I've Turned Into A Fox Girl?

<Next day>

Clara was the first to wake up and when she did, her face was smothered into Shaman's chest. Trying to move away, Clara found herself stuck as Elysia hugged her from behind.

Clara had been sandwiched while asleep and didn't know what to do.

'I don't want to wake them up.' Internally sobbing, she laid there until suddenly Shaman pulled Clara closer.

'Oh no my horns!' Realising the kind of position she was in, her horns were going to stab Shaman right in the face. Although they were not sharp like a blade, the tip of the horn was quite pointy.

Clara's horns stabbed right into Shaman's chin and caused her to instantly wake up while grabbing her chin.

"Ow fuck!" Tossing and turning around in the bed, it took her a moment to settle down before looking around to see what happened. Seeing Clara awake and a guilty look on her face, Shaman pieced together that she was stabbed by her horns.

"Sorry, it just sort of happened and I couldn't really react in time to stop it." Clara spoke quietly and quickly, unsure if she was going to get punished.

"Haha, no need to be sorry, I can see you didn't intend for it and if anything it's my fault for wanting to sandwich you with Elysia as a surprise for when you woke up." After Shaman and Elysia finished last night, they decided it would be a good idea to squish Clara, hoping she would freak out.

*Yawn* "What's going on?" Elysia pushed herself up in a half-dazed state and leaned on one arm.

"Ah-." Clara went to face Elysia, but her chest was right at Clara's head level and got smothered by them, cutting off her surprised yell.

"Oh? Whoops, sorry, Clara." Elysia heard the small cut-off yell as she felt something hit her chest.

"I'm going to have a chest overload at this rate." Clara sat up straight completely red, getting almost overwhelmed by all these accidents.

"Fufu~ you just have to get used to it, plus with Elysia around, it's hard for things to not be… let's say horny, wait no that sounds bad, especially with your horns, how about sexual." Shaman tried not to be too blunt, but the casual term she used in her original world didn't quite fit.

"I can't help it, I blame Shaman for all the fun we had when we first got together hehe~." Elysia shifted the blame as in reality it was Shaman's fault for introducing such activities into Elysia's life.

"Oi! We only did it like twice back then, not my fault you became some nympho always at your knees begging we keep going." Shaman refused to take the blame as she never thought it would turn out like this.

"Pffhaha, I guess we will see if I turn into one and if I do I blame you Sha~." Clara knew this would be a great excuse for more action as well as a chance to join forces with Elysia to tease Shaman.

"Tsssk fine." Shaman accepted, not realising what will be in store for her in the future.

"Mothers!!! Kiruya wants to see you."

'It sounded weird to say mothers.' Silver yelled out from behind the door, but found that it did not really roll off the tongue.

"Coming!" Elysia responded, hoping Silver wouldn't enter as the bedroom was a complete mess with clothes everywhere and stained sheets.

"Good thing magic exists." Shaman had the same thought and got to cleaning right away.

Conveniently, the room had a magic circle in the corner and underneath the bed for cleaning. These magic circles replaced washing machines and were 10x faster, especially since they could also dry clothes.

After cleaning up and putting on their clothes, they made their way to the lounge. Kiruya, Silver and Elanor were at the table eating, waiting for them to come out.

"Finally, eat up and it will be time to take on the 2nd floor and enter the elf palace." Kiruya spoke quickly and seemed like she was in a hurry, which didn't go unnoticed.

"What's the hurry, something happened?" Shaman sat down while asking, wanting to know if they should try and hurry.

"Himeko could be in danger, the pope is making a move towards the demon lands." Kiruya received a report in the morning from Freya, informing her what was going on.

"Wait what?" Clara was the first to react as although her relationship with Himeko was rocky, she still hoped to meet her and find out why Himeko sealed her memories.

"One of our informants that follows the human generals told us they were summoned by the pope to form an elite party to raid the demon lands." Kiruya kept the explanation brief and finished her food.

hearing the news, the others quickly started on their food as it was urgent they get what they had to do here done.

*

Everyone finished up and followed Kiruya towards the dungeon including Elanor who was still confused, not really knowing the full story.

"Once we are at the palace we will see the king right away! Elanor, if you can't sort out things with your family, you will have to make a choice." Kiruya needed Elanor to make a decision as they cannot delay their trip any further.

"What are my choices?" It was a rather grim realisation as she really wanted to be back with her family, but there was also a part of her wanting to leave.

"You can either continue your life here or you can come stay in the Freya forest and serve Freja, the ruler."

"Any other option?" Elanor was still looking for an out, as serving someone else didn't suit her taste.

"You can join our group and adventure with us, but I must warn you that it won't be easy and you could very well die the next day." Shaman answered, turning back to explain as she knew what Kiruya would say.

'I didn't want to take Elanor in since she is weak, but it seems like I won't have a choice.' Shaman didn't want to take Elanor on such a dangerous journey since was not used to these types of hardships. Shaman also only considered taking Elanor if they could boost her power similar to what happened with the eggshells.

This came as a shock to Elanor as she had very little combat experience and felt like she would be a burden. However, this was the kind of offer she wanted, something that would let her be free and not worry about who she is.

'If they are willing to take me then I should take the opportunity.' Knowing this will be her only shot at getting strong, Elanor decided what she was going to do.

"Shaman, if you are willing to take me with you then please, I want to get stronger. I don't care about my family and if they are no longer willing to take me, then my new family is here with you all." Elanor gave her answer and everyone was impressed with her response.

"Make sure you train her well." Kiruya smiled and let Shaman take over the conversation while she led them to the dungeon.

"With an answer like that, I can't really decline… If I'm honest I was going to reject you joining since it would be too dangerous, but I'm sure we can work around that." Shaman figured giving Elanor a system would be able to boost her.

[Elanor is now suitable to receive a system]

Getting the notification confirmed Shaman's thoughts and wondered if Rea could do anything about getting Elanor's level up.

"I-I understand, I half expected to be rejected, but I will work hard to catch up." Elanor felt relieved that she was accepted, knowing there was a real chance of her not joining at all.

"We will get you a weapon and once we are in the dungeon I have something to give you, so before we get there, try to think of a weapon you want to use." Shaman would deal with the system once they are in the dungeon as they wouldn't have any eyes on them.

"Mhm." Elanor nodded her head and the excitement was kicking in.

"Elysia, Clara and Silver, you have no issues with this? I should have asked before." Shaman turned to the others who had kept silent, letting Shaman take lead.

"I have no issues." Clara didn't see a problem with Elanor joining but was actually more worried about Elysia.

"No issues Mum!" Silver smiled, happy that Elanor was joining as he enjoyed her presence.

"Mmm fine." Elysia pouted, as it was another woman in the group, but thanks to Clara, Elysia was a lot more open to Elanor joining.

"Thank you." Elanor was nervous while hearing their responses, but the positive response she got fueled her excitement.

"Good, we are almost there so try to make a decision on your weapon of choice." Shaman, getting their approval, then made sure Elanor focused back on thinking about a weapon as they can't spend a lot of time playing around.
