I've Turned Into A Fox Girl?

Chapter 14 I'll Forever Be With You

?Morning came and 2 girls were comfortably enjoying each other's embrace with Wolfy chilling at the end of the bed.

Elysia was the first to wake up and when she opened her eyes was surprised to see Shaman's face so close to hers.

'Wait, did we fall asleep together?' Elysia started getting flustered as she could not believe she had shared the bed with someone else.

'I will say, it is comfortable, maybe I should ask her if I can do it again.' However Elysia's thoughts wandered elsewhere since it was really comfortable.

'WAIT no, that's just wrong, how could I ask her to do that.' Elysia squirmed a little causing Shaman to wake up.

"Huh? Elysia, you're awake?" The half-asleep Shaman then wrapped her arms around Elysia's head and pulled her into Shaman's chest. Elysia started to freak out as she did not expect Shaman to be so bold but then she could hear Shaman had fallen asleep again.

'Phew she fell back asleep and now that I think about, maybe its not so weird to ask to sleep like this, we are both girls.' Elysia thought maybe it wasn't too bold of a request, but while thinking about slowly dozed off again, however before she could a loud knock echoed throughout the apartment.

Shaman and Elysia both sat up now fully awake worried that it maybe the people from the underground.

"I'll get it, I have no idea who it could be and they may be for you so just stay in bed." Shaman got out of bed while equipping her sword and slowly approached the door.

Shaman opened the door to see a handsome young man with a friendly smile. Quickly putting away her sword, she relaxed as the memories of the previous owner recognised the man as the landlord.

"You're Shaman correct? I came here to collect your rent of 1 gold coin."

Shaman let out a huge inward sigh as she was terrified as it could have been someone after Elysia and she was unsure if any of the higher-ups of the facility would be out and about.

"Here you go" Shaman hands the man a cold coin and he leaves without saying a word. Shaman closed the door and walked back to Elysia.

"Don't worry it was just the guy collecting rent for this month."

"That's a relief." Elysia let out a sigh as her heart rate increased as she too was worried that it would be someone after her.

"We need to get stronger just in case if it is them. Anyway since you cried yourself to sleep I could not give the rest of the things I was going to give you." Shaman while she spoke pulled out her old tier 1 katana.

"Wait there was more?" Elysia had a confused look as she thought that she had already received enough from Shaman.

"There is and I have also granted you a very special gift during your sleep, so try saying status." Shaman spoke in a cheeky voice as she could not wait to see how Elysia was going to react.

"Uh okay... Status." As Elysia said status a system window popped up in front of Elysia which Shaman could also see.

Elysia on the other hand was speechless as she could not quite comprehend what was going on, she could see her HP, MP and these things called 'attributes'. She had noticed that she was level 7 but didn't understand what that meant.

Shaman seeing the confused look began to explain.

"I have given you what I call the system, as far as I know, we are the only 2 people that have this. You will see that you have a level that indicates your power, sooo think of it as a ladder, the higher you go up the closer you are to the next tier. So to reach tier 2 you need to get to level 10 and then you can evolve."

Elysia nodded as she was starting to understand what the things on the system screen meant.

"You have your skills, which the system will activate for you when you think about using it so you don't have to worry about ever practicing and you can use it at will. Also, your MP is your energy and some skills require it to be used but that's mainly for magic."

Elysia was dumbstruck as the idea of just thinking about a skill and it is casts which seemed like any mages dream.

"Pick your jaw up there is more, now we have attributes. As you level up you will be granted points and you can assign them to any of the attributes." Shaman then went on to explain what each one meant and also showed her the inventory.

Elysia laid back down on the bed as her head had exploded from all the information.

"Also have this katana, this is the only other weapon I have till we get something that suits your tastes." Shaman tossed the sword in its sheath and it landed on Elysia's stomach.

Elysia grabbed it and quickly opened up the system to equip it, she also stored it so it stayed hidden. Wolfy had also taken refuge on Elysia's lap, resting in between her thighs.

"The inventory is really convenient." Elysia tried wrapping her head around the inventory as now she never had to worry about carrying anything in bags anymore. Although limited it was more than enough to store everything that was in this apartment a few times.

"It sure is and it seems like Wolfy has taken a liking to you." Shaman had a smile as she was glad that she had accepted Elysia.

"Where did you pick up this little cutie?" Elysia asked as she was curious since it was rare to get beasts as pets.

"After killing a Wolf leader it dropped an egg."

"Wait an egg?" Elysia was now confused since wolves should not be coming out of eggs.

"I don't know either, I was just as confused as you are." Shaman quickly responded back as she too was very confused about why a wolf had come out of the egg.

"I guess no use pondering on why, we will find out if there is anything special once he grows up." Elysia decided to just accept it as it was pointless to linger on the subject.

"Anyway let's eat and then get you registered at the adventurer guild so we can start hunting some beast to get you to tier 2." Shaman proceeded to bring out 2 cans of instant noodles.

"Do you really only eat instant noodles?" Elysia glared at Shaman as she could not believe that was all she ate.

Shaman started to sweat from the gaze and awkwardly laugh before responding.

"Uhhhh, I may or may not know how to cook." Shaman slowly handed over a can to Elysia and surprisingly she still accepted it but the look she had said she wouldn't stand for it any longer.

"We are going shopping after we return and I'm cooking you a decent meal, this cannot go on." Elysia said in a proud tone as her guess was right.

"Wait, you will?" Shaman was excited as she didn't expect Elysia to cook at all.

"Yes I will and I'll make sure you never have any instant food while in this house." Elysia continued to speak proudly as she also could not wait to start cooking as it was something she always did with her mother.

Shaman's eyes brightened and she went in for a hug shoving her face into Elysia's chest.

"I'll be with you forever." Shaman spoke while snuggling into Elysia and entered a child-like state without realising it.

The sudden hug made Elysia's entire face red and with Shaman also snuggling into her chest felt a weird sensation.

Shaman who just realized what she just said and was doing quickly backed off and walked over to crouch in the corner, covering her face with her hands.

"Sorry I didn't mean to do that, but I did mean what I said." Shaman spoke quietly just enough for Elysia to hear.

"I-its okay but please warn me next, I don't know if my heart can take it.... A-anyway, we should eat.'' Elysia spoke and tried to move on so she could calm down.

"Y-yeah."

Both Shaman and Elysia sat next to each other eating instant noodles and after finishing, Shaman threw a suggestion.

"Why don't we bathe together before we leave." Shaman didn't think much of it at the time as she had done so with friends in her previous world.

"U-uu-umm I don't know If I can handle being with someone else in the bath at the moment, my heart has already taken too many blows." Elysia's heart started to beat heavily as she never had been this close with anyone else before. Although they hugged and slept together she had done that because of her emotions and was not thinking straight.

"Ah, it's okay I just thought it would be quicker but I feel like if we did, it would take longer." Shaman did not realise what her words were suggesting. She thought it would take too long because she would be too busy admiring her body. But before Elysia could say anything, Shaman had already left for the Bathroom.

'My God, I swear I'm going to die of a heart attack. I also wonder why when I look at Shaman my heart starts to beat faster. I remember that my mother told me that if this happens, it is called love.' Elysia didn't have much interaction with anyone else other than her family and when she left home, it has all been but bad experiences with people. It seemed a bit immature for to call it love so quickly, but nobody has given her so much care until now.

'But isn't it meant for men and women, not the same gender? I wonder if Shaman would be okay with it.' Elysia thought that it was rather taboo to have a relationship of the same gender since it didn't seem natural. However, no matter how should thought about it didn't like it only being between 2 genders.

'W-why does it matter, even if it is wrong as long as it's okay with Shaman.' Elysia's face was heating up and she even started rolling around on the bed embarrassed.

Wolfy was confused by what she was doing, but he ignored and continued his nap hoping he wouldn't be bumped into.
