The Fox Goddess

"Do you want to try doing that kind of training, I mean… I can definitely give you one. Though I'll make it easier for you since you are not built like Yumie, the set of training that I gave her is much harsher because of her Physique. Let's be honest with ourselves here, even though you are currently an Archangel which innately makes you stronger of course, it is still much weaker compared to Yumie who has the Physique of an Elemental Hydra." Yuki said without much emotion in her face and voice as she calmly explained the truth, that even though Fumiko has the Physique of an Archangel, it was still below an Elemental Hydra.

"Oh wow, so that explains why Yumie somehow resembles a Dragon, but she openly denies it by saying that she is not a dragon. I didn't know that, I only know that she is somehow connected to a Dragon Bloodline because she resembles a Dragon. But, back to the topic. If you can do it, then please. I want to train as much as possible while we are here." Fumiko was pleasantly shocked after hearing Yumie's true identity from Yuki as it was something she didn't know, she even thought that even Kurokami didn't know that fact. But ignoring that fact for now, she was more interested in Yuki's plan for her.

"Don't worry, I already got that cover. The thing that you really need to consider is the place you're going to be training. You can't have it here, the backyard is too small, can't also do it in the city because it is going to cost a lot of money to rent out a place, and if you are going to do it outside, like out in the forest or the mountain, or just anywhere particularly open. I will have to refuse because it is simply too dangerous. Other people might try to interrupt, then again maybe I am just overthinking it." Yuki expressed her concern but before Fumiko could say anything, Yuki continued.

"But if you truly think that you are going to be fine all alone practicing, then I will let you. But you need to be inside of the Barrier that is in this house, also I'll make the strongest Puppet that I can to protect you while you train. The reason that you are going to be alone is so that you can concentrate more and the most important reason is that I'll be gone for a few days or weeks for an errand. Once I am done, I'm going to supervise you when I am free." Yuki finally said the real reason why she didn't want to let Fumiko train outside all alone, was because she was going to leave for an unknown amount of time for her Ranking Up.

But because she felt like she was being too hard and tight on her, she wanted to let Fumiko do what she wanted because it might be too suffocating for them if she didn't let her, or anyone generally. That was one of the things that she wanted to get rid of, that kind of personality of hers where she just wanted to keep everyone by her side at all times. She was scared of her own possessiveness because it might be just the cause of why someone would leave her and that is something she doesn't want to happen.

"I… I understand your concern, but I promise you. I will show you great results in just a week! So please let me train here, it doesn't matter to me where it is going to be held, but I just want to train so that I can be stronger." Fumiko stood up as she then got close to Yuki and held her hand as she begged for her to let her train, she even went and said that the place didn't matter to her, as long as she could do it, she was going to be happy.

"If you really want to, then there is no reason for me to refuse as there are only positives in this. But don't ever try to overexert yourself, I don't care if you think you still can, but if your body says otherwise, then stop immediately to take a rest." Yuki said in a shocked tone as she was not expecting Fumiko to go this far just to get permission, but as she already thought before, she was already going to let her do it.

"Yes! Thank you so much! I promise to not push myself too much. Hehehe…. I wonder, once we meet again, will I be able to make you take a few steps back?" Fumiko was already dreaming of what was going to happen once they met again and because she was talking quite loudly, Yuki was able to hear it very well, and she just chuckled in response. She was not expecting her to think like that.

"Oh, getting arrogant now, are we? Are you sure that you can do that once we meet again?" Yuki laughed as she looked at Fumiko seriously as if she was really accepting her challenge of them fighting together, and being stared at Yuki so seriously made Fumiko swallow her words immediately. She doesn't know what has gotten in her to be able to say that, but she doesn't want to back out now or else she is just going to make fun of more.

"Ha! Am I arrogant? Have you looked at yourself lately? You don't even care if the person in front of you is a God, you'll still look down on them like they are ants!" Fumiko retorted as she puffed out her cheeks and looked away from Yuki. But she wasn't even done, she then swore something that made Yuki swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

"I promise you this, if I can't make you take a few or even just one, I'll grant you one wish from me!" Fumiko said so boldly but after she finally realized what she had done, she wanted nothing more but just to take it all back, especially after seeing the serious look in Yuki. Because now she knows that she is going to try her absolute best to win.

And she immediately felt nervous for her own safety, so she racked her brain to think what she could do to at least suppress the inevitable. As she thinks of ways, Yuki on the other hand is thinking about what kind of wish she wants from her, and just as she thinks about one, Fumiko finally has a way to make it even for the two of them.

"Don't get too excited yet! If you win, it's not going to be fair because you are already stronger than me in many ways! So why don't we make it even by suppressing our powers to just a Human? You can do that, right? I remember reading something about a piece of treasure that can suppress your powers." Fumiko immediately said what she thought of to which Yuki agreed without thinking too much about it.

"That's fine. It wouldn't matter anyway as I'm going to win anyway, but still… good luck. You're going to need it~" Yuki said with a smirk as she grabbed all of the soiled plates took them back to the kitchen and began to clean them.
