Chapter 128: I'll kill you myself
"Soul Weapons… Did they achieve it?" Louise flatly asked, not wanting to pour any emotions into that concept.
And when master nodded, Louise's heart clenched as though another part of her memories suddenly appeared in her mind, giving her a glimpse of the massacre that had happened. Even without these, Louise could imagine what dwarves and their allies had done to her race.
Leon knew about it from the dwarf's monster card.
Because of Amaterasu's talent and the skills she passed to her race, the scarlet foxes had flames that easily extended toward people's souls, melting them. Even by the Freya World's standards, that process was cruel and atrocious. Amaterasu rarely used that concept, and her most popular feat was enslaving humans in her suns to torment them.
However, no one was like Amaterasu. No scarlet fox could easily summon these flames to assault or threaten others, so Amaterasu left the raw flames that her race buried deep underground, below The Scarlet Fox's Main Shrine. The most important and oldest scarlet foxes knew about that fire's existence — it was their trump card.
It was a mystery how dwarves caught the wind of its existence. For sure, no common scarlet fox's fire could be used for their blacksmithing, so they wouldn't have done a massacre if it weren't for definite proof of those flames' existence.
Furthermore, it was clear that there was a traitor in the foxes' ranks, for the dwarves used the dead bodies of scarlet foxes to increase the flames' capacity and might.
"The dwarf I caught didn't have clear information. He was too young and from a newer generation. It's been a while since that happened, and I fear that… Soul Weapons are pretty popular worldwide, with the Dark Guilds using them without caring about their origins." Leon explained while tending to Louise's shivering body.
She soon stopped trembling and shook her head. "It's the past… I'll learn what exactly happened when my next memories return… I don't want to think about it anymore, Master."
"Understood." Leon patted Louise's back and lent her his chest to lie on.
The duo once again forgot about the time.
"Do you remember what happened to you when you entered me?" Leon asked after some time, unable to hide his curiosity.
Louise squeezed her brain for more information but failed to provide a satisfying clue to her master. "I can't remember much… But…." Louise's expression brightened, and she brightly smiled. "It's all in my heart, Master. That's what I thought before, and I'm more inclined to believe in it — my heart holds all answers. Look, Master…" Louise grasped her master's wrist, and before he could do anything, she put his hand on her big breast. "It's telling me that you're my sun."
Leon couldn't stop himself from squeezing that round and soft melon. "It does."
With her face shining like a sunset, for Louise did her best to stifle her moan, Louise threw him a peculiar bashful glance.
Leon also understood that he couldn't keep his girls waiting for too long.
Celes had given him that clue and now did Louise.
The next days with them by his side would severely impact his decision.
"Should we head back?"
"Yes, Master."

Alexandra checked on her kitties and her master's sleeping bag, heeding her maid duties. On the other hand, her mistress, the vampiress, toyed with the black skull in her hands. But it was nothing more than playing around with that item and making it seem like she was actually studying it, for Celes' little head was full of different thoughts.
'Louise's memories returned on her own… She's a legend that even tricked The Human Emperor.' Celes inwardly thought, feeling both wary and proud of the adorable fox.
The Human Emperor's every loss pleased her. Louise's strength and legendary grade weren't a surprise, but Celes felt like there was more to it, and she didn't know how her relationship with the fox girl would progress from now on. It was clear that Louise's memories returned, at least part of them.
Could Celes be able to call Louise her little sister and tease that girl like usual? Things were bound to change.
'To sacrifice herself, even with the skill to return in mind, she must have really fallen for master… But so I have…' Celes didn't think her feelings paled compared to Louise's burning heart, and she believed she loved him more. It was normal to be like that in a harem relationship. 'I can't leave everything to master….'
The vampiress knew that Leon would soon keep a close eye on her and Louise, looking through their relationship and whether these two were suitable to live together. Although he can't demand them to become like sisters or suddenly turn bisexual to accept each other in the harem, the vampiress and fox's relationship will decide whether Leon will soon cross the line or think of something else.
It was important to keep in mind that Leon still didn't have a proper view of the harem, and his 'outline of happiness' simply had two adorable sketches inside.
At last, Leon and Louise returned to their camp.
Celes' eyes shone red as though kindled by fire in her hues. Those seemed like two red moons. The dragon maid next to her narrowed her violet hues and worriedly counted Louise's steps toward them.
"We're back. It took us some time, but we're fine." Leon spoke first, pointing out at his clothes and blood stains.
Celes lazed in her chair. She unconsciously sat down like a queen with her little head resting on her right hand. On her left, she held a booze, so it wasn't exactly like Veronica's pose, but it was pretty close.
With that combination of her laziness and sharp aura, Celes smirked. "You returned to us and already wanted to snatch away master for a whole night? Take a sleeping bag next time, Louise. If you don't own one, I'll lend it to you."
Louise hovered her blue eyes on the vampiress, who had already sealed her lips with a liquor bottle. Because of her experience and hundred years of memories back, Louise perfectly read between the lines and knew that Celes hadn't thought that she wanted to steal away master for a life or more.
The vampiress' casual yet authoritative mood swathing her sexy curves melting into that chair also told Louise that Celes wouldn't allow for such a thing to happen. At most, Louise would be able to take her master for some time, but not too far away and a long time.
Understanding that you can't always be with your love was a must in a harem relationship.
Louise knew that, too.
She had seen many harems in her life. And she showcased her experience as her adorable baby face flashed with maturity and her blue eyes narrowed with a hint of coldness and sharpness.
"I'm self-sufficient. I can wrap myself and master in my tails and sleep just fine. I got a new one because hundred years of my memories returned to me. Thanks for the offer, though. I'll keep that in mind, Celes. It's been a while since I cuddled with the master, so I hope you will be on a watch tonight." Louise smirked and cutely smiled at the vampiress.
"I'll be." Celes didn't hide her displeasure but was content with them not trying to pointlessly fight with each other for Leon's affection. Knowing him, these two understood that it would be counter-productive, and Leon also was a man who would equally share his warmth with his beloveds.
Since Celes had tons of it, it was Louise's time to make it equal.
Celes didn't agree with that. She stood up and walked to the adorable fox, only to tightly embrace her. It was a sisterly hug that Louise had never felt in her life. And while Celes felt glad that Louise was back, she also said to her that she should never again sacrifice herself, for Leon's depressed self hurt her too much.
Hearing the vampiress' voice, Louise felt her heart aching and getting sliced.
And then, Celes attacked as though she had it all planned. "You met master first, you had plenty of nights and time with him. I'll give you a few days, then things will be back to normal. Also, Master and I need morning and evening snacks. Keep that in mind while you cuddle with him. Also, let him eat your neck, too. You'll feel awesome, girl."
"That's what I've been thinking about." Louise smirked back and nodded.
Leon wasn't dense to not see and hear that these two reached some common understanding. Time flew by, and everyone's relationship progressed, so it was natural for them to want more and make some plans for how to share their time with him. Leon also thought about it.
And as he liked making schedules and sticking to them, he thought exactly of it. But he didn't want his love and happiness to be like a job, so he needed to give it more time.
Before Louise shifted her eyes to Alexandra, Leon gestured for the dragon maid to take out the sleepy kitty and hold her in her hands.
It should help Alexandra cope with what Louise prepared for her.
The kitty meowed and curled in Alexandra's hands.
Louise wheeled to the dragon maid, and her eyes turned cold. The poor kitty shivered and cried, so Louise quickly calmed her heart and didn't make any harsh moves.
Flatly, she asked. "Who am I?"
"You're master's beloved and my mistress." Alexandra replied, feeling the tremor within her heart as the evil dragon screamed and cleft at her heart. The dragon maid swallowed back her blood.
Louise gravely nodded, keeping her feelings in check. "If you lose against the evil dragon and let her take over you, I'll kill you myself."
"That will never happen, Mistress." Alexandra reassured her fox mistress, then added with her eyes glazed in confidence and emotionless tone. "But should I ever lose against her, I'll heed your aid and beseech you to erase me."
A long and cold silence ensued.
"Ok." Louise finished that silence and turned to her master. "Enjoy your evening snack while I check our new carriage, Master!"
Leon nodded at his adorable fox, then shifted his eyes to his dragon maid. Alexandra had given him an understanding glance, knowing about her position and the mistakes of her past. She wasn't like Celes and Louise, so it was already a blessing that her master had saved her and guided her for a better path.
It was a blessing that she wasn't alone.
"Don't lose against her tonight." Leon encouraged his dragon maid, then went to his vampiress, his heart wanting to eat and suck on her neck.
Alexandra's heart jumped with a new boost of strength, as for the first time in her new life, Leon's voice was laced with a genuine desire to see her succeed.
Perhaps, he pitied her, or it was a simple sympathy — Alexandra couldn't care.
She was just too happy.
And her ecstatic heart calmed down the evil dragon for a few minutes.
In the meantime, Alexandra vomited too much blood. The reason was obvious.
