"Champion," One of the priestesses says when I start to calm down. "Sorry for our actions. We struggle to see around us when there are words to write. Do you have the tools needed to write? We have a set we would love to give you if you need it. I know it isn't much for our rude behavior. If there is a work you wish to have copied for you, please let us know. One of our Priestesses loves to write children's stories. Would you like so sent to you? I know you have welcod a number of new lives into the world. We would love to help you care for them, and reading a story is a great way for them to start learning about the world around them."
"That would be nice," I say. "Do the stories make them rapist?"
"No, Champion. We will read over them carefully to make sure they promote kindness and caring for everyone."
"Thank you."
"No need to thank us. This is our attempt to make up for our shortcomings. Please don't hesitate to ask us for help. I have heard about your child, Contract. We would be happy to help write out contracts for you if you need."
"I'll rember that."
"That is enough," Yuki says, stopping the Priestess. "I think we should get ho. What do you think, dear? Irlo should be free to play with soon."
"Yes," I say. Yuki helps stand up and leave the strange temple. Geta is waiting outside the door, holding Nakuma from bursting through the door. Geta sweeps up into her arms the second I'm outside. A blur of orange flies past , and Yuki lets out a yelp, but Geta just takes to the carriage, letting the kitsunes figure themselves out.
"Try to get so rest," Geta says. "I'm sorry the Goddesses aren't very useful. If you wish, we can talk to War tomorrow before we head out to et Duchess Fluvis. I just got word her Mother and Sister will be joining her for a bit, and she thinks you being down there would be a good idea. She is hoping to have her and the kids join our family."
"Ok," I whisper. "Will she make fuck her for help?"
"Who?"
"War."
"Pregnancy makes it hard to fight, so I don't think so. I don't know how much she will do. She'll hardly help end it early, so the only way she'll truly help is if we are going to be at a severe disadvantage. But there are a few Goddesses that have temples that we can visit. Not unless the rest of the elder council enforces Fertility's ssage. Death is behind it, and I know Hearth is happy to join Love and Fertility as well. I don't know if Love has accepted Hearth. Nature won't agree. Future is unknown, as you can guess. Royalty is only good for information. So, without offering more kids to the Goddesses, there isn't much they will do."
"Dragon could've warned how much I would have to whore myself out," I say, burying my head under my Geta's massive tits. How much bigger could they grow? "Can we go?"
"Yuki! Get that girl under control. Alzi wishes to leave!" Geta shouts at the fighting kitsunes.
"I fucking know! Nakuma, get inside the carriage!"
"You just want to be ignored by Alzi again. Getting all fucking wet over that stupid dragon that hardly loves you!" Nakuma shouts.
"Bitch!" Yuki screams. "Don't fucking block my... let go or I will tell Mother you are a danger to Alzi."
"I love you."
"I know Nakuma, and I love you," Yuki says. It takes a few minutes for Yuki to coax Nakuma back into the carriage, the kitsune's tails looking like they've been tied in knots when they finally sit down across from .
"Castle," Geta says, getting the carriage to lurch forward.
Yuki and Nakuma fight about sothing. Yuki keeps it private with her mana, but it makes her blush hard.
I can ask Nakuma about it and maybe promise to make Yuki immobile so she has to rely on Nakuma to take care of her. She should like that, right? And it isn't like Yuki doesn't owe a lot for my treatnt at the brothel. Or I can talk about the Space Goddess champion thing.
Maybe it'll distract . Space has done so things that have helped .
"Nakuma," I say, freezing their little fight. "Space told to bring a kitsune that has the space affinity to her. Probably to make you a champion, or maybe she did tell ? I should ask."
'Is it to make them a champion? I feel like I may be making that up now.'
'That is the point, dear.'
"Yes. To make the kitsune a champion. Nanoka already said no, so it is between you and the Queen. Does the Queen have the space affinity?" I ask. "I just assud she did after Nanoka told to consider her."
"It is so strange that you use my grandmother's na so causally," Yuki says, probably happy to switch from their private argunt. "But yes, Mother, Nakuma, and Nanoka have the space affinity. Are you sure you want to give that status to miss crazy?"
"I don't know. Would it be better to give the Queen that power?" I ask. Nakuma's eyes turn a little red at Yuki's comnt, but Yuki doesn't seem to notice or care.
"I want to say no," Yuki sighs. "Which leaves us to giving it to my Miki's wife, or Tanatsu. Please don't give it to Tanatsu; she's weird and will not help you even if you give it to her. She's almost worse than Nakuma in her love life. She'll run away the second that dead woman is able to walk. I don't care to beco Queen, so it wouldn't be terrible to give it to Miki's wife, but it is better to keep that power in the family, Alzi. So, Nakuma does beco the right answer. However, my no to my Mother is purely based on my not liking her. She's strong, and becoming a champion would be very useful in the war. I'm not sure what she would give you in return for the opportunity, but it should be a lot."
"Of course I should have it! I could show you my love so much better if I had the power of a Champion, and what do you an, not wanting to be Queen! I'm getting strong enough to take on your Mother! I think she let leave our realm so that I would have a better chance of dying so she could keep the throne for longer."
"My Mother isn't worried about you, Nakuma. She's worried about her eldest daughter. Lucky for Mother, she doesn't have to worry about my older sister becoming a champion. At least a champion of space."
"She does have to worry about ! I'm one of the best fighters of our people. Your sister has been coming up with ways to beat because she knows I could take her in just a few years."
This looks like a new fight between them, one that has a bit more feeling behind it.
"Dear," Geta says. "You should talk to the Kitsune Queen. You'll have to be careful. She'll only talk to you alone, just as the true Phoenix will find a way to separate you from anyone you co with. Do not make any promises to the Queen. Let her talk, then offer it back to Sarania, Kelly, and Yuki. I think Yuki will give in if her Mother really brings a good reason to let her beco the Champion. I'll do what I can to watch over the conversation, but it isn't easy. The Queens are queens due to their strength."
"I guess," I sigh. " I was hoping it would be an easy answer. I need to pick fast, I think."
"Yes, a good reason to give the title to one that is already Strong. Did the Goddesses ever na a kitsune?"
"She told Nakuma the first ti we t."
"Then make sure the Queen gives you a very good reason it should be her over Nakuma."
"Alright," I say. Nakuma sohow forced their fight into a make-out session, which is a very pretty sight. I just wish I didn't have sex with those I didn't care about so much today. It would make their show a lot better.
"I think Irlo will be ready for us when we get to the castle," Geta says. "Would you like to eat now? I've got so sandwiches and you have room to sit on the bench if you like."
"Yes, Mommy will be mad if I don't eat, and I'm hungry. Thank you."
"Of course, dear," Geta says.
...
"DADDY!" Irlo screams as I shuffle out of the carriage. Sarania is standing by while Irlo cos running at . She jumps up onto my thigh and hugs it tight. "I'm a champion like you, Daddy!"
"Yes, dear," I say, patting her head. "We are champions together. Are you feeling better? You and your sister scared a lot."
"I'm good! Mommy was really worried, but I'm fine now that I'm used to the funny way everything looks. Mommy says I have to be careful."
"Yes, you need to be careful that others don't take advantage of you. But you have a lot of people to help you. I'm sure your Mother has a good plan to get you ready for your station."
"I'll be careful! I want to show you the flowers!" Irlo says, her cute tail wagging like a dog, her big eyes blinking at . Not that I would ever tell her no.
"I would love to see them," I say, patting her head. "Where to?"
"This way!" Irlo says, running off across the castle grounds.
"Well, go get her," Sarania chuckles.
"Um," I say like an idiot. "Yeah. Shoes. No, I can run in heels. Ok." Irlo turns around, putting her hands on her hips. "Sorry, baby! I'm coming, I thought I had to switch shoes for a mont!"
Maybe I should've switched out my shoes. The small stilts aren't great for running, but my skills cover it up enough to catch up with my little kid. My long legs work well at catching up to my little girl as we rush across the well-kept grass. When I reach her, I lift her high in the sky and jump off, my wings coming out. Which slows down a lot, ruining the effect I was going for, but it does make it easy to pull my little cutie to my chest and fly off.
"Point where I need to go," I say. "We can run around when we get there."
