Kitsune of the Blue Sun

Chapter 187- A Date to Soothe the Soul

[Pram POV]

Sighing heavily, I looked at Freya with a weary gaze. She was cut up and breathing heavily after another sparring session with Margaret.  I was sitting in our room, and she had just returned and was about to bathe herself.

“Freya, you are pushing yourself too much.” (Pram)

“…” (Freya)

“Look at me, love. Tell me what’s on your mind.” (Pram)

“I…feel unneeded.  We’ve been here for a while and Keeno hasn’t asked us to do anything. Sure, we’ve helped a bit, but not as much as her spirits or Margaret’s knights.  We’re supposed to be helping her, but so far, we’re just here for the ride.” (Freya)

I patted the spot next to me and Freya sat down. Moving over I pulled her down and rested her head in my lap and began running my fingers through her hair while I began to heal her injuries.

“You’re overthinking it, my love. We’ll have our time to shine, we just have to wait for the opportunity. I DO get what you feel, I really do, but patience is key in something like this.  I know you want to achieve something, but neither of us are equipped to deal with political movements and assassinations like what’s been going on so far.” (Pram)

She had her eyes closed but she nodded her head, though I could tell she was still antsy to do something. To move around.

“Hmm.  How about this, since you feel like you need to do something, how about I give you a mission?” (Pram)

She opened one eye and looked at me.

“What kind of mission?” (Freya)

“Take me around and give me a good time today. I’ll reward you with myself if you succeed.” (Pram)

This perked her right up.  She hooped out of my lap and practically ran into the bathroom to clean herself up.   About an hour later and she was getting dressed, though I was tempted to change up the mission after seeing her right now. She was currently buttoning up her shirt while her panties peeked out from the hem every so often. Especially when she turned her back to me and her tail waved. It took everything for me not to pounce on her.

“You know I won’t stop you, right?  I can tell what you want to do.” (Freya)

“Oh?  Confident Freya today!  I like it.  And seeing you so confident like this, I’ll hold back my pouncing. Though I want to see you like this again tonight. That is nonnegotiable.” (Pram)

“That can be arranged, though if we find something I want you to wear tonight while out, I expect you to do the same.” (Freya)

“We going to shops for that kind of stuff?” (Pram)

“Seeing how this city and its leaders are, I wouldn’t be surprised if things like that are in every shop, no matter the place we go.” (Freya)

“That’s fair. We’ll see.” (Pram)

Freya, unfortunately, finished getting dressed and turned to me.

“Enjoy the show?” (Freya)

“More than you know.” (Pram)

“Guess I’ll get to enjoy one as well, seeing as you’re not dressed to go yet.” (Freya)

Rolling onto my back while looking at Freya upside down I smiled at her.  She blushed lightly and I noticed her checking me out.  Rolling back over I got on my hands and knees and crawled to the edge of the bed, my tail standing up and swaying slowly.  Freya walked up to me in a light daze, and I sat up more, grabbing her shoulders. I brought my face right next to her ear.

“*purring noises*” (Pram)

“…” (Freya)

I felt Freya start to shiver and she grabbed my shoulders and pushed me back.  Falling onto my back on the bed, I opened my arms for her, but she didn’t jump at the chance and turned away, her ears flat and her tail puffed up.

“Hehehe.” (Pram)

“D-do you even want to go out?” (Freya)

“I do.” (Pram)

“T-then w-why are you m-making this so hard?” (Freya)

“Cause your reactions are cute and I love teasing you.  Now, seeing as I got what I wanted at this moment, I’ll actually stop and get dressed.” (Pram)

I got off the bed and entered the bathroom. If I stayed in there too much longer, I’d fall for my own provocations and just attack Freya where she stood.  Though I didn’t fail to notice Freya moving to change her clothes again just as I shut the door.

‘…No, Pram, you can have the final push tonight!  Don’t burst through the door and pin her down!  Willpower!!!’

Doing my best to calm myself down, I eventually tamed my urges and got dressed. When I exited the bathroom Freya hastily kicked something under the bed but I decided to pretend I didn’t see what it was, though I couldn’t stop my tail from curling happily.

“*cough*Shall we go?” (Freya)

“Let’s.” (Pram)

Leaving the room and eventually the compound itself, we were greeted by a heavy gust of wind that started to blow the dress I was wearing up.  Pushing down the front so nothing showed, Freya dutifully stood behind me and held the back down, though it seems she saw something if her blush was anything to go by.

“Dark blue is unfair, Pram.” (Freya)

“Well, I’d be considered a pervert if I wore what I wanted to wear for you, but whose to stop me later?” (Pram)

“…” (Freya)

“Fufufu.  Wondering what I mean?” (Pram)

Freya slowly nodded her head.

“You’ll find out tonight.” (Pram)

“Tease.” (Freya)

“Hehe.” (Pram)

I wrapped my tail around Freya’s waist, and we started walking. Thankfully we’d done this enough that we naturally started walking in sync, though I somewhat miss the times when we’d stumble into each other.  Once we finally got into the city proper, we were greeted with the sounds of people going about their business in a rather charming change of pace.

“Seeing something normal like this feels a bit weird, when you consider the things we know about this place.” (Freya)

“I agree, though it’s also kind of nice.” (Pram)

Freya nodded before grabbing my hand and moving forward. Meandering into the crowd, a few people looked over at us and our clear display of affection. Some of them smiled while some looked on in annoyance. There were even a few that seemed to want to kill us because we were together, if the words ‘go explode’ were any indication.

“I think some people are jealous.” (Pram)

“Heh.  They should be, I get to have you all for myself, meaning they can’t have you.” (Freya)

“Hehehe.  A display of possessiveness, 10 points.” (Pram)

“Pfft.  Only 10?  I thought I’d be worth more.” (Freya)

“Well, you don’t really need to worry since you existing is worth infinite points, so it’s moot.” (Pram)

“Hehehehe.  And here I though I was supposed to be the one giving YOU a good time.” (Freya)

“You are.  Especially when we’re both teasing the jealous ones still watching us.” (Pram)

“Guess we meet to be sweeter if we’re to repel them.” (Freya)

I was about to reply when I felt Freya’s lips touch my cheek. This made me blush since I wasn’t expecting such a public display of affection from Freya.  This also made those jealous stares intensify before finally leaving.  Glancing over at Freya, she was blushing even more than I was, so she wasn’t exempt from her own actions. Deciding to move on before anything else happened, I pulled Freya forward.  We walked through the crowd for a bit when Freya retook the lead. After walking a bit more, Freya lifted her head and sniffed around. I tilted my head a bit when I smelled what she did.

“Want to check it out?” (Freya)

“Yeah. Smells good.” (Pram)

Following our noses we ended up in front of a bakery. Just like all the other buildings in the city, it was made of a white stone, though this building was one of the ones with blue tiled channels running down the sides with water constantly flowing down them.  The smell of baking bread wafted out of the open windows, enticing all who passed by to turn their heads and take in the smell. Freya walked up and opened the door before stepping aside and allowing me to enter first. I smiled and curtsied a bit to show my thanks before stepping in.

The smell was even stronger inside and it made me hungry. Stepping beside me again, Freya sniffed the air again and smiled.  Looking around, the place was surprisingly high class. Long counters lined the back wall with equally long glass shelves showing off the various bread that was made and served here. On the side opposite the bread wall was a roped off section that had three big stone ovens, two of which were cold while the third had a fire blazing inside. Two people stood over there kneading dough while a third waited with a pensive look.

“That’s enough, now start rolling it.  Once it’s flat, shape it.  When you are done, let me see and I’ll judge if it’s worth baking. If it isn’t, you’ll star over again.”

Turning his back on the two, I assume, apprentices, he saw the two of us standing there.

“Ah, customers. I apologize for not noticing you. How may we serve you?”

I was about to step forward and speak when Freya held me back and stepped forward.

“We were just curious about this place when we smelled the baking.” (Freya)

I don’t know if he just took a second to figure out we were on a date, or if something in Freya’s words clued him in on it, but he nodded his head with a knowing smile.

“Well, I’m glad the smell coming from here was enticing enough to lure a nice young couple in.  If you are looking for a nice thing to snack on while you walk, allow me to recommend some of these.”

He walked over to a smaller glass shelf I didn’t notice before and took out two small paper cones filled with small bread balls with what looked like salt sprinkled on them.

“These are something I came up with called zels.  Perfect snacks the eat while wondering through the shopping district or feed to a lover.”

I was very interested, especially since I could smell those were very fresh.  I glanced over at Freya, and she nodded.

“We’ll take two.” (Freya)

“Thank you for your business. Will that be everything, or are you interested in more?”

“That’s it for now, but we will definitely come back. Well even bring a friend over who has a bottomless appetite. And, if you’re able to make something sweet for her, she’ll become a regular.” (Freya)

“Well, if your friend likes honey, then we can do it, but that’s about all we can do for sweet. Sugar isn’t something we get often in this city after all.  But, don’t let that discourage you from recommending us to your friend. Thankfully we get cactus bees or even honey would be difficult.”

Freya paid for the snack, and we left after a few more sweet words with the shopkeeper. After we left, we heard him raise his voice at the apprentices. Apparently, they got distracted when they noticed us and let their oven’s fire die.

Picking up one of the treats, I popped it in my mouth and the gentle salty taste mixed with a very lite sweetness from a drizzle of honey on a pillowy bed of freshly baked bread. It was wonderful and before I knew it, half of my cone was gone. Looking over at Freya, I saw she was in the same predicament.  When she noticed my staring and looked at me, we both laughed.

We continued on while snacking on your treat. Every so often we’d feed the other a bite and giggle because of it. After we’d finished our snacks and cleaned our hands, we walked around the shopping district we’d entered a bit ago.  Most of the shops here seemed to be extremely expensive and honestly not worth our time.  A few did peak out interests. Stepping into those places, I got to feast my eyes on a Freya trying on different outfits, all of which we bought. Freya even sneakily bought something from one of the more risqué shops we visited, though she wouldn’t show me what. I also got a bunch of new outfits, though we’d have to ask Keeno and Amaterasu to help make them more durable with the help from their friend.

After visiting a few dozen more shops, we finally returned to the compound. I had a wonderful day, so I considered Freya’s mission a success.  All that’s left to do is give her the reward.  When we got to the room I flopped onto the bed and lazily rolled onto my back.

“Freya, the verdict is in and you have succeeded in your mission. Feel free to claim your reward.” (Pram)

I smiled seductively at her and saw her tail go stiff.

“Um…before that, would you mind trying something for me?” (Freya)

“Oh?  Sure.” (Pram)

Sitting up, I saw Freya remove a bundle from her storage ring. It was a light grey, and I couldn’t really tell what it was, but when she unfolded it I understood. It was a kind of sweater with a very wide open back and made to be extremely revealing. I looked Freya in the eyes, and she looked away while blushing heavily.  It was cute.  Getting up from the bed, I took the sweater from her and walked into the bathroom.  Before shutting the door completely, I stuck my head back into the room.

“Get comfortable, Freya, I’ll be back soon.” (Pram)

Shutting the door again, I undressed and looked at the sweater. Smirking, I also too out some of my special underwear so I could give Freya a night she’ll never forget.

Chaos Realm:

…Why is this the first thing we see when we get home?

Order: No clue.  I’m just glad Astraea is with Evelyn right now.

Same…*sigh*

Order: And our other two resident foxes are having their own fun.

Yeah…want to drink some coffee while looking in a few other Chaos Seas?

Order: Sure. It’s been a while since we just had time with one another after all.

Yeah. Let’s watch Aiko, she’s fun.

Order: What about this Vale person?

We can watch her too. Wanna try that split screen feature?

Order: Sure.

*walks into the kitchen to make some coffee*

Order: *smiling*Finally, some relaxing alone time with Payto. Maybe we can dilate time so it’s a bit more than a few days?
