Chapter 378 – Family
Feyanis had finally returned and reunited with Chloe, who had missed her a whole lot during the time they were separated. She also met the others of the group and got confused about everyone except Maya. She hadn’t expected to see the wolves again, but the sisters were on another level because of their magic they had been gifted by the overseers. Things got even more chaotic after she found out that Chloe met Mira while she was gone.
"M-Mira is my m-mother...?" Chloe had to repeat Fey's words because there was just no way she could believe it just like that.
“W-WAIT!” The white fox’s eyes shot open. “S-She didn’t tell you when you met...?”
“NO!” She got even louder.
"A-Ah...” Fey froze up. “I got too emotional and messed up...”
“WHAT IS GOING ON?!” The pink-haired girl couldn't take it anymore. "MIRA! Mira, as in the overseer and or goddess of magic, is my m-mother?! MOTHER?!"
“...”
WAIT!" She wasn't being loud quite yet. "D-Does that mean you aren't my mom, after all, Feyfey...?” The loudness instantly switched over to sadness. “I-Is that why you were always so evasive...?”
“...” Fey tried to collect herself. “Mira... and I... you.”
“W-Wha...?” This time, the wolves couldn’t believe it.
“SHUSH!” Sophia glared at them. “NOT NOW!”
“R-Right...” They hung their heads in response.
“I’m... I’m the daughter of you and... Mira...?” Chloe couldn’t believe it.
“F-First, what did you talk about...? I don’t want to mention even more that-” The fox wasn’t able to finish her sentence.
“Don’t you think it’s time to tell her, Fey?” A very soft and gentle-sounding voice suddenly interrupted her. "Everything, I mean."
“Mira...?” She instantly recognized that voice and looked to the side, where she spotted the other white fox-girl with the many tails and teal accents. She had appeared in her hybrid form again, as well.
“Fluffy!” This time, Maya and Sophia had the same reaction. The cat-girl, while not as extreme, too, was a lover of everything fluffy, after all.
“SHUSH!” It was Steph’s time to glare now.
“A-Ah.”
“Uhh...” Chloe’s eyes alternated between the two other foxes. “C-Can I please... What is happening right now...?”
“Hey.” Mira first walked over to Fey and used her hand to glide through the fur on her side before making her way to the pink-haired girl. “I’m sorry.” She put a hand on her head and lightly ruffled her hair. “I’m sorry that Fey kept it a secret and how I didn’t tell you, either... Most of all, I’m sorry that I wasn’t there for you in person... But, yes, you are our daughter. We had been thinking about it for the longest time, and when we learned about your previous life, we decided to let you reincarnate through us.”
“S-Shush!” The teal fox started blushing a little harder. “There is just no way you can blame me for that...”
“I wasn’t going to.” Sounding a little playful, Fey then booped her hip with her nose. “I couldn’t do that, either. I mean, it was foremost my idea. I was the one who wanted Chloe to have a normal life... You agreed to it, but I know just how hard it was for you...”
“It really was...” She nodded a few times. “I always felt close because I was able to watch and look over her, but... Seeing her happy and having a fulfilled life was all I wished for, but...”
“I understand.” Fey booped her again.
“Were you really watching me, though...?” Chloe then tilted her head. “Because if you did, you would’ve known that being the daughter of an overseer and having a super interesting life filled with all kinds of things related to that sounds amazing to me!”
“...” Mira had no idea what to say in her defense.
“Well, I guess it’s easy for me to say now... I can definitely see and am absolutely thankful for your thoughts of wanting to protect me... You, too, Feyfey.” The pink fox faced her other mother. “Thank you so much for raising me with so much love and always having tried to put me first. I love you!”
“I-I love you, too!” This time, Fey pressed her head against the other girl.
“It’s a little early, so it's hard to say what my feelings are right now, but I do hope I want to be able to say the same to you, too.” Chloe glanced at the overseer. “I, at the very least, definitely can’t wait to get to know you better!”
“...” Mira’s expression got more emotional again. “That’s already way more than I could’ve hoped for. Thank you so much for giving me a chance.”
“Of course!” Showing her a massive smile, the pink fox girl went ahead and hugged the teal one yet again.

While all of that was happening, the other group members started to feel a little awkward.
“Is it really alright to be listening in to this...?” Aura wasn’t sure if it was a good thing that they were still there. “It seems rather private.”
“I do agree.” Fen nodded a couple of times.
“Steph,” Sophia ignored the wolves and looked at her sister. “Can we, uhh... check on your phone and if mom has seen your message more often from now on...? I want to see her. Tell her everything, as well.”
“O-Of course...” The dog-girl smiled at her. “I want to, too!” The two were pretty touched by the scene in front of them.
“I, uhh... I think I’m going to visit my parents later...” Maya also wasn’t unaffected by it.
“How about we give those three some alone time for now?” Aura looked at the girls. "They probably have a lot more to talk about, and it's really not within our rights to be a part of that, as well.”
"T-True!" The trio collected themselves, and afterward, the group decided to leave them alone for the time being and headed back to the village to wait for them there.
