"I know, but I won't give up!"
What kind of mother is she? She's just a manifestation of a lack of love, right?. Look at me; I'll definitely do a better job than that Tiamat!
Filling all the related symbols with symbols belonging to this Tamamo-no-Mae!
Before anyone knew it, Tamamo-no-Mae had already started a feud with Tiamat.
"Hey, you should talk less about topics like 'motherhood' in front of Tiamat if you two meet in the near future."
Felix whispered a reminder, instantly triggering Tamamo-no-Mae's jealousy.
"Why should I, humph!"
She turned her head away, deliberately avoiding looking at Felix, but actually glanced back at him from time to time, hoping he would come to comfort her.
Such an obvious movement was something any normal person could see.
"Due to her love, resentment, hatred, and other factors related to the Earth, Tiamat became one of the few truly complete Beasts on Earth, which is Human Evil."
"B̴̨̫̜̥͔͔̘̖̳̮͉̦̟̯̀͆̎̊̒͂̅̓̇̚̕e̸͖̦̳̞̦̘͓̱̜͕̱͋̍̄̚a̷̧̛̤͙̯̙̣̞͔̻̥͔͚͖̺͛̀̂̄̉͆̎̀̓̔͜s̷̛̩̄̔̾̕t̸̜̜͓̏̍̄̑̒̊̐͝ͅⅡ̶̛̝̪̻̠̣͎͖̺̹̜̘̩͇̿̃̌̎͒͘ holds the principle of R̴̆e̷̯͎̯͎͉͚̦̰͌͜t̶̡̡̧̝̭̩̻̲͙͍̱͙͖͙̋̆͆̅͛̌̄͝û̵̡͓̻͙̺̄͘͜r̷̲̪͙̺̣̹̺̲̥̼͔͈̣̤̥̃̋́̍͑̽́̅̆͠n̶̡͚̗̺͈̿́͒'."
Felix never intended to hide anything from Tamamo-no-Mae, nor did he want to be a riddle teller or play some stomach-ache-inducing trick to drive away Tamamo-no-Mae, who only needed a few nice words to appease her. He simply told her the truth openly and honestly.
As expected, Tamamo-no-Mae was stunned when she learned the truth. Her face showed only embarrassment. She obediently nestled in Felix's arms, enjoying his caresses, and said in a seemingly generous manner.
"Actually, I never cared about the term 'Mom,' which is unconventional and a bit outdated."
"Seeing that Fox suddenly chickened out," Felix teased.
"How about this? I'll try to use the Star's Womb that Tiamat gave me to summon her."
A faint pink star appeared between the boy's brows, emanating from a complex mix of pure evil and love, generating a terrifying power that even made the powerful goddess Tamamo-no-Mae tremble with fear.
"Now I understand why you said Ashiya Dōman couldn't become a true Human Evil. So that's why."
Tiamat, though she has become a Beast that destroys the world, still retains her power and endless love for children and the world.
"Want to try?"
"No!"
---
"Don't worry, I won't try it. It would be dangerous for her."
Tiamat's Spirit Origin strength far surpasses that of the supreme deities, but her output cannot be as terrifying as Durga's, which can directly destroy a star. Her powers are also not as strange and abundant as Tezcatlipoca's.
Often, she relied on her immortality, powerful physique, and rapid troop production to barely hold on.
Her main focus was on one target. Her damage output might not be as high as yours, but you would never be able to kill her.
Unless absolutely necessary, Felix would not summon her in this era.
Otherwise, without Kukulkan, doing so would be harming her.
Human Order could be very petty.
Moreover, Felix didn't want Tiamat, his mother, to suffer too much unnecessary harm.
"This is one of the drawbacks of Human Evil. It may be strong, but it will eventually attract the wrath of multiple Grand Servants."
Deities don't have this problem; powerful ones can even descend as Grand Servants, just like the Divine Ancestor.
When Tamamo-no-Mae heard these words, she felt a mixture of envy and worry for Tiamat.
Even though she now believed she was very strong, she could not withstand the attacks of many Grand Servants.
It seemed there was no need to worry about Tiamat suddenly appearing and stealing Felix.
But she would not give up!
She would definitely get the title of "Mom."
"Alright, let's not talk about this for now."
"So, what should we talk about?"
As she spoke, Tamamo-no-Mae's delicate body pressed against him, her fragrant nose exhaling a warm, moist breath that gently patted the boy's skin.
Seeing that she wanted it so quickly, Felix rolled her eyes slightly.
"What else could it be? Anyway, there's still plenty of time, so it's fine to play around."
"Great."
The greedy fox wanted to possess all your time and relationships.
This time, she didn't sleep in. After calculating the time, she thoughtfully prepared breakfast for you inside the house.
[Even though you don't need to eat that much, you still encounter Minamoto no Yorimitsu at this moment, who mysteriously delivers a lunchbox to you.]
Although she didn't say anything, you could tell from her expectant eyes that she was the one who did it.
[It's just that because she's so young, even if her hidden nature is brought to the surface, she still feels shy.]
[You take a quick bite, and while it doesn't taste bad, it's rather bland, just like something you make at home without knowing how to add the ingredients.]
Compared to Tamamo-no-Mae, she was still far inferior.
"A demon slayer who can cook?"
Tamamo-no-Mae wagged her tail in disbelief, leaning lazily against Felix's shoulder, occasionally opening her mouth to take the spoon her lover offered.
"She must be serious; she really wants to be my mom."
"Hmph, it should be us no matter what."
Turning to look at the confident Fox, Felix hesitated for a moment before remaining silent.
As I said before, it was very difficult for a young wife to pretend to be a gentle and considerate mother.
"Oh dear, do you not think we can accomplish this?"
"I believe you; of course I believe you!"
"That is right~"
Tamamo-no-Mae hugged him tighter, lowered her head, and rubbed her cheek against his arm.
"How well have you recovered your strength?"
"Much better."
The fox half-closed its eyes, and a little mist gradually escaped its lips. Its golden tail involuntarily wrapped around the boy's waist.
"Have you thought about revenge?"
"This one..."
Recently, whenever Felix mentioned the past, Tamamo-no-Mae seemed to hesitate, as if she was willing to temporarily put aside even the great hatred.
Why had you suddenly become so anxious and insecure? Were you afraid that things would develop in that direction?
"Um..."
Tamamo-no-Mae did not reply, and judging from her unwilling expression, that was clearly the case.
"How about this? Let me kill him. Anyway, the time when I really face him is getting closer and closer."
"Then we'll cheer you on!"
"This is one of my responsibilities. If we let this guy cause trouble everywhere, the world will be in chaos."
"Alright, alright, thank you for standing up for me, but let's eat first."
"Ah."
[With Minamoto no Yorimitsu joining, your three meals a day became six meals a day.]
Even if her cooking wasn't particularly delicious and was just average, you should still finish it all, adhering to the principle of not wasting food.
The girl was well aware of this and had already begun making improvements.
[At the same time, your adoptive father also told you some bad news: Ashiya Dōman is suspected of collaborating with Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji.]
[Minamoto no Mitsunaka seemed quite indifferent to Shuten-dōji, whose arm he had once cut off and forced to flee.]
The reason they didn't wipe them out completely was simply because they were too good at running away. They also had to protect Heian-kyō and couldn't stray too far.
Now, Shuten-dōji had finally shown himself, and he hoped you would embark on a journey to eliminate this threat.
[Minamoto no Yorimitsu would also be traveling with you this time.]
"Shuten-dōji..."
In some ways, she and Ibuki could be considered the same person, yet they were different.
It had the setting that you couldn't see or know the other person.
It also consciously rotated and took over the body's settings.
Similar to—
"Now it's my turn."
"Next, it's my turn."
Even after piecing it together, Felix himself was still struggling with the problem.
Didn't Ibuki get drunk in the mountains before and sleep for several years?
He didn't go out in the middle, and Shuten-dōji continued to eat and drink well as usual.
The two were suspected to have appeared around the same time.
In the end, Felix gave up thinking.
Thinking about it wouldn't help; we might as well go and see for ourselves.
Felix would be quite happy if he could meet Ashiya Dōman, that clown.
Say one thing—
"Hey, you clown, look at what's on my forehead. It hasn't moved in all these years. Could it be that you've been researching how to become a "lil Beast"?"
So, it's like a package that's been breached!
Minamoto no Yorimitsu was packing her bags to accompany Felix on his mission to defeat Shuten-dōji.
Because of the long journey, she prepared a lot of things, but she didn't know if she would need them.
"Sis, there's no need to go to all that trouble."
With power, when you're out and about, if you want something, you can just make it out with your hands.
The "Fantasy Realization" feature from Fox was indeed very useful.
"No, we should be on the safe side."
As soon as Minamoto no Yorimitsu finished speaking, he noticed a cute pink fox still sitting on the boy's shoulder and raised an eyebrow.
"Should we bring Umeko along for something this dangerous?"
"Don't doubt it; it's a divine beast, very powerful!"
Tamamo-no-Mae raised her claws in utter boredom, which inexplicably annoyed Minamoto no Yorimitsu.
It seemed that Felix was very interested in this fox of unknown origin.
"Forget it, it's a divine beast after all. At worst, it will run away."
Minamoto no Yorimitsu still complied with Felix's wishes.
Don't bother arguing with a fox.
"Don't worry, we're mainly here for sightseeing," Felix said nonchalantly.
"Don't underestimate Shuten-dōji, who is famous throughout Mount Ōe."
"Alright."
However, Felix didn't listen at all.
It was only because Shuten-dōji was really bad that she was one of the few snake/dragon servants who could enter the Green Milk Dragon—Bishonen dungeon. (Guess the joke?! ;D).
