Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

Summary:

As a fox who was abandoned by Kafka once, Yuuka certainly knows best what kind of fox is most lovable.

When she was taken in again, she became as docile as a tamed fox, sheathing her fangs and claws, and willingly accepting the mark of that woman.

Although she didn't know what unique hobbies the Jade Lady had for her, the feeling of being needed was irresistible to Xi Lan.

Miss Fox, who thought she could maintain this relationship and live a relatively normal life, heard the doorbell ring at her private residence after her tender night with Miss Emerald.

Xi Lan opened the door without hesitation.

It wasn't until she saw Kafka, whose clothes were soaked by the rain, looking at her with a slightly strange gaze, and the marks that Emerald had deliberately left on her body, that she realized what was happening.

Even at this moment, Kafka maintained her smile and seemingly unintentionally placed her hand on the door frame, subtly closing the distance between herself and Yulan.

Kafka smiled, her slender yet nimble fingers subtly caressing Xilan's delicate neck.

"She's not home, darling, don't you welcome me?"

Volume One

Chapter 1 Who wouldn't love a silver-haired little fox?

"An unfortunate...infant...unable to survive...and of no value..."

The fox-woman, her face filled with sorrow, was soaked to the bone by the rain and muttered something as she ran in a disheveled state.

"Why be born...why suffer such torment..."

But the fox cub she was holding was well protected and hardly got wet at all.

The child, completely unaware of what was happening, hummed something, his light purple eyes gazing blankly at the mother-like figure, reaching out as if to embrace her.

But there was no response.

The fox-woman seemed to have finally exhausted herself running in the rain, or perhaps she had found a way to escape.

Without much hesitation, she placed the child, who was longing for his mother's embrace, into a small alley where he could find shelter from the rain.

Then, as if hiding from something, he only glanced back at the child before quickly disappearing into the rain.

The toddler, who could barely stand up, could only watch her mother gradually disappear from her sight.

The loss of a warm embrace, coupled with the unease in their hearts, immediately caused the toddler, who was already placed in the cardboard box, to cry.

But the thunder and the increasingly heavy rain gradually drowned out the cries of the fox cubs.

But no matter how much she cried this time, the role that originally belonged to her as a mother would not appear before her.

The little child doesn't understand this.

In the end, all he could do was hug his little tail, curled up in the tattered cardboard box, trembling as if he had no sense of security whatsoever.

"I think this is the place Eriol was talking about, hmm? Blade?"

"Ah."

The sound of footsteps, seemingly coming from nowhere, appeared at a leisurely pace in the alley, causing the child's slightly drooping fox ears to twitch slightly.

She opened her red, tear-filled eyes again and looked into the darkness, only to see those unforgettable eyes.

"Ah, I found it."

The purple-haired woman was looking at the pitiful little fox, abandoned there, with a strange smile on her face.

"...Come with me..."

As the scene gradually becomes increasingly blurry and unsettling, the child discovers that the woman's voice is beginning to echo... elusive and impossible to pinpoint.

It wasn't until a sound that shouldn't have been in the picture appeared that the sleeping child realized something was wrong.

"...Hey...hey, it's time to wake up!"

"Aren't you getting up to eat now? I've eaten all your meat!"

As soon as he opened his eyes, he found those mischievous golden eyes squinting with pleasure, like a child who had successfully pulled off a prank, and even chuckled a few times.

Especially when she saw the bewildered look on the child's face after she woke him up, she almost took out her terminal to take a few pictures and send them to Kafka and the others.

But considering that the little fox would get angry and be a bit difficult to appease, otherwise we would have done it already.

“Xi Lan, little Xi Lan, it’s rare for Kafka to let us order takeout, but I didn’t expect you to fall asleep.”

The gray-haired guy in front of me shook his head with feigned regret: "I couldn't wake you up no matter how much I called you, so I had no choice but to reluctantly eat your burger with lots of cheese on it, okay?"

"star.."

The little fox named Xilan, with her long, silver-white hair accented with a touch of crimson at the ends, slowly sat up, rubbed her eyes, and lowered her head, looking like she was in a bad mood.

Xing, who had been feeling smug, was momentarily stunned. Seeing the child's unhappy expression, she wondered if she had said something wrong.

She hesitated for a moment, then leaned closer, craning her neck slightly to ask, "No, you really cried?"

The next second, Xi Lan, the little fox, bit the soft flesh of his cheek. He quickly retreated a few steps, grimacing, and covered his face, feigning a pitiful look.

"I didn't cry, I just had a dream that I felt like I was abandoned..."

With red eyes, Xi Lan snorted and stuck her tongue out at Xing, that childish brat.

I just feel really annoyed...

"Alright, alright, I won't argue with you since you're just a kid." Xing seemed to remember something and clearly didn't continue the conversation.

Then, taking advantage of his height, he swept his hand and pulled Xilan, who was still somewhat lost in her dream, into his arms.

"Come on, I'll take you out for something delicious, and then we'll play games together! Don't overthink it!"

"And Kafka and the others said they'd be back early today. I'm really looking forward to seeing what fun little things they'll bring back this time."

Xing just smiled, her eyes like golden jewels, impossible to look away from.

Although this comforting words felt a bit awkward, they were especially appreciated by the little fox at the moment.

"Um.."

Held in Xing's arms, Xi Lan responded softly. Although her face was expressionless, her fluffy tail, which symbolized her mood, swayed slightly. She leaned closer with her chubby cheeks and carefully pressed them against the person's neck.

Feeling Xing's body temperature, as if doing so could bring her a sense of security.

At this point, she wasn't so resistant to the gray-haired man's embrace.

Although it had been... a long time since Kafka and the others had carried her back, Yulan didn't know how long it had been, but the person who spent the most time with her was still Xing, her unreliable older sister.

Well, it's fine this way, isn't it?

The little fox, enjoying the feeding service, squinted its eyes contentedly and unconsciously wagged its tail.

Will everyone abandon me like that person did?

Despite having many questions in her mind because of this nightmare, Xi Lan quickly put the matter out of her mind as she continued to be fed.

The little fox thought this to itself, and at the same time, its arms around Xing tightened, like a drowning person grabbing onto a piece of driftwood, refusing to let go.

If only things could stay like this forever...

Chapter Two: Blade: Now Obedient

"Kafka, why aren't you back yet...? Hoshi, Hoshi, stop playing with the terminal."

Having eaten her fill and played until she was tired, Xi Lan leaned against Xing's chest, watching the gray-haired creature that seemed to be brushing its terminal, its tail, which was in fairly good condition, casually brush against his arm.

Is she trying to get the other person's attention? Or is she being coquettish?

Regardless, this method was indeed very effective; at least it made Xing focus her attention on her tail.

Even though it was the fox-people's most sensitive spot—their tail—that was being fondled, Xi Lan didn't show any strange expression.

She even leaned lazily against Xing's chest, found a comfortable position, and then opened her mouth to bite the other's shoulder, on the exposed skin, without any pain or itchiness.

It's probably a small punishment for ignoring people.

Seeing those bright golden eyes narrow and gasp, Xing finally put down the terminal and used her free hand to rub the little head resting on her shoulder.

Unfortunately, my technique for petting the fox wasn't very good, and the little fox wasn't satisfied; in fact, its head got quite messed up from all the rubbing.

The soft meat beside me was also given a small bite.

"Hey you little fox! I've been taking care of you for days, and now I'm covered in bite marks. If you don't make it up to me, I'm going to throw a tantrum!"

Unfortunately, Xi Lan had to face a gray-haired guy who was even more unruly than her, and she didn't know what to do about this backstabbing behavior.

Before Xi Lan could even react, the man pulled her into a tight embrace. Without a word, he leaned in and, like petting a cat, began kissing and nibbling at her face without any restraint.

It left behind a lot of this guy's saliva.

"Wow! You idiot! Stop kissing me!"

Completely powerless to resist, Xilan tried to stop the other party, but ultimately failed.

She tried to struggle for a while, but the little fox, having run out of strength, gave up and stared blankly at the ceiling.

She now understands what it's like when a cat or dog is petted until it's disoriented and unable to struggle.

Even her fox ears, which are even more sensitive than her tail, have been taken advantage of by Xing quite a bit.

As a result, after being forcibly kissed and hugged for five or six minutes, Xing finally had enough of petting the fox and released Xi Lan from her embrace with a beaming smile.

However, the little guy, who had already run out of strength, could only lie helplessly in her arms, with only her tail wagging unhappily.

"I just wanted to ask when Kafka is coming back..."

Xi Lan muttered to herself, giving the culprit a resentful look, only to find that the other party showed no remorse whatsoever.
