Chapter 649 - 649: [649] : Mother and Daughter Together, Of Course

The perspective returned to Gremory Castle.

On the upper floors, Rias—who had returned to her bedroom—sat alone at the edge of her bed, gazing absently at the window ahead. Through the evening gloom, she stared at her reflection in the glass, then let out a soft sigh.

By now, Mom was probably downstairs disguised as her, having the time of her life with Bokue and the others.

Well, she didn't even need to guess. That was definitely the case.

Ever since Mom had revealed everything last week, Rias had frequently been pulled into "parent-child bonding sessions" with Bokue alongside her mother. During those sessions, they'd done things that shouldn't be done, things that should be done... no wait, none of it should have been done.

In any case, they'd explored practically every possibility. This had drastically expanded Rias's understanding of her own mother.

At the very least, she'd never imagined her mother could make those expressions, say those things, or perform moves that even Rias herself had never attempted.

After a week of adjustment, Rias could now perfectly imagine the scene unfolding in the bath downstairs—even without hearing a single sound.

Speaking of which... nothing would go wrong, right?

The more she thought about it, the more worried Rias became.

After all, everyone who'd come to the Underworld this time knew each other extremely well. Akeno and Koneko especially had been her closest sisters and companions for years. The moment she showed any irregularity, they'd notice immediately—let alone if someone was impersonating her.

Even transformation magic couldn't fully disguise that.

But then again, Mom's behavior this time was strange to begin with. Why had she suddenly decided to disguise herself as Rias and join Akeno and the others?

She'd said it was for the thrill, and had assured Rias multiple times that she absolutely wouldn't be discovered.

But what if she actually was discovered...?

Wait—??

As if suddenly realizing something, Rias sharply inhaled. The flaxen-colored hair she'd been idly twirling between her fingers was suddenly gripped tight.

She suddenly recalled the incident with the magic mirror in Mom's room at the beachside villa.

At the time, Rias had assumed she'd discovered it by accident. But afterward, she'd learned that Mom had intentionally let her find it.

What if this was the same situation?

On the surface, it was supposedly for the thrill. But in reality, she wanted Akeno and the others to discover the secret.

If that was the case...

Whoosh!

Unable to sit still any longer, Rias shot up from the bed. She'd barely taken one step before forcing herself to stop.

No—she couldn't go!

By now, things had definitely already started in the bath. If she showed up now, anyone with half a brain would find it suspicious.

Which meant all she could do was wait here...

In less than two seconds of racing thoughts, Rias forced herself to sit back down on the bed's edge. She took a deep breath to calm her anxious heart.

Mom... please don't blow your cover.

❁❁❁❁

And so, while Rias was desperately praying upstairs, she had no idea that down in the bath, Venelana had already completely dropped the act.

"Mm... AHHH!!"

At the edge of the bath, Venelana was being held tightly from behind by Bokue, who was thrusting into her vigorously.

The head of his shaft pressed firmly against her cervix.

Her already ample rear clapped loudly with each impact.

As for what couldn't fit inside—thick white fluid continuously overflowed from their union.

Under the watchful eyes of the other girls around them, Venelana finally reached climax.

"Pff... cough cough... ngh..."

Losing all strength, Venelana instantly went limp.

She collapsed loosely against the young man's chest, lips parted as she panted heavily.

Her lower abdomen—having been filled multiple times—now showed a visible bulge.

The entire sequence had unfolded in mere seconds. And what Venelana had inadvertently cried out at the peak of her climax was so shocking that the other girls in the bath still hadn't fully processed it.

But they didn't need to wait for that. The next second, the elegant woman's crimson hair—dyed with transformation magic—began to fade, starting from the tips and gradually returning to its original flaxen color all the way up to the roots.

The transformation magic had failed at this exact moment.

"Oh...?"

Bokue raised an eyebrow in surprise.

He hadn't expected this to happen at all. He was about to raise his hand to help cover for Venelana, but the elegant woman in his arms smiled and gently stopped him.

Venelana—forehead to collarbone glistening with perspiration—wore an expression of slight exhaustion but immense satisfaction as she slowly sat up. She turned to survey the other girls around the bath, then let out a somewhat helpless smile.

"Oh my~ I've been found out after all. I was hoping to hold out for at least another hour, but I only lasted half an hour before being exposed. Our Bokue really is something else."

"Lady Venelana..."

"...?"

As the elegant woman's true identity was revealed, the girls in the bath displayed varying degrees of shock.

Koneko was the type who had absolutely no idea. Seeing Venelana suddenly drop her disguise, she completely froze on the spot like a statue.

Asia was surprised too, but since she'd already learned about this back at the vacation island, she was mainly shocked that Venelana had actually gone through with it.

As for Akeno... she wasn't too surprised. She'd already had her suspicions while undressing earlier. This merely confirmed her theory.

But in that case—

"Wait—then the Lady Venelana we saw at the bathroom door earlier was actually...?"

"That's right~ That was Rias in disguise."

Venelana smiled and nodded, confirming her suspicion.

Akeno's brain completely short-circuited.

If the Venelana they'd seen earlier was actually Rias in disguise, that meant Rias not only knew about this—she'd agreed to go along with Lady Venelana's scheme.

Wha... what...??

"Well, that's basically the situation~"

Venelana gave a cute smile, then turned to the young man whose arms were still wrapped around her waist.

"Say, Bokue—since we've been discovered anyway, why don't you bring Rias over too?"

"No problem."

Bokue raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The next instant, the crimson-haired girl—who had been agonizing alone in her room—suddenly appeared in his arms.

"Huh? What? Wh-where is this??"

Rias didn't register what had happened at first. It wasn't until she noticed the change in scenery and felt the warm bathwater beneath her that she snapped back to reality.

She whipped her head around like she'd been shocked, staring at the elegant woman beside her who had already dropped her disguise.

"M-Mom??"

"Hehe, sorry, Rias—Mommy accidentally got caught after all."

Venelana smiled softly, leaning in to gently caress her daughter's cheek.

"But since things have already turned out this way, there's nothing we can do about it now. Why don't we all... properly celebrate together tonight~"
