The Fox Goddess

Chapter 238 We Need Your Help

?"Is it good? I haven't been cooking since you were born, and I think that my cooking has gone down ever since." Ayame shyly looked at Yuki with a cute, expectant eye.

Looking at this, Yuki couldn't believe that this is her Mother. She has no memory of her Mother acting like this, at most she is loving, and caring but, she is also strict at times. And seeing her act like this, she almost finds her childish.

The food that was on the table consisted of three dishes. Egg Roll, Curry, and some Miso Soup. The Egg Roll was made to perfection, it was soft and fluffy, and the Curry was savory, and tasty, as for the Miso Soup, Yuki could tell that it was made with care, it was light. This food brings memories that Yuki didn't want to remember.

"It's fine," Yuki answered, she then continued eating and didn't look at Ayame anymore. The more she looks at Ayame the more she can't take in how Ayame is acting.

"Really? I'm so happy!" Ayame suddenly clasped Yuki's hands in response which greatly shocked Yuki.

"Excuse me?" Yuki looked at Ayame with a surprised look, but it only took one second before Yuki came back to her usual self.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I was just really excited that you liked my food." Ayame apologized with a red face, out of her excitement, she grabbed Yuki's hands.

"Just don't do something like that again," Yuki said, then just as she was about to pick up another piece of meat. She heard Aika groan, and when she raised her head, she saw Aika rubbing her big eyes cutely.

"Oh, you're awake already? Come here, eat breakfast with me- us." Yuki rephrased her words and said us instead of me.

And when Ayame heard the word "us" she was extremely happy.

"Yes, I'm hungry Mommy. But, who is this Big Sister? Is she your Sister? She looks like you, Mommy." Aika asked as she sat on Yuki's lap.

"You don't have to worry about that. Just eat, and thank your Big Sister for making the food for us." Yuki smiled and patted her head.

"Thank you Big Sister for the food!" Aika smiled at Ayame which melted her heart, at first she was saddened that Yuki didn't introduce her as her Mother, and just referred to her as a Big Sister.

But, after hearing what Aika said to her. Her mood went up a little. She then patted Aika on the head slightly.

"It's not a problem. Just eat to your heart's content."

"Yes, thank you very much." Aika thanked Ayame and accepted the food that Yuki put into her mouth, and after a few feedings, Aika said to Yuki that she could eat by herself.

"Okay, sit next to me, and eat your food." Yuki places her next to her and grabs a set of chopsticks for her to use.

Midway to Aika eating, she noticed that Ayame was just sitting there next to her Mommy, fidgeting with her fingers. So, she assumed that she was also hungry, Aika then grabbed a small bowl and put rice on it before passing it to Ayame.

"You should also eat Big Sister, you look hungry. You should never do things with an empty stomach! Isn't that right Mommy?" Aika looked at Yuki as if she was telling her to praise her for what she did.

And Yuki couldn't stand looking at those cute eyes and patted her head.

"Yes, you're correct. Good job! You should also eat, don't make others worry, if you're not going to eat you're going to make other people worried about you." Yuki said.

"Are you also one of the people that would worry about me?" Ayame asked.

"Depends. I'll take my leave now, Aika if you want you can stay here a little bit more. But be sure to come out later okay? Or else Mommy is not going to play with you later." Yuki reminded Aika a little, and also threatened her a bit to make sure that she comes out.

"Yes! I will come out later. After I finish eating with Big Sister, I will come to find you, Mommy. So promise me that you'll play with me!" Aika said nervously, she was afraid that her Mommy would not play with her anymore if she didn't come out. So, for the sake of being able to play. She will come out of Yuki's room.

"Alright, I promise you." Yuki patted her head in assurance and left the room. Since she has already dressed, she didn't have to worry about anything anymore.

"Ah, wait-" But, Ayame was one step behind, and Yuki was already leaving.

"Ahhh!" As Ayame stood up, she slipped because she stood up very fast. She didn't see where she was stepping and accidentally stubbed her toe on the table.

Ayame closed her eyes and accepted that she would fall. But, when she felt no pain, she was surprised, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Yuki leaning on the door, and looking at her.

"Eh?" Ayame looked confused for a second, but when she looked at her surroundings, she saw a few Ice stands that were wrapping her body preventing her from falling. And looking at them closely, Ayame could see that they were holding her gently so that she would not get hurt by them, even though it would not matter, as she is a God.

She was happy that she felt that Yuki cared about her, even if it was a little.

"Watch your steps," Yuki said, she then left the room. But, before she left, she placed Ayame on the ground gently.

"Thank- thank you." Ayame thanked her, but before she could do anything. She was surrounded by Aika who has a worried look on her face.

"Are you alright Big Sister? You almost fell!" Aika asked worriedly.

"Yes, I'm fine. Thanks to your Mommy, don't worry." Ayame patted her on the head, she then sat back down and felt so happy, that she ate a lot of food.

Back outside, Yuki was called out by the Adventurer Guild about needing her help. This is the first time she was called by them ever since she became a SS Class, and she felt troubled by it. Just as she was about to refuse the call, one of her maids said that people from the Adventurer Guild were on her doorstep.

Thus, Yuki found herself in a meeting alongside all of the SS Class Adventures, and some unknown people to her.

"What do you want? You have called all the Adventurers to have a meeting, IN MY OWN HOME. Your reason for this better be good, or else." Yuki warned all of them which immediately put them all under pressure.

"We need your help."
