921 Fox Empress Dilemma
“Alright, girls. I gathered you here because something needs to be discussed immediately.” Luna closed the door and sat down on the sofa. She intertwined her fingers with a solemn expression, making the girls nervous.
“What kind of discussion? Is this related to Ely’s joke regarding your mating season?” Sylvia rolled her eyes and tried to guess.
“…” Luna didn’t answer, but her expression told the truth.
“Eh, for real? Oh gosh, what will happen then? Are you going to be a hungry-driven vixen that will attack every male within your sight? Or, hmpf!” Sylvia gasped in surprise when she thought her guess had hit the jackpot.
Yet, Yuuki immediately covered the pervert devil’s mouth. Luna hadn’t spoken yet, but Sylvia had guessed a lot of nonsense.
“Sigh, that’s not quite true, Sylvi. We’ll be arriving in summer next month, then autumn, and then winter.” Luna sighed.
“What’s wrong with winter?” Vanessa was curious.
“Winter is known as the mating season for beasts and beastkins. Early winter for the beasts, and late winter for the beastkins.” Luna clasped her hands as if it was a matter they needed to discuss seriously.
“Then, what’s the problem? Mating season doesn’t come to beasts or beastkin without a partner. Wait, don’t tell me, you to Ely!?” Sylvia just realized the weight of this conversation.
“Yes, beasts and beastkin without a partner will not have that season. Once they dedicate themselves to a partner of their choice, then they will pass that season every year.” Luna stated their main problem.
“Hmm, we chose Ely as our master and partner? Then, are we going to?” Lynn covered her mouth with a light blush slowly coming to her face.
“Probably, we will cling to Ely because we crave love and affection at that time. We might sneak up and attack her out of spite of lust.” Luna shared her worries.
“You lewd vixen. You underestimated our master. Master Elysia is a Goddess. You wouldn’t encounter such trouble if you told her. Also, even if that happened, our master would give us the love we crave. She loved us. Her touch is divine, I love to snuggle in her arms or in her lap.” Yuuki hugged one of her fluffy tails and rubbed her cheek there.
“Uuh, I hope this is just my unnecessary and excessive worry.” Luna rubbed her forehead.
“You’re a vixen too, Yuuki. Hey, we have three vixens in the group. Anyway, what about your situation with Lynn’s father, your late husband? Did you become the real lewd vixen at that time?” Sylvia also hugged one of Yuuki’s fluffy tails before asking curiously.
“Yes, that was when I first fell in love, but to the wrong person. I was still a nobody at that time. A naive young soul fox…” Luna was not ashamed to admit it. Her daughter also knew the whole story because she didn’t keep it a secret.
“My mother killed him. He betrayed my mother and abandoned us before I was born into the world. We can be cunning to achieve our goals, but we will never tolerate betrayal.” Lynn glared at Sylvia as if to tell everyone she would keep her word.
“…” Yuuki fell silent. She remembered how her mother had thrown her away because the case was not much different from Luna’s. Maybe Luna insisted on making her a daughter because this Fox Empress saw her fate string?
“Then, what are you going to do? Our master is a girl.” Sylvia nodded in understanding and took everything more seriously.
“It’s not about male or female because our master is divine. What I’m worried about is that we might harass her because of the season and leave us with a bad impression. I don’t want Ely to shun us.” Luna voiced her concern. She was in a dilemma because she didn’t want her daughter, Elysia, to see her in a bad light.
“Well, I don’t really understand. But you’re just too worried. Look at Lynn, she orgasmed just because of our master’s touch. Our master will satisfy you easily, Luna. Even if you want more, our master can satisfy your hunger in various ways, hehe~ You’ve never been petted by our master. Just join us, and you will love it.” Vanessa stated the truth with a big smile. But she interpreted things differently.
“Vann!” Lynn felt embarrassed and immediately covered her face with both hands.
“En, It’s good to be loved. I understood why Goddess Aria said it doesn’t always have to be a man. We only need a master to accompany our lives~” Yuuki ultimately agreed with Vanessa.
For some reason, Sylvia felt that Vanessa and Yuuki misunderstood Luna’s dilemma. However, she didn’t mind that. She assumed that Luna’s worry problem was over.
However, the devil princess then threw some somewhat improper conversations that could still be tolerated by the girls. It was when Luna finally understood why Yuuki often referred to Sylvia as the pervert devil.
Meanwhile, Elysia was done with her bedtime stories, and the Goddesses returned to the main room. Dorienne, Xentia, Eve, and Ella had fallen asleep because of the bedtime stories.
‘I’m glad to see you’ve reconciled with your mother, Rhea.’ Elysia greeted with a smile.
‘I am not angry with my mother, Master Ely. Mother just does as she pleases. Even if it’s for the common good, I just feel dissatisfied.’ Rhea snuggled next to Elysia.
‘Um, what do you think we should do with Dori? Is what I’m about to do the right thing? I feel like I’m manipulating someone.’ Elysia opened a group conversation for those still awake in this room.
‘That’s fine, and it’s not manipulation if all we do is tell some fairy tales about sad mermaids and their bad ending.’ Ai faced the ceiling and raised her hand, staring into her palm.
‘However, we’d better erase her memories of the recent event regarding you, Ely. Even though she will be joining us in your pantheon, she is currently still an outsider. She is the one who will decide and offer herself to you.’ Nell landed near the pink mermaid’s head, ready to do something.
‘Yes, I encourage the immediate action. There is no tolerance for outsiders who know too much secrets.’ Lifa agreed with the suggestion.
‘If you’re going to erase her memories, wouldn’t the story influence we did just now be in vain?’ Fortuna asked in wonder.
‘It won’t go to waste. It had given her sleep a nightmare. Let she reconsider her faith, belief, and future. What she will do? Even if Ely needs more power, we can get more significant members, and it doesn’t have to be her. We barely know her.’ Nell shook her head.

“…” Lifa glanced at Elysia for a moment, then did something to Dorienne’s memories. She removed the recent event related to Elysia’s secret that Dorienne witnessed in full.
So, what this pink mermaid could remember was that today they had a picnic and had fun until night. Then, the day ended with bedtime stories.
Lifa knew the bedtime stories about a sad mermaid manifesting in Dorienne’s dream. She just made it a little more realistic.
It was fine to take one from the Oceanid followers if Elysia and Elena wished for it. If they wanted it, she could do anything to get the desired ones to become their loyal followers. Lifa had her own determination.
“…” Elysia wasn’t aware of what Lifa was planning for Dorienne because her focus was on Rhea.
Rhea’s body has grown into a girl her age, no longer a little girl. Rhea was willing to be her little sister. So, she could pamper Rhea like a big sister to her adorable little sister.
‘You’ve grown to be commensurate with my current age. But, you are still my little sister, here, rub, rub~’ Elysia rubbed Rhea’s cheek gently.
‘Master…’ Rhea blushed slightly.
‘Rhea, I previously thought that only you could lend your power to me and vice verca because of our bond, but apparently it was only me who didn’t know. Vann and Yuuki also only found out about it when I told them about it. I hope, with everyone’s strength, I can far surpass the Ruvoid Gods.’ Elysia declared that confidently.
‘I’m afraid we’re still not strong enough, master. Even though you have everyone’s power…’ Rhea heaved a subtle sigh.
‘Don’t underestimate me. With everyone’s strength, we can definitely defeat them. We will confirm the situation of our enemies on the moon when our Space Battleship is completed. We will bring the complete seal formation there so they don’t do anything they want. It might also be able to extend the original seal. But, our first visit to the most dangerous zone on no-magic terms, huh… It will be precarious.’ Elysia rubbed Rhea’s head and looked at Ai, Fortuna, and everyone.
‘Yes, Ely’s overall strength would be far beyond the limit when everyone poured their strength into strengthening Ely. I’m more worried whether this world can withstand her full magical power or not.’ Fortuna voiced her opinion.
‘Mmm, that’s true. Master Elysia’s true power is far beyond what we can imagine. Our duty is to lighten her burden and lift her limit. Master Elysia doesn’t really need additional combat power, but she urgently needs more tenacity and resilience to create miracles.’ Rhea nodded in agreement before burying her face in Elysia’s embrace. She inhaled Elysia’s signature pleasant and soothing scent before closing her eyes.
Lifa finished with Dorienne’s matters, and Nell was there for a double-check. Afterward, they lay down to relax while waiting for the beast girls to return from their emergency meeting.
