Golden Fox with System

Yuki looked earnestly at Shina and said slowly and softly, "Shina... could it be... that you fell in love with Theo?"

Shina was surprised by Yuki's sudden question. "Am I?" Shina muttered holding her head with both her hands in confusion. "Ahhh, I-I... I don't know... because I've never been in love before..."

Shina now began to wonder if she really liked Theo in a romantic way, but she then remembered that Theo and Yuki were a couple and said, "I can't have fallen in love with Theo, right? He already has you... "

Although she heard this from Shina, Yuki was able to understand that Shina may actually have come to like Theo, but Yuki wouldn't care if that was the case. Since for her, as long as she can have a place in Theo's heart, it doesn't matter if he has other women. And another important thing is that she already knew Shina and treated her as a good friend. She has also come to think that Theo could have other women since she is sure that he will become more and more extraordinary with time, and more and more women will come to fall in love with him.

That's what Yuki believed after talking to Shina about love stories.

Yuki smiled gently toward Shina who was nervously looking at her, and said in a kind voice, "Shina, I don't know if you really fell in love with Theo, but if that's really the case, I think it would be wonderful to also be Theo's mate," Yuki said even as she smiled kindly at Shina.

"Ehhhh?" Shina was surprised upon hearing that from Yuki. She even thought she was dreaming, but the fact in front of her could not be denied... and her maiden's heart began to palpitate even more than before. For her to have heard that... Shina could not stop herself from starting to daydream, to be one of Theo's women along with Yuki.

Yuki did not care about Shina's reaction and realized she was thinking about what she said now and waited patiently.

Shina breathed, putting her small, delicate hand on her chest trying to calm her emotions and asked, "Is everything really alright Yuki?"

"Yes," Yuki replied.

After a long time of reflecting, Shina replied, "Um... I still don't know if I'm really starting to love Theo... but I admit that I feel something for him..." She gave a big sigh and said, "And I don't know what he thinks of me either."

"Hehe. Well, then take your time to think about it now and if you really did come to fall in love with Theo." Yuki wrapped her wings around Shina like a hug and said, "Then go deep and make him fall in love with you too..."

Shina was touched by Yuki's words and warm tears began to flow from her eyes. "Thank you, Yuki!" She said it from the bottom of her heart.

"Yes." Yuki nodded and held her until Shina calmed down.

While all this was happening, Theo was practicing his forging in his human form, oblivious of the conversation Yuki and Shina had.

Theo also wanted to forge a weapon he could use. He had already forged swords, spears, daggers and katana before, but not one of them had a Magic Core of lightning or darkness. He had been wanting to forge a weapon of his element for himself, but at the moment, he only had a few Lightning cores and none of Darkness. Because of this, he was first training with Magic Cores of other elements that he wouldn't use and since he would go to a city, Theo intended to sell some of the weapons he made there, or exchange some Magic Cores.

After forging a few times in his human form Theo thought: "It's a little easier for me to forge in this human form. I even managed to forge a rank 2 sword with excellent quality." Theo held the fire sword in his right hand and used some of his mana on the sword. The sword began to manifest red flames off it.

Satisfied with it, Theo put it in his dimensional bag. "Okay, now I'm forging a sword for myself."

With such thought in mind... Theo took out 5 Lightning Magic Cores that were in the 9th Tier of the Student Kingdom and began to forge, but instead of making it with iron, he bought some silver that was more expensive and sturdy and began forging.

Theo was so focused on his forge, he did not notice that Shina and Yuki had already returned.

Shina saw Theo concentrating forging. She kept stealing some glances at Theo and thought that he looked even more handsome when he was working on his forge and couldn't help but have some fantasies about her and Theo.

"Waaaaa! What am I thinking." A wave of anxiety swept over Shina's small single {TL: The not married one} heart.

Shina placed both her hands on her cheeks as she blushed furiously. Even her ears were red and if this was an anime, Yuki who was standing next to her would be able to see smoke coming out of Shina's head right now. Especially after the conversation she had with Yuki.

Now, she couldn't help but think about these things. "Did I become a pervert?" Shina asked herself in embarrassment, trying to calm her little heart.

Yuki, who was seeing her reactions, smiled and thought she was cute.

But Yuki was also a bit anxious since the day Theo got his human form. She also wanted to gain her human form, although she was already in the 8th Layer of the Student Kingdom, almost in the 9th Layer, she knew it would take some time for her to reach her human form.

*Sigh~*

Yuki sighed and stopped at that train of thought. "I just need to try a little harder and I'll get my human form soon enough. I don't need to rush."

Seeing that Theo would take some time forging, Shina thought it would be nice to make some lunch for them to take on their trip and also try to calm their heart a little bit, which wouldn't stop beating quickly whenever she looked at Theo.

She then went to the kitchen and wore a pink apron, then she began to prepare some snacks for their trip.

Extra:

On a random earlier day, before he got his Human form.

Theo was meditating in the [Dimensional room] and when he opened his eyes he saw Shina and Yuki talking with each other.

Halfway, Shina pat Yuki, which she enjoyed. Theo, from a distance, saw their interaction and smiles, but then: "Something doesn't right..." He thought

Then suddenly, they both looked at Theo smiling.

"Shina, pat Theo, he will probably enjoy it too!" Yuki said, to which Shina nodded.
