Hearing Yuuko make such a weary sound.
The little fox felt a pang of sympathy, turning its head to look at Yuuko, a worried expression on its fox face.
Facing the little fox's concern, Yuuko smiled and said:
"It's nothing. I was just complaining a little to relax. No matter what happens, I won't collapse."
"Besides, don't I still have you?"
After speaking, Yuuko leaned his head over, rubbed the little fox's back, and took a deep, vigorous sniff.
The feeling of pressing one's face against a pet and inhaling deeply was incredibly stress-relieving.
As a result, Yuuko's expression eased considerably.
The little fox, meanwhile, fell into a strange silence, and after a long pause, suddenly curled its tail up.
It continuously wagged its damp, wet tail right in front of Yuuko.
The main reason was that seeing Yuuko look so exhausted made the little fox feel unbearable pity.
It figured this way, Yuuko could at least relax a little more.
Normally, she would absolutely never let Yuuko touch her tail.
After all, the tail was too sensitive, and the stimulation to the body was too great.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it.
Seeing this scene, Yuuko exclaimed in surprise, "Little Fox, you're willing to let me pet your tail!?"
The little fox turned its head away, let out a cry with its back to Yuuko, and kept wagging its moist, soft pink tail.
Its meaning was obvious.
Now, you can pet it!
Since the little fox was finally willing to let him openly pet its tail, Yuuko was extremely happy.
Without hesitation, he reached out and got to work.
He gently grasped its tail and stroked it tenderly.
It had to be said, the little fox's tail felt wonderful—smooth and warm.
If he could pet it when it wasn't wet, the fluffy feeling would be even more perfect.
But since he had the chance to pet it now, Yuuko naturally wouldn't let it go.
As the saying goes, everything has only a first time and countless subsequent times.
Since the little fox was willing to actively offer its tail to him today, once he got it used to being stroked today...
...and made it feel comfortable and numb.
...wouldn't he be able to pet the little fox's tail every day!
Any fox, once pampered, will eventually succumb!
The next day, Yuuko received complaints from his neighbors... Inside the Tenshukaku, the Raiden Shogun was seated cross-legged as usual, carefully savoring the book in her hands.
It was a light novel she had borrowed from Yuuko the previous night.
The Raiden Shogun intended to use light novels to learn more about human emotions.
And then, she was also forced to learn all sorts of strange postures.
Of course, the Raiden Shogun, who had only just begun to develop human emotions, did not yet understand the profound meaning behind them.
So, even after reading them, she didn't find anything particularly remarkable.
After reading for a long time, the Raiden Shogun closed the book, reached out to rub her temples, and softly said:
"I see, so humans can interact like this too?"
After finishing the books Yuuko had written previously, the Raiden Shogun had now opened the door to a new world.
She had learned a lot of profound knowledge.
However, the Raiden Shogun was still puzzled: since it was merely the continuation of life, why did they insist on performing so many strange and bizarre actions?
The Raiden Shogun sighed softly:
"As expected, my cultivation is still insufficient. I recognize all the words in the book."
"But the combined content contains many passages that leave me utterly perplexed."
"For example... when males and females are engaging in the continuation of life, why must the female wear black fishnets?"
"Also... why must the female call the male 'Onii-chan'?"
The Raiden Shogun covered her head with her hand and said:
"Forget it. If I get the chance later, I'll ask him. After all, these are the light novels he wrote."
Suddenly, the Raiden Shogun's eyes glowed purple, and she fixed her gaze on the Tenshukaku's main door.
The next moment, the Tenshukaku's door opened.
Following that, a pink figure walked into the Tenshukaku and approached with slightly shaky steps.
It was the chief priestess of the Grand Narukami Shrine, Yae Miko.
Yae Miko walked unsteadily up to the Raiden Shogun and said helplessly:
"So, General, what matter was so urgent that you had to summon me?"
The Raiden Shogun glanced at Yae Miko, not rushing to get to the main point, but instead asked curiously:
"Why do I feel like your body seems unwell, and your walking just now was unsteady? Has something happened?"
Hearing this question, Yae Miko's face flushed slightly. She cleared her throat and said:
"It's nothing, just a bit of physical fatigue."
The main reason was actually that petting her tail last night had been too numbing and pleasurable.
Her body hadn't fully recovered yet... After saying this, Yae Miko spread her hands and changed the subject:
"So, General, just tell me what the matter is. I still have to prepare for the Irodori Festival afterward, and I'm not always free."
Because of this, the Raiden Shogun remained silent for a moment before speaking:
"I wish to consult with you regarding Kujou Sara."
Hearing this, Yae Miko raised an eyebrow, showing surprise:
"It's truly rare for the General to actively seek my consultation. It seems the General really has changed recently."
"But... that child Sara, does the General intend to release her from prison?"
The Raiden Shogun nodded:
"After my observations, although Kujou Sara defected from the Tenryou Commission during the Vision Hunt Decree and joined the resistance."
"Ultimately, her goal in doing so was merely to stop the Vision Hunt Decree."
"Furthermore, she did not participate in the evil deeds committed by the Kujou Clan during the Vision Hunt Decree."
"Considering the merits she accumulated previously, I am considering whether to release her from prison and allow her to continue serving as an administrator in the Tenryou Commission."
Although the Kujou Clan is now in decline.
It is at least still functioning.
The Tenryou Commission is still temporarily managed by the Kujou Clan's new Clan Head, Kujou Kenji.
However, due to the Vision Hunt Decree incident, the Tenryou Commission and the Kujou Clan are currently quite short-staffed.
After all, all the corrupt individuals have been sent to prison to enjoy a lifetime meal ticket.
Considering the current decline of the Tenryou Commission, the Raiden Shogun decided to let Kujou Sara out to help run the organization.
Hearing the Raiden Shogun's proposal, Yae Miko once again showed a surprised expression:
"I must say, General, you really have changed a lot. How should I put it? You've become more humane than before..."
The Raiden Shogun shot her a look of displeasure.
Yae Miko chuckled and continued:
"However, that child Sara is serious and fair. She was indeed wronged during the Vision Hunt Decree."
"Since the Tenryou Commission is currently short-staffed, why not let Kujou Sara come out and redeem herself through service?"
"Coincidentally, the Irodori Festival requires a large number of people for patrol duties."
"How can we manage without a few helpers?"
After speaking, Yae Miko flashed a mischievous smile.
