Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Witch Aiko was cackling like a child, attracting a lot of attention from everyone.

”Oh...” Mei almost facepalmed seeing Aiko play around like that.

”Whoa...” Danji didn’t expect Aiko to create something like that for the very first time.

”That looks like fun~” The Twins’ eyes sparkled. They were clearly excited about this.

”Is this normal...?” The bird lady believed she already got used to the little Fox’s shenanigans, but that appeared to be not the case.

What did Aiko make to make everyone react like that?

A cannon from the Empire where she ’retrieved’ Feifei and a powerful one at that.

*BOOOOM*

The cannon roared as Witch Aiko sat on top of it, letting it rock with her.

”Hahahaha~!” Witch Aiko laughed again, it was so much fun to destroy things from a distance, and especially if it was as loud as a thunder~!

”Hmmm~” Witch Aiko hummed happily as she fired the cannon here and there, but she soon became bored and bored Aiko is scary Aiko.

She immediately enlarged the cannon, not only making it louder, but now it had enough force that the cannon itself moved backwards.

”...” Mei’s expression was quite entertaining as she wanted to scold Aiko, but also let her have her fun.

”I wonder if riding that is fun~?” Yuxi commented, appearing near Mei and Danji.

Mei groaned, now even the Twins were interested in this... ”Is that really that impor-”

*BOBOOOOOOM*

”She added more cannons to it?!” Mei groaned even more when she realised that Aiko wouldn’t stop any time soon.

...

Witch Aiko kept cackling as she added different sizes and each of them varied in force, speed and accuracy.

It was quite fun experimenting like this, reminding her why Moon Aiko liked to experiment.

’I wonder if I can make it even bigger...’ Witch Aiko licked her lips as she made the cannon even bigger than before.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

The cannon’s force was not dispersed properly, so the cannon twisted and squished Witch Aiko.

Fortunately as this was a dream she was unharmed, but she had this huge grin on her lips.

”Hehehehe~” Witch Aiko was plotting something devious, making everyone shudder.

-----

”Say, can we leave...?” The bird lady was suddenly scared of her life. She saw the Fox clearly be squished, but she just shrugged it off and made even more bizarre creations!

”No, you will suffer with us.” Mei smiled from ear to ear, but it was quite a chilling smile. She held the bird lady’s left shoulder.

”We can’t finish this tea party without you.” Danji’s smile was similar to Mei’s and she held the bird lady’s right shoulder.

”Let’s play~” Yuxi wanted to jump down and join Aiko, but she was stopped by Wanshu.

”First we need to entertain guests.” Wanshu immediately scolded her, but she also wanted to join Aiko in her fun.

”...” The bird lady sobbed quietly as she was dragged to the table created by the Twins...

-----

Witch Aiko finished her creation. A cannon on wheels! Now every time she fired, she should be able to move, but that was not all! She also made it so that the front wheels could turn, just in case she needed that.

”Fiiiiiireeeeee~!” Witch Aiko shouted as the cannon roared.

*BOOOOOOOOM*

The cannon moved as Witch Aiko predicted, but...

”Eh?” Witch Aiko was still in the same place, where the cannon was supposed to be, but because it was so smooth, she was left behind as the cannon just rolled away!

Stolen story; please report.

”Eh?!” Witch Aiko realised her blunder and chased after the cannon. She was flustered that her grand plan didn’t work, making her more adorable than usual.

-----

”If only she stayed like this.” Mei sighed. While normal Aiko was fine, this cute Aiko was the best.

”As long as she can play, why does it matter?” Danji rolled her eyes. She liked the bewitching Aiko the best.

”Can we join her now?” The Twins said it in unison.

”Can I leave now...?” The bird lady felt like she was the odd person here. Sure, she was plenty chaotic and vengeful, but she couldn’t match the energy of this group.

”No.” All of them said in unison. If they had to stay, she would stay too!

-----

Witch Aiko finally caught up with the cannon. She used the primitive wheels to turn it around before firing it. However, before she actually fired it, she tied herself to the cannon.

Why not make seats?

”Where is the fun in that?” Witch Aiko snorted unhappily as she lit the cannon up.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

The cannon roared once more and this time it felt like her spine snapped in half from the force.

Fortunately, Witch Aiko was plenty strong in dreams, so this would be fixed very quickly, but it was still shocking how it happened to her.

”Next time chairs...” Witch Aiko groaned as her spine snapped back to its rightful place.

She was still some way before she arrived towards the tower Mei and Danji were building, so she would use a chair this time.

She made a cosy chair that would be soft and nice to sit in. Witch Aiko then readied her body before-

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

The cannon roared again, and sudden acceleration overtook her body.

*Snap*

And as expected, another part of her body was snapped backwards, this time it was her neck.

Witch Aiko was quite pissy about it, since once she solved one thing another popped up.

She waited until the cannon stopped before grabbing her own head and snapping it back in place.

”I’m glad this is a dream.” Witch Aiko wiped her non-existent sweat, before looking around.

She couldn’t see Mei or anybody else, which meant that she could progress her next genius plan!

The flying cannon!

Since she couldn’t approach the Moon with ’face’, then she would just arrive there with a cannon!

However, this ’instrument’ needed a few adjustments.

First was noise. No matter how much Witch Aiko liked it, it was too loud and if she fired multiple of them in succession it would hurt her head. As such, an oversized ’silencer’ was put in front.

Another issue was ’steering’. Sure, the main explosion would be able to direct her, but she had no way of turning in the air since this place didn’t have normal abilities like the outside world.

That meant she would have to add a few more- No, a few dozen more cannons to it! That way she would be able to steer it while also helping the acceleration!

And that’s how 100-barrel monstrosity was born and the tales the Twins would subject new Foxes to... but that is a story for another time.

”FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~!” Witch Aiko laughed as the main cannon blasted her upwards.

The force was great enough that it pinned Aiko to the cannon, making her face funny due to the wind that was suddenly whistling at her face.

The ’Moon’ also had a funny expression as that monstrosity was approaching it.

She had no intention of stopping until she made a hole into the ’Moon’!

”HAHAHAHA!” The ridiculous Witch Aiko was laughing at the ’Moon’ , terrifying it even more. At this point the ’Moon’ was trying to hop away from her, that’s how scary she was...

However, Witch Aiko just corrected her course with a few blasts from the cannons, allowing her to aim right at the ’Moon’.

-----

”...” Mei just stared blankly. They spent so much time building this tower, yet Aiko just...

”I wonder if she can make a hole into the ’Moon’. It was creepily staring at us for a while, so it’s nice to see it like that.’ Danji nodded her head seriously, quite liking this idea.

”Crash crash crash~!” The Twins kept chanting while the bird lady was trying to disappear from where she was sitting, since she didn’t expect this kind of lunacy from these unassuming Foxes...

----

*Crash!*

Witch Aiko crashed head on into the ’Moon’ but it didn’t seem like it did anything to it. Soon, the cannons’ lost their momentum, making them slowly start to fall to the ground.

”Fueh-” Witch Aiko didn’t anticipate this again, so she was at a loss for words. The firepower of this thing was a lot, but the ’Moon’ seemed unharmed, making this whole thing even more ridiculous than before.

As she was falling to the ground, she pondered what she should do about this. However, nothing came to mind, other than just making it bigger! And bigger she did!

The cannon was now twice the size and instead of the smaller ones, she added those next to the main barrel.

The ’Moon’ was flustered, since it didn’t expect the Fox to just twist this space for her amusement and even threaten it with it!

”Let’s call it the vaporiser v.3.” Witch Aiko nodded her head seriously, like she was some kind of sage. It was a ridiculous name, but it had quite the nice ring to it, at least for her...

”Fire~” Witch Aiko didn’t scream this time, since it would get old too quickly. Instead, she spoke normally, making this whole situation that much more terrifying...

*BBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOM*

The cannons roared as they barraged the strange ’Moon’ like it was supposed to hurt her.

Witch Aiko didn’t really care about this place, but this was good entertainment for her.

-----

”We should always keep her occupied.” Mei quickly realised that if Aiko was bored, things would escalate a bit too quickly, making her possibly endanger everyone around her...

”That’s easy to say.” Danji rolled her eyes. While she liked the bewitching Aiko the most, keeping her company was quite... exhausting.

”Can we play with her now?” The Twins wanted to test something too, but seeing the duo act so seriously they never really got the chance to go down.

”Is this normal...?” The bird lady gulped nervously. She was now apologising in her mind to her parents for being a brat in her younger years...

-----

Witch Aiko crashed down, there was not much damage to the ’Moon’, but it was definitely shaking like it was scared of her.

Witch Aiko just kept smiling, making this whole situation that much more scary and ridiculous, but she wouldn’t be the one who would lose her sleep over this. She would make the person who created this place suffer to the best of her ability~!
