9 Chapter 7.1 A Trip Back Home (1/2)

Now with the arrest of the group of immortals at their school

now over, Yui has decided to visit her foster family's home- The Takahashi's residence...

With the silver-haired protagonist opening the door and saying: ”I'm Home.” she has now returned from being away for a whole month.

”Y-Yui? Is that really you?” with her announcement that she had indeed returned home the really worried Takahashi Tada walked to the doorway entrance.

”Yes, Who else would it be, Dad.”

Tada hearing Yui now speaking like a modern day person thought: 'Where'd her accent go?' will a bewildered but worried face.

And with a tight embrace from her foster parent, she was warmly welcomed back home. ”It really is you, Yui... I was really worried. I thought something happened to you...”

With a awkward smile she thought: 'Something DID happen but I rather not tell you... Since it'll just trouble you...'

Hearing the commotion at the doorway of the house Yuko peeked her head out from the living room which was connected directly to the doorway. ”You finally came back, Yui...” She said with a teary voice.

Yuko approached as well and also gave a warm embrace relieved that their adopted daughter has come back home safely.”Thank goodness you're all right.”

The married couple not having any idea of the real identity of their foster child, Yui finally revealed that she wasn't a human but a immortal fox spirit that is a descendant of tamamo no mae.

”I-I thought that tail- Wait, You have five of them now?! ” With a surprised look on his face Tada still couldn't believe that Yui's fox-like characteristics were actually real and not just mere accessories.

”I can't believe that those ears are actually real... Not that I care ofcourse. You're still our daughter, after all.” Yuko stated with the look of realisation in her eyes.

'Now it makes sense why they attacked her village... It's actually because of the fact that she wasn't even a human being... And not just arson...' Hideo thought with him now all calmed down with a hand under his chin.

'Why is dad all quite all of a sudden?'

”Uh... Mom? Dad? I have some people or should I say other fox spirits that came with me... They're waiting outside...” Yui said awkwardly.

Yui opens the door and the couple saw the four fox girls of her team at the Earth's Immortal Management Division, all four were wearing the same kimono that they wore from when they were first introduced to Yui.

Turning her head to the door, Yuko's face turned from relieved to astonished at the sight of the fox spirits in front of their house. ”Oh my...”

Each bowed simultanously as they saw Yui's foster parents by the door and said: ”Sorry for the sudden visit.”

'I just hope they don't suddenly get frightened by them...' Yui thought still holding onto the door nob.

Tada who has now stopped thinking deeply had now also looked outside. ”They're friendly, right?” Tada inquired slightly wary at the sight of the four fox girls standing at the front of their house.

Yui gives him a nod in response to his just asked question.

Tada sighs in relief to her answer. ”That's good then... That actually scared me a little bit...”

Yuko then at that point of time invited the four inside their house...

Now with the whole group inside the living room of the house they are now drinking some refreshments that Tada had offered them...

Seated across the five fox girls was Tada's wife Yuko who has a friendly smile on her face. ”Where have been, Yui? Me and your father thought you got into some big trouble.”

Kuro who was about to answer Yui's foster mother was stopped by Yui who gave her a smile that said ”Don't mention anything about Immortal Management Division, ok?” which makes Kuro just keep herself quite, feeling a little freaked out.

Having trouble coming up with a answer Yui just muttered:”W-Well... Let's just say these four let me stay at their place.” While giving her foster parent a smile.

Meanwhile the other three that are beside Kuro are all just drinking their tea silently without saying anything.

With her foster mother still smiling at her Yui quickly diverts her eyes onto the coffee table in front of them instead. 'I really can't let them know about the Immortal Management Division...' her eyes now showing that she's nervous.

”Oh yeah, Do you four all live in a dormitory?” Yui's foster parent quickly changes the subject and averts her gaze from Yui to the other four girls with a smile still plastered on to her face.
