Golden Fox with System

Little Yui tilted her head to the side and asked cutely, "Is Daddy naughty?"

Theo was shaken by her question. He looked toward Shina but just saw her with her eyes closed sitting on the floor, pretending to be meditating. "You…" Theo was speechless.

Theo sighed heavily and smiled at Little Yui and said, "Of course not! Shina was just joking."

"Ohh! Hehe ~ Shina is a prankster just like Ariana!" Little Yui smiled broadly at that.

"Haha! Yes, she is!" Theo smiled.

The Shina who was pretending to be meditating shuddered at those words.

Yuki and Zaika who heard this couldn't help laughing either, but Zaira was a little embarrassed to be seen naked by Theo. Although she wasn't like that when she was in her original wolf form, it feels very different since she now looks human. She felt completely exposed to him. It was a very shameful new feeling for her.

Theo approached Zaira and said with a smile, "You look beautiful, Zaira!"

Zaira replied in surprise, "…T-Thank you!"

"Huh? Are you interested in Zaira too, Theo?" Yuki asked with a smile that wasn't a smile.

Surprised by Yuki's question and seeing her expression, Theo scratched his cheek and said, "That's not… I said that because I really thought she looked beautiful!"

Hearing Theo's response, Zaira became even more embarrassed.

"Oh, I'm not saying you can't, but just don't do it if you don't love her, okay?" Yuki finished speaking with a kind smile.

"Of course, I promise!" Theo answered, seriously. He didn't want to go after a girl without loving her. That's why Theo didn't accept Ariana's 'love' for him. Even if he thinks she's gorgeous.

Theo started to not really understand Yuki anymore. Well, not that he's dissatisfied that Yuki is beginning to have more of an opinion. Before, she basically just followed what he said without complaint. Well, her knowledge of things was also as limited as his. But now it was different. She was learning new things all the time, especially here at the Orphanage, and who would be unhappy to discover new things from your loved one?

In Shina's case, it very different. Theo still didn't know if he loved her as much as he loved Yuki, but Theo knew that he didn't want to see her with another man. So it wouldn't be wrong to say that he started to have romantic feelings for her too, right? Well, he thought that was the case.

But still, he thought Shina was very young since she was still only 15 years old, although in this world 15 years was already considered an adult. He thought it would be better to require her to be at least 16 years old before they took things further…

Nodding with satisfaction, Yuki didn't talk about it any further because it was getting late and they hadn't slept yet.

Soon after, they left the Dimensional Room.

In the bedroom, they each went to their respective beds to get some sleep. Well, Little Yui went to sleep with Yuki; Zaira, who now had her human form, went to sleep with Shina in the double bed; Theo was sleeping alone in the single bed; and Zaika, Theo had bought her a very comfortable round mattress, which made her pretty happy.

The next morning.

After bathing and breakfast.

"Theo, are you leaving now?" Yuki asked.

"Yes, I'll see what this Orc Village looks like, and I'll be right back!" Theo replied.

"Daddy, can Yui really not go with you too?" She asked, head down

Theo smiled kindly and put two fingers to her forehead and said, "Next time, definitely! This time, I'll be going alone, okay?"

"…Okay." Little Yui nodded.

"Don't worry! I'll be back soon, I promise!" Theo patted her head and smiled.

He then said goodbye to everyone and started to leave Ravena City.

Theo learned about the Orc Village from Nanda and Aine when they were having breakfast that morning, and because of that, he immediately wanted to go there.

Upon leaving Ravenna City, Theo turned into his Golden Fox form and began to run swiftly onwards.

Theo had a Mini Map made by Nana for the Orc Village, and coincidentally, it was just south of Ravena City.

On the way to Orc Village, he killed a lot of frantic animals and some Goblins and Orcs as well. As he was not short of points at the moment, he always chose to trade for essence. Although it is a long way from reaching the 11th Layer of the Higher Student Kingdom, he believed that if he kept it up, he would soon have a breakthrough.

"Huh?"

[Lord Goblin - 5th Layer of the Upper Kingdom]

"And to think I would find a Lord Goblin alone on the way." He restrained his Mana from being noticed.

"<Lightning Shadows Steps>!" Theo began to sprint, each step exploding with lightning as if he were running as pure energy. He moved extremely fast, leaving behind three after-images of himself.

"…"

By the time Lord Goblin noticed Theo's presence, it was too late!

"<Bite of Golden Fox>!" Opening his Fox mouth wide, with his teeth sharper than a sword, he bent his head somewhat to bite into Lord Goblin's waist. "Prac!" Sounds could be heard of the Goblin's bones breaking and flesh tearing. The Lord Goblin was eventually split into two. Without even having any time to react, he had already been killed!

Not minding the taste of blood in his mouth, Theo then used <Devour> on both halves of the Lord Goblin's body.

[Filled 468 Bloodline Cells]

"I haven't used that ability for a long time…" Theo thought, he had even forgotten that he had it, and now Theo wanted to test the level of power he had gained for his bite since his teeth were now sharp enough for him to eat iron and gold.

And the result was quite satisfying. Although Theo didn't like the taste of blood in his mouth, he considered biting more often when he would pounce with his Golden Fox form.

Wasting no more time, he resumed his run towards the Orc Village.
