Chapter 152 Child Form
Firstly, I was genuinely surprised when the human form of Yuki, the daughter of Inari, was like that of a ten year old child. But I was speechless when Yuki called me her father.
She teleported herself to escape the matter, but I chased and caught her afterwards since I had planted a mark on her and dragged her into an isolated place.
Right now, in the living area of our headquarters on the 30th Floor of the dungeon, I am having a conversation with Inari, who is sitting with her daughter, Yuki, on the same couch.
Yuki has been dressed by Uriel and is currently wearing an elegant pink kimono. Uriel had finished measuring her sizes and sewn a set of loli-sized outfits just for her.
There are some people here in this area aside from the three of us, namely, Czarina, Uriel, and Griffith. I sat with Czarina while Uriel and Griffith shared one.
By the way, we cannot forget to provide clothing for Griffith, albeit temporarily in the meantime. She is currently clad in a plain white tunic and shorts.
She has not been wearing any undergarments for now. The reason for that was because she has a long way to go before she can learn some high-leveled Pure Magic spells needed for a transformation.
Griffith would definitely destroy her clothes if she were to revert herself back to her true form. For that reason, Uriel and I decided to provide her with cheap clothes until she mastered those necessary spells.
Setting the irrelevancies aside, we have a matter to discuss. Sitting on the couch across from that mother and daughter, we continue the conversation that was postponed a while ago.
“So, Master. Are you discomfited by what my daughter proclaimed earlier?”
“I was kind of shocked by her, actually.” I said, then laid my back against the comfy back of the couch. “But I soon realized that what she said technically made sense.”
“Have you, Master?”
“Yes. I will soon make you my woman, so that will make me your partner, as well as a father to Yuki.”
“Master…”
I had said to myself that I would be making out with Inari once she fully devoted herself to me. She is kind of beautiful and bangable so why not? But her daughter…
“But I did not expect that Yuki would be a child.” Then I shifted my gaze from Inari to her daughter. “Is it because she only has five tails?”
“Perhaps.” Inari responded. “To us Tailed Foxes, our power is symbolized by increase in number of tails. Also, the number of our tails indicates our maturity. The more the tails, the more intelligent and the bigger we gets.”
“Indeed.” I agreed with Inari’s explanation. “I came to notice from the foxes that the nine-tailed foxes are significantly larger compared to the ones with lesser tails.”
If that is the case, Yuki would become more mature once she gets stronger. Now that I think about it, is the number of their tails proportional to their Levels?
<Affirmative. Tailed Fox was born as a race called the Elemental Fox. Once an Elemental Fox reached the Level of two hundred, it would evolve into a Tailed Fox (One Tail). A tail would sprout out of its body for every one hundred Levels it reached, until it became a Tailed Fox (Nine Tails) at Level 1000.>
(Thank you for giving me such a detailed explanation, Akashvani. As helpful as always.)
From what Akashvani has stated, a Tailed Fox would become a Two-Tailed Fox once it reaches Level 300 and would constantly evolve until it became a powerful yokai with nine tails that was sealed inside a certain stone.
As for Yuki, she is around Level 600 and has five tails as a monster fox, but she acts and has a body like that of a grade schooler in her human form.
So at what level should a Tailed Fox reach in order to evolve into a Celestial Fox like Inari?
<A Tailed Fox (Nine Tails) needs at least Level 1500 in order to evolve into a Celestial Fox. Once evolved into a ten-tailed Celestial Fox, one would acquire an instinctual ability to alter one’s shape like that of a human being.>
Whoa, that is quite a gap, but it is worth the time and effort in the end. Just look at how powerful and beautiful Inari is if one is looking for concrete evidence.
But the ability to transform into humans was not something the foxes would be fond of since altering their bodies to human ones statistically reduced their strengths. For them, maintaining their true beastly form would undoubtedly be the best.
“So Yuki would eventually become more mature as she is getting stronger and has grown herself more tails, huh?”
“You are correct, Master. She would definitely will.” Inari happily responded. “So, Master, when that happens, would that change your view on her?”
“So you do not mind offering Yuki to me? Is she fine with that?”
“It is fine with me, Master.” Yuki said. “I want to become your mate!”
“Ugh…” I let out a groan after hearing those words from a child. πΌππΉ.πΌπ«π΄
“What do you think, Master.” Inari asked. “Will you accept a mature Yuki?”
“Hmm… surely would, but she definitely requires excessive time and effort in order to do that. I think that she needs to have at least nine tails for me to see her as a love interest.”
If Yuki wants to make herself a woman of mine, she has to grow first. Based on her Level and the time she spent to reach it, she must have lived for hundreds of years.
Even if she is at that age, she is still relatively young. I wanted her to at least have a more mature physical appearance than I do. But before that…
“Yuki, from now on until you seem to be an adult in my eyes, I will take care of you. Even though you are obviously way older than I am, as Inari’s daughter, I want to adopt you as my daughter.”
“Really, Master?”
(Ugh! My heart could not contain this much cuteness!) I was thrilled inside as Yuki looked at me with glistening eyes.
The more I laid my eyes upon Yuki, the more I realized to myself that there was something in Yuki that I had not seen in her before; she was so adorable and precious.
It had never crossed my mind how cute this little girl was. Yuki was so precious that I wanted to protect and take care of her no matter what.
Before it was too late, before she would become a fine lady, I wanted to convey my honest feelings about how I wanted to regard Yuki with tenderness. I wanted to spoil her as she is growing up.
(Wait a minute, isn’t it the same as grooming a minor?) I thought about it but immediately brushed it off since I don’t care about ethics anyway.
“Are you really sure about that, Master?”
“Yes, Inari. I am sure of it.”
“Thank you very much for granting her selfishness, Master.”
“Hm.” I gave a nod to the bowing Inari before turning my attention to Yuki. “Yuki, I want you to join Griffith in slaying monsters in the dungeon and Level up with her.”
“I will do it, Master!”
“Good.” I said before I turned my eyes to Griffith, who was sitting with Uriel on a couch adjacent to mine and Czarina’s. “Griffith, please guide your junior.”
“Of course, Master.” Griffith corresponded, and they stood up from their seats. “Come on, Yuki!”
“Aye!”
After Yuki responded, she stood up and briskly exited the door with Griffith. Basically, Uriel had to follow them since both of them could not teleport themselves directly to the lower floors.
Yuki and Griffith will definitely have to hunt monsters in their true form, of course. Yuki had been taught by her mother how to disintegrate and rematerialize her garments, but Griffith has to be undressed by Uriel so as not to destroy her clothes.
By the way, Yuki had already become my fourth tamed monster before I gave her the ability to transform.
“Come here, Inari.”
Now that Griffith, Yuki, and Uriel had left the house, I was left alone with Inari and Czarina, two of my tamed monsters.
Inari stood up from her couch and walked toward us, just as I said. I sidled leftward to give Inari some space before she sat down to my right.
“What are you going to do, Master?”
Czarina, who was sitting to my left, asked me. But I did not answer her verbally; I responded with my actions instead, a fondle on each of their assets from their backs.
“Fufu. Please touch me as you please, Master.”
“How bold of you, Master. I would never allow anyone to touch my body like this other than Master. So you better be grateful that I willingly became your servant.”
“I am always grateful for having wonderful women like the two of you within my arms. Thank you for choosing me as your master.”
Beside me were two beautiful and buxom mature ladies. There were shapely figures sandwiching mine; their bodies were remarkably soft in spite of their monstrous stats.
I never thought that I would be able to grope these beautiful and bountiful fruits other than from my two mothers. I was so grateful for them that I tightened my embrace with them.
But I doubt that Czarina became my subject of her own volition. She was more like blackmailed and threatened by an unknown person, and wrapped this dragon as a gift for me. But that’s not important right now.
“Now then…” I stood up, then lifted and put Inari and Czarina on my shoulders, like lifting LPG tanks.
“Oh.” They reacted in unison behind me.
“Shall we begin?”
