CHAPTER 5: That Girl Is Sectretly A Beauty

Merleona's Point Of View

It is nearly sunset when rain poured from the sky. In charge of keeping an eye to this little girl. I was sitting as I lift her near me and supported her head with my lap. Caressing her snow-like white hair seeing her innocence while sleeping. "I wonder, where did you get the strength to face that harsh reality you have known". I murmured gently at her and hummed a lullaby. When Zero came back from collecting food. Seeing how I was doing, he smiled for a split of seconds that surprised me in that very moment. "I'll just start cooking so that it's ready when she wake up". He said as he pull out the ingridients from his spatial storage magic. Starting to chop and slice a meat in an even sizes, mincing some other spices and vegetables. Extracting the juice of tamarinds, that I didn't know why he was doing it. Asking him what was he planning to do with those. "Ah, Those I will use them for adding a sour taste". He just answered that it took me in surprise. "But that fruit is unedible so making a soup from it seems so unthinkable, isn't it more applicable to use lemon instead". I replied with a determined voice. "It is edible actually, In my previous world in their ripeness state it can be made a candy with a sweet and sour taste". He answered and continued cooking, with him being so sure about it, I didn't bother him for a while. Then some time has passed, and he finished cooking and a very appetizing smell roamed the room as he gave me some of it. Then, before we could eat we heard a sniffing sound and looked at the girl. Staring intentionally at us with pleading eye as she gulfs in seeing such a food. After a growling sound bursted from her stomack. "Oh great timing, we were just going to eat, So come here and eat with us". Zero says and offered some to her. "C-Can I really eat?". She asked with a broken voice, a sign that she was ready to cry. "Yes, you can why not?". I replied to her with a smile in my lips to give her the comfort she needs. "W-Well you see these--? Huh? Where did it go?". She says in confusion because of the Slave Shackles being gone. "You mean, those shackles binding you". Zero says with calm voice not knowing how impossible those shackles can be broken. She immediately nod to agree in his words. "I shattered them into pieces, so don't worry about it and just sitdown and eat". He says so, without hesitation. "Ehhh!, but that's imposible!!!". She blurted out because of surprise. "I just did it, so it's not".He calmly said again but the girl nearly losses her soul upon hearing it and looked at me like asking if its the truth. As I signed her to look at the edge of the room and see the shattered chains laying there. Upon seeing the proof she calmly sat and take the food. "Thank you for the food". She said and started digging in. After eating, we decided totalk about something. "So can you tell us what happened to you?" I asked her straightforwardly even though she just recovered. "It's okay if you don't want to, just tell us your name ". Zero says so that she would not feel uneasy. "I'll talk". She says. "But are you okay with it?". I asked to reassure if she was determined. "Yes, since you're my benefactors, hiding something to you two seems so rude for me". She explained and heaved a deep breathe. "My name is Kitsune, I am a Foxnewt". She says and looked at us especially at Zero. "A Foxnewt?". Zero asked as he is unfamiliar with that term. "In these world their exist magical beast and those beast were once attracted to humans with high mana concentration and live with them. That's when they give birth to demi-humans called Newts". I explained it to him. "Yes that's true". She agreed with me but then something surprised me. Being said that she was facing Zero, She grabbed him and steals a kiss that last for five seconds that feels like minutes. Then her body lighten up and revealed a older mature girl with nine tails. "Sweet". She muttered that snap me into realization. Nine Tails and a Foxnewt wait, What?. "D-Don't tell me you're Kurama's Child". I blurted out in a moment. "Yes I am". She says proudly. "But, there's no way she could have, That prideful Fox Empress". I said to justify my claim. "But I was here the living proof". She claimed but I realized that Zero didn't even utter any question. So I look at him and see his head being bowed with reddish earlobes silently muttering something I can't hear.

Zero's Point Of View

Being surprised from my first kiss. After calming I decided to look at them. And saw Merliona and another Girl but I didn't find Kitsune. So I look around the room but I didn't see her. "Who are you looking for?". The other girl says and hold my face as she closes the gap. "I was looking for that little girl". I said immediately at her hoping that she would take her hands of my face and a distance but unfortunately I'm fortunate enough that she did the opposite. "Oh sorry, She's me actually". She claimed that I look at her and sees the resemblance asside from that the age. I should have said something but I was interrupted when she suddenly kissed me roughly. As I gazed at Merleona seemingly enjoying the scene and then a few moment later she stopped so I was catching my breathe. But Merleona also suddenly kissed me. Upon stopping I talked. "This Isn't Rigth!!". I said to them but then they duet saying. "Maybe in your previos eorld it is,But here it's fine, Polygamy is a thing in this world After all". "SAY WHAT?!!!".
