บท 97: Hot spring, the last chapter

Lauren was panicking as she wrapped herself with a towel, and immediately grabbed her tablet to see what happened. As she watched the replay of the last hour she didn't know what to think. But when she went to the present and saw Alex recalling her naked body, and more specifically the tattoos on her ass, she felt mostly embarrassment and regret. There was no restrictions on actually meeting their contestant they were assigned to, but they could not provide more aid than they did from their domain, and almost all of her coworkers didn't because they felt it was beneath them.

She decided that meeting Alex face to face would be a nice change of pace even if she was going to stay in her domain for pretty much the entire time she worked with him. When he decided to visit a hot springs she thought it was the perfect chance to do so, and immediately traveled to this world. She used the name Ren because even if she met Alex she couldn't reveal herself to others so easily, and was waiting for a chance when he was alone.

Now however she didn't have the guts to meet him face to face, especially when she looked at her tablet again and saw him once more recalling her ass. She got dressed as quickly as possible and pretty much fled the inn.

Alex was trying to figure out what to do, he fingered and made out with the wife of Satan, then barged into a random woman's room when she was naked. Grayfia could be argued that she was drunk, but he didn't think that would sit well with Sirzechs. As for the Ren girl, he was already surprised he wasn't getting called out for being a molester or something. He sat there thinking for a while, but nothing still happened, and finally he left his room to knock on her door. He decided to try to apologize and see if she'll be understanding, who knows she might be 'really' understanding.

KNOCK

"Hello?" He called out at the door, but no one answered. He then went to the front desk to see if she was there lodging a complaint about him, but saw no one there. He then walked up to the receptionist,

"Excuse, do you know where the other guest is, Ren, the one by herself?" The receptionist looked surprised and replied,

"She just left, in quite a hurry too. I hope she wasn't upset with us or something." Alex felt even worse, as he know thought he ran out a random woman during her holiday. Soon his mind was occupied with something else, as Rias entered his vision. She sighed when she saw him and walked over,

"I talked to big sister, and she said that what happened is her fault so don't feel bad about it." He was surprised, and was about to argue but Rias shook her head and said,

"She drank some alcohol, and she becomes a bit troublesome when she drinks. Considering that she came to keep an eye on us, it was her irresponsibility that led to it." Alex decided to keep his mouth shut and just accept this as he wasn't now at fault. He was especially surprised that the one that seemed to be doing the reprimanding was Rias, as it was usually the other way around. It also helped that he knew she did something similar with issei in a short story, but obviously not to that extent. Rias then continued with a face almost as red as her hair,

"And I guess it's partially my fault. Neither of you were doing anything bad until we came in, and I instigated things with Sona." Her voice got a it smaller and she looked away at the last part, but Alex smiled wickedly and pulled her closer before saying,

"If you're at fault then I guess I need to "punish" you tonight. Once it's time for bed come to my room with Akeno." She looked away with a red face but nodded slowly. They then relaxed for the rest of the day, and Alex felt better now that the situation with Grayfia was settled. They had a table tennis tournament, used massage chairs, and generally spent the evening relaxing.

That night he spent with Rias and Akeno like he promised, except he was only with Akeno. As her "punishment", Rias had to watch as Alex screwed Akeno all night, and could only please herself when he would barely touch her, just enough to get her excited. As a result she went to sleep feeling very unsatisfied, but didn't complain.

The next day they packed their stuff and got ready to leave. Alex thought this trip was quite eventful, and didn't know if he should consider it a good thing or a bad thing. Grayfia had already left before they woke up, and no one said anything about it. Saji looked as if he was trying to murder Alex with his glares, leading Alex to think one of the girls leaked what he and Sona did in the bath together. He smiled back at Saji, and gave him the numbs up in response, Alex could've sworn he saw Saji puke a little blood after that.

The most eventful thing on the way back was Azazel's crazy driving as they rocketed home. He and Alex talked about the details for the car he was going to get him, and Alex was quite excited to see it. There was the same three in the back seat as before, and when Alex looked back to heck on them was surprised to see Ophis asleep and muttering about killing great red. Then Alex heard Xenovia start an interesting conversation with Yura.

"So Yura, how come none of you guys ever try to make a move on Alex? I see that you all want to but you never do." Yura smiled bitterly, and replied,

"We talked about it a while back, and decided that well only move after our king. Once she really becomes his woman then we'll start to go on the attack." Alex heard their conversation, and was curious about what led to such a discussion in the first place. However he was looking forward to the day Sona became his even more, as it seemed as if he'll get to finally have her female peerage members at the same time.
