[Luna POV]
I kissed Tamamo goodbye and went back to the others. When I got there, Grey was standing in the same spot that he was when I left.
“Luna, you need to talk with one of those beat kingdom princesses.” (Grey)
“Why?” (Luna)
“She noticed that you went somewhere. If it wasn’t for Pneuma, she would have said something.” (Grey)
“*Sigh* Well, at least it’s someone with a family that knows, even if it’s just one person.” (Luna)
“Hehe. I get what you’re going through. I had to hide my divine protection from people who weren’t as considerate as you when it comes to appraisal. It was a pain. Though you have it easier since no one can appraise you and, with an exception, no one can see through your illusions.” (Grey)
“Fufu. Guess I’ll go and sort this out then. Thanks for your help.” (Luna)
“No thanks needed, it was a pain for me as well.” (Grey)
He then turned around and disappeared as he stepped away from me. I used my stealth skill to go to the others. They were in the room we were in earlier with the exception of Titania. I sat in place of my illusion and it disappeared as I undid my stealth. Mio glanced at me for a second before returning her attention back to what she was doing. The only person blatantly staring at me was one of the twin beastkin from earlier.
“Can I help you?” (Luna)
She started to get fidgety and was about to speak when I interrupted her with telepathy.
“I think I know what you want to ask, but not here. Talk with Pneuma and set up a place for us to meet in private at the Academy. Send the location to General Lia’s home and I’ll talk to you then.” (Luna)
She nodded her head. It was then that Pneuma looked over at the princess she came here with and me and she went pale.
“It’s fine Pneuma, I’ll explain things to her later, so don’t make a fuss out of it.” (Luna)
Pneuma nodded her head at me.
“Miss Luna.” (Zeke)
“Yes, Prince Zeke.” (Luna)
“Thank you for earlier. Both the carriage and my arm. I wasn’t strong enough to do anything but get thrown away like a ragdoll.” (Zeke)
“Chin up, Zeke. You now know what you lack, so all that’s left to do is go out and get it.” (Luna)
“Yes. I will do what I can, for me, Shana, and my kingdom.” (Zeke)
“Good. I look forward to seeing where your resolve will take you.” (Luna)
“Luna, did you eat something weird recently, this is the second time you’ve given good advice in the same month.” (Velvet)
“Really Velvet, I was trying to keep a good image in front of people I don’t know.” (Luna)
“Hehehe.” (Velvet)
“…*Sigh* You got me this time Velvet.” (Luna)
“Hehe.” (Velvet)
It seems like Velvet’s actions helped lighten the mood in the room and we could start having more relaxed conversations.
“Right, before we talk any more, we should introduce ourselves. I am Selene la Savanna.” (Selene)
“I am Selena la Savanna. Nice to meet you in person.” (Selena)
“I remember seeing you at the wedding. Did Lobo say anything about me after that?” (Luna)
“Not you in particular, but he and General Deacon like to gush about us when they are together. Oh, and Lady Amagi visited recently and she and my mother talked about a lot of things, including their daughters.” (Selena)
“Ah, it’s a good thing mom took a break from all that paperwork, she needed it.” (Luna)
“Hehe. Indeed, that was a complaint she had along with one about how her daughter doesn’t come home as much as she should.” (Selena)
“Gah!” (Luna)
{Ufufufu. You’re off your game, Luna.}
‘Uuuuu. That stupid mongrel is at fault. I don’t know how, but it is.’
I was about to speak up when a clock in the room chimed. We all looked at it and Pneuma’s group stood up.
“We must go before it gets to late, we have classes and such tomorrow. I look forward to seeing you again, Luna.” (Pneuma)
“I feel the same. You’ll have to tell me everything that’s been going on here.” (Luna)
They left the room and now it was just me and my party.
“Should we leave as well, or do we have to wait for Lia?” (Luna)
“Lia told us when we came here that we could leave when we wanted since she’ll be here late dealing with things.” (Velvet)
“Alright, then let’s go. I think Ophidia and Skadi should be back.” (Luna)
“They missed so much.” (Soleil)
“It was probably for the best nya. Well, at least this past week nya.” (Mio)
“True. I don’t know what would have happened if both Skadi and Ophidia were here. Anyway, let’s go brag about hunting an S-rank monster.” (Luna)
I teleported us to Lia’s home to find Ophidia and Skadi sitting on a couch and being extra clingy.
“Fufufu. Seem like the two of you enjoyed yourselves.” (Luna)
“Indeed master. I’ve hardly enjoyed something as much as I enjoyed that.” (Ophidia)
“I agree. I understand why you and Tamamo like to lock yourselves away for so long.” (Skadi)
Velvet, Soleil, and Mio started blushing.
“Fufu. Anyway, guess what happened with us while the two of you were away.” (Luna)
“Knowing you, master, it could be any number of things.” (Ophidia)
“Hmm. Judging by your expression, whatever it was, you got some good stuff out of it.” (Skadi)
“Yep. It was an S-rank monster called…something. How was it pronounced?” (Luna)
“D’yavol Tron.” (Soleil)
“Yeah, that.” (Luna)
“Oh, one of those. Bring some alcohol form that to the dwarves and they’ll worship you like a hero. They even have a funny name for that monster.” (Skadi)
“What is it nya?” (Mio)
“A vodka hydra. It’s funny since it’s not actually a hydra.” (Skadi)
“That is funny. But something else happened as well.” (Luna)
My sudden shift to a serious tone caused the two of them to change into a serious mood as well.
“We ran into a certain mongrel.” (Luna)
“The Collector nya.” (Mio)
“Ugh. Is it gone?” (Skadi)
“Better, it’s dead.” (Luna)
“Really!? That’s surprising. That thing somehow always got out of things.” (Skadi)
“Yeah, not this time. Me and Tamamo made sure of that.” (Luna)
“So, how bad was it?” (Skadi)
“Lots of things nya. Most notably was nearly causing an international incident and lese majeste of the highest order nya.” (Mio)
“Ooooh. Enough to get Grey to revoke his status, nice. Guess we don’t have to worry about running inti that in the future now.” (Skadi)
“Yep. That’s about all we did while you weren’t here.” (Luna)
“I see. Just as action packed as I’d expect.” (Skadi)
“Yep. I’m off to bed now, dealing with that tired me out mentally.” (Luna)
We all then went to bed. Once I got to my room, I talked with Tamamo for a bit before slowly falling asleep.
Chaos Realm:
...
Order: What's wrong, Payto?
Hmm? Oh, nothing. *Moves closer to Order*
Order: *Does the same to me*
Quiet times where no one else is here are nice too. Especially with you here now.
Order: I agree.
*Both lean in and kiss.*
