In the weeks following Ereshkigal's summoning, Vahn got to experience just how much she had been holding back out of consideration for Rin.
Though most of her time was spent with the children but, Ereshkigal would often appear whenever Vahn had free time in his schedule. She rarely came with the intention to do anything intimate but, if he wasn't busy, she just liked to spend time with him.
Vahn couldn't always make time for Ereshkigal but, whenever she appeared, he always spent at least a few minutes with her before escorting her back. Just walking hand-in-hand for a bit seemed to be enough to satisfy her, at least temporarily, so this was the least he could do.
Since his own schedule had been opened up quite a bit, Vahn often found himself escorting one or more of his lovers throughout the day. However, with the duel drawing closer with each passing day, this slowly but surely changed. Though he wasn't training much himself, he had been helping guide others in their training after they saw how much progress Gareth had made in such a short period of time.
The person to benefit the most from his guidance was none other than Artoria. She was going to be the one participating in the duel and, though her strength was already more than enough to defeat almost any foe, she was never complacent in her training.
Though they had to move their training to his personal orb, as it was rather embarrassing, Vahn had been helping Artoria refine her body and the holy energy contained within. Since her current body had been provided by him, she was extremely susceptible to the influence of his Source Energy. This had caused a few 'problems' in the beginning but, once she knew what to expect, Artoria was able to tolerate the procedure with a red face as she did her best to sit straight without fidgeting.
Artoria already had a functionally infinite amount of mana and EX-Ranked Magic Circuits so the main focus of her training was increasing her fine control over her mana and her maximum output. Right now, she was like a faucet that had been attached to a large pool. It was possible to force out more mana through the same opening but, as a result, Artoria would seriously damage her own body.
Without [Avalon]'s regeneration, Artoria wouldn't be able to make full use of her power, even while it was sealed. With it, so long as she could withstand torturous pain, Artoria was able to wield greater power without having to worry about the consequences. If she activated [Avalon]'s true power, she would temporarily become immortal while her maximum output had no upper limits.
While [Avalon] seemed to have no weaknesses, the truth was that it had numerous. Though it was almost impossible to exploit, Artoria couldn't actually attack while [Avalon] was active, meaning she had to use her [Instinct], monstrously high luck, and battle experience to attack in the brief interval when an enemy's attack had failed. This didn't matter against most foes but, if her opponent was clever enough, they could essentially force her to remain on the defensive without ever giving her the chance to attack.
The biggest weakness of [Avalon], however, was that it slowly ate away at Artoria's will to even do battle. Since Avalon was supposed to be a peaceful Utopia with various restrictions, Artoria admitted that her mind would begin to wander the longer she was inside. It was just too comfortable to stay inside so, rather than continue fighting hard battles, she would begin to develop the urge to just stop fighting and relax. Though it brought a ruddy blush to her cheeks, she compared it to how he would make her feel after 'tending' to her for a few hours.
In order to make her less reliant on [Avalon], Vahn was helping Artoria strengthen her body while she tempered her mind. She was using an A-Rank meditation technique called [Mind of the White Jade Empress] to unilaterally strengthen her soul while simultaneously cultivating a mentality that allowed for absolute focus. It also had the effect of purifying all forms of energy, further strengthening the Holy Elemental energy in her body.
Whenever Artoria was meditating, her body would be veiled in a white halo which, combined with her ethereal beauty, created a truly breathtaking sight. Though she was a very petite and delicate-looking woman, a noble and dignified aura would spread through the surroundings, giving her the presence of an inviolable Goddess. Knowing she was his Empress, Vahn was always filled with pride and a peculiar sense of 'awe' whenever he saw her in this state...
Curiously, while others would often produce a foul-smelling and murky substance whenever they began cultivating seriously, Artoria hadn't changed in the slightest. Her skin was pearl-white and entirely without blemish while her hair glistened like gold-dust, even in the low light of a candlelit room.
The only real change had been her eyes which, in the past, were a clear and pristine green that reflected a serene and confident light. Now, the green of her eyes had started to fade as a sheen of pure silver slowly replaced it. This made Artoria seem even nobler than before, causing anyone who made eye contact with her to feel a strong desire to look away and lower their head.
Artoria had been surprised when her eyes began to change colors but, as her strength was steadily increasing, she never once considered learning a new technique. Instead, she embraced the change and was looking forward to future changes as, for the past 37 years, her body had been stuck in the same state. Though she would like to 'grow' a bit more, having her eyes change color was enough to bring a smile to her face whenever she caught her own reflection...

WIth Artoria training hard, it was a given that Gray was putting in a considerable amount of effort herself. She had already returned Rhongomyniad to Artoria but, after a discussion with Vivian, her Mystic Codex, the sentient weapon Add, had been strengthened considerably. Though she had to have several restrictions placed on her, mainly to prevent Vivian from being corrupted if it was used for malicious purposes, Gray had no problem with this at all.
The main function of Add, which was its ability to transform into a variety of weapons, hadn't been changed in the slightest. Instead, it had been enchanted with several powerful enchantments, each formed from [Fairy Rune]s. This elevated it to the same level as a Noble Phantasm like Balmung and Excalibur, meaning her power would qualitatively increase, at least when she was wielding Add.
In total, Add had three enchantments placed on it, each placing a different restriction on Gray. This included a comparable level of regeneration to Artoria's [Avalon], albeit without the ability to place her body safely on the Reverse Side of the World. So long as her head was not instantaneously destroyed, she was functionally immortal.
Gray already had incredible regeneration due to her nature as a Dead Apostle so the main purpose of this enhancement was to conceal her identity. In exchange, the restriction placed on her was that she could only activate the enchantment 'with the intent to protect others'. Since her duty was to serve as Artoria's 'shadow', there would rarely, if ever, come a time when she was unable to make use of this enchantment...
The other two enchantments placed on Add were the truly important ones as they gave Gray an incredible amount of power, albeit at the cost of having powerful restrictions placed on her. This included allowing her to drain the power of others, absorbing mana and storing it inside of Add to further enhance her explosive damage potential. As for the final enchantment, it allowed her to 'cut through anything', including the void itself. In exchange, she could only use this ability when fighting against a 'foe that threatens the World' while her final restriction prevented her power from being used against 'an enemy weaker than herself'.
If the conditions were met, Gray could even rival A-Rank Heroic Spirits, placing her around the same level as Artoria in her sealed state. Since the only reason the enchantments wouldn't activate was if she were essentially fighting against someone weaker than herself, it was a tremendous boon that allowed her to fight almost indefinitely. After all, she continually siphon the magic power from her opponents and, with her constitution as a Dead Apostle, Gray had functionally infinite stamina.
With her increased capabilities, Gray had been taking her training very seriously so as not to be completely useless in her self-assigned task. She refused to be weak and defenseless so, knowing that the Bathomeloi family was targetting her, Gray had an even stronger drive that Artoria to grow stronger. When the duel came to an end, she intended to be one of the people fighting on the frontline, not someone stuck in the back being protected.
Vahn could, quite literally, feel Gray's conviction through the bond they shared. Thus, whilst Artoria and Scáthach were changing the lay of the land in their battle, he had the monochromatic girl in his lap as she, quite vigorously, sucked his blood. At the same time, he had his hand oner her back, one near her heart and the other adjacent to where her 'core' was located. He not only helped her refine her Magic Circuits further but also guided the Source Energy contained in his blood so that it had an even greater effect on her body.
Though he would never admit it, Vahn was quite fond of his time with Gray as, for obvious reasons, she reminded him a lot of Eva. He still had the latter's memory fragment curled up in a fetal position within his soul, patiently awaiting the day he would awaken her. Vahn knew she would lambast him for having so many women at his side but, with an eternity to share, he hoped she forgave him after a bit of coaxing.
Since she could sense his wayward thoughts, Gray began to put more effort into sucking his blood, causing Vahn to chuckle lightly as he stroked her back and whispered, "You're adorable..." This made the flush on her face even more prominent and, due to her face forming a smile, a trickle of blood managed to break free from where her lips were overlapped with his neck. After realizing this, Gray stopped sucking his blood before lowering her head and, as if it was the most natural thing in the world, licking up the trail of blood before it could stray too far.
After licking up the wayward blood, Gray licked her lips before looking up at him and opening her mouth, seemingly to show that she had swallowed it properly. This allowed Vahn to see her sharp canines and, feeling a little playful, he began to trace his thumb along her lip before bringing it to test how sharp her fangs were. They were, as expected, very sharp so, despite being immune to any attack beneath B-Rank, Vahn's thumb ended up getting pricked by the ivory white protrusion.
In response to her Master's antics, Gray closed her lips around his thumb and began to suckle on it while maintaining eye contact with him. This caused a smile to immediately spread across his face, something that made Gray's heart flutter madly in her chest. She began to breathe a little heavily through her nose but, before they could take things any further, a loud explosion rippled outward from several kilometers away. Immediately after that, a shockwave reached them but, using his domain, Vahn was easily able to dissipate the force contained within.
While still sitting in her Master's lap, Gray craned her head to see a large cloud of devastation as blue and scarlet mana fought for supremacy against each other. It looked like something you would only see at the end of the world, almost as if good and evil were fighting one final climactic battle. In this instance, 'evil' seemed to win out as, after several tense moments, the radiant blue energy was overwhelmed by the scarlet tempest.
Scáthach lacked the means to contest Artoria's [Avalon] but, in a direct engagement, she was still far more skilled than the golden-haired Knight Empress. With Vahn's 'fragment' inside of her body, she had a functionally infinite amount of mana with far greater mastery than Artoria. Though she might not be able to 'win' against [Avalon], there were several ways in which she could bring the fight to a favorable end.
This time around, Scáthach had used reddish-black chains to bind Artoria's body after separating her from [Excalibur]. Vahn could see that much of Artoria's armor had been destroyed, her right hand bound while her left hand was preventing a chain from wrapping around her neck. Unfortunately, she lacked the physical strength to contend against Scáthach and, without activating [Avalon], the chains had started to corrode at her flesh. This forced the overpowered Noble Phantasm to activate without her intent, bringing the fight to an end due to their prior agreement.
After the chains released her body, Artoria released a tired sigh as she shook her head and stated, "I still have a long way to go. Thank you for your guidance."
Despite being an Empress, Artoria still bowed toward Scáthach as, while the latter had significantly lower status, it was never improper to lower your head to someone willing to teach and help you. If she didn't have this type of personality, Scáthach wouldn't even bother to train her, despite having already acknowledged Artoria's potential.
Once Artoria raised her head, Scáthach gave an approving nod before saying, "Acknowledging one's own faults is necessary for growth. You have endless potential and an unwavering nature...I only wish my other student followed your example..."
As she spoke, Scáthach turned her eyes briefly toward where Vahn and Gray were waiting, causing Artoria to smile while shaking her head. She knew that Scáthach was being sincere but, while the cold beauty might not have realized it herself, many, included Artoria, had noticed the subtle change in her character. While her reasoning behind having Vahn take a break was sound, they speculated that Scáthach herself had needed a break from relentlessly beating her beloved pupil.
Though it would have been more prudent to stay silent, Artoria decided that it was her duty to take her husband's side on this matter. Her smile became slightly more pronounced as she firmly stated, "A time will come when Vahn has no equals in this world. You know better than most how lonely it is to be peerless...it is our duty to make sure he does not break from the burden."
While Artoria was speaking Scáthach had been staring directly at her with the same blank expression she was known for. In the end, however, the corner of her lips arced upward ever so slightly as she nodded her head and answered, "I know my duty well, Empress of Knights...so long as the possibility of death is not denied me, I will continue to support that man until he is satisfied..."
Artoria could sense the sincerity in Scáthach's words but, perhaps due to the Fate she was purported to have, she knew there was something 'more' behind the peerless warrior's words. This caused her heart to palpitate and, for a brief moment, Artoria felt a powerful urge to unleash her power against Scáthach...
Seeing how Artoria had reacted, Scáthach's smile became more prominent as she squinted her eyes and added, "You needn't worry...I am content playing the part I have been given..."
By the time Scáthach had finished speaking, her body had already vanished into thin air, making it impossible for even Artoria to sense her. This wasn't the normal way in which a Heroic Spirit would turn into a spirit, as Scáthach still had to wait up to an hour after combat. Instead, she was using a potent form of [Presence Concealment] in conjunction with several other Skills to make her presence within the void.
After witnessing this, Artoria felt even greater concern but, considering Scáthach's nature, she felt that her worries were unwarranted. Though she felt a primal sense of urgency, almost as if she was going to lose something intrinsic to her survival, Artoria's rational told her this wasn't the case. If anything, she felt threatened as a 'woman', something she had never experienced in regards to the other women at Vahn's side.
Though Vahn had incredible capabilities, to the point of even being able to conquer a Goddess with a Divinity related to Sex, Artoria felt that he would ultimately lose out against Scáthach. She didn't know why, but this actually terrified her quite a bit more than she expected. Something about Vahn being defeated in the bedroom filled her with an instinctual fear as, compared to all the fantastical things surrounding her Master and husband, the one thing she couldn't imagine was him losing at the thing he seemed peerless at...
Without her notice, several minutes had passed since Scáthach's departure. Artoria had just been standing in the middle of a devastated landscape with a thoughtful expression on her face. She didn't even notice when Vahn and Gray approaching her until his voiced reached her ears. This caused Artoria to startle before her face developed a deep flush when she saw how the two were looking at her.
Vahn was amused by Artoria's reaction and was planning to tease her a bit until, moments later, she shattered the foundation of everything he thought he knew by saying, "From now on, I want you to teach me how to have sex...I want to see the limits of your capabilities. Teach me everything and I'll do my best to improve so that you can polish your skills further..."
By the time Artoria finished her request, all three of them had scarlet red faces while Vahn's mind had stopped functioning entirely. He had no idea what brought this on but, seeing how 'serious' she was, Vahn felt like it was impossible to refuse. He was even beginning to feel a little nervous as, in the past, Artoria only ever had this expression when she was preparing for hard training. Though the blush was a new addition, he knew she wouldn't take no for an answer...
From that moment onward, Vahn's training with the two girls had an extra, infinitely more intimate component. Things progressed so quickly that, by the time he was preparing to summon Maxwell's Demon, Vahn had even awakened his first Divinity in the Nasuverse...one relating to Sex. At the same time, the girls around him all had glowing skin and happy smiles while Artoria and Gray, in particular, experienced a qualitative change in their strength and disposition...

If he were being honest, Vahn had always wondered what it would be like if he actually became a God of Sex. It was one of those Divinities that didn't seem all that useful but, considering the size of his harem, he felt it would be very helpful for keeping his women happy.
Now, Vahn could only smile wryly at his past self's innocence as, after obtaining a Divinity related to Sex, he quickly realized it brought a variety of issues along with it.
The most troublesome part of obtaining any Divinity was the 'connection' you felt with it. Just as a Master Blacksmith or a Master Mechanic were drawn to their craft, Vahn felt a 'need' to have sex but, rather than say he was horny, it suddenly seemed 'natural' to him.
As strange as it was to admit, Vahn suddenly felt as if sex was a very natural and sincere form of communication, one that brought two, or more, people together. He could also feel the emotions of those he was having sex with, bringing him great pleasure and happiness. Rather than the feeling of pride he used to have when tending to multiple women at a time, he now had a vibrant smile on his face as, even without melding, he could 'feel' everything related to his partner's state with greater ease than breathing.
While this was certainly useful in the bedroom, Vahn's Divinity never took a break. So long as they were within the boundaries of his perception, he could sense the pent up urges people were holding back. Even without his View Affection active, he knew when one of his women desired his presence so, in the days following his ascension, Vahn had been wandering the corridors of the castle with a Divine Purpose.
This is where his problems truly began as, with his newfound awareness, Vahn, quite literally, couldn't ignore the feelings and intentions of those around him. As he walked through the halls of the castle, he could feel the potent and repressed desires of many of the Homunculi that worked within the Inner Sanctum. He actually felt empathy for them and, if not for the last vestiges of his self-control, Vahn would have pulled many of them aside just to make them 'happy'.
Though the Homunculi was certainly a cause for concern, it was the presence of a certain perpetually smiling girl that truly weighed heavily on Vahn's mind. He knew that Gareth had been restraining her more carnal desires before so, after obtaining a Sex Divinity, Vahn was now hyperaware of the state of her body and mind. She put on a strong front by smiling radiantly at all times but, whenever he would part with her to make love to one of his women, he now had a very strong understanding of how much she was suffering.
Since he already had permission, it wasn't long before Vahn simply couldn't resist seeing her suffer any longer. He briefly discussed things with his Empresses before pulling Gareth along with him as he visited the Menagerie. After that, Gareth was no longer just his Page and, even more so than her past self, she always had a bright and cheerful smile on her face. The only downside to this change was the fact that, rather than being content with head patting and gentle caressing, Gareth would basically go into heat towards the end of all their training sessions.
By the time two days had passed, Gareth could be seen walking closely behind him, a happy smile on her face and a very noticeable collar around her neck. Since his Divinity allowed him to interpret the wants and desires of other people, Vahn always knew exactly how to satisfy both their body and, more importantly, their mind. He could even make use of the limited-omniscience that came with Divinity in the Nasuverse, allowing him to better understand its uses and limitations.
Unlike Scáthach, who couldn't turn her omniscience off, Vahn had the inherent ability to toggle it on and off at his leisure. When it was active inside of Avalon, he could 'feel' the location and everything on the island, including the various flora and fauna present. This flooded his mind with an awareness of everything but, rather than true omniscience, it was more accurate to say he could sense their wants and desires. It was a rather perverse ability as, while active, his perception seemed to provide him greater information regarding those wanting to have sex than anything else...
Since he had to experience it at least once, Vahn had traveled to the outside a few hours after first obtaining his new Divinity. When he turned his omniscience on, it felt like he had become a singular grain of sand on an expansive beach. At the same time, he could feel 'literally trillions' of lifeforms and their desire to procreate. It was an overwhelming amount of information and, despite his best efforts, Vahn realized it was impossible for him to block out his awareness of the carnal desires of other creatures.
This was one of the biggest restrictions to the limited-omnipotent provided to Gods as, rather than saying it allowed them to know everything, it was more accurate to say it made them hyperaware of anything related to their Divinity. Sex was one of the most fundamental components of life so, while it was very useful for tending to his women, Vahn realized it was a rather unfortunate ability to have with the current state of the world.
While it was impossible for him to spread his senses into any areas with powerful Bounded Fields, Vahn had been able to sense almost every human in the world simultaneously. All of their desires were conveyed to him without any filter whatsoever. He was simultaneously aware of the passionate interactions between lovers and the infinitely more vile acts taking place all over the world. The thing that pissed him off the most, and ultimately allowed him to break free from the overwhelming flood of information, was the fact his Divinity made him 'accept' even violent acts of rape and cruelty as something perfectly natural.
Following his first usage of his limited-omnipotence, Vahn had never activated it again as, with his [Will of the Emperor] suppressing his 'acceptance' of such acts, he felt he might go on a killing spree if he turned it on again. Since he did not want to bear the burden of purging nearly a fifth of the world's population just yet, this was the only thing he could do to suppress the overwhelming urge to enact his own brand of justice upon the vile and despicable people his omnipotence brought to light.
For the time being, Vahn had other things to focus on but, as he couldn't simply ignore what he had learned, Vahn informed Alaya that she could use as much of his mana as necessary to punish anyone trying to commit sexual crimes against children. She couldn't actually use his stored mana to harm or kill humans but, at the very least, she could give people an awareness of what was happening. As a result, police and pedestrians alike would just 'feel' that something was wrong, allowing them to step in and intervene before any further damage could be done. Since she had the ability to see into the future, there was a steep decline in the number of violent crimes against children in the immediate aftermath of Vahn's ascension. At the same time, though he wouldn't come to learn this until later, there was a sharp increase in the number of devout followers of the Holy Church...
---
For what felt like the hundredth time, Vahn found himself being inspected by Da Vinci as she took samples of and conducted tests on his raiment. Since he had obtained a Divinity, he had been given a raiment and, though he could change at will, his appearance had also undergone a few changes. This included his eyes gaining a pink hue around the pupils that allowed him to charm others while his body and hair seemed to radiate a subtle glow that was only discernible to a few people. He also gained immunity against other forms of charms, giving him an advantage against Da Vinci that she was slowly figuring out a solution to.
While she was collecting data, Da Vinci took it upon herself to tease him a bit by lightly squeezing the exposed part of his butt. This caused Vahn to smile wryly as he rolled his eyes and allowed her to do as she pleased. When he was dressed like this, it was futile to try and stop the girls from touching him as, similar to the girdle worn by Aphrodite, they were almost instinctually drawn to him. It was for this reason that he didn't wear his raiment outside of his bedroom, not that he would have even if it didn't have this ability...
Staring at himself in a tall mirror, Vahn could only shake his head each time he saw his raiment in its full glory. It took on the form of skintight white bottoms that covered just about as much as Ishtar's. This gave the appearance of fitted underwear, accentuating the bulge at his front while showing off a large part of his butt due to the minimalist coverage of the fabric. Other than a few golden bands, a golden laurel crown, and some kind of sock that exposed his toes and heels, this was the entirety of his highly revealing raiment.
Seemingly dissatisfied with being ignored, Da Vinci took advantage of Vahn's momentary distraction to lean forward, this time biting his fleshy butt cheek with a bit of force. Since he was immune to any attacks lower than B-Rank, Vahn just turned his head to find Da Vinci looking up at him with a playful smile. Their respective charms seemed to clash against each other before, from Vahn's perspective, a subtle pink glow began to spread from the center of her eyes. Her EX-Rank [Mesmerizing Gaze] was certainly powerful but, against an unrestricted God of Sex, even Da Vinci would suffer a defeat.
After a short recess, a now red-faced Da Vinci was dutifully collecting data while Vahn, feeling very refreshed and happy, had a smile on his face as he allowed his mind to wander. Compared to the past, where she could contend against him almost indefinitely, Vahn could tend to Da Vinci's needs in a short twenty minutes if he put in an effort. He always knew exactly what she wanted him to do and, with his enhanced capabilities, it didn't take long before he had all of her sub-processes fully focused on him.
Once she finished conducting her tests, Da Vinci released a hot sigh as she habitually cupped her own cheek and mused, "I never expected the realm of Gods to be so far away...I'll need to redouble my efforts..."
Hearing her remark, Vahn's smile widened as he extended his hand and stroked her silky-smooth hair. His [Hands of Nirvana] had become demonstrably more powerful after his ascension but, this time, Vahn only used it to bring comfort to Da Vinci as he confidently stated, "I have no doubt that you'll be able to manage it...just don't push yourself too much. The way things are right now...they aren't all that bad, are they~?"
Da Vinci couldn't help but giggle when she heard Vahn's words as, no matter how she tried to spin things, it was the truth. Still, she couldn't help but try and understand everything so, while it would not be her main focus, she was determined to understand hos 'Sex Laws' worked. She felt that it was a resonating force that enhanced positive emotions as, when she participated in the massive orgy that led to Vahn's ascension, several pulses of mysterious energy were spreading through the room with each of his thrusts. For a brief moment, everyone present felt like a singular entity, each linked together by Vahn in an inexplicable way...
Though she had only used one of her processes to think about that past incident, Da Vinci's other processes began to reminisce at the same time. This caused her face to develop a ruddy flush and, though they had only had sex less than twenty minutes ago, she was in the mood to go again. Vahn was very aware of this so, after releasing a light-hearted laugh, he carried her back to the privacy of their 'love nest', the only area of the Workshop that Sophia didn't have access to. Then, once again, Vahn made full use of his Divinity until Da Vinci was completely satisfied.
---
Feeling even more refreshed, Vahn left the Workshop to find Gareth standing outside with a happy smile on her face. He noticed her nostrils wiggle a few times, the natural aroma of his body tickling her olfactory senses and causing her smile to widen considerably. She had a very sensitive nose and, though he shouldn't have any aroma at all, Vahn had heard most of the girls tell him that he smelled very sweet now. Fenrir had been the first to mention this, describing his aroma as 'warm honey that makes her heart feel fluffy'.
To reward her patience, Vahn gave a small nod to Gareth and, if she had a tail, he imagined it would be wagging at a similar speed to Nanu. Then, with a little touch much force, she practically tackled him before nuzzling her face against his chest uninhibitedly. She took several audible breaths of his aroma, causing Vahn to feel her happiness building alongside her arousal. Fortunately, while she was very 'wild' at times, Gareth actually had commendable self-control so, after nuzzling him for around a minute, she gave a satisfied sigh before releasing him.
When she separated from him, Vahn couldn't resist the urge to lean down and give her a kiss as, at this moment in time, it was what Gareth wanted the most from him. If he wanted to, Vahn could go on an auto-pilot, similar to his [Laplace's Key], that allowed him to always respond in the desired way of those around him. Though he liked to be in control, there were times over the last few days when he just allowed the experience to wash over him, like a coursing river filled with warmth and happy feelings. He allowed this river of emotions to carry him freely, pulling the girls along for the ride so they could reach the destination they desired without fail.
Since Gareth wanted 'more' after the first kiss, Vahn gave her a quick kiss on the forehead before running his fingers through her hair and saying, "There will be time for that later. Come now, little pup, we have other places to be..."
Hearing her Master's words, Gareth felt her heart double its rhythm, causing a feeling of suffocation to build that forced her breathe heavily. Despite this, she managed to restrain her building urges by nodding her head and answering, "I'm looking forward to it~!" in a chipper tune. Then, so as not to cause her Master any trouble, she began to repeat a mantra in her mind while trying to control the flow of mana in her body in a specific way. Like everyone else, she had started cultivating so, at times like this, she could keep calm by focusing on her meditation technique.
---
After a short journey, Vahn found himself standing near the entrance to the Knight's Training Field, a place that had become rather dangerous for him as of late. Still, he did not think his self-control was so lacking so, after psyching himself up and earning a giggle from Gareth, he made his way outside.
Almost as soon as he appeared, Vahn felt several pairs of eyes shift focus toward him. One of these gazes was particularly fiery, even though her expression was the same as it had always been. As a result, Vahn gave a small wave before making his way over to the side and taking his usual seat. He put on a strong front but, at the back of his mind, Vahn couldn't help but feel frustrated at himself and the awareness his Divinity afforded him.
If not for his Divinity, he would have been able to pretend there wasn't an issue but, now that he was unable to ignore it, Vahn could only suppress his 'acceptance' as he gave an approving nod towards the girls training on the field. This brought a smile to girls' faces as they began working just a little harder than before his arrival. They were all very earnest in their training, something that made Vahn feel proud every time he bore witness to their efforts.
At this point, he had basically become a surrogate father to Zoë while Mash had started to idolize him a considerable amount. He didn't know why she was so loyal to him but, as he rarely interacted with the lavender-haired girl in any meaningful ways, but she would gain a few hundred points with the passing of each day. In the past, he thought she had a crush on him but, while there were a few moments when she had 'deviant' urges, this was almost exclusively in response to the teasing of other people. Since most people couldn't help but let their mind wander if someone brought up such a topic, he couldn't blame the pubescent girl for her wayward thoughts.
No, what had recently become the source of Vahn's greatest stress, other than the borderline feral Illya, was none other than his eldest daughter. Though she concealed it very well, to the point he hadn't even suspected anything in the past, Vahn knew that Mordred had a very 'adult' mind. She had already killed thousands of people in the past and, though she had never lost her virginity, she was very aware of the intimate interactions between men and women.
What troubled Vahn the most was the fact that Mordred, especially after hard training and serious exercise, got far too 'excited'. It hadn't been obvious before but she had a predatory glint in her eye whenever she looked at other girls, not just Fenrir. This wasn't the biggest problem, however, as it wasn't all that surprising for Mordred to be restraining such urges. Instead, it was the fact that, when he would appear, Mordred's intentions would shift toward him. Her cheerful smile now seemed like nothing but a mask and, though she obviously cherished her status as his daughter, Vahn knew there was more than just familial love in Mordred's gaze. This wasn't something he couldn't deal with but, now that he had a Divinity related to Sex, part of Vahn's mind was constantly telling him it was okay to do something had never even considered in the past...

(A/N: Some people might have issues with how Vahn's Divinity is expressed but, with how Laws work, they don't really care about 'good' and 'evil'. Sex can be a pure expression of intimacy or, in many sad cases, one of the most terrible expressions of human cruelty. Regardless, this is all 'natural' in the grand scheme of things, at least from the objective perspective of the Laws. The deviancies of people are what pollute otherwise innocent and beautiful things. Don't blame me for trying to represent the banes just as much as I try to present the boons.)
