I've Turned Into A Fox Girl?

After a few more hours traveling the carriage finally arrived at the gate of Cholden. The guards checked their identities and were allowed through. Shaman was a little surprised that they did not have to pay any sort of tax but was glad she didn't. She also thought it was because Elysia and her were adventurers, so they got a free pass.

"The city really does look like a blacksmith city, if it feels so industrialized." Elysia was confused as she had never heard of the word industrialized before but ignored it as she did not get much of an education and thought it was just some big word she did not understand.

The carriage had finally stopped and so they hopped out and thanked the man. After saying their goodbyes they made their way over to the guild house to check in and so they could accept missions. After doing so they asked where they could rent an apartment and were given different locations depending on wealth.

"We should head to the middle income area to see the prices and if it is relatively cheap we shall stay there. As much as I would like to get high class I feel like it would be a little too much." Elysia nodded in agreement so they made their way to an apartment complex and found the landlord.

"Hello we would like to rent an apartment." Shaman asked the man nicely as she knew to never get on the bad side of the landlord but she also did not overdo it so as to not make the landlord think she was weak.

Shaman planned work as he got straight to business and did not ask any favors so they could have a cheaper stay, he had also seen their rings and thought that the 2 girls were married.

"Okay it will be 3 gold coins a month but you have to buy your own furniture and if there are no questions here is the contract for the apartment." The man handed over a sheet of paper, Shaman read through it to make sure nothing was amiss and signed happily. After getting the keys and handing over the 3 gold coins they made their way to the top floor.

"I'm glad we got to the top floor as I really enjoyed the view at our last place." Elysia was a fan of high places and so she was content with getting a room on the top floor.

"It is quite enjoyable but we have to set up the furniture before it gets too late so wait till after to enjoy the view." Although Shaman wanted to embrace the view she knew that nothing would get done if they were to get distracted so it was better to get it over and done with.

"We are probably going to be here for a while as leveling is going to get slower and slower since the gap between levels to evolve grows." Shaman noticed the threshold to evolve was getting higher and higher and could only assume it was only going to get steeper.

"True and since we can hunt tier 5 as well we could be here for a few months trying to level up." Elysia looked a little sad as she did not want to be in the human city for long as she felt like only problems could occur if they stayed too long.

"It should be fine plus who says we have to stay here, at most we will stay here for a month and then move cities." Shaman also did not want to stay in Elysium as it was ruled by humans as they have tendencies to enslave beast man and usually the cities turn a blind eye although it is illegal.

"Maybe we should eradicate them, then our problems will be solved." Elysia's comment had Shaman shiver a little as killing an entire race was a bit overboard.

"Hey now, not all humans are bad, we just need to get rid of the scum and treat all the others as equals." Shaman wanted to make sure Elysia did not turn into a cold blooded killer and hurt innocents.

"Oh yeah that is true and now that I think about it, many of the humans are nice." Shaman sighed a little as she just saved many people from dying.

They finally arrived at the top as they had to walk up a flight of stairs since elevators do not exist.

"finally it felt like forever to get up here." Elysia could not wait to get inside.

"Well let's get to work." They both entered and it was around the same size as their last apartment. It had a bathroom and kitchen with the bare minimum. All the enchantments to make things work like water and fire were all in place and it was only missing furniture like the man said.

"Good thing you packed everything." Shaman thought it would not be necessary but it looked like Elysia was correct to bring everything.

After unpacking and getting everything in order they went to take a bath and took Wolfy with them as he started to smell and was in need of some cleaning.

Wolfy accepted and started to swim in the bath happily. Shaman and Elysia had entered and started washing each other and had a little fun as they were able to finally relax. After washing up they went out to get some food for Elysia to cook.

After getting some food they went back and enjoyed a meal together. Elysia also noticed that another ring had appeared, she touched it to read what it was but was shocked to see what it was.

[Ring of marriage]

[bounded to Shaman]

[Any sexual acts towards you that you do not allow will create a barrier and stop their advances]

'oh that sly fox, I guess she did it in my sleep and is not quite ready to openly marry me yet.' Elysia was happy and had a massive grin, she also realized that Shaman did want to marry her but was not ready to do it openly so she made sure that she would wait for the day that Shaman would propose to her.

'At least I know she will stay with me.' She was also sure it would happen otherwise she would not have given her this ring so she was willing to wait.

Shaman had noticed that Elysia was in a good mood and could only assume she saw the ring.

Shaman could not help but blush a little and scream internally.

'I can't believe I did that, this is my first relationship and I am already going to get married.' Shaman who was in the bed was rolling around with her hands covering her face.

'Nough, we are not married yet and that ring is for her protection although it had marriage in the name, it was only the system toying with me.' After making an excuse for herself she stopped rolling around.

Elysia entered the room as they were about to go to sleep as they were mentally exhausted from unpacking. Shaman, knowing that she was in a good mood opened her arms to give Elysia a hug.

Elysia jumped into Shaman's arms and so they hugged each other to sleep with Wolfy sleeping soundly at the foot of the bed.

-Underground-

"We have identified 2 tier 1 fox girls who have entered the city and have taken residence here."

"Hmmm good, the last ingredient to the ritual can be completed now." The man had a sinister smile as the cult that was in the previous city was also here and were only missing a fox girl.

"We shall let them settle and so they feel safe and let their guard down, so prepare to kidnap them and in 2 weeks we shall strike." The man knew that if they were moving cities and had an encounter with them, they would be on guard so to be safe he would let them get comfortable before they strike.

"As you wish sir." The old man left the room.

"Finally we can get our payment and put this damn anchor down." The man turned to leave the room as well.

Shaman and Elysia who were snuggling with each other were oblivious to this would have only more trouble to come and their worries would be realized.
