Chapter 32: Chapter 31: Fledgling Kitsune

As it turned out, finding the next place of interest wasn’t as easy as she thought it was going to be. She tried the park she and Amelia used to play at, but there was nothing there but a few fox dens. Admittedly there were a lot of foxes, and she made a bunch of conversions, but that wasn’t what Lia was looking for at the moment.

She had tried a couple more of their usual haunts, but only found more fox dens. By the third one, she was beginning to run low on modeling wax; the large chunk she had brought with her in her Dimensional Storage had run out and she was only working with what she had inside her. She had almost certainly hit the number that would be required for evolving into a fox monster, though, so that was fine.

She had given up on places she and Amelia used to hang out in, and had decided to walk to the church of commerce she used to attend instead. She passed by a few more foxes on the way, but there were no major obstacles, so she reached the church of commerce pretty quickly.

And, lo and behold, there was a note out front. Another pretty simple one! It read. You just have to pray at an altar and mean it. Should be easy-peasy.

Lia gave a nod and pushed her way through the flap in the door. The church was as empty as always used to be, meaning she didn’t have any trouble getting to the altar.

Umm…I know this is kind of awkward, since my takeover is going to affect the economy a lot, but…I wanted to give thanks to you for my good fortune. I understand it’s probably not your doing that got me reincarnated like this, but I wanted to thank you regardless. Um…I also wanted to wish that, until I can come and help them, that my family will be able to make enough to survive.

It was a pretty standard prayer, but it seemed to do the trick.
