Hey guys, Striker777 here with the next chapter of Loki's Renard. I want to take a moment to thank everyone who voted, but it has come to a close. And the winner, with 12-9 votes is Liliruca Arde. She will be introduced in the next chapter, which will come out after my four weeks of training.

Guest: ... Damnit I forgot Bell's Minotaur Incident had a red minotaur. No way a level one could do that... I'll need to think of something else, thanks for pointing that out to me.

BrimazKing: Thanks man, I hope you enjoy the chapter and the upcoming holidays.

Until then, enjoy this last chapter. Now, onto the story!

Akihide looked around the area he found himself in, relatively sure he was safe for the time being as he slashed at the Dungeon wall with Breath of Hachiman, preventing monsters from spawning until the Dungeon fixed the damage. He collapsed to the floor and allowed himself a moment to breath and collect his thoughts.

He was exhausted, but quickly realised the severity of his situation. A fresh level 2 adventurer, without a single stat above 0 to his name, was all alone on Floor 15 with a murderous Blood Minotaur somewhere on the same floor as him. Not only that, but Floor 15 was much more swarmed with monsters than Floor 12, which is as far as he ever got as a solo adventurer when he went to Rank Up.

All in all, the situation was abysmal at best. Without any support, he was stuck all alone on Floor 15. He knew his allies were below him, having fallen victim to a 'Shattered Shaft', a horrible trap the Dungeon pulls on Adventurers, where the falling stones from the spawning of Bad Bats causes holes between Floors 15, 16 and 17 to open up and swallow parties whole. It was a horrible and potentially deadly situation to find yourself in.

Not like his situation was much better.

Akihide thought for a moment, weighing up his options. 'Do I want to make a break for the surface, or do I try to get back to the others?' he thought, looking down two paths. He was in unfamiliar territory, with no way of knowing where he was as Remilia had been holding their map when she fell with the others, so until Akihide ran into a similar room or something, he was completely lost, not that he had been to Floor 15 much. Even if he found his way back onto the main path, it would be entirely possible for him to completely miss that crucial information on account of his inexperience. Maybe if he found another party of adventurers, he could make his way back up or down with their help.

Or there was a third option, run around Floor 15 avoiding any and all fights possible, and wait for rescue. The others that fell through the Shattered Shaft would either make their way back to Floor 15 to try and help him, or head down to Floor 18 first to gather reinforcements. Either way, they were coming, so it would be best to try and remain near areas he knew they would come, whether that was to kill the Minotaur with reinforcements or get him out of there as quickly as possible.

"That's the plan then..." he muttered, fortifying his decision in his head. "Keep your head on a swivel, look at everything, avoid fighting if at all possible..." he continued, psyching himself up as he looked at the tunnel he had not gone down yet, leading away from where he left the Minotaur.

Best route out of all of them.

He looked down the tunnel and began to run, looking to put as much distance between himself and the Minotaur as possible.

Kaguya groaned as she looked around her. 'Shattered Shaft' she thought, eyes looking at the collection of people and rubble around her. She stood up, getting a better view for their situation. Alise was fine, that was good, but the same couldn't be said for all the others. Lloyd had a stone on top of his leg, the limb most likely broken, Sharon having the same issue with her arms. Liza was bleeding from the head, most likely from a falling piece of rubble that had cut her on the way down. Other than that, the Loki Familia seemed relatively unharmed.

But then there was the elf they had met on Floor 15.

His body laying limply on the ground, his head crushed under a rock and blood splattered on the ground under him.

He was dead.

Kaguya worked her way over to Alice, noticing her ankle was twisted as she put weight on it. "Dumbass Captain, wake up." she said, shaking the red headed girl. Her Captain awoke, eyes wide, clearly remembering their situation and acting accordingly. She looked around herself, eyes laid on the elf, and she threw up. Kaguya patted her back before walking over to the others, waking Remilia, Cynthia and Kalos up first, before they moved onto the others, using potions to fix their injuries as best as they could before waking them up.

However, Lloyd's leg couldn't be fixed with the minor potions they had left, so they made him a splint and Liza volunteered to carry him the rest of the way. However, during all of this, they noticed one, crucial detail.

Akihide was not with them.

They immediately knew he was still stuck on Floor 15, and they immediately started to plan. "Floor 18 is our immediate goal." groaned out Lloyd, much to the protest of many members of the group. "I know it sounds bad, but neither Sharon or I are going to be any help like this, and we're just going to slow anyone down who tries to get to Floor 15. We head back to Floor 18, gather reinforcements, and take down that Minotaur."

"We're definitely on Floor 17..." muttered Sharon, groaning through the pain of her broken arms, placed in slings. "Noir had a training session down this tunnel last year. I know how to get back to the main route from here, it's not that far."

"After that, drop Sharon, Liza and I off at camp and gather all forces from Rivira you can, gather a hunting party and take down that monster. We'll just have to trust in Akihide's survival instincts until we can get there." he said, looking down the tunnel that lead to the main route. "I have faith that Akihide can survive on his own for an hour. We'll have to be quick, but I reckon he can do it. We just need to have some faith in him."

The others looked down, but nodded. This was the safest bet, the best option they could pick.

But why did it feel like they were making a horrible mistake.

Liza got up, pulling Lloyd up with her, who gasped and groaned in pain as his broken legs were moved. "We should hurry up and move. Avoid fight for as long as possible, and make sure we're moving as efficiently as possible." he ordered, rallying the party to follow him down to Floor 18.

Kaguya spared a single glance up the hole they had fallen down. "Stay safe..." she muttered, not that anyone heard her, as she ran down the corridor, eager to get to Floor 18 as quickly as possible.

Akihide was not fine, as he ran around a corner just as a Liger Fang jumped out at him, impacting on the wall of Floor 15 and leaving behind a massive crater, damaging the Dungeon as the tiger monster hunted it's prey. Akihide teleported to the end of the corridor, but the Liger Fangs continued to pursue, jumping down the corridors of Floor 15, chasing the scared boy.

Akihide was beginning to tire, as he looked ahead, finding another fork in the road, with three separate exits. Akihide panicked, and chose the closest one, rushing down the corridor like a bat out of hell, teleporting all the way he could to increase the distance and hopefully lose the two monsters in the confusion.

The Liger Fangs remained on him as he ran down the corridor, and came across a trio of Hellhounds halfway down the corridor. Not having any time to play around, Akihide teleported behind the Hellhounds and then a second time to the end of the corridor to continue his attempt at escape. The dog monsters had no time to react as the Liger Fangs came barrelling down from the other end of the corridor and crushed all in their way, including the Hellhounds, who burst into black ash as their magic stones were crushed.

Akihide didn't care about that and continued to flee, rushing down random corridors and taking random paths along crossroads to try and throw the Liger Fangs off his trail, but nothing he did seemed to work. He continued running, as he had done all those years ago in the Far East. 'I haven't changed at all... I'm still running...' thought a voice in his head, weighing down his mind with feelings of inadequacy, before he forced himself to push those feelings to the side of his head to focus on escaping.

However, a problem soon arrived, as the corridor he had taken lead right into an open area with only one entrance and exit. Akihide watched on in horror as the Liger Fangs appeared from the corridor, as he backed himself up against the wall in a desperate attempt to stay as far away from the monsters as possible.

'Why?' he thought as the Liger Fangs began to slowly close in. 'I wanted to avenge my family, to bring them peace in Tenkai... Is it really going to end here?' he thought, before he began to feel angry at himself, biting his lip and cursing his weakness.

But then, his anger changed targets. He cursed the monster that destroyed his home, the two monsters in front of him now, and most crucially, the Dungeon that had allowed these monsters to be born. His anger soared, reaching levels he never knew possible, as he looked at the monsters before him with not fear in his eyes, but rage.

He felt his strength grow, and he felt a tingling sensation at the bottom of his back, as well as a light burning along his tail and on parts of his hair. His eyes began to go hazy, as did his mind, as he felt his consciousness slipping away. 'This is like... with Kaguya...' was the last thing he thought to himself before his mind completely let go.

The two Liger Fangs watched in confusion as the hair on the boy began to turn red in several places, as well as the fur on his tail. In addition, two more tails of red energy appeared behind him, and the boy's eyes went from a golden colour to red. Not realising what that meant, the two beasts leapt at the boy, ready to finish him off and enjoy eating the small child. However, Akihide teleported once more, appearing on the ceiling of the open cavern, staring down at the two monsters.

This was Akihide's second skill, Reiður Styrkur Tamamo, which translated to 'Strength of Tamamo's Wrath'. Whilst Loki had previously discussed this with Riveria, Finn and Gareth, there were several things they didn't know about the skill. What they knew was Akihide was under the influence of a False Rank Up whilst under the effects of the skill, which was showcased by the tails on his back, showing his current prowess to be that of a level 3 adventurer. However, with his current body and mind, it was assumed that Akihide couldn't hold the form of this skill for long. They didn't know, however, three main things about the skill.

One was the Excilia booster aspect of the skill, which was also reliant on the tails shown on Akihide's back. When the skill was deactivated, Akihide gained Excilia at a normal rate, but when his skill was active, he gained an additional 50% towards his Excilia gains. So at his current state, Akihide was gaining twice the Excilia from this battle.

The second thing that they hadn't talked about was what Akihide was like when he activated his skill. If the three executives of the Loki Familia had seen what happened with Kaguya that faithful day, they would have known about the true danger of this skill. When an adventurer is in danger, there is a chance for their brain to stop planning out things entirely and for their body to move entirely based off of instincts and muscle memory. They used intuition and experience to dictate their actions, completely immersed in performing their actions of slaying monsters and surviving.

This is known as 'The Zone', as told by the gods. A state of true immersion in one's activity, it works to maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of one's actions, making them the best version of themselves in their particular setting. Whenever Reiður Styrkur Tamamo was activated, Akihide entered the zone, and was able to move with maximum efficiency and effectiveness of having one's intuition take the controls of the body.

And then there was the final thing that they didn't know about his skill. They had assumed Akihide's skill would be all but unusable as his body and mind couldn't keep up with the pressure of using it. However, this was only partially true. Akihide would need to train his body and mind for a long time before he could use this skill continuously over long periods of time or have the ability to turn it on and off at will, but what the others didn't know was how the skill most certainly did feed of Akihide's stamina, but it feed off his adrenaline more, which had no negative effects on the boy and allowed him to use the skill for longer. This skill was no glass cannon at the moment, and Akihide knew he could use this skill for a while, even if only subconsciously.

In the zone, Akihide wasted no time in jumping from the ceiling down onto the first Liger Fang, slamming his katana into the back of the beast, watching as the Liger Fang felt it's magic stone being shattered, and burst into ash. The second turned to the cloud that was once it's brother, as Akihide came barrelling out of the cloud and towards the monster, swinging his sword. The Liger Fang bit down onto his sword, catching it in it's mouth. It believed it held the upper hand at that point, but Akihide didn't allow it to, as he pushed the monster back with his new, superior strength.

The Liger Fang was shocked that the young boy was suddenly overpowering it, but had no more time to think as Akihide gripped the wakizashi on his belt and drove it into the eye of the monster. The Liger Fang roared in pain, letting go of the sword in the process, as Akihide bent down and drove the katana into the chest of the beast, also destroy that monster's magic stone, and turning it into ash.

Akihide sighed, as he turned around, watching the walls of the cavern break open as he subconsciously he had walked himself into a Monster House, a spawning location for monsters in the Dungeon. He watched under the influence of his skill as three Minotaurs, 5 Hellhounds, 8 Lamia Mormos, and even a Wyvern were born from the Dungeon. The Dungeon did not seem to want to give the boy a moment to rest, and was hellbent on killing him.

Akihide sheathed his wakizashi and grasped one of his magic swords into his hand, his other holding the katana. He was ready to fight, as he swung his kunai, watching lightning dance off the blade and into the horde of monsters.

Alise and Kaguya looked at the collection of adventurers that had come out to kill the Blood Minotaur. A collection of around 50 level 3 adventurers, and whilst they all knew that they were only in it for the money, the two knew they could rely on them to help take the monstrosity out. Bors Elder stepped up, and looked over the group. "It's been a while since there was a Blood Minotaur. Always goes for a pretty valis, that monster." said the materialistic adventurer, rubbing his hands together at the thought of the valis he could earn from slaying the beast. "Floor 15 near the pantry, right?"

Alise nodded. "It might have moved since then, so we should check all Floors 16 and 17 if it's not on 15 where we saw it last. Killed at least 5 adventurers already, probably more." she said, looking at the entry to Floor 17. She looked down at her sword, steeling her resolve to help the poor boy that she and the rest of her Familia had come to see as one of their own, an upholder of Justice and a hero of Orario.

"Well then, we best be on our way!" called out Bors, rushing to the stairs to ascend to Floor 17, his eye searching for the valis the Blood Minotaur would bring him, much like the other level 3 adventurers of Rivira. Kaguya and Alise looked at each other and nodded, before ascending the stairs themselves in search for the boy.

'I have faith in you, brat.' thought Kaguya, her hand drifting down to the hilt of her sword. 'Don't you dare die on me.'

Akihide woke up with a jolt, noticing he was asleep in the Dungeon. His head was resting against the small personal backpack he had for emergency situations, as he laid against the wall of Floor 15. He looked around, noticing the multiple bloody corpses and carcasses of the monsters that he had slain, as his mind scrambled to remember the fight he just had.

It came to him in small fractions, where in one instance, he ripped the horn out of one of the Minotaur monster and proceeded to stab it into the face of the Lamia Mormos, when he threw a Hellhound over his head and smashed it against the Dungeon's wall before impaling his sword through it's magic stone, and even when he threw the final Minotaur into the top of the entrance, sealing it shut. Then, the boy decided it was the perfect time to take a nap, as his stamina had been all but completely drained when he finished the fight. It was a good nap, and whilst Akihide felt slightly groggy, he was more than refreshed to continue making his way through Floor 15.

Akihide sat up and stretched, before looking over at the monster corpses and decided to loot the remaining monsters. He began making his way through the monsters, cutting out their magic stones, and was lucky enough to gather a Minotaur Horn and a Mormos Tooth, as well as 8 magic stones. He looked at his haul and nodded, before looking back at the collection of rocks blocking the exit. 'The Dungeon hasn't repaired itself yet...' he thought, before returning to his spot on the side of the cavern and sitting back down. 'I should wait until it does, without falling asleep.' he decided, watching the exit point and wondering when it would open.

Unfortunately, he wouldn't have to wait too long.

Without repairing, the wall of stone that covered the exit was busted open, stones and dust flying all over the place, causing Akihide to cough as some of the dust got into his lungs. When he opened his eyes, he saw the same monster that forced him here, walking into the cavern, before locking eyes with the boy. Akihide noticed, however, that the beast no longer carried an axe, but rather a greatsword that he hadn't seen before.

One stained with fresh blood.

'It killed someone else...' Akihide absently thought, as rage began to build up once more. His hair and fur returned to their state of red patches, as Akihide's tails increased, and his eyes became red once more, glaring at the creature, with one single thought in mind, 'Kill...', being all Akihide could bring himself to think.

The two locked eyes, both of them the eyes of predators looking down upon their prey, as they both took a step towards their opponent. Neither gave the slightest indication of what they would do first, but the moment Akihide entered the striking distance of the Minotaur, it roared and swung it's blade down to kill the boy. However, the Minotaur didn't know that everything in front of Akihide was his striking distance, as the boy teleported behind the beast, and swung his sword down it's back.

Breath of Hachiman was designed to be able to slice through the crustacean shells of the monsters on Floor 27, so slicing through the hide of a Minotaur was nothing difficult for the blade, which sent a torrent of blood down the creatures back as it screamed in pain. It wasted no time in swinging it's blade in a wide arc, and Akihide responded by driving the top of his blade into the ground and blocking the blow, pushing him back, but only by about a third of a meter, nowhere near as much as the Minotaur was used to.

In that moment, as the Minotaur looked down at the blade and saw the huge chip that came out of the sword where it struck the katana, it realised one thing. That this kid before it was the strongest person it had faced so far. The Minotaur roared it's terrible roar and charged at the boy, only to be met by the blade once more, parrying and guiding it down past Akihide, slamming into the ground next to the boy, before said boy swung around and brought his sword with him, trying to take a chunk out of the Minotaur's chest. However, the Minotaur leapt back and clashed blades once more, and since Akihide was not as prepared as before he was sent back about three metres, before recollecting himself and stabilising his landing.

The two rushed each other again, Akihide ducking under a round swing of the Minotaur's blade. The Minotaur anticipated another slash with the long reaching katana, and prepared to swing to block and counter. However, Akihide had other ideas, and pulled out a kunai, jumping back as far as he could and throwing it at the monster. The Minotaur recognised that more from before, and bought it's sword up to cover the oncoming lightning, only for a soft clink to throw the monster off. He looked ahead to see Akihide's katana stabbed into the ground, before noticing a weight on it's head, before it's eyes caught a look for one last time at anything.

That thing was the wakizashi of Breath of Hachiman.

Akihide slammed the weapon into the eye of the Minotaur, watching it writhe in pain and lash out at him, which he was able to easily dodge with his teleporting. The two locked eyes once more, but this time, it was different. Akihide's mere presence was enough to force the monster to back off. In that moment, when the single pupil of the Blood Minotaur met the red eyes of the adrenaline filled Akihide, two things were completely apparent.

Firstly, that in this moment, the Minotaur was no predator. It was the prey, as Akihide eyed it down as an absolute hunter.

The second was that no matter what it tried, the Minotaur would not be escaping alive.

The group looked down at the collection of corpses before them, their bodies so disfigured and pulverised that there was no doubt what had happened to them. The unlucky group of level 2 adventurers had a nasty run-in with the Blood Minotaur, and had paid for that unlucky mistake with their lives. Alise could only look on in sorrow as a group of level threes began to take their bodies back to the surface so they could be buried in the Adventurer's Graveyard. "We need to get this thing... now..." muttered Alise, getting a nod from Kaguya, who turned to Bors.

"No sign of Akihide here, Bors." she said, before looking around. "We haven't run into any monsters since Floor 16 either... this isn't normal."

"You have that right..." muttered the older level 3, before turning to the others from Rivira. "Spread out and search Floor 15! Bastard has to be here somewhere! Call out for help, don't try and take it on your own if you don't wanna die!" he called out, as everyone began to run in different directions.

That all came to a screeching halt when a thunderous roar exited one of the tunnels leading to the far edge of Floor 15. Everyone recognised it as the roar of a Minotaur.

Everyone ran towards that roar.

There was shoving as multiple adventurers tried to force their way to the front of the pack, looking for a boat load of valis for the rare monster's magic stone. There were roars of excitement, thinking on all the booze and vices they could spend that money on, as they rounded the final corner.

And they all came to a halt, their eyes fixated on what could only be described as a hunt.

The Blood Minotaur was in bad shape, the greatsword it had been using was clutched in it's right hand, which laid on the ground, severed just below the elbow. It's left eye was stabbed and closed shut, blood dripping from the socket. The beast was out of breath, panting as it tried to rest for a short moment, it's hooves shaking at the presence of it's predator.

Akihide was faring much better, with several small cuts along his body, along with a fairly major one on the side of his stomach, bleeding quite an alarming amount. However, what caught everyone's attention was the two floating tails of energy behind him, as well as the red patches of hair and fur along his hair and tail. Kaguya instantly recognised it from her own encounter with that monster, and backed away slightly, before steeling her nerves and watching.

Akihide yelled as he swung his katana once more, slicing into the chest of the Minotaur and causing immense pain for the beast. The Minotaur fell to one knee, but lashed out it's arm to try and hit the boy, who effortlessly leapt over it, before landing on top of the beast's knee, sword aimed for the kill shot to the neck. Akihide unfortunately didn't get the chance as the monster kicked out it's leg and forced Akihide back once more, before the boy slid across the ground for a moment before rushing the monster once more, who picked up the sword on the ground that was once in his hand.

Kaguya and Alice made a move to go and help him, but Bors stopped them with his hand. "No." he said, looking at the two. "This is his fight, we won't butt in on his kill. We're adventurers, and so is he." he said, looking back at the fight. He might've been a money hungry, booze drinking, tit loving man, but he was a man with morals, and one of them was the unanimous rule amongst adventurers that a kill was a kill, and no one was allowed to interfere with that.

Akihide jumped over the beast's head, drawing his katana along the monster's face, causing another roar that distracted the beast, and allowed Akihide to run his sword through the back of the monster, piercing just above the hip of the Minotaur. When the monster tried to turn around, Akihide simply dragged his sword along the beast's body, leaving a nasty cut, similar to when a tree cutter took an axe to a tree.

The beast fell onto it's hand and feet, clearly done. Akihide, still in the zone, wasted no time in standing beside the monster and swinging his sword it, severing the head from the body. The Blood Minotaur's corpse fell onto it's stomach, as Akihide looked down upon what he had accomplished, before he turned his attention to the people in the entryway. The ones at the front prepared for battle, not liking the predatory look in the boy's eye, as he took a single step forward.

He immediately tumbled and collapsed onto the ground, his body incredibly still as he was too exhausted to continue. His hair and fur returned to their original pure white, whilst the two tails made from energy dispersed into the air.

As the two members of the Astraea Familia rushed forward, word began to spread around what had been seen. It would not be long before word reached not only Rivira, but also the Surface. The rest of the Loki Familia on Floor 50 would be the last to hear about the amazing feat that Akihide had accomplished in the Dungeon, whilst the rest of Orario looked up to the small boy as a beacon of hope for all that was to come.

He was Akihide Okami, Kvikr Sigurd of the Loki Familia, and his newest title granted to him by the people, The Future Hero of Orario.

Hope you guys enjoyed. Just a small omake to finish off the year.

Vanadis Odr (7)

Every morning, there was a tradition in the Freya Familia where all members would train to stand out to their goddess by beating the ever loving shit out of each other, almost to the point of death. This fight was customary, apparently being a tradition well before Ottar joined the Freya Familia, and as such, the members of the Freya Familia simply went along with it, striving to prove their worth to their goddess.

Akihide, was doing no such thing, as he watched from the side lines with Hedin, the head of healing and level 3, watching the members of the Freya Familia go at each other. He would usually join in, seeing as he didn't get too beaten up that he would slack off at Mama Mia's or be late, but the healers had gotten a flu spreading around their barracks, so they were short staffed, meaning Akihide had to step up to support them.

It wasn't that he didn't mind healing his fellow Familia members, even if some of them were cold or downright hostile to him, but Hedin scared the poor boy, glaring down at him with distain every time he came with an injury, even though Allen apparently told him that getting injured was the best way to train to avoid them again, which Akihide was beginning to doubt, by how pissed Hedin was at him every time he came to her, covered in bruises, cuts and usually accompanied by a broken bone or two.

But Akihide was definitely her favourite when he was helping her out. He couldn't stay for long, since Mama Mia needed him to work that night, but he was more than capable of helping until then.

Soon enough, most of the fighting was concluded, and more than a vast majority of the members of Freya Familia laid across the ground, beaten and broken. Hedin sighed. "I'll leave the ones with more minor injuries to you, so focus on them. The others will deal with the more injured dumbasses, got it?!"

"Okay! Leave the dumbasseses!" replied Akihide, looking up with a smile, causing Hedin to sigh.

"Fucking close enough..." she muttered, grabbing two of the worse off ones she could find and threw them over her shoulders to take to the infirmary.

Akihide got to work, dragging the less injured close before chanting his spell, ensuring everyone was in his range as the gate manifested and the healing took place. Soon enough, he found himself out of energy, and stood up after dispelling the healing magic. "The rest should heal up by the end of the day. Don't overexert yourselves." he said, before walking away to get ready for his shift.

Mia looked on from the bar, watching closely as Syr, Anya and Akihide were wiping down tables and setting cutlery. This is the life she wanted, running her own bar in the middle of Orario. What a joy that was. She looked on in satisfaction at what she had accomplished.

"Anya, can you grab a new rag? This one's dirty." asked Akihide to his coworker.

"I'll grab mew a nyan one." responded Anya, reaching down to get one.

Akihide sighed. "Fucking close enough..."

Syr dropped her plate.

Anya knocked the bucket over.

Mia stood up and smacked her head against a hanging pan.

The three looked at the small boy, not even eight yet, with a mixed look of confusion and horror in their eyes. Akihide just looked confused. "What?"

Syr regained herself first. "W-what did you just say?" she asked.

"... Fucking close enough?" responded Akihide with a flat face, not seeing anything wrong with it.

Mia looked at the boy, before sighing. "Where did you hear that word?"

Akihide looked at her and smiled. "Oh! Hedin taught it to me today. She told me to take care of the dumbasseses, and when I said I would, she said that, which means thanks, right?"

Anya couldn't hold it, and fell onto the ground, laughing her ass off. Syr looked into the distance, much more coldly, and Mama Mia just sighed once more, before grabbing Akihide by the shoulders. "You never say that word again, am I understood?"

"Huh?"

"Hedin?" called out a charming and seductive voice, causing the hairs on the back of the girls neck to stand up in excitement. She turned to see the gorgeous figure to Freya, looking down upon her with her usual smile. "Would you follow me for a moment?"

"O-Of course, Lady Freya!" called out the excited girl, squealing in delight in her head as she followed Freya through their home to the bathroom.

Freya turned around and told her to go in, following behind her and closing the door. Hedin was excited by the prospect of the two, alone in a bathroom, before she turned and the look on Freya's face was less than happy. "Do you mind telling me why Akihide told Mia that you taught him how to say 'fucking'?"

Hedin's face went white as a sheet, remembering her slip of the tongue the day before, and gulping.

Freya picked up a bar of soap, and held it in her hand. "I think that dirty mouth of yours needs a good clean. Hold still."

Hedin had no time to react from the shock as the cleaning product found it's way to her mouth, and Freya began to push it in and out, cleaning it.

Hedin wouldn't swear for three years after that incident, but it was all for naught, as in the following month, Akihide learnt the phrases "Kiss my hairy ass" and "That shit was ridiculous" from patrons at the Hostess of Fertility.

Well that bought back some horrible childhood memories. See how well the soap turned out, mother? Not well.

But anyway have a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and whatever else you guys are celebrating, this is Striker777, over and out.
