The sword god turned into a blind fox girl

Chapter 9: Winter approaching with a legion of Knights



Sorry for not uploading yesterday, was preoccupied with the daytime empress of light and catching up with an old friend.

Also, this novel will be 30/70 on a slice of life and action, though this might upset some of you, it was what I was planning from the start.

Also also fun fact: the displayed age and mind status of Blade is 2147483647 which is the maximum number in an integer value in many of the coding languages.

similarly the displayed race of D*#*tujb# which is later discovered as Celestial is a shift cipher, and another one I cannot remember off by changing m-># and f->*, re-verting it would change into Dfmftujbm.

Shifting each letter of Dfmftujbm to the left will result in the character's Celestial.

I put these little ciphers into the chapters for my own enjoyment, so don't mind them.

Anyway enough about my rambling, enjoy your regularly scheduled programs of Fox's life

And once again thank you to mr @SpookeyTEK for proofreading/editing, truly relaxing when you dump your work of re-reading your chapter into some else's job

1 month later.

After the unknown assassination of Baron Aaden.

Commoners, mostly women, have often been seen roaming around the streets more, and some rumors have started going around that a Goddess disgusted by the baron's action has descended into the mortal realm to enact a divine punishment with her own hands. However, these rumors are baseless rumors with no real evidence.

Winter, which was approaching, has made many residents in Broad Meadow gather firewood and preserved food to survive the harsh winter this year around.

Blade, who roamed around the city, now wore a white blouse along with a blue sweater complimenting her silver hair, her skirt extending down to her feet which gave an impression of being reserved to any onlookers.

Her ears occasionally twitched at any sudden sounds and her tail swayed lazily as she walked.

Gradually becoming accustomed to her new body and mortal life, she has started to utilize her tail in mundane things like balancing her body or using it as a comfy seat.

Her body has grown with the new supply of foods she has access to, turning from the starved fox-kin who was once a slave to a young healthy woman in her early 20s.

She also started training her body by meditating using a body refinement technique every day, constantly breaking and mending her body until her progression reached the level of the Bone Forging rank.

"Miss Blade, looking beautiful as usual, what can I get for you today?" A butcher that Blade visited greeted her.

"Any poultry and eggs." She asked with her usual emotionless voice.

"Lucky for you we have a couple of chickens and a pack of eggs. Do you want the chicken to be whole or want me to chop it up?"

"Whole."

"That would be 16 silver but I'll give you a special discount for being pretty as well as being a regular customer. I'll take 5 silvers off from the price, what do you say? Pretty generous right?" The Butcher winked at Blade before going to the storage to retrieve some chicken carcasses and a pack of eggs.

Blade set 11 silver on the table and grabbed the bag that contained the chicken and a pack of eggs that was formatted in a 5x5 grid that was stacked 2 times and exited the butcher shop.

Children playing together as they laughed whole-heartedly as they pass by Blade.

"Oh, it's Miss Blade! It's good to see you." A woman who was overseeing the children's play greeted Blade. She was one of the many victims of Baron Aaden who was rescued by Blade. Wanting to show their gratitude, they spread the news of her achievement but were quickly shut down by Kanski.

'The murder of Baron is a pretty serious crime, so I would advise keeping the name involved a secret,' was Kanski's exact word.

So instead of directly saying it was Blade who did it, they changed it to a goddess who descended and struck down divine punishment.

Now out of prison, her dreadful life has turned into a life of babysitting the neighbor's kids, enjoying her moment as she is fond of kids.

"Kids come here." Clare called to the other kids and the two went to the two.

"Say hello to Miss Blade." Both turned to Blade, one girl had auburn hair while the other had deep green hair.

""Hello Miss Blade!"" One with the auburn turned to her tail that was swaying lazily.

"Miss, why is there a tail on your butt? Are you an animal?"

"Haha, you're not entirely wrong but you shouldn't call people animals. Miss Blade here is different from us, but it doesn't make her less human." Clare patted her head and turned to Blade.

"Sorry if that offended you in any way, she was just allowed to go outside and doesn't know much about the outside world."

After saying their goodbyes, Blade continued before stopping in front of a house that used to be the location of the 'drowsy Dean' Inn.

Opening the door, she saw an empty house that was fit to house two occupants, equipped with a kitchen, a bathroom, a dining room, and two bedrooms that were located upstairs.

Though uneventful, her life has now become peaceful, a calming world away from the destructive figure she once was in her last life.

Preparing to cook a meal for herself, a shout from outside the house interrupted her.

"Attention, all citizens! Gather here! This is a royal decree, and avoidance will be labeled as treason and will be imminently executed!!" Sighing, she decided to go investigate it with an empty stomach.
