“Thank you. I can not leave just yet, but please give your sect master my thanks.” Haruhi smiled and cupped her hands.

“We will. If you need anything, send someone to the town at the entrance; we will be staying there for the time being.” Finland bowed and cupped his hands, bidding Haruhi goodbye. 

After Finland left, Haruhi felt it was quite amazing. She did not know how it happened, but it seemed her junior sister had taken care of things on the other continent. “Little sect master?” One of the elders looked at the bright smile on Haruhi’s face in confusion. They began to wonder if she had fallen for that Finland kid.

“The lives of those lost were avenged by Junior Sister Yuki. We need to host a celebration tonight!.” Haruhi couldn’t wait to tell the rest of the disciples. She got up and ran out of the immortal cave. 

The elders who were sitting with her all looked at each other and smiled. “Little Sect Master is right. It is time for a celebration!”

“Delia, are you sure this is the right way?” Up in the sky, Yuki, her sect master, and Delia were all sitting on a flying boat staring out across the ocean. It had been a week since they left the sect. 

“It should be?” Delia pursed her lips. She could have sworn it was in this direction.

“Why did you say that as a question!?” Yuki sighed. “I hope the girls are okay. I want to see Nana, Silvia, and Selene….”

    “Why do I feel you just want to taste them?” Delia asked with a teasing grin.

    “What is wrong with wanting to taste my wives!?” Yuki did not understand. They were her wives. She could taste them all she wanted!

“I should remind you that Selene is just a friend.” Delia corrected. This caused Yuki to purse her lips as she said: “It’s only a matter of time. I want a fluff of my own!”

“You have nine tails!” Delia, who normally had no idea what was left or right, seemed to only have some sense when it came to these kinds of matters.

“My tails and Selene’s tail are different. I want Selene’s fluff! I want to fluff a tail that is not my own!” Yuki argued.

“Okay… I understand. The little wolf is indeed cute. You should pin her down and make her yours.” Delia had no issues with Selene. She just liked picking on her.

“MMm… I might just do that. I promised all the girls I would give them a few days all alone, so we will need to draw straws when we get there.” Yuki wondered what kind of face Selene would make in bed.

“Umm…. You need to go west to get to the mainland. We are heading north.” Yuki’s sect master made both girls freeze. Yuki looked at Delia, who quickly turned away and began whistling.

“Delia, you are no longer in charge of flying!  Let sect master steer!” Yuki yelled. She couldn’t believe they had been going the wrong way this entire time!

Sure enough with the sect master steering the flying boat, they arrived at the mainland a few days later. What should have been only a few day trips turned into a two-week excursion.

“Finally land!” Yuki stretched her legs and arms as she stepped off the flying boat and looked at the town in front of her. Many people were staring at them as if they had seen some kind of crazy show. “Hmm? Have these people never seen a fox girl before?”

“I think it is because your aura is the issue. Yuki, conceal your aura a bit better.” The sect master noticed that Yuki was always leaking out a bit of spiritual pressure.

“I already am!” Yuki pouted there was nothing she could do. No matter how much she tried, she could not hide all of it.

    “It’s actually better this way.” Delia suddenly said. “It will keep the weaker people away from us. This way, we do not need to deal with any idiots who think just because we look young, we are easy targets.”

“Even if that was the case, I am sure there will still be idiots.” Yuki would never doubt the stupidity of man or woman. No matter the race, there was always a few stupid people.

“That is very true.” Delia and Yuki’s sect master both nodded their heads agreeing to Yuki’s words.

The group walked into the town under the gazes of others and made their way to a restaurant. As soon as they entered, a waiter quickly walked over and asked: “With you like a table or a private room?”

“A table is fine. We only came to get a quick bite to eat.” Yuki replied with a smile. This seemed to shock the waiter, but they quickly composed themselves and said: “This way, please.”

Yuki and her group were led to a table by the window on the second floor. They sat down and looked out over the railing down at the passing crowds below. “It looks quite festive.”

“They are holding the yearly Autumn Festival.” The waiter kindly informed.

“Oh?” Yuki turned and looked at the waiter. “Will there be many activities later?”

The waiter smiled, seeing the child-like excitement from Yuki, and nodded his head. “Yes, there will be many food stalls and games. It is something our town has done for generations.”
