[Soleil POV]
While all of us were sitting around and eating breakfast, I suddenly heard big sis laughing like she had lost her mind.
“Fuahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!” (Luna)
“Umm nya? Was that Lunya nya?” (Mio)
“Yes. And by the sound of it, she’s letting her kitsune nature take over again.” (Soleil)
“That won’t end well.” (Velvet)
We all waited for big sis to come here and join us so we could get whatever she was going to do out of her system, but she never came. While we were waiting, the door to the room opened and General Lia came in.
“Oh, hello everyone. Why do you all look like that?” (Lia)
“We were expecting Luna. Did you not hear her laughing earlier?” (Skadi)
“I did. Anyone know what that was about anyway?” (Lia)
“Ever heard of kitsune nature?” (Soleil)
“Yeah……oh. Should I be worried?” (Lia)
“Not sure. With big sis, it could be a simple prank or teasing to trapping us in an illusion for ‘training.’” (Soleil)
“*Sigh* Well, if she’s not here, then shouldn’t we go and see what’s going on?” (Lia)
“Probably. Now, who will we send?” (Ophidia)
Silence. We all looked at one another.
“*Sigh* I guess I’ll go.” (Soleil)
“Are you sure, Soleil?” (Velvet)
“Yes. I figure that she would go a little easy on me.” (Soleil)
“Alright, but if needed, run back to me.” (Velvet)
“I doubt I’d be able to escape, but I’ll do my best.” (Soleil)
I got up from my seat and walked to the room big sis was staying in. I hesitantly knocked on the door but got no answer. I then opened the door and walked in to find the room empty.
“Please don’t be an illusion. Please don’t be an illusion. Please don’t be an illusion.”
I looked around for a bit and saw a piece of paper laying on the ground. I walked over and picked it up.
[Whoever finds this please bring it to my party. I’ve dealt with the cult so we can feel free to relax and do whatever in the Elf Nation. I’m off to spend two weeks with Tamamo, so don’t look for me. Also, don’t come to the island, none of you will be able to get to it.]
“…”
I turned around and went back to everyone, sat down next to Velvet, and let out a long sigh.
“What’s wrong, Soleil?” (Velvet)
Instead of saying anything, I just placed the letter on the table. Velvet picked it up and read it before passing it around. After everyone had read the letter, they all let out a collective sigh.
“…” (Lia)
“Is something wrong?” (Soleil)
“She left to deal with the cult this morning. How did she manage to deal with it this fast?” (Lia)
“You read the letter. She’s spending two weeks with her wife alone, that is all the motivation she needed.” (Velvet)
“I see.” (Lia)
Silence.
“So. What do we do nyow nya?” (Mio)
“I guess we can just go around and see the city. Do some quests if we feel like it. Whatever we want really.” (Skadi)
“Sounds good to me, I’ve been meaning to take Velvet out on some dates, so this works out well.” (Soleil)
“Same, I’d like to go places with Skadi.” (Ophidia)
“…Guess I’ll take some naps or something nya.” (Mio)
“You don’t want to do anything else, Mio?” (Soleil)
“Eh, what can I do nya? I don’t have someone like the rest of you nya. And I like napping nya. Though I do get the feeling that I’ve been doing it more often nya. I wonder why nya?” (Mio)
“Didn’t you get a blessing or something?” (Ophidia)
“That might be why nya.” (Mio)
“You guys are so laid back.” (Lia)
“Haha. Why wouldn’t we be?” (Skadi)
“Well, I would think you’d all have some kind of reason to go everywhere you do or some goal to reach.” (Lia)
“I do have a goal, but it requires big sis to be here.” (Soleil)
“Same nya.” (Mio)
“I’m here because of Ophidia mostly. Though I also enjoy traveling places with everyone.” (Skadi)
“I’m here since it’s fun to be with everyone.” (Velvet)
“I follow master because it’s better than roaming around a jungle, and for Skadi.” (Ophidia)
“Hehehe. I should have expected that from people close to Luna. Now, is anyone here well versed in things to do with spirits?” (Lia)
“I’m fairly knowledgeable.” (Skadi)
“Then can I ask some things?” (Lia)
“Go ahead.” (Skadi)
“First, can spirits enter a relationship with a mortal?” (Lia)
“…I don’t know. I’ve never seen it happen, but that doesn’t mean it can’t.” (Skadi)
“*Sigh*” (Lia)
“What made you ask that question nya?” (Mio)
“I think Dia wants something like that with me. I’m not completely sure, but I had a small talk with her this morning just after Luna left and it seemed like she was trying to flirt with me. I could just be reading too much into this though.” (Lia)
“Hmmm. Sorry, I don’t think I can help with any of that. I’m no expert when it comes to individual spirits. Especially when it comes to a new type of spirit like Dia. You’d have to either ask a god or Luna, and even if you ask Luna, it’s more like you’d be indirectly asking Lady Tamamo.” (Skadi)
“This seems like it might turn into something interesting, doesn’t it Velvet?” (Soleil)
“It does. I wonder what will ultimately end up happening?” (Velvet)
“Well, all we can do is watch on the side, but it’ll be entertaining.” (Soleil)
“Hehehe nya. Maybe I’ll take a few less naps if it’s to watch this nya.” (Mio)
“I don’t mean to offend anyone, but are you guys just bored or something?” (Lia)
“Well, aside from going and doing things with our partners or in Mio’s case, napping, then yes. At least until something else happens.” (Soleil)
“…” (Lia)
“Hehehehe.” (Soleil)
“Soleil, stop messing with her.” (Velvet)
“Fine.” (Soleil)
“You let it slip a bit Soleil nya.” (Mio)
“I’m not as bad as big sis, so it should be fine.” (Soleil)
“That’s true nya.” (Mio)
“Hahaha. Is it always like this with all of you?” (Lia)
“For the most part.” (Skadi)
“Hahahaha. Well, I have to get back to work, if any of you need anything, let me know and I’ll get someone to help you.” (Lia)
General Lia then left the room and it was just us again.
“Now, let’s go look around the city, Velvet. We have two weeks to of this, so let’s make the most of it.” (Soleil)
“Alright.” (Velvet)
The two of us then left the tree mansion to explore.
Chaos Realm:
Order: Now that I think about it, are none of Luna's party wary of Soleil? I mean, she is a kitsune like Luna, so shouldn't she also have the kitsune nature to mess with people?
She does, she just redirects the urges it give her into more productive things. For example, she used its drive to improve herself so that she could join the party earlier than she would have otherwise.
Order: I see. Then why doesn't Luna do the same thing?
Maybe because she has more fun when she doesn't? I don't really know. You'd have to ask her yourself.
Order: I guess I will the next time she comes here then.
Sounds good.
