My next life as the Winter Fox? I just want a carefree life

"Pfwaa!! Shishou, I don't think I can take it!" (Sasha)

"Weren't you the one that wanted to be treated like a big girl? Come on. Just spread your legs further."

"Aaa! It… hurts…" (Sasha)

"You're almost there. Just one more push and…"

*CRACK*

"Ouch! My back!" (Sasha)

Yeah. I know what you're thinking. If someone were to hear all these noises without knowing the context, they would definitely think I unleashed my carnal desires on Sasha. But that's not what's going on. It's training.

After we left town we eventually stumbled upon an open grass field. We decided to take a break and for a while I became 'Shishou'. Yes. This is training. Right now I was pressing on Sasha's back and helping her develop her flexibility. To be more precise I'm trying to make her do a perfect split. Naturally it's easier said than done. And the crack you heard was coming from her back.

Hey, you can't be flexible like a cat without breaking some bones first.

*Pant**Pant*

"Shishou… that was too intense…" (Sasha)

"Spare me. You pulled it off in the end, didn't you? This will become a daily routine for you until you can do it in your sleep."

"This isn't fun… can't we just skip to combat training?" (Sasha)

"No. Without balance and proper body control that would be pointless. You need to learn to walk before you can run. Without the basics, you'll never win a fight."

For now Yuki and Stella were sitting and watching from the sidelines. Stella has way more flexibility than Sasha. She can even do a standing split like it's nothing. So there's no work for me to put in on that end. However there's something else I have to do with her.

"Alright, take a break, Sasha. In the meantime, Stella, come over here. It's your turn. I need to start teaching you how to see without using your eyes."

I had Stella extend her palm. Then I went around her and placed my hand on top of hers. She let out an audible "Kya". I can understand that my hands are cold. But why did she blush? Nevermind.

"Now pay attention, Stella. Regardless of elemental affinity or how gifted you are at using magic, this is something anyone can do as long as you have mana. It's called mana pulse."

Mana pulse. How can I best describe it? It's equivalent to the echolocation used by bats or dolphins. But instead of sound, we're using mana. By emitting mana pulses, which can't be seen by the naked eye, you get feedback of your surroundings. A sort of echo. And with this echo a clear picture is formed in the user's head regarding the size, shape and even texture of the environment.

Tears formed in Stella's eyes.

"I… I can see!! I can really see! Thank you!! Thank you Shishou!!!" (Stella)

"Woah! Hold your horses. Mana pulse isn't free, after all. It costs 1 MP per pulse. So until you improve your mana pool, don't overuse it. Besides, this will be just the start. Eventually I'll sharpen your other senses, so you won't need to rely on it at all."

Although if I am honest, mana pulse saved my ass a few times during my one week cave exploration under Shamoa's guidance.

"Shishou… because of your hard work, I can see again. And you freed me and my sister… it's like we're being protected by your wings." (Stella)

"Wings…"

So I’m like a mother bird, protecting the chicks under its wings? It's a rather weird analogy.

"However… who is going to protect you?" (Stella)

"Wha? What's this suddenly? Do I look like I need protecting?"

"Me and my sister will become your sword and shield." (Stella)

"That's a bold statement and not an easy goal to achieve. Save those lines for when you get stronger. Besides, obviously you're going to help me to pay me back for what I spent on you girls."

"Yes. It's a promise! Umm… as for paying back… Shishou… please sleep with me!!" (Stella)

A vein popped on my forehead.

I didn't reply. Instead I moved towards Sasha who… fell asleep like a rock.

"Oy.” 

“ZZZ…” (Sasha)

“ZZZ? This isn’t a manga! Get up!” 

“Wha!?” (Sasha)

“Look after your sister properly. She came and said she wanted to sleep with me.” 

“W-what!? How long was I asleep? Then… you two have already…” (Sasha)

“Who would do anything like that?” 

“Are you saying my Stella has no charm as a woman!? Or wait… you woke me up because you wanted to do us both at the same time?” (Sasha)

“For the love of… Yuki, help me out here."

"You want me to teach them how to service you because I have more experience?" (Yuki)

"You're not helping, perverted woman!! Shit! This conversation ends here, got it? Back to training, all 3 of you!"

"Eeh!? Me too? But I don't even…" (Yuki)

"It's punishment for getting on my nerves."

These siblings really are troublesome. And Yuki is literally a landmine. How the hell am I going to put up with them? What would Dad do? He'd beat me up with a wooden sword I guess… but I don't think it's the best approach here. They might get funny ideas. God… please give me a sign on how to deal with them.

------

"How to deal with them? What silly question is this? Just fuck them already! When are you going to learn that this world doesn't have the moral values of your old one? Give in to your desires. I mean just because you love little girls, doesn't make you a lolicon!" (Nyarla)

The Divine Realm. It is the Homeworld of the Gods and Goddesses. Just as the mortal races require a world to live in, the same rule applies for the Gods. Although each God can have their own personal pocket dimension, the Divine Realm is the place where they actually live and hang out.

A place where the sun never sets with architecture reminiscent of Greek or Roman structures. However that doesn't mean Gods live in a primitive age. They only chose that style because of the beauty. Inside buildings, depending on each Gods' personal preference you could even find a modern apartment layout.

And right now, a certain Goddess was watching from her house the life of Edelweiss. The Goddess of Chaos, Nyarlathotep. 

"Aren't you asking too much, from an otherworlder? You sure say twisted stuff, Nyarla."

"Shut up, Lidia. I don't approve of someone being a wimp."

Lidia, the Goddess of Music, appears to be a young and gorgeous woman with ankle-length crimson hair that has ringlets at the end where there are pink side-locks with bangs swept to the right side and she has the clearest shade of azure in her eyes.

She wears a red frilly gown with gold lining, black gloves and a matching large red umbrella, giving her an image of a high-class lady.

"Would you like to sing you a lullaby to calm yourself?"

"Do I look like a baby?"

"Fufu. I never get bored around you. But seriously, Nyarla, giving that mortal the powers of the Ice Age Dragon… it's only a matter of time until 'he' notices. You know that, right?"

"Yeah. And… to be honest I can't wait. If possible I would like to rush things… but that's just how chaos works. Unpredictable results of madness."

"I guess. Do you mind if I stay for a while longer and watch the show with you?"

"Be my guest. You're one of the few friends I have here. People tend to freak out around my house.

Now then, Edelweiss… show us something amusing."
