[Luna POV]
While we were on our way back to the temple to get Velvet and Soleil, we decided to walk instead of teleport so that we could stop if we found anything interesting. So far we only found a few things that we ended up buying. As we were about to enter the temple district again, we found a nice little clothing shop and we decided to check it out. Inside we found several clothes with interesting designs. They were practical for adventuring, but also stylish enough to be worn as casual wear.
“Anything catch you eye, Ophidia?”
“A few things.”
“You want to try them on?”
“Why not.”
Ophidia picked up the things that she was interested in while I continued to look around. Eventually I found something that I really liked and decided to go and try it on. I made my way to the changing room and went inside.
{I like that very much, Luna. It’s very fitting for you.}
‘Thanks. I think I’m going to make this my main wardrobe, though I might make a few adjustments here and there. The sleeves are a bit much if I wanted to use my melee weapons.’
{You do have a skill to help with that, so go for it.}
I stuck my head out of the changing room and called out to a clerk. When they came over to me I asked if I could pay for the clothes and wear them out of the shop. They said yes and I handed over the money. When I left the dressing room, I found Ophidia waiting for me.
“Did you end up buying any of the things you liked?”
“I did, I put them in my inventory. I can see you did the same.”
“Yep.”
“Though I am as ignorant as it gets to ‘fashion,’ I must say that those clothes really suit you master.”
“Thanks. Tamamo said the same thing.”
We then left the shop and finally went back to the temple. When we arrived, we went to find Velvet and Soleil. We eventually found them in a small garden on the temple grounds.
“Hello you two.” (Luna)
“Hello.” (Ophidia)
When they turned around to face us, they immediately noticed my change in clothes.
“I see you went around shopping for a bit on your way back.” (Soleil)
“Yeah, if you want, I tell you where the shop I got this from is later.” (Luna)
“Please do.” (Velvet)
“Have the two of you eaten anything yet?” (Luna)
“No, we thought the two of you would probably bring us something.” (Soleil)
“And you would be correct.” (Luna)
I pulled out the rest of the food me and Ophidia bought earlier and handed it over to them. Once they finished eating, they stood up.
“Shall we head to the guild now?” (Velvet)
“Sure. Do you want to teleport there or walk?” (Luna)
“Teleporting sounds fine to me.” (Velvet)
“I agree with Velvet.” (Soleil)
“Got it. Once we finish everything we do today, I’ll tell you where that shop is and the two of you can go on a small date there.” (Luna)
“Sounds good to me.” (Soleil)
“Maybe I should bring Skadi there one day.” (Ophidia)
“You can try it.” (Luna)
With that, we teleported to the guild. Instead of bringing us to the entrance, I brought us to the third floor. It was as empty as yesterday and Mio was still sleeping at the bar. When we arrived, I thought I saw her ear twitch, but she didn’t make a move after that.
“Let’s go see if anything new has been posted.” (Velvet)
We all went over to the board and started looking over it. There weren’t any new quests on the board so we were trying to figure out what to do. While we were doing that, a guild employee came up to us.
“Excuse me, are you Miss Luna?”
“I am.” (Luna)
“The guild master would like to speak with you.”
“I’ll be right there, then. You three, keep looking for a quest, I’ll go and see what this is about.” (Luna)
“““Ok.”””
I followed the employee up to the guild master’s room and entered when prompted to. When inside, I saw Ibuki and an old butler sitting across from each other.
“Hello again, Luna. Sorry to call you in here out of the blue.” (Ibuki)
“It’s no problem. All we were doing was looking for a quest to do.” (Luna)
“All right then. Allow me to introduce you, this is Seb, the butler of General Damon.” (Ibuki)
The butler then stood up and gave a polite bow.
“Like Lady Ibuki said, my name is Seb. I came here to extend an invitation to my lord’s home. He wishes to greet you.” (Seb)
“I will gladly accept this invitation. Is it alright if my party also joins me?” (Luna)
“Yes. That is fine.” (Seb)
“Very well. I will go and tell them that our plans have changed slightly.” (Luna)
“I will go and wait at the carriage then. Thank you for accepting.” (Seb)
Saying that, he left the room.
“Before you go, may I ask where you are staying at and for how long? It will be helpful to know so I can forward any messages to you.” (Ibuki)
“We’re staying at the Temple of Night.” (Luna)
“Oh. That’s an odd place to stay.” (Ibuki)
“We helped the residents there with a little problem they were having and they are letting us stay there as thanks for that. As for how long we’re staying here, for now it’ll only be until next month, then I’ll have to head home for a bit. After that, we’ll be back for I don’t know how long.” (Luna)
“I see. Thank you for telling me.” (Ibuki)
“If that’s all, I’ll be heading out.” (Luna)
“Very well.” (Ibuki)
I left the room and went back to the third floor. I found everybody still standing around the quest board and I walked up to them.
“I’m back and there has been a change in plans. General Damon has invited up to see him and I accepted the invite.” (Luna)
“Ok then. We can come back later and decide on what to do then.” (Velvet)
We headed down to the entrance to the guild and found a fancy carriage waiting for us. Seb stood next to the door and opened it for us when he saw us. He held his hand out to assist us like a gentleman and each of us accepted to be polite. Once all of us were onboard, he climbed onto the coachman’s seat and we started moving.
“Ugh. I would have expected Grey or some other otherworlder to introduce suspension for carriages by now. I’m going to need to talk to Blake about this later.” (Luna)
“What is that?” (Soleil)
“Something that decreases the shaking you feel while moving in something like this.” (Luna)
“That would be very nice.” (Velvet)
We continued to chat like that for a while when we felt the carriage start slowing down. When it stopped and Seb opened the door, we saw a very large mansion in front of us.
“Let me be the first to welcome you all.” (Seb)
He assisted us out of the carriage and led us inside.
Chaos Realm:
*Snap*
Tamamo: Again?
It's not affecting anything, just doing a favor for one of my regular guests.
Tamamo: Ok then.
I wonder how this is going to play out.
Tamamo: You don't already know?
It's complicated. This particular time, I know roughly what's going to happen, but not the details. At least for now. As time goes on, I'll know more and more.
Tamamo: I see.
