It was surprisingly easy to blank out the ink from the magical pamphlets, expand them into a full sheet of paper, and then write on them. The contracts were fairly simple in terms and written in invisible ink. The perverted trio would trade their libidos, lust, and desire to get out of further detentions from me.
I added a visible caveat that they would also trade me any future magic potential they may have, with a promise to never bother the girls at school again, and they would receive what they currently valued the most. A porn magazine.
I opened up the top drawer of the teacher's desk and closed my eyes as I remembered an issue of Penthouse Magazine from years ago. Since I had imagination-based magic, I used some of it to temporarily give myself better recall of my memories, because I didn't have the magic reserves to make it permanent.
The magazine and its contents suddenly became clear in my head, even the ads it had in the back, and I created a copy of it out of one of the pamphlets. Unlike the local magazines, none of it was censored. It was full of college age beauties having a lot of fun during spring break and the quality was really high definition, since it wasn't limited in detail by being printed on a printing press.
The images were brilliantly clear and almost life-like, the writing was crisp and precise, and the occasional cartoon jokes almost leapt off the page. It was so good that I was tempted to keep it for myself.
Since I wanted to build anticipation from the Perverted Trio, I took the magazine from the drawer and carefully flipped through it, just to make sure there weren't any mistakes or missing pages. Three gasps came from the idiots and I sat there for the rest of the detention and made them sweat it out as they stared a hole through what I had in my hands.
When the hour was up, I carefully stood with the closed magazine in my hands. Their eyes followed it like a cat staring at a red laser light and I moved it slightly and their heads followed it religiously. I approached them and put the three contracts onto their desks.
“Agree to the terms written and sign this, and I'll give this magazine to the three of you.” I offered.
“DONE!” The three of them shouted, signed their names, and held their hands out like beggars.
I barely held back the shiver I felt from completing six deals as I handed them the magazine. They took it reverently and with awe, then they started going through it. I took the contracts and quickly left the trio of previous perverts alone, because I knew they would complain to me as they slowly realized they were not getting the enjoyment out of looking at the magazine like they thought they would.
My own libido was firing after the three fairly large transfers, including heavy doses of lust, and I was glad my black pants hid my rock hard erection. I could also feel my magic just shimmering on the edge of exploding out of me and just begging to be used. It took me a moment as I concentrated and calmed down both feelings and returned to the Student Council office.
My eyes met Sona's stern glare as soon as I stepped through the door and I gave her my best smile. It was the same one I had given her this morning when I woke up in her arms and she blushed when she saw it. Instead of saying anything to her, I walked around her desk and placed one of the contracts in front of her to let her examine it.
Both she and the other girls gasped at seeing a physical contract, willingly signed, and it was on a magically binding paper, too. I stood back by the wall and let the girls gather around Sona and they all read it. While they did that, I started prepping the tea to serve it to those that wanted it.
“They really signed this?” Tsubaki asked the room in surprise.
“Yes, Miss Shinra. I handed over a copy of a rare American magazine and they signed without pause.” I answered.
“That actually worked?” Sona asked and looked back at me. “You fed their addiction and they gave up their magic potential?”
“Since I knew they weren't going to read the contract, I verbally asked them to agree to the written terms.” I said and chuckled. “I probably could have stolen their souls right from under them and they wouldn't have noticed.”
The girls in the peerage let out little laughs and a couple of them nodded.
“Please don't do that. Soul bartering is illegal.” Sona said with a sigh. “I'll get in trouble if you do.”
“Of course, Shitori-san. Your loyal servant will refrain from fleecing the stupid and morally bankrupt. Somehow.” I said with a smile and the girls laughed again.
“They really would have still signed it, wouldn't they?” Momo asked and shook her head, her white hair cascading across her shoulders.
“Most definitely.” I said and Sona handed me the contract, which I tucked away behind my back under my suit coat. I would have to figure out how to make my own pocket space later when my conversion into a devil finished and I had full access to my magic. “I hope I didn't upset you too much with how I handled this.”
Sona gave me a searching look and a brief smile. “As long as you don't make a habit out of it.”
“As you command.” I said with a slight bow and had an errant thought. “I would like more pamphlets to play with, or perhaps someone to teach me how to make them?” I asked and Sona glanced at her Queen. “When it's convenient and no trouble, of course.”
“Of course.” Sona said and turned back to her desk to continue working. “When time permits.”
I finished making the tea and brought her a cup, prepared how she liked it, and she nodded and sipped it. I moved the documents she had finished aside and went through them. The order forms were gone, so I assumed she had handled them while I was handling the perverted trio, which was a relief.
The rest I sorted by priority, from immediate tasks and orders to be given, right down to normal administrative paperwork that only needed to be handed over to the school's principal. I finished with that and put them on the corner of her desk.
Sona glanced at me as I brought a cup of tea to Tsubaki and I did the same document check for her, then I took that stack and went to Sona's and rifled through them to put them together. I looked at the other desks and there were only a few sheets ready on each of them, so I checked them and saw they were done and added them to the right spots in the stack.
“I'll drop these off at the principal's office and will wait for confirmation of receipt from his secretary after she checks them.” I said and gave Sona a slight bow before I left the student council's office.

“For an old guy, he can move pretty fast.” Momo commented a second after the office door shut.
“He's efficient, too.” Tsubaki said. “I don't think I've ever sorted our separate stacks together that fast.”
“Nor have I.” Sona said, her mind lingering on the man that had suddenly entered her life.
“And you said he's living with you?” Tomoe asked and Sona nodded. “It must be nice to have a live-in butler to take care of all your needs.”
Sona almost succeeded in fighting off her blush as she remembered him suckling on her nipples.
“Oho.” Tomoe said and let out a little laugh. “What needs are you thinking of, president?”
“N-nothing.” Sona said and ducked her head slightly to keep working.
If the other girls had looked, they would have seen a blush on her Queen's face, too.

“This isn't as exciting as I thought it would be.” Issei said as he flipped through the magazine and saw two people having sex. He wasn't sure why he wasn't getting off on seeing actual penetration when it was barely hinted at in the local magazines and it was blurred or blocked when it was shown. Maybe he was feeling a bit sick or something?
“Yeah, it's just not the same.” Glasses guy said. “At least her breasts are natural and not fake.”
“It's getting late.” Shaved head guy said. “Do you guys want to go peek at the Kendo club showering? They should be done about now, right?”
“Naw.” “Nah.” Issei and Glasses guy said at the same time.
“I'm heading home. See you guys later.” Issei said and tossed the boring magazine onto the desk and left the room. He went to his locker, changed his shoes, and left the school. The walk home was the same as always and he didn't meet anyone he knew or see anyone important along the way, and arrived home. He greeted his mother, lied about having to stay for a school project, and went up to his room.
Issei's eyes went around his room and it just didn't excite him like it usually did. Despite how hard he worked to get every piece of hentai memorabilia and figurines he had, they just didn't appeal to him. He sat as his computer and turned it on, then realized he really had nothing he wanted to look for. Instead of spending hours looking at and downloading porn pictures, he just didn't feel like it today.
He turned the computer off and stripped off his uniform, hung it up, and sat on his bed in just his underwear. His eyes saw the jar of lube and the box of tissues on his nightstand and he sighed, not feeling in the mood at all. He laid down on his bed and stared up at the ceiling as his mind went over what he could do.
After several long silent minutes, Issei realized something important. If he wasn't obsessing over porn, or figuring out how to get more of it, he had absolutely nothing else to occupy his time. Not a thing. Issei let out a sigh and sat up and looked at his discarded backpack, shrugged, and went back over to his desk to start on his homework. He had nothing else he had to do and might as well do that.

“Damn.” Rias said after Sona told her what her new butler and Peerage member had done.
“It's iron clad, too. I checked it with magic.” Sona said and sipped the tea Akeno had served her. It was usually great and she wasn't sure why it didn't taste as good as what Alex had served her. He hadn't done anything special to it, either. She would have felt the magic in it if he had.
“Does Hyoudou still have his sacred gear?” Akeno asked.
“The smell is reduced.” Koneko said and nibbled on a cookie. She had been sitting in the tree by the gate when Issei had left the school.
Rias sighed. “Then he's even further away from awakening it, whatever it is.”
Sona thought about not saying anything, and sighed. Despite her behavior, Rias was still her friend. “He might never activate it if he gave away his future magic potential.”
“WHAT?” Rias yelled and Koneko hissed and covered her ears. “I'm sorry, Koneko.”
The white-haired catgirl gave her a dead-eye stare and then went back to eating her cookie. It had only dropped to her lap, so it was still good.
“It was a great way to word the contract and he had them verbally agree to the written terms. That was an ingenious way to warn them that if they didn't read it, he wasn't responsible if they regretted it afterwards.” Sona said with approval and some admiration in her voice. It had been quite devilish of him to trick them so easily like that.
Rias sighed and leaned back on the couch as she thought about the problem and how to fix it. “Do you think your butler would consider...”
“No.” Sona said and cut her off before she asked something so stupid. “No devil would cancel a contract after it was already completed.”
Rias crossed her arms and pouted as she humphed and turned her head away.
“It's your move next.” Sona prompted and put her tea down.
“I concede.” Rias said and flicked her finger at the chess board and her king fell over.
Sona sighed and gathered up the pieces and packed it away. “Have a good evening, Rias.” She said and stood with the chessboard under her arm, then nodded at the other two girls in the room. “Akeno, Koneko.”
Akeno nodded back and Koneko gave her a little wave. Rias watched Sona leave and she didn't want that to be the end of it. That man had taken what was hers and she wanted it back. No, she needed it back. She glanced at her Queen and gave her a significant look. Akeno let out her signature teasing laugh and nodded before she gathered up the barely drunk tea and followed Sona out of the room.
“Mistake.” Koneko said and licked the crumbs off of her hands.
Rias gave her a sad look. “I can't give up, Koneko. I need Issei at his full potential to reincarnate him.”
Koneko tilted her head at her King. “He's cheaper now. What if you fix it later?”
Rias shook her head. “The piece value spell won't work right if his magic has been tampered with. If I resurrect Issei with only a pawn or two, as if he was a normal human, his power won't be able to expand past those parameters if we fix his magic potential after he's already a reincarnated devil.”
Koneko shrugged. If his magic was that weak before he gave it away, why bother getting it back? It didn't make any sense to her. She left the room to go to bed and tried to put it out of her mind. When her head hit the pillow, she made the connection between Rias reincarnating one human that she immediately traded to Sona and that Pawn then took the magic of the person Rias really wanted to reincarnate.
A smile appeared on Koneko's face at the irony and she fell asleep with the thought that Sona's new Pawn had already disproved what Rias had claimed. His magic potential had increased past what little he gained from being reincarnated as a Devil.

Sona formed the teleportation circle and it took myself and her Queen back to her large house. We landed in the lobby and the deliveries were there waiting for us. I quickly sorted out what was for the school's break room and what was for use at the mansion.
“Alex.” Sona said and I turned to give her a happy smile. She gave me a searching look and her Queen put a hand on her arm. “All right, I won't say anything further about this.”
I knew what she was referring to, which was me assigning myself the actual duties as her butler. I stepped close to her and looked into her eyes, then I gave her a very chaste kiss on the lips. Her blush was pretty bright and Tsubaki looked a little jealous.
“Thank you for letting me take care of you.” I said and Sona nodded. I stepped in front of Tsubaki next and she was blushing before I did anything. I gave her a warm smile and leaned in for a kiss, which she reciprocated and added a little tongue as well. “I'll have supper ready in an hour.”
“Thank you.” Sona said and Tsubaki nodded.
“It's the least I can do, my King.” I said and bowed to her. “You have been very accepting of me and I appreciate the chance to prove myself useful to you and your peerage.”
Sona looked slightly embarrassed before she could school her face. “You are doing more than I ever thought you would... or could.” She admitted and looked away from me.
I reached out and cupped the side of her face to turn her head back to face me. “I'm yours now, Sona.” I said, dropping both the honorifics and the bowing. “No matter how it came about. It doesn't matter if it was only to help your friend or because you felt sorry for me.” I said and caressed her cheek. “I promise you that you will never regret accepting me into your life.”
Sona's face couldn't get any redder if she tried.
“I'll have tea set up in the sitting room in ten minutes.” I said and let her face go. “Tsubaki, do you have any preferences for side dishes at supper?”
Tsubaki shook her head. “Whatever you chose is fine with me.”
I smiled and looked back at Sona. “As for dessert?”
“Parfaits, please.” Sona said. “With extra whipped cream.”
I chuckled and bowed slightly. “As my King commands, it shall be so.”
Tsubaki looked amused and took Sona's hand. “We do have some household paperwork to handle in the meantime.”
“Ah, we do. Thank you for reminding me.” Sona said, looking relieved. “Alex, we will see you at supper.” She said and then gave me a pointed look. “You will be eating with us.”
I nodded acceptance and she nodded back. I watched the two young women walk away and tried to not stare at their short skirts that barely hid their panties from view. Whoever designed the girl's uniform deserved a medal, because none of the girls protested how revealing they were or bothered to wear shorts or even pantyhose under them.
God bless... owww. I thought and rubbed my forehead. I picked up the first two boxes of supplies and carried them part of the way across the mansion and into the kitchen. I really should mention hiring someone like a maid or something, just to keep the other household duties taken care of while I did the more important things.
I prepped the tea and sweets that Sona and Tsubaki liked and carried them into the sitting room. The two young women were sitting at the large oak desk going over several pages of documents. I did not let it show on my face that I had thought they were using that as an excuse to get away from me as I placed the tea service set on the side table.
“Would you prefer to serve yourselves or would you like me to stay at hand?” I asked them.
Sona actually looked grateful at being given the option. “We can handle it ourselves, Alex. Thank you.”
I bowed slightly and left the room. I had two special dishes to prepare for my King and Queen and I was looking forward to the challenge. I was also grateful that Sona had quadrupled the supplies we had discussed at school that day and I could experiment a little and not have to worry about running out of ingredients.
The joys of cooking would bring me that much closer to both young women and I looked forward to seeing their pleased smiles as they ate. Was I being overconfident about my cooking skills? Not really. Devils could pretty much eat anything they wanted, thanks to gluttony, so all I had to do was make sure the food was a little more tasty than usual and it would make them happy. It worked for the tea, after all.
