Chapter 430: I've Seen Enough, I'm Satisfied
*Splash* *Splash*
Yuuki immediately swam to shore, then shook the water off from her body.
"This cute seven-tailed snow fox is me. Are you satisfied, Goddess Ane?" Yuuki pointed her paw to herself.
"I've seen enough. I'm satisfied. You can return to your human form if you wish." Elena answered with a slight nod, then she leaned back and closed her eyes.
"Hmph!" Yuuki snorted softly and once again used her transformation ability.
When Yuuki returned to being a fox girl, Elysia swiftly used her magic to wrap the naked girl in a towel as requested.
"Thank you." Yuuki tightened her towel and went back to soaking in the hot spring.
Henceforth, Elysia went back to help Rhea absorb the pure energy in the hot spring.
At that moment, Gio turned his head toward the dark brown cat with some thoughts in mind. He presumed that he seemed to be able to use such a skill. Perhaps, if he could prove that he could do the same, he would be praised by his divine master?
After half an hour of bathing, Rhea began to fall asleep in Elysia's arms. Her body needed adequate rest after absorbing that much energy.
"Fwuahh... Master, about ten percent of my strength has recovered now. I'm really sleepy. Sle-py..." After saying that, Rhea closed her eyes and looked for a comfortable sleeping position.
"Hm, you need to rest every 5%, huh... Let's get out of the hot spring. Allow me to change your clothes, Aria." Elysia stepped out of the hot spring.
"En." Rhea just nodded and surrendered her body entirely to Elysia.
Seeing that the two individuals were about to leave, Elena and everyone else decided to end their hot spring event.
Elysia, Elena, and the Goddesses only needed to use their magic or abilities, and poof, they were fully clothed. The little beasts didn't bother wearing clothes because they had their fur. So, only Yuuki was bothered by hastily putting on clothes.
"Hey, two male beasts over there. Don't try to peek at me or you will suffer the wrath of snowstorm. I was generous enough to ignore that we're in the same hot spring." Yuuki popped out her head from behind a boulder to convey a threat.
"Just do what you want to do, fox girl yo. The Beast Race has distinctive preferences toward the opposite gender. I already have a wife above all. So, don't try to tempt me with that ugly body of yours. I'll never be interested, meh." Theo sneered back and walked away with his wife beside him.
"Kha!" Yuuki froze and felt as if her pride was being trampled under that insult. She then immediately put on her white robe and rushed toward Elysia to confirm the truth.
"Umm, excuse me, this might sound a bit wrong to ask, but, am I ugly in your eyes? What do you think of my body, Goddess Elysia?" Yuuki felt insecure before knowing the opinion of the ever kind divine being.
"Hmm?" Elysia slightly widened her eyes to look at Yuuki. She didn't understand why Yuuki would ask such a thing. Still, if it would make Yuuki feel better, then she needed to convey her opinion for whatever reason.
"You are a beautiful fox girl with charming long snow-white hair. Your skin looks smooth and looks as white as jade. Your eyes look like gold jewels. Em, wait, it tends to yellow it seems, yes yellow then." Elysia then looked at Yuuki's body up and down to check. "And as for your body, hmm... You have a nice well-developed body. Your fox ears look adorable and fluffy. Oh, it's twitching and standing up straight, you must feel happy."
"Hum, right! It turns out that it's only a problem for the Beast Race. How dare he say that I am ugly, hmph!" Yuuki trampled the ground out of irritation. She gave a death glare to the group of cats not far from her.
"It's okay, you just have to tolerate it. Don't you realize that Theo probably said that because he didn't like your threat? It would have been different if you had asked him nicely. You need to practice with speech, Yuuki. I will teach you later, do you want it?" Elysia patted the angry fox girl's head tenderly.
"Un, please teach me, teacher!" Yuuki became cheerful instantly.
At the same time, a brown tortoise walked over. Gio jumped up and down to get everyone's attention. "Rawr, rawr, rawr..."
"Hmm, what's wrong Gio?" Nell knew that this tortoise wanted to convey something, but she didn't understand the rawr language.
"Uhmm, Gio wants to prove that he can also use skills or maybe his abilities to transform into his human form. He doesn't know why, but he knows that he can do that." Vanessa helped to translate the gist of what Gio wanted to say.
"Oh, looks like the thing that just caught his attention too, hmm? Alright, show us your human form, Gio." Elena nodded in understanding. She folded her arms and waited with a curious gaze.
"Mm, I'd like to take a look too. Is there any notable difference compared to Theo and Yuuki? I wonder." Elysia wrapped Rhea in a warm blanket, then she also nodded in agreement.
Seeing a nod from Elysia, Gio replied with a confident nod. He then tried to apply what his instincts told him to do.
The little brown tortoise was instantly enveloped by a bright red light. The little shadow slowly enlarged to form a human-like shape.
It continued until his shadow stopped at three meters high. Compared to the two meters tall Theo's human form and the 165 centimeters tall Yuuki, the difference was evident.
Elysia was just about to wrap Gio in a spare towel as soon as the bright red light dimmed. But, she canceled her intention because it wasn't necessary.
The figure that appeared before everyone was a tan-skinned man with spiky light brown hair. His eyes were the same color as his hair, but there was a slit typical of a reptile. The current Gio possessed a muscular body covered in armor-like scales that protected all parts of his body except his face and hands.
However, what stood out the most was the pair of earth dragon horns of his proper form. The current him was not a dragon-man but similar to a half-dragon hybrid.
"Hmm..." Gio mumbled in a hoarse voice. He looked at his hands and nodded in satisfaction.
After that, he glanced at everyone and waited for any compliments or comments, especially his divine master's opinion. He didn't know what the others might say without his senior white tiger's help, but he could read the emotions from the facial expressions.
"Wonderful! You seem reliable in various matters, Gio. You can do a lot of things with your human form. It turns out that you are similar to Yuuki." Elysia gave light applause in response to Gio's expectant gaze. She envisioned someone who could help take care of the heavy load in the kitchen.
Gio smiled to return his divine master's delighted expression. He was pleased to see his divine master happy. It didn't matter if he didn't know what his divine master was saying.
"Wow, you suddenly became a living shield! I can hide behind your big body for protection, comrade." Yuuki clapped his hands as well. She was excited for an imaginary event in her mind.
"Therianthropic, or weredragon? Hm, Gio still retains the majority of his true form. His body is clad in almost full body hard scale armor. Even if we ignore his dragon-like horns, he is still not a Beastkin Race." Elena put her hand to her chin and concluded. She nodded in agreement to her own statement.
"Woah, Gio is indeed a beast, then and now. You are tall and big compared to a normal human, Gio. I'm sure you will stand out even if you are among a crowd of thousands of humans." Nell flew over and landed on Gio's shoulder. She patted his rock-hard neck casually. "You no longer need to wear any clothes with this super duper hard scale armor, hehe..."
"But hey, why did his tail suddenly disappear? Shouldn't he have a tail like his dragon or tortoise form?" Theo pointed at the oddity he had just realized.
All attention is on Gio's lower back. There was no tail, but who cares. After all, it was Gio's ability and everything based on his will.
"Hum..." Gio felt happy because the others were happy. However, he felt something odd because it was as if something was stuck in his throat to restrain him from roaring or rawr-ing. He tried several times, and it worked. "Rawr, rarr!"
"Oh, Gio feels good to see everyone else happy too." Vanessa helped to translate.
Gio glanced down to see the little white cat. He bent down and carried his senior sister onto his shoulder.
"Well... Mew." Vanessa just lay on her stomach. She wagged her tail and waited for what would happen next. Gio just wanted her to be there, and she knew it.
"All right, let's have dinner together. Gio, you will help me with the heavy kitchen chores, and you will all help too, no exceptions. We have some gluttons to feed." Elysia walked forward while holding Elena's hand. She expects everyone's help, including her guardian angel.
"I'll help too! I have lots of fresh groceries." Nell raised her hand cheerfully, but she looked at the sleeping baby in Elysia's arms. Too bad. Her big sister was already asleep. So, her big sister would skip this festive dinner.
After that, everyone went to follow Elysia to another cave chamber. The night was so warm, peaceful, and accompanied by lots of delicious food. It was a party for the first time in Yuuki's life. She became the one who felt the most excited and happy among all.
