摩多摩多(Motto-motto – Homophonic translation of the Japanese phrase, and it’s used to convey the idea of something being continuous or ongoing. Can be translated to English as “more and more, “don’t stop”)
“Click…”
With a soft sound, a room’s door opened almost silently.
The fox-girl saintess peeked out from the room, her expression full of vigilance.
Under her watchful gaze, the living room outside was completely visible.
And she saw this scene:
“Please open your mouth, Miss Beatrice.”
An extremely beautiful maid was holding a bowl, feeding a cute little girl in a monotone voice.
“Ahh~~~”
The cute little girl obediently opened her mouth, taking the spoon offered to her, swallowing a mouthful of meat and broth, her cheeks puffed out as she slowly chewed.
Beside the two girls was a man yawning as he cut into a steak with a knife.
“Isn’t it a bit much to eat something so heavy this early in the morning?”
He muttered, but his actions showed no hesitation as he shoveled the steak into his mouth, eating faster than anyone else.
The fox-girl saintess could understand his hypocritical behavior.
Even from her position, she could smell the enticing aroma that made her mouth water.
(Ugh, it smells so good…)
The fox-girl saintess was certain that the food with such a fragrance must be an incredibly delicious delicacy.
In front of such a delicacy, even the most picky eater would be unable to resist digging in and finishing it all.
The fox-girl saintess felt an urge to rush out and indulge.
But she held back.
She knew all the people before her.
Beatrice, needless to say, the fox-girl saintess had known of her existence from the beginning.
Lasha had been observed by the fox-girl saintess during her prayers in Jeritte.
As for Shien, there was no need to mention him. He had almost caused a disaster by breaking the seal in the temple.
In other words, these people were no different from enemies to the fox-girl saintess.
(I really have been captured…)
The fox-girl saintess felt heavyhearted.
She was under a lot of pressure.
Ever since she was born, she had always been accompanied by members of the priest group. She had never been alone like this, let alone captured by enemies.
This was undoubtedly very stressful for the fox-girl saintess, who had never acted alone before.
Under such circumstances, she had to face a group of powerful enemies alone, including Beatrice, which made her want to cry.
(Waaah, I can’t do this…!)
The fox-girl saintess cried in her heart.
Perhaps because she had never been alone since childhood, she was surprisingly timid.
If members of the priest group were around, she could hold her head high and display the dignity of the saintess. But once she was alone, she would feel very insecure.
Have you ever seen a girl who was afraid of the dark and couldn’t sleep alone?
That was her.
Have you ever seen a girl who screamed in fear during a thunderstorm?
That was her.
No one knew about this side of the fox-girl saintess, only the members of the priest group who had accompanied her since childhood.
Therefore, for the fox-girl saintess, the current situation was truly worrying.
(Will I be imprisoned here until I die of old age?)
(Those delicious-looking foods definitely won’t be for me, right?)
(Why did they capture me?)
(And… Did… Did that human man change my clothes…?)
(What will happen to me next?)
Waaah, I’m so worried…
The fox-girl saintess couldn’t help but imagine all sorts of miserable futures, causing her timid side to gradually surface.
While the fox-girl saintess was lost in her own thoughts, Shien and the others were still enjoying their meal.
“Come on, have another bite, Miss Beatrice.”
