Hugo had quenched his thirst, filling himself with cream in the process, and also creating a distraction at the same time so Itvashim could hopefully pull off the backstage EVP Blueprint heist, all according to their plan.
Strangely though, Hugo seemed to have upset some kind of middle-aged, Reverend-like guy in the process, who had tossed a tender, bulging, skin-tight cream-filled balloon-esque-bun that had exploded on his pants in retaliation, leading to the cursed cream-storm combat from the earlier chapter…
"Wait a sec." Suddenly, after a few rounds, Hugo held up a hand. Although he was holding his own, the sugar rush was beginning to wear off.
"Eh?" The Reverend was charging up his ultimate, "Unholy Spirit", but even as he continued charging, he paused for a moment to assess the latest developments.
It had been a while since he had had 'a tumble with a young man', but he had gained increasing respect for this Santa-upstart throughout the course of their battle, enough to withhold a… 'finishing blow' for now.
In fact, After Hugo had gotten his bearings, he recognised Fergus - an ARSES member - from the ARSES-R-US website, and realised that, although brawling with this Reverend guy was fun, that more importantly, this was his chance to grab another part of the EVP Blueprint!
As a result, Hugo, recalling his promise to Jill, immediately to his credit locked in, Tunnel-ing in on the Frostmaster's funnelling.
He immediately strode over and with one hand slamming with an unsanitary squelch into the wall behind, leaving behind a creamy handprint, Kabedon-ed the baker, imposing his 'present'-ce as a soggy Santa-Claus upon the frigid Frost-master, whilst simultaneously grasping Fergus' free-spraying 'nozzle' hitched at the front of his pants with his other hand, obstructing his free-flowing cream…
"Give me the Blueprint!!! Or else…" he whispered in a low, husky voice.
"I'll... rip it off." Hugo growled.
"Badness ungracious!" The Reverend swore. He hadn't heard what Hugo said, but from all appearances, a soggy Santa-Claus had just appeared, made a mess and was now assaulting a baker, even going so far as to clutch the latter's cream-spurting funnel?!
…This was…
... well, actually, too good an opportunity to pass up!!!
Their Church focused on honing and manifesting the Seven Deadly Sins - and it appeared that this Santa-Claus, whoever he was, was an absolute hidden talent and potential star recruit in the making...

"Young man, I see you have potential," The Reverend called out.
"How about you join the Church of the Seven Deadly Sins?"
