Yes, Lady Funina!

Upon seeing this, Lynette's tail immediately bristled and she reached out to pull the unruly fox off Richard.

Don't touch him!

Why does this centenarian woman act so innocently, like a virgin?

Yae no Miko did not resist Lynette's pulling, but let her pull her sleeve backward.

The end result was that the clothes moved but the person did not. Yae no Miko's clothes were half-covered, and her smooth shoulders were exposed to the air. A corner of her pink undergarment could be vaguely seen. Her fair and delicate skin was particularly dazzling under the moonlight outside the window, radiating a pearly white luster.

Although it was already the end of the year and the cold winter, spring seemed to have broken out inside the house.

Lynette frantically tried to pull the clothes back onto Yae no Miko, but because Yae no Miko was wearing a shrine maiden's outfit, even though Lynette tried her best to restore it, it was still loose and couldn't stop the full bloom of spring.

It even added a kind of messy beauty, like a virtuous woman being harassed, trying her best to cover up the glimpse of spring with her clothes. Yae no Miko even cooperated by showing a pitiful look, which was incredibly alluring.

Richard could only say that she understood.

As a mature fox spirit with five hundred years of cultivation, Yae no Miko is clearly not comparable to Lynette, a fledgling kitten who has only recently come of age.

It is common knowledge that dogs are the natural enemy of cats, and foxes are also canines, so it is understandable that Lynette was no match for Yae no Miko.

However, Lynette is no pushover either. If she can't solve the problem, can't she at least deal with the person who caused it?

Lynette didn't bother with Yae no Miko and directly used her tail to cover Richard's eyes.

"You, you quickly put your clothes on!" Linette was both anxious and embarrassed. She was anxious because Yae no Miko had no martial ethics and had tricked and ambushed her, a young kitten.

What was embarrassing was that she had underestimated the sensitivity of her own tail. The warmth emanating from her tail, along with Richard's even breathing rhythm, felt like someone was deliberately tickling the most sensitive part of her body with feathers.

The girl's arches were tense, and her tender, lotus-bud-like toes were tightly curled up. Her whole body felt weak, but she had to muster her strength to maintain her posture so that she wouldn't collapse onto the bed.

However, this situation quickly caught the attention of Yae no Miko. Although the only light source in the room was the bright moonlight outside the window, it was perfectly reasonable for Yae no Miko, as a fox spirit, to have the ability to see at night.

She watched as Lynette's face gradually flushed crimson, and her breathing grew heavier. Then she glanced at Lynette's cat tail, and a playful expression appeared on her face.

Knowing full well what was going on, Yae no Miko asked, "Linette, why is your face so red?"

"No, it's nothing!" Lynette said, trying to remain calm.

"Could she be angry?"

Lynette gritted her teeth and said, "N-no..."

She was almost at her limit, and with the strange feeling coming from her tail, she felt that every second from now on was a challenge to her limits.

"You... um... you should get dressed quickly." Lynette grabbed the sheets, seemingly trying to distract herself and alleviate the strange sensation she had never felt before in her lower abdomen.

"Don't rush, the shrine maiden's outfit is very difficult to put on..." Yae no Miko slowly pulled up the drooping collar from her arm.

The entire movement was unhurried and deliberate; although it was just adjusting her clothes, Yae Shinko conveyed the feeling of leisurely enjoying afternoon tea.

It was as if she wasn't getting dressed, but rather performing some solemn ceremony.

"..." Lynette began to bite her lip, and the force gradually increased.

Meanwhile, Yae no Miko continued to stroll leisurely, and even slipped her hand halfway through, causing the collar of her dress to slide off her shoulder as if she had been soaped.

What's even more outrageous is that this time it wasn't just a corner of her underwear that was exposed, but half of it was revealed. The shape of the large fruit wrapped in the underwear was clearly visible, just like a ripe honeydew melon.

"Oh dear, it's too dark in the room, I can't see very well. Could you please turn on the light for me, Lynette?" Yae no Miko asked softly.

However, Lynette remained silent. "Can't see clearly?" she asked. "Then how did you notice I blushed?"

Moreover, a shrine priest like Yae no Miko, who has to wear a shrine maiden outfit every day, could put on the clothes even with her eyes closed.

Excuses like "the light was too dim" or "I slipped" are all just that—excuses!

Besides, if she turns on the light now, will Richard still need to cover his eyes? If he doesn't, won't he be able to see more clearly with the light on?

Seeing that Lynette remained silent, Yae no Miko stopped teasing the little cat. The fox spirit simply sighed softly.

"Okay, I'll drive it myself."

As she spoke, Yae no Miko placed her hand on Richard's chest, and like a cat, she reached over Richard's body to reach for the bedside lamp on Richard's side.

Seeing that Yae no Miko was almost lying on Richard, especially since the other's round breasts were almost touching Richard's nose, Lynette immediately used her tail to block them apart without hesitation.

"Ugh... I can't breathe," Richard said at this moment.

"..." Lynette ignored Richard's words. She didn't even have the energy to speak. Just maintaining her rationality had taken up most of her mind.

If this continues...

"Click." That's the sound of the light being turned on.

This time, Yae no Miko didn't cause any more trouble. After returning, she quickly tidied her clothes, and Lynette breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Just as it was about to pull its tail back, Yae no Miko grabbed it with lightning speed.

"Eek!" Lynette froze, as if her life force had been squeezed, and she could no longer maintain her kneeling posture, instead collapsing into a duck-like slump.

While skillfully kneading Lynette's cat tail, Yae no Miko didn't forget to offer her evaluation.

"Your fur is soft and shiny, it's clear you take good care of it."

"Gurgle..." Lynette instinctively tried to snatch her tail back from the fox-shaped demon in front of her.

However, Yae no Miko simply used a little skill to directly crush the resistance that Lynette had just organized.

With her body limp, Lynette had no strength left to resist the pink demon. She could only watch helplessly as Yae no Miko played with the tail that even Richard had never touched. If this continued, Lynette felt like the string in her head was about to snap.

Just then, Richard seemed unable to bear it any longer and slapped Yae no Miko's hand away, saying, "Alright, don't go too far."

With her tail free, Lynette didn't have time to think. She immediately retreated, keeping her distance from Yae no Miko, while hiding her tail tightly behind her back, not intending to give Yae no Miko any further opportunity.

"It was just a little joke, just touching a tail. I have a tail myself, want to touch it?" As she spoke, five fluffy tails emerged from under Yae no Miko's shrine maiden attire.

"We've already lost in terms of numbers," Linette thought to herself as she looked at Yae no Miko's pink tail.

Besides the quantity, Lynette also noticed that Yae no Miko's tail was exceptionally well-maintained, even better than hers!

I don't know what brand of hair care products they used, but not only is the color beautiful, the fur is also very fluffy, and it looks like it would be very nice to touch.

"Okay." Richard seemed to want to help Lynette get back at him, or perhaps he himself had wanted to touch her for a long time.

Before Yae no Miko could react, she felt Richard grab her tail, and it was too late to pull it back.

"Wait for you!"

Our Lady of the Palace clearly didn't expect Richard to act so quickly. He sat up in bed and reached out to grab her tail in the blink of an eye. His reaction was so fast that even she didn't see Richard's movements clearly before he had already grabbed her tail.

Almost the same scene unfolded, and Yae no Miko's reaction was even more intense than Lynette's.

After all, Lynette's tail was only pinched by Yae no Miko, who was also a woman, but Yae no Miko's tail was pinched by a man, and a man she liked, and it was the first time her tail had been pinched in human form.

During the time Richard was still with Inazuma a hundred years ago, he did touch Yae no Miko's tail, but those were all sneak attacks when Yae no Miko reverted to her original form, and each time it was accompanied by one or even several teeth marks.

This was the first time Richard had ever succeeded in having his tail grabbed in human form like this. In the past, the Eighth Goddess always hid her tail tightly, and no matter how much Richard tried to persuade her, she would never reveal it.

Perhaps it's because there's a 'competitor' now that I'm thinking of offering up my tail, but it's just a verbal sacrifice, not a real intention for Lynette or Richard to touch.

But as the saying goes, "He who walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet," and what goes around comes around. Once caught red-handed, Yae no Miko, like Lynette, softened down.

Unlike Lynette, Yae no Miko has five tails. Even if Richard grabs one with each hand, he can only catch two. The remaining three tails are wagging wildly like a puppy wagging its tail, constantly slapping Richard's arm, seemingly trying to rescue the 'sisters' he is holding hostage.

"Linette, would you like to give it a try?" Richard asked, noticing that Linette seemed still shaken from the shock of having her tail grabbed.

“Yes!” Lynette said immediately. Cats are vengeful creatures, especially since this 'grudge' was just formed.

"W-what are you going to do?" Yae Shinko was terrified, her face paling as she saw Richard not only come alone but also call his accomplices to play with her.

Before Lynette could get close, she suddenly transformed back into a pink fox with a 'bang'. Because of her shrunken size, she easily broke free from Richard's grasp and landed with a kick, slapping Richard across the face.

Those heartless cats, the new generation of cats has surpassed the old foxes, they actually ganged up to bully her!

Richard finally managed to remove Yae no Miko from his face, and looking at the bewildered Lynette beside him, he asked, "What do you say?"

“I…” Lynette glanced at the pink-haired little fox who seemed determined not to leave. She had a feeling that if Richard really went back to his room obediently, then by tomorrow morning, Richard might be guaranteed to stay but not to stay.

"My bed is broken, can I stay here for the night?" Lynette said seriously. Whether you believe it or not, I believe it.

Yae no Miko, who had transformed into a pink-haired little fox, was still tugging at Richard's hand. Upon hearing Lynette's words, she stopped and looked at Lynette with a strange expression: "Isn't your reason a bit too far-fetched?"

Mind your own business! Why don't you just say that you, a fox spirit with five hundred years of cultivation, are afraid to walk at night?

To be honest, this was the first time Lynette had ever seen such a human-like expression on a fox's face. In addition, even though Yae no Miko had turned into a little fox, her looks were still top-notch in the fox world. So even though she knew that the other party was a love rival, Lynette still couldn't help but want to touch this fluffy little fox.

Women naturally have a special fondness for such furry creatures, not to mention a cute pink character like Yae no Miko. You know, she was once able to capture Kage in her fox form.

Incidentally, although Lynette is a catgirl, she only has some cat-like characteristics, which are inherent to her bloodline. She is different from fox spirits like Yae no Miko and cannot actually turn into a cat.

However, Lynette realized that she couldn't win an argument with Yae no Miko, so she simply placed the pillow next to Richard.

She glanced at Yae no Miko, who was still lying on Richard's chest, and without saying anything, she reached out and picked her up, placing her on her own pillow. Then she herself rested her head on Richard's pillow.

Yae no Miko: So this pillow was prepared for me?

Lynette lay flat next to Richard, unaware of Yae no Miko's expression, or if she had, she would have pretended not to see it.

This pillow was originally prepared for her, but who knew that a fox spirit would suddenly appear out of nowhere? So, it's only natural to adapt to the situation, right?

reasonable.

Surprisingly, Yae no Miko didn't continue causing trouble. Instead, she obediently lay down on Lynette's pillow and closed her eyes.

Anyway, Yae no Miko has figured it out: Lynette is essentially a pushover. Even if she shares a bed with Richard, she wouldn't dare to do anything. She's probably nervous right now.

But with her around, there was no way she could do anything to Richard, so she might as well just go to sleep.

As Yae no Miko had predicted, although Lynette shared a pillow with Richard, she was too nervous to move at all, her whole body sandwiched between Yae no Miko and Richard like a piece of wood.

Can't sleep, can't sleep at all.

Lynette thought she could sleep peacefully next to Richard, but when she actually lay down next to him, she realized she was wrong, terribly wrong.

Her heart was pounding, and her thoughts were racing. Coupled with what happened with the tail earlier, she realized after calming down that she seemed to still have water elemental energy on her...

Volume 1: Chapter 136 Washing the Sheets

The next morning, the sky was foggy, the windows were damp with mist, making it difficult for people inside to see outside. There were only a few pedestrians on the street, and the whole city of Inazuma seemed to be shrouded in desolation as winter approached.

In Richard's room, Lynette lay on the bed, the soft blankets keeping her warm while also concealing her slender figure.

The furniture and facilities in the residences provided for senior officials at the embassy in Fontainebleau are all made to the highest standards. From mattresses to duvet covers, they are all high-end products that can be bought on the market or even not available elsewhere, so the sleeping experience is naturally excellent.

However, Lynette did not feel that way. Her beautiful sleeping face revealed a hint of pain. In her drowsy state, she seemed to see mountains pressing down on her, and the indescribable sense of oppression made her feel like she couldn't breathe.

No, this isn't just a feeling, it's a real difficulty breathing!

Lynette felt as if something was covering her mouth and nose, and she instinctively raised her hand to try to remove the mountain pressing down on her face.

However, as soon as she touched it, Lynette felt something was wrong. It was soft, too soft, like cotton, only more resilient and bouncy. It could be easily kneaded into various shapes, but could quickly return to its original shape.

When Lynette opened her eyes, she found them covered by a huge, semi-circular object, and could only vaguely see pink hair.

So big... Can she even see her toes when she looks down?

A thought suddenly popped into Lynette's mind, and then she heard a familiar female voice beside her: "Is this what people often call a cat kneading?"

Lynette: !!!

Seeing Lynette suddenly shift back several steps, Yae no Miko chuckled and said, "Good morning, little kitty."

"what are you doing?"

"Oh dear, what's with your reaction? You know I was the one who got taken advantage of just now. Your restless hands are just as good as Richard's."

At this moment, Yae no Miko was languid, lying on her side, her words full of teasing.

It seems more like Lynette was the one who was taken advantage of, rather than the other way around.

When Lynette heard the first half of the sentence, she thought that the Yae no Miko was teasing her again, but after hearing the second half, she realized that he was actually showing off!

Based on what Yae no Miko said, it seems that Richard also tried to lay a hand on her...

"I was asleep, and besides, why were you so close to me?" Although Lynette was very concerned about what Yae no Miko had said about Richard, she knew that if she asked directly now, she would probably be playing right into the other party's hands.

"Then it's still my fault." Yae no Miko didn't feel sorry that Lynette hadn't fallen for the trick. Anyway, she was just idling around, and it wouldn't hurt to say something to make the other person look bad.

For Yae no Miko, she was the first person to meet Richard; even her best friend Kage was a later acquaintance, so…

She was the one who arrived first, so why did things turn out this way?

"Where is Richard?" Lynette naturally didn't know about Yae no Miko's inner thoughts, and even if she did, she wouldn't just hand Richard over to someone else.

For Yae no Miko, Richard was her first love, the beautiful memory of her teenage years. But wasn't it the same for Lynette?

When Lynette was imprisoned, deceived, betrayed, and abandoned, it was Richard who saved her and gave her and her brother a new life.
