124 The Bathhouse Incident (SC-7&8)

Sorry for the wait! Here is the chapter!

Not only today's chapter, but this will also count as the other chapter of this week as well.

This one is 6K words long, and it's a single long story... Side chapters 8 and 9, the last 2 I had left to post.

I wanted to post this a long time ago, but I ended up waiting for the timeline to advance and the opportunity appeared.

Starting next week, I'll probably resume the bonus chapter goals.

I'll probably set something around 500 to 700 power stones since we can get that rather periodically.

If we do pass it, I'll say it on Sunday and post a new chapter after.

In any case, I hope you like this chapter.

PS: If you ever see me replying with a DOT please, ignore it, this is my way of marking comments that I think are pointing out mistakes.

If you want to point out a mistake, use '*', it makes things simpler.

You all know I read all comments, so sometimes, one or two comments may pass through my vision.

Aside from that, I need to sleep, see you all later.

This chapter is a bit of a joke, it is mostly canon, but also not? I would say it is, I had fun writing it, I hope you have fun reading it.

'Let's go back a few days ago… A little over a week to be precise, just a day after Ganesha's spring event… The first day of April.'

'Silver was having a rather strange dream where he was a Detective in the middle of the 21st-century city, but midway through that, the ocean's marine life started an all-out war against the trees...'

/COCK-A-DOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…/

"Urg…" Silver said as he woke up from his bizarre dream with a tired expression

"Such a distasteful bird, what a way to start the day…" He said as he looked out into the window

'But no matter how much he looked, he never found where those damn birds sang from…'

'He touched his face, trying to send the tiredness away, but it didn't, he simply wanted to remain in bed…'

/Thud.../

'Slapping his poor bed, Silver got up and went to the bathroom, the very same thing he did every day.'

...

'He brushed his teeth, took off his clothes proceeding on taking a cold quick shower before putting on a more casual set of clothes.'

'Once he was done, he checked the time, it was a bit over 6Am.'

"Hestia should be asleep, and the others are…"

'Silver went to the window once more, looking at the ground floor.'

'There, he saw a group of girls running around a track, some simply stretched, others were doing something else…'

'It was their early morning training, something they did every day on his demand when they entered the Familia.'

"They're more energetic than me…" He said as he scratched his nose

"I can't go on like this, how would I face them if the Captain wakes up after everyone else?" Silver said in a low tone with a half smile

'He, of course, did not consider Hestia, everyone knew how lazy she was, so no one nitpicked on her…'

'Silver shook his head, and made his way to the first floor to eat some breakfast.'

"Yawn..."

I'm hungry...

'Finally, he was there, the first floor, the kitchen, hopefully, the girls hadn't eaten all of the damn cheese like last time.'

"Hm?"

Is someone there already? Haruhime?

'Silver heard chattering inside the kitchen, giggles, and chuckles, it seemed it wasn't Haruhime, but instead, a group of girls…'

"Jumping training? No can do…" He mumbled with a smile

/Creak…/

'He opened the door and immediately realized his mistake.'

"..."

'Time seemed to slow down as Silver analyzed his current situation.'

'In front of him was a group of 3 girls, looking at him with smiling faces…'

'One of them was Ritol, a small and presumably young Elf with dark hair, she was one of the youngest, being around 15 years old.'

'The other one was Sarina a human girl with blond hair, around the same age as Ritol.'

'And finally, a beast girl with brown hair, it was Fiolla, and about a year and a half older than Ritol.'

'How heartwarming seeing 3 young ladies from 3 different races playing and laughing…'

'But the target of their fun seemed to be none other than Silver…'

'As above him was… A bucket of Icy cold water, slowly fell, inch by inch in a perfect motion... Towards his head.'

'He could easily evade it, even a Kobold was faster than that…'

'It wouldn't be impossible for a normal person either, depending on how cautious they were.'

'But he didn't move, instead, he simply looked at the 3 girls as the bucket slowly fell, perhaps already accepting his fate… That he had been pranked.'

/Splash!/

"HAHAHA!" Laughed Sarina loudly

It worked!

"Haha… ?!" Chuckled Fiolla, before shutting her mouth

Isn't that?...

"..."

I'm...

'Each of the girls had different reactions, one laughed loudly with her eyes closed, the other one laughed slightly, but soon realized what had just happened.'

'And the last one, Ritol was completely and utterly silent, following her race's standard of being silent and cold… And rooted in place like a tree.'

/Silence…/

"Haha? What happened everyone… IHH!" Exclaimed Sarina as she opened her eyes

Shit...

'They stood there, gazing at Silver with the platinum bucked on his head.'

/Clap clap…/

'Silver started to clap, very slowly, before saying as he removed the bucked from his head.'

"You got me, the old reliable, the classic prank…" He said with a small smile

""...""

"Why the stunned faces? I won't do anything at all."

'The girls seemed to relax slightly.'

"You should be happy that it was me, had it been Daphne or Cassandra… Igva or Fernin… Who knows what they might've done." Silver said as he shook his head

'He placed the bucked on the counter and said:'

"I don't mind these harmless pranks, so keep going if you wish, just remember to clean it up, okay?" He said as he walked past them

"Phew…"

'But the moment he heard one of them sighing in relief, he said without turning his back:'

"Oh yeah… Remember that there will be a backlash, prepare to be pranked later."

"?!"

'The three suddenly tensed.'

"I wonder what it might be… Hohoho…" Silver said dramatically as he walked away

"Wait! Captain! I'm sorry!" Ritol exclaimed as she went after him

"Haha! Too late!" Silver exclaimed as he vanished like smoke

"..."

/Thud/

'She fell onto her knees with small tears in her eyes…'

"It's over…"

"Don't be overdramatic Little Ri, the captain is a very cool person…"

/Step step…/

'But before Sarina could continue, someone approached from the corridor…'

"Hey? Is the captain inside? I just heard his voice and I would like to talk with him for a moment…" Cassandra said as she stepped inside

"Ah? NO! WAIT…"

/SLIP!/

'Cassandra slipped on the water, throwing her plate full of pancakes into the air…'

'And they just so happen to fall directly on top of another person… It was a very pissed-off Daphne.'

'Not only that, but Cassandra also grabbed onto the only source of support instinctively, which were the pants of the person behind her, pulling them down and revealing a beautiful and mature pantie that looked just like a spotted tiger.'

"You guys…" She said with a flushed expression that contained her immense anger

"Urg... I'm sorry..." Cassandra said as she looked around embarrassed

"Kinky! But, RUN!" Sarina exclaimed as she ran in the opposite direction

'Fiolla went after her like a bolt of lightning, leaving the confused Ritol behind…'

"Eh?" By the time she noticed what had happened, Daphne was in front of her

'She knew there was no escape from this so she…'

"Eek…"

'Cried.'

/Sometime later…/

"So today is one of those days… Should I abandon the idea of going to the Dungeon and instead enjoy the day a little?" Silver asked himself as he walked on the street

Nah, I could instead, leave the Dungeon earlier to play a bit… That seems about right.

There are indeed some people I would like to prank.

'Silver walked down the streets with a carefree expression, he saw the workers waking up, opening their shops, and going to buy their fruits and vegetables on the market.'

'He saw children running around and playing, imagining themselves as Heroes and monsters...'

'This was the peace the Guild was trying so desperately to maintain.'

"Here I am." Silver said as he looked at a bar

/Hostess of fertility/

/Whispers…/

'He could hear whispers coming from inside, he had come all the way here to see them, so there was no point in turning around now, right?'

'Ever since Syr started to make him food, even though it was terrible, Silver always came here to grab it out of courtesy.'

'And despite him denying it with every fiber of his soul, he quite liked doing so, it was one more excuse to visit them.'

/Creak…/

'So he opened the half-closed door.'

"..."

No fucking way…

'Huh? Cough! I was distracted... Anyway.'

'In front of him was a group of 4 girls, looking at him with mixed expression…'

'A cat girl with dark hair, smiling mischievously.'

'A human girl with light brown hair, with a tired expression.'

'An Elf girl with an icy cold expression, but somewhat warm.'

'And finally, another cat girl with brown hair who seemed to be jumping in the air with excitement as she gazed at Silver.'

'Didn't this… Happen before?'

"..."

Why?...

'Alas, above him was… Another Godforsaken bucket of Icy cold water, slowly falling, inch by inch in a perfect motion.'

'He could easily evade it, even a Goblin was faster than that…'

'It wouldn't be impossible for a normal person either, depending on how cautious they were.'

'But he didn't move, instead, he simply looked at the 4 girls as the bucket slowly fell, already accepting his cruel fate in despair… That he had been pranked once more.'

'They also looked at him, perhaps noticing his expression and that he wasn't going to move, they looked at his eyes for a few awkward moments before the water completely covered his face.'

'After all, every one of these girls was strong, so for them, the bucket also fell at a very slow speed…'

/SPLASH!/

"NYAHAHA! I knew he would come." Chloe said with a sly smile

"How did he fall for the oldest trick in the book?" Lunoire asked out loud, even though she knew why

"BUWAHAHAHAHA!" Anya laughed as she rolled on her back

"Anya, get up, you're messing up your uniform." Ryuu said in a low tone as she turned around, hiding her small smile and puffed cheeks

'Silver, on the other hand, remained silent, letting the cold water soak his clothes.'

"... Women…" He mumbled to himself in a cold tone

'He slowly took out the bucket from his head, revealing his wet face and hair for all to see.'

'He brushed his hair backward, frowning.'

"Prepare for severe backlash." He proclaimed out loud for all of them

"Heh? Do you even have the courage for that big guy?" Chloe teased

"A desperate man will resort to desperate actions, someone on the ground cannot fall further." He said deeply with a stone-cold expression

'Instead of greeting them, he turned around, walking to a table and grabbing a piece of mopping cloth that was dry.'

'He grabbed it and stretched it, and like magic, the cloth actually got bigger and bigger until it became a massive one piece, long enough to cover someone up completely.'

"How did you do that?!" Anya asked curiously as she approached him

'She looked at him with innocent eyes, Silver gazed down at her with his cold eyes.'

"You… Forget it." He said as he shook his head, walking past her

Not worth it.

"Eh? Tell me!" She said as she followed him

"No."

"Buu! Tell me!" She said persistently

'Silver turned to her and frowned.'

"Fine, here, solve this puzzle cube and I'll tell you." He said as he took a cube out of his pocket

'Anya's focus wasn't on why he had that on his pocket at all, instead, she was looking directly at the object...'

'It was a Rubik's cube…'

"All of the faces need to be of the same color, one color for each face, good luck."

"Huh?! I can do that." She said cutely as she sat down on a chair, moving the faces of the cube around with great interest

This is fun.

"... She was defeated just like that…" Lunoire said with a helpless smile

"Indeed she was…" Chloe said as she shook her head

'The girls simply shook their heads, Anya was simply too much of an airhead.'

'Silver walked towards Chloe and said:'

"Do not resist, you have no options, you are surrounded, hand yourself in the name of the law."

'Chloe smiled wickedly and said:'

"Nyaaa… Help me Ryuu!..." She said dramatically as she ran around the shop

"..."

'Ryuu remained silent.'

"There is no escape, she won't help you, accept your fate." Silver said as he moved his hand

/Fwoosh!/

"?!"

'Silver suddenly reappeared right next to Chloe, all of the fur on her body standing up in surprise.'

'But before she had the time to react, Silver threw the mop on top of her head, covering her completely.'

'Everyone was confused, was that it?'

'Even Ryuu became a bit tensed, she thought that Silver would do something bad for a moment, but it was just that…'

"I got scared there for a moment…" Chloe said out loud

"Don't celebrate yet, it has only started." Silver said as he crossed his arms

'He turned to Lunoire and said:'

"Why don't you do the honors and reveal our little cat's new look?"

"New look? Say that again?!" Chloe exclaimed loudly

"Of course!" Lunoire said with a small smile

How fun.

/Fwoosh!/

'She pulled down the clothe, and immediately… Silence.'

/Thud…/

'Anya dropped the Rubik's cube on the ground, Ryuu turned around immediately, trying very hard to hold down her laugh, while Lunoire…'

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Wh... What happened? Can someone tell me what's going on?" Chloe asked as she looked at her hands

I don't feel any different…

"PINK!" Anya exclaimed loudly

"Pink?" Chloe said to herself

My underware?! Ah... No. I don't have pink underwear...

'She look up and down, checked her clothes, nothing was out of the ordinary…'

'It was then that she checked her tail…'

"NYA?!" She blurted out in shock

'She then ran to the bathroom, and in no time at all, she ran out like a bolt of lightning, trying to grasp Silver's collar…'

'But her hands phased through him as if it was air.'

"Futile." Silver said as he looked down on her due to the difference in height

"Turn me back!" She exclaimed with a sharp gaze as she continued to sweep the air

"No can do, this will last an entire day I'm afraid." Silver said as he shook his head

"NO! It can't be..." She said with a pale expression

'Chloe was now… A pink cat, her hair, her ears, and her tail, all of the fur on her body had become pink…'

(The rock knows what you're thinking, sus)

"WHAT'S ALL THE FUSS!" Mia exclaimed as she opened the door from the kitchen

"We'll open soon, so everyone… What the…"

'She immediately stopped, looking at the pink haired Chloe and…'

"What a look, very daring! Albeit I question what's your purpose with it… Is that the fashion these days?" Mia asked in a straightforward way with a big smile

'It was clear, she knew very well Chloe got pranked.'

"I know right? Isn't she charming?" Silver said with a smile of his own

"You…" Chloe said annoyed

"Well then… Next." He said as he looked at Lunoire

'But she immediately replied:'

"I have nothing to do with it." She said with a straight face

"Wh…? Traitor! You were the one that filled the bucket!" Chloe said out loud

"Don't listen to her, she simply wants me to pull me down with her." Lunoire replied

"You! I won't forget this!"

'Friends became foes...'

'Silver looked at Anya and asked:'

"Who filled the bucket?"

"Nya? It was L…"

'She then looked at Lunoire, seeing her extremely scary smile, she changed and said:'

"It was Chloe Nya! Definitely her, no one else... Nya." Anya said with her ears down, her tail between her legs

"... I see."

'Silver then looked at Ryuu, but after a little while, he ignored her as well.'

"Huh!? Why not Ryuu?" Chloe asked

"I know she had nothing to do with this."

"How do you know that?!"

"Stop trying to share the blame and enjoy your new look for the rest of the day." Silver said in a low tone

'He looked at Mia and asked:'

"Would you like to try as well?"

"Pink hair? No way, too goofy." She said as she turned around, going back to setting up the shop

'Her words rang deep in Chloe's ears.'

'Silver looked around and asked:'

"Hum… Isn't there someone missing?"

"Syr is sick, unfortunately, so she stayed home today." Ryuu replied in a low tone

"Heh, missing her already?" Lunoire teased

"Do you want the cloth?" Silver asked with a smile

"... Sorry, I'll stop…"

/FWOOSH!/

'Chloe tried to grab his collar once again, but she once again failed.'

"You sure are determined, I'll give you that."

"You're one to talk! Who would want to stay like this?!"

"A shame, I've never seen a pink cat before... Alright then, I'll give you a chance."

"If you apologize properly while saying: I'm sorry Nyawster, this little cat was wrong, I'll change your hair color."

"..."

'Chloe looked at him with a disgusted expression, while Lunoire tried to hold her laugh.'

"Pff... Ny... Nyawster..." Lunoire said as her lips trembled

'Mia who was about to get inside the kitchen shook her head.'

"I'm… I'm so... I'm sorry Nyawster, this little cat was wrong…" She said in a very low tone with a dark expression

'Silver then took out a small box from within his pockets, pressing a button on it…'

"~I'm sorry Nyawster, this little cat was wrong~" The box said

/Silence…/

"Pfft…"

'Ryuu turned around and laughed in a low tone, she couldn't take this anymore.'

/FWOOSH!/

"HA!" Chloe said as she grabbed the box from Silver's hand

I'll crush this damn thing!

'But when she tried to crush it... Nothing.'

"Impressive, you're very fast, I can see you have some practice…" Silver praised

"But you're far below me in the art of thievery." He said as he raised his right hand, the box was right there

"What?!" Chloe exclaimed

When did he...

"Well then everyone, have a good morning, I hope business is good." Silver said as he walked towards the door

"NOO!"

/Fwoosh!/

'She once again jumped at him, trying to grab his collar, but she passed through him.'

'Silver smiled as his body slowly turned into smoke.'

"Turn my hair back!" Chloe exclaimed

"I already did." Silver said with a small smile

"Eh?!"

He did?... Wait...

"... NOOO! NOT LIKE THIS, YOU ^%&$..."

'Chloe's fur was now… Blond.'

/Sometime later at the Guild…/

"... This should be all." Loiju replied as he checked some papers

"There seem to be fewer commissions this time around." Silver said as he checked the contents, just in case this Elf tried to prank him, he was fed up with that already

"It happens, you see…"

/Step step step…/

'Suddenly, someone entered running into the Guild.'

'It was a blond man with a green hat…'

(Image?)

"Huff… Huff… Is he here?" He mumbled to himself as he looked around

'He eventually saw who he was looking for.'

"Hum?"

Is that…

'Silver also noticed this man, and the strange fact he… Seemed to be walking in his direction!'

"I finally met you! I heard you walked early to go to the Dungeon, but I underestimate the time and almost missed you… Phew." The man said as he fixed his hat in place

"Hermes?…" Silver asked

Why is he here?

"Oh! It's been a long while since we last met no? All the way back at Apollo's party!"

"Man, that brings back some memories, hosting that game sure was fun... I can't believe an entire month has already rolled by…" He said with a small smile

"Is everyone okay? I mean, Hestia and your Familia?" He asked with a genuine smile

"They are, Hestia is a bit overwhelmed due to her work, but the new members are growing well…"

"That aside what brings you to me?"

"Haha… It's a bit awkward to talk about it here…" He said as he looked around

"Hey friend, would you mind guiding us to a private room?" Hermes asked as he looked at Loiju

"Not really, we were done here already…"

/Splash!/

'Silver looked in horror as Loiju was completely drenched in water, just like him a few minutes ago…'

"..."

Oh God... If I was just a step faster...

'The Elf looked at Silver and Hermes before he said:'

"Well then, the private rooms are in this corridor, I imagine you two already know that, just grab the one you like."

"As you can see, an… ''Incovenience' has just befallen upon me, so if you two excuse me, I need to dry my hair." Loiju said as he walked down the corridor

'It was only for a moment, but Silver saw a pink-haired girl smiling at the other end of the corridor.'

"..."

This...

/A few more minutes of explanations later…/

"And that's all." Hermes said as he put his hat back on his head

"Wait, let me go over everything again."

"You received a commission this morning about retrieving an item from an unknown Goddess, right?"

"Yes I did, I don't really know who it is, but that doesn't matter."

"..."

That's very important...

"A friend of mine has requested it for me to take the item and bring it to them." Hermes replied with a nod

"So you're the middle man?" Silver asked

"Precisely!"

"Okay, I understand that, what I didn't quite understand was why you need me, grab it yourself."

"It's like this, currently, Asfi and the others are away doing something else, so I don't have anyone else that can do this mission for me…"

"So I thought and thought until… I remembered how you infiltrated the fortress in the War game!"

"You are the perfect solution for this!"

"No no no… Why do you need someone with infiltrating abilities?" Silver asked with a dark expression

"Well… Because the commissioner... Left her item… In the Divine bathhouse… WAIT SILVER-KUN, DON'T LEAVE!" Hermes exclaimed as he saw Silver get up from his chair

"Don't joke with me Hermes, I have some serious things to do, I'm not falling for that."

"I'm being serious this time!" Hermes replied hastily

'He passed his arm through his neck and said:'

"Look, the rewards are massive I tell you! You just need to get inside, grab the item, and leave, you even get to have a nice view on the way!"

"First, I don't care about other Goddess looks, if I wanted to look at them, there were so many less dangerous and self-destructive ways of doing so."

"Besides, why didn't that Goddess, the commissioner, actually leave the item somewhere else?! Did she forget it there or something?"

"I… I don't know! I just know that the reward is big, and that I was already paid!"

"Look I… You were already paid?" Silver frowned

"I… Ahaha…"

"..."

"Alright! I'll give you the entire reward now! So please, do it for me! My reputation for never failing a commission in my life is at stake!"

"Let's make this clear..." Silver said as he crossed his arm

"You want me to risk my entire life's reputation, infiltrating the Divine bathhouse, all for the sake of a boring ass commission?"

"Why don't you have another Goddess… Do it for you?"

"No can do, the commissioner said that she would cancel the commission if we did that, she would even come back for the money…"

"What a nitpicky person... What is so important that other female Goddesses can't see?"

"And between you and me, I don't want to find out who has the power to hand out so much money just like this."

"... Damn it all, this day keeps getting worse."

"Fine, I'll do it, but I want everything you know about the bathhouse, from the blueprint to the dammede watere temperature!"

"Yes sir!" Hermes replied with a relieved smile

Sorry... My friend...

/Later that day on the attic of a house…/

"Here I am…" Silver said as he looked at the greek style building in front of him through a crack in the window

'It looked like a massive temple in the middle of the city, it was in fact, one of the only places in the entirety of Orario that was built on top of a natural thermal pool…'

'The mystic and acclaimed place where the dreams of many man converged… The Divine Bathhouse where only the Goddesses were allowed to bath.'

'With a single glance, Silver could see many soldiers all around the bathhouse, all women, of course, making sure no one dared to take even a single step too close.'

'These girls were actually pretty famous, they were part of the Familia that built this bathhouse, and all of them are Level 3 and above.'

'The reason why there were so many personnel here was due to a single man… Or better put, God.'

'Legend portrays that long ago, a perverted God of lightning would periodically infiltrate the bathhouse to spy on the goddesses… Being beaten half to death almost every time.'

'And his actions have only made Silver's job harder.'

'No mortal would dare invade, most Gods wouldn't dare as well, to be scorned for eternity is something they would prefer not to go through.'

'They aren't like that God, they can't be so daring and have the face to walk around after being found out...'

'And Silver was now challenging this very notion, an adventure like none before!'

"I can't fucking believe I'm doing this…" He said as he tied a black bandana around his mouth

Technically, I don't need to get into the baths, only the changing section, that's where my item is, so things are simpler.

But… I might be able to hide my smell, my sounds, and my appearance by turning invisible, I can't hide my Soul.

There are many Gods with many abilities, if I'm unlucky and meet just a single one of them… They would be able to see me regardless of how much I try.

Of course, fleeing is very simple, a mater of just teleporting away, but the Goddesses would be pretty pissed, who knows what lenghts they would go to in order to find the culprit.

I have already altered my appearance, but even that may not be enough.

What if they lock onto my soul… There are several Death Gods in the world after all…

'Silver shook his head and solidified his will, vanishing from the place he stood.'

/Shua…/

'The sound of moving water… The steam rising in the air, the faint music playing in the background, and the expensive decoration all around…'

'This was indeed the most beautiful bathhouse ever made, worthy of being used by the Gods... Few would be able to contend for this spot.'

'Beauties of immeasurable level walked both naked or in very thin clothes all around, a view many men could only dream off.'

'Goddesses of many kinds and areas, but Silver ignored them all, not even sparring them a glance, he had a mission to complete and each second inside was a second more that something bad could happen.'

'Following the map given to him by Hermes, he crossed room by room, trying his best to avoid anyone, be it mortal or God alike.'

'Finally, he arrived where he wanted to be, a changing room with a small shower for the Goddesses to change and wash before getting inside the thermal pool.'

'The only thing that separated him from half a hundred Goddesses was a thin curtain on the other side of the room.'

"..."

It should be here…

Aha!

'Perhaps this would be simpler than it seemed, or so Silver believed.'

'In front of Silver was a wooden casket, decorated with many kinds of images, truly overly flamboyant for something that would only be used for clothes to be put inside…'

'But that didn't matter to Silver, whatever this was made from was irrelevant.'

I need to look for a green tag...

'He opened the casket, and as expected, it was filled with neatly packed clothes.'

'They emitted a faint fragrance, so much so even Silver was affected by it, whoever Goddess this belonged to was surely one hell of a girl.'

'One more reason for him to finish this as soon as possible, this Goddess could come back any time, albeit this was unlikely as these clothes probably belonged to the commissioner.'

'First, he pushed aside a large cloak, followed by a rather erotic dress, but silver alreaedy knew not to mind the Gods' strange sense of fashion.'

'Next, it was her underwear, a pair of rather large bras, followed by a petite pantie.'

'The longer he moved around the casket, the more affected Silver seemed to become… He felt pathetic, to be influenced by clothes... What was him? A 12-year-old pubescent boy?'

What's happening? Where is the item?

'He came to a horrifying truth... There was nothing inside!'

No way…

'It was then that he grabbed the panty, in its back was… A green tag.'

"..."

I've been had!

Once I'm done with this place... I'll show him.

'Silver was about to leave the place when…'

"How curious." Someone said behind him as if waiting for this opportunity

"?!"

I... I recognize this voice...

'Silver immediately got up, turning around to see a naked Goddess, looking at him with a flushed expression.'

(Image?)

"..."

/Freeze…/

Ma-Masaka?!…

'Silver was so shocked even the language inside his mind changed!'

'In front of him was a was beautiful… Impressively beautiful Goddess.'

'Her hair was Silver just like his eyes, her eyes were purple, her expression… Divine.'

'It was…'

"Fr…"

'But the Goddess in front of him placed her right index finger on his mouth.'

"Shiuu..." She said gently

'She approached him, speaking in his ear:'

"You move, I scream, you talk, I scream, do anything, I scream… Fufu…" She said with a flushed expression as she touched her own cheeks

"..."

DAMN YOU HERMES!

'Despite her usual calm behavior when around others, Freya seemed… Very relaxed right now.'

'It seemed she had just left the bath, small sparkling drops of water were all around her voluptuous body, releasing faint steam, mystifying her already Divine beauty.'

'Her wet hair falling on her breasts, hiding them from the world as if they were always meant to be there.'

'Everything about her, from the way she moved to the way she speaked were full of erotic expressions as if she was made for this, the fleshy representation of beauty.'

'Unconsciously, Silver dropped his eyes, trying to take a better look at her body…'

'But…'

"Not so fast." She said with a thin smile as she used her left index finger to lift his chin

"..."

My damn body is starting to...

'Without saying anything, she first touched his hair, and after having a good feel, she went to his face, saying:'

"... Your eyes are beautiful." She said slowly with a red expression

"..."

Is she… No… How can she see me?!

No matter what, I'm invisible… Freya can't…

Or can she?

'Against all odds, this was truly the first time in a long time someone had said that to his face… Freya had just hit Silver with one of the oldest lines in the book!'

'She continued, she grabbed his nose, his cheeks, and then she passed her slender finger around his lips, her expression becoming rosier by the second.'

"Fufufu..."

'She was having fun, a LOT of fun, she felt as if she was being electrified with each moment, her body shaking in a strange pleasure... Such a feeling, had she ever felt it?'

'It was truly… Her wait was all for this single moment.'

'It almost gave her the will to… Do something sacrilegious.'

"..."

Damn it all… If I were to teleport away…

'Suddenly, Freya looked straight into his eyes, without saying a thing, only a small smile.'

"..."

She won't let me escape like that…

Each moment I feel less… Is this her natural charm? Or is this the actual thing?

My thoughts are still rational, I can still remember many things…

What does she want from me?!

'What she wanted? Silver knew it very well...'

'Freya continued on her little venture, from his shoulders to his chest, and from that to his nipples and abs…'

'She even put her hand beneath his shirt, to have a direct 'feel'.'

"Mnn..."

'But it finally came… The time to go beyond his waist.'

'She immediately saw the 'dragon' erect in all of its muscular glory.'

'There was nothing Silver could do if he didn't have a reaction like this after literally what could be the most sensual girl in existence touching him…'

'What would that make him?'

'Freya is sensual enough to make straight girls bend the other way…'

"My… It seems…" She said slowly in his ears

/Bite…/

"?!"

'She lightly bit his ears!'

'Silver's expression blackened, he was using literally everything he had here.'

'In the end, he was between a rock and a hard place, on one side, it was being molested by Freya, while on the other side was leaving and having his reputation soiled forever.'

'Both were equally 'terrible' options, but in the end, perhaps…'

"!"

This is it…

'The moment he felt a certain hand grasping his Elemental Golden Orbs, he knew it was too late for anything else.'

I'm sorry everyone, I have failed you all…

Bravo six, going dark...

/Whispers…/

"..."

Hum?

Could it be…

A chance!

/THUD!/

'Using telekineses, he made a large casket fall onto the ground, causing a little bit of noise…'

"Hm?" Freya mumbled as she looked at the side

That is...

/Creak…/

'Following this, the door to the changing room was opened, revealing a woman.'

'Her hair was black, her eyes were red, and she had a rather evil look…'

'The moment she saw the naked and wet Freya, she said:'

"Oh! Freya, I didn't expect you to be here, you rarely come by." She said slowly as she gazed at her

From everyone I could've met, it was this conceited…

'Freya also looked at her, but as soon as she did that, she quickly turned to the side, only the realize to her dismay, Silver was long gone.'

'Her expression turned icy, her eyes expressionless as she said:'

"Cethlenn." Freya said in a deep tone, her eyes sparkling

"!"

What's going on with her? Did I come by at the wrong time?

'She certainly did.'

'Cethlenn immediately realized the change in her disposition, even taking a step back.'

'But what happened after was unrelated to Silver and his plight…'

/Around an hour later…/

"Please… Don't do this to me!" Hermes implored

"..."

'Silver remained silent his expression was as dark as charcoal as he looked down at Hermes.'

'Hermes was currently strapped to a stone wall in the middle of Orario's old ruins.'

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth… Empires rise, kingdoms fall, even the Gods can be forgotten..."

"There is no need to be so extreme..." Hermes said in a low tone

"It's just a prank… Bro." Silver said slowly as he turned around, walking away into the horizon

"Wait! Please! No one knows I'm here! I'll die! Asfi is occupied, it'll take at least half a day for her to notice my absence and even longer for her to find me!"

How could I know… How could I know…

"..."

'Silver's expression never changed.'

"I'm thirsty and hungry… Please! HEY! Come back!..." Hermes exclaimed loudly

'As Hermes' cries became lower and lower, Silver went back to his home, his bathroom to be precise.'

'After everything that happened, he needed to blow off some steam, on his own, he felt too guilty to do anything else.'

'This day would be erased from history by both Hermes and Silver…'

'The Bathhouse Incident.'
