"Knmuum.." 'I'm so close! I can say my first word!'
"Knum!"
Here in our everyday life, we see a 1 year old fox cub using her throat and trying to say her first word.
"nom!" 'no! It needs to be mom! Mom! I'm soo close!'
Akura whines before practising again.
"Knom!" 'FUCK!'
It is safe to say that she won't be saying her first word that day.
...
It has taken her 3 more days until she is able to speak her first word without a slur!
"Mom!" 'Finally!' Akura rejoices in happiness, as she lies in front of a mirror.
[Milestone Reached. You have spoken your first word.]
[You have received 1 "Roulette Ticket"]
Staring at the notification, she takes a deep gulp.
'I-I-I'm a responsible kitsune... B-B-But one more wouldn't hurt... right?'
...
..
.
'One in item!'
[... Are you serious? Okay, fine. Affirmative.]
Akura stares at the system message in shock.
'Is this fucking system now being sassy?'
[Rolling...]
...
[Ding!]
[You have received "Proper-Posture Belt"]
"Eh?"
She swiftly looks up the information.
[Proper-Posture Belt]
Enhance balance and improve posture subtly when worn! Keep wearing it, and in no time, you will be elegant with or without the belt!
'The fuck? What is this, an ?'
[...]
'Sure, go ahead. Giving me the silent treatment...' Akura sighed before looking back at the item.
'This would be perfect when I get my human form. Mh... I want to be an elegant lady, no matter what I'm doing! Even while sleeping!'
That day, Akura made up her mind about her goal for the future.
...
..
.
"Mom! Mom!" Akura barked out.
Samiko stopped writing, frozen for a few moments before staring at her adorable daughter in shock and excitement.
"What did you call me?"
"Mom?"
Samiko's pointy ears twitch in happiness as she picks up her daughter.
"Fufufu... That's right... Keep calling me mom..."
'I'm gonna slap this in Masato's face... He was so cocky and believed that our Aku would say " Dad first... Fufuf-'
"Mom!" The adorable fluffy cub barks out.
"Yes, darling?" She smiled widely as she responded.
"I'm hungry," Akura said
"Eh?" The mother froze in shock. 'When can she be able to make conversation?'
"Meats?" Akura naturally tilted her head
"..." Samiko stares at her daughter in disbelief before letting out a deep exhale.
"Fuuuuuuh..."
"You really are going to be a handful in the future..."
She rubs her eyes.
'How is she a genius when all she does is laze around...'
***
"Big sis! Big sis!"
Aki froze as she heard the familiar noise. It's from her young mistress, but she shouldn't be able to speak... right?
She slowly turns her head downward, noticing a white groomed cub, 20cm in height, with a large fluffy tail that is about 50% of the cub's body.
"Young mistress?" She spoke confused, as if she didn't know if this really was her young mistress.
"That's me!" Aki stares at her, dumbfounded.
"..."
"Big sis?" Akura tilted her head as she said that, making Aki faint from the adorableness of Akura + the fact that she is calling her big sis.
'Aah... I don't mind dying right now...'
"Big sis?" She nudged her head against Aki's unresponsive body, blood dripping out of her nose.
'Did that spirit attack Aki?! I need to find Dad!'
She sprinted off, barking for attention.
Meanwhile, after Akura left, Aki sat up, wiped her blood trail away and slapped her cheeks.
'That was too dangerous. I need to up my tolerance to her cuteness.' She huffed with a determined look.
***
That day was a day when Akura had surprised everyone with the fact that she was now capable of speaking. And a new legend was formed; there were over 31 people who fainted while blood was dripping down after seeing a certain cub...
But this isn't something she will learn until she is older.
...
2 months have gone by since then.
"Huh?"
Samiko nodded to her daughter.
"You heard me right, Aku. You're going to have tutors."
"B-But..."
"No but. You're 1 and a half years old, yet you can clearly and coherently put together sentences.
The mother crossed her arms, not planning to let her daughter off.
"B-But..." Akura whined adorably.
"No means no."
Akura lets out a whimper.
"You're going to have 3 lessons a week. One in mathematics, one in history and one in manners.
"Nuuu..." Akura started tearing up.
"Mom... please... No..."
[You have used "Puppy Eye"]
"Kkrgh..." Samiko took a step back as she clutched her heart.
'D-Don't tell me she started learning how to use puppy eyes! No! I need to show that I'm not affected to deter her from using it!'
"A-Aku... I'll lower it to 2 lessons a week... H-How about that?"
[Due to the effectiveness of "Puppy Eyes" mixed with your charm. The skill "Puppy Eyes" Levelled up to 4.]
Akura stopped for a moment while evilly laughing in her mind.
"But mom... I don't want to be tutored... You don't want to deprive your daughter of happiness... do you?"
She is purposefully making her eyes as big as she can.
[You have used "Puppy Eye"]
Samiko started breathing heavily. 'No way! She got this proficient with puppy eyes?!'
Then something snapped in Samiko, something that Akura wished she hadn't unleashed.
...
A few hours later.
[Idiot.]
"Keuk..." Akura looks at the ceiling in a daze.
Samiko is mumbling in the corner, embarrassed by how 'improper' she has been.
What happened naturally is that Samiko's maternal and protective instinct grew so big that she wouldn't stop it. And thus, she ended up spoiling and cooing over Akura for over 2 hours.
It was so overbearing for Akura that she decided not to use Puppy Eyes anymore until necessary.
"M-Mom..." She spoke scared, her extremely shiny groom fur shifted as she sat up. Her tail reached a level of fluffiness it has never reached before.
"Forget everything you experience in the past hours!"
"But... about the tutors..."
"You're not having any tutors until you're 4 years old!"
Akura naturally celebrated in her mind before escaping the room.
"Fuh... Fuh... Fuh... That's too dangerous... She's going to use her cuteness as a weapon... I got to warn everyone..."
***
"Kyhahahahaha!"
Inari laughed as she snacked on popcorn. Uxuna isn't here due to an 'incident' at the divine realm.
"Weaponised cuteness, huh~ Since she's still weak, she won't be able to escape on her own once everyone starts doting on her..."
Inari 9 tails started swaying as her lips curled up.
"I wonder what if I gave her my second title blessing... Kyhehehehe"
***
While Akura is playing with a ball, a notification appears.
[The Goddess of Kitsune has given you a new blessing.]

"... Wha-"
[Fusion completed. You have received "Divine Protection of the Goddess of Kitsune and Beauty"]
"What? Huh?" Akura stared, dumbfounded, with her mouth agape.
[Think of it as a Goddess whim.]
"Eh?"
[...]

"..." Akura's brain naturally short-circuited after seeing the multiplier next to her charm.
"O-Oh..."
That was the only word she could've responded with.
...
..
.
From that day onward, nobody was safe against Akura's charms and cuteness.
