Chapter 154 - The Next Day

"What is this? You look cheerful but at the same time, you are depressed. The way you smile and then frown and vice versa makes me disgusted." That poisonous word was said by Ruciel. And true at her words, the girl put on a disgusted expression. 

At times like this, at times when I was stressed because I know that the destruction of the world was caused by something I did accidentally, and when I was happy because I evolved into Four Tails Fox, I wanted the girl to comfort and feel the happiness with me. 

However, the girl surpassed my expectations with her attitude. Without a shred of hesitation, she did not care about me and frankly insulted me. 

She is evil but somehow, I love her. 

Am I am M? I wondered when I cooked my food. 

Yes, waking up late made me skip breakfast with Ruciel and the others. Because of that, right now I cook my food.

With a full stomach, Kimi, Chloe, and Alan decide to explore the city to look for weapons or other items they want. They knew that Yuldra would give us weapons so, maybe they were looking for backup weapons. 

It's predictable, Diana took part in window shopping that the kids want to do. They left Ruciel, a girl who now insulted me while helping me cook. 

I'm at the inn and I cook? 

Yes, I cook because I have six-level cooking. The food I made was more delicious than the food made by the chef at this inn. 

To be honest, I don't like the food they make. 

The Heart of Monsters changed my taste buds or how my tongue perceives the taste of food. On the other hand, level six cooking twisted my taste buds to be even more refined. 

As an outcome, I have a high standard for the taste of food. 

So, I cook for myself. 

And so, let's forget about my high standard whatever. 

"Why don't you ask about how I feel, Ruciel? Why do you have to insult me at the moment you see me?" I gave the girl a gaze full of tears. 

The expression of the girl crumbled, her mocking, disgusted expression turn into a confused expression. Her long ears made a few strong jolts while her eyes wandered around. 

When she freezes because of the confusion and doesn't know what to do, I hug her. I didn't hold myself back, I rubbed my face to her b*obs. It's small but still, they are warm and supple. More than that, I was pleased with the scent of her body. 

"Stop hugging me, take notice of your cooking, smoke has come out." 

With that sudden warning, I returned to my cooking. It's a pity, I can't savor her body. But then, I do remember, I can play with her body anytime because we are always sleeping together in one room.

So, I'm able to hold back.

The cooking was done! 

I and Ruciel occupy a table filled with five types of foods. Three of them are made of monster meat so I can devour most of these foods. 

"What happened? Why did you act strange today?" Ruciel asked at a little pause when she ate her Vegetable Stew. 

My fox ear twitched and a soft smile adorned my face. "First," I began. "Dishonesty told me to eat Magic Stone and I got a Unique Skill. Then she told me that I accidentally started the destruction of the world. Finally, she asked me to use the Unique Skill I had just got to save the world from the Evil Gods!" 

The girl did not give any response. Once again, she froze and this time, she saw me with eyes wide open. 

"Oh! Right, I'm so happy because today, I get my fourth tail!" I told her then I deactivated the Collar of Concealment. I showed my four tails to her. "Look at this! Isn't my tails wondrous?"

I made two heart shape using my tails several times until Ruciel got her consciousness back. "If you want to make up stories, at least you have to make stories that easy to be accepted. I doubt, out there, there is someone who wants to entrust important tasks to fools like you." 

"Do you just say that I lie and I'm a fool?" 

"Yes, I don't think you will save the world. Now, about those four tails. What exactly are you to have those?" 

Well... I also didn't believe the fact that I will save the world. So, I will not bring up Dishonesty's request in our chat again. As for my tails, I puffed my chest, I smiled when my fox ear twitched happily. "I have been holding back this secret long enough. Now, I will tell you, I am Nine Tails Fox! Well… right now, I just have four tails so I am a Four Tails Fox!" 

Ruciel did not say anything. Sitting there, she cleaned her ear. She made a gesture that she did not believe what she had just heard. 

And, is all this alright? Revealing the secret about who I was in front of people. 

I will answer yes for it. Why? Because these Flugels rarely interact with people on the surface. I heard, they lived in Uncertainty and would die in it or when they defended it. Their closed life made me convinced, they had no intention of hurting me. 

"You lie," Ruciel said weakly.

"Where do I say lies? I always say the truth to you, okay?" 

Ruciel stays still, like a statue. She just sat there looking into the distance.

Is she shocked? Or did she not believe in my words? 

I don't know the answers to those questions and I don't know the right question. So, because of that, I decided to eat my food again, leaving Ruciel to daydream. 

Two portions of meals are gone and... 

"Excuse me, is Miss Eclaite here?" 

A familiar voice caught my attention. I turned to the source of the voice and I was right, Yuldra is there, at the entrance to this inn's restaurant. 

She knew me, there weren't many people here, so why did she ask if I was here or not. I'm confused but, anyway. I raised my left hand to make a few gentle waves. 

"I'm here, Yuldra." 

The Flugel girl smiled. She made a little nod then approached our table. Her steps stopped for a moment when her eyes were fixed on the tails I had. 

And yes, Yuldra still stole a glance at my tails when she sat in an empty chair at our table. 

"Have you eaten, Yuldra?" I asked. 

The question bring Yuldra back from her daze. She blinked a few times before she say, "I haven't." 

"Then, grab the food you like. I made all these foods and a big one of them made of monsters meat. But I assure you, all of these foods are delicious. I recommend Sauteed Meatballs I made." 

Yuldra nodded and once again, her eyes peeked at my tails. I felt her eyes follow the swings of one of my tails. 

"Then excuse me." The girl took a plate then filled it with the foods I made. When a waitress passes by, I ask her to take a note of the drinks we want. When the waitress left, Yuldra began to eat her food. 

"It's so delicious!" She said with delight. 

Another smile adorned my face. We continue to eat our food until, in the end, all the food at the table runs out. 

"Are you curious, why do I have four tails?"

"If I can be honest, I will say yes." 

Yuldra want the truth so I told her like I told Ruciel. 

And yes, the Fulgel girl was also surprised by the fact that I was a Nine Tails Fox. However, unlike Ruciel, Yuldra accepted this truth faster. 

"I know my dear mother's friend is a remarkable person," Yuldra said with a nod. 

"Okay, that's enough about me. Now, what kind of business that brings you here, Yuldra?" 

"As always, I convey messages from my dear mother to you, Miss Eclaite. Apart from a message, I also bring some items for you." 

"Messages and items?" 

"You're right," Yuldra answered. 

The girl then put a blue cube made of glass on the table. She took the cube out of nowhere. Maybe, same as Diana, Yuldra can also use Space Storage. 

"Take the Memories Cube, Miss Eclaite. There is a message from my dear mother inside it." 

As she instructed, I take the Memories Cube. Then, not long after I held it, some memories or more precisely, a few pieces of the scene where Dishonesty said something, came to fill my mind. 

I got information about three locations where Evil Gods was sealed. Not only that, but I also get detailed information about the location. Because of that details, I know the traps that protect the location and the key that lock the building where the Evil God's soul was being sealed.

"Have you got a message from my dear mother?"

"Yes, I got it." 

Yuldra nodded. "If you forget the message, you can see it again by using the memories cube. You just need to fill it with Mana and you will see the message." 

"All right." 

"Next is the items, the weapons. Please tell me, what kind of weapons you want." 

"I need a spear, two longswords, two swords, a medium-sized shield, a longbow, and a wand." 

"I understand," Yuldra answered. A moment later she began to take out then put the weapons that I would say sparkling on the table. 

Ruciel was so excited when she saw all those weapons. And surprisingly, she insisted on choosing the weapons that will be given by Yuldra. 

When everything was done, Yuldra said goodbye. Before leaving, she said, "Dear mother expects you to eliminate one of the three targets less than a year. After that, you can eliminate other targets at will. But you must always remember, my dear mother might come to you to hasten your task to eliminate the target." 

After I said, "Understood.." Yuldra left us.
