The Eternal Sanctum (Holy Knight Headquarters)

Lessons had been given, and while Usagi already understood the importance of completing lectures... Anais was a special kind of influence in certain moments, who was prone to procrastination. Ailen seemed to have no problem delivering the needed information but it would seem that Anais was at least thoughtful enough to be actively distracting him from time to time. Well, it seemed she was learning just the same, but it was interesting to see the elf struggle because of this wayward girl and her playfully innocent visage. Still, Anais's question would be answered just as shakily as Ailen's legs had been moving about. An initial stutter before her confirmed his wellness. "Well that's great, Shishou. I still need my lesson after all~" she expressed a genuine happiness, but there was something just a little bit off about the way she smiled, like she was amused by his fluster.

Usagi found herself looking at her friend while catching her breath and hearing Ailen's commentary about her nature during an event like this she could only scoff. He had confused words initially about the way Anais was behaving being both normal and abnormal, but also claiming that he'd seen signs of such things since the previous day. He also asked if she had room to talk. "Of course I have room to talk... I'm a demon we expect the unexpected from me~" she expressed of herself. Something about Anais's hand moving up and her back the way it was seemed almost threatening after that previous maneuver. "I am glad though... I always aim to have a good time. Still if her execution is on the upswing we remain in danger..." Usagi mentioned. 'I wonder if I picked the wrong side of the alliance?' she pondered only to remember that if she'd done so she'd definitely know. It would also appear that Anais was currently content to let them both actually catch their breath from that moment forward, but she still wasn't really done with them yet. As such her smile and gentle touches remained even as she watched her mentor.

Of course Ailen couldn't be in a bad way after that unexpected expulsion. If he wound up that way, he'd affect... the other lesson he already had to give. This was one hell of a morning he'd agreed to. "Indeed you do. Your course on nature, hers on the elven languages and remaining conventions of nature. The others may end up waiting for you," he said.

The aforementioned 'others', according to Ailen's senses, were quite busy themselves ─ at least three of them. Charlemagne's morning consisted of being used as a goddess's mount, and Astolfo's consisted of... watching his leader be mounted, and enjoying the absolute hell out of it. Since he'd reached a position that would leave him unseen by the other male, Astolfo was having even more scandalous thoughts. Sakura had an incredibly plump bottom, perfectly rounded and just about in the perfect position for him to see her anus. His skirt had already become nothing more than a drape over half his cock, which small amounts of mana were pooling at the tip of. Maybe his new impulse would be a worthwhile one to follow?

Regardless of the others' situation, Ailen still had much to deal with. Even if they finished their dealings and gathered at the meeting point, he had lessons to give that had already been arranged. He wouldn't leave his students ignorant when they sought knowledge ─ especially not his apprentice. Besides, there was something interesting happening with the demeanors in this scene. Usagi insisted that she had plenty of room to talk, being a demon and all. "Is that so? Strange; I didn't think flexibility was a demon trait," he quipped. Ailen still had a firm grip of the girl's rear, and he was keen to squeeze it even while his pelvis was being saturated by a mix of their fluids. "I think it will be fine. We've come to an understanding in our arrangement. It's all in the spirit of learning, right, Salentael?" he asked of Anais mostly in rhetoric.

According to Ailen with all that needed to be taught the girls could potentially end up being late to their arranged meeting. Usagi gave it some thought and her senses opened up quite a bit, allowing her to see most of the area of this HQ and everyone within and outside of it within a certain radius of herself. "Eh? I don't really think we'll be too late even if we finish all the necessary lessons~" Usagi mentioned. A few seconds later Anais was giving it consideration. "Well, I do hate being late for things, but I can't really skip lessons either... if Charlie isn't out and about yet it should be fine," she murmured. 'Besides it's best if I don't think about it.' she confirmed to herself. Yes, that was the stance she took. If she happened to be late again well no one would actually blame her... she was studying. Yes, that worked as a valid excuse for anything, no one blamed a contentious student. 'Brilliant, already making excuses~' Sinais mused. That version of herself seemed to enjoy when Anais found something she wanted to do more than her responsibilities. Perhaps it was truly demonic in nature.

At the same time, Sakura was having quite a good go of her ride of Charles. Her senses were always open and she was fully aware of the placement of most people within this building. She knew her father and the apprentices were busy. She also knew the placement of Astolfo so she had no reason at all to be concerned about her actions. Moreover, Charles had basically said she could do what she wanted, and a morning exchange would be quite good for them. Anything she'd taken into herself so far had been quite thoroughly processed by now and she would easily find herself leaning over the lad to offer it back to him. Her large breasts directly in his face as her ride continued. "If you don't want to empty yourself out too much, you should take some back. You did mention that you were going to train today~" she said keeping in mind the things he'd previously mentioned. Her understanding of humans was strained in general but that didn't mean she didn't have a basic understanding of human life. Just the same her forward lean would have her rear quite up and in the air, for an undisclosed amount of time.

Speaking of time, it was flowing pretty easily towards a morning full of sex and lessons. Interestingly enough, they were allowed their recovery as Ailen questioned the flexibility of a demon. "It's a me trait... but demons are capable of a lot of things~" Usagi mentioned seeming to find it amusing. Just the same, Ailen was gripping Usagi's rear with those very large hands of his and she was sure she could feel them on all of the skin of her rear. There was surprise on her face when she looked down at Anais. "Eh? His hands are huge! Like they cover my whole butt and it's a lot you know? It wasn't even small to begin with... " she stated as if she fully understood it. "I am aware of how big it is... always have been," Anais answered with a smile on her face which was likely a bit disturbing. Beyond those words the ones shared by Ailen caused a gentle blush to cover the girl's face. All in the spirit of learning using a rather interesting elvish term as a reference for her. "Hai, all in the spirit of learning... Shishou~" she said while a little prickle of power escaped from her finger tips down the spine of Usagi who once again wiggled her hips a bit. "Oh? You know when you smile like that you look like your mom. Is this like the 'sweetie' versus 'cutie' thing?" Usagi asked as her mind seemed to be ready for the next lesson.

Lateness wasn't much of an issue. It already didn't matter for Ailen, and it seemed neither of the students thought it would make a difference regardless. With the excuse produced by Anais, he nodded. Opportunities for learning were to be taken advantage of. Much to the elf's satisfaction, both Anais and Usagi seemed more interested in taking advantage than bothering with other things. "Ah, good. We'll finish the lectures then," he said.

Charlemagne's life had been full of sex since his first experience only a few days before. Sakura alone had kept him busy for hours on end. They hadn't known each other for a week yet, but he was sure this was a month's activity thus far. Based on his normal understanding of self, he should have been out of mana tens of minutes ago... but that wasn't the case now. He had mana plentiful enough to keep going for hours more, it seemed. Still, he wouldn't be turning down the offer of some recovery. Charlemagne took the goddess's teat directly to the mouth, inhaling as if he'd soon be in danger of dehydration otherwise. After all, by now the lad understood how much a bit of extra mana could actually do for him. Attending that group meeting hadn't been a conscious thought for some time now.

Meanwhile, Astolfo was experiencing even more of a treat. When Sakura leaned into Charlemagne, her rear was lifted. He witnessed its constant rise and fall, burned its roundness into his retinas while peering into a potential entrance. Ah, but peering wasn't enough. The pink-haired lad felt drawn, and he was never one to refrain from impulses. As such, he was soon enough creeping closer and closer to the bed, his hands lifted and grabbing at the air as if he planned to fill the emptiness with Sakura's body soon.

Once more, Anais and Usagi had words to share with each other. This time, it was on the topic of Ailen's hands ─ specifically their size. Well, he was an elf after all; these differences were to be expected. No matter; they would quickly move on to an agreement about the spirit of learning. "Indeed. Now, with everything agreed upon, I suppose we should begin the next lesson? It should be..." And again, there was an incomplete statement. The time had come for Ailen to extricate himself from Usagi's womb. He managed that much, though not without discovering an urge to continue gently thrusting into her canal. Why did that occur? He recalled acting on such an impulse ages ago, upon meeting Miwa. Well... this one was also in the form of a Celestial with the soul of a demon, he supposed.

"Hai hai," mentioned Anais and Usagi also nodded. She knew such a thing would involve a retreat from the space of her womb, but that wasn't truly a problem for her. In the meantime there were other people living a very different style of threesome. There was a distinctly more voyeuristic quality to the early morning scene playing out between Sakura and Charles.

In this particular case, Sakura's continued ride was being accented by the suction of mana directly from her bosom. Such a thing was quite good for general purposes such as making sure that the mana of Charles didn't deplete entirely. That aside she was quite certain it felt nice as her hips moved against his still erect manhood. Though she was leaned forward a gentle rise and fall soon became associated with a deep almost throbbing sensation within her as mana was drawn directly from her body. Ah, well at least she understood why people would offer it this way... it did feel quite nice when there were no truly high stakes involved. It wasn't that she hadn't enjoyed it in the first place it was simply that this had a more intimate feeling to it.

Ah, but was that intimacy to be maintained. Such was a strange mental question she found herself grappling with as she knew that Astolfo was in this room and could almost feel his intentions radiating off his person. Was he going to join them? Given Charles's stance on monogamy even just a day ago... she doubted this was a normal occurrence though she was quite sure that making an offering wasn't necessarily something to shun. She began to wonder if this was a distinctly human line of thinking... perhaps she'd have to ask one or more of her fathers for a clear answer.

Just the same, Ailen's withdrawal was seemingly a bit slow going even after he exited the womb of the girl in question. The gentle stroking of her lower back by Anais seemed to be about to shift as the movements of Ailen continued without full withdrawal. She wasn't jealous per se... she understood how ones desires played out in a single moment. "I think it should either be Nature since it it still on your mind or... elvish for Usa-chan if you don't plan to withdraw~" Anais teased slightly. Even so, she didn't necessarily want to wait forever for her own lesson to begin. "Nature for Mi-chan would be best I think," Usagi added figuring it would ease everyone to rotate a bit. As Anais thought over another tap to enforce her own desires... the statement that she looked a bit like her mother while smiling made her face shift greatly. "Do I?" she asked. She gave it a great deal of thought as she considered those words. She remembered the sound of her mother's voice as she said the words cutie and sweetie. She could... hear her being asked things... periodically as she grew up, but she couldn't for the life her her match a face to that voice. It was almost blurry to the point of sadness and frustration... but not the type she would share with others. "I... don't remember what she looked like. The words though... I can hear those, in her voice..." she mentioned. "Wait so do you also not know what you looked like either?" she asked of the girl seemingly concerned. "I remember being very small, but not really the details. I was pretty ordinary so I likely have a warped view of myself," she said as if she was detached from the subject. "Hoh? That's no good. I realize you've been here a long time much longer than our original lifespans were expected to be, but I guess this explains quite a bit. You weren't actually ordinary you know, just a little small. But that's okay, I know what it's like to feel like you'd forget and also to have a sort of terrible self-image," mentioned Usagi. Her hips were shifting gently, seemingly in response to Ailen's prodding, but she also leaned in to kiss Anais again, this time... she held fresh a memory of the girl's mom from what was just a few weeks prior when they'd gone to her house as a group. And while she kissed her friend, Anais's memory of her mother became so much clearer. In the space of her mind the top blew off a box not that she could visualize such a thing... no that was the domain of her inner selves to deal with and Sinais would do exactly that.

Ailen was having some difficulties yet again. There were more lectures to give, more lectures that would certainly be given, but also a struggle to actually remove himself from Usagi's nether. In the time of said struggle, Anais counted the viable steps during this session. Of course, she also mentioned the chance of him not removing himself. Usagi went on to make a firmer suggestion about offering Anais's nature-based lesson. That was an excellent idea; he even agreed wholeheartedly. "Hmm. That idea is very sound. With the residual information in mind presently, that would be the best course of action," he concurred. Ah, but there was still one blaring issue. Even when agreeing to that plan, he'd not yet pulled back. Usagi wasn't doing much to help either, as she was still moving against him. In due time, he did manage freedom... though only after putting himself in danger of reigniting a raging fire of his own loins. Even then, that last retreat was a slow one that he so obviously took the time to enjoy on purpose. "Yes, right. Apologies; I'm not sure I expected that sort of reaction."

All the while, Charlemagne was having milk for breakfast for the first time in... so many years. He already didn't expect to be capable of saying something like that ever again; the specifics of this drinking was completely unheard of. Liquid mana was pouring down his throat, tasting and acting of plum wine that intoxicated him by the moment. While his mouth drew from one breast, his hand began relentlessly groping the other. Blissfully ignorant as he'd been all this time, he remained unaware of Astolfo's presence even as the other male encroached upon the bed. Standing at its edge behind Sakura, he extended both arms with every intention of getting two heaping handfuls of that divine rump. If he had his way, he'd be molesting those cheeks with vigor, squeezing, spreading and generally admiring as he heavily considered joining an existing scandal.

It seemed that Ailen really did intend to remove himself from Usagi's core and actually give a lesson to Anais. Still it was a rather slow going process which Anais was distracted from a bit by her rather pushy friend. Though the pushes of her hips against Ailen were more reaction than purposeful, Usagi felt the elf's agonizingly slow withdrawal and also wondered if he intended to actually go along with her idea. "Are you sure?" she mused seeming to find it a bit funny. At the same time having pulled away from that kiss with Anais she watched as a single tear rolled down the elafia's face. A core memory seemed to have returned to her and that meant that Usagi's work was done. "Hey, none of that... you can't go from mature 300 backwards~" Usagi teased, but still she wiped the other girl's tear away and felt like she'd done something good for her friend. Perhaps she should remember to tell the girl to make herself a new avatar, it'd likely be easier for her to remember important details from her past, if she didn't stay within a single body for hundreds of years at a time. "Hoh? Seemed a bit indecisive for a moment there... Ai-aniki~" she added seeming to scoff at his apology understanding why he seemed to stricken. Saying no to darkness was difficult for many people she could only imagine what kind of strength of character the elafia was showing not to have caved and sought it out already. Anais for her part in this also didn't seem too upset about the continued dalliances of her mentor, she understood that this was likely difficult for him. She also had problems making choices so she wasn't going to judge him for it.

At the same time, Sakura soon had her personal space encroached upon. Whlle Charles enjoyed his breakfast Astolfo, made his way from his hidden chair perch and became a bit invasive as an individual. Sakura had no understanding of this addition to her morning and didn't know if this was normal for Charles or not... she was assuming it wasn't but the lad had approached with such seeming confidence that she didn't assume this was uncommon. As such her hips continued to move and her body would eventually find that rattlign sensation fairly close to her ending. It would be quite gratifying as she moved to ride through that explusion and tightening of her loins around Charles while he fed in a rather literal way.

Was Ailen sure? Mentally, yes. Physically however, it felt as if putting Usagi's session on hold was a terrible idea. The slow process of withdrawing was easily one of the top ten most pleasurable sensations he could recall in at least a thousand years, yet it was also quite terrible to know the end was near for a moment. His mana was even beginning to leak through toward the end, a consistent trickle leaving itself within Usagi and persisting as a prominent drip even after he was free of her clutches. Calling him indecisive didn't even begin to cover the truth of things. "I'm quite sure it was something far worse than indecision. Temptation may be too weak a word. I may well understand Miwa's struggles better than anyone else after that," he said with a sigh. Luckily, he managed to escape in the end. Anais would soon be able to receive her lesson, but Ailen hesitated still. He looked down, having second thoughts about this positioning. Would he be capable of delivering the lecture to its intended place with Usagi's backside staring up at him like that the entire time?

Ailen wasn't the only one having trouble with someone's ass. Astolfo could see the time of his ─ of anyone's ─ life right in front of him. Lucky, Lucky Charlemagne. That poor fool was swallowing the product of Sakura's teat, groping the other with one hand, and another hand was so stupidly holding her by the side. How could he be so wasteful? Great asses were to be squeezed, and this one had to be the definition of perfect! 'Astolfo to the rescue!' the pink-haired lad thought as he groped away at a magnificent pair of goddess cheeks. How satisfying. How life-changing! He couldn't even dare to think two hands were enough. Surely he could get away with more, no? 'Astolfo luck!' he chanted mentally, as if willing luck into existence. It only felt right that he treat such a magnificent curve with due respect... by spreading goddess cheeks and wedging his dick between them. How was Charlemagne letting himself miss out on this sort of debauchery?! It couldn't have been Astolfo!

Ailen had finally freed himself from Usagi bit it seemed he'd had quite the hard time. He was left hesitant even after his expulsion and Usagi understood why this was the case as she gave into darkness as a temptation immediately upon encountering it. Even now, she still didn't believe in truly stopping it when it appeared before her. "Ai-aniki is quite a strong person... doing way better about it than I do. Miwa-sama too~" she mused being rather honest. "Knees down, Mi-chan~" she commented. As such Anais lowered her own legs and left the other girl still split on her lap. She brought her own legs in and rolled with the other girl a few times giggling all the while. Until their bodies were entwined but left enough room for Ailen to have a seat beside them. Still both girls easily gestured for the man to take a seat as both thought about the nature of their next leg in this journey.

'Personally I think you should take this one of your own accord. I'm a bit interested in seeing how you broke this rather studious elf in the first place~' mentioned to Anais. Anais managed to look sheepishly down at her friend. 'I don't think I did anything worth watching...' mentioned Anais. 'Doesn't matter, half a show is confidence and you missy need to let that pushy inside voice be in charge of that~' Usagi countered. At the very least the inside one was sure she was breaking things. Going in with an attitude like that would be beneficial for balancing things out. 'Welp, you heard her! We're breaking in Shishou~' said Sinais, there was a very specific imagine in Anais's mind... one of her atop the man in question, facing him with her legs spread wide bouncing along as she pleased. "Hai hai~" that was all Anais had to say about it, while Usagi looked both pleased and a bit worried for Ailen's sake. Miko's natural state wasn't necessarily that of a showoff, and her current self was seeming much more insidious than a simply reactive individual. This really would be interesting to watch, she untangled their limbs and watched as the girl approached her mentor. 'I wonder how many it will take for that lesson to get where its going?'

Charles was devouring his breakfast in a way that few would have understood. Just the same Sakura was experiencing something quite odd. The lad Astolfo despite his girlish face and somewhat less than human demeanor seemed to be going about entering their morning exchange in a very human way. Sakura felt a strange amount of molestation to her rear. It wasn't as if she hadn't witnessed some odder things before, maybe humans just thought to worship godly bodies when they encountered them? 'Yes, that seems right...' the lass thought absently. Of course, her own hips were still moving and could easily be found adjusting for the intrusion though not in a truly accommodating way. No... her rocking would allow the lad wedged within her cheeks to experience the slick sensation of skin against skin while he groped and she rode Charles for the sake of their morning's happiness. Just the same, her back would arch a bit more intensely, eventually causing the lad to lose his full oral grip on that one breast while his hand was left on the other. In this case, Astolfo luck might have actually been on his side... as such maneuvering would leave him hotdogged between the lass's cheeks.

Surely both Ailen and Miwa did have an easier time resisting temptation than this girl. Just as demons possessed the power of temptation, it seemed demons and their ilk were also easily tempted to enjoy themselves. Ailen couldn't fault the lass for caving to Mugen easier, but he also could not take much credit for resisting after a long struggle. "I'm afraid I've done nothing worthy of note," he insisted, leaving it at that. The time for change came soon enough, beginning as Usagi facilitated a roll of both girls. By the end of their joint maneuver, Anais was atop the other lass, and their original space was left vacant... apparently for Ailen's use. Ah, this was good. If control of penetration was wrested from him, delivering knowledge unto the right person would be no issue. The when part, however, was in question as always, but that was mostly due to a certain habit of Anais when receiving his lectures. However long it took, Ailen was satisfied by the potential, and thus would be found taking a seat right where Anais's back was previously.

Meanwhile, Charlemagne was somewhere between death's door and the dawn of new life. Each experience with Sakura thus far seemed to awaken something that may not have originally belonged within him. It was something he'd been running from since before he even fell to Munetsuchi. How long had it been? There was no telling, really, but he was beginning to greet it as an old comrade-in-arms, taking it into battle somewhere deep inside the young goddess's body. Even as she leaned away from him and freed her bosom from his mouth's clutches, he marched onward spiritually. Actually... the most literal march was being organized in his loins at the time. A grand army of soldiers stood at attention within the barracks, awaiting a single command to engage the enemy. All the while, Astolfo flanked said enemy's dugout with his own arsenal at the ready. Nothing was better, warmer, and more inviting than this! With the widest of smiles on his face, Astolfo happily began stroking away at the flesh of Sakura's rear, seemingly in tandem with her movements against Charlemagne. How he managed to make such maneuvers in a way that didn't disturb the bed or alert Charlemagne, well... that was an Astolfo trade secret. Luck was indeed on his side thus far, but alas... Astolfo did always have a bad habit of pushing his luck. Time would tell if this was such a moment.
