I've Turned Into A Fox Girl?

Chapter 287 Wishing Goodbye

?

<General POV>

"Weapon delivery!" Just outside Shaman's bedroom door, a maid carried a box full of weapons that were from Jane.

The door swung open, revealing a very dishevelled Shaman. Her clothes were on the verge of falling off, and it looked like she had barely gotten any sleep.

"Thank you." Taking the box from the maid's hands, she then quickly vanished back into her room.

"N-no worries." The maid's face turned red as she caught a glimpse of the inside and spotted pairs of underwear on the floor. She was aware of Shaman's relationships as she was assigned to them and knew exactly what must have transpired last night.

'I need to leave before I'm caught just standing here.' She didn't have time to be standing around, let alone being seen as a weirdo for staring at a door. Rushing down the hall, she passed Elanor and Silver, who were about to arrive at Shaman's room.

"So did you get your weapon yet, Silver?" Elanor was curious about the kind of upgrade he got as well as what it looked like. She quite liked the previous design, so she hoped Jane stuck to the same theme.

"Mhm, I'll show it off once we are all together." Being only a few steps away from the shaman's room, there was no point in showing it now.

"Fair enough." Elanor was hoping for some special treatment before they entered Shaman's room, but she couldn't fight logic.

'Jeez, why am I even thinking like that?' It was embarrassing for her that she even wanted special treatment, however, as time went on, she more and more accepted that she wanted Silver's attention. She even grew accustomed to holding hands, which she had completely forgotten that they were doing right now.

Silver walked up to Shaman's door and gave it a knock, which was followed by an audible groan.

"Who is it?" Shaman opened the door expecting it to be a maid, but she was shocked to see it was Silver and Elanor.

"Silver! Wait! Don't come in yet; give me a second." Shaman slammed the door shut and quickly scurried around the room, cleaning it up. No cleaning whatsoever had been done, and the last thing she wanted was her son walking in on her mess.

"Elysia! Clara! Wake up! Silver and Elanor are here." Shaking the two of them awake, they both groaned and rolled around, refusing to respond.

"Damnit, cold water it is." Shaman conjured up some water above their heads, however, her words alone sprung Elysia and Clara awake.

"Don't! We will get up!" The two of them shouted in unisonand quickly got out of bed, not wanting to be splashed with cold water. Clara and Elyisa then put on some loose clothes and helped with cleaning up the messy room.

"I swear they must be doing this every night." Silver shook his head as he heard the chaos from the outside. At this point, he was desensitised to their nightly affairs and couldn't care less about how the room looked.

"I guess it just means they really love each other? I mean, Elysia is going to be leaving for a while, so I'm sure this is just their unique way of saying goodbye. Elanor tried to be optimistic about the situation, but she was quite naive when it came to this stuff, arguably even more innocent than Silver.

Elanor wasn't oblivious to it, but she had no experience whatsoever, unlike Silver, who had witnessed it on a few occasions.

"I don't doubt that, but I think they're addicted to it." Silver wasn't concerned that they were doing it, his worries actually lied about whether it was healthy or not.

"Oh, I wouldn't think so, but I guess they are quite excessive." Elanor tilted her head, trying to make some sense of it, but her lack of experience made it hard to judge.

*BAM!*

"Okay, everything is fine now." An out-of-breath Shaman suddenly slammed the door open, welcoming them in.

"Mother, you know that I'm used to it, right? No need to try to hide it." Silver figured he might as well try to convince his mother that he wasn't so innocent anymore and she didn't need to put in so much effort into hiding it.

"P-please let me live in my delusions a bit longer, I'm fully aware that you are. Shaman raised her hand, knowing that Silver wasn't a child anymore, but deep inside she wanted to believe that he was.

"F-Fine." Silver let out a defeated sigh, hoping that it wouldn't last too much longer.

As they talked at the door, Elysia and Clara poked their heads from behind Shaman. They both instantly spotted that Silver was holding hands with Elanor, and they couldn't believe it. Elysia and Clara looked at each other with a smirk, as this was the perfect opportunity to tease them.

"Oooo Silver, we're holding hands with the dear princess now, aren't we?" Elysia gave a smug look at the two of them, excited for their reaction.

"Hehe, it looks like some things may have changed over the last few days." Clara covered her mouth with her hand while letting out a cheeky giggle.

"It isn't like that!" Silver's face instantly turned bright red, and he quickly pulled away his hand. Elanor had a similar reaction as she looked down at the ground while her face turned extremely hot to the point of almost emitting steam.

"Okay, you two, no need to tease them unless you want me to begin describing what we did." Shaman gave the two perpetrators a side-eye, knowing she could expose in great detail what they did last night.

'Although I doubt Elyia would care if I described it, she gets more and more shameless every time.' Shaman could only hope that because it was Silver and Elanor, Elysia would show a little shame.

Elysia rolled her eyes, as she would rather not have their entire night explained, especially in front of Elanor. Even if she was fond of the idea of Elanor being with Silver, Elysia was still proactive about keeping her away from Shaman.

Unlike Elysia, Clara's face turned bright red thinking about last night, and since she does know shame, there was no way she would let Shaman tell Silver or Elanor about it.

"Good, you can come in now." Shaman had a smug smile, glad that her threat worked.

Silver and Elanor then walked into the bedroom and took a seat on the couch that was in the corner of the room. Even though their rooms were technically bedrooms, they were furnished more like a miniature house, which was handy, especially if you didn't want to travel across the demon castle just to find the kitchen.

"Anyway, what brings you two here?" Elysia walked up behind Silver and gave him a hug, curious about their sudden appearance.

"Actually, we came to see you, mother. We heard that you will be leaving us for a while and wanted to say goodbye before we get back into training." Silver tilted his head back to look at Elysia; however, instead of seeing a face, it was her chest that greeted him.

Elanor gave him a quick kick as she realised the kind of view he was getting and that it was disrespectful to his mother. She totally didn't do it because she was jealous.

"Heh." Elyisa really wanted to tease the two of them, but she held back as Shaman's threat lingered in her head.

"Well, I really appreciate you coming to see me, although I won't be leaving for at least a week, so there is still time." Elysia gave Silver a tight squeeze, as she didn't expect them to come so soon after hearing the news. It was touching for her to hear that they even cared and only affirmed her feelings to treat Silver like a son.

She could also appreciate Elanor a bit more, as it was quite unexpected for her to come so soon.

"We weren't told when, and the last thing I want is to find out I missed my chance to see you before you left." Silver nuzzled into Elysia's arms, feeling loved, as it was the exact thing he wanted to do before she left.

"Yeah, I woke up in a panic, thinking I missed my chance, haha." Elanor nervously laughed when she thought back to how she woke up.

"Funny enough, considering we did not even get out of bed until you two came, there was definitely no need to rush." Clara spoke up from bed. She was already laying down once she figured the conversation wasn't about her.

"It looks like one still is… Since you are doing nothing, why don't you check out your new weapon while they talk?" Shaman was still over by the door, grabbing her newly upgraded sword from the box.

"Ooo, I wonder what Jane did for me." Clara was quick to jump and run over to the box to claim her weapons.

"So where are you going, Elysia?" Elanor brought her attention back, now curious about what Elysia was actually going to do.

"Ah, I will be paying a visit to my family. The rough plan is to train under them to learn more about my unique element and then kill them after I learn everything." Elysia gave an innocent smile that was filled with malice.
