Mesugaki Tank Enters The Academy

As I step foot into the forest where the fool fox lives, a group of fairies suddenly popped out from the bushes and surrounded me.

The kids who had guided me up to this point ordered me to go away without making a sound. If they hadn't, I would have been overwhelmed by the fairies by now.

The fairies, complaining like they were being treated unfairly, were being watched with a pleased expression by Lucy, who was glaring at them with red eyes. I turned my head after seeing the smoke sitting next to me.

"As if you were waiting, you appeared," I said.

"This is the place I protect. When someone as conspicuous as you shows up, it's easy to spot you," she replied.

"Like a puppy waiting for its owner at home?" I asked.

"Not much different. Look, my tail is wagging uncontrollably," she said.

Despite being treated like a dog, the woman grinned as if she was happy, and I knew she was the very fool fox I had known.@@novelbin@@

"At this point, I would have preferred if you'd put a leash on me to show that I'm your pet," she teased.

"I’d rather abandon you in this forest," I retorted.

"Hmm, that would be difficult. Once a pet is adopted, you have to take responsibility for it," she replied.

"I have no memory of adopting you," I snapped back.

"What are you talking about! What about all the memories we've built together?" she exclaimed dramatically.

What memories could we have, really?

All I could remember was you charging at me like a pervert and me being terrified.

• "Apostles of the gods!"
• "Damn! We’ve been spotted!"
• "Run!"
• "Damn! Even here, the gods’ influence reaches!"
