I've Turned Into A Fox Girl?

Chapter 130 Rough Fall

?Shaman explained to Clara her connection to Freja, clearing up any doubts Clara still had.

"I can see why we can trust Kiruya but again we should not let our guard down till we meet Freja." Clara's opinion aligned with Shaman making it easier to go along with Kiruya to the fox realm.

"Good, also while we have a little bit of free time can you go get me and Elysia some hair dye? Just a white and black one." Shaman winked and moved her head towards Elysia to indicate she was going to have that talk now.

"I will also catch up with Kiruya and grab our mounts. Wolfy, you're coming with me." Clara got up from the bed and gave Wolfy a light tap on the head to get him up. Wolfy had nothing better to do so he followed Clara's lead.

"Stay safe." Shaman waved at Clara and Wolfy.

Clara waved back as she exited the room with Wolfy.

Shaman could feel her heart rate rise and her anxiety spike as she never had to deal with this kind of problem. Although she felt fine talking about it with Clara, when it came to actually doing it she could not help feeling extremely nervous.

Shaman was doubting herself, imagining how things could go wrong or how Elysia might explode and the relationship they have built up would be ruined. She struggled to start talking as if something was holding her hold back.

'Ahhh, just do it, the worst that could happen is her being mad for a while, she is too obsessed to break up with me anyway.' Shaman was able to reassure herself but still found it difficult to speak.

Elysia, still hugging Shaman from behind, finally spoke up before Shaman could, now that Clara was far enough away from the room.

"Now that we are alone how about we have a little bit of fun, it's been forever since we last did anything~." Elysia whispered into Shaman's ear sending shivers down her spine.

"Fufu~ I can already feel your heart beating out of your chest." Elysia moved her hands over Shaman's chest which had not changed even after her evolution.

Shaman had almost fallen into her desires but the lingering thought of the issues Elysia was causing kept Shaman from caving in.

"No, we can't, we have something to talk about Elysia." The anxiousness that held Shaman back faded away as she gathered her resolve.

Shaman moved Elysia off of her and sat in the chair that Kiruya was in.

"Huh? What's the matter, Shaman?" Elysia was confused by Shaman's action and began to worry. Her thoughts instantly went to Clara and her eyes filled with murderous intent.

"It has nothing to do with her, so calm down. Otherwise, I might put a leash on you just so you don't kill someone just because you decided to jump to conclusions." Shaman knew exactly who she was thinking of and formed a small ice bat indicating she was ready to hit her over the head again.

"Hmph." Elysia turned her head and pouted as she had no good argument to counter Shaman.

"Good, now listen to what I have to say." Shaman felt her throat tighten as her nerves were starting to get to her.

Elysia turned her head back looking grumpy as her mood had been ruined.

"Elysia, this has been something I should have discussed with you much earlier, but I didn't see it as a real issue at the time. You need to stop being so obsessed with me." Shaman went straight to the point hoping Elysia wouldn't overreact.

"WHAT!?" Elysia shot up to her feet right in front of Shaman. Due to the sombre mood, Elysia took it to mean Shaman was planning to break up. Her thoughts had gone wild again and she went back to thinking Clara was the reason behind it.

"Hold on, let me finish before you start jumping to conclusions again." Shaman glared at Elysia to sit back down since Shaman noticed that Elysia had misunderstood what she was trying to say.

Shaman slowly gained her confidence making it easier to speak her mind.

"I-." Elysia was at a loss for words so she quietly sat down on the bed.

"Now what I mean is, you have to control yourself more. You overreact at the smallest things even if you don't show it, if I mention Clara's name you get this murderous look as if you plan to kill right then and there." Just like Shaman said, at the mention of Clara's name, Elysia's eyes turned red again.

Shaman's point was proven so she stared at Elysia till she realised what she had done.

"...." Elysia looked down to the floor as she realised she was guilty as charged and was unable to argue back.

"I love you Elysia, but this can't keep happening. You have to trust me otherwise you might make a mistake that I won't be able to forgive for." Shaman's expression became a bit depressed as it was not something she wanted to think about, but it was a possibility.

"I- I'm sorry, I will try to work on it, but it's so hard for me as you have given me everything that I have lost and I don't want to lose you." Elysia's voice went quiet.

"All the more reason why you should show more restraint, then that way you won't lose me." Shaman got up from her seat and hugged Elysia.

"Thank you." Elysia hugged Shaman back and tears began to form.

'I don't think I can change Shaman.' Elysia wanted to say these words but she did not have the courage to, so all she could do was cry.

"Alright we got the dye, now let's head over and get our mounts." Clara put 2 bottles of dye in her inventory and started to walk towards where their mounts were.

The entire town shared the same architectural style with stores having big windows at the front showing what they were selling. Clara had wanted to go in to buy some things but she didn't want to spend any money.

*sigh* "Maybe next time." Clara walked off in defeat as her urge to save won over the urge to buy.

"Shouldn't you have a lot of money since you worked for Himeko?" Wolfy found it hard to believe that Clara wouldn't have some money since she was one of the closest people to Himeko.

"Aha, about that. Himeko never gave me any money, she just bought me things and I did everything for free." Clara felt a little cheated but there wasn't much she could do about it now.

"What a shame, Shaman is too stingy with her money so she won't get anything more than what she needs." Wolfy had seen things in cities that he wanted but knew Shaman was the type of person to always go for the cheap option unless there was no such option available, all that despite having plenty of money.

"Well once we start killing higher tier monsters we will be able to make a living for ourselves so that should not be a problem for us soon." Clara thought about how much the tier 6 and 7 cores would be worth and she could already see the amount of gold she would be making.

Wolfy had also thought about the riches they could obtain, hoping once he gets his human form, he'd be able to go out and buy all the expensive meat.

Wolfy and Clara were both stuck thinking about the riches they were going to earn when they noticed Kiruya speeding across the street.

"Is that Kiruya? What is she doing here?" Clara was confused about why Kiruya was in the shopping district of the town but guessed she was getting supplies before getting a mount.

They watched Kiruya walk swiftly through the street till suddenly her foot got caught on the uneven ground. Before Kiruya could react she was already falling face-first to the ground.

Clara and Wolfy watched as they saw a cheetah girl fall flat on her face and drop everything she was carrying.

Feeling defeated, Kiruya stayed splayed on the ground as she endured the pain of falling on stone face-first.

The people around her had completely ignored her and continued to walk past her as if nothing happened.

After getting over the shock of what happened, Clara quickly ran to Kiruya and made sure she was okay. Wolfy, however, went and got the things Kiruya dropped, which were some food and a couple of toiletry items.

"Kiruya, are you okay?" Clara lifted Kiruya off the ground to check if she had hurt herself badly. Luckily there were no visible cuts and just a red mark on Kiruya's face.

"I- I'm fine." Kiruya sounded like she had just been defeated and had lost all will to live.

"Come on, you have to take us to Freja can't have you dying out here on the side of the street." Clara found Kiruya's reaction rather funny as it seems like this isn't the first time she had fallen in this town before.

"Ah yes, Freja, hehe~" Kiruya's mood brightened and she quickly got up from the ground.

"Hurry, let's go, we can't keep her waiting." Kiruya patted Wolfy as a thank you for picking up her things and grabbed her bag. They all walked off quickly to go pick up their mounts and finally head to the Fox Realm.
