Chapter 88: Fox Tales (2)

Vivian wasn't angry, she was panicked! She was an extremely secretive person who liked to keep her hand concealed. In the short time span of a few seconds two of her biggest secrets had been exposed. She gazed down at the helpless Succubus, her freehand was pinned beneath one of Vivian's knees while the other was clutching Vivian's own plush doll. With Vivian's freehand pressing Agni's head into the floorboard she would never be able to escape. Vivian immediately realized what happened, but that didn't make her any less annoyed!!

*I suppose….I didn't lock the door..* Vivian thought to herself, trying to hammer the reasoning into her own brain.

*It's technically my fault but...she saw it!!* Vivian thought as her eye twitched and she felt her grip on the katana tighten.

"What--- what, Ugh!" She wanted to ask what Agni saw, but she knew! She could only do damage control at this point. Vivian reluctantly got to her feet, releasing Agni in the process and quickly moving towards the door. She concealed her true form, turning into the teenage version of herself before poking her head out of her bedroom door. Thankfully no one was in the hallway, otherwise she would have to resort to being a little...rough.

Vivian lingered, her head poked out of the doorway for a few more moments to make doubly sure that no one could have seen. That's when she felt a strange sensation that made her spine tingle and her knees buckle at the same time.

"Wh-what are you doing!?" Vivian shouted as she twirled around, pressing her back against the open door in the process.

Agni's eyes had now taken on a pink hue and a curious smile spread across her face.

"You're an adult. Which means I don't have to hold back. I can touch it as much as I want--right?" Agni said as she began to crawl towards Vivian, a deviant's look in her eye.

"Touch what? W-wait a minute." A strange sensation overcame Vivian as she tried to shrink back and failed, for she was now pressed against the door.

Agni simply laughed as she drew near and began to gently caress Vivian's tail, pressing it against her face and running her hands along the length. Vivian couldn't move, partially due to the paralytic sensation of pleasure surging along her spine.

"Where are you touching!" She could only mouth a protest, but it didn't match her expression at all as a blush overcame her.

"Stop it! This isn't appropriate!" Vivian protested again as Agni snuggled close to her and continued indulging in the softness of Vivian's fluffy tails which were now practically covering her in softness.

This lasted for several minutes until Vivian finally found the strength to escape by darting to a corner of the room.

"Aww. I just wanted to touch them more." Agni said dejectedly. If it were Agni from just two weeks ago she would have cringed at the way she was currently acting. A recent myriad of experiences, both manufactured and organic, showed her that it was a woman's prerogative to savor the feelings which come her way. In this way she learned to indulge in simple things. The way certain fabrics felt on her skin, the scent of floral bath water, the warmth of Katrin's bosom as the two slept in the same bed -- she was slowly learning that she could consume these experiences and "gain" something from them. Although she wasn't fully aware just what this "something" was.

It was for this reason that she now had 0 shame when it came to caressing the f*ck out of Vivian's fox-tails.

*She let me do it so..secretly she doesn't mind. I'll have to work on her more later..* Agni thought to herself upon realizing that she shouldn't push too far ahead in one encounter.

"Fine.." Agni said, feigning disappointment as she got to her feet.

Vivian cautiously got to her feet, her hand pressed firmly over her breasts as she walked towards the door behind Agni, making sure to keep an eye on the succubus. She then locked it and turned to face her visitor.

Vivian wasn't exactly sure where to begin, this was the first time something like this happened. Her usual circle of acquaintances knew of her powers. Vixen was a Beastia category adventurer class, a fox-humanoid with illusionary magic. More specifically, she had the ability to morph herself and certain items dear to her as she saw fit. While her body could only be aged forward or backwards, inanimate objects could be freely reshaped as she desired. Her "towel" had always been a katana. At this point she used her unique magic to once more make her blade into a towel and drape it around her abdomen.

"What do you want?" Vivian said as she glanced downward, her eyes transfixed on the floor.

"Hmm? I want to go to Kirlunst. I came to ask you about it." Agni responded.

"Don't be coy. I meant, what do you want to keep this a secret?" Vivian asked.

"Keep it a secret? You mean the transformation?"

"Yes. That and the true abilities of my weapons." Vivian replied.

"Those are weapons? Wow that's really handy. But, why does something like that need to be a secret?"

"You're really naive, aren't you? Do you know how dangerous this world can be? Sometimes the difference between life and death is knowledge." Vivian said as she walked towards a nearby wardrobe and revealed an assortment of kimonos and yukatas in various styles.

"Especially in a battle. If you can surprise your enemy and dispatch them with a single blow--you've won. There are some limits but I can change the shape and characteristics of my weapons as I please. For example--" Vivian turned towards Agni and ripped her towel from around her waist. She turned it into a katana, this time it was much shorter in blade length -- at least for a moment as the blade extended forth and stopped just 3 cm from Agni's face.

"Wow. That's really cool. I can do something sort of similar." Agni said as she lifted her left hand and caused her fingertips to extend just over three meters, nearly touching the door of the bedroom. Vivian was both surprised and agitated.

"I just explained how keeping knowledge to yourself could be the difference between life and death….why would you show me that-- nevermind." Still, she couldn't help but be impressed.

*Specialist classes really are different. From what I know of succubus that isn't even her main ability.* Vivian thought as she got dressed. Agni made herself at home, taking a seat on Vivian's bed as she ran her fingers across the silk sheets.

"So, I'm asking what will it take for you to keep this a secret? These are two secrets I absolutely do not want to get out for various reasons. You're the first person to know both of these secrets. Knowing just one is manageable for me, but both is problematic." Vivian said as she walked over to the bed and sat down next to Agni so that she could better gauge her response.

Instead Agni's eyes were glued to Vivian's tails, prompting Vivian to sigh.

"I have a few conditions!" Agni finally said with a smile.

"A few? Don't you think you're getting ahead of yourself? You do realize I could end you and no one would be the wiser, right?" Vivian asked as she folded her arms.

In response to this Agni began to gently caress her nearest tail. Vivian felt a twinge in her spine as her body began to melt once again.

"S-stop it!" She stammered.

"My first condition is of course to accompany me to Kirlunst. The second is to let me...call you Vivi and fluff your tails whenever I want."

"Huh?" Vivian thought her ears deceived her, thus her strong reaction.

"But...that's nothing. You realize you could ask for Gols, even Chapel points. Magical tools, gear -- all of these would be reasonable. But you want me to take you someplace I already agreed to and….let you fluff my tails?"

"And to call you Vivi." Agni added as she continued brushing Vivian's face against her cheek.

Vivian had mixed feelings about Agni's demands. On one hand what she asked for was much less than Vivian expected. In a way this would solve two problems as Agni would be happy with simple demands being fulfilled unless--

"Okay. But you can't make any future demands about this and if you break your word the punishment will be...severe. You can't tell anyone! Not even Katrin!" Vivian was certain she'd found Agni's "angle" but the Succubus immediately agreed. This left Vivian puzzled.

*Wait. She was serious, that's ALL she wants?*

"Then it's a deal. Even in public, in front of your friends or--"

"Wait, wait wait wait! I never agreed to that!" Vivian protested.

"Huhhhhhhhhhhhh? You're already going back on your word? The Doyenne of Mystic Tower is not trustworthy." Agni said, the expression on her face was both condescending and embellished.

*She got me. Ugh.* Vivian thought as a cold sweat overcame her. She was so wrapped up in finding the angle that she forgot about the specifics.

"Fine.. just keep it to a minimum. Remember my status. Wah! W-where are you touching!?"
