Alice nuzzled onto Momo's fluffy tail while the two were in bed. The fox girl placed her long, fuzzy and fluffy tail between her and Alice so the latter could use it as a pillow.

By now, Momo had accepted that her tail really was going to be Alice's pillow from here on, and it looked like Alice would be fast asleep till tomorrow morning since she hasn't had any sleep for six days in a row.

The fox girl had no complaints about it. It's the seventh day of the week after all, and most of the villagers took a day off.

Momo treasured this bonding moment with Alice whenever they had the opportunity.

It's been three years since Momo lived together with Alice due to her duty as the Head Production Manager in Alice’s company as she found it quite inconvenient to get to work from her house to Alice’s workshop every morning. Fortunately, Catharina allowed the fox girl to stay while also taking care of Alice’s necessities in her stead.

Before she knew it, Momo had begun to harbor a feeling for Alice. Likewise, the little demoness also developed a strong bond and fondness towards the fox girl.

One day, Alice took a huge risk by telling Momo about her nature as a full-packaged futanari.

However, Momo accepted her with open arms. She told Alice that having two genders at the same time or changing one gender to another was not that rare in the world of Demi-human. For instance, a merman would turn into a mermaid or vice versa as they become an adult depending on what they consume during their growth.

Momo was still inexperienced in romantic relationships, she just turned 18 years old a few months ago. And Alice didn't want to commit to any relationship just yet. She let everything go naturally with the flow.

But it's undeniable that affection and admiration had stemmed between them, not in a romantic way just yet, but it's enough to make them inseparable.

“Fuaaaahhh… Your tail is so smooth and soft. So warm. I wanna marry your tail someday, fufufu.” Alice giggled cutely.

“Just my tail?” Momo smiled impishly.

“Well, sorry to disappoint you, Momo. But I still have some growing to do. As soon as I have completed the coming-of-age ceremony, I’ll…”

Momo chuckled, changing the topic by putting Alice’s face deep into her fluffy tail. “Just kidding, fufu… Now sleep. I mean it!”

Alice nuzzled her face deeper, she could even feel Momo’s breasts’ shape through the fur. Just within a minute or so, Alice slowly drifted away and went to the limbo.

The following morning, Alice slowly awakened, her eyes were still too sticky, it's impossible to open while still regaining consciousness. She could feel a warm, smooth, and supple mound on her palm.

‘Wait, hold up, wait a minute. Something's ain't right… Why is the texture on my palm very familiar?”

“Ahn~” Momo moaned softly.

Alice jolted awake and found herself on top of Alice’s breast. She jumped away from Momo like a cat got water splashed.

“I’m so sorry! I don't mean to…”

“Alice, you little perv, fufufu. Shame, it ended too soon. I haven't yet…”

“What do you mean too soon?” Alice actually knew what Momo was going to say. But she played innocent instead.

“Nevermind. Let us clean ourselves, and head to Lady Hanako’s place.”

Alice smiled wryly. “Sure. That's a good idea… ehehe.”

Aside from building a big store for the beastkind’s products, Alice has also built a public bathhouse for them. Sanitation was paramount even though they now lived in a cold region.

Once they took care of the morning routines, the two headed west, into the Beastkind temporary camp.

Some of the beast folks who could adapt with the cold climate decided to build permanent housings and register themselves as villagers of Tusa Village. Well the other beastkinds who couldn't cope with the cold climate opted to find a new opportunity in Arlenheim where the weather was warmer in general.

Momo escorted the young demoness to a small herb store in the street’s corner. Alice’s widened, the shop’s building was familiar with a Japanese house from her previous life.

The pungent smell of various herb plants invaded Alice’s sensitive nose. She sneezed quietly, holding it with both hands.

“Are you alright?” Momo offered a handkerchief. “Here, use this.”

“Mm, I’m good, thanks.” Alice covered her nose with it. “I’m surprised that you can handle the scent.”

“Well, Lady Hanako was my mentor in medicine and potion making after all. So, I'm already used to it.”

Alice raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Momo's past. “Oh? That’s news for me.”

Before Alice could ask the details of Momo’s childhood, a voice resounded from the adjacent room.

“Tamamo? Is that you?”

“Yes, it's me.” Momo replied. There’s only a few individuals who could use her birth name so casually. “I am profoundly sorry for the unannounced visits, but may I ask you a favor?”

Not long after, a beautiful lady wearing a red kimono with cherry blossom pattern strode out from the adjacent room. Alice’s breath was taken away. She had been dreaming of seeing a woman with cat ears. And Lady Hanako exceeded her expectations by leaps and bounds.

Lady Hanako’s long white hair flowed freely on both sides of her shoulders. Contrasting the bright red fabric of her kimono. Her bangs were trimmed straight just above her eyebrows, framing her triangular pretty face perfectly.

She was quite tall, around six feet tall if the Geta sandals were included to her height.

Alice could see a sigil on Lady Hanako’s forehead peeking through the gap of her bangs, it resembled that of cherry blossom petals.

The matured cat woman glanced at the young succubus, intrigued by the duality of her aura. As an In-Yo practitioner, Hanako could sense or even see someone’s aura. In Alice’s case, she could see both Yin and Yang inhabit her body.

“Oh, if it isn't Andariel’s daughter herself? Good morning, Young Lady.” Lady Hanako smiled softly. The way she spoke was so soothing and eloquent, Alice could get back to sleep while listening to her voice.

Alice bowed respectfully. “My name is Alice, nice to meet you, Lady Hanako. And… I deeply apologize for the unannounced visit, hehe.”

“You are most welcome, child.” Lady Hanako said. “Well, let us get inside first.”
