Chapter 12: Leon's plans
Leon surely wouldn't like it, but Louise believed in him mainly because of the skeletons incident.
In that event, the third party confirmed that Leon was someone from another world, which was the turning point for Louise's new life. Of course, Leon, and the way he fought by her side and his sacrifice, also heavily impacted Louise and her decision to stay by his side with a strong and trusting heart.
The more she thought about their first day, the more she believed in him, too.
Moreover, The Oracle wouldn't keep her card for no reason. Perhaps, The Oracle wanted Louise to keep Leon away from the cruel methods of the Human Emperor, whose army of monsters sought blood and flesh, and his female attendants were gorgeous women that he somehow couldn't lay his hands on!
Louise didn't know the exact reason for his problems, but she knew that the man had tried many ways to get his hands on what his body and heart desired.
And Leon happened to have just the same body! He wasn't like that man!
"Prove that you believe in me." Leon's words hit Louise's heart like a train.
She gasped and lifted her eyes, staring at him while blinking. How come he had said those words exactly when she had been thinking about the Human Emperor and his peak humanity's body?!
Louise went tense and nervous, grasping her clothes. Yes, the fox girl also bought beginner clothes for herself, similar to Leon's. In her case, though, Louise took short black pants, which needed a little tinkering because she had tails, and those had grown bigger after leveling up.
But were clothes important right now?
"How do I prove it?" Louise asked, gulping down.
Seeing her nerves, which confused Leon for a moment before he comprehended her heart, Leon promptly added to his former words, "You also need to sleep. It's a great test to show belief in your partner. I don't want to say here for longer, so it'd be best if you slept on my back. But I understand if you don't want to."
It was already great luck that no more skeletons had assaulted them. Leon wanted to bet on them not coming to their location, but nothing was certain in another world, right?
"Oh," Louise exclaimed oddly and surprisingly, then nodded. "I don't mind! But I have no memories of sleeping on someone's back, so I don't know if I'll fall asleep, Master."
"If that happens, tell me, and we'll find a good spot to rest, then," Leon nodded and turned around, revealing his back to his partner.
Of course, they weren't romantic partners but more like adventurer buddies.
Louise seemed to understand it, too, for she promptly saddled Leon. At first, it was quite uncomfortable, but Leon shook her once, her heavy tits going up and down alongside her loudly drumming heart, fixing his grasp on her legs. After he'd done that, Louise felt more comfortable, her heart still racing, and she quietly laid herself on him.
It became clear that Leon had some experience in giving a piggyback.
"Good night," Leon whispered.
"Mmm." Louise was already one foot in a dreamland, soon falling asleep on her master.
"It seems like our night will never be cold," Leon commented while looking at Louise's tails shining like sparks. Now that the fox girl couldn't pay any attention to her body and reactions, her tails went on an auto-pilot, shining and producing a lot of warmth, reflecting her comfy feelings.

A sun ray propped Louise's eyelid while she was still in her master's comfortable grasp, dreaming of a comfy house and delicious food. She didn't want to wake up, but as the sun ray kept poking her, Louise lifted her head and rubbed her eyes.
"Morning." Leon's voice drifted to her fox ears.
Louise blinked a few times, then promptly and little awkwardly replied, "Morning!"
"You're lucky as you've woken up at a good time, Louise. Look ahead." Leon gazed ahead, and hearing him, Louise peeked from his shoulder, finding a small village with a thick river going through it.
Farmers were already up, tending to their farms and animals. Other than that, no soul was outside the street, which told Louise that it was still pretty early in the morning.
"It's a human village. Does Master have any plan?" Louise asked, looking at Leon's face so close she could lick or surprise him. She saw him differently after the first day of experiences and the night on his back. Louise cared more about his smile, which reassured her, and his handsome features were also pleasant to her eyes.
Leon pondered where to start, for he'd been thinking about his plans during the night, then revealed some of it to his partner. "The System Shop holds items valuable for us, which is a feature we should focus on. To get items from our personal shops, we need either money or strength. I don't know about this world's structure and what people do to level up other than killing monsters, so I thought more about our businesses."
"Businesses…" Louise repeated, clearly not having any confidence in that aspect.
Leon wasn't a businessman, too, and he had a manager on Earth, but he could think of some ideas, "Breeding monsters… Ouch! Is there an attack?!"
His partner became so hot that Leon nearly dropped her.
Louise breathed heavily, controlling her tails, then apologized, "Sun attacked me, Master…."
Not feeling bad after hearing such a blatant but lovely lie, Leon carried on with his topic. "If I have a card of a female and male wolf, I might be able to use a skill to make them breed and produce monster cards for me. I'll be able to get a lot of resources this way, you know?"
Louise nodded, for she liked eating meat, and it was a common concept to turn monsters into weapons, armor, and much more equipment.
"If I learn blacksmithing, I'll be able to produce chains and collars of much better quality and stats. I guess some other Monster Collector would use others or enslave needed pieces, but learning stuff sounds so nice, you know? I want to try a lot of stuff, Louise."
After his recent year without any will to live, Leon found a charm in learning new skills and techniques. He didn't have grand ambitions, too, so he believed learning crafting would make his life more enjoyable and useful for his future. He'd be able to create a lot of cool stuff from the caught monsters.
If not breeding skill, then maybe a fusion of monsters? "For instance, fusing two same monsters to get higher grades or different types to find a new breed. And then, I'd either use them as our strength or ingredients."
"Master, what about me?" Louise asked.
"You're free to pursue what you want, Louise." Leon chuckled.
"Cooking! I'll cook monsters!" Louise's expression brightened after receiving such a thought!
Leon grinned and asked in a jesting tone, "Does it mean we will have a grill on your tails?"
"No, a lot of hair would get into a food." Louise looked oddly at her master, for she imagined him seeing through such an obvious thing.
Unfortunately, it was her not getting his joke. Leon chortled and slowly made his way to the farmers.
