(Shorty chappy today. Don't plan on this arc being very long. Will likely finish it up in 1-3 chapters.
Upon waking up, Axel recalls everything that happened last night as he observes the sleeping naked bodies of several beauties around him. He goes in for another round with the only one that was 'awake'. She introduced herself as, "Kiara Sessyoin, Legend of calamity-Lust". The extra detail makes Axel raises an eyebrow so he asks what the fox girl is and she openly proclaims that she represents nature and animals. "Her calamity is the destruction of humans to pave the way for beasts to propagate the lands. This is impossible and thus she assists humans and other sentient races to suppress monsters."
"Why are you telling me this so openly?"
"Well of course I want you to fall for me. Melt into my body, my lust, your desires. Until I am queen and conqueror of the world" Her open reveal urges him to screw her brains out for another few rounds where he found out she can take his whole length down her throat. An impressive feat that could very well make him fall for her but he retains his will and soon enough finishes up the session.
He spanks the open ass of the lust goddess that has been playing at being asleep. Kiara herself waves him off and blows him a kiss with a lovely rosy expression of her face.
Axel can only shake his head as he wraps up Kaya in the bedsheet and then sling her over his shoulder as he uses a pocket pebble to teleport to the entrance of the love hotel. He then treks through the red light district. He keeps asking around and eventually finds a clue to the location of the secret friend. He has his shades infiltrate the specific building that belongs to the Ishtar familia.
He soon enough finds a petite young girl with golden blonde hair. A Renard like Kaya which means she has a pair of fox ears but only a single tail unlike Kaya.
He sneaks into the room as the young lady is reading a book to herself. He peeks over and finds the book is Orario Histoire, the signature book depicting the argonaut and other heroes. She seems to have a gentle smile on her. Axel is discovered as her tail suddenly sways and brushes past his leg. She looks up to find Axel towering over her. Reading the book with her.
"Turn the page if you're done" he suddenly says when he notices that she noticed him.
"Um….who are you" she asks.
"My names Axel, Axel Gram" he introduces himself as he takes a step back and bows.
"Your the Titan?"
"Ding, Correct in one."
"Is it true you fought a giant monster by yourself since you can also become a giant?" the pitch of her seems to rise in a bit as stars shine in her eyes.
"I've fought multiple giant monsters. I don't even have to become a giant to do so either. There was the goliath when I was level 2. There was Antares and then Amphisbaena when I was level 3 and I've recently finished off Antares." He clarifies and describes a bit of his feats.
She is starstruck before she asks, "Aisha told me about you a few days ago. what is someone like you doing here? The red light district is closed in the morning."
"I came to find the unnamed old friend of my own friend. You matched her description so the issue now becomes. Do you know a Mikoto from the Takemikazuchi familia?"
"Mikoto-san!!!" she jumps up onto her dainty feet as she grabs his sleeves"
"is Mikoto ok?"
"I'll take your words as a yes, you are the missing friend. Well my job is done. Just need to do one last thing." He says as he grabs the fox girl by the waist and 0uts her on his other shoulder before jumping out the window.
The girl is too shocked by what I'd going on and how fast they are moving that it is only when they arrive just outside the red light district.
"Alright, there we are. Now let's go see Mikoto."
"wait, why did you do this? Your going to get into trouble."
"What kind of trouble can I get into? I'm pretty much the strongest adventurer in the city." He responds
"Aisha is level 4 and Phyrne is level 5. And…I too am a member of their familia."
"I am not worried by those of the same level as me and even less by someone who is only one level above me. Or do either them commit feats similar or better than my own?"
The fox girl is rendered mute but then touches her collar.
"They will soon find me and bring me back anyways"
Axel summons the elf shade to analyze the girl and quickly learn that the collar is a magic item. Channeling gluttony on his finger, he touches the collar as it is rapidly drained until it turns brittle and breaks.
She has a shocked expression on her face which quickly becomes red. She suddenly asks, "why are you so kind to me? I'm unclean, I'm not the type of woman that a hero should be with." She proclaims with tears in her eyes.
A set of arms suddenly wrap around her as she is brought closer to as she is pulled against Axels chest.
"It's alright, it's not a matter of being worthy, your obviously a prisoner, a victim, you deserve to be saved regardless. That is the difference between a hero and a legend. Heroes rise up in times of need to save people but legends do so for their own desires. I want to help you so I will"
His words reassure her as she let's loose the waterfalls onto his shirt. He hugs her more as his ears twitch.
"Enjoying the show everyone?" He calls out as he looks up to find roughly 30 amazoness surrounding him. All of them female, but they have nervous expressions as they recognize who or what they are facing to recover the girl.
The fox girl tries to break out of his grip upon hearing his words as she believes that a threat has arrived.
"Return Haruhime to us Titan. You have kidnapped one of ours today. Hand her over or pay the price! " One brave amazoness proclaims from the crowd. Many immortals are looking outside their windows at the show. Afterall. The red light district borders the immortal district, so this is already their home turf.
"I didn't think keeping slaves was legal in Orario. I'm sure your sins are worse than mine, but in the situation where this is no apparent. What can you do to me? You have no authority in other businesses so my daily life won't change. You can't beat me in open combat nor war game. What will you do?" He provides a counter argument which capitalizes on their fears and worries before a hearty monstrous laugh resounds through the area.
Stomping is heard until a figure makes their way through the red light district gateway. Axel's smile disappears as green lines appear on his head while other Amazoness give this person a wiiiiide berth. Haruhime the fox girl also shakes in terror upon seeing this figure.
In the far regions of the red light district. A tanned goddess of love is gazing off to the distance with clenched teeth. A glass of wine in hand while the messenger god Hermes is hiding behind a bed, his face in 'shame' as he had just been manhandled by the goddess opposite of him this past night. Her own desires enhanced by whoever it was that caused such womanly moaning to ring out through the night. The situation has escalated due to the goddess finding out Haruhime has been kidnapped.
The goddess Ishtar calls out to her 2nd in command, "Where are Aisha and the other executives?!!!!" She rages which only makes the messenger wince more.
"My goddess, news has arisen that they have been found in Paradiso. The lustful immortals sanctum." Tammuz Belili the only male, vice captain and personal attendant to the goddess Ishtar states.
"It is likely they were attracted there due to the events of last night" the goddess only grits her teeth further in indignation as the news that two immortals, a goddess and her own familia members had been defeated by a single man in bed. Such a thing is disgrace for any amazoness as they were meant to be the dominator. The aggressor. The Victor. Such is her own rivalry with the goddess Freya.
To compete, who is the most beautiful, most charming, most attractive. The best. That is her own obsession and why she will use any means to overpower her rival.
