Miss Miko stopped speaking here.
At this point, although Mr. Cid could still maintain his composure, the small movements of his hands were clearly starting to get a bit out of control.
Miss Miko revealed a delighted smile at seeing the fun.
(￣ᴗ￣)
"Mr. Cid, are you tempted?"
It can only be said that the tables have turned. Cid had suppressed this pink-haired fox for half a day on serious matters, and now it was Miko's turn to tease Mr. Cid.
Cid knew very well that if he admitted he was tempted, Miko would probably go:
'What pink little fox? Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou, you need to look carefully. I don't have any little fox here.'
This fox would definitely pull something like that.
But right now, forcing himself into a state of being tempted yet restrained by his own reason and feeling troubled was probably exactly the look this scrap fox Miko wanted to see...
Ah...
This fox really learns from her mistakes. She found the line to avoid my landmines so quickly...
But how to put it—when in doubt, just charge straight in. When you don't know what to do, just be honest.
"Sigh, yeah, I really was tempted. Too bad I probably won't get to pet that cute pink-haired little fox."
Seeing Mr. Cid fall for it, the fun fox naturally went along with it.
"How could that be? As long as Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou wants it, of course it will happen~"
Cid looked at the scrap fox with an exasperated expression.
"How about you ask Mizuki if she's interested instead? She's been researching a lot about foxes lately~"
Go for it, Mizuki. This is a good opportunity. It's time for you to step up.
Mizuki, who had been completely unable to join the high-level conversation and was just standing there as decoration, was stunned for a moment.
And at this time, Miko also realized that she had indeed neglected Mizuki a bit too much today.
Since she was in a good mood today, and she had already gotten to see Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou's troubled look, she might as well tease this little subordinate who betrayed her~
"Oh, is that so~ Mizuki?"
Miss Yumemizuki knew this was a very important opportunity.
If she missed it, then all the effort Mr. Cid had put in for her would go to waste.
Facing her former idol, Mizuki began walking her own path.
"Yes, Miko. Are you interested? Lately I've discovered that besides devouring nightmares, there are other very useful methods to help people face negative emotions normally."
Miko looked at Mizuki, who was bravely stepping forward, and smiled somewhat playfully.
"About that research on fox knowledge—was it Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou who taught you? Speaking of which, lately at Yae Publishing House, I've also seen some books that use massage as a selling point and are related to that kind of stuff..."
Yae Miko looked very troubled.
"You wouldn't use the excuse of massage like in those erotic novels to turn me, a yellow-flower great fox who can transform into human form, into some weird state, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Yumemizuki Mizuki was teased until her face turned a little red.
"How could that kind of thing be possible just by petting...
What I've learned is only how to make foxes more comfortable..."
Miko showed a disgusted expression.
"I see. Then I'm not interested. There's no erotic content at all. How could readers buy it?"
Cid had something to say about this.
"But it's just petting a fox. What kind of decent person would get erotic thoughts about a fox?"
Yae Miko silently looked at Mr. Cid.
And Mr. Cid returned her gaze with a puzzled look.
In Mr. Cid's eyes, there wasn't the slightest trace of desire for that kind of thing.
There was only the desire to pet cute little creatures.
Yae Miko fell silent.
She quietly shifted her gaze back to Yumemizuki Mizuki.
This Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou was serious. Although he kept his distance from her human form, if she turned into fox form, she would definitely get petted until she went bald.
Can't afford to mess with him. Can't afford to mess with him.
Scared now.
