The Life Of A Corpse.

Chapter 19: Unexpected Peace... Alone Time With The Fox?

This has been the journey so far...

The Grim Reaper may have found some peace and silence in the realm... He enjoyed the fresh air and clean sky with his guest... Senko.

-Crow Father.

The sound of birds singing and a calm water was like soothing music in your ears as you were laying down outside with a smile on your face.

(y/n): Now this is more like it... No robot invasion... War against demons... A Vampire in heat... Just peace near the pond, right outside my sweet home.

???: You seem to be enjoying this.

(y/n): What makes you say that?

You asked with a simple smirk before opening an eye, seeing Senko sitting there while your head was in her lap. She looks down as she smile, ears twitching and tail moving around.

Senko: Maybe that smile that's on your face?

(y/n): Hehehe... Mind scratching the back of my ears for a second, Senko?

Senko: Sure!

Senko smiled, reaching her small hand behind one of your ear before giving you a satisfying scratch on the ear, you smiled a silly smile as one of your foot twitches just a bit.

Senko: Like this?

(y/n): Just like that~

You replied with satisfaction in your voice before the silence took over... Now laying on Senko's lap as she looks out into the distance, over the pond before feeling a hand gently caresses her cheek.

(y/n): You know Senko... Something about you just catches my interests.

Senko: Hmm?

Senko looks down at you before you continued...

(y/n): A Fox Goddess that's about eight hundred years old, possibly immortal and stays by your side... You might say that's my cup of tea.

You finished before Senko planted her fluffy tail on your face as she scratches her cheek with a slight blush on her face.

Senko: Geez, you've been out here for a little too long that you're starting to say weird things.

You gently lifted her tail up and responded to her words.

(y/n): Weird, maybe... But the truth is all I'm speaking of.

You gave her a smile before letting her tail fall back onto your face and decided to fall asleep on her lap as Senko just watched without hiding a smile on her face before patting your head and letting the peaceful silence take over.

[Timeskip with (y/n) holding a small box in his hand as Senko asked what it is. Only to watch (y/n) throw it in incredible speed before repeating the word "Nothing".]

Senko: Oh dear... I wad afraid that this would happen.

(y/n): This is unfortunate, indeed.

Hours passed and you and Senko decided to head back in... You went over to check on the earjack girl in her room... But all that was left... Was an empty room, an open window and a note on the bed. Senko and Mari were standing behind you as you walked inside the room before Mari asked.

Mari: You don't think she ran away, did she?

(y/n): Well I wouldn't blame her if she did.

You replied, picking up the note on the bed as you read it. Mari walks inside with her hands on her hips and Senko standing beside you.

Senko: What are you thinking?

(y/n): I think this is where we leave her alone.

Mari: Eh?

(y/n): Think about it. She'd be living the rest of her life living with a Corpse, A Fox Goddess and a Vampire, not to mention that's she's just a young human and it would be wrong of me to just keep her.

You then lifted the note slightly in the air before vaporizing it with some magic in your hand. You placed your hands in your pockets before leaving the room calmly.

(y/n): Come on now, dinners going to get cold.

Senko: Ok... Wait, when did you started cooking?!

(y/n): Mmmmmmmmmmmmagic and I'm surprised you immediately thought it was me who made dinner.

Senko: Why would you do that?! It's my job to pamper you! What part of it do you not understand?!

Your chuckle was heard in the halls ad Senko follows behind before Mari followed last, humming to herself as everything fades to black...

And the title "Helpful Fox Senko" appeared as the title was untouched and silence fills the air.
