450 A lot to recount
Vincent praised Lupa for her accomplishnts. He told her to continue this subject at a later date. He currently had two things in his mind.
One was to check on Jun Ye Rim’s condition. The other was to retell what happened in the six days living in the forest, and there was a lot to talk about.
Vivid and Pussy soon arrived. Nick and Vivid fist-bumped before going to check on Jun Ye Rim. Pussy hugged Clair before doing the sa.
“How has everyone been? I hope everyone didn’t miss us too much.” Vincent asked while walking towards the mansion.
“We missed my mate and sister a lot. Sleeping felt different.” Lupa said while not ntioning secretly slling Vincent’s clothes before going to sleep.
*Cough* “But why did my mate co sooner? Is it because of the pointy ear elf?” Lupa slyly tried to change the subject after fearing getting caught. She forgot to hide Vincent’s clothes because they arrived earlier than expected.
“Things happened, and I had to fight three large boars. It was all skinny and weak, but it was still a Great Yok Boar nonetheless. It was weaker than the one you killed in Aero Forest.” *Sigh* ” But I misjudged my control and used too much mana. Now I feel exhausted.”
“Don’t worry, my mate. Best girl Lupa will heal the right arm with my body heat.” Lupa smiled, and her thoughts could be read like an open book. It was obvious she was going to use his right arm as a pillow.
[Pfff. Hahaha. I don’t think you will be able to sleep well tonight. Not after you got used to sleeping without Plow on your stomach and Lupa stealing your arm for herself like a body pillow.]
.....
*Cough* “Here. Could you take Zero to the garden for ?” Vincent gave Zero to Lupa.
Unexpectedly, Vincent gave Lupa the perfect excuse to return his clothes back where they belonged. Lupa held Zero with a firm grip and ran like the wind.
Plow was being held by Lilith. The mont Lupa left, she wanted attention next. Plow cutely barked and ntioned how much she missed her warm, soft bed.
Vincent facepald and quickly headed to Jun Ye Rim’s bedroom. He opened the door and joined the rest.
Vincent saw that the bedroom was crowded with everyone apart from Lupa inside. Jun Ye Rim didn’t look too happy about it. She probably felt stuffy.
Vincent understood why hospitals limit visitations and visitors. He never had the problem, so he never understood the reason. However, the pri example with in front of him.
A patient moving their head from left to right too much might cause an injury. A patient like Jun Ye Rim, who had a head injury, would increase the risks of such a rare thing happening.
Vincent focused his gaze and checked her condition. He wanted to make sure she was better before saying a few words and leaving her to rest.
.
[Na] Jun Ye Rim
[Condition] Exhausted, Bone Damage (Major Fractures – Left Arm), Nerve Damage (Partly Paralyzed – Left Arm)
.
Apart from the damage to her arm, the wound on the back of her head was healed. The blood she lost was replenished. Or replenished enough not to appear as a condition.
It made Vincent eager to learn what kind of potion or food she was given. Vincent feared Zero might suck him dry one day.
[Jun Ye Rim looks better now, and her head wound is healed.]
[Vincent, how about we let Jun Ye Rim rest in peace while you also go to rest? Today was a ntally and physically exhausting day, after all. Not to ntion how you and Lilith have a lot to explain to the others.]
Jun Ye Rim looked at Vincent. She frowned, yet it wasn’t an expression made with malice. It was closer to pondering while being bothered.
“You can all go because I want to rest. It’s not like I need company while I sleep.” Jun Ye Rim said. She peeked at Vincent and continued, “It’s not like I have to offer my thanks or anything.”
Both Nick and Clair expressed how delighted they were to see Jun Ye Rim safe and sound. They were worried about her condition after what happened.
Nick, Clair, Vivid, and Pussy felt they were bothering Jun Ye Rim after hearing such words. They offered to help if she ever needed help with anything and left, leaving the Lionhearts in the bedroom with Jun Ye Rim.
“Call for us or call for Kazumi if you need help.” Vincent offered. He turned around, facing the door, and continued before leaving, “Co and find one of us if you need soone to keep you company. ”
One by one, Ester, Iris, and Lilith offered to keep Jun Ye Rim company if she wished before leaving her alone.
Jun Ye Rim stared at the door as it closed, leaving her alone in her bedroom. “Is everyone accepting soone like ?” She mumbled.
Blemish summoned itself and cuddled with Jun Ye Rim. It tried to express delight for its master while trying to lift her spirits.
“Blemish. Do you think Vincent hated how I sent him away? He helped , so I wanted to help him rest earlier.”
*Hiss, hiss*
“No, I don’t like him. Why would I like a womanizer human th-that... saw all of . He can have my body, but he can never have my heart. Humph.”
*~Hiss~*
“What do you an I look happier after he broke my arm?” Jun Ye Rim grabbed her sheets and covered her head. “I am going to sleep, so do whatever you want. I am not talking anymore.”
*Hiss...* Blemish widened its mouth a ford a faint smile. It unsummoned itself a while later.
*Lionheart Bedroom*
That evening, Vincent and Lilith had a lot to recount about their week. The evening quickly passed, and night arrived. Ester, Lupa, Iris, and Plow were now on the sa page.
The mysterious hostile teen in lissa’s team and the five Great Yok Boars who appeared in a place that was under constant surveillance brought a frown on everyone’s face. No matter where they went, danger was lurking.
*Tap* “Don’t worry. Best girl Lupa beca stronger. My mate said how I beca very strong, and my leg beca very strong too.” Lupa boasted while tapping her chest. She slyly peeked at Plow and smirked.
“Plow beca strong too!” *Pho!* Plow jumped from Vincent’s lap and went to the middle of the bed.
One of her controllable eight tails changed its appearance into a softer and more liquidy state. It wiggled back inside the small fox body. Plow now had seven tails attached to her rear.
However, Plow wasn’t going to be called a seven-tailed fox. The tail slowly wiggled from the left shoulder, and it extended out like a snake for about one ter in length.
It took a handful of seconds to stop wiggling. Ten seconds later, the tentacle completely stabilized, and its consistency beca the sa as the jewel-like foot and the jewel-like tails. It looked as if this tail could also beco harder at will like them.
Plow used the shoulder tentacle-like tail to tap her little chest. *Tap* “Plow is very very strong now.” *~Pho~* She said after slyly copying Lupa’s chest tap.
Plow looked at everyone to see their expressions. She was so proud to master the control of her second tail that she hoped her attention would overshadow Lupa’s.
However, the complents Plow expected didn’t co. No one praised Plow for becoming stronger.
So called her cute, while others were already planning to give little Plow all kinds of small jobs. Lupa even slyly suggested having her back scratched by Plow’s tail.
Plow pouted and went near the pillows. “Plow is very, very strong now. Look at my very, very strong tail!” *Pho!* She said before throwing pillows on everyone with the shoulder tail.
[Hmm. If Plow can throw a pillow with a reasonable child-like force when she is small, then I wonder how strong her tail will beco in Digest form? The larger Plow grows, the stronger she can get.]
Vincent lifted Plow and placed her on his lap. He touched the shoulder tail, and the texture felt the sa as the seven tails. It was soft and smooth like a pillow.
“Plow has beco stronger than last week’s Plow. ” Vincent praised. He gently pinched her cheek and continued, ” Did you forget your age, little Plow? You were one year and so months old when you ca to our family. It is equivalent to about eight human years. You are still a child, Plow, like Leah, Clara, Beth, Olive, and Lian. So train at your own pace and grow healthy and well.”
Ester, “Grow healthy and well, Plow. You will always have a place with us.”
Lupa, “Grow storger my rival. I want a fair ga.”
Iris, “Sprout... I an grow good healthy.”
Lilith, “Grow strong and cute, our Plow.”
[Yeah, grow big little Plow. I want to see what Vincent will do about it in the future, haha.]
Vincent, “...”
Plow beca delighted by the complints. She decided to control more tails in the future. However, Plow forgot the most important fact.
The more tails Plow controlled and moved to different places of her body, the fewer tails remained on her rear. Inevitably, Plow would beco a nine-tailed fox with no tails one day if this progress continued.
“Vincent. Can you also check my status window?” Ester asked. She didn’t want to see her stats with her adventurer’s card. She wanted to have a surprise or a shock along with Vincent.
