Harem Reborn

Chapter 35: Crystalized Memories

"THUMP, THUMP"

Time stopped again, as it had with Victoria, but this time it was different. I opened my eyes to a younger version of the crystalline female in the flesh. She was reaching up to me with a smile, and I grabbed...

"THUMP, THUMP"

I was riding horseback through the woods. This girl was older now, but still the same, and she sat in front of me. Yells came from behind us, and I turned my head to see Knights with a red banner chasing after us, screaming, "get the lady..."

"THUMP, THUMP"

I was moving. I opened my eyes to her face, and she wore a white dress. My right arm wrapped tighter around her waist as I held her close, while my other handheld hers tight. Our eyes locked together as we danced, and we shared a moment that had already passed.

"THUMP, THUMP"

She lay dying in my arms, gasping for air. The puncture hole from the blaster ripped the air into the vacuum of space. Gantry, Vassal of Fate, had found them. The mistake I had made cost everyone their lives, and we were the last alive in the vacuum of space. She reaches for me as the tears froze to her face, and I cried out.

"THUMP, THUMP"

"Irellia!"

My eyes snapped open, and I gasped deeply for sweet air. I rolled, now on the ground, coughing and wheezing, opening my eyes to Victoria and...Irellia? My mind still muddled with all the information, I tried to sit up, and both girls helped me.

"Are you ok, Dave? Victoria asked me while she helped me up to my feet.

"I think so," I say as I grip my head and Victoria's arm before looking up at the crystallized version of that girl, Irellia. "It looks like another person I have known has shown up. How long was I out for?"

"About five minutes. Do you know who I am?" Irellia asked me, stepping back some.

I paused to look at her and then stepped towards Irellia, taking her hand. I looked into her get filled eyes. Behind us, Tenten and Victoria were sputtering in confusion, both releasing sparks for different reasons.

"I remember you reaching out, running away, the dance, and the..." My voice trailed off as I touched the surprisingly smooth and soft surface of her cheek.

"At least you have that much," Irellia said, stepping back. "Seems some of us will always be glued to his side." The last part told while looking over my shoulder.

"Well, master, What will it take to get you to part with this rapier?"

"Hmmm? That you can have it if you tell me what you plan on doing about fate and the demon attached to him?"

"Grasmald? He fused with Biford?"

"Yes, as far as my people know, only his household demons have been let loose. He has collected dangerous people to take the demons in. What do you plan on doing about it?"

"We only have one demon left in our household that has a chance of escaping. After that, we plan to convince other noble houses to get rid of their demons without Grismald getting to them first. Our biggest problem lay with convincing the other house and getting Miss Grace out of jail at the end of the next week."

"Well, I might be able to help with Grace. That will be the easy part, but convincing the nobles will be something we will need Grace and her father for."

"Miss Grace's father?"

"Yes, Duke Vistorm, of Vistorm Banking. Apart from being the largest bank on all Noble and Celestial levels, Duke Vistorm funds many of the Highmage Councils projects. The biggest thing is that he doesn't know his daughter is the lowest dungeon pit of the mage councils dungeon. I'm sure you don't need you to use your imagination too much to think what Duke Vistorm will do when he finds out."

"True, so we have a deal then?" I asked.

"One more thing," and Irellia leaned in and gave me a soft kiss on the lips that left me with a half kindled fire.

I turned to Victoria and Tenten, but Victoria looked away. I began to say something, but I noticed Irellia put up a hand.

"Go ahead with Tenten, Dave. Tenten, find Dave something nice, but not so dangerous to him and the health of the others around him."

"Alright! So no Ion Glass Cannons, or Damage Absorbing Armor, or Rotating Glass Blades of Doom?" Tenten was already out of the room, and I followed.

Tenten took me back to the display room and scanned me up and down, then came over to look at my armband shield. The TV looked at it from a couple of angles and then sped off the look for something without speaking. Soon it came back with something that looked like a melted piece of glass, but Tenten hands it to me with a big digital smile on its face.

"This Augmensive Glass! Hold it up, and your shield will absorb it. This blob of shapeless glass will give spikes like ice on the shield's smooth surface. Talk about giving them the stiff and pointy one!" Tenten joked.

"That's actually pretty cool, Tenten, thanks!"

"Awe, boss, you know the master, so I have to be nice to you. Plus, I don't get many visitors!"

Just then, Victoria came back into the room carrying her new sword in an over the shoulder sheath. When I saw her, Victoria had a more relaxed expression than the last time I had seen her, back in Irellia's room. Hopefully, whatever they talked about smoothed things over.

Tenten led us to the elevator, and we both waved goodbye as I pressed the button to go up. Both of us stood a bit awkward as the elevator rose, but suddenly, the car stopped moving. I looked to Victoria, but she was clearly putting on a fake expression of surprise.

"Oh no, what do we do? We are all alone in an elevator, stuck with no way to get help." Victoria tried to use a flirtatious voice, but I ended up laughing instead.

Victoria tried to frown at me, but I closed the distance between us and scooped her up off her feet. She let out a squeak, and I turned my back to the corner, sliding down, with her in my arms. Victoria had her arms around my neck by the time we had slid down.

"Took you long enough," Victoria murmured as she pulled my face to her and our lips touched as we enjoy our break from the world.

(Lavender and Iona after gelato)

"NYO! Yooo made me EAT TO MUCH!" The alien and demon sounds coming from the bloated blonde loli started to scare passing people and potential customers, so Lavender and Iona were kicked out of the Gelato shop. Iona complained the entire way back, and Lavender scolded her about ordering too much. To the average onlooker, it was a perfect picture of mother and daughter.

By the time they had got back to Darbon's Smithy, the sun was already going down. Tilly was waiting for the girls at the front of the stall. She held three almost reflective, small syringes out to Iona.

She took them from Tilly in confusion at first, but then Iona realized what they were. Iona screwed up her face but both, Lavender and Tilly could see the tears that she wiped. Iona turned and started walking back towards the house.

"Thank you," came out in a small voice as Iona walked away.

(Back at the house in Dave's room after everyone had eaten)

"So that's the plan then? And we are all in agreeance? At least as much as we can be before getting in there, right?"

"I think we have talked this thing to death already and today was mentally exhausting, so I think I will be going to bed. Vic and Tilly, do you want to walk me to my room? Iona and Dave have something they need to deal with, right?"

The girls all agreed, leaving Iona and I in my room alone, sitting on my bed in our pajamas. The one-meter syringe lay between us, and I took a deep breath before speaking.

"Are you ready?"

"Why are you asking me? You the one about to eat a demon!"

"Good point," I laughed as Iona looked at me nervously. "I have a question before we start. When Tilly and I fought the snake demon, it said something about not using the power I had or controlling the demons. Do you know what it was talking about?"

"Hmm? I think the problem is your level, tomorrow I can show you what I know, but you shouldn't try to use it on something like Nemicoramus. At least not without mastering it first."

"That is a very good point. Well? shall we?"

Iona picked the syringe and placed the tip in my mouth. As she pumped the black and ever-moving contents into me, something different started to take me over. Gone was the pain and loneliness. Instead, my body started to heat up. When Iona finished, she looked and me curiously, my body red from the heat and practically panting.

Iona got up and locked the door, and then she changed. The cute loli, long gone, replaced with a goddess's curvy body, the nighty she had worn before barely covered. The lust and need boiled into me from the demon succubus poison as the older Iona seductively walked towards me.

"This will be our little secret," Iona whispered to me as she blew the candle out and crawled into the bed with me.

A new scar burned into my chest as our bodies connected. I moved her body are so she was on her knees and I moved behind her, pulling her pink panties aside thrusting my tongue deep inside her dripping wet slit. Iona let out a cry of pleasure as I moved my tongue inside of her body with force. she tried to pull away panting in ecstasy, but I grabbed her hips, forcing her into my tongue that lashed her throbbing pussy.

Suddenly, Iona cried out and a warm gush over her sweet juices flowed over my face. I could feel her body tremble and shake as I took away my face, while still holding her hips. My throbbing erection pulsed as I moved it closer to Iona dripping hole.

"Please, Dave, I need...ahhh!"

I didn't let her finished as I drove my rock hard shaft into wet flesh and she cried out in ecstasy again. I grabbed her hair and brought her body up against mine, grabbing her breasts as I slid in and out, feeling her juices leaking down my shaft. I kissed her neck and bite her ear lobes, while toying with her erect nipples, making her moan with pleasure.

"Dave, it feels so big right now! I think I'm going cum again...ahhhhh!"

I sped up as she cried the words to me and I could feel the pressure building inside. As I felt her flesh tightening around me I ejaculated into Iona and her body shook violently as she lay her head back on me with our final strokes. Iona eyes rolled around in her head as I finally pulled out and she had a smile of dizziness on her sweat covered face.

Our connection had lasted long after the poison of the demon had been absorbed.
