Chapter 30: Burgers and cuddles

L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

"Purrr... Purrr..."

The slight trembling of Fay's sleeping murmuring served as the perfect white noise to help me sleep. The vibration of her voice was just strong enough to transmit over to my body, making me feel as if it was just a cat happily sleeping in my embrace...

But it was no cat. It was a fox-girl.

This distinction was quite obvious to me. But not so much for Fay herself, given how she cuddled herself into a ball covered with her long, lush hair... and then snuggled up to my chest, causing her mouth to utter her purring directly into my chest, right at the height of my heart.

'I do recall hearing about cat's purring being actually therapeutic,' I thought, struggling to keep my thoughts clear with such an otherworldly beauty snuggled up to my chest.

I peeled my eyes away from the lovely shape bulging below the thin cover of the sheets we were sharing. And with how risky it would be for me to look anywhere near the bed, I directed my eyes to the soothing uniformness of the concrete roof.

'It's been all nice and fun, but I shouldn't get too relaxed,' I thought before heaving a deep sigh.

For now, I could easily entertain Fay with the money I got from the mob. But rather than a gift or simple exchange of goods, this money was actually an investment.

And with how the local mob was the only barrier that currently shielded me from all those who bullied me in the past and would like to bully me in the future... I couldn't take this relationship lightly.

'I will have to find something they would be extremely interested in. Something they could make insane money from...'

"Peter, worried. What about?" Fay asked while clearly making it her goal to give me a heart attack as she leaned her head over her shoulder and gave me a small, affectionate smile.

"I'm trying to figure out how to... How to make things more fun for you," I replied after taking some time to figure out the best possible answer. And while I had a whole lot to say about the necessary steps to take to let Fay enjoy this world even more...

This topic wasn't something I wanted to tackle unprepared.

'She will need to learn how to act around other people without revealing too much about herself, especially with how she's bound to attract a whole lot of attention the second she shows herself to the world.'

This was the one thing that I was worried the most about when it came to Fay. That her beauty would attract attention would, in turn, lead to some people learning about some of Fay's secrets.

And that meant, if I wanted Fay to truly enjoy the modern world, I either had to come up with some believable story that would explain her antics... Or turn her into a modern person herself!

"Fay's ready!" she said with such an utmost doze of honest confidence, that I could only comment on it with a smile.

"Are you ready to spend hours upon hours studying how humans act and behave in this world?" I asked, already picturing the mountains of books I could throw at her, only to wait a short while before she would seek my company to stave off her boredom.

"Fay's ready!" she replied in an instant. Her hesitation only came later when she realized the potential weight of my words. Fay lowered her head and looked up, allowing me to realize just how powerful those upturned eyes of hers were. "Will... Will Peter groom Fay and feed Fay burgers?"

I closed my eyes and, with a small, coping smile stuck in my mouth, I took a deep breath.

I made some serious progress, given how I survived Fay's surprise attack without clutching my hand at my chest.

"I will feed you all the burgers you want," I laughed a little, unable to handle all the adorableness Fay was showering me with. Then, without giving it a second thought, I reached out and caressed her cheek. "And I will groom you as many times as you desire."
