The Fox Goddess - Chapter 402 Precious Gift

After Yuki finally confirmed that the orb that she casually threw was the Core of the Mortal Realm, a realization struck inside of their head. All of them had now realized that Yuki had just casually thrown the Core onto Ayame’s without a care if it was going to drop or not, all of them doesn’t know what to say to her, she had just thrown the Core of the Mortal Realm into the air without a care, even if it was not going to break, you will never know if it will cause some damage in it. And they will never know what could be the effect of that happening, but they wouldn’t take any risk in that happening.

“If it is the Core of the Mortal Realm, how could you throw it like that!? Don’t you realize how important that is!?” Lian for the first time her meeting Yuki had the urge to smack her on the head, everyone could tell that she was angry with Yuki, but they were just the same with her, all of them felt angry towards Yuki for being so nonchalant even till now, it looks like she still wasn’t taking any of this seriously. Still, they know that they cannot do anything about the matter, so they just took the path of not saying anything and just letting Lian do what she wants.

“Of course, I know how important that thing is. But it is not like that thing would break once it dropped, plus I think this Core is different from what you are holding. Can you pass it to me, Mother?” Yuki asked as she then watches her Mother slowly walk towards her and passes the Core in her hands, when Ayame saw the confusion on her daughter’s face, she also got confused because she just did what Yuki asked her to do.

“Why didn’t you just throw it to me as I did before?” Once her question left her mouth, Lian doesn’t know what to say anything more about it, she was speechless. Lian just couldn’t believe that Yuki would want to throw the Core of the Mortal Realm, if it was other people they would treasure it like it was their life, but Yuki was just different from other people. Lian has met other people that are nonchalant, but none of them was like Yuki, she was on another level. Yuki just doesn’t give a fuck about everything around her.

“Well, not that it matters anyway. Vantil, it looks like your time is done now. You don’t need to worry though, I can teach Lian how to control the Core of the Mystic Dragon Heaven, but before you leave let me ask you an important question about it. Does that Core has a Spirit inside of it?” Yuki asked in a quite serious tone as she then taps the Dark Orb with her fingers, and to Vantil’s absolute shock, a Spirit slowly came out of it. Everyone saw a golden-colored female Spirit come out of the orb, the Dark Orb then disappeared from her palm as it was now replaced by the Spirit that was twirling its body on top of Yuki’s palms.

“From the expression that you are making, it looks like this is your first time seeing something like this. But I am just as shocked as you, I thought that yours also has a Spirit because I thought that we have the same, but it looks like I’m wrong.” Yuki sighed in disappointment as she set her eyes on the Spirit that was holding the tip of her finger but it was also looking at her pitifully as if it was asking to be pet by her Master. Yuki remained indifferent when she saw the Spirit looking at her, she still remembered how the previous Spirit struggled under her grasp, but in the end, it still died. She even remembers how it tried to attack her, but it does not affect her because she was too strong. Though Yuki still raised her other hand and patted her head using her fingers, Yuki then saw the Spirit’s face bloom in happiness.

“Then what does she do? She seems very important though.” Lian asked, as the more knowledge she can the better, especially since not even the God of Mystic Heavens knows what is the Spirit. So learning something like this is once in a lifetime, and even if it would not help her, she would still be glad to learn it.

“This little thing has a very important role in the Mortal Realm, you can even say that she is the Empress. If I am the Goddess, then she’s the Empress, her authority is only one below mine, but she still has the power to manipulate everything inside of the Mortal Realm, but I don’t allow her to do it because she is still relatively young. And as you can see, she is pretty childish, so handing so that amount of power is going to cause all around her.” Yuki explained to them, she then took a quick pause to look at the little Spirit that was at least the size of her finger before continuing.

“But that is not the complete reason why she is important, her existence alone causes a great chance in the Mortal Realm because… She is the one that brings balance in that World, and the reason for me saying that is because this little Spirit is the one that allows Mana to exist in the Mortal Realm, and before you react. Yes, the Mortal Realm now has Mana in it, but don’t expect too much from the Humans there, they are stupid, of course except for me, Fumiko, and the Humans that I brought here.” Yuki explained to them, but no one knows how to react to her last sentence, it sounded so arrogant, but all of them knew that she can easily back her sentence up.

“I see… So this little Spirit has so much Power huh? That is amazing, I’m glad that I can see and know such a thing before I disappear.” Vantil said with a genuine smile on his face and as he finished his words his body started to glow. He already knew what was happening, it was inevitable, but he was not as sad anymore. Though Ayame felt a little bit emotional because this was their first-ever reunion and also their last, it was a sad thought but it was a part of life. This was something uncontrollable, people just need to accept it.

Parts of his body slowly begin to fade away to the point that his arm was almost see-through. Everyone felt a little depressed after knowing that Vantil would finally disappear forever, even though they have only met today, they were already attached to him. So seeing him leaving was a bit painful to them, even Yuki’s three little girls were a little sad because they thought that they would get a new uncle, but it was just wishful thinking. Surprisingly, even the Gods of the Mortal Realm was also a little bit emotional, all of them were used to being treated as lowly God especially when they met Gods that were from the Immortal Realm, but the way that Vantil treated them was nothing like that. He still respected them and even treated each and one of them equally.

“Uncle Vantil… Will you now also go to Heaven?” Yumie approached Vantil and asked a pretty difficult question that made him stumble. Everyone in the room knows how Heaven works, and a dead person going to Heaven is not one of them. Heaven is the only and only Ruler, but some people still refuse to believe that it exists because of some reasons, and in truth. Once a person dies, his/her Soul would go into the cycle of Reincarnation, that person would lose all of their memories, power, and everything and would start a brand new life again once all of it is done.

“Yumie, can you sit beside me?…” Yuki said in a very soft tone as she patted the chair next to her as a sign for Yumie to take her seat. Yumie then slowly took her way toward her Mother with heavy steps and just this scene made others heartache.

“Where did you hear that from?” Yuki asked in such a gentle voice that none of them couldn’t even believe what they were hearing. Not even Fumiko who stayed the most out of everyone here heard such kind of a tone from Yuki. Yumie didn’t answer for a few seconds, but after calming herself a little, she took a deep breath before answering her Mother’s question which made some of them speechless.

“My Mother said it to me, but not you. It was my real Mother who said it to me… Mother Alfina.” Yumie answered in a tone full of difficulty, her answer was not something that Yuki would have expected because this is the first time that she has heard of that name, in the past Yumie would be quiet about the topic of her real Mother and she didn’t hold that much attention to it because she doesn’t want to pressure Yumie into telling her if she doesn’t want to.

“I see… Let’s talk about this later, okay? Can you take your two sisters back to your room? I will see you three later in your room.” Yuki tasked all of them and it didn’t take long for them to follow their Mother’s orders and slowly made their way back to Yumie’s room, but before they could continue, all of them turned back and hugged Vantil’s fading body before sprinting towards Yumie’s room as fast as possible. It was as if they didn’t want to see him die right in front of them which is what Yuki wanted.

“Whatever you heard from Yumie today, don’t ever bring this up, alright? Let them have their belief about people going to Heaven once they die, even though I don’t believe in it. Don’t pop their bubble. Also… this Dinner is done now. All of you can take your leave, Lucifer, Amaterasu, and the rest of you, you have the choice of joining the Demon Race or staying at my Villa. My Villa still has some space in it, just look for Asuka if you ever need a room. Excuse me, I will take my leave now.” Yuki gave her final words as she stood up, but she didn’t leave just yet. She first made her way to Fumiko and Anna and each kissed them on the cheek and whispered a few words into their ear before moving to her Mother.

​ Ayame didn’t know what she was doing, but she was expecting a kiss from her daughter, and because she expected, she was more down when she didn’t get a kiss from her. But she didn’t show her disappointment in front of Yuki. Though Yuki didn’t show much attention to her Mother’s reaction, she didn’t give much thought to it because she was going to give her a gift that would most likely make Ayame’s mood much better, well that was what Yuki was hoping for.

“I hope this can make up for the kiss that you were hoping for…” Yuki said nothing more as she placed a white box in front of her Mother before leaving. Her actions only made Ayame confused because not only her daughter said nothing about the present that she left on the table, she just left. With a confused look, she untied the ribbon and slowly opened the present, but when she saw the contents of the box, tears magically stream down her face shocking Serene, and just as she was about to ask why she saw the contents of the box.

“Is this the pendant that you gave to her? But why does it look different from how I remember it, wait… there are two inside of it.” Serene said as she took the other pendant and began to take a closer look at it. Being a master weaponsmith, she already knew that the pendant was something not special, it doesn’t hold any effects on it, but it was a special gift for someone. Ayame on the other hand was crying softly as she then took the remaining pendant from the box, but as she lifted it she saw a piece of paper inside of it. She placed back the pendant very gently as if she was afraid of breaking, and grabbed the paper to read what was written on it.
