Chapter 100: The Renard Delivers Herself!
'Click——'
Inside the room, a graceful figure sat upright, her gaze fixed on the panoramic window ahead.
"Don't you have anything to say?"
The 'Man Made Dungeon' incident had come to an end.
In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is useless.
Last night, almost the entire Freya Familia had been mobilized, causing quite a stir on Daedalus Street.
However, no one knew what the Freya Familia was actually doing.
Especially Loki Familia, as the only Familia in Orario that could rival Freya Familia, they naturally paid close attention to every move of their competitor, but they also didn't find any useful information.
No one knew that the real 'battlefield' was within the 'Knossos', a place hidden for a thousand years.
After returning, Ethan was naturally summoned by Freya immediately.
Obviously, Alfrigg had reported everything about the 'Xenos' to Freya, especially the fact that Ethan had subdued a female Lamia monster.
"What does Freya-sama want to know?" Ethan asked with a smile.
He had already prepared for all of this and wasn't afraid of Freya's inquiries.
"It seems you have already prepared all the answers."
"Heh~"
He smiled without saying a word.
In front of a god, mortals couldn't lie, especially in front of a goddess as shrewd as one in front of him.
"Xenos, a group of special monsters born in the dungeon, possess 'intelligence'. Some can even speak and have a clear sense of self. They are attacked by monsters and hunted by humans alike."
"Hmm?"
The sudden explanation caught Freya off guard.
However, this was the first time she had heard about Xenos, intelligent monsters that were also treated as enemies by normal monsters in the dungeon.
"Ikelos Familia earned high profits by selling these intelligent monsters outside of Orario. After all, 'special breeds' like Xenos are very valuable."
"So, those monsters in the 'Knossos' were all goods captured by Ikelos Familia?"
"Yes, and I also obtained some interesting information from those Xenos. Would Freya-sama be interested in listening?"
"Just spit it out~"
Freya said, looking at him who was keeping her in suspense.
Although she likes to speak in riddles, that doesn't mean she likes being on the receiving end.
"For many years, there has been a 'person' who has been constantly contacting Xenos and helping them."
"Hmm? You mean someone in Orario has already discovered the existence of Xenos?"
"Yes, this person calls himself 'Fool' and is shrouded in a black robe."
Hearing Ethan's description, Freya's expression changed slightly.
As the goddess in charge of Orario's strongest Familia, Freya naturally knew many unknown things about the labyrinth city, including this mysterious mage who was directly under the Great God Ouranos.
This meant that behind the Xenos, there was also the shadow of Ouranos?
Suppose, if Orario was a game, and all the 'gods' were players, then Ouranos was the 'administrator'.
Day after day, he used his divine power and prayers to suppress the dungeon beneath Orario.
Moreover, the Adventurer Guild he created was the largest management organization in Orario, and all Familias were under the guild's management.
"Ouranos—"
Freya lowered her eyes slightly.
She hadn't expected that even Ouranos would be involved in this matter.
Ethan, who was standing beside her, smiled.
This was what it meant to take advantage of someone else's influence.
He could use Freya's authority to deter members of her Familia, and likewise he could also use Ouranos's influence to divert Freya's attention.
"You can go back now. Last night's matter is over."
"Understood!"
It was finally over.
Now Freya's mind was filled with thoughts about Ouranos and the Xenos.
As for Ethan's matter, it was no longer worth mentioning.
He turned and left the goddess's bedroom, then headed back to his own room.
Having barely slept all night, Ethan was tired.
As soon as he entered the room, he changed his clothes and prepared to get some rest.
It had been a while since he had stayed up all night.
However, on Ethan's bed, a graceful figure had already occupied his spot.
The golden-haired Renard, Haruhime, was lying on Ethan's bed, her head buried in the pillow, her large golden tail taking up a considerable amount of space.
She was sound asleep.
Seeing this scene, Ethan didn't know what to say.
Coming home and finding a beautiful fox-eared girl lying on his bed, what should he do?
It was quite urgent!
'Hmm~'
However, at this moment, with a muffled groan, Haruhime woke up in a daze.
But upon seeing Ethan with her sleepy eyes, she knelt down in front of him, as if welcoming him back.
"You're back, Ethan-sama~~~"
"Hmm?"
Just as Ethan was about to ask a question, he smelled a faint scent of alcohol in the air.
He hadn't noticed it before, but as soon as Haruhime spoke, the smell of alcohol rushed out.
It seemed this fox-eared girl had been drinking.
"You drank alcohol?"
"Just a little bit. I saw how much Ethan-sama likes to drink, so I wanted to give it a try."
"Just a little bit?"
On the desk beside them, an empty wine bottle lay quietly.
Looking at the bottle, Ethan rubbed his temples helplessly.
This was a rare wine he had gotten from Freya's collection.
Although it wasn't a divine wine, it was still extremely rare.
He had originally planned to save it for a special occasion, but it looks like Haruhime had drunk it for him.
"Ethan-sama, you are my hero, a hero who belongs only to Haruhime. I'm happy, but I have nothing but this 'unchaste' body of mine to offer."
As she spoke, she began to remove her clothes, revealing her fair shoulders.
From the beginning, Haruhime had believed that she was no longer pure after having served as a prostitute before.
Therefore, she had never dared to express her feelings, thinking of herself as someone not worthy of his love.
Now, after drinking a whole bottle of alcohol, she somehow got the courage to express her feelings.
She thought she had nothing else to offer him, besides herself.
Taking advantage of the alcohol's influence, Haruhime put her long-held thoughts into action, offering herself to her hero, just like the stories of heroes and prostitutes in heroic tales.
"Haruhime, don't forget that you're the one who delivered yourself to my doorstep!"
Over the past two months, Ethan had accumulated a lot of 'pent-up energy' at Freya's place, with nowhere to vent it.
Now that Haruhime had delivered herself to him, how could he possibly refuse?
