Boosted Restart – A new chance in a different world

Chapter 377 – Reunion

Steph and Chloe had somewhat of an interesting night. After the fox-girl had offered to share her bed with Steph because she didn't want her to sleep on the sofa, the two had some slight issues with taking it easy and ended up making out a little.

This was not all, though. While they were at it already, the dog-girl also decided to share a part of her magic with Chloe because, according to Mira, this was the way to do it. In the end, both ended up with the same amount, which roughly correlated with around 80% of Sophia's authority. A more than respectable amount.

“Ah.” While they were still questioning the couple, Sophia’s ears suddenly started twitching a few times while her tail perked up.

“Stop that!” Maya immediately raised her voice. “Woah, that hasn’t happened in a while, but it’s still muscle memory, huh? I hate your ah’s!”

“Alright, then I won’t tell you what I just noticed.” The tiger started pouting.

“That’s even worse!” The cat-girl didn’t like that, either.

“You sure are complicated...”

“You’re the last one on the planet to say that to anyone!” The two were having fun. "On any planet, actually!"

“Err...?” Chloe looked slightly confused. “What is going on?”

“I noticed something with my detection magic.” Sophia smiled at her. “Something strong. Very strong. It seems to be heading right towards us.”

“Ohhh!” She liked the sound of that. “It has to be Feyfey, right?!”

“I sure hope so.”

“H-Hey!” Maya didn’t like that joke.

"How far away is she?!" The fox-girl was naturally getting excited.

“She’s a fast one~. It seems like she’ll be here in around an hour or two at the latest.”

“I can’t wait!”

“Let’s go!” Steph was also looking forward to it.

“Should we collect the wolves and wait for her at the entrance of the village? I bet they are also looking forward to seeing her again. After you two had your reunion, of course.” Sophia smiled at Chloe during the last part.

“Okay!”

Doing as planned, the girls left the treehouse and went to the inn above the village’s bar, as it seemed like Fen and Aura had stayed the night there.

----------------

“What the?!" The moment the wolves noticed the magic situation between Chloe and Steph, they immediately got loud. "What happened with you two?!"

“Why is your power on the same level…? Chloe used to have so much less, and Steph significantly more!" Aura sounded a little less shocked.

"The two had such steamy and hot sex that they ended up sharing their magic.” Maya still wasn't believing them.

“Really…?” The female wolf looked at the two.

“NO!” They raised their voices. “We did not have s-sex! It was just some kisses. Okay, many of them, but that was it!”

“Ah, I see.” Aura didn’t sound any less confused. “Wait, you two are dating? When did that happen?”

“Two days ago!” The couple got happier again.

“Congratulations…?” The feeling of having missed a lot was growing. “Fen, we’re staying in the mansion more often from now on! I feel so detached and out of the loop right now!"

“I don’t particularly mind.” The male wolf was fine either way.

“Anyway,” Sophia looked at the wolves. “Are you coming with us to welcome Fey? She’ll be here in an hour.”

“Eh?”

"How do you know…?" The two were confused yet again.

“She entered my detection range about 20 minutes ago. Well, I at least hope it’s her. The reaction I'm getting is super powerful, and it's heading right for us. It would be quite something if it's someone else…"

"S-Stop that already!" Maya glared at her. “Don’t jinx us!”

"Wait a moment…" Aura stared back at her. "Oh, you're right. I can detect something, too, now. Only barely, though. “20 minutes ago, with the speed I’m sensing, it wouldn’t have been even close to my range. Have you overtaken me with your reach?”

“I guess?” She tilted her head. “It has actually gotten so big that I’m getting difficulties guessing the exact distance.”

“You really are something else.”

“Ehehe~.”

Once that topic was dealt with, the group went to the outskirts of the village to wait for Feyani's arrival.

----------------

“Feyfey!” Not even an hour had passed when Chloe spotted a big ball of white fluff speeding along the path leading through the forest into the village and started running herself.

“She really missed her, huh?” Maya commented on her swift disappearance. “Well, I can’t blame her at all.”

“Fluffy!” The sisters had the exact same reaction while they were staring at the oversized full fox in the distance.

"Well, I can't say I'm surprised about that…" Aura reacted somewhat similarly to the cat-girl when she looked at the duo. “Can’t blame them, either.”

“By the way,” The cat-girl faced the wolves after having looked at the new fox in the distance a bit. “The red spots in her pure white fur, like the tip of her ears and tail, and some other strands… She always looked like that, right? It’s not leftovers from the human capital, is it?”

"No, she always had those red accents," Fen reassured her.

“Good…”

"She looks great!" Steph was having a good time. "Tails aside, she reminds me a little of Mira. She also was mostly white but had teal accents.”

“That sounds great!” Sophia sounded slightly envious. "I still can't believe you went ahead and met her without me!"

“You’re the last one who's allowed to complain about missed opportunities!" The voice of the dog-girl changed.

“Ah.” She had nothing else to say. "A-Anyway, Fey looks amazing! A welcome addition to the group!"

“Indeed!” Steph wasn’t angry for long.

“Chloe!” Noticing her daughter running up to her, Fey increased her speed even more. Once she was close enough to her, she jumped and transformed into a size about half as big as the wolves were right now mid-flight and landed in Chloe’s arms.

“I missed you so much!” She immediately tightly hugged the fox in her arms.

“I missed you, too! I’m sorry it took so long…”

“It’s alright! It wasn’t the same without you, but I had lots of fun! I made a lot of new friends, too!” The pink fox-girl gestured at the group behind them while saying so.

“That’s great! Eh…?” Looking at the group, Fey sounded quite confused and jumped back on the ground again while transforming to a size that roughly matched the wolves. “Fen…? Aura…?” She walked a little closer to them.

"Long time no see… I guess?" Aura greeted her while the male wolf nodded a few times.

“That’s putting it very lightly. Anyway, it’s great that the two of you are as inseparable as ever.”

"A-Ahaha…” The female wolf got incredibly awkward.

“What are you two doing here?”

“Err… I don’t even know where to start." Fen paused for a moment. "Well, it's mostly her fault." He then gestured at the blonde.

"Hey!" Sophia glared at him. "Well, it's not exactly negative and also kinda true, so…”

“And you are?” Fey focused on her.

“Sophia!”

“I see.” She kept mustering her. “I’m Feyanis. Why is a tiger here? Actually, wait a moment… your magic. Your magic… are you even a tiger?”

“E-Eh?!”

“Your magic, it’s blank. It’s the same as Canir’s. In fact, I believe it is his…” Fey paused for a moment. “Don’t tell me… are you his daughter? I thought it wasn't possible with his type of blank authority to have… HUH?!” She immediately froze when she took a quick look at the dog-girl next to her. “M-Mira…?”

“Steph.” She corrected the fox. "It's nice to meet you!"

"No, your magic… It's the same as Mira."

“Ahh!” The violet-haired girl connected the dots. “Mira blessed me with a portion of her magic to let me use it. I’m not related to her.”

“IT’S THE SAME IN MY CASE!” For some reason, Sophia had gotten extremely loud with her reply. “I am not, I repeat, I am NOT Canir’s daughter. I am DEFINITELY not!” Because it was important, she had to say it three times.

“Ahh!” Fey sounded incredibly relieved. “Also, I really understand why you felt the need to repeat it.” She faced Sophia again during that part. “What a curse this would’ve been… Still, why would those two bless you with a portion of their magic?” She tilted her head. “The only explanation I could imagine would be… Are you from a different world? One without magic, and you came here without reincarnating?"

“Yup.” Steph simply went ahead and confirmed it. There was no way she would keep secrets from her girlfriend’s mother, after all.

“Wow.” She had no better reaction ready.

“By the way,” Chloe spoke up again while pointing at herself. “Do you notice something about me, too, Feyfey?” She sounded incredibly happy.

“Hmm…? Eh?!” The fox sounded surprised yet again. “I didn’t realize earlier because it still feels the same, but… Chloe, why has your authority become so massive?!”

“Steph gave me some of hers because she wanted us to be the same! Isn’t she the sweetest?!”

“Ehehe~.” The dog-girl liked that a lot.

“What…? That should not be possible… How did you do that?”

"A-Ah.” The couple immediately started blushing in response.

"What is the meaning of that reaction?"

“Y-You see,” The pink fox panicked a little and tried a different approach. "A few days ago, Steph and I ended up in Mira’s domain by chance, and we met her! She's super nice! I totally get why you got along so well with her in the past, mom!"

“Wait…?” Fey couldn’t follow her.

“Mira told us so many things!” Chloe simply continued. “We really learned a lot! Why did you never tell me about her? I mean, you did mention her a few times, but never about that! You really shouldn't have kept that a secret..." She was talking about the part where they were actual friends. "So many things I never knew about you! She also told us more about Steph's authority and its quirks, including that she can share a part of it.” She let out the how part. “One thing led to another, and here we are!”

“…” Fey needed a minute. “Y-You… You met your… mother…?” All sorts of emotions were present in her voice.

“Yeah!” She gave her a big nod. “We explored a shrine of her and then… WHAT?!” It took her a moment before it clicked.

“WHAT?!” Everyone else had the same reaction.
