I've Turned Into A Fox Girl?

*Clap, Clap, Clap* Freja clapped her hands after hearing Elysia's side of the story, impressed that she was willing to take a step forward where only few would be willing.

"This is one major step forward for you, but are you sure you are ready for such a thing? If you jump into things too fast, it could very well end up ruining your friendship" Freja dropped her laid-back attitude, emphasizing that this was no joking matter.

"Y-yes, The only reason I was able to do this in the first place was that Shaman allowed it." Elysia saw no reason to hide from Freja her new insights as to how her emotions worked.

"Oh?" Freja knew there was a new development regarding Elysia's emotions, but hadn't gotten any of the details yet.

"As long as Shaman is the one doing it, or is at least okay with it, then I don't feel any rage or intent to kill bubble up in me."

"Hmm, I see, well that solves the problem of you pouncing on Clara. However, communication is important even more than ever, especially for you Shaman. One misunderstanding can cause an apocalypse." Freja looked over to Shaman who was sitting by the door with Kiruya who joined in while Elysia was giving her explanation.

Shaman nodded her head. She was still worried it would be too hard and eventually the relationship would fall apart.

"I know what you are thinking. What if I fail? Can I really do it? How long will it last? These are all valid concerns, but remember Shaman, getting there takes time and there will be hiccups along the way. If things do go wrong you need to stay calm and talk about it like adults. Don't go into a fit of rage destroying everything." Freja quickly glanced at Elysia after her last comment as it wouldn't be a surprise if she did just that.

Elysia lowered her head since she had no good retort as what Freja said was true.

"I understand." Shaman felt better about the situation, but still had some lingering fears.

"My advice applies to you as well, Elysia and Clara. If you ever feel uncomfortable or do not like something, speak immediately. The worst thing you could do is wait until one of you cracks just because you didn't say anything." Freja being through this before knew exactly what it was like, so she hoped they took her advice to heart.

Elysia and Clara nodded, trying to engrave Freja's message in their minds as they could tell she was extremely serious about the matter.

"There is also one thing I want you to do. Since this is going to be a rather unique relationship, you need to get used to each other." Freja smirked as what she had planned would most likely cause a bit of a commotion.

The girls, seeing the smirk, felt a little afraid of what Freja could possibly be planning.

"I want you, Elysia to… Kiss Clara." Freja paused for suspense and, once she revealed what her plans were, everyone froze.

Elysia shook a little as she knew this was inevitable, but it had to be done. She tried looking over to Shaman, but before she could, a blood claw grabbed her face.

"No looking at Shaman, I want you to be able to do it without needing her confirmation." Freja wanted to test out Elysia's emotional state, seeing if her anger would come out.

"Fine." Elysia took a deep breath, telling herself how everything is okay, and Shaman is fine with it.

'Shaman isn't yelling or disagreeing so it's fine, it is something she wants.' Convincing herself, she looked directly at Clara in the eyes, readying herself. Clara swallowed her saliva. She was well aware that although they had agreed to enter a relationship, feelings hadn't quite formed yet for Elysia.

"I'm waiting~." Freja put on the pressure, trying to push the limits of Elysia as much as she could.

Elysia hesitated for a moment, but not wanting to linger on her feelings, she pulled Clara in.

Kissing Clara, Elysia kept it going for some time, even getting a bit more intense the longer they held it. This sparked something in both of them and no longer was there an air of awkwardness between them.

Freja raised an eyebrow as she did not expect Elysia to pull it off, so it came as a pleasant surprise that she did it.

Shaman, seeing the scene, squirmed a little. It was not out of jealousy, but because it was rather hot to watch.

Freja saw Shaman squirm a little which was perfect material for Freja to tease her.

Finally pulling away from each other, they looked deeply into each other's eyes for a moment.

"Well done~, How did it feel?" Freja clapped again, happy with the results as the look in their eyes said it all.

"I-it was a lot better than I thought. Honestly, I think I can truly accept Clara now." Elysia expressed how she felt about the situation and Clara couldn't be happier hearing those words.

"Mhm, I feel a lot more comfortable after this." Clara smiled, no longer feeling like an outsider or an exception, but more like a part of the group.

"Good, with everything all sorted, I should head back home and let you continue your mission." Freja had no reason to stay anymore, so she got up and went to leave.

"Oh okay, bye then?" Elysia felt it was a bit sudden for her to leave, but she couldn't complain, especially with how much help Freja gave.

"Thank you Freja." Shaman did a small bow as Freja walked past and in return got headpats.

"I leave it up to you now, just know you can ask for advice whenever you need it." Freja smiled and opened the bedroom's door. However, with the door open, she now noticed Silver and Elanor eavesdropping on the other side.

"Silver has a girlfriend?" Freja was surprised to see someone else in the hideout and seeing her with Silver made Freja jump to conclusions.

"Huh?" Elanor looked up in shock, as it was a completely wrong judgment. Not to mention that with their age gap, it would feel extremely gross.

*Sigh* "That's Elanor, we helped her deal with some shitty nobles and are currently trying to get her back to her family." Shaman quickly explained, trying to ignore what Freja said, not ready at all to discuss Silver having a relationship.

'My innocent boy.' Crying internally, she hoped her explanation was enough to change the subject.

"Elanor? The thrown-away princess?" Freja knew who the black haired elf was, but needed to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

"Geh." Elanor did not like hearing her new moniker, but it was indeed her.

"You know her?" Shaman was surprised to hear Freya knew her but realized that Kiruya also knew of Elanor, so it was not far-fetched that Freya was aware of her.

"Oh my, you have grown so much since the last time I have seen you." Freja grabbed Elanor by the face and examined her entire body.

"U-umm." Elanor didn't know what to do as she didn't recognize the blonde she-wolf in front of her.

"Sorry, didn't mean to get up in your face." Freja quickly stepped back as it was rather rude of her to grab Elanor's face.

"T-that's fine, but… you know me?" Elanor didn't remember much of when she was younger since it was buried with many other horrible memories.

"Yes, since I worked with your father before. I wish I could have helped you when you got kicked out, but the damn old bastard banned me from visiting." Freja gritted her teeth as it was completely unjust, but it was only a matter of time before she could come back.

"It's okay. I have managed to survive on my own and, thanks to everyone here, I will finally be able to see father again." Elanor looked gratefully at Shaman and everyone else, as without them, she probably would have been turned into a slave or killed.

"I see, it was good to see you again and I hope your situation gets better. You should be allowed back soon, so even if this doesn't work out, just wait for a bit longer." Freja also patted Elanor on the head before finally walking out of the room. Kiruya followed Freja out of the room as she wanted to personally say goodbye before she went back.

"So umm, how are things?" Silver wanted to know what was happening since Freja's sudden appearance was a surprise.

"Silver, you have a third mother now, to put it simply." Shaman didn't want to beat around the bush as it would be impossible to hide in the first place.

"Ehhhh!!!!" Silver felt like he just got smacked in the face as it was something he did not expect to hear. Even Elanor was shocked, struggling to make sense of it all, as having 3 mothers did not sound right.

"Hey~." Clara waved at Silver feeling a little indifferent about Silver being her son now.

"Are you sure it's okay?" Clara whispered in Elysia's ear, wondering if it was even okay to be considered a mother now.

"I don't see why not, plus I think it would make him happy since he has grown a little bit of an attachment to you." Elysia threw discretion out the window, speaking her mind loud and clear.

"Clara? Mother Clara?" Silver was still processing the information, but once it clicked, he ran up and jumped into Clara's arms.

"Hehehe~." Silver wasn't going to complain and, in fact, was super happy since he really liked Clara.

"Oh haha~." Clara wasn't sure what to do, but she hugged Silver while patting his head.

Shaman and Elysia smiled, glad it turned out really well with no issues at all.
