The Fox Goddess



"I'm sorry! I was wrong, I shouldn't have thought about some bad words about the two of you, I'm completely at fault. I was only trying to protect my Wife because I thought she is getting burdened by all of the questions that the two of you were asking." Zirel properly apologized, but he just couldn't help but also gave his reasoning to Serene so that she knows why he got angry at the both of them. Though the real reason for him doing this is that he doesn't want to be the only one to be blamed for his actions, meaning he also wants Ayame and Serene to apologize since they were the ones who started this mess, at least that's what he thinks.

"Are you really a Primordial God? Because I don't think so. I wouldn't even call you a God considering how stupid you are. Such a single-minded person doesn't even deserve such a title of being a Primordial God, aren't you ashamed of yourself? You're already so old, but your brain is not even mature, the only thing that is running in that tiny brain of yours is all about your Wife, and that's quite pathetic. How about you go back to School for a newborn, maybe you learn a thing or two there." Serene didn't even try to hold back as she mercilessly mocks Zirel's intelligence. From her point of view, he wasn't worthy of becoming a God if that's how his mind functioned, the only thing he can think about is his Wife which was pathetic for her. Of course, she knew the underlying message that he was trying to give when he apologized to her and Ayame and to say that she was disappointed was an understatement.

"And just as I said earlier don't you fucking try to disrespect us. Because, even if you are going to be our Family Members, I will not be so lenient to your actions." Serene warned once more, and just as she said, she was not going to be as lenient as before. She released her own powers and made Zirel kiss the ground, he didn't even have the chance to retaliate as his body was already on the ground and what's worse is that Serene had even summoned four Swords that pierced through all his four limbs. All of it happened so fast that he didn't even see Serene who was already walking towards him with heavy steps.

"Now… am I making myself clear?" Serene who was already in front of Zirel puts more pressure on him as she placed her foot in his head and asked him. She didn't fear any of them even if they are the strongest being to ever live, a strength that can wipe out an entire Heaven at a flick of a finger. She was confident in her own strengths, even if she can't kill Zirel, she knows that she can inflict a wound on him that would stick with him to the very end of his life.

"Please stop! Don't hurt him anymore, I know that he can be stupid at times because of his personality. But I assure you, that he will not trouble you in the future anymore. If you even want, we will not show up in front of you in the future until both of you forgives us. We will try our best to make you forgive us as long as we can. So, please. Can you let him go now?" Alisha couldn't believe what was happening, but it was because of the powers that Serene had just shown, in all, she doesn't care about that since she doesn't like violence that much. But what she couldn't believe is his husband trying to make another mess after they had just resolved one, he was not even like this in the past. His personality greatly changed when he saw how his daughter died right in front of him, and he couldn't even do anything about it. From that moment on, he became so sensitive to everyone that he thinks everyone is an enemy if they were to try and get close to them.

It got even worse, especially now that his daughter came back alive, but she can't understand that Zirel seemed to have a grudge against Yuki's family when it should be the complete opposite. Yuki was the sole reason that Celeste can still walk in the Immortal Realm and on top of that she even gave them a little blessing that they can cherish and use to heal, and that was Aika. Aika's nature and wittiness as a child may heal the wounds that they have gathered throughout the years that Celeste has disappeared from them.

After hearing how Alisha sincerely apologized, she finally released Zirel with a sigh and she got back to Ayame's side and helped her to take care of Yuki who was still unconscious in her arms. After hearing such an apology, Seren knew that there is a hidden story about why Zirel is acting the way he is, but she doesn't care about the details about it.

"Aren't you embarrassed by yourself? You still want them to apologize to you when it is our fault? You should be even grateful to them, especially to Yuki since she is the reason why we can still hug Celeste like nothing ever happened. On top of that, she even gave us Aika, our granddaughter. GRANDAUGHTER! If you keep acting like this, we might not have the chance to see Aika in real life, we can only see her through pictures and videos! If you are okay with that, then be my guest. But let me tell you this, I want to hold my granddaughter, give her presents, and spoil her! So don't drag me into it." Alisha said in a pained voice as she disappeared from everyone's view, but when Zirel saw the pained and teary look on Alisha, his heart broke. He then immediately followed her, leaving everyone there.

"Well… since everything is taken care of. We will also take our leave. Oh, right. Before we leave, can you do us a favor, Miss Ayame? Can you not tell Yuki that we were here because we are afraid that things might escalate further? I'm not making you do it of course, if you want to tell her what exactly happened after she got unconscious, it's totally fine. You are her Mother, and an outsider like us doesn't have to power to tell you what to do with her anyway, but it would be greatly appreciated if you can hide it." Merlin approached Ayame who was still dazed after witnessing what was happening right in front of her eyes.

"Yes, of course. I was already planning on keeping a secret about what happened to her. I don't want to burden her anymore by saying that we almost got into a fight with Aika's grandparents, she's already stressed enough with what happened to her own family. And telling her what happened to us will only make things worse, and that's the last thing I want to do." Ayame didn't have any trouble with Merlin's request since that's what she already intended to do, Merlin didn't even need to make such a request.

"Alright! Thank you so much, we will take our leave now. Hope all of you have a great day." Merlin said her farewell as she also now disappeared, and after her. Momozano and Naragami also did the same and said goodbye to the two of them before they finally take their leave.
