I've Turned Into A Fox Girl?

Wolfy was shocked when he heard what Himeko said as this would blatantly go against what Shaman wants and no way Shaman or Elysia let Himeko do that.

"Oh okay, but are you sure?" The words that came out of Shaman's mouth baffled Wolfy.

'No, Himeko can't be controlling them.' Wolfy was at a loss as it was not something Shaman would say as he was always treated like a son.

"I'm sure it will be fine, I can look after him while we continue." Himeko had the same smile that reeked of evil and Wolfy could not help but shiver. Wolfy turned to Shaman to plead for help but before he moved his head he realized that would make Himeko suspicious of him so he decided just to use telepathy.

'Mother please don't leave me alone with her, please i'm begging you.' Shaman was confused by his unwillingness but she could not help herself think that nothing was wrong but a nagging feeling in the back of her head was telling her otherwise.

Shaman felt conflicted as she had two conflicting thoughts but then suddenly a notification rang out.

[Blessing of the fox has been activated]

[Removes any mind control/influencing magic or items on the user, once they begin to be aware of the effect]

[Other uses are still hidden]

Shaman was not able to read any of it, other than the word blessing of the fox before her head started to hurt.

Shaman grabbed her head and grunted in pain, Himeko went to her side in worry as she was unsure what was happening.

The thoughts Shaman was having about agreeing with Himeko faded and felt like her mind had cleared up but before she could say anything Wolfy spoke to her.

'Shaman don't tell her anything and just say you are not feeling well, I think Himeko had you under a magic spell of some sorts.' Wolfy could see that something triggered and hoped it was Shaman breaking free under whatever trance Himeko had put her in. Luckily his guess was right as Shaman seemingly was able to think clearly and Wolfy words helped her understand the kind of situation.

'Okay I understand, but what the hell is Himeko doing to us?' Shaman had many questions as nothing noticeable happened but she somehow managed to fall into some trap. Resentment also started to fill her heart as the memories of what Himeko had done were plain awful but she somehow accepted this behaviour.

"Shaman are you alright?" Himeko was confused about what happened but some irritation could be seen on her face.

"I- I think I need some rest, the new ice skills, they took up quite a bit of mana." Shaman thought up an excuse and Himeko seems to have bought it. Shaman had also restrained herself from lashing out as the urge to kill her grew.

'She could have saved Wolfy from fatal harm and not put us through all that dungeon shit which was clearly too hard for us to clear.' Thoughts flooded her mind as she gritted her teeth.

"I guess you are right, let's head back for now, it seems like we need to do a few days of meditating so we can improve your mana." Himeko gave in and stood up helping Shaman up. Elysia had grabbed a hold of Wolfy and stood next to Shaman.

Himeko took them outside and they made their way back to the tower.

***

The same girl that had assassinated the spy was currently laying down in what looked like a living room inside the tower, playing with her purple tipped hair on a couch.

"Urggg when will Himeko get here, I need to report to her but she is too busy taking out the 2 cuties." The girl vocally complained and leaned her head back over the arm of the couch.

"When will she introduce me to them, they look like fun to hang around with and are also tier 4, perfect partners for the dungeon." The girl had started to wave her legs around slapping the couch out of boredom waiting for Himeko's return.

Finally after waiting for so long Himeko began to appear in the room and the girl instantly sat up and looked over the couch to the middle of the room where Himeko was going to appear.

Himeko came out of the fireball with the 2 fox girls and a wolf and the girl instantly became excited as this would be the first time she would be meeting the 2 girls.

Himeko looked over and saw her and was confused why she was there.

"Clara, why are you here, aren't you meant to be at the institute." Himeko looked even more annoyed but Clara paid no attention to it.

"I was but I thought that would take forever so I thought I would meet you here right away plus it is urgent." Clara leaned over the couch crossing her arms and resting her head on her arms.

"Tch, fine what is it?"

"More spies have come into the city and they seem to be following the two cuties behind you." Clara winked at the 2 fox girls that were curiously looking at her Which caused Elysia's face to go dark a little as she saw this as an attempt at picking up Shaman.

"Woah there, I'm not trying to steal your girl or anything, I'm not into that." Clara raised herself, putting her hands up as she could clearly see what Elysia was thinking from her face. Shaman had let out an awkward laugh as it's been a while since Elysia had acted like that.

'I forgot Elysia seems to have yandere traits.' She shook her head as she could feel the headache coming.

"Hmph." Elysia turned her head and pouted a little.

Himeko had let out a sigh as she did not want Clara to meet the girls yet but it seemed like it was too late.

"This is Shaman the white fox and Elysia the black fox, the wolf is also a companion, his name is Wolfy." Himeko did brief introductions as she wanted to get Clara out and a smile could be seen on Clara's face.

"Wolfy? Who the hell named him, Nyx would have been a better name." Clara giggled a little but Shaman actually considered what Clara said as she only called him Wolfy since she thought Wolfy would stay a wolf and not gain a human form or speak.

'I'll keep this name in mind for when Wolfy gets his human form.'

"Anyway the name is Clara." She stopped her laughter and stood up to introduce herself.

"Well anyway I should be off otherwise Himeko may blow a fuse so I will see you around." Yet again she did another wink causing Elysia to stare Clara down.

"I will meet up with you in a moment, hurry up and get out of here." Himeko wanted to force her out herself but she refrained.

"Hehe~ Cya later." Clara clapped her hands and soon purple lightning appeared and she soon disappeared.

Shaman and Elysia were impressed until Himeko spoke up.

"Stop trying to show off, you tier 4 good for nothing, get down from the roof and leave normally." Himeko yelled out and stomped the floor causing Clara to fall from the ceiling.

Clara had landed on the couch upside down showing what she was wearing underneath her dress. Clara realized this and quickly sat up straight with her face bright red.

Shaman wanted to say something but felt like she would get axed by Elysia if she did so she refrained from it.

Clara slowly walked her way to the door and when she reached it she dashed out.

"Gosh that girl is a handful." Himeko grabbed her head.

"Really? I kinda like her and seeing that she is a tier 4 like you said why doesn't she join us for training." Shaman also wanted to see if she was also under the same trance as she was but it seems like Himeko was rather against them talking.

"If you really want it is fine, but don't complain to me when you regret it." Himeko clearly did not want them to train together as there was some reluctance in Himeko's voice.

"I don't see a problem." Shaman kept pushing it and it seemed to work.

"Whatever, she will show up anyway. I need to go somewhere else. I'm sure you guys are fine on your own from here." Himeko seemed like she had enough and wanted the day to be over.

Himeko had clicked her fingers and vanished leaving the group to themselves.

"Let's head to our room. There are a few things we need to discuss about Himeko." Shaman wanted to see if she could break Elysia's trance.

"Oh okay, what is it?" Elysia was rather confused as she noticed Wolfy and Shaman were acting weird earlier. Although Himeko did not pick up on it Elysia was able to tell that something happened but did not bring it up.

"I'll tell you in a moment but let's get out of here." Shaman grabbed Elysia's arm and pulled her along heading upstairs to their room.
