White Fox Reincarnation In The World Of TenSura

"What?! She died?!" A gentle-looking man exclaimed as he heard what came out of Shiro's mouth.

Shiro had been chatting with Rimuru and Yuuki Kagurazaka, the Grand Master of the Free Guild. As Shiro died in his past life way later than Rimuru did, he knows the outcomes of manga and anime that Rimuru was unable to see. Knowing that, Shiro happily told them the endings some of these stories, and even current arcs of the ones that haven't been finished yet during his time of passing. [Great Sage] boosting his memory helped him retell the stories in detail. {Author's Note: *COUGH* One Piece *COUGH*}

Kaz, on the other hand, has been sitting next to Shiro on the couch. He already knew that Shiro is an otherworlder but the fact that Yuuki and Rimuru are otherworlders as well surprised him.

He has been listening in to the three otherworlders to pass the time. He was curious about the fictional stories otherworlders have come to know and he didn't have anything to in the meantime.

Seeing Yuuki jump in ecstasy when Rimuru printed out copies of manga he's previously read made Shiro flabbergasted. He decided to keep his world-traveling ability a secret from Yuuki, lest he wants someone breathe down his neck and beg him to buy new volumes of manga and light novels in the modern world.

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot to tell you. A merchant called of Garde Myourmiles wants to invite you two to a dinner in one of his restaurants."

"A restaurant? Why?" Rimuru asked.

"It has something to do with the sky dragon you two subjugated."

'So he's made his move huh. I don't wanna say I didn't expect me being invited as well, but I couldn't help myself from at least saving a few soldiers.'

«A very admirable feat.»

'When did you start giving praises?'

«...»

Seeing [Great Sage] not reply Shiro was a little frustrated.

"Let's go meet this merchant then." Shiro said while looking at the blue blob.

=====================================================

"Damn.... what a fancy place." Shiro, Kaz, Rimuru, along with his students arrived at a luxurious restaurant. The kids, including Kaz had their jaws dropped while they entered.

As they entered the front door they were greeted by Garde Myourmiles.

"Welcome my benefactors!"

They exchanged their greetings one by one. Shiro and Rimuru sat at a table with Myourmiles while Kaz and the students sat at a separate table.

It wasn't long before the food was served. Shiro dug into the food almost immediately, savoring every bite.

Myourmiles was a bit surprised by Shiro's lack of etiquette while Rimuru simply sighed. He wasn't surprised by his adoptive son's behavior and he was already used to it as his students were also doing the same along with Kaz.

The night was long, Myourmiles chatted with Rimuru as they discussed plans for doing business when he revealed that he knew about Shiro and Rimuru's identities.

Shiro just listened to their discussions without butting in. He doesn't know anything about the trading business and he doesn't want to interfere with their partnership, as this would help Rimuru City to flourish.

Time passed quickly. Seeing that there's no harm in doing it himself, Shiro took the chance to tell Rimuru about the the location of the Dwelling of Spirits using the excuse that heard of its location during his adventures.

Rimuru felt grateful to Shiro for the information. Shiro felt good about it as well, as he'd rather have Rimuru get the information for free than paying for it just like what happened in the original story.

They went their separate ways, Rimuru and his students going back to the academy to investigate the location that Shiro gave while Shiro and Kaz went to a luxury hotel owned by Myourmiles' company.

=====================================================

In a VIP suite at a luxury hotel. Kaz just started sleeping. Shiro exited the shower wiping his hair and tails with a towel, still amazed at how modern Ingrassia's facilities are. Well that's to be expected from a world that constantly summons heroes to be used as weapons, something that Shiro disliked.

Shiro entered his bed and started thinking about what he should do next. There's still around six or so months before Rimuru goes back to Rimuru City, when the war happens.

Maybe he'll keep doing adventurer jobs during these six months? Garnering reputation as an adventurer might help him when the time comes that he has to reveal his identity. After all he isn't a slime like Rimuru who can change his appearance freely. He can just hide his tails and ears at most while wearing fake human ears which are non-functional.

As he was pondering in he thought he slowly fell asleep.

.

.

"Firus..."

"Mmm?"

"Wake up, Firus..."

"The hell? Who's there?"

Shiro woke up and found himself in a vast plain. Standing up, he looked around. There was nothing else but grass and a few flowers.

"Where the hell am I? I was just sleeping in the hotel..."

Shiro tried to consult [Great Sage], but strangely no response.

Confused, Shiro tried to explore the place. At first he just walked, then he tried to run. After seeing no issues with his body he tried to fly to explore in the sky.

"Goddammit!! Luckily no one's here to see that happen."

Muttering to himself, he ran off.

Hours passed and plains he's in seemed to be endless. He soon gave up.

He sat down in a lotus position and tried to urge his dimensional power. Blue flames appeared and engulfed him, but it didn't hurt him like normal fire.

Normally he could travel to another world as easy as breathing, but for some reason his power was suppressed, forcing him to put more effort.

Minutes passed by, and Shiro felt he was close to going back to his world when suddenly he felt a bone-chilling freeze crawl up his back.

He disabled his dimensional flames and dodged to the side.

He was shocked. He has never felt such extreme cold ever since he reincarnated all thanks to the extra skill: [Thermal Fluctuation].

He looked at where the source of this chill came from. He set his gaze upon a beautiful emitting a cold fog.

Looking at this beauty, she was the same as Shiro: a fox. Hair as white as snow with 2 fox ears at the top of her head and nine fluffy tails at her rear end. She looked like a female version of Shiro, except her eyes had a deep shade of blue, opposite of Shiro's fiery crimson eyes.

"Who are you?" Shiro asked while maintaining vigilance

"Firus... you've evolved." The woman spoke in a monotonous but affectionate voice.

"I'll ask again... who are you?"

"Hmm..."

She instantly appeared close to Shiro, her ample c.h.e.s.t almost touching.

Shiro was shocked once more, he didn't know how she did that. He wanted to ask [Great Sage] but she wasn't answering.

She placed her hand on Shiro's cheek, the cold rapidly spreading and freezing his body. Seeing this he fought back and released his flames. Hot flames pushed back the chill. Shiro grabber her hand that was on his cheek and pulled it away.

"Don't make me ask again. Who are you?"

"Neva."
