Chapter 333: A Deal With Miranda

-----

Drake had only asked for a single request to Miranda through this deal! For her to show up more and interact more with him and possibly with everyone else. She had been way too secretive, only talking a lot with Benladann and still caging herself inside of Benladann"s soul as if she were a Neet.

She had seen through her eyes, however, and was happy with just that, but Drake wanted more from her, he wanted her to live her own life as well, and to form her own experiences rather than sharing everything with Benladann.

And he had begun to develop some interest in her and wanted to see how she could develop as an individual, incentivizing her to act independently might bring forth new ways to see how cute she could be.

And Drake was a man that loved all things cute and couldn"t possibly let go of this potential cuteness machine.

All things said, he was just being gentle too and decided to trust her judgment for once. After all the things she had gone through and after all, he had seen her do and say, seeing her change so much inspired him to change his thoughts a bit more, even if there were risks within this whole decision.

There were risks, yes, but Drake took them head-on sometimes, so there wasn"t much difference.

And there was something else that Miranda was right about… she was strong, and her strength could be useful one way or another.

Somehow, her strength could bring forth a whole new amount of possibilities for them, even if she couldn"t properly act in the outside world, there were still things her powers could do if they merged with the versatility of Drake and Benladann.

Alone she couldn"t do much, but what if she gets the help of others to use her powers to her full potential in several different scenarios and the like? New and completely crazy things could happen!

Belle herself was waving her tail through the entire interaction, her eyes were shining brightly as if hearts came out of them, the whole scene inspired her and filled her with fuzzy feelings. It was all so cute and even a bit romantic!

"Uwah! Drake, you"re so nice and gentle…" she said on the sidelines.

"Eh? Ah… Right, you"re here…" said Drake. He had lost himself in Miranda"s enchanting crimson eyes for a few seconds.

"Now… I guess we are really just trusting you." Said Benladann.

"Yeah… I guess we are just doing that. Fine… Um. So what? What do we do?" asked Drake.

"C-Can… I get a hug?" asked the fox girl while waving her fox tail playfully. She was growing red and her breath was heavy… she was craving a bit of cuddle!

"Erm… I… We"ll think about it." said Benladann.

"Yeaah… perhaps you"re going a bit too far there." Said Drake.

"Oohh… S-Sorry… How about a petting?" asked the fox girl, giving the trio puppy eyes.

"Well fine…" sighed Drake, as he couldn"t resist the mofu-mofu anymore, as he extended his hands and petted her silky pink hair gently.

"Ahhh!" Belle released a little surprise moan, as Drake continued a bit, he caressed her fluffy and big fox ears, they were warm and soft, and very silky too, they felt good and cute, and they twitched from time to time as well!

Drake suddenly felt overwhelmed but kept his composure.

"Uwah! So cute!" said Benladann. Unlike Drake, she had fewer restrains and petted the fox girl"s head and ears.

"Okay! Enough! T-This is not what we are supposed to do- oohh?!" Miranda muttered, as she was suddenly wrapped around by a ma.s.sive and fluffy tail, the softness and warmth it had made her suddenly realize the wondrousness of fox girls.

But that was indeed enough! they couldn"t possibly waste away their day doing pets to a fox girl, they had accidentally come here for some weird reason, and now that Drake had calmed down and everything was settling down, the fox girl wasn"t attacking them nor imprisoning them, perhaps she was saying the truth.

But he still couldn"t help but have this question tormenting his mind a lot, and he decided to quickly take it out through words.

"How did it happen? How was it possible for my protection runes to be destroyed?" he wondered.

"The spell… you"re right, it suddenly broke and it let us enter here again…" sighed Benladann.

"So that happened? I did felt something breaking too… a strange force came out of Benladann, and it broke it alongside Drake"s." said Miranda.

"Huh?!" asked the pair.

"Oh, maybe something that has to do with that soul over there?" asked Belle.

Suddenly, the trio glared at a small they had not even noticed before, but that was lurking around silently.

It was a small soul, the size of a fist, and it had a very faint appearance, mostly resembling a ma.s.s of glowing white light. But the slight appearance it had resembled a small fetus.

"…"

The little soul wandered around curiously. What could this little guy be?

"W-Who is that?" asked Miranda.

"C-Could it be? Is that…?" wondered Benladann, as the little soul flew back to her belly, and fused to her.

FLASH!

A bright white light covered her once more, a heavenly power that made even the mana in this place tremble a bit…

"T-That was… our baby"s soul?! Did our baby dispel our spells? But why!?" asked Drake.

"Amazing… it can do that already!" said Benladann.

"Well yes, it is indeed an amazing baby but how?!" asked Drake.

"I felt something! Within that little soul, there was a very strong power, a very strong white light, a faint feeling of heavenly power… w-what kind of child do you two have?" wondered the fox girl in shock.

"W-We don"t really know, but it is already a month old I believe." Said Drake.

"I-I see… Perhaps it will develop something very powerful in the future…" said the fox girl.

"Very powerful… Well, I hope that it only did that out of mistake… it seemed very innocent and curious… my baby…" sighed Benladann, caressing her belly. The little soul of her child rested within her own.
