What stood before my eyes couldn't be called perfection. Nor the absolute.
Human language simply lacked the proper terms to describe what I saw, and that wasn't a cum-infused rambling of a horny young man.
Objectively speaking, the alleged true, human form of the fox… Was something that went beyond the scope of what was human.
The gentle shapes before my eyes achieved perfection. There was no single spot or blemish on the young fox… foxtress? Foxgirl? Foxwoman?
Stunned by the beauty before my eyes, I couldn't even gather my thoughts.
My heart tensed up. In an instant, I felt like committing sacrilege just by staring at the unspeakable beauty before my eyes.
Everything about it was perfect.
The long, fluffy, pearl-white hair cascaded down the fox-girl's back and gave her a comfortable aura. The corners of her mouth were decorated by small dimples as she gave off a shy, reluctant smile. The full shape of her breasts finished with red cherries at the top, her perfect hourglass figure…
The girl standing before me was simply too perfect to exist. She uncannily lacked any sort of even tiny imperfection, appearing like the goddess incarnate, born perfection that a human would be forever inferior to.
'Wait!'
Snapping out of my near-religious daze, I shook my head and rapidly lowered my eyes before turning around.
"I'm sorry, but could you please dress up?" I requested in a shaky voice while stretching my hand out to offer my jacket again. "I don't know where to look if I can see you like this," my voice shook.
Because how in all hells was I supposed to be calm, when this damned fox turned into the very essence of beauty that I was supposed to refine and crystalize through my entire life to figure out my perfect type?!
"Human Peter…" the softer-spoken fox voice filled with worry.
Hearing the anxiety in the voice that came from that perfect mouth…
I reached out and grasped at my heart while squeezing my eyelids with all my might.
The struggle to keep myself turned away from this absolute was a lot harder than anything I've ever suffered through before. Not even my high endurance made it easy to resist the charm.
"Child, dress up," the slightly colder, more toned voice of the bigger fox filled my brain, followed by the quick rustling as the weight of the jacket lifted from my hand.
'Once ordered, she didn't hesitate even for a second,' I thought, clenching my chest even harder.
Overwhelmed by the temptation and before I could even consider dumping all my free points into more endurance, I somehow recalled the softness and weight I got to cuddle up to just a few moments ago.
My face instantly burned bright red. Heat exploded in my abdomen, only for my blood to rapidly spread all over my body.
The softness I felt with my hand, the mellowness that I buried my fingers in…
"Human Peter…" This time, the soft voice of the smaller fox was filled with reluctance. A mere second later, I felt a gentle, restrained touch on my shoulder.
As if a high current snapped through me, my body nearly jumped in place, turning most of the way back…
'God fucking damn it,' I cursed, lacking breath to properly utter my amazement.
The beauty that was fully exposed just a moment ago was now covered in but an oversized jacket, barely covering the girl's most important parts. And yet…
The plumpness of her thighs peeking out from below the jacket's bottom edge, the promise of what was hidden just an inch or two away from peeking out, the well-accented bulge of her chest…
Or rather, the cleavage showed half of the girl's prideful assets, as she failed to keep her chest within the cloth, leaving the zipper pulled only halfway up.
"I guess I can handle that much," I thought, nearly crying blood while forcing my eyes up and locking them on the fox-girl's face. Which, once I did it, turned out to be surprisingly easy to keep my eyes on her face, as it was an absolute all on its own.
A picture-perfect image of gentle female beauty that I have only ever seen artificial intelligence come close to creating.
"Human Peter," the bigger fox finally came around to use the new, easier-to-accept form again. "T'is my beloved child, who you fed and cared for."
Those few words of the massive fox alone were enough to turn the fox girl's face from concern and worry to a massive blush.
'It appears that while she might struggle to control her expressions, they still do come out naturally,' I thought, charmed by the sudden display of pure embarrassment.
A weird union came to be in my soul, where I couldn't help but consider her animalistically adorable, just like I would adore a cute pet while admiring her human beauty as I would when gazing at an exceptionally well-kept woman.
This duality only reinforced the sexual charm that this half-dressed girl had on me.
Only with the utmost effort and my entire willpower, I managed to keep my hands by my sides and resist the allure.
"It is my wish, for you to show her the world," the bigger fox continued, ignoring both its daughter's blush and my awe mixed with shock.
"Excuse me?" I barely managed to utter.
What was this wish-fulfillment type of development? I just met this insane beauty and now her parent was entrusting her to me?
"Are you dissatisfied?" the massive fox asked while the mood of the fox-girl quite obviously dropped. Her shoulders slumped down, her chin moved towards her chest while her eyes peeked up, unable to resist the hope and curiosity brimming in her pupils.
"You desired to see her true form. And to do so, t'is child of mine used your essence to assume the perfect form your heart and soul desired. And now that you've seen her…"
I suddenly realized just how much anger and fury there was in the fox's voice, something that for some unknown reason, I missed thus far.
"You are dissatisfied?!"
"That's not it!" I proclaimed with all my heart, somehow overcoming the stunlock of the fox-girl beauty. "That's not it at all!" I shouted before lowering my gaze, not daring to spoil the fox-girl's beauty with my filthy eyes.
And in a bout of strange honesty that came from somewhere within…
"I'm not of this world, I believe," I admitted against all reason to the tune of my insides screaming out in terror. "Where I come from, there are no foxes that can turn human. And she's so beautiful…" I hesitated.
What I was about to say was quite challenging to squeeze out of my throat. I still had my pride as a man, after all! But still…
What was this pride worth in the face of the unknown strength of this bus-sized fox that could both speak and likely transform into a human? What else was it capable of doing?
That, I didn't even bother guessing. If all I learned from novels and games could be of any use, then this biggass fox wasn't at the level of a random mob, but most likely a boss of sorts!
And between my pride and its wrath… I knew which was easier to risk.
"I won't be able to protect her from those in my world who would kill to get their hands on something they've never seen before."
The big fox… didn't reply. And while the fox-girl continued to send me curious glances with mixed feelings appearing all over her face…
The fox-girl's parents suddenly stood up. Then, while I was still frozen in place, it reached out with its mouth, and while parting its lips just a little bit…
It breathed out.

My thoughts muffled, and my body suddenly grew weak. Unable to support my own weight, I fell forward, only to land in something warm and soft… yet suddenly too complex for me to figure out.
"Now, sleep, Human Peter," the big fox's voice turned somewhat gentle and slightly amused. "You've gained my respect and recognition. Once you wake up…"
And as if to add a pinch of salt to this glorious moment, I didn't get to hear the rest before falling asleep on the most divine pillow of all.
