The Fox Goddess



The meaning in her words was so deep that it cut all of them deeply because they all felt the same, they said that they were going to learn from their mistakes but none of that happened because they didn't know what they did wrong. Maybe it was because of their pride and arrogance that they refused to admit that they were wrong, or maybe they just didn't analyze what they did which only caused them to make more mistakes in the future.

"Just like what I said before, nothing in this world is perfect. Making mistakes is a normal thing, but what isn't normal is making the same mistake over and over again. If you ever did something wrong, accept it and just try to learn from it by figuring out why you were wrong. That is the first step, after all, try to learn what you did wrong. Then you start from there." Yuki gazes back at them with a smile on her face as she teaches them based on her own experiences. At first, she was also one of those people who believed in those words, but as she grew up, she learned that those words that seem so true were actually just an unfinished line.

"I… I now understand what you are trying to say Mom and you're right… Aika is a smart little girl, I'm sure she would be able to conquer this hurdle in front of her. But… our main problem is what you have said Mom, how do we tell this news to Aika without hurting her feelings?" Yumie said after a while. She was speechless when she heard what her Mother said because out of all the things that she had taught them, it was probably the most impactful that she needed a few minutes to comprehend all of them even though it was just a simple sentence.

"Yes, now you see why I'm so worried about that?" Yuki laughed to herself, the plan was very easy to think of, but executing it was a whole different story. Even the first step already makes her want to give up because it is going to be a very painful one for all of them and what is worse is that she is doing it at the time when she is finally reunited with Amane. The worst possible time to part ways with her.

"Yuki… it may be hard but I know who you are. You are a person who does her best, or maybe it is even an understatement because you will do anything to achieve what you want. So I believe that you will be able to do this after all… this is the duty of a good Mother, right?" Fumiko walked and stood in front of Yuki, her eyes were red, but she still managed not to cry.

"Sister Fumiko is right, you know? You don't even believe in the words of giving up because you hate it, you hate giving up. You are the type of person who would rather die trying than just give up halfway." Kurokami added as she walked up behind her before crossing her arms around Yuki's body and hugging her body in the process, Fumiko also did the same but she was at the front.

"Hahaha… I don't know if you are trying to compliment me or trying to make me feel worse… Your words are definitely interesting if I must say." Yuki couldn't help but laugh after hearing the words of her two wives. She couldn't tell if the two were really trying to make her feel better or worse by saying all of those words to her, though she did find those words encouraging. Because at the end of the day, they were right about what they said about her.

"Maybe a little bit of both? But on a serious note Yuki, we can't do anything about this, about the fact that we are going to part ways with Aika. It's simply impossible to relay this news without her getting hurt and sad in the process, but there is something that you can do, and that is to do everything that you can to ease that pain." Fumiko laughed at first but then turned serious as she said in a whispering tone while covering her face behind Yuki's back so that no one could see what face she was currently making.

"That… I didn't think of that. I guess I'm still blind in a few ways, huh? I was so busy thinking of ways to say this news to her without her getting hurt even though I knew that it was an impossible task that it made me that it made blind I could just do things after I said all of it. I'm dumb…" Yuki mocked herself as she simply couldn't believe how stupid she could be not thinking in such a way, it was so simple too. But even though it was such a simple way, she didn't think of it.

"Thank you, I'm really glad that all of you are here. Because of that, it gives me more reason why I can go further. You guys are the real reason why I would do anything just to get what I want." Yuki said as she pulled everyone close to her as she hugged all of them the best as she could and when they saw how Yuki was trying, they all felt touched as they hugged her back and supported each other.

Their hug lasted for a few minutes before they finally let go of each other and finally calmed down after a lot of emotions surged in their hearts. Yuki looked at all of them for a second before saying that they should all go since some people would get suspicious if they were gone for too long, especially her two mothers and Aika. They would speculate that something was wrong and that Yuki wasn't willing to tell the news to them which they were right, it's just it was not the right time to tell it to them.

"All of you should go now or else some people will get suspicious since you've been gone for so long now, I'll join all of you within 10 minutes. If anyone asks where I am, tell them that I'm speaking to someone." Yuki said to them to which they quickly agreed and didn't ask more knowing what kind of personality she has, so they just left and did what Yuki told them which was to relay the message that she was just speaking to someone, which was not a lie.

"Cindy, what is the news in the Human Kingdom now?" Yuki called Cindy using the phone and asked directly what she wanted. She had already placed Cindy in the Human Kingdom as a Spy and because she already has some foundation there, there are no troubles for her when she stays there which would make her job easier which is to collect news for her. Diana was also there, but her job was different from what Cindy was doing.

"Master Yuki, just as you planned, the King has finally told the truth about the forgotten war between the Humans and the Elves. And the people from there are not taking it greatly, some people are even trying to cause some riot after knowing that the Royal Family has been lying to them all this time. The Nobles are having a hard time keeping quiet about things done and for my last report, the experiment for the Ice Beasts that you have planted to them has already ended. They really believed that the Elf had now started their revenge, but this news hadn't been revealed yet. That is the end of my report, Master Yuki." Cindy reported everything that had happened within a matter of hours which wasn't surprising since it was all within the range of her plans.

"I see, if that is all you have to report then I'll drop this call now," Yuki said after a while, and just as she was about to drop the call, she heard Cindy saying something on the other line.

"Oh, yes! Master Yuki! I heard that Diana also has some news for you. It is about the Underground world of the Human Kingdom. So, please call her also." Cindy said as she finally dropped the call." Cindy added.

"That fast? Well, I didn't expect that it would be that fast. Those terrorists of the Human Kingdom sure work fast. But it works for me." Yuki smiled coldly as she dropped the call.
