Death Guns In Another World

After some time, Alex was about to stop her from drinking when a lady walked into the restaurant he looked over with a puzzled expression at first before a smile appeared on her ordinary face.

''Eleanora?"

Alex was bewildered to see her. He hadn't seen her in a long time and had never expected would see her in this form.

Meanwhile, the empress glanced over but she didn't know this ordinary-looking girl so she kept drinking quietly.

Finally, she arrived before them and with a smile she said.

''Long time no see Team leader, you wouldn't blame me for interrupting your meal with this beauty right?"

For some reason, the empress became annoyed, although this woman's face was plain as far as the word plain means there was something different about her, unconsciously the empress felt pressured, and as someone who has a high status, revered whenever she go she couldn't tolerate it even though currently she was disguised and was not the empress, still her ego could not allow it.

''We are discussing something so scram.'' The empress violently interjected and Eleonora who thought she would be joining them froze on the spot immediately not knowing what to do it was only when Alex winked at her she regained her cool and smiled.

''I see. Too bad. I'll see you later team leader but I reminder you that fiery women are harder to deal with so you better watch out.'' She said before disappearing and the empress's almost blasted the table in front of her into powder. How could she not understand that Eleonora was getting back at her? However, the way she got back at her was vicious and almost made the empress reveal her identity and had her banned from her empire.

Alex could feel the smell of gunpowder in the air and he sighed thinking that women are indeed troublesome bunches. Even so, he had to diffuse the situation before it blow up and swallow him whole.

''Calm down, she is my former party member, we took a rank-up test together. You don't have to be concerned with someone like her with your humble status.''

Upon hearing Alex trying to flatter her, she was pleased and said with her mouth curled up.

''It is good that you know that and now I'm in a good mood I'll tell you a bit about our current society came to be.'' She said and Alex's interest was immediately picked up.

''Tell me.'' He said and the empress became pleased, her eyes became clear in an instant and she began to recount the Foxia tribe's history. It was not a complex story and it was exactly like he had imagined.

''The beastsmen race territories are a place where the weak are prey for the strong. Our Fox race's women are well known for our feminine charms and aren't good at the battle, so it's only natural that others would drool over us. That's why our ancestors can only rely on the strong to protect us. Back then the strongest clan was the Tiger clan followed by the Lion clan. Naturally, at that time we choose the Tiger clan, although we could not become the main wife, we gained enough status and using the resources that came with this we built our society, from a village slowly to a small kingdom, to a normal Kingdom then to the big kingdom. The latter generation because we mixed with different clans became powerful and slowly but surely our bloodline became purer, tracing back to its source in my time because I was the one with the purest bloodline I become the queen and with my wit, I brought us to higher level, from kingdom to an empire. Since five hundred years ago the tiger clan lost its hegemony to the Lion clan whose later generation became proficient with the Lightning element, a more destructive form.'' She explained and from this explanation Alex understood that Leon's clan hadn't been the strongest it was only recently they became the strongest clan, probably in Leon's grandfather's era and previously the beastsmen weren't divided into empires, and kingdoms but clans, however, something must have happened, maybe they have evolved. Still, it was interesting to see a clan previously not suitable for a battle to climb up until they reached the same height as the strongest clans (empires). To do this, you'll need more than wits and determination, they searched until they found who to stand shoulder with shoulder with the other strongest clans, and for Kuina's mother to be able to rise from kingdom rank to an empire must have not been easy and must have required a lot of efforts and Alex was in awe, the way he previously looks at his mother-in-law changed because such woman deserves respect, a lot of respect. It is like women on Earth that starts from nothing to become billionaire almost rivaling men, those women deserved respect as much as this woman in front of them.

However, Alex was not an idiot he understood that the empress must have an idea in mind for today's date, even more so after telling him about the Nine tails Fox history, and indeed it was the case.

''The reason I'm telling you this is that originally I had other plans, my daughter is even more talented than me. I was planning on handing her the throne, she would have performed more than me, maybe one day in the future becoming the strongest empire on this continent. However, she meet you and everything changed I'm grateful but I got one thing I must warn you about.''

'Here it comes.' Alex thought inwardly while outwardly putting on a serious face as he declared.

''I'm listening.''

''If you ever made her cry or have her become useless I will kill her no matter how talented or powerful you'll become. Don't doubt my words.'' She warned and Alex didn't doubt her in the slightest, he knew she could do what she said and he had no intention of antagonizing her to begin, nor he would make Kuina regret her choice, as for never making her cry it was impossible because women are emotional creatures capable of crying over something insignificant, so all he could promise was to never make Kuina regret the choice she made.

Kuina's mother smiled, pleased by this, if Alex had promised to never make Kuina cry then she would have smashed his face onto the table and harshly rebuked him, fortunately, he was sensible and didn't.

''Good, then let's continue and finally talk about why I've invited you out today.'' Kuina's mother declared and Alex nodded while thinking.

'Finally, I was getting tired of waiting.'

However, he didn't show it on his face.

''I'm listening.''

By now the two were fully focused as if they had not drunk any alcohol at all.

Kuina's mother nodded with a smile but started with a question.

''What is the strongest fox?''

Alex didn't hesitate and immediately answered.

''A fox with Nine tails.'' He gave this response because he recalled that the nine-tailed fox is hailed as the strongest fox on earth, so naturally, it should be the same thing in this world, a fantasy world.

Alex was sure that he had given the right answer when he saw her nodding with a smile but what she said following caught him completely off guard.

''Your answer is not completely wrong but only if we take this world's standard into an account.''

''Please elaborate.'' Alex said already formulating an idea of what she would say next, he was sure that like Artemia and Lilith's ancestors, they weren't originally from this world, probably from the Higher World, and indeed Kuina's mother's following sentence confirmed this assumption.

''Our Nine tails celestial fox isn't native to this world but came from the upper world. Nobody knows how but it happened, from the records left behind by our ancestors we are from the Higher world and Nine tails isn't the limit.''

Alex's eyes widened at this ridiculous claim as he didn't remember that there was something beyond nine tails in Earth's folklore; still, it was to be expected, nine tails would never be the end as it wouldn't be a fantasy world otherwise.

''The reason I easily accepted your union is that well aware that your ambition never lay here and goes beyond Mysthia's World, that if she were to follow you she will experience many things and one day reaches our ancestral land and one day reach the ultimate form, the beyond ninth tail, the tenth tail, turning into an original fox. Original Fox's status is compared to High humans, Ancestral dragons, and High elves, they are part of the original ancestral beasts such as phoenixes and other beasts on the other side, the Higher world.'' She explained.

Alex was pleasantly surprised because from this conversation he had learned a lot of new things.

''Don't worry now that I've learned about it I'll do anything in my power to help her she is my woman after all. The more powerful she became the happier I'll become.'' He declared and Kuina's believed in this more than if he had declared that he was doing this in the name of love, she was not a fool, she was happy with this answer for now because she was sure that her daughter would once manage to win this man's heart.

''Good, I'm liking you more and more. Please take care of my daughter as she is currently the one with the purest bloodline among us nine tails celestial fox.''

''Don't worry I will.'' Alex didn't even bat an eye before promising.

''Good but be sure to be careful, because of her purest bloodline I don't know what might have you have to manage your harem well.'' Kuina's mother added to Alex's confusion, still he answered despite the confusion.

''Don't worry I'll manage somehow.''

''That's good then.'' She said with a mysterious smile, her warning seemed to be hinting at something but Alex was unable to see what she was hinting so he decided not to think about it anymore, maybe he was simply overthinking.
