I woke up with 2 women in my tails. They seemed to be sleeping, so I couldn't go anywhere.

  This must be Giana's idea. She must have realized that I wanted to go out and wander around. She isn't alone now Yv is here. She either is opportunistic, wants to talk to me, or both. Nilah is a problem though…

  I stored Nilah in my dimensional pocket and took out my tablet. Time to see what's going on in the world! Adventure parties are still wiping on floor 2 of the Nightmare dungeon. They are getting walled by Cygnus.

  Oh what's this? A video that's used as a reference? Why is it marked as incomplete?

  The video showed the team of Giana, Vinny, Io, Toxic Donkey, Noelle and Yv taking on Boshi town. They then trivialized floor 2 as Giana had charmed Cygnus… overpowered vixen. It then showed floor 3 where Vinny soloed his stepfather and Noelle soloing the magma pit. The next part had a lot of water, but it seems that the recording crystals got damaged.

  That was all to the video, which was strange as there should have been 5 more recordings. 1 breaking shouldn't be an issue. The story goes that they got kicked out after but… I know for sure that they beat it. Probably did some stuff they didn't want the world to see, or to protect my identity as the last boss.

  So teams were bringing charm users to mimic Giana, but they all failed. Thinking they could copy vixens who rank 3rd in the most powerful charm-using races? These adventurers sure are cocky. It seems they won't beat floor 2 anytime soon.

  It has been officially confirmed that the idols have joined team Hourai. Rumors of everyone in team Hourai being near extinct races followed up on that.

  More strange creatures are popping up. Other creatures are destroying villages.

  The Silver Torrent role, still having only 4 members, was causing a ruckus again, especially after my stunt in Gavin which has been making the news.

  The fishermen who survived seemed to be keeping their mouths shut on me being a 9t though. My respect for fishermen keeps rising. They couldn't avoid talking about the enormous catch they returned with. A fisherman will always talk about fish so that was to be expected. At least they are doing well. I just hope they reclaim their city. I don't want to return there and find out that the mayor is a seagull, threatening parents with the babies they kidnapped.

  More adventurers are disappearing.

  The new races are fully being accepted and even getting their own city, which is nearing completion.

  Wait? What the fuck? I looked up more about this. Gittrian finished erecting enormous walls 3 weeks ago, and Yttroz Industries built a city capable of holding 700,000 people since then.

  Shouldn't there be a limit on how fast it's possible to build? They are expected to finish in 1 week… well, I guess I know where we're going after this. I haven't seen many of the new races, which is strange. They might still feel uncomfortable and keep to themselves, so maybe not unsurprising.

  There was more news, but this new city intrigued me, and Noelle might love taking a visit. But building a city, that's sure a nice gesture.

  Hey you two, stop pretending to sleep. Did you want to talk to me?

  “See, I told you that he would find out.”

  “So you sleep in these tails every night? I'm a bit envious.”

  Hey! My tails aren't an attraction!

  “So Yv and I chatted, and she wants to talk to Nilah as she can talk to animals.”

  Oh that's cool but… I don't know if Nilah is an animal.

  I took Nilah out of my dimensional pocket and held her as she was about to lunge at Giana.

  Yv got face-to-face with Nilah and did something. She seemed to go through various auras and stopped at a quite cold aura. “The cool beauty aura, you sure think you're a princess, eh?”

  The woman in front of me looked and sounded like Yv, but that was all. It made sense, but… her aura changed completely.

  “Oh is that so? Quite impolite, don't you think?” Yv faced me. “This spoiled princess requests more treats. It isn't up to me, but you might consider teaching her some manners.”

  I looked at Giana for an explanation. “Yv has matched Nilah's aura, how Yv acts now is a reflection of Nilah’s personality.”

  Nilah has the personality of a bitch? I thought hers was the same as mine! Wait do I act like that?

  “Oh no, Agnis, you don't, your aura is different. Nilah refuses to talk unless she gets treats. What a nuisance.”

  I reluctantly took out some sun-dried quail for Nilah. It got devoured in no time, and this treat pleased her.

  Hey Nilah can you be a bit more polite?

  “So, you have your treat, why do you treat my sister like that?”

  Nilah made the glacial eerie sounds.

  “You don't like how Agnis tends to make dangerous decisions around her?”

  Uhhm Nilah isn't that my fault and not hers?

  “Nilah doesn't seem to care.”

  The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

  Nilah continued the glacial eerie sounds, and it made Giana uncomfortable.

  “I see. Agnis, a question for you, do you mind if I continue this conversation? She stated that she knows everything you know.”

  Uh go for it. It doesn't work in reverse, so I’d like to know what she wants.

  Nilah became a chatterbox and made a wide array of strange and eerie sounds. I'm not this weird, am I?

  “That is your opinion.”

  Nilah ‘talked’ more.

  “Ehh, Yv? Translation please?”

  “Oh right. Basically, she's saying that Agnis is 1 of the 5 male 9t on the planet, and she thinks that you should treat him like a king, something that you don't, according to her. She also said that if she had the body of a vixen, she would kick your ass and take him for herself. To you Agnis…” Yv turned to me. “She says that she's both a part of you and not. She started out like that originally, but that changed after she merged with the sword. She is grateful for how you treat her, so good things are coming out of this fox”

  Hey come on Nilah do you have to be so cold? Is there anything, within reason, that I can do for you to treat her well?

  I recognized her behavior, she requested more cuddles, and she made some less eerie sounds.

  “She wants you to give Giana and me the test you were planning on. She is happy that you came up with such a harsh test.”

  Why is my pet such a bitch…

  “She seems to care for you and nobody else. She remembers the times you tried to let her escape when you were near death, and she will never forget that.”

  I gave her more treats and cuddles.

  Is that right? We've been through a lot, eh?

  Yv got up. “She is a bit impolite, but I got a good gist of her feelings. I’m sorry Giana, but I think I resonate with her.” Yv's aura slowly turned back to normal. “They have been through life and death situations, and she wants to make sure that you will be able to do what they both are willing to do in that situation.”

  I understand Nilah, but Giana already did that.

  Nilah didn't seem convinced, and neither did Yv and Giana.

  “Deca, I think I understand. To be honest… That situation was mostly my fault… I put you in that situation even though you kept telling us it wouldn't work. If I were in Nilah’s place… I'd be upset… maybe even insulted…” Giana approached Nilah. “I apologized to Agnis, but I didn't apologize to you. I’m sorry.”

  Nilah exhaled cold air and dropped her aggression towards Giana.

  Ugh this team is such a pain in the ass. Any of you want to become the new leader?

  “No, thanks.”

  “I prefer it when you are in control, Deca.”

  Truly a pain in the ass…

  I made breakfast and got chewed out by Giana for using the cauldron again. I had no choice as she had left the kitchen looking like a warzone. My clones cleaned up while I baked a pizza in the cauldron. I’m a master of fire, so that's a simple task.

  “Why is this pizza shaped weird? And pizza for breakfast?” Giana complained.

  Well, this is the only shape a cauldron allows for…

  “Then use the oven…”

  It looks like you made a cheesebomb explode in there.. My clones are struggling to clean it…

  The cauldron-shaped pizza tasted good, despite the objections about how and where it was made.

  “How did you get the residue of the potions out so fast?” Giana asked while inspecting the crust.

  I used a fake cauldron!

  “Couldn't you just use a fake oven then?”

  Correct, but we wouldn't be having this conversation if I did.

  It made Yv laugh and Giana confused.

  Well I assume you have some stuff to wrap up, Deca here still needs some tutoring, hehe.

  “There is not much to wrap up… what are you teaching her?”

  Reading and manipulating mana runes and anything related to them also seems to make her faster.

  “Huh? How?” Yv looked over at Giana, who seemed uncomfortable.

  “Uhhm, just some exercise in between, haha!” Giana said as she let out a nervous laugh.

  “Can I join?” Yv asked out of curiosity.

  Uhh, I don’t want you to hate me.

  “Agnis… what are you doing to Giana…”

  Being a good Deca and being toxic?

  “Ok Yv, it sounds bad, but it feels good afterward!” Giana explained how I tutor her.

  “I think I will pass… have fun!” Yv left for the door and her disguise reappeared. “Oohh… do I need to be a Misha when I go outside?”

  Giana and I nodded and Yv left as Silk Rabbitfoot.

  Well then, we have a week to wrap up. We probably won't have any time for this afterward. Are you ready, Deca?

  “How about this? Give me everything in the next 3 days. I want to savor you.” Giana transformed and looked more like a predator instead of the prey.

  We need something special for that, then. Nilah, we’re using [Hattrick]!

  9 glacial swords appeared next to me, and the scene cracked, producing [Illusionary Daggers].

  Let’s see how good you’ve become at running and dodging.
