CxC Chapter 6: R U Magic? (Patreon)

~Yuta Yukimura~

Waking up from my sleep I stretched, damn I slept like shit. Well, sleeping was an exaggeration, more like took a nap since I slept at 6 am.

It was quite hard to sleep with all of those revelations swimming around in my head and because I was too excited to play around with my new abilities. Can you blame me though? I got superpowers, damn right I am going to be putting them to use. Which I did the entire night.

Crawling out of my bed I looked at the sun with scornful eyes, I wasn't a vampire, why the hell did the sun weaken me? So annoying.

Shaking my head I resumed my normal morning routine, taking a quick shower to have basic hygiene before deciding to make my own breakfast with Pearl Jam for a little pick me up.

I made some omelettes with Pearl Jam with the effect of recovering my stamina and easing my fatigue, I freaking loved Pearl Jam, not only is the food tasty but the buffs they provide are excellent for quality of life. The problem of it scaling with the food I cook is annoying though. And the the buffs had to be vaguely in line with the food I made, so no regeneration chocolate.

Maybe I ask Rias or Akeno for some help about that? I am pretty sure Akeno can cook, and she did say I could ask her for help with anything.

Yeah, I'll ask about that after school, along with how to make contracts by myself so I can gain more rolls, I can't just keep mooching off of Koneko's contracts, though I have a feeling she would appreciate that.

After I was done eating I put on my uniform and left my house but bumped into someone unexpected waiting for me in front of my door.

"Rias-san? What are you doing here?" Rias was standing in front of my door like it was the most natural thing to do.

"Hmm? What are you talking about, I am here to pick you up of course. I came just in time too." I sported a difficult expression.

"I understand that but my question was more about why? Why would you want to walk with me of all people to school?" Rias shook her head and reached her hand out to pat my head but I ducked under it, making her pout, what was I? An animal?

"Do I need a reason to want to occupy my new cute servant to school?" Rias said a bit haughtily but I appreciated the compliment, I'd prefer handsome but my self-esteem is low enough that any compliment counts.

"Well, you're the boss so I guess not. Not that I was going to complain about a beautiful girl walking with me to school." Rias blushed at that comment, I briefly wondered if I went too far but she simply smiled and took my arm.

"I see, if that's so then you also won't mind this then?" I most certainly did not, if I was bothered by the prettiest girl I had ever seen taking my arm and smooshing it up against her breasts I could just throw away my man card.

♢—•♧•—♤—•♡•—♤—•♧•—♢

Rias was great for conversation, the school was not too far away from my home so the journey was over in about 12 minutes. And I realized that Rias greatly enjoyed teasing me and did not care much for physical boundaries.

She liked touching, whether it was on the arm or hugging. She tried to pat my head again but I deftly dodged it again which seemed to embolden Rias' attempts to get closer to me.

Am I complaining about my busty devil boss liking to touch me? Hell no. Do I want to get patted in the head on the head like I was a pet or Koneko? Hell no.

After we arrived at school I went about my classes as always, I got the occasional weird or appraising gaze from my fellow classmates for seemingly being close to Rias but no one came up to me, both because of my loner status and because my dead eyes coupled with my eyebags made me look like I was permanently two steps away from reaching into my bag.

The chime had rang, declaring the start of the lunch period. Naturally, I wasn't going to do anything at this time but sleep, school was sleep time for me while night was showtime.

Well, that was before-

"Akeno-oneesama? What are you doing here?" "Akeno-san is here? Score!" "Why would Himejima-san come all the way here?"

Oh man, I wonder who just entered our classroom.

I ignored the commotion and got my forehead off of the table and turned to Akeno who walked toward me with an expression that betrayed a modicum of mischievousness of her intentions.

"Hey Yuta-kun, you seem to be free. Would you like to have lunch together with me in the club building?" I appraised Akeno with my eyes for a second while the entire classroom erupted into chatter, I would have cared if I paid attention to gossip, if I couldn't remember their name then I didn't care about their opinion of me.

"...Sure. Lead the way Akeno-senpai." I didn't know why she wanted to have lunch with me but I didn't think she would hold some malintent toward me at least.

"That's great, let's go then, I accidentally prepared more than usual." I got up and quickly followed Akeno, as we were going I noticed that she was intentionally swaying her hips, or at least I thought so. I occasionally caught glimpses of her sheer lace black panties covering her large and magnetizing ass.

Safe to say I had to adjust my pants and tuck my belt.

She and Rias seemed to really like teasing me, I had to wonder if this was because of Helltaker, them wanting to honeypot me to stay in the peerage, or both. Or option 3 of them just being bored but I will ignore that option for the sake of my fragile self-esteem.

"We are here. Here, Yuta-kun, you don't have your own luck, right? We can share mine." I readily accepted her handout and instead of sitting opposite of me, Akeno chose to sit right next to me, only leaving 4 fingers of space between us.

"Why did you want to eat with me Akeno-san? Your cooking is great by the way." I said, taking a bite of the offered box lunch containing a traditional layered Japanese, her cooking tasted even better than mine. As expected, traditional well-cooked food tasted better than artificially enhanced food.

"Ara~ ara~" Her voice sent shivers down my spine "I simply wanted to get to know my junior better. I noticed you didn't have your own lunch and decided to share some of mine with you." I nodded and muttered a brief thanks, we settled into conversations as I ate Akeno's food.

"By the way Akeno-san, you cooked this yourself right?" Akeno nodded.

"This is a bit embarrassing but could you teach me how to cook better?" Akeno made a surprised expression and covered her mouth with her hand.

"Oh my, you like my food that much Yuta-kun? Why do you suddenly want to cook better if you don't mind me asking." I thought about what answer I could give.

I really did not want to keep my abilities hidden. Tiptoeing and sneaking around Rias and her peerage was not a good way to improve my power at all.

Besides, I felt like I could trust Rias and her peerage. Rias revived me and passed up on the chance to keep me as a servant against my will even though she knew I was worth 8 pawns. If that doesn't warrant an olive branch of trust I don't know what does.

I scratched the back of my head and tried to find a way to explain without giving too much away.

"I have an ability that I discovered, I can apparently infuse the food I cook myself with my demonic power, doing that allows me to grant my power effects like recovering stamina or curing illnesses. But they are affected by the quality of the food I cook, so I wanted to know if you could teach me." Akeno sported a surprised and curious look when I said this.

"I see, I would love to help you learn some cooking. I wonder if this is your sacred gear manifesting itself? I have never heard about one like this, maybe you should bring this matter up to the president too. I would want to start today but I am held up by a regular contract I have after school today so sorry about that Yuta-kun." I waved her concerns.

I already knew what sacred gears were from my late-night research. Powers and items given by humanity by the big man upstairs for them to stand a chance against the supernaturals. I was certain mine wasn't one but I wasn't going to deny it.

"Could be. I'll talk to her once I figure out more about it." We fell into a rather silent rest of lunch after that, before Akeno went to take a sip of her tea when it suddenly slipped out of her hand somehow and spilt all over shirt, drenching it in green tea but she looked awfully unsurprised by it.

"Oh my~ this isn't good, I spilt some tea on myself, do you mind Yuta-kun?" Mind what? Before my thoughts were voiced however Akeno started taking off her cape and unbuttoned her shirt and took it off while I was stun-locked.

My logical brain tried to push the buttons on the control panel but it was shoved aside by the primal monkey brain inside of me.

Akeno stood in front of me, wearing only her black bra, revealing her large breasts held back barely by the struggling garment, her skin looked so smooth, it was magnetizing.

"Yuta-kun, could you help me with this?"

"Excuse me?" I could feel logic and horny throwing hands over control of my frontal cortex but thankfully logic managed to get an advantage. Enjoying my reactions Akeno chuckled.

"I need your help to unhook my bra." Score. "I'm drenched, I want to clean my clothes before lunch ends." That sounded like a reasonable excuse, I nodded and Akeno turned her back to me.

Her back was smooth with strands of black hair framing it. I reached out toward the hook of bra, my fingers brushed up against the smooth skin of her back, I felt Akeno shudder under my touch. Before I lost my composure I unhooked her bra and adjusted my pants at the speed of light as Akeno's bra fell.

"Thank you so much Yuta-kun, I will be borrowing the shower now." Akeno turned to me, one hand cupping her cheek while the other covered her mountainous breasts, barely preventing them from spilling out, I could see hints of pink around her arm bra.

Man, I really need to get laid.

Akeno flushed a little and giggled at my predicament before getting up and walking toward the shower with her clothes in tow while I slumped back in my seat.

Fuck that was intense.

I need something to occupy myself with or she will start living in my head rent-free.

"Argh, finally done. I can't wait I get some more traditional familiars to do this work for me." The moment I got home I flopped down on my couch.

I really should buy a bike or something. I can't fly or ride my cloud elemental in public since I didn't know mindwipe magic.

After school, I had made the bright decision to ask Rias for more work I could do, since more work = more tickets. So Rias gave me my own pamphlets to distribute to my potential clients so that I wouldn't just mooch off my fellow devils and make a name for myself.

Thankfully, she had already marked potential clients in a demonic GPS thingy so I just had to run to their door and slip the pamphlet in. Excellent cardio exercise but tedious.

As I was doing so, I was actually called to a contract in the middle of it so I had to slip into an alley and use the teleportation spell imbued into the contract papers to go there.

My contract this time was rather simple, the one who called me was basically cookie-cutter. Overworked Japanese office worker.

When he asked what I could provide for him I decided to use Pearl Jam to fix his health up a little which he readily jumped on. As expected of a Japanese wage slave, his health was bad.

After an hour-long cooking show of making foods that address his specific issues and imbuing them with Peal Jam, I managed to fix his back problems, migraines, carpal tunnel and etc.

Safe to say, he gave me some big bucks, 300,000 Yen richer baby. I also got the standard slight demonic power increase from finishing a contract and a Silver Item Ticket for completing a contract with a very satisfied client.

I didn't get the Advantage since this wasn't my first contract but I had a reliable channel for rolls and I wasn't complaining. I just needed to keep cutting deals for more tickets and more tickets for more power and more power was better power.

I pulled up my event log with an excited grin, this was what I was looking forward to at the end of the day.

Woah, that was good. Especially with my Hand to Hand Combat skill. I tested the ability and slotted it in before giving myself some wicked sharp sharp-looking claws in my left hand, a test showed that they were sharper than my kitchen knife with how smoothly they glid through paper.

Alright, now, hopefully, the item is just as good.

Uh.

Where the fuck do I put a whole ass waterfall?

A/N: The helltaker trait is gonna be responsible for hell taking Yuta soon enough. What will poor Yuta do when stuck in between two busty flirtatious devils? Akeno is going in full swing with only the barest hint of subtlety. What did you guys think about the interactions between Yuta and Rias and Akeno?

AYuta is going steady, has decent abilities and an all-rounded build which is decent on all fronts but not great at any of them, he has good recovery but not great, he now he has decent attack but not great. Also, if you guess where the Nymph Waterfall is from, props to you.
