"Eh???"
What did that mean? Become her fox?
"You still don't understand? Hellmaru, Higokumaru, come here."
Herrscher Mei waved at the two little foxes off to the side. The next moment, they returned directly to her side. Casually sticking her katana into the ground, Herrscher Mei held one little fox in each arm and stroked their fur.
As Herrscher Mei petted them, both little foxes wore looks of pure enjoyment. At a glance, they were clearly domesticated foxes.
"Like them? Impossible!"
Even as foolish as it was, the fox demon understood what Herrscher Mei meant.
But there was no way it would agree to become her pet like these two spineless little foxes. It was even profoundly disappointed in its own kind. They were all Herrschers, yet they lived so humbly.
They had utterly disgraced the name of Herrscher!
Pah! It had no desire to associate with them.
"I can join you and become your companion, but I absolutely cannot become like these two spineless foxes." The fox demon stared disdainfully at Higokumaru and Hellmaru.
"What?! Haven't you been beaten enough yet?!"
The moment Hellmaru heard the fox demon's words, she could no longer tolerate it! Who did this mere Herrscher of Corruption think it was looking down on?
"What do you know? Being Big Sis's fox is our honor! Follow Big Sis, and there's fried tofu to eat. What do you get from being a Herrscher?"
"Exactly. A Hellmaru locked in a cage like you has probably never even eaten fried tofu! How pitiful. You probably don't even know what fried tofu tastes like."
"No way? No way? Surely there isn't really a fox that's never eaten fried tofu?"
The two little foxes took turns sarcastically mocking the fox demon. Yet their taunts... never strayed far from fried tofu,
