The Punishment (Kitsune Fanfic)

[PalletTown]

"Sigh," Kiyoko lounged. "What is wrong, Lady Otomo?," chimed a concerned Komari. "I just performed a divination," Kiyoko rubbed her full belly, "and this will be my last one. I just wish I have more in me."

"Are you kidding me! You want more! You and your husband never stopped. You kept churning out more and more. Keros had to personally intervene several times to prevent you from getting a 10th tail. Do you know what kind of lengths I had to go through to ensure this colony could feed itself? Do you know how hard it is to ensure all your children had a match? I had to match them with itinerate nobles, peasants, foreigners, merchants. MERCHANTS! For Keros sake!"

"Your brood is so widespread that they are used as a communication service. Your clan is the most powerful just from sheer numbers. The emperor had to lift the ban on cousin marriage due to mathematical necessity."

"Oh my Keros. This is my punishment. The punishment for my failures to you centuries ago."

In the background a fox statue grinned just a little bit wider.

Joke aside, when thinking about how your and Kiyoko linage may expand in such a rate, I think there would be a Kinu future's event that show how Kinu (Hime) have to somehow balance the interest and power between the Old Country's other Noble Clan and her colony.

When I am done making kits with my beloved kitsune wife, the end credits better mention how the Winter City and Northern Marches were reduced to hollow, enervated husks of elves, lupines, and minotaurs by the sheer logistical nightmare of feeding so many energy vampires.
Or at least, a vignette about how they all had to band together to stop the new foxen horde shortly after the demon horde was dealt with.

Edit: On an unrelated note... based on my bestest dragon-girl/kobold Lyric, I assume my ending vignette will also have a Brienne-sized village mother and a colony of jungle kobolds that deplete all the gold and electrum from the Frost Marches region... resulting in the story either leaving a barren metal poor region or how that fate was averted by a sudden, unseasonable blizzard that sent the whole colony into torpor.
