Book 4: Chapter 4-4
Nothing that need trouble you, sir. My younger sister always comes to this house to ask to borrow a room, so I accept her request on the condition that she cleans up everything properly. She appears to be using it with her friends, you see.
Yukino is? If she needs to go so far as to borrow a room here, she must be doing something in secret.
It would seem that way. I do in fact hear some endearing singing and other noises from that room.
Ah, so thats whats going on.
I basically understand the gist of it.
Chief, is my fairy here now? Lets go meet her.
What about Rera?
What are you talkin about? I told you yesterday, Chief.
Sorry. I was only throwing in interjections and wasnt paying attention in the slightest.
Reras lovely. I really was about to fall for her. But thanks to Rera, I realized something more important.
Oh? Lets hear it.
Falling for Rera means that no matter how far past her prime she is, I can always love my fairy, Yukino-chan. My love was proved to be real!
I was at a loss for words. I dont know if theres any hope left for Roleau.
Rera is nineteen years old. And he says shes past her prime. I thought his inability to get married was due to being too manly, but it would appear theres a different reason.
The door of the room that Yukino is borrowing was slightly ajar, so I peeked in through the gap.
If my prediction is correct, Im the last person that she would want to see her room.
Roleau casually joined me, peering inside.
I get to see the fairy in the flesh after so long
The three in the room were all wearing light clothing in anticipation of how heated up they would get. They were breathing a little heavily and everyone was sweating.
But why is Roleau breathing heavily too
We have to perfect the song for Cyril-nisama and Kuu-nesamas wedding! Lets do it all one more time
The leader of the three, Kemin the yellow fox, was dishing out orders to Yukino the silver fox and Kurone the black fox in a voice that was more stiff than usual.
Kemin, do you really want this song? Yukino doesnt want it. Yukino wants something more cool or pretty.
No. You try approaching in that manner and Kuu-nesama wont look as nice in comparison. But if we use this song then we can fight on our own terms. Kuu-nesama wont be compared to us.
But Yukino doesnt like the flirty, throwing yourself away vibe that this song gives off. Yukino doesnt even know what the lyrics mean.
Kuro doesnt like it either. Kuro isnt just black around the eartips, okay.
Quit complaining. This song is a perfectly honorable and traditional fire fox song, okay.
Traditional? This is the song that Kuu-nesamas onisama gave her for her fifth birthday. It hasnt even existed for a long time.
The song that Kuus older brother made for her? Indeed, that would be perfectly fitting for Kuus wedding.
Still, Kuu-nesama was able to keep singing that song every year until she became 11 years old. I totally get that even she would be too embarrassed to continue singing it after that, of course.
Okay, and Yukino is 12 years old. So if Kuu-nesama cant do it at that age then why should Yukino try?
Thats exactly why we need to, Yukino. Show Kuu-nesama that you can beat her record.
Okay. Ill do it
The three of them had finally come to an agreement, it seemed.
They lined up to the side and the song began at Kemins signal.
Heigh-ho Fox, Bark bark bark
The three of them began singing in adorable voices full of spirit.
Hands outstretched and hips dropping and rising fiercely, they shook their bodies from side to side.
Wag your tail, Bark bark bark
Next, they energetically swerved around with their backs facing the door, putting their hands on their hips and wagging their tails as they shook their hips.
Only the tips of my ears, are black
They crouched, hands to their fox ears and looking up from the ground.
The tip of my tail is, white
Putting their bodies into a hanmi stance (stance with legs in an L-shape, with one leg bent in front and other extended behind), they lifted up their tails and displayed them for an audience to see.
Heigh-ho Fox, Bark bark bark
And as all choruses should be, they were back to the same song and dance as the beginning.
Fluffy fluffy soft soft, Bark bark bark
Their backs now facing the audience, the girls shook their tails and hips.
Bark
To finish things off, they leaped into the air with all their might and shrieked excitedly from the bottom of their hearts before ending.
Umm, wow, so that was ridiculously cute. It was so cute that I lost all my composure for a moment there.
The song could not have done a better job at pulling out their sweetness. Kuus brother might actually be a genius.
Fah, fah
Roleaus eyes were wide open and he was trembling.
I want to fooooox
Letting out a shriek, he motioned to pounce on the girls.
What does I want to fox even mean? What is he planning? I didnt really get it, but I did feel that Yukino was in danger so I grabbed his collar and pulled him over to my side before sturdily pinning down his carotid artery and dropping him within five seconds.
Huh? Thought I heard someones voice.
Voice, more like scream.
It was a little scary.
The three girls walked in our direction after hearing Roleaus scream.
They clearly wanted to surprise me later on, so in order to hide my viewing of all this, I silently walked off, leaving Roleau behind.
Once he wakes up again, Roleau will regain his composure, and even if he tries something, as long as its not a sneak attack then Yukino should be able to knock him down from the front, so I think itll be alright.
By myself again, I opened the letter from the empire.
These idiots never learn, do they.
The empire would be bringing over a large amount of troops in order to take back its armor, swords, and fortress. They even added that they would spare our lives if we handed everything over meekly.
Alright, looks like you need to experience some pain.
And they will, because I have more than enough weapons for accomplishing that.
