- Location: - Zhyunia (Ionia) -

''So? Now I have enough vastaya features?''

''I must say, you surprised me. I thought you would be much hairier. I didn't think you would take my suggestions so seriously"

''What are you talking about? I still have my nine tails, and also this long hair. Even though I don't have that much fur on my body, I think I'm still pretty hairy'' Kurama answered while keeping his nine tails moving and shaking his hair forward along with his braids.

''Well, yeah, you have a good point. But I don't know, I was hoping you had a beard or at least thick sideburns. After seeing those vastaya who received us, I thought you would choose to look like them''

''I thought about that, but it wouldn't make sense for our alibi. In this way we can say that we have a family relationship''

''You know that the simple fact that I have human features and none of a vastaya's would attract attention, right?''

''You shouldn't worry about that, we will simply say that our parents were brothers, one of them mated with a vastayasha'rei and we are cousins, problem solved'' Kurama responded with a smile from ear to ear.

''Let's hope that works'' Meiyo sighed as he directed his gaze towards the island that was seen across the sea ''You won't have any problems getting around in that outfit, right?'' He asked, looking at Kurama's outfit.

''No, remember it's a henge, I'm practically not wearing anything'' He replied as he stretched in place ''So you don't need to worry about it''

''You didn't need to mention that you're naked'' He rubbed his eyes in frustration ''I don't want to have a mental image of you that haunts me all the time''

''Don't worry, I'm seeing what you imagine... I must say that you underestimate me, mine is bigger than that, hahahahaha''

''Fuck off, Kurama!''

''I'm just kidding; I never had a dick so I saw it as unnecessary for the henge. Let's better start heading to our destination; If we don't hurry it will be night"

''Okay... One last thing''

As Kurama approached and placed his feet on the sea, he turned to Meiyo, allowing him to continue.

''Why that type of clothing? I'm not saying it looks bad on you, but I'm sure that in the future you'll want something more comfortable when you shape your body''

Kurama stayed in place as he looked towards his soon-to-be destination.

Meiyo didn't bother him, seeing that there weren't even any thoughts that crossed either of their minds.

''When I was still free in our world, I traveled everywhere I was allowed, visiting every forest, mountain, and island that was within my reach. I took advantage of the fear of humans for my amusement, not knowing what I was sowing with it. Even after that, there were humans who respected me and hailed me as a god, unaware of my origins... Therefore, my opinion of you for quite a long time was the same that you have of ants'' Kurama smiled and let out a soft laugh as he closed his eyes for a brief moment. He opened them again while directing his gaze at the sun, which was beginning to set.

''Among all those ants, there were always some that stood out; among them, of course, are those who condemned my existence to being locked up and used me for their own selfish reasons and to maintain a non-existent peace... Still, before all that was unleashed, there were some ants that approached me without fear and who opened the doors of their town to me to settle. Which is funny since there was no room for my normal size''
