939 Little Ninja Thief
“Hmm-mm~” Yuuki was a happy and blessed fox right now. It was an impressive date. She could go wherever she wanted with her master.
She took the lead, and her master was so lovely. The most memorable thing for her was the event at the beauty salon. Several arrogant noble ladies were looking for trouble because she wasn’t human.
“Heehee~” Yuuki recalled when Elysia stood for her and oppressed those ignorant noble ladies for jeering and insulting her.
“She is my companion, my family. If you keep talking like that, don’t blame me if I become merciless. Not even a God can save you.” Elysia’s words kept ringing in Yuuki’s mind. Yuuki was unbelievably happy.
Those noble ladies immediately ran away because they were intimidated. No one knew whether those arrogant batches would receive a few beatings when they later found Elysia’s true identity at their home.
Elysia and Yuuki’s current location was above the city walls. Today was beautiful, and Yuuki wished to see the sunset together.
“Master, do I look like a princess now?” Yuuki twirled in front of Elysia.
“Mm, you are my snow fox princess.” Elysia understood what Yuuki was feeling. When compared to the other girls, Yuuki felt to have the weakest origin because the other girl was either princess or lady of high status.
“Hmm, thank you, master~” Yuuki sat next to her master, watching the sunset with a smile.
“…” Elysia saw Yuuki’s seven tails swaying because of Yuuki’s happy mood. She held one and placed it on her lap.
“Do you like my tails, master? It’s a bit troublesome sometimes because there are so many of them and sometimes they bloom like a fan. It also sometimes moves without my noticing.” Yuuki looked at her master.
“Yes, your fur is the fluffiest. Your tails will increase as your strength grows, right? It will be eight when you ascend to Empress rank and nine when you become a Divine.” Elysia began to imagine Yuuki becoming the nine-tailed fox beastkin in the myth.
“Fufu, I know you love my fur, master. I take very good care of it.” Yuuki put her other tails onto Elysia’s lap, then left one for her to cuddle.
“…” Vanessa took out a small note and put it first. She had to groom her fur more to beat Yuuki’s fluffiness.
“The sun has set. Now it’s time for us to go to the palace. We can buy some things you like on the way because this is the beginning of this city’s nightlife.” Elysia stood up and extended her hand to Yuuki.
“En, but I heard that every city has a curfew. Only guards and knights patrol the night.” Yuuki grabbed Elysia’s hand.
“Yes, that’s true. Depending on the city’s policy, the curfew is around ten or eleven at night.” Elysia carried Vanessa, and they left.
As Elysia and Yuuki walked through the main street, a slight commotion occurred at the end of the road. A ninja-like kid was running at an impressive speed towards them.
“Catch that kid!” Several adults chased behind in anger and annoyance.
“Hmm?” Elysia noticed the ninja boy running towards her. That boy probably couldn’t see their presence because of her anti-attention magic.
“!?” The ninja boy widened his eyes when he found two beautiful girls appearing so close in front of him. He failed to notice them but immediately maneuvered to avoid the obstacles.
“Wow, he did a flip. We didn’t stop him, master?” Yuuki stood to the side and looked back.
“That’s not necessary. That ninja boy is now being chased by four Great Masters and a Spirit warrior. It would be a shame if they couldn’t catch a little Beginner-level thief.” Elysia didn’t intend to get involved because she didn’t feel it was necessary.
“Stop that little demon thief!” The Spirit warrior shouted at the people in front.
They tried to stop the little ninja boy, but they were no obstacles for the little ninja to escape.
“Wait, where’s my Space Bag?”
“Ah, my artifact is missing!?”
“My money is not there? I was robbed!?”
“My saving, my treasures disappeared!?”
“Is it possible because of that little thief!? Chase him!”
The surrounding people exclaimed in surprise, then rushed after the little thief like a group of madmen.
“Eh?” Yuuki checked her waist belt. She couldn’t find her treasured Space Bag either. It was the snow-white Space Bag that her master had gifted her, and it was stolen even though she had put it in a safe place!?
“What is it?” Elysia turned her head because Yuuki suddenly became agitated and panicked.
“Master, master, my Space Bag is stolen by that little thief too. He probably has super thief skills and a quick escape. I must catch him immediately, or I’ll lose my treasures!” Yuuki held her head, almost crying. That Space Bag and its contents were beyond precious to her.
“No, wait. We don’t need to chase him because he will come to us to return everything. I remember you put your divine artifact there. If your Space Bag is in that ninja boy’s hand, then we can summon him forcefully before us.” Elysia held Yuuki’s arm, then handed Vanessa over.
Ai, Vanessa, Nell and Elysia’s other secret protectors were just about to take action to catch that thief, but they got their priority. Luckily, Elysia could do something to retrieve Yuuki’s Space Bag.
Elysia checked her belonging for a moment. Her Space Bags and artifacts were still there because her divine protection would prevent outsiders from touching her.
After that, she raised two fingers and closed her eyes. She concentrated on sensing Yuuki’s divine artifacts. Since they were also crafted by her laws and their half-master, so she could call them, including the Space Bag.
*Poof*
The ninja boy appeared out of thin air and landed in the middle of the street with a thud.
“Ouch, my butt!” The ninja boy groaned and was confused, but he soon realized his predicament. The two princesses did not hunt him like the others, but were they experts beyond experts!?
“Ah, um, princess. Is there anything you need from me?” The ninja boy pretended to be innocent. He glanced at the girl wearing a crown and a beautiful sparkling white dress.
“Gulp… She is a Saint-rank princess, but the other one is just a Beginner-level servant?” The ninja boy muttered under his breath as he compared the strength of the two peerless beauties before him.
“What did you just say?” Yuuki opened her palm, creating a freezing cold blue flame. It was a great offense to call her master a servant.
“You are a young human with superb skills, not a little demon. Why did you decide to walk the path of a thief?” Elysia shook her head and waved her hand. She took that thief’s belongings without even sparing a single coin.
It was an ability with space laws that Rhea and Lifa had taught her, but she tweaked it a bit. That ninja boy wasn’t the only one with thief-like skills.
“Hmph! Eh?” The ninja boy was about to run away, but he suddenly couldn’t move his legs. His feet stuck hard to the road, frozen.
“You can’t run. Return my Space Bag now.” Yuuki stretched out her hand, intimidating with super cold mental pressure.
“O almighty princess. My apologies, but you may have the wrong person. I am only a child, and how could I steal from someone as powerful as you.” The ninja boy became somewhat frantic.
“You dare to lie in front of me? I will ask one more time, return my Space Bag this instant. Or, I will freeze you and take my Space Bag by myself.” Yuuki froze the thief’s legs from foot to waist.
“Tch, that thief suddenly disappeared.”
“It’s my family’s huge loss.”
“Search for that little demon all over town.”
“He can’t get out of the capital city at will. We’ll look for him until we find him!”
“Oh, wait! Look there!”
“That damned little thief has been caught!”
Several high-level warriors walked back to the main street. They were surprised to find the little thief half-frozen in front of the two peerless beauties.
pAn,D a-n0ve1,c-o-m “Haha, this is a punishment from heaven. You tried to steal from a Saint Princess and failed!”
“Return my Space Bag this instant or this daddy will wack you to death.”
“Now you can’t run anywhere. We are very grateful to you, noble princess.”
The warriors and townspeople immediately gathered, expressing gratitude and praising the two peerless beauties. Everyone was about to beat up the little ninja thief, but the perpetrator instantly spoke to save his life.
“Wait, wait, I’ll give your things back. Please don’t be too impulsive to bully a child.” The ninja boy raised his palm immediately and rummaged into his clothes.
He soon broke into a cold sweat when he realized the Space Bag he had tied to his body was no longer there. He was the thief, but he was robbed. “Disappear? Is it not there? My Space Bag is also missing!?”
“Don’t pretend to be a pitiful little garlic. I don’t have much patience, little ninja thief.” Yuuki unconsciously increased her cold intensity to freeze her surroundings.
“Yuuki, this is yours. It’s back to us.” Elysia put a snow-white Space Bag into Yuuki’s hand.
“Eh? Ooh~” Yuuki’s freezing cold ability went out instantly. She no longer cared about the ninja boy and immediately checked her Space Bag’s contents. Everything was still there, and she finally could breathe a sigh of relief.
“Phew.” The ninja boy and the surrounding people were also relieved. They almost froze into chunks of ice just because of the angry princess.
Upon closer look, that white princess was not human. Everyone only realized it when they looked at her ears and tails. That snow-white princess was a Fox Princess from the Beastkin Race!
“We confiscated the little ninja thief’s Space Bag. Please come to the palace with us if you want your belongings back. You must be able to describe your items stolen by the little ninja thief, or else we cannot find which one is yours.
Also, please bring the little ninja thief to the palace. Don’t beat him, as the punishment will await him. The Mitchell Royal Family is the one that will take care of this matter.” Elysia turned around and walked towards the palace.
There were a lot of items stolen by this little ninja thief. She couldn’t return the items to the wrong person. Therefore, it was best to leave these troublesome matters to the royal family.
“Wait, your master hasn’t spoken yet, but why are you being so bossy, missy? Are you the one who has taken back all the items from this little thief’s hand?” A middle-aged man blocked Elysia’s way, feeling dissatisfied.
