The Fox Goddess - Chapter 406 Alfina Part 1
As the two of them start a heated fight, Yuki was oblivious to what is happening outside, but even if she got the news of what is about to brew outside, she still wouldn’t care because she knows that the two wouldn’t really kill each other. The fight that was about to start was simply to know who between the two is superior as there is a huge change in their body, the two even forgot what is the true purpose of why Fumiko asked them to demonstrate how they fight as a student that Yuki personally taught. But none of that matter to the two, as Cindy doesn’t want Diana to claim her seat as the strongest student of Yuki, and Diana wants to overtake Cindy’s spot.
The situation inside Yumie’s room was depressing, it has such a sad atmosphere that it greatly affected Yuki’s thinking, and the emotions of her three daughters were leaking everywhere inside the room. A question was not even to ask how the three of them were feeling, even Katsumi who also has the coldest personality out of the three was pretty sad about Vantil’s departure, though she only has a cold exterior but a soft interior inside. Katsumi was just forcing herself to not shed a tear because she believed that crying is a sign of weakness, though Yuki didn’t teach her that, it was because of the Dragon’s innate pride and arrogance, and they see crying or letting your emotion out as a disgrace to their Race.
“All of you listen to me… Sadness is a natural thing to feel in all living, so all of you can cry as much as you want. If you are thinking that crying is maybe a sign of weakness, you are wrong. You don’t need to care what others are going to think about you if you cry in front of them because it is your own life, why do you have to care what others think of you?” Yuki said softly as she then opened both of her arms and hugged the three of them, as she hugs the three of them silence erupted once more in the room, but that silence was soon cut down by the wails of the three little girls.
“It’s okay… You can let it all out.” Yuki comforted each one of them as she gently pats their head while whispering comforting words into their ears which ultimately calm them down. Their cries finally stopped and they slowly backed away to dry off their tears using their little hands.
“Mother, will Uncle Vantil also go to Heaven like what you said to me before? Then will he meet Mother Fairy there?” Aika raised a question that piqued the interest of the two, especially Yumie because it was the same words that Alfina her blood-related Mother gave to her when she died, as she remembers her Mother’s words, she began to remember the nightmare that she had for years in her life.
“Don’t be sad my little baby… I maybe pass away right now, but don’t worry I will go to a much more peaceful World called Heaven. It is a beautiful word, but for your sake, I promise that I will come back to your side so that we can live happily again. I hope that you can wait for me my little Yumie, Mother will go to Heaven for a few years because I need to do something there, after I am done, I will come back to you. So please wait for me-,” Those were Alfina’s last words before she dies right in front of Yumie, but the naive Yumie didn’t understand her Mother’s words at that moment, but now that she is older she now understands what it truly means. She didn’t even manage to finish her words before she died, this memory brings Yumie a lot of pain every time she remembers it. She would sometimes have dreams about that night when her Mother died, and at that time she regrets that she wasn’t able to do anything to help Alfina that could’ve prevented her death.
“Yes… Vantil will go to Heaven, as for him meeting Mother Fairy… I don’t know about that because Heaven is very big and different from the World that we are living in now. In Heaven, there is no longer Magic or Qi in there because Heaven is a place where peace can truly be achieved. So I don’t know, but maybe, if you pray and wish enough, the two might able to meet.” Yuki smiled as she patted Aika’s head, even though that wasn’t the answer that Aika was hoping for, it was more than enough for her because she now have a much clearer knowledge of Heaven. But just wasn’t her that learned something new, Katsumi and Yumie learned something very important.
“Mother, then who is the God of Heaven? He or she must be a very powerful person to control such a world that great, right?” Katsumi asked as she then leans her head on Yuki’s shoulder as support and waited for her to answer.
“That… I actually don’t know because I have never experienced going to Heaven, but if I did I would never be here you know? Only those people that entered know who is the God that controls Heaven. But if you want, I can try to get some information on who controls it?” Yuki lightly chuckled, but she didn’t expect the sudden outburst of the three little girls.
“NO! You don’t need to learn who is the God of Heaven if it means that you have to go there, that means that you will leave us. We don’t want that to happen.” All of them said in unison which made Yuki swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She was about to make a joke about her going to Heaven, but it looks like they have read her mind and taken things seriously and thought that she was really going to sacrifice herself.
“Alright, don’t worry~ I will never leave by your side. I will always be there when you need me. But changing our topic, Yumie do you think you can say now who Alfina is, your true Mother and maybe even gave a little background about yourself? Even though I raised you for one year, you didn’t speak anything about your real family which I didn’t mind because I don’t have any right question you about it because it is your privacy, and we can understand if you can’t still say anything about it. We will wait until you can finally say something about yourself. Right, Katsumi, Aika?” Yuki said in a very gentle voice as she then turned towards her two daughters and waited for an answer from them, and it didn’t take a long time for them to make a move. The both of them slowly made their way to Yumie and gave her a big hug without saying anything, but after a few seconds, they finally opened their mouth.
“Yeah, Mother is right Big Sister Yumie! We don’t want to pressure you into saying things that you are uncomfortable with, but whenever you’re ready to say anything, just remember that we are here for you to listen to your problems or whatever it is that you want to talk about.” Katsumi said with a genuine smile on her face as she closed her eyes and only focus on giving Yumie a hug, Aika then followed after.
“Big Sister Yumie! Mommy is right, we will never pressure you because just like what she said we don’t have any right into pressuring you to say something about your painful past. Even though I can’t relate to what you’re feeling because I didn’t see Mother Fairy in all my life, I can at least try to lessen the burden that you are feeling by this.” Aika very softly said as she then opened her palm and soon the dark room began to glow in a radiant gold color because of the Fairys that started to fly into the air.
“Beautiful…” All three of them gasped, even Aika herself was captivated by her own skills because this is the first time she has tried to do something like this. As for Yuki, she only stayed quiet and let the three sisters sort out their feelings, but just as she was watching them with a smile hanging on her face she heard a Quest Notification from Fubuki.
