ishtar's efforts, Vahn didn't want to leave Rin hanging for much longer. As he continued to push her towards even greater heights, causing the confused Magus to enter a state of panic and confusion, Vahn quickly removed his clothes using the 'equip' function of his Inventory. This was something that went completely unnoticed by Rin as her toes curled up, even as her legs pushed against the covers as if she were trying to kick them away. By the time she was coming down and feeling a state of moderate bliss, Vahn was already prying open her rather plump thighs and taking in the sight of her messy garden. It might have been pure coincidence, but it was easy to see that Rin either shaved recently or made a habit of properly grooming the thin mat of hair that grew in a neat clump above her palpitating entrance...Coming back to her senses, Rin wiped away the sweat from her brow before turning her eyes downward in what could only be described as a 'haphazzard' manner. This was due to the fact that, regardless of the image she had formed in her mind, nothing could have prepared her for the 'reality' of her current situation. Though Vahn had reduced his previously 'monstrous' size to a modest 25cm, it was still a terrifying sight for the rather petite Rin to behold. This was due to the fact that, not only was it larger than she had expected, but the overall thickness gave her the impression it would tear her apart if he tried to wedge in into her...Since Rin wasn't a virgin, and her entrance was pulsing hungrily, Vahn didn't waste much time with additional foreplay, placing the tip of his glans against her steamy cavern without much thought. This sent Rin into panic mode, however, as she somehow managed to put strength into her exhausted body, quickly shrinking away as she exclaimed, "What do you think you're doing!? Use a condom...!" in a shrill squeak. This reaction of her's caught Vahn by surprise as, though he knew what a condom was, he had never actually worn one before. He had the ability to 'choose' when he wanted to impregnate someone so it had never been something the girls around him required before...Seeing Van's expression, Rin misconstrued it as 'disappointment', causing her heart to throb painfully within her chest since Vahn, as she often described him, was stupidly handsome. His expression made her heart feeling like it was going to break so, before Vahn even had to explain the 'unique' qualities of his semen, Rin swallowed hard before saying, "Fine...but if I get pregnant, you can't make any more excuses. Even if you run around the world causing trouble, you have to promise you will take care of me and...and our child..."Though there was no way he would impregnate Rin, at least at this point in time, Vahn gave an 'understanding' nod before saying, "One of the most important things to me is being a good father. There isn't a force in existence that could stand in the way of me taking care of my kids..." As these words left his mouth, Vahn felt a small twinge of pain in his chest as, even though he meant every word, the truth of the matter was that he couldn't see his other children right now. Though they wouldn't even register that he had been gone, it was an undeniable truth that his own weakness prevented him from being the father he wanted to be...As she had heard both the sincerity in Vahn's words, followed by the 'pain' in his gaze, Rin knew that he must be thinking about the family he left behind in his previous world. She chose not to point out the inherent flaw in his claim, however, and instead inched a bit closer to him before taking a deep breath and leaning back. This immediately brought Vahn's focus back to her, something that caused Rin to smile as it was strangely fulfilling to have him actually pay attention to her for once. At least for this one moment, she was important enough to dominate his attention, allowing her to become the central focus of his overbearingly large existence...Without any further delays, Vahn's glans once again found their way to Rin's steamy entrance, now producing an even greater volume of love juices than before she had pulled away. It was easy to see that the excitement, or perhaps worry, associated with getting pregnant was making Rin's body react even more. Thus, without any major difficulties, Vahn sank his hips forward as Rin released sharply inhaled a breath that didn't seem quite enough as her body became rigid due to the unexpectedly hot member invading her depths. It quickly passed her most sensitive spots before, in a manner that Rin could only describe as ruthless, hammering into the deepest parts of her forbidden cave...With her legs trembling and an overwhelming wave of pleasure spreading through her body, Rin crossed her arms over her eyes and focused on her breathing as Vahn patiently waited for her to relax. At the same time, however, he used his hands to trace the side's of Rin's abdomen, sending gentle waves of Source Energy into her body. Not only was he increasing her sensitivity but, as it would be a waste to pass up the opportunity, Vahn used the short intermission to help refine Rin's magic circuits further. As these were closely related to the various nerve clusters within the body, Rin only felt an increase in her body's tensions as a comfortable, yet all-encompassing pleasure filled her up as if she were previously an empty container...Though he had been paying close attention to the state of her body, Vahn noticed that Rin was giving into her blissful state a little 'too much'. This immediately caused an alarm bell to go off in the back of his mind but, before he could take any action to prevent it, Rin's hair immediately transitioned from black to blond. The trembling in her body almost immediately ceased, though this proved to be a momentary reprieve as a much more powerful and violent shaking replaced it. When she moved her arms away from her eyes, Vahn resisted the urge to produce a wry smile s a pair of maroon eyes stared back at him. He had no idea how the senses between Rin, Ishtar, and Ereshkigal were shared but it was obvious by the latter's expression she had been taken by surprise...As a dreadful aura began to spread through the room, Ereshkigal surprised Vahn as, instead of throwing curses at him, she actually wrapped her legs around his waist before staring blankly into space and muttering, "How dare you do this to me, Sister...very well, if this is how it is to be, I will not falter. Come, my kin, now we shall be together until our deaths..." As these words left her lips, Ereshkigal's eyes regained a bit of their clarity as she gazed down at where they were connected before sheepishly adding, "Please be gentle..."(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Baka, baka, baaaaakaaaa...!','The fucks a condom...!? -Some Unimportant Prince','This is clearly entrapment of the highest degree...')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/mn5xMbE

After the emotional moment he had shared with Rin, combined with all the build-up to them actually having sex, Vahn couldn't prevent his expression from turning dour as he asked, "What game are you and Ishtar playing at? My patience is not without limit, Ereshkigal..." As he had previously been caressing Rin's sides, Vahn began to send a tidal wave of Source Energy into her body, preparing to once again seal away the two troublesome Goddesses. Before he completed the process, however, Ereshkigal shook her head and cautioned, "You should not make an enemy out of Ishtar...she is a petty a vile woman who will only bring you greater suffering if you try and resist. The more you try to seal her away, the more malicious her treatment of our host will become..."Vahn's eyes sharpened like daggers upon hearing this, causing him to have to take deep breaths to avoid putting strength into his hands. Though Rin's body was much stronger during the state of her possession, Vahn had no intentions of harming her. Instead, he looked into Ereshkigal's eyes and asked, "And? What role do you play in all of this...?" To this, Ereshkigal averted her eyes to the side before answering, "Ishtar says she will never allow you and our vessel to be together...Since you denied her, she will not allow the girl named Rin to have you either. As we are two parts of the same whole, I was forced to come forward to prevent our vessel from wasting her Command Spells..."Hearing Ereshkigal's words, Vahn felt as if a gong within his mind had been struck by a heavy mallet. Though it was ultimately Rin's body, there was a very different meaning in making love to her when someone else was in the driver's seat. If anything, he was quickly developing a strong dislike for the two Goddesses as, even though Ereshkigal seemed more agreeable, the fact she listened to Ishtar's whims put her in the 'enemy' camp. This caused his mind to race with possible solutions as Ereshkigal put a bit of strength into her legs and said, "You should move...Ishtar wants to make our vessel watch...she says all men are slaves to carnal pleasure, even Gods..."These words were the last straw from Vahn's perspective, causing his eyes to emanate a subtle divine glow as he cautioned, "This is now the Era of Men...Ishtar, if you do not stop playing these games, you cannot even begin to fathom the consequences..." Vahn wouldn't appreciate a Goddess threatening him personally but, now that she was essentially holding Rin hostage and trying to proactively torment her, Ishtar had officially gone way too far. He didn't know if it was a quirk related to the Akashic Record, the real one, not the farce that presided over this world, but it was starting to seem like Goddesses named Ishtar were never pleasant to deal with...In response to his threat, Ereshkigal's face formed a frown before she slowly closed her eyes. Though other's might have been caught off guard, due to their inability to sense the changes in Rin's body, Vahn was more than prepared as he summoned [Enkidu] faster than Ishtar could take over. Any power that she had been trying to muster was immediately suppressed but, as if that hadn't been her primary objective, Ishtar wiggled her hips before saying, "It was only a matter of time until we shared a bed together. Come now, if you really care about the girl you should service this Goddess well..." As she finished her sentence, Ishtar began breathing in a strange rhythm before 'clamping' down around Vahn's member like a vice...Without deigning to humor her with a response, Vahn pulled out an item he would have much rather kept for a more 'important' situation. Ishtar's eyes widened slightly in response but, before she was able to say anything else to grate on his nerves, Vahn placed what looked like a teal sheet of paper on her abdomen. Then, wasting no time, Vahn placed his hand atop the paper, saying, "Rewrite..." in a somber tone. In the next moment, the world around him 'collapsed' inward before he found himself surrounded by darkness...As this wasn't his first time within a seemingly infinite expanse of darkness, Vahn remained calm and focused as what appeared to be a green pillar of light began to slowly descend from a point within the void. In the next moment, however, far faster than even Vahn could perceive, the pillar had already extended past him before continuing downward a distance further than the eye could see. Knowing it was futile to even try, as only his [Will of the Emperor] seemed active, Vahn made no effort to try and comprehend what was happening as a wispy 'tether' extended from his navel and linked itself with the green pillar of light...From the very moment his tether linked with the pillar, Vahn felt as if his awareness had expanded outward, almost as if his domain had grown several thousand times larger in an instant. Vahn was overwhelmed by a feeling of omnipotence but, before he could 'grasp' the sensation directly, it had already faded away, leaving only an echo of a memory in its wake. The only other thing remaining was a feeling of loss that almost rivaled that lonely night after he first descended into the Record of the Nasuverse. Fortunately, this emotion also faded away rather quickly as, before he had even realized it, Vahn found himself surrounded by various windows that were similar in structure to his own system interface.Instinctually understanding that he should not peer into the other windows, Vahn focused on the one directly in front of him, his eyes tracing over the name [Ishtar] at the very top. He was a little surprised that it didn't list her full name but, considering he had also 'combined' Records when naming some of his subordinates, it made sense that he could only change a single one. The thing that most confused him was the fact that, other than the name [Ishtar], everything else on the system window was blank. There didn't seem to be any 'hints' as to what he was supposed to do and, as this was a unique space where even the vast majority of his Innates didn't work, Vahn was unable to seek Sis for advice...With nothing else to go on, her tried to vocalize what he wanted to change about Ishtar's Record but, failing to utter even a single syllable, Vahn noticed his body had completely vanished. This realization caused him to feel dizzy but, just as a feeling of dread began to wash over him, Vahn saw a word appear on the screen before him. Now, under Ishtar's name, a small rune had formed which, from Vahn's perspective, formed the word 'dizzy' in tiny letters. As this wasn't what he had in mind when it came to changing Ishtar's Record, Vahn tried to focus his mind and, much to his glee, the word vanished just as quickly as it had appeared.Understanding that it was his intent that allowed him to interface with Ishtar's Record, Vahn began to steadily calm his mind before adding the lines, 'A kind and benevolent goddess who cares deeply for all sentient life, especially human's that share a fragment of her Record. Though a Goddess presiding over beauty, good harvests, war, lust, discord, and fertility, she never allows her Divinities to influence her treatment of others. Even when engaged in acts of carnal pleasure, she always takes into consideration the needs of her par...'When Vahn was 'writing' the last line, his head suddenly felt as if a red hot ax had just cleaved it in two, causing him to immediately fade into darkness once again. In the next moment, he once again found himself within the Nasuverse as the green sheet of paper simply vanished into nothingness. In order to obtain a second [Page of the Akashic Tome], he would have to fork over a monstrous one-hundred-billion Origin Points, the same price as a [Dimensional Anchor]. In a way, though it was shameless to admit, this caused Vahn's feelings towards Rin to blossom a great deal as he would have never used it under any normal circumstances...Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Vahn reminded himself to check Rin's Good Luck parameter and [Child of Desinty] Innates later on. He was genuinely surprised at himself for unhesitantly throwing away an actual [Page of the Akashic Tome] just because a Goddess had annoyed him. Curiously, that very same Goddess was now blankly staring up at the ceiling while, now that he was paying closer attention, Vahn noticed that Time around him had yet to resume its flow. He didn't know what this meant as, even with his own ability to emulate the phenomenon, albeit to a much lesser extent, this was something far beyond his means to do anything about...Fortunately, Vahn didn't have to worry about the issue for too long as, at least from his perspective, it only took a few minutes before color was restored to the world. This was followed by Ishtar blinking a few times before she looked around at the chains binding her and said, "Vahn, you know I don't like being bound up like this. If you want to try experimenting, can we maybe try something less intense first? I'm worried I might develop strange tendencies if we immediately move to such hardcore plays..." Accompanying Ishtar's words, she released her leglock in a perfectly natural manner while simultaneously averting her eyes and adopting an expression that could only be interpreted as a plea.Though he had expected results, Vahn's mind blanked for a moment since it now seemed like Ishtar was a completely different person. Since he had been building up a fair amount of resentment towards her previously, Vahn suddenly felt incredibly deflated as he cautiously removed [Enkidu]. Ishtar released a sigh of relief before rubbing her arms, a gentle smile on her face as she said, "Thank you." in a soft voice. This had an even greater impact on Vahn's mind as, with only a single piece of paper, it felt like he had just overwritten reality, not just Ishtar's Record. Though he knew Time and Space weren't actually 'real', meaning events only took place when someone was directly observing them, suddenly finding himself in a reality where Ishtar was no longer trying to threaten him felt uncanny...With an expression of concern on her face, Ishtar stroked Vahn's cheek in a comforting manner before saying, "I suppose it was cruel of me to interrupt things between you and Rin. Please forgive me, Vahn, as I did not mean to hurt you so..." After these words left her lips, Ishtar's smile grew marginally before the purple hue faded from her hair nigh-instantaneously. At the same time, her wine-red eyes turned into Rin's aqua-blues, shaking Vahn to his very core as she asked, "What's wrong? If you're having misgivings about sleeping with me...I..."Before Rin could finish her statement, Vahn masked his shock with a gentle smile as he reached forward and stroked her cheek. Rin released a small sigh in response before matching his smile with one of her own. All of the fear and apprehension that had been present within her eyes previously was now nowhere to be seen, causing Vahn to wonder if even the memories of their earlier conversation had vanished. Since he had modified Ishtar's Record, it was possible that the Nasuverse itself interpreted this as meaning Ishtar had 'always' been as she currently was. This meant that, by modifying the Record of a single person, he had irreversibly changed the history of all timelines...---A little more than an hour later, Vahn was pretending to sleep as Rin, with a light flush still coloring her cheeks, had dozed off happily with his chest serving as her pillow. As he had promised, not that he was sure such memories still existed within her mind, Vahn made sure that Rin was more than satisfied. Though she lacked the stamina he had come to expect from girls in the Record of Danmachi, Rin was a very 'earnest' girl who lasted around forty minutes before muscles spasms in her legs and abdomen caused her to ask for a reprieve. During that time, Vahn had shocked her quite a bit when he came inside her but, as if 'giving up', she didn't offer any complaints during any of the successive climaxes...With Rin having drifted off into the land of dreams, Vahn focused his mind in order to establish a connection between himself and Nobunaga. The very instant they were linked together, he asked, ("Nobunaga, can you tell me what happened with Rin before I came to her room? I feel that an enemy may have used some kind of technique to re-write causality and want to compare my memories to another person's...") Though this wasn't even remotely true, Vahn couldn't think up a better excuse to get Nobunaga to answer his question without using a Command Spell, at least at the moment.Imagining a shocked expression on Nobunaga's face, Vahn waited for her to finally answer, ("That sounds like a troublesome ability...very well, I'll explain once so listen closely. After that girl became the vessel for two Goddesses, her internal mana was going haywire. Because of your indecisiveness, I had to be the man between us and try to help her out on behalf of your impotent ass. Then your little pup finally knocked some sense into you, causing your balls to spontaneously drop and allowing you to at least act like a man. Does that match up with your recollection of events, brat~?")Though his left eye was twitching violently as he listened to Nobunaga's harsh words, Vahn also felt a great deal of relief since it didn't seem as if things had changed 'too' drastically. Since Rin still had the circular scar on her abdomen, this implied that many of the same events had transpired, just with a slight variation. He would need to stay on his toes in the days, or even weeks, to come, but that was a small price to pay now that Rin didn't have to worry about Ishtar. Things were still a bit hazy in regards to Ereshkigal but, based on how she had acted previously, Vahn didn't think she would pose much of a problem...With the connection between them still live, Nobunaga didn't seem to be finished speaking as she mused, ("Did you really last over an hour? That isn't bad for a brat...well, I imagine you spent the first half an hour crying before blowing your full load in a single shot, right?" Following this, Vahn could 'feel' Nobunaga laughing, causing a light to flicker across his eyes as he reminded, ("I still owe you a debt, don't I...look forward to it...") With that said, Vahn severed the connection before exhaling a tired sigh and sinking his head into Rin's pillows. Things had become a lot more confusing after he used the [Page of the Akashic Tome] but, at the same time, Vahn felt as if a weight had been removed from his shoulders. Knowing such a 'simple' action on his part had altered the history and fate of the entire Record gave him a strange boost in confidence, making the world feel as though it held fewer uncertainties...Just as Vahn decided to get some sleep, using such thoughts as a means to relax his mind, he felt a subtle shift in Rin's mana before she began to move about on his chest. Opening his left eye, he saw that her hair had become blond and, even though the majority of her raiment was missing, several gold accessories and a black crown now adorned her body. Seeing this, Vahn became a little more alert than before, at least until Ereshkigal turned her maroon eyes towards him and asked in a somewhat shy and reserved tone, "Is it...my turn...?" At a glance, it didn't seem as if her personality had changed all that much so Vahn immediately felt a great deal of relief as he considered how best to answer her question...Though she had misinterpreted his silence to mean something else, Ereshkigal's next words gave Vahn the answer he was searching for as she said, "Don't worry...even if Ishtar and I control the vessel's body while she rests...it will not cause her to feel fatigued later. We only use a little bit of her mana to sustain ourselves...the rest comes from the Grail...and our Divine Power..." Then, without waiting for Vahn's answer, Ereshkigal gingerly touched his slumbering dragon, showing a fair amount of curiosity in her eyes as she muttered, "This is the penis of my lover...is it sleeping?"Vahn felt like he had taken a critical hit from Ereshkigal's words but, before he was able to answer with a few of his own, an unexpected phenomenon occurred. For a brief moment, Ereshkigal's eyes lost their light before half of her hair, combined with her left eye, spontaneously changed color. She now had blond hair on the right side of her head while the left was colored a sleek black that had a touch of purple. Her eye also became a wine-red in color, alerting Vahn to what had happened without needing to ask. This notion ultimately proved even more unnecessary, however, as both eyes fixed themselves upon him as Ishtar explained, "Sorry, Vahn...my sister had two consorts but has very little experience when it comes to associating with the opposite sex. If you don't mind, I'll guide her through the steps so she doesn't end up harming herself..."Though Ishtar seemed to be in control, Vahn knew that Ereshkigal was essentially riding in the passenger's seat as they shared Rin's body, quite literally. Then, as Rin had already given him 'permission' earlier, Vahn decided it wouldn't be a terrible idea to increase his rapport with the two Goddesses. In a way, they reminded him of Emiru and Maemi, especially with their fused state, so Vahn was feeling a little reminiscent as he ran his fingers through the blond section of their hair and answered, "Don't worry, I'll be gentle.."(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Ishtar is playing with fire','What is this mind-fuckery!?','The moment Vahn removes his 'leash', he instantly sleeps with 'three' women at the same time xD...')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/mn5xMbE
