The Fox Goddess

After finding that there was nothing useful in her System Shop for her to use, she closed it and decided to find Fumiko to inform her that she was going to be away for some time, and also let her have all the time that she needed to train. She then knocked on the door and waited for her to answer, and she only entered when Fumiko gave her permission.

"Why did you still knock? This is your house right?" Fumiko who opened the door for Yuki asked confusedly why Yuki still knocked on the door and waited for her to open the door so that she could go inside. But when Yuki closed the gap between the two of them by flying near in front of her face, she blushed, but she blushed even more after hearing her answer.

"Our house." Yuki only ended that conversation with one word as she gently flicked her forehead before walking to their bed and sitting, she then tapped the empty space beside her as a sign for Fumiko to sit beside her. On the other hand, Fumiko couldn't say anything because it was something she was not expecting, but she felt a warm feeling inside her heart after hearing the word "Our house" come out of Yuki's mouth.

"Everything that I own, no matter what it is. You also own it, doesn't matter what it is, whether it is money, a weapon, or anything that I own, you can borrow it. Of course, as long as I allow you to of course. Because the thing that you might want to use or borrow from me is actually quite dangerous and needs supervision or you need to be reprimanded about it." Yuki smiled gently as she said those words.

Hearing that kind of words that were full of warmth and love made Fumiko a little teary, but she stopped herself before she could cry and just threw herself to the bed and lay down beside Yuki. After she laid down, Yuki placed her hand on her head and began to caress it slowly and gently, the two of them said nothing in those moments and just enjoyed the moment. These were the moments that Yuki wanted to protect and preserve at all times, she would do anything to keep this happiness forever, even if it meant destroying the world.

She doesn't care if she is going to be portrayed as evil if she does it, after all the world has already turned its back on her years ago. But she wasn't the type of person to take revenge against it because she finds it useless and time-wasting.

"Say… if people say that I am a bad person. Would you still be with me like someone worse than a Devil?" Yuki suddenly asked which made Fumiko shocked because just a few moments ago, the two of them were enjoying each other's company, but now she has opened such a deep question for her to answer. But even so, she still answered her.

"Of course, I told you, it before and I will say it again. It doesn't matter to me if you are Evil or Good, to me you are just you. You are Yuki, the person whom I love." Fumiko answered with a serious face as she got up and looked at Yuki in the eyes to show her sincerity. Yuki just smiled as she just now had realized that she asked a really stupid question to her, she then placed her hand on top of her head and chuckled lightly.

"Yeah, I'm sorry for asking such a stupid question. Anyway, I'm here to tell you that I will be going out for quite some time, so I hope that you will stay in the house in the meantime while you wait for me. You can also take this time to train yourself." Yuki finally said what she came here to do which was to inform Fumiko that she was going to leave.

Fumiko was not shocked by this because she could somehow already tell that the moment Yuki entered the room, she wanted to say something to her but just waited for the right opportunity to tell her. The news was not shocking at all as she knew that there was a moment when Yuki was going to be away on her own, so she just accepted it with an open heart.

"Alright, at least you are honest with me. I thought you were going to leave without saying anything like how you did back then. But it's fine, I wouldn't be able to stop you since your true and ultimate goal is to be the strongest being in this world." Fumiko just chuckled and couldn't help but berate Yuki for how she acted with her back in the days when the two of them were still not together.

But then again, they were not in any relationship, at most they were only friends. So there was no need for Yuki to report to Fumiko to wherever she was going to go or how long is she going to be away. But now that they are in a committed relationship, being honest is key to a successful relationship.

"Well… can't really refute that. But forget it, those are in the past now. I'm different now, plus we are now together so it's natural for me to say where I'm going, or at least some of it." Yuki laughed as she pinched Fumiko's cheeks after hearing her words against her that seemed to be blaming her for what she did to her back then.

"But on a serious note, I do hope that you are not going to leave, you'll only leave if it is truly necessary. I'll say this now, not to scare you but to warn you. The man that has taken a liking to you… he's not a good person, he is a scheming man with hidden motives against you." Yuki warned her, her voice containing coldness as she remembered how Daryl openly confessed his love for Fumiko.

"Hey! Don't start now, I already rejected him, so please don't be angry anymore. I don't have any eyes on anyone, I just want you and you only. Plus I already felt that something was wrong with him the moment he revealed his true identity to us, and also how he confessed his love publicly. It sounds so suspicious, I think he wants to create rumors about the two of us." Fumiko quickly went and coaxed Yuki while also giving her insights about Daryl and what he thinks of him, and her answer made Yuki smile in response.

"Yes, very smart. It seems that your time in being the President made your senses stronger." Yuki smiled as she patted Fumiko like a baby which made her puff out her cheeks in response.

"Hey! Stop treating me like a baby! Even though I am like this, I still know how to differentiate people, plus I am pretty sensitive you know. I know when someone has hidden movies or not!" Fumiko smacked Yuki's hands away as she crossed her arms and looked at her angrily.

"Alright, alright. I'm sorry for treating you like a baby. Though I'm really glad that you are still sharp and haven't lost your edge just yet even after being away from the industry for some time now." Yuki just gave Fumiko her honest thoughts.

"Well… you do have a point there, but why does it seem like you are bad-mouthing me? I'm not that bad, even if I am slow, I am still quite sharp you know. Have you forgotten that I studied and that I was the best lawyer at the time before I took over the seat?"

Fumiko was proud to say that she was the best lawyer before she took over the seat of President of Japan Of course, Yuki knows this as she was just trying to tease her a little. How could she have forgotten the woman whom she actually looked down on for acting so meekly and too kind for what a lawyer should be? But when she saw her on the court one time in real-time, she was impressed by how she easily won the case.

Even though she was meek and soft-spoken, she absolutely destroyed the other lawyer with just her words. The funny thing for her is that while she was basically destroying the other side, she was actually using honorifics for the other person which made her laugh a little. That was the first time she had ever seen something like that.

After that day, her view of the best lawyer in Japan completely changed. Her deduction skills, sensitivity, and awareness made her fearsome. She even thinks that during the time they were together, Fumiko was able to tell that she was not telling the truth.
