Chapter 440 – Aiko vs Foxes
Aiko chased after the Foxes that were giggling at her, including Yu.
"Come here!" Aiko shouted at them angrily, chasing them.
The Foxes ran from one side of the room to the other, avoiding the cute Fox.
...
*wheeze wheeze*
Aiko was out of breath as her Stamina hit rock bottom.
'What is wrong with those Foxes...' Aiko couldn't believe how much Stamina they had.
The floor was stone-cold for Aiko, and the texture felt unnaturally smooth.
Foreign materials with foreign uses. While Aiko was interested, she was still upset at the Foxes.
The Foxes liked the cute Fox. It was not often that they had outsiders infiltrate this place, much less someone clueless.
Yu was explaining something to them in a language that Aiko could understand, but the Foxes talked in a language that Aiko could not understand at all.
It felt strange how joyful their conversation seemed and the curious glances they were giving Aiko.
'How strange...' Aiko snorted unhappily. She felt excluded and ridiculed.
'At least this place doesn't smell.' Aiko sighed.
It was a large hall with ornamented pillars. The place was still in the same dull purple colour, but that didn't mean it looked as gloomy as the hallways.
The middle of the hall was covered by a fluffy carpet. It looked similar to a throne room. Well, it did have an actual throne, so it made Aiko wonder if it was one.
The place was excessively bright, so there was no need for any illumination.
As for the Foxes, they were very colourful compared to the gloomy interior.
Their kimonos ranged from cute to sexy to straight-up lewd, but the general size and shape were the same.
'I wonder what they would look like in different clothing...' Aiko narrowed her eyes. 'It's time for revenge.'
Aiko completely concealed herself with Domain, startling most of the Foxes.
Some still knew where she was, but they wouldn't move since they couldn't feel any hostile intentions.
*slither slither*
Aiko slid on the ground by pedalling with her legs until she reached her first victim.
It was a cute Fox that made fun of Aiko, and she was also the same height.
*ruffle ruffle*
Aiko's domain came undone as she stuck to her tails like a bug.
"Kyaa!" The Fox yelped with a voice that pleased Aiko.
Aiko ruffled her tail a bit before hiding back with: "9/10 tails, I will visit you later." She chuckled evilly.
This repeated several times, making most 'unmolested' Foxes laugh until it was their turn.
Aiko sneaked behind the most mischievous Fox, but for some reason, she was able to dodge her.
Aiko paused her movements, exchanging glances. "Rawr!" She immediately chased after her. "Let me rate you!"
Yu was laughing her ass off since Aiko recovered from her gloomy mood very quickly.
That was a good thing since gloomy Aiko was a walking disaster...
Suddenly, another Fox, more gorgeous than the others, appeared.
'1... 2... 3...' Aiko counted her tails as she fell on the fallen Fox.
"Kyaa!" As the Foxies screamed, she ruffled her tails with satisfaction.
"10/10, this is the good stuff!" Aiko smothered her face with the Fox's tails. 'And it smells amazing too...'
But Aiko didn't forget about the certain stunning Fox with 10 tails!
"You are next!" Aiko immediately attacked her next prey.
At first confused about her intentions, but seeing the other Foxes... this cute little Fox was mischievous but completely harmless.
Aiko was able to catch that breathtaking Fox without too many issues, which confused her greatly, but soon.
'This is simply incredible...' Aiko almost immediately fell asleep.

{10 tails POV}
There was chaos in her palace...
For some reason, her retainer found quite a cute Fox, and now they are indulging her.
At first, she was hesitant since all Foxes were very cunning, but hearing their endless laughter, that didn't seem to be the case.
Curiosity filled her entire being, something that didn't happen in a long, long time.
Slowly standing from her sofa, where she rested her tails, her destination was the main hall.
'At least they didn't drag her immediately into our storage room...' She sighed gently.
Walking towards the main hall, the laughter and joy increased. The ever so dull halls brightened greatly.
No longer dull with stale air, their excitement drove everything to be more colourful.
Walking into the hall, an adorable Fox chased her retainer.
At first, she was confused, but looking at her retainer's joyful face, she got to her mischief, too.
She tripped her retainer, making her fall to the ground.
The cute Foxy dived at her like any Fox would.
"Mistress!" The Fox cried out as she was 'molested' by the cute Fox. It was all fun and games, seeing others having their tails ruffled.
The cutie rated her tails before training her eyes on her.
The Fox smiled at her, letting her jump at her.
'How amusing...' It seemed like this Fox wasn't doted on enough, so she was pursuing the tails of others. She could not feel any lust from her... mostly, so she was more interested in...
*Zzzzzzzzz*
'... She fell asleep?' What a bizarre situation this was for them, but...
'What a strange energy... is this why they like her?' She tilted her head as her mind became clearer, less puffy, and restrained.
'And this Fox...' She looked at the foreign Fox that already mingled with others. She was likewise a Demonic Fox, but her expressions and feelings were so natural that one would doubt that claim.
'Is this because of her...?' She gently caressed the sleeping Fox's face, but that little rascal almost bit her with a giggle.
"Who you might be?" Once the Demonic Saintess spoke, everyone quietened.
"My name is Yu. I serve the mischievous Mistress." Yu glanced towards Aiko, who was blissfully sleeping.
"I already apologised in advance, but if you feel wronged, I can do it again." Yu smiled innocently.
The Demonic Saintess felt strange. "While you might not be as strong as she is, you can't compare yourself to her."
"I do agree..." Yu nodded her head.
The Demonic Saintess was satisfied with that answer, but that satisfaction didn't last long.
"She is too exceptional not to serve her." Yu giggled happily.
The Demonic Saintess felt like she encountered a familiar wall, one that would not budge or change sides just because she spoke a few simple words...
"You are... simple." The Demonic Saintess didn't believe that the sleeping Fox was all that exceptional. Cute, for sure, but not one of a kind.
"You will understand." Yu gave her a knowing smile. Even some of the Demonic Foxes would faint when it came to Aiko's shenanigans.
The Demonic Saintess tilted her head. "Let's talk more once she wakes up." She conceded for the time being, as she knew she would be victorious once the sleeping Fox woke up...

Aiko woke up from her blissful sleep.
Looking around, the Foxes were huddled together, looking at her curiously.
'This requires drastic measures.' Aiko narrowed her eyes.
As the Demonic Saintess wanted to talk with the cute Fox, the cutie already jumped down.
"Yu!" The previous Nightmare Aiko that resonated with everyone changed within a moment.
In front of them was now Fox with a noble air, who observed everyone.
"Yes, Mistress." Yu bowed with respect.
The Demonic Saintess was speechless about being ignored. She tried to talk again, but...
"It's time to learn another language." Moon Aiko crossed her arms. Her linguistics was maxed and couldn't improve, but that didn't mean she couldn't change it.
'My Titles changed, so Skills should too.' Aiko smirked to herself.
"Yes?" Yu was confused.
"You and you." Aiko pointed at the Foxes that changed. "You are going to talk to Yu, and she will interpret it."
The confused Foxes looked at each other, but Aiko was just starting...
...
At first, Aiko was unable to understand a thing, but as time moved along, she was able to understand more and more.
It eventually got to a point where she was able to understand their conversation.

"Yu..." Aiko narrowed her eyes.
"Yes, Mistress?" For some reason, Yu was concerned about her next words.
"Why didn't you translate everything?" Aiko immediately pinched her cheeks like Mei would always do.
Yu's face was shaped through the pinching, making Aiko giggle. "Seriously, if you translated everything, this would not take so long!" Aiko sighed.
"Mistress?" Yu was confused.
"Anyway! I'm called Vicious Jade Fox, although I don't prefer any of my nicknames, so just call me Aiko!" Aiko proclaimed to everyone, shocking them greatly.
Everyone exchanged strange looks and expressions.
"What? I believe I did translate it correctly?" Aiko tilted her head and looked at Yu.
"You did, Mistress." Yu pursed her lips. This is what she was talking about! The mind-shattering chaos that she could create.
The Demonic Saintess blinked a few times. "Aiko?"
"Yes?" Aiko tilted her head.
"That is your actual name? You know you shouldn't tell anyone." The Demonic Saintess scolded her.
"Well, you will be coming with me, so it's fine." Moon Aiko replied so flatly that it made everyone speechless.
"We didn't say we would follow you." The Demonic Saintess felt that her arrogance was unfounded.
"You won't last long..." Yu whispered under her breath, but as everyone was a Fox, it was natural that they all heard it.
Their pride got hurt, but that didn't stop Aiko.
"Let's get everyone out and discuss what's next. You don't mind if we use this as a base, right?" Aiko turned around to face the Fox with 10 tails.
The Demonic Saintess didn't mind this, as she wanted to challenge the arrogant Fox.
"Sure, we don't mind. As long as they are Foxes." The Demonic Saintess said.
"Ah... but I have a friend that isn't one. Is that fine?" Aiko didn't want to keep Feifei inside her Tails.
"Is she Human?" The Demonic Saintess asked with narrowed eyes.
Everyone in here hated Humans and would not allow them to access this place!
