Golden Fox with System

"Huh? What are you talking about? Can't you see that she and I are already together? How could you say you want to be with me too?" Theo said with sincerity. That was what he really thought about it.

Hearing this, the most affected was not Ariana, but Shina! She looked toward Theo with teary eyes, and then she ran at an alarming speed toward the orphanage house.

"Shina, wait!" Yuki said and ran after her. But before leaving, she looked at Theo and sighed and said, "Idiot…"

The sisters Aine and Nanda, also followed immediately after Shina, since they were quite worried about her.

Ariana, who was a little shaken to see all this, but soon murmured in her heart, "Maybe the third?"

She didn't overthink about Theo's words about him being with someone already, because, in this world, it is natural for powerful men to have more than one wife. But of course, she knew she needed to change Theo's train of thought. She thought Shina could help a lot with that, and realized that Yuki was not against Theo being with Shina, apparently.

Ariana had already heard of Theo. The sisters Aine and Nanda, and many others in the city had listened to the rumours about the infamous Golden Fox. So she knew that if nothing unfortunate happened, he would become very powerful in the future. Not that he wasn't already, but his current power was limited only to the stronger individuals of this city, yet the world they live in was vast! This city was far from being one of the strongest.

Theo, who saw Shina run away, and was called "idiot" a second time, by Yuki… he didn't know what to do. Of course, Theo had already realized Shina's feelings for him. How could he not? But he had already decided to stay with Yuki, so how could he return them?

But he got even more confused… Yuki had just now called him an idiot because he said he had already accepted her feelings even though he knew Shina's feelings? Or was it because she saw no problem with him staying with Shina too? Theo's thoughts were in chaos.

But in his mind, he thought it was the first possibility. Theo didn't believe Yuki would be okay with him being with another woman, because he felt it was natural to want the person you love to only have eyes for one.

After a long silence.

Ariana who was looking at Theo's continually changing expressions, one time he was frowning, another time grimacing. Although she found it a bit funny and charming, asked, "Theo, you, what do you think about Shina?"

Inside the orphanage.

Yuki arrived in a room where she found Shina lying on a bed, she was crying a little loudly while sobbing.

Yuki sighed heavily, thinking Theo was an idiot for making her cry like this and approached Shina. Yuki sat on the bed next to her, pet Shina's beautiful blue hair gently and tenderly said, "Shina, everything will work out! I'll help you, so you don't have to cry okay?"

Shina hugged Yuki's waist as she still cried. She said, "But don't you see how Theo said he can't be with anyone other than you, Yuki? I had already prepared for this to happen, but still, it hurts too much just thinking that I can't be with him too… my chest is aching, Yuki…"

Embracing Yuki even harder and she continued to speak amid her sobbing, "I don't want him to hate me… even if it is just as friends, I still want to be with you both, but why does it hurt so much? I thought I'd resolved myself to it… but it just hurts me so much, Yuki!" Finishing speaking Shina began to wail even louder.

The sisters who were watching from the doorway also began to get their eyes wet, feeling the pain Shina was feeling. And before they even realized tears were flowing from their eyes.

Yuki had tears in her eyes too, she could clearly feel that Shina loved him so much!

After Yuki managed to calm her down a little, "What do I do, Yuki? Now Theo must have realized my feelings! What if he starts to hate me? I… I couldn't stand to be hated by him, Yuki!" She said, frightened.

"Calm down, Shina, how could Theo hate you?" Yuki wiped the tears from Shina's eyes and continued: "Theo could never hate you because of this!"

Yuki smiled lovingly and said, "You love him a lot, right?"

Taking a deep breath, trying not to cry again, Shina replied, "Of course! I just love him so much!"

"Then you need to tell him that!" Yuki smirked, "And if he says he can't stay with you anyway, then I'll help you beat him up, okay?"

"Haha! Wow, Yuki, it's just like you to make me laugh at a time like this!" Shina finally smiled.

Sisters Aine and Nanda had also approached them and hugged Shina.

Aine then said, "Let's go to the bathroom, you need to wash your face."

"Okay," Shina agreed.

Back to Theo and Ariane.

She asked, "Theo, you, what do you think about Shina?"

"What do you mean?" Theo replied.

"If you were to say whether you like her or not?" She asked.

"Huh? Of course, I like her, Shina is someone very important to me!" Theo replied.

"Did you hear that, Shina?" Ariana said jokingly, but her eyes showed surprise when Shina appeared in front of the orphanage door, just as Theo said he liked her.

Of course, Theo had already noticed Shina's arrival, and he said that knowing she was listening because that was what he really felt for her. He genuinely liked her, but he had already accepted Yuki's feelings for him and not so long ago either. So how could he dare to think of staying with Shina too?

"Really, Theo? Do you really like me?" Shina couldn't believe what she just heard.

"Yes, as I said before, I like you, and you are very important to me too!" Theo said and continued, "But I already…"

Yuki interrupted and said, "I don't mind letting Shina being with you too, Theo!"

"Huh? Are you serious, Yuki?" Theo couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes, of course! You have no problem with that either, right, Shina?" Yuki smiled as she asked.

"Of course!" Shina nodded quickly in agreement. How would she care? It was all she wanted most!

Theo sighed and gave up on denying it anymore. Since they agreed on it, as a man, he couldn't back down now, right? He approached Shina and hugged her.

"T-Theo…?" Shina was taken aback by the pleasant surprise, and her face became totally flushed.

"Well, how can I say this… please take care of me from now on? Hmm… I'll do my best to make you happy, too, okay?" Theo smiled, warmly.

Yuki also approached and hugged them as she said, "You can bet on it!"

"Ufa. Now that it's all settled, Theo must accept me too!" Ariana approached said.

Theo looked at her strangely and said, "Huh? Of course, the answer is still no!"

She showed her beautiful pink fragrant tongue to him. "Tsk! We'll see soon enough, I'll make you fall in love with me yet! I will never give up!"
