Chapter 36: Communication
"You met Tiamat...?" asked Rias, surprised but not too surprised as the errant Dragon Queen was known to appear near people with interesting fates or valuable treasures, and Vahn fit both categories.
"Yeah, and she offered to become my Familiar..." responded Vahn, staring at Rias's ass and what lay underneath as she bent over and removed her black, purple-trimmed lace thong in a way that purposely gave him a clear view.
"Oh...now that's surprising..." remarked Rias, half-turning to stare back at Vahn with a smile before slingshotting her panties at his face. He could have easily dodged or caught them, but he allowed them to hit, catching them as they fell and giving them a sniff as he held her gaze.
"So, what did you say...?" asked Rias, approaching and linking her arms around Vahn's neck and shoulders, kissing his lower half with her bottom lips as she guessed, "Considering she isn't here, I presume you refused? Though, knowing what I know about her, I can't imagine she would simply leave...unless, of course, you bribed her..."
"I love how smart you are..." muttered Vahn, grabbing and rubbing Rias's hips with his thumbs as he gently moved his own from front to back. Her already flushed face became redder, but since they were supposed to be taking a bath, she tightened her arms around him and gave him a lengthy kiss before meeting his gaze and stating, "Save that for after the bath. We don't need you picking your stuff out of my hair like last time..."
"Right..." muttered Vahn, giving Rias another kiss before getting in the bath before her, enabling her to sit between his legs and recline against him as he apprised her of the specifics of his brief but fateful encounter with the infamous Chaos Karma Dragon, including the fact she planned to seek him out in the future...

Though it was a bit jarring to return to class after spending approximately eight days in the Corridor, Vahn was doing his best to pay attention when he noticed that Issei was staring off into space with a distinctly perverted look on his face.
'Looks like he still needs training...' thought Vahn, believing Issei was just daydreaming when, in fact, his stoat, Munemaru, was skulking around the Academy, sharing its vision with him. It had the unique ability to suppress its aura and turn almost completely invisible, so it was adept at infiltration, gathering information, and, in Issei's case, peeking up skirts and sneaking into places he wouldn't dare venture himself.
