Akura rubs her eyes, confused. Her surrounding is all clouds as far as the eye can see.
"Wha..."
"Huh? Why are you here?"
Akura turned her head around, spotting the same goddess who reincarnated her.
"Dunno, I just woke up here"
Uxuna squinted her eyes and stared at her before noticing a certain energy around the cub. She sighed and rubbed her nose bridge.
"It's that stupid fox's prank again..."
"So... uuh... Am I dead again?"
"Fufu. Definitely not" Uxuna walks up to her and lifts her into her arms.
"Umu. Umu." Uxuna nodded in satisfaction as she pet and caressed the cub's oversized, fluffy tail.
Akura, originally confused about why she's here, got even more confused when she got lifted, and the Goddess of Fate started petting her.
"I made the right move to convince you to reincarnate as a kitsune."
Akura's mouth is left agape at the realisation, this woman is hard-core kitsune fanatic!
"So um... What did you mean by that stupid fox's prank again?"
"What was your second blessing called?"
"Blessing of the Goddess of Kitsune?"
"Yup, that fox"
Her mind just crashed from the fact that a literal goddess just played a prank on her.
º△º
...
"Fufufufu... How cute... Your infant mind cannot easily take in shocking information so easily..." She started playing with Akura's big, fluffy ears, folding them forward and stroking them.
"Ahhhhh..." Akura melts from the touch instinctively while her brain is still rebooting.
"Fufufu... Don't worry, you will return to your body in a couple of hours..." She playfully pinched and booped Akura's nose.
Akura finally snapped back to reality and stared at her, confused.
"So is that why I'm able to speak here?"
"Indeed."
"So I just hang out here until time runs out?"
Uxuna nodded as she continued her ministration.
"Can I ask a question?"
"Umu." She nodded.
"How did you make the system?"
Uxuna froze for a moment before glancing at the fluff ball in her arms.
'Didn't expect that to be the first question... Clever girl.' Her lips curl up.
"The system is derived from the Akashic Record"
"The what now?"
"Fufufu... The Akashic Record is a place that stores and collects everything that once existed and continue existing."
"Eh?" Akura stares at her in awe and shock.
"Fuu... So it means that the gacha system can give you any based skills or items that once or currently exist. Neat Trick, right?"
"What the fuck! That's broken!"
Uxuna chuckles.
"Yes, it is, but the Akashic Record can block the skills you're not allowed to have, so you won't receive them while spinning the wheel."
"Aww..."
"Fufu" Her eyes turned into a crescent shape as she savours the feeling of Akura tail, although inferior to Inari, it's certainly top tier.
"So why does my system have a personality?"
...
..
.
"Eh?" This time, Uxuna is shocked and surprised.
"What now?" She spoke out in confusion.
"My system has a personality?"
"... Eh?" Uxuna is more confused because the system can't have a personality. Its only purpose is to help the user and answer some questions.
"Why are you acting confused? Didn't you make the system?"
"Yes, I did, but the system is incapable of having a personality."
"But it does," Akura said to her.
"I know! That's why I'm confused!" Uxuna groans, she has never considered Akura to be lying because the emotion Akura is emitting right now is sincere and curiosity.
"So... Uh... What was the system supposed to do originally then?"
"Shows your stats, the changes, information on the skills and items you receive from the Gacha system and answers basic questions for you"
"So it doesn't answer any complex question?"
"... Don't tell me you asked a complex question and it answered it..."
Akura can only give a cute nod as Uxuna groans, before manifesting a comfy sofa and sitting down on it.
"It can tell me about true reincarnation and normal reincarnation
Uxuna froze for a moment. This is something that nobody except those with Godhood knows, yet the system can answer it.
"Uhh... Alright, let's think of this as a happy accident!" Uxuna proceeded to give up thinking about it; she never knew that an ego or personality would form from the system.
'The Akashic record must've done something to my system, huh...'
"..." Akaru just stares at this goddess with a deadpanned look.
"Ahem..." Uxuna clears her throat.
"I have one more question"
Uxuna stares at Akura, hoping that it will not make her confused again.
"...
Go on..."
"Why the temporary gambling ban?" She stares at the goddess with an even more deadpanned expression.
"L-Like I said... For your mental health... You're too young to be gambling..."
"This is child abuse," She hopped away from Uxuna's lap and let out a deep, terrifying growl.
Uxuna almost fainted from the adorableness of the growl.
"I've been suffering from withdrawal for 3 months! Take down the ban!" She howls.
"T-T-That..." Uxuna is fighting back her maternal and protective instinct of Akura.
"How much longer do I have to wait!"
"I... Cugh..."
Akura stares at her with furious fire in her eyes, her tail fluffed up in attack mode, which seriously fuels Uxuna's maternal and protective instinct.
"Ahem... the ban is actually ending tomorrow..."
"Eh?"
º△º
"Really?"
"Umu."
"So..."
Uxuna nodded at the cub.
Akura slowly started blushing red; she did all of that for no reason. If she had waited, she would've been able to gamble...
'Damnit! I would've loved a [Patience] skill right now! It would be so useful to me!'
