Each of them sat on their own couch while the Demonic Saint sat on the ground.

"Slept well?" The Demonic Saintess chose that room for Aiko since it was very luxurious and would allow her to sleep well.

Aiko was startled for a moment. 'Wait, I slept normally and without needing tails!' This needed to be investigated at a later date since it would allow Aiko to be outside and sleep without bringing others out.

That way, her stealth wouldn't be broken, and she would be able to do some stealth sleeping~!

"It was a pleasant rest." Aiko smiled happily. She didn't know why the Demonic Saintess was so enthusiastic about it, but she was happy about it.

"Good. I have prepared more Table Maps, among other things, that you can use later. We have gathered everyone here to see what we could do with it later." The Demonic Saintess smiled happily. There were around 400 Foxes waiting for her command.

Aiko nodded slowly. If she had more Communication Stones, she would be able to expand the map much more quickly.

This, in turn, would allow her to gather more materials through the map, and she wouldn't even need to go out!

'I still want to explore this place myself, so she would like to use the map and that would be her cue to leave and explore.' Aiko nodded to herself before turning towards the Demonic Saintess.

"Thank you. I will work on it soon." Aiko nibbled another piece of cold melon. The juices nicely spread within her mouth as a gentle scent caressed her nostrils.

It was fresh and delicious, making Aiko salivate. She was even comparing it to meat inside her mind!

"I'm glad you are enjoying yourself." The Demonic Saintess smiled happily. She was already used to her Foxes' expressions, so it would've been a pity if Aiko was the same.

Fortunately, Aiko was very expressive with her likes due to her black hair.

'I wonder what's up with that...' The Demonic Saintess felt that it was similar to how Demonic Foxes would be when they were taken over by the voices.

Fortunately, this place was without them, which allowed her and her companions to stay sane and mostly dominate this place.

'It was a good idea to stay in this place. We might've lost our home, but we gained the freedom we wanted...' The Demonic Saintess was quite melancholic now that she gazed at an 'outsider'.

"It's delicious. It's impossible for me not to feel happy." The Nightmare Aiko always liked to try out new things, as long as it was not anything with too much information.

This fruit was the best. She just had to pick it up and stuff it into her mouth. Short and simple!

...

Aiko finished the melon while her companions massaged her shoulders and legs.

The Demonic Saintess was in a similar situation, sighing happily.

"Did you create these plans?" Aiko narrowed her eyes and trained them on her.

"No. It was your group's idea, and I just went along with it." The Demonic Saintess chuckled at Aiko who was looking at her suspiciously. "I'm telling the truth. I would cosy you up in a different way."

"What? You would smother me with your boobs?" Aiko rolled her eyes. The closer she looked, the harder it was to identify the Demonic Saintess.

The same could be said for a few other Foxes. Especially the Demonic Saint.

"Perhaps..." The Demonic Saintess licked her lips. Aiko was quite pretty, so she wouldn't mind mingling with her.

"I will pass." Aiko didn't know how the Demonic Saintess looked, so she would rather avoid mingling with some kind of old granny.

'I know Foxes are beautiful no matter the age, but I'm not risking it!' Aiko puffed her cheeks.

"Don't play too cute, or I might eat you up~" The Demonic Saintess giggled as Aiko puffed her cheeks even more.

"Stop trying to tease me, sister. It won't work!" Aiko teased the Demonic Saintess back.

At first, the Demonic Saintess choked, but then she shot back. "Then you should listen to this senior sister~."

"Only if her ideas are good." Aiko shot even more, making the Demonic Saintess wonder if this was her true personality.

"What?" Aiko tilted her head when she noticed a questioning gaze on her.

"Nothing..." The Demonic Saintess would just keep observing her to get to her own decision instead of relying on questions.

"I plan to go through all the Table Maps and see if any could be used." Aiko suddenly said and then explained more about her plan. "We will then sort them out by working, possibly working, and definitely not working."

"The definitely not working will be used to repair the possibly working, so they can be added to the working group." Nightmare Aiko hummed happily. The more Table Maps she would have, the better everything about it would be.

"Do you think you can fix them?" The Demonic Saintess raised her eyebrow.

"I don't know, but considering you haven't done anything with them yet means you can't fix them." Nightmare Aiko explained her reasoning. So it would be accepted by the other Foxes. "While complete fixing might not be possible in a lot of cases, that doesn't mean we can't just patch it up for the time being and keep patching it up until it's ruined. It's not like we will lose anything since you weren't using it to begin with."

"... I supposed." The Demonic Saintess was not too happy about it since those were precious Relics, not to mention she was also a hoarder who didn't want to lose or use too many things.

As such, her Treasure trove was quite significant!

"What? You should say something if you don't like it." Aiko clicked her tongue. She didn't really like Foxes that wouldn't say their piece.

"Even if I say it, it's not like you will stop." The Demonic Saintess didn't want to admit that she was looking forward to what Aiko would create.

Aiko had already scratched her ego by how absurd she was, so the Demonic Saintess just couldn't let it go on.

"No. If you told me to leave it. I would just find another thing to do." Aiko shrugged, but she really liked those Table Maps.

"And that's the problem. I dread what you would do if you didn't occupy yourself." The Demonic Saintess sighed softly.

"Hey, as a senior sister, you are supposed to indulge your junior!" Aiko pouted at her.

"Since when was that a rule?" The Demonic Saintess was flabbergasted by Aiko.

"Since now." Aiko chuckled mischievously.

"Seriously... why do juniors always cause headaches." The Demonic Saintess shook her head but laughed right after.

"Why are seniors always uptight..." Aiko shook her head back.

"Hey!" The Demonic Saintess glared at Aiko.

"Oi!" Aiko glared back, and then both laughed happily.

"But seriously, why can't I see 'you'?" Aiko tilted her head, still unable to figure that out.

"It's a special Technique that we have found in this Sacred Realm. It allows one to conceal their beauty, and once mastered, their whole body. You can also adjust the effects when mastered, so it's quite handy." The Demonic Saintess always loved this Technique since it made negotiations with Humans much easier.

"How much for that Technique?" Aiko quite liked the sound of that Technique, but the true worth would be uncovered by Moon Aiko.

"You will have to work harder if you want this Technique." The Saintess snorted unhappily.

Aiko's toes curled from the foot massage. "I can do that, but you have to wait first."

"Enjoying much?" The Demonic Saintess giggled mischievously.

"Honestly. I'm surprised how skilled they are." Aiko never knew how skilled her team was.

"I'm quite doubtful, too..." The Demonic Saintess saw their skill, but without any kind of help, it was unlikely for Demonic Foxes to reach it so abruptly.

In other words, those Demonic Foxes found some kind of sacred texts that would allow them to study massages and pressure points.

'I'm kind of jealous...' It took many years and painful back pains for her companions to learn it. Yet Aiko had immediately the best service, which was another great blow for the Demonic Saintess.

"Don't be like that. My group is just that smart." Aiko chuckled and teased her more.

"Yeah, yeah." The Demonic Saintess rolled her eyes again. It was quite some time since she met yet another shameless Fox.

The last time would be her sister who tried to dissuade her from dating Humans.

"When do you intend to start?" The Demonic Fox felt the need to relieve her frustration with her hubby.

Of course, she would be at the top again.

"I'm not sure. This is too nice to pass on, and I do feel quite sleepy again." Aiko yawned cutely.

"Then rest here or in your room. I will finish things on my end." The Demonic Saintess smiled as she dragged her hubby away.

Aiko blinked a few times before smirking. 'Was that why he walked like that~?' She was somewhat satisfied with that kind of punishment.

...

Aiko rested while she was being doted on by the Demonic Foxes.

"Now that I think about it. Where did you learn those things?" Aiko tilted her head.

"There were 'books' floating around, so we just read them." Yu explained how they got so skilled.

"Books..." Aiko paused to think about it, but her body soon stiffened.

"B-books? You read them?!" Aiko's soul almost jumped out of her body.

"There is not much we can do inside your tails, so we use that time to familiarise ourselves with the knowledge we find inside." Yu smiled, but Aiko was becoming more and more flustered.

"N-no more reading for you!" Nightmare Aiko believed that Moon Aiko would be teased because of it, and she didn't like that.

"It's fine. We have not read any sensitive books." Yu giggled as she teased the cute Aiko.

Aiko's face was flushed. She was embarrassed that they were able to read those books. It made Aiko more conscious about them than she was before!

'Maybe I should read them soon, just in case something bad is inside?" Nightmare Aiko, who didn't like too much information, now suddenly considered reading books.

It felt like there would be a meteor shower soon. That's how abnormal the situation was.

"There were books about the body and tails, so we will do our best to serve you." Yu smiled happily. She was quite far away when it came to service compared to the Blood Fox, but unlike her, she was more willing to openly serve Aiko without any regrets.

Yu didn't know that the Blood Fox made a blunder and was too embarrassed to get close to Aiko again, and that's why she was so passive in her approach...
