The Tale Of Kitsuna

Chapter 28

Chapter 28: You reek go shower!?

“That... what! I thought you used one of Stacys’ hidden weapon techniques, but to think you make them with your magic. Can you do it with bigger weapons as well?” Granny asked, intrigued.

“Yes.” Stretching out my hand, I made a whip. After making it, I threw a plate in the air and slashed at it with the whip making it shatter.

“That was so cool!” Amari said with amazement. Granny, on the other hand, had a calculation expiration on her face. Looking at her, I thought of why she would look at that display like that.

“Don’t even think about using me as a weapon,” I said, dispelling the whip in my hand.

“What? No, that’s not what I was thinking about. I was thinking about how I can explain to you how to use the whip better.” She said seriously.

“Huh? Grandmother, do you mean that she didn’t use the whip correctly?” Amari asks, confused.

“Yes and no, she didn’t make a big mistake, but if you looked closely, she didn’t hit the plate with the tip but with the rope itself,” Granny explained like a professor.

“Ooh, it moved too fast for me to see,” Amari said, dejectedly.

.....

“Don’t worry, sweetheart,” Granny said sweetly. Looking at me, she took a serious expression and said. “So that you know. Not everyone will think of you as a tool, especially this family. My husband will come out of his grave to beat the crap out of us if we ever think of making someone a weapon for our own gains.”

“As I said before, this is the first time meeting you. I won’t just trust you on my experience with Mother, but I understand and will remember that.”

“Good.” Granny nodded. “So your ice magic is flexible?”

“Yes, it is close to being a metal of its own.”

“Hmm, can you infuse mana into it?”

“I am still working on that, but I think if I work on my mana control, I can do it.”

“Mana control? Aren’t your mana control already good enough?”

“You mean about my ice?” Getting a nod, I continued. “No, using my ice is like swinging my tail around. I just chuck the mana out and form what I want with it, but it’s a different story if it comes to my fire and lighting magic. It feels like I am so restricted it isn’t even funny.”

“You also have 3 elements!?” Granny and Amari said in surprised

“Also?” Tilting my head, I looked at them to answer me.

“I also have 3 elements. Lava, Storm, and earth.” Amaris said proudly.

“That’s cool. Two rare elements nice.” I said, smiling at her. “My ice might be solid, but my fire and lightning aren’t handy at the moment. I can’t use it further than a meter away from me. so in this regard, I am certain you win, Amari.”

“If you put it like that. It really sounds like you have a mana control problem,” Granny said, rubbing her chin. looking up at me, she asks. “Didn’t Stacy tell you about mana control?”

“She never taught me about magic.” I shrugged and continued eating.

“Of course, we are talking about the weapon queen here. She wouldn’t talk about magic if she can talk about weapons.” Shaking her head while looking down.

“Kitsuna? Your food? Didn’t it have bones in it?” Amari asks, out of the blue.

“Yeah?” I said, confused.

“What happened to them?”

“I ate them. That’s the best part of the meal.” I said with a straight face. Hearing my answer, both of them paled.

“You can eat bone?” Granny asked.

“Yes.” Opening my mouth, I showed them my canine teeth. “See, my teeth aren’t normal. They are strong enough to rip through bone easily.”

“I don’t think you-” Ganny was about to finish when Lily coughed at the side, taking her attention. Having a mental talk, they nodded and dropped the topic. Amari, on the side, was looking at them confused but decided to drop it as well.

‘I don’t want another lecture from her on why bones are food for Gods.’ Lily thought to herself.

“How was it being trained by Stacy?” Granny asks, changing the topic altogether.

“It was the best 3 years of my life,” I said, smiling.

Hearing my answer, Amari frown and ask.

“Did my exercise freak of a mother go easy on you?”

“I don’t know? We started at 5 in the morning and ended close to 9 the night.”

“You monster.” She said, looking at me like I was crazy.

“Haha, I have always love moving my body around, so it’s not that bad.”

“Hmm?” Seeing Granny’s confused face, I said.

“I am a reincarnation like Amari here.”

“What really? What was your name?” Amari said, shooting of questions.

Looking at her, I wanted to see her reaction when she hears who I was, am?

“Hehe, Shiro Adachi at your service,” I said, smiling at her. Hearing the name, her jaw dropped. After a while in being a daze, she started to smile.

“Pfft Haha, you got gender-bent. Haha, that’s what you get for steal Yua-sensei from me,” she shouted while rolling around on the floor.

After being in this body for so long, I have already accepted that fact, but my habits and speech still need some work.

Getting amused at her reaction, I thought she would get mad with all the things she has told other people about me. Thinking about her words, something clicked in my head. “You were in love with Yua-sensei!? That’s why you hated me because you thought I stole her from you.” I stood up and pointed at her.

“Shut up!” Standing up, she shouted at me with a blushed face.

“Wow, to think you hated me for something that I didn’t even do.”

“What do you mean you didn’t do. Everyone knew that you and sensei were a couple. They even saw you coming from the same apartment.”

“Uhm, I can’t really defend myself about coming out of the same apartment. We were Neighbors, though. But I do know that she isn’t into men anymore, and I saw her as my best friend.”

“What do you mean anymore. Did you do something to her!?”

“Well, we got pretty drunk one weekend once, and yeah. After that, she found out she was really into women. Before you think I raped her or anything. She was the one to dominate me. I tried to stop her.” I explained and hid my face at the end. I can still remember that night. She was an animal.

‘Didn’t you just say you didn’t take her away from Amari, but you slept with her!?’ Granny thought to herself, watching from the sideline.

“You got dominated!? You! The scary Shiro Adachi! And by the smallest and cutest teacher, we had nun the less!” She again started laugh and rolling on the ground. Calming herself down, she asked again. “When did you guys do it?”

“In July. First-year.” Giving her a short answer.

“That early. That was also the time when the rumors about you two being a couple started.”

“You are up to date about our lives, it seems.”

“Of course I did Stal-Cough, nevermind.” Hearing her answer, I thought back at the time, and it seemed I never noticed her stalking us.

‘She is a good stalker.’ Nodding at my thoughts.

“Cough. I think you two have talked enough. Can you explain to me what is going on, and Amari, what is this about you being in love with another girl?” Hearing a voice, I will always recognize it instantly. I looked at the door I saw mom standing there. Frowning at her, I was about to talk, but Amari talked first.

“Yes, I was in love with Yua-sensei, but that was the person I was in love with, not the gender. I was, is bisexual, but I like men more than women. You also don’t need to worry about me going for anyone other than my fiance because he was Yua-sensei.” Amari explains, defending herself.

This time it was my turn to laugh and roll around on the ground.

“I am not alone. Yes!? To think, the best friend of my past life is in the same predicament as me. Haha.” Laughing and fist-pumping the air, I shouted in joy. “The best part is she is in the same Kingdom.”

“It seems someone is happy.” Hearing a new male voice coming from the door, I looked back to the door, but I smelled something rotten before seeing the person.

“YOU REEK GO TAKE A SHOWER, DUMBASS!?” Shouted at my loudest, making the room shake.

“That’s not how-Kyaa” Not making him finished, I made some dagger and threw it at him.

“You reek go shower, now.” Holding up more daggers with my free hand while another one was over my nose. Seeing me with more knives, he ran out of the room.

“I told him to go shower,” Mom said, looking at Dean running away.

“I wouldn’t talk if I were you,” I said, narrowing my eyes at her. Sighing, I took my scarf out of my storage and put it around my neck. looking back at my food, I said. “Fucken ruined my meal, Tsk.”

“You seem to have more composure after your evolution and have changed a lot in appearance,” Mom said, sitting next to me.

“Yeah, I feel like now that I have accepted my bloodline, my mind wants to make everything amusing,” I said with a frown. “With your memories and my old ones being refreshed, I am not really surprised at me changing. The change in my body is a welcomed one, though. I hated to be that short, and my looks at this point just remind me of my old self, so I welcome it.” I looked up at her with a smile on my face.

“WAIT, WAIT!? She got more composure, my ass!?” Granny and Amari said, all of a sudden, screamed.

“Huh? You should have seen the last time I forgot to shower before dinner, and I also ruined her meal at that time. Ask Lily if it comes to food you don’t mess with her, and you follow her rules, or you get your ass handed to you no matter how strong you are. Don’t let me get started on her bones. Just leave her alone, let her eat them.” Mom said seriously while looking at Granny.
