68 Chapter 68: Bed Time Story (2)

Tosca watched in surprise as Alex was enjoying his cup of coffee, his smiling face making him even more handsome than he already was.

"Are you done already, Master?"

"Yes, it was a minor fluke, though I'm not regretting going it was quite amusing."

Alex said as his smile widened, barely exposing his perfect pearl white teeth, causing Tosca to blush a bit, after all, she was no longer a child and was already within her teen years causing her to have all kind of strange emotions because of her hormones and although Alex was acting like a father figure he was rarely there when she grew up and was technically not her father.

Alex of course had noticed the change happening to Tosca and decided not to mention it and only pray that a second Aura would not appear or else he might just completely give up on fostering any more daughters.

Choose sons? He didn't want to. He had no other reason other than just not wanting a son. A daughter to protect and pamper was more than enough, but the thing he wanted to be the most was the most dreadful being in existence to his daughter's husband one that would make him wake up at night with nightmares of there encounters and each time they saw each other he would shiver in fear. This was Alex's greatest wish and each time he thought of it he would smile cruelly making all men in the universe shiver be they mortal or god.

After conversing some more with Tosca, Alex left her to her meditation, leaving the room he headed downstairs to the living room but having just reached the base of the stairs he felt the summoning token flair up again causing him to frown as he once again teleported away while transforming.

...

Azfius once again in a room of pink and teddies. This time he didn't look around but focussed his attention on the young kitsune standing in front of him holding the summoning token.

"Hello, we meet again."

She said as she gave a courteous bow.

"I 'gained' this token from mother again and summoned Mr... ummm oh yeah mum called you Azfius...ahem, Mr. Azfius for a task of great importance"

She walked towards her bed and got under the covers, then stared at Azfius with teary eyes and a somewhat red face.

"Would you read me a bedtime story? Please!"

Sight*

A long and drawn out sigh came from Azfius causing a mini tornado to wreak havoc in this land of fluff and teddies as they were pulled up from everywhere and scattered around, Kunou clutched her planked and pillow while holding tightly to her bed frame or else she would have met the same fate of her teddies.

The mini-tornado soon calmed down causing Kunou to stare at Azfius with shock and fascination.

"That was awesome!"

She yelled out but as if remembering something she coughed a few times before returning to her proper ladylike manner.

"Would you be so kind?"

She asked again with a pitiful smile as she lowered her head under her bed covers so that only the eyes and above part of her face were visible and her ears lowered pushing her cuteness level over nine thousand.

Azfius wanted to give another sigh but decided against it seeing how he had already ruined her neat little pink room. In the end, he only nodded his head and walked towards Kunou's bed and sat on the corner causing the poor bed to grow and the topmost opposite corner to be pulled up a bit.

Kunou's eyes shined as Azfius agreed and she waited with bated breath when he sat down not even raising that her poor bed almost broke under the titan's weight. He had shrunk his form and lessened his weight but due to his dense muscular structure, he easily weighed a few tons, considering this Kunou's bed was quite impressive as was Azfius's ability to spread his weight upon the things he sat on or walked on.

"ONC...."

"Wait!"

Just as Azfius was about to begin causing the room to start trembling and the walls to crack Kunou quickly shouted causing him to stop. He turned his head and looked helplessly at the little girl.

"Ca...can you maybe talk with a lower voice?"

Kunou asked worriedly as her eyes darted towards the door of her room, only heating a sigh in relief when no one burst into the room again.

Azfius in the meantime rolled his eyes, what did she think he was her personal storyteller, just letting him agree to tell her a story was already a great honor now the little tyrant wanted him to lower his voice, not thinking of the possibility that he was already whispering.

Thinking for a bit Azfius suppressed all the life force in his body, well all the life force he could possibly suppress was and then spoke again with his quietest and most gentle voice.

"Once upon a time..."

Listening to his voice, Kunou almost immediately became sleepy, she could finally make out how his voice sounded, it was as if pressing once ear to the earth it was solid it was strong but most important it was one of the most peaceful voices she had ever heard, like somebody that had no worries nor would ever worry, a mountain strong majestic and peaceful that was what his voice represented.

Azfius spoke slowly and clearly, each word pronounced perfectly as it resonated with the world, Kunou closed her eyes and it only took about five minutes before she couldn't endure any longer and fell asleep.

Azfius finished his story about the life of a fox that once lived within his shadow, form the day of its birth to its death, skipping irrelevant things and making it child friendly, he then stood up from the bed saw Kunou was sleeping, he tucked her in a bit to make sure she would get called in the night before he faded from the room, his voice reverberating in the room as he left.

"Sleep tight little fox, may your dreams be as sweet as the waters that fall from the heavens"
