[Meanwhile]While Marco was walking towards the desert, Alice was back at her castle since she could teleport like the other Heavenly Knights.
She slowly slithered inside her home with a shadow covering her eyes and a sad face, whenever she pa.s.sed near her servants, they would greet her, but Alice would not greet back, leaving them a bit surprised, but after seeing her face they just left her alone.
Later, she reached the throne room and sat over it, letting her tail lean on the floor, and then she started to think about what happened before.
"f.u.c.k you Alice..."
When she thought about that, she tightened her hold on the side of the throne and it cracked a bit.
"You eat like a d.a.m.ned whale"
"You do nothing really useful!"
"You are making me poor…"
The more she thought about Marco"s words, the more she couldn"t breathe regularly, until she covered her face with her hands and cried, in the room you could hear only her sobbings.
Alice: *Sob* "G.o.ddammit Marco… "
While she was crying over what happened between Marco and her, someone came in the throne room.
?: Hey Alice, what happened? I heard you were in the castle so I came here.
Alice opened a bit her hand and found Tamamo standing at the center of the room with a worried face and looking at her. She immediately closed her hand and unsuccessfully tried to hold her tears.
Alice: I-It"s nothing…
Tamamo frowned and walked to Alice, before grabbing her arms and moved the hands away from her face, revealing the face of a suffering woman who was letting out waterfalls from her red eyes and gritted teeth.
This made Tamamo really angry from whatever did this to Alice and asked.
Tamamo: What happened…
Alice: N-N-Not-
Tamamo: Please Alice, what happened?
Tamamo implored her to tell how did Alice become like this, and she talked…
Alice: I-It"s Marco… I… I did many bad things… And… *Hic* And he didn"t want me anymore… *Sob*
Tamamo was enraged from what she heard, and tightened her arms, but before she could do anything, Alice grabbed her arms with haste.
Alice: Please… Don"t hurt him… Just… J-Just watch him… And tell me what is he doing sometimes… Please…
Tamamo was gritting her teeth, but some seconds later she took deep breaths and calmed down, before saying.
Tamamo: Alright… I will spy him and report. I will take my leave.
Alice nodded and Tamamo tightly hugged her before teleporting away.
Alice: Marco… At least be safe…
[Meanwhile]
In Sentora, precisely at the desert of Safina region, there was a small orange-red dot moving in the desert, if you look more closely, you could find a small orange-red fox cub slowly walking in the forest with a big backpack that was held from one of his 9 tails.
It was a nine-tailed fox cub, Marco, he was in that form to avoid h.o.r.n.y monsters, the sun was really bright, the sand was scorching hot, but thanks to Marco"s wind manipulation he isn"t even sweating a bit.
Marco: Where the f.u.c.k is Sabasa Kingdom…
Then Marco tried to look around, trying to find any monster to ask, and found a Scorpion Girl resting nearby, so he decided to talk to her, even if she is a bit similar to spiders, he didn"t care much.
It was like a condition that whatever was a spider or in it"s family tree then it"s evil, this is why Marco was afraid of spiders, there may be scorpions, insects or crabs, but spiders it"s a big NOPE.
When Marco was at the Scorpion Girl"s side and nudged her with his paw a few of times until the Scorpion Girl slowly woke up, she used her pinchers to rub her eyes before looking around, but didn"t found anyone.
Scorpion Girl: What"s this? A joke?
Marco: I"m down there.
The Scorpion Girl heard a childish male voice, so she thought it may be some human kid, but when she looked down, she didn"t expected to find a nine tailed fox with a big backpack, she raised an eyebrow and then she heard him talk again.
Marco: Can you help me with a thing?
Scorpion Girl: ...What are you?
Marco had a annoyed face and tilted his head.
Marco: What? Never seen a nine tailed fox?
Scorpion Girl: There"s Tamamo from the Heavenly Knights… But she is a monster, you…
Marco: Yeah yeah, I am not a monster girl like you see every d.a.m.n kilometer of this planet, pleasure I"m Marco.
Then he raised his right paw, while the Scorpion Girl used her pincher to gently grab the paw and shook it a little.
Scarlet: I"m Scarlet, so what you needed from me?
Marco: Oh right, I want to know where is the Sabasa Kingdom, can you point me the way?
Scarlet: Oh, it"s there.
Then Scarlet used her tail to point a certain direction, Marco turned there and nodded before glancing back at Scarlet.
Marco: Alright, I will leave now, sorry to disturb you and bye.
Scarlet: Bye.
Then Marco used one of his tail to drag the backpack while walking where Scarlet told him to while she watched him leave before turning back to rest.
Some hours later, he still found only sand in the way...
Marco: ...f.u.c.king desert… They couldn"t make the d.a.m.n kingdom out from here… No, let"s ignore the gargantuan s.p.a.ce that there is 5 steps out from here and let"s build that s.h.i.tty castle at the center of the desert, what could go b.l.o.o.d.y wrong?! *Spit*
?: Hehehe…
Marco"s got gooseb.u.mps from the sudden giggle that scared the s.h.i.t out of him, and turned, finding an unexpected sight.
…
…
Tamamo.
…
Marco: "Oh f.u.c.k… She must have been sent from Alice after my a.s.s, and probably d.i.c.k… What do I do?!"
Tamamo looked down at Marco with a smirk and put down her fan before crouching down.
Marco: "Oh f.u.c.k, oh f.u.c.k, oh f.u.c.k, oh f.u.c.k!"
Tamamo slowly lifted an hand and leaned it to his head, slowly caressing his fur.
Tamamo: h.e.l.lo little nine tailed guy…
Marco was trembling under Tamamo"s gaze, thinking that he may either be killed or raped, then she removed the hand from his body, and grabbed it with both of her hands before standing up, lifting him. They were looking at each other"s eyes for some seconds before she spoke with a cute voice.
Tamamo: You don"t need to be afraid of me, I am someone gentle and cute.
But that didn"t calmed him down, he just continued to tremble.
Tamamo: ...Whatever… I want to ask you something important...
Marco: "Shiiiiiiit! Here she is…"

Tamamo: Have you seen a brown haired kid with red eyes around here? His name is Marco.
Marco: "…Huh?"
