The Fox Goddess



Yuki ended the call with Sylvie after finishing her conversation with her her request was something that Sylvie would never expect Yuki to say, but because it was a matter of the future of her civilization, she had no choice but to accept it even though it was such a hard request. Plus she knew that trusting Yuki was worth it even though it was a huge gamble because you can never really understand what she wants you to do, just like the time Yuki asked her if she wanted to initiate a Coup d'état on the current King of the Elf Race which definitely shocked her, but because of her willingness and personal reasons, she agreed. And it was a huge risk, but all of it was worth it as she was now the current Queen which was just a dream for her who was an illegitimate child of the previous Queen.

Now that the things that she wanted to do were done, she had to start the most important decision in her life, the decision to let Aika stay with Amane for a whole decade. It was a hard decision that to this point she couldn't still make out her mind if she wanted to separate herself as well as the others from Aika, maybe if it was just a year she could still take it, but because it needed to be at least a decade, it was more painful. She could still take that kind of pain, but what she can't take is Aika being so hurt after learning that she would be left with Amane for a whole decade without seeing them in person, and what's worse is that she might come to hate her because of what she did.

Because of all the thoughts running through her head, Yuki didn't realize that she was already in front of the door that led to the party that was currently happening, but when she finally realized that she was in front of the door, it was already too late as it opened and the people inside welcomed her warmly. This was the time when she finally realized that she had finally arrived, but it was too late for her to leave again as she had just returned and it would be impolite for her to leave again.

"You're finally back! Where did you even go, Yuki? Kurokami said that you were speaking to someone. But I didn't see anyone with you when you entered, were you perhaps calling them using a phone or a talisman?" Ayame asks as she crosses her arms with Yuki. She was worried that her daughter would miss such a happy event because of her busy life, which is why she at least wanted Yuki to ignore all of it even for a while so that she could at least enjoy her life more. After all, there's more to do than just expand her business, that is what she at least assumed, that Yuki was talking to some business partners, after all, she knows Yuki's business since she also invested some money in it. Though at first it was just support for her daughter, she didn't expect that her money would be multiplied by at least 5X in just 5 months.

"Yeah, I was talking to some people just now about some things. Don't worry Mom, I know what you are thinking. That was just too important for me to pass, that's why I accepted the call." Yuki explained calmly which helped Ayame to ease down, as she thought that Yuki was working herself too hard again which would let her be swallowed by her work alone and she wouldn't be able to give time for her family.

"Ah, is that so? What is the important thing that you have to do now? I know that I might be a little pushy right now, but I just want you to enjoy this party that they have worked so hard on. And… I want you to spend some quality time with them, don't let your work devour all your time because you might regret it in the future." Ayame said with a smile on her face as she just couldn't help but tell Yuki some things that she shouldn't ever forget.

"I know that Work is important since that is the reason why you and your family can live comfortably. But please don't forget that your company for them is more important than the money and prestige that you bring home. And I also know that I'm not really the right person to do this since I did none of those to you. But I just don't want you to do the same." Ayame said as she hugged Yuki which made Yuki's body stiff at first because she wasn't expecting it. But she simply accepted it and let the warmth of her Mother envelop her body, though it was kind of an awkward hug because Ayame was a head shorter than Yuki, and because of that, she had to bend her body.

"Gosh, you are just too tall. Even without you wearing those boots, you are too tall for me to hug. I'm envious, we share the same blood yet how can you be so tall? Isn't that unfair?" Ayame pouted once the hug was over and because of their height difference again, she still had to look up just to see Yuki's face. But when she saw the expression that she was making, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, because Yuki was clearly teasing her by smiling like that.

"Maybe I was just blessed? But Mom, even if I'm taller than you, I will still be shorter, after all, you're my Mother. So don't be sad about that." Yuki then went ahead and did something so shocking that the once lively and cheerful people around them suddenly all turned quiet. And it was all because they saw Yuki kneeling in front of someone. Never in their life that an arrogant, prideful, and cold person like Yuki actually do something like this, it was simply too shocking to think about.

"He… Hey! What are you doing!? Why are you suddenly kneeling!?" Ayame panicked after seeing Yuki kneel in front of her. This was also something that she could never imagine happening because her daughter wasn't the type of person to do something like this.

Kurokami, Fumiko, Yumie, Katsumi, and Aika were just the same out of everyone. It was just that unbelievable.

"I will only do this to those people who are worthy of it, so don't be too shocked. Because in reality… I don't give a fuck who it is, even if it's Momozano, Naragami, or the other Primordial Gods. I won't bow my head to any of them, much less kneel in front of them. None of them are worthy enough~" Yuki laughed lightly as she held Ayame's hand before finally standing again and even though her words were not too loud or too quiet, it was enough to be heard by everyone in the room. And it just set the example for them on what kind of person Yuki truly was and it was that she doesn't care about anyone unless she deems them worthy of noticing. Even if they were a Primordial God, she wouldn't care about them at all.

"Who in the Immortal Realm could say words like that? Her arrogance is simply unmatched…" Mirel sighed when he heard what Yuki just said and it also again made him fearful of Yuki. Because it really displays how terrifying Yuki was, especially her mind. She doesn't easily give in to any kind of people even if they are stronger than her, and that's what makes her terrifying. Especially her Bloodlust, her innate willingness to kill anyone. Mirel even doubts that someone could kill someone just because of a whim, but Yuki is different. She would kill anyone without feeling bad about it, even if it was a child.

"You know the answer to that question, Father. Of course, it's got to be her. But you gotta understand Father… she has the right to act like that. I mean, in all records of the Immortal Realm, have you ever seen someone with the same talent as Yuki?" Lian chuckled when she heard her Father's question and she couldn't help but laugh at him for asking such a stupid question that was already so obvious.

"Even the word Genius seems too low of a word for her. Can you even imagine it? A person whose growth is so fast that she needs to stop herself from growing too fast because it would be useless if she gets so strong without a good foundation at first, but not only that, has the mind… Has the mind of one of the greatest commanders to ever live, battle prowess that is unmatched, incredible sense in business, ruthless,  and most importantly… doesn't hesitate to do whatever it takes to get what she wants."
