Whew.

　I woke up to the glare of the sunset.

　........Oh, I slept too much.

　Hmm?

　I realize that my body is completely trapped between something.

　Come to think of it, I've been sleeping on Yoko's feet.

　I did a bad thing until this time of night.
　I thought that and looked up at Yoko.

Who are you?

　I was asleep, I believe, between the legs of Yoko, who was sitting hunched over, but the person who should have been Yoko was changed into a woman I didn't recognize.

　But the person who should have been Yohko has turned into a woman I've never seen before.

Hmm....White, you're finally awake.

　My voice woke up a woman and spoke to me. The voice was Yohko.

　Come to think of it, there's some trace of Yohko in there.

Well, you're not Yohko?
Well, he's a funny guy. Whose feet did you think you were sleeping on?

　He says it's really a yoko.
　What do you mean?

　Oh!

　My magic power was leaking out.

　It looks like Yohko has absorbed my magic and grown.

　I'm supposed to let her help me release my magic, but she's been feeding it to me for several hours.

"Yo, Yoko. How's the magic buildup?

　I can see how much magic I have built up if I wanted to. But I was too scared to look at it myself.

'You mean the magic power you have stored in your tail?　Thanks to you, I have a full tank!

!

　Yoko answered with a smile.

　The magic power is full - in other words, Yohko has become a full-bodied nine-tailed fox.

　I regretted it terribly.

　I was supposed to protect the world, but I had created a demon race that destroyed the world.

　I'm going to have to distance myself from Yoko.

　I'll be able to move and stretch out my body.

　I'm paying attention to her every move.
　It's no wonder she's flailing about right now.

Hmm, I've slept a little too much. Now, what's for dinner tonight?

　As she said this, Yoko stood up.

　The kimono she was wearing was not enough to cover her growing body, exposing her lustrous body.

Oh, my body has grown up a lot. With this, you should be able to please the Lord.

　Yoko checks herself out.
　She looks extremely happy and excited.

''..........''

　That's strange.
　Joko does not seem to be going out of control.

　The Nine-Tailed Fox, as I've known him, builds up a magical power and when it grows, it loses its self-awareness and destroys until it runs out of magic.

　That's the kind of demons they are.

　But even though Yoko is already in full form, she's not going out of control.

　What's going on?

You don't want to get out of control, do you?

　I asked normally.

'Hmm, I think it's thanks to the Lord and you. Perhaps it's because I've been filled with a magical power that doesn't have any malicious intent, and I don't think I'm going to act out at all.

Yeah?

　How is that possible?

　No, come to think of it, nine-tailed foxes often occur in countries that have been devastated by war and other disasters.

　Could it be that in such a country, the nine-tailed foxes become ferocious by absorbing the negative aura of anger, sadness and hatred?

　Once again, I checked Yoko's tail. There were two of Harut's magic power and six of mine, and the remaining one had a mixture of various magic powers.

　The evil aura is - I have a feeling it's less.

　What a mess.

　The nine-tailed fox, which was thought to be an unstoppable natural disaster, wouldn't go out of control if it was raised in a place with no malicious intent.

　This was a new discovery that I, as a divine beast, did not know.

　Not letting Yoko run amok would lead to not letting Harut feel sad.

　If that's the case, it will also determine the action I will take.

Yohko, if you use the magic of the tail, you'll have to suck out my magic or Hurt's, and you'll be out of control. Then you won't go out of control anymore.

I understand. I was going to ask for that, too. I didn't want to cause you any trouble by going out of control.

　Joko seems to understand.

　Good.
　I guess that removes one more threat from the world.


　You're not a threat to me.

Yoriko, Shiro-sama, dinner is ready for you.

　I was playing in the courtyard with Yoko when Tina came to call me.

Because of your many requests, we're serving curry again today. We have a lot of them.

Oh!

　Today it's my favorite Tina's curry!

　I'd like to have Tina's curry every meal for a week.
　I like Tina's curry that much.

　I can't stop my tail from wagging.

　When I looked at Yoko, all nine of her tails were wagging violently.

Oh?　Yoko, have you grown up somehow?　You know, your kimono.....

　Tina noticed something strange about Yoko.

　The current Yoko had a bewitching nariety that would make any human male lustful.

'Mm, thanks to White.

Oh, I see. I'll have to mend my kimono.

Can you do it?

Yes, I'll take care of it.

　Yoko was taken by Tina and we headed towards the house.

　I left Yoko and her friends and decided to go to dinner.


　─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

　Tina's curry was good again today.
　I ate it so much.

　The curry always runs out quickly, so Tina seemed to have made a lot of it today.

　Apparently she made more so that she could eat it tomorrow or later.

　But it was all gone.
　Everyone had eaten a ridiculous amount.

　And I'm pretty full now.
　Oh I'm so happy.

　I can't tell you how many times in one day I've been glad to be with the Halt.

　We must protect this place and House Elnor.

　If anyone dares to harm this happy place, I will punish them in the name of my divine beast.

　Whoever harms this place must be an enemy of the world.

　If so, there is nothing wrong with using My true power to get rid of that person.

No one will ever take this place from me.

　Muttering to myself, I lay down on the soft sofa and fell asleep.

　It had been another good day.
