DxD: A World Where T*tties Defy Gravity [ Chapter 58: Previous Rating Games! ] (Patreon)

"I've been told." Rias replied, as she walked over to Palutena, shed her towel, revealling her naked body and sat next to her. "Wait, Rex has a lab?"

"He does." Palutena replied. "He doesn't use it often, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have an appreciation for science. You know he managed to create a special sun cream for vampires that protects them from sunlight?"

"He did?" Rias widened her eyes. "That's impressive. Don't vampires die when in direct sunlight?"

"In most cases, yes." Palutena replied. "Vampires of a transcendent strength, like Carmilla, Orpheus Tepes and Alucard, are entirely immune to sunlight, as are Dhampirs, aka Hybrids between Vampires and another species, such as Devils. Though I am told that a Dhampir going into direct sunlight does cause discomfort."

Rias gave a slight start at that particular mention. Palutena ignored her.

"However, when a pure-blooded Vampire goes into sunlight, and never goes back into the darkness again, they will expire after a time." She replied. "As far as I know, Low-Class Vampires die within several hours, Mid-Class Vampires can take up to a day to die, High-Class Vamipres have been known to stay out in sunlight for weeks, while Ultimate-Class Vampires, like Akasha, can stay in the blazing hot sun, like this Greek sun, for months on end. That answer your question?"

"Yes." Rias replied. "Though something like that would be worth it... I dunno..."

"Thousands, if not tens of thousands, of whatever world currency you wish?" Palutena asked, smartly. "Yeah. However, Rex doesn't have any desire to sell it to the Vampires, as he knows full-well that the higher-class of the species would never accept it, and the lower-class of the species can't afford to take it. That, and there's only one Vampire who he'd trust to let us use it."

"Akasha?" Rias asked.

"Right in one, sexy." Palutena replied, grinning, as Rias blushed. "Anyway, back on topic, why'd you come asking after my husband, anyway?"

"I..." Rias began to say something, but trailed off. Palutena raised an eyebrow when Rias shot nervous looks at Palutena before focusing on the water below her.

"Wait a minute. I know that look on your face, and the way you're acting. I've seen it time and time again, with Penemue, with Valian, with Akeno, with Akasha, with Kuroka, and even Asia... you fancy Rex, don't you?"

Rias' face, which was already pink, slowly turned as red as her hair.

"Y-yes." She whispered.

"My, my." Palutena grinned. "Beneath that mature and high-class woman is a kinky little aunt who loves her nephew. Who'd have known?" She giggled at the look on Rias' face.

"You're not upset?" Rias asked. Palutena stopped giggling after a second, and turned to her.

"Why would I be?" She asked, blinking. "Why should I be upset with a woman, a damn sexy one, by the way, who just confessed their feelings for a man that they like?"

"Well, you're his wife!" Rias replied. "He's married to you, the daughter of the Goddess of Marriage. Wouldn't you feel at the very least a little pissed-off that your aunt-in-law has feelings for your husband, or even, that your husband has lovers other than yourself?"

Palutena blinked again, before she replied, in a rather softer tone than before.

"Rias." She spoke. "Let me clear a couple of things up first. My mother may be the Goddess of Marriage, and the being who most humans think of when they think of a marriage deity, but the thing is, Hera... represents the possessiveness a wife has for her husband, which is why, so I've heard from Aphrodite, my great-aunt, Hera is such a colossal bitch to all of Zeus' other lovers, and by extension, the offspring of such infidelity. However... oh, excuse me." Palutena gave a yawn, and continued talking.

"I guess you could say that I represent the 'trust between two married partners' part of marriage, given that I trust- no, I know that Rex loved, still loves, and will continue to love me, despite having lovers other than me. Get what I mean, Rias?" Palutena asked, turning to Rias. 

"So now do you see why I'm not upset with you, for just having feelings for Rex?"

"Y-yes, of course." Rias replied. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude."

"Oh, that's alright." Palutena replied, waving off the apology. "You'd be surprised how often I get it. Anyway" her smile became slightly... naughtier. "Do tell. Have you any particularly sexy fantasies involving Rex? You don't have to be embarrassed, I've heard pretty much everything. From Penemue and Akeno alone."

"Well, sorry to disappoint." Rias replied, becoming slightly more confident in how she talked, knowing that she was at ease. "I don't have many things in particular... kinky, fantasies about Rex. I was never really that type of person."

"Oh, well." Palutena shrugged. "I guess an aunt wanting to either bone, or get boned by, her nephew is kinky enough."

As Palutena shifted her body so she sat in the water, submerging herself for a second, before coming up again and sitting beside Rias, her voluptuous body glistening from the reflection of being entirely wet, she spoke again, asking Rias directly.

"Well, anyway. Why do you have feelings for Rex, Rias?"

"I love his personality." Rias replied, almost instantly. "From when I've been around him, I've seen that no matter how many women are in his life, he cares about them all equally, apart from you, possibly-"

"Thank you." Palutena muttered.

"-and I really admire that." Rias replied. "It's so different from Riser, the person who I and my peerage are being trained to fight, who doesn't care a bit about the women who he loves, or claims to love. And now I'm engaged to him, and I'm certain that if I get married to him, I won't even have any standing above all his other whores, like his half-Succubus Queen, two of his Pawns who are Nekomata sisters... you get the idea."

"I do." Palutena replied. "I've watched Riser and his peerage in DVDs of Rating Games."
