[Later]
Marco and Alice were at Meia's house, and gave Meia the Pledge Ring, who she took it on her hands and observed it with a smile before turning towards Marco.
Meia: T..Thank you so much!!
*Ding*
*Upgrade Quest[Successful]: Help the mermaid Meia and her lover to get a marriage ring from the Southern Monster Queen*
*Start the Upgrade?*
*[Yes] or [No]*
*Warning: You will be unconscious for 6 hours once agreed*
Marco was a bit excited from the upgrade, but calmed down immediately.
Marco: 'No'
*Ding*
*Ask the System when to start the Upgrade*
Marco: It was nothing much
In the room there was only Marco and Meia, Meia's husband is fishing while Alice was picking some random snack with Marco's money.
Meia: My darling will be really happy with this… Now, I need to reward you…
Marco: It's alright, I don't need a reward…
Meia: But I'm just an ordinary citizen…
Marco: Hey-
Meia: ...I don't have much money, or an item that you could find useful…
Marco: Oi-
Meia: Therefore… As a reward…
Marco: Wait a se-
Meia: …Shall I give you a blowjob?
Marco: …
Meia: …
They stood in silence for a bit before Marco asked.
Marco: Can I talk?
Meia: Yes.
Marco: Alright… I don't want a reward, I already got one while I was in the sea.
Meia: Oh… Alright then…
Meia was a bit sad due to not being able to reward Marco, but he ignored it and got up from his seat.
Marco: I will take my leave, bye Meia, say bye from me to your husband too.
Meia nodded and said.
Meia: Alright, please stop here the next time you come here, I'll be sure to take care of you two
Marco nodded and left her house, outside, he met with Alice who had many different fishes in her arms, Marco was looking at her strangely, and Allice noticed his look.
Alice: What? Never seen so many fishes?
Marco: *Sigh* Let's go, the job is done…
Alice: Alright, where do we go?
Marco: We will sleep here and then leave at morning.
Alice nodded and started to eat her fishes while following Marco to the most nearby inn.
Later, they reached one, and directly got to sleep, it was a heavy day for Marco, so he didn't wanted to do nothing else than sleep and upgrade the system.
Marco: 'System, upgrade Nine Tailed System'
*Ding*
*Are you sure?*
*[Yes] or [No]*
Marco: 'Yes…' Good night Alice…
Alice: Good night Marco.
*Ding*
*Starting upgrade…*
*1%...*
Then Marco fell unconscious in the bed, at Alice's side since they were sleeping in the sae bed
[Later]
*Ding*
*99%...*
*Insert feature…*
*Rename feature…*
*Installing Support feature…*
*100%*
*Ding*
Congratulations Host, Nine Tailed System upgraded from 1.0 to 2.0*
*Welcome in Nine Tailed System 2.0*
*Do you wish to see the update?*
*[Yes] or [No]*
Marco woke up from the sound and heard everything, then, with a bit of excitation, he sneaked outside without making Alice wake up and jumped in the roof of the inn with a smile.
Marco: 'Yes'
*Ding*
*The first update is: Support Feature*
*Support Feature permits the host to be able to use special enchantments, like Serene Mind, thanks to this feature, you can use special attacks or greatly affect the Nine Tailed System.*
Marco: 'Holy shit! I can make a Rasenshuriken-like Bijuudama if I use Sylph!'
But the surprised didn't ended here…
*Ding*
*The second update is: Nine Tailed Cub System*
*Nine Tailed Cub System permits to the Host to transform himself in a smaller version of the Nine-Tailed Fox, which can be used for sneaking easily in places, or, under this world's datas, escape from the Six Ancestor's Sea.*
*When Host is under Nine Tailed Cub System, he will get the power of 2rd Gate and be able to use really small Bijuudama, it doesn't need cooldown to transform in that form, but you need to stay in that form for 1 hour at least*
Marco: Well… A price to pay… But it's something good to use if I really need it… I wonder how Alice or a Kitsune would reach seeing me as a fox's Cub…
?: A fox's cub?
Marco: KYAAAAAAAAA
Marco jumped away from the sudden voice, and almost fell from the roof, but a tail coiled around his body and managed to save him from the fall, Marco looked down and seen a familiar red tail around his waist.
Marco: Alice?
Indeed, it was Alice the one who saved him, it seems that she woke up when she felt some noise made from Marco's steps. And right now she had a curious look.
Alice: You can be a fox's cub?
Marco: ...Yeah… I could do it only recently…
Alice: ...Show me…
Marco: Huh?
Alice moved Marco near her and said with narrowed eyes.
Alice: Show me…
Marco: Alright, alright… Jeez…
Then Marco closed his eyes and thought.
Marco: 'System, activate the Nine Tailed Cub System'
*Ding*
*Confirm?*
*[Yes] or [No]*
Marco: *Sigh* 'Yes…'
Then at Marco's place was a smokescreen, surprising Alice, and didn't felt Marco anymore inside her tail but she felt something else OVER her tail, and when the smoke disappeared, one of the most cutest things ever seen appeared in front of Alice,
There was a small nine tailed fox of the size of a human head, like the name suggested, it had 9 long swiping tails, he had red-orange fur with black fur around his eyes that stretched towards his ears and red irises with black slits for pupils.
His shape was less defined and had a round face, and looked more like a fox cub.
Marco: So…
Marco's voice was a bit childish, and was interrupted when Alice squealed and tightly hugged him.
Marco: Whoa!
Then Marco realized that he was between Alice's boobs, and just relaxed.
Marco: 'Maybe it isn't that bad…'
Some minutes later, Alice released Marco, who got in his 4 limbs and started at each other.
Alice: What can you do?
Marco: Well, I am as strong as I was at the 2nd Gate, and I can use Bijuudama, even if smaller and weaker, but I am pretty strong even now…
Alice nodded then she used her tail to pick up Marco, surprising him, and started struggling, but he couldn't break free, he was carried to the bed where Alice tightly with a smile and started to sleep.
Marco was slowly getting tired and closed his eyes, starting to sleep.
[Tomorrow]
Marco woke up, finding himself still in Nine Tailed Cub form, and looked around, seeing that Alice was still hugging his fluffy little body, it was a bit strange since Alice hated kitsunes, but it may be that she wants him in that form because she didn't seen him as a kitsune but as something else.
Marco tried to crawl away, but he woke Alice up, who got up and rubbed her eyes before yawning.
Alice: What happened Ma…
Alice just noticed Marco still in his Cub form, and remembered what happened at night, before smiling and petting Marco's head.
Marco was pissed off and slapped away her hand with his small paws and said with a cute and threatening tone.
Marco: I fucking double dare you to try that thing!
Alice didn't take him seriously and petted him once again, Marco clicked his tongue and charged a really weak bijuudama towards Alice's face, before shooting.
The bijuudama hit Alice's face and made a little explosion, which messed up her hair and her face became black from the smoke, Alice was coughing the smoke away, then she glared at Marco, but it was impossible getting angry with him with his smug look in his face which made everything more cute.
Alice: *Sigh* Alright…
Then they prepared their things and left the town, Alice was in her monster form while Marco back at his human form, he didn't wanted to be a cub for a while.
