The Fox Goddess

"I know that you are confused, but don't worry about why I made you stay. Don't worry, it's nothing bad, I just want to talk with you… or rather. She wants to talk with you." Yuki then grabbed something out of nowhere and to Aika's shock, she saw a slender white hand coming out of thin air, but the most shocking thing for her is the hand that came out was somehow familiar to her. But even after a few seconds of guessing she cannot seem to remember whose the hand belongs to and because the owner of the hand seemed to refuse to openly reveal herself so Aika still couldn't know who she was. 𝙗𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎

"Why are you refusing to come out? Don't be shy anymore, you're her Mother after all." At first, Yuki's eyes went cold when she saw that Amane was refusing to come out, but soon her eyes turned warm and gentle as she invited her to come out again. She then loosened her grip on Amane's hand, but before she could let go, Amane panicked and quickly held her hand tightly in response afraid that Yuki would actually let go, and this was finally the time when Aika could see the other person. And whe she could finally see the woman clearly, she didn't even realize that she was already crying, but she cried even harder when she was embraced by the same woman.

"Mother Fairy…" Aika's muffled cries were faintly heard as her little head was pressed tightly on Amane's chest, as for the Mother. She has already tears in her eyes as she rubs Aika's back while burying her head in Aika's neck. They didn't say anything but just embraced each other, feeling the warmness that they have missed for months, as for Yuki. She simply watched everything while she sat in a chair with a faint smile on her face. She doesn't have a plan in ruining their little mother-and-daughter reunion, it was just enough for her to see her daughter finally meet her Mother Fairy who she wants to meet all this time. Instead, she just took out a phone that she made with the materials that came from that Immortal Realm and pictured the rare sight. Though because she wasn't the type of person to take pictures, she had to take dozens of shots before it finally made it to her own standards.

After a few minutes of the two crying while embracing each other, they finally calmed down and went towards Yuki to have a chat as a whole family, but Aika simply refused to walk and asked Amane to carry her because she refused to be separated for her even for just a second. But Amane didn't mind because she was also thinking the same, getting separated from her daughter is the last thing she could ever want in this current situation.

"You look like you have a question, why don't you ask it?" Yuki saw Aika who was snuggling comfortably in Amane's arms while her eyes were still red, but she kept silent and only stared at her Mommy as if she wanted to ask something, and when she heard Yuki's words she froze and stuttered while answering her.

"I… Mommy- I just wanted to ask… Why does it seem like you are avoiding Mother?" Aika asked nervously and she even got more tense when she felt Amane's body shiver slightly because of her question. Peeking at Amane slightly, she saw that she had an awkward smile while she stares at her, and at this moment she finally understood everything. A bright idea then came up in her head as she leaves Amane's embrace and went towards Yuki who suddenly had a bad feeling just by looking at her daughter who was slowly approaching her. She felt like she misunderstood something, but she can't pinpoint what it is that she misunderstood.

"Mommy, Mother Fairy… Are the two of you fighting?" Aika asked as she even cupped Yuki's cheeks and seriously looked at her face. Yuki was speechless whe she heard her daughter's question, out of all of the questions that she thought in her head that could possibly come out of her little mouth, this was a question that she didn't even think of.

"Uhhh… What made you think that?" Yuki still remained calm and asked indifferently as she looked at Aika whose eyes were staring at her. Her clear crimson-red eyes somehow resembled blood that was so pure.

"Because you seem distant to her? Mother, don't you think so?" Aika asked lightly as she even looks at Amane for confirmation and because of the sudden spotlight, her mind went blank because there was no way she can answer her daughter's question. Because she also doesn't know why she was like that, she already knows that Yuki is not a petty person and avoids her because of what her Mother had done, she even thinks that she simply sees it as a joke after seeing she handles it with absolute ease.

"I… I don't know." That was all Amane could say, she truly doesn't know how to answer her daughter's question and can only say these words. She was hoping that she would give up after hearing her answer, but she was wrong. Aika still didn't give up because she wants both of her parents to be on good terms, she doesn't like seeing them fighting like this, even if it was just a small fight such as this, it hurts her seeing them like this.

"Mother, is it because you lied to Mommy? You said that you were already in heaven and left Mommy and then you suddenly came back, maybe that's the reason why." Aika whispered under her breath, but her words were clearly heard by the two as they couldn't believe that she would actually come up with such a theory that seems realistic if Yuki was a normal person, but she was not. She hardly cares even if Amane doesn't come back, at most they are just strangers who were entangled together because of Aika.

"What?!"

"See? I was right, Mother can you apologize to Mommy? Mommy always said to me that if you know that you make a mistake, you should apologize to that person." Aika said in an excited voice as she looked at Amane with shining eyes, she was proud to see that she was actually right. Though she just misunderstood Yuki's quietness as an answer even though it was wrong.

But Aika was not even close to persuading Amane because she just stood still and when Aika saw this, she puffed both of her cheeks and without waiting for an answer from Amane, she stood up on the bed and looked at her straight in the eyes. At first, they were confused and only thought that she was angry, but they suddenly heard quiet sobs their expression immediately changed and without wasting any more time, the two of them went toward and begins to coax her down.

"Aika don't cry, I didn't mean to lie to Yuki. Please, believe me. If you want I'll apologize to her now!" Amane said in a panic, she then steeled her nerves and apologized to Yuki, and to ensure that Aika would be satisfied with her apology she even held her hands and looked at her with a sincere face and a faint loving one that Aika could sense too. In response, Aika actually stopped crying and just looked at Yuki with expectant eyes and when Yuki saw this, she decided to swallow the words that were about to come out.

"I… It's fine, it's not like I blame you for it. I know that you have difficulties, but I hope you can be honest with me from now on." Yuki said with a smile as she accepted Amane's apology. Though both of them were only acting to try and appease their little princess, and just before they could separate, they heard Aika which made their head blank again.

"I feel like the two of you are not sincere enough, so can you two kiss? Mother, Mommy?"
