Chapter 187: Fluff Time
Chapter 187: Fluff Time
[Luna POV]
Once outside of the guild, we stopped to discuss what we were going to do.
Since tonight is a full moon, I say we dont start making our way to the Elf Nation until tomorrow. Is that fine with everyone? (Luna)
Sounds good to me nya. (Mio)
I agree. I have something I want to do with Velvet, so it works out well. (Soleil)
What do you want to do? (Velvet)
Youll see. Im assuming well be staying at Nias place? (Soleil)
Ill tell her were here. (Luna)
Me and Skadi agree as well. (Ophidia)
We do? (Skadi)
Yes. (Ophidia)
We do. (Skadi)
Then thats settled. Everyone is free to do whatever. Meet up either here or at the castle gate in the evening. Ill go and tell Nia were here. (Luna)
At that, we split up. Soleil took Velvet towards the shopping district, and I felt that Ophidia teleported somewhere with Skadi.
Heh. Seems like Soleil and Ophidia had the same idea. (Luna)
What do you mean nya? (Mio)
Youll see when they come back later. (Luna)
Alright nya. (Mio)
[Soleil POV]
Soleil, where are we going? (Velvet)
Youll see when we get there. (Soleil)
Since the other day when big sis saw Velvet drinking my blood and we said what we did to get her to stop teasing us, its been on my mind. Now we have a place and I guess time of our wedding, but we havent gotten engaged yet. I decided to change that. I led Velvet by the hand to a place I saw the last time we were here. When we got to the place, Velvet finally figured out what was going on.
I see. So this is what we are doing. (Velvet)
Yeah, lets go in. (Soleil)
We walked into the shop and went up to the counter.
How may we help you today?
Wed like a set of rings please. (Soleil)
I understand, one moment please.
The clerk left the counter to get the rings then came back after a minute. She placed them on the counter and I handed over the payment. Once we left the shop, we went to one of the parks that were in the city. We found a quiet place and sat on a bench.
Soleil. (Velvet)
Velvet. (Soleil)
We looked into each others eyes for a few minutes before I pulled the rings out. I handed one to Velvet then we looked into each others eyes again.
Soleil, I love you with all of my heart. Please accept this as a sign of my love for you. (Velvet)
I held out my left hand and Velvet put the ring on my ring finger.
Velvet, you are the light of my life. My most important person. The one that knows all of me. I love you with everything I have and will have in the future. Please accept this as a sign of my love for you. (Soleil)
She held out her left hand and I put the ring on her ring finger. When I pulled my hand away, we leaned into each other and our lips met. The rings on our fingers shone for a second and when the light died down, I had a black and gold ring on my skin and Velvet had a red and violet ring on hers. We looked at our fingers then went back to giving each other a kiss.
[Ophidia POV]
Once everyone went their separate ways, I grabbed Skadi and teleported us to masters island next to the tree.
What are we doing here, Ophidia? Its too early to stay here for the night and weve already done the whole full moon thing. (Skadi)
Who said we could only do that once? And besides, thats not the point today. (Ophidia)
Then what is it you want to do here? (Skadi)
So, you know how master has that mark on her hand? (Ophidia)
Her ring? Yeah. (Skadi)
So, I asked master about it, and she told me about it. So I decided that I want the same thing. (Ophidia)
Skadis eyes widened a little and her face started to get a little red.
O-ophidia, are you sure? I-I mean Im happy that you feel that way, b-but are you ready to spend the rest of your life with me? (Skadi)
Of course. I may not understand everything, but I am positive that I want you for all eternity. (Ophidia)
Skadi didnt say anything and just smiled at me with her eyes getting all teary. I pulled out the rings that I got from that pile of treasure and handed Skadi one of them. She held her left hand out to me and I put the ring on the same finger as masters.
Skadi, I love you like none other. You bring me such joy and warmth that it makes it hard to contain myself in your presence. Please be mine forever. (Ophidia)
I accept you, Ophidia. I feel the same, I want and will cherish you forever and my love for you has no bounds. Even the sea itself cannot contain all the love I hold for you. (Skadi)
She then placed the ring I handed to her on my finger. We then hugged and kissed each other passionately. The rings then glowed and mine turned into a silver and red mark while Skadis turned black and amber. I was going to say something about this when my lips got sealed by Skadis again. We stayed like that until evening came around.
[Luna POV]
Me and Mio were making our way to the castle gates. When we got there, I waved at one of the guards that I recognized. He nodded at me and we went through the gate. We then went to the castle through the normal method. When we got up there, I led Mio towards Nias villa. We passed people every so often that I greeted before we reached our destination.
You seem to know a lot of people here nya. (Mio)
Not really. I was just being polite. (Luna)
No, youre not usually like this nya. You just seem really happy today nya. (Mio)
Well, I do get to see Tamamo tonight, so theres that. I also got to do something that Ive always wanted to do, so why would I not be happy? (Luna)
That makes sense actually nya. (Mio)
When we came to the entrance of Nias villa, I saw Uncle Rex.
Afternoon, Uncle Rex. (Luna)
Hey Luna. Its good to see you again. (Rex)
Hello nya. (Mio)
Ah, you must be Mio. Its nice to meet you. (Rex)
Likewise nya. (Mio)
So, what can I do for you today? (Rex)
Can we stay the night tonight? We came here to rank Soleil and Ophidia up and then we are going to go to the Elf Nation. Thing is its a full moon tonight and I didnt feel like traveling with that happening. (Luna)
Youre always welcome. Where are the others? (Rex)
Soleil is off with Velvet and the same with Ophidia and Skadi. (Luna)
I see. So should it just be four rooms then? (Rex)
Yeah. (Rex)
Got it, Itll be done shortly. (Rex)
Alright. By the way, wheres Nia? (Luna)
Shes away from the capital with Drome and Mythra visiting some nobles. (Rex)
Ah, the duties of royalty. (Luna)
Haha. Indeed. (Rex)
We decided to end the conversation there and we all went inside. Rex told some of the maids to prepare rooms for us and we went to the usual room we always talk in.
So, you have a full party of S-ranks now, right? (Rex)
Yep. (Luna)
Nyahaha. That makes us the strongest adventurer party in the world nya. (Mio)
Im pretty sure that was the case with just Luna and Skadi. (Rex)
Uncle Rexs comment made Mio deflate a bit.
Uncle Rex, you didnt have to point that out. (Luna)
Sorry. (Rex)
Dont worry Mio, well get you stronger somehow. Even if its just teaching you as many skills as possible, Ill do as much as I can to help. (Luna)
Lunya nya! (Mio)
Mio then started hugging me.
You just wanted to get close to me and my tails, didnt you. (Luna)
Yeah nya. I want to get to the same point as Velvet already nya. (Mio)
Im curious, what depth are you at right now? (Luna)
57% nya. (Mio)
Fine, the go for it for a few minutes. I think you can reach at least 60. (Luna)
Yay nya! (Mio)
Hahaha. You treat her like Soleil, Luna. (Rex)
Thats only natural. I feel like everyone in my party is a part of my family. I mean, Mio already considers me her eternal friend which she says is basically family. Ophidia is contracted to me and is my Apostle and shes with Skadi, so they are basically family, and the same goes for Velvet and Soleil. (Luna)
Hahaha. I like that mindset. If only mom and dad could see this. (Rex)
You know, I dont really know much about my grandparents. Mom and dad never spoke about them much. (Luna)
Well, I can tell you about them while you wait for the night to come. (Rex)
Ill take you up on that offer. (Luna)
Like that, Uncle Rex told me about my grandparents of this life until it came close to evening. Mio had fallen asleep at some point in time and I had her head in my lap.
Ill go and see if the others are in the place we said we would meet at. Ill be back. (Luna)
Alright. (Rex)
I moved Mio off of me and teleported away. I appeared in front of the castle gate to see Velvet and Soleil being all clingy. Then Ophidia and Skadi appeared nearby in the same state. When the four of them saw each other, they started to laugh.
Seems we had the same idea, Ophidia. (Soleil)
That seems to be the case. (Ophidia)
Congrats all of you. Ill make sure the weddings are magnificent. (Luna)
We look forward to it, big sis. (Soleil)
Id expect nothing less from you, master. (Ophidia)
We then teleported back to the villa. When we got back to the room, we seemed to have woken Mio up.
Nya!? (Mio)
Sorry about that, Mio. (Luna)
Nyaaaawn. Its fine nya. (Mio)
She rubbed her eyes then looked at the others.
Nya. Congrats nya. (Mio)
Thanks.
Well, Id love to hear the details, but Tamamos calling and I must answer. I said as I went to the room prepared for me.
When I got there and hopped onto the bed, I shut my eyes and was brought to Tamamos place. It was still the mountainous version that it was the last few times, but I still liked it nonetheless. I wasnt laying in Tamamos lap like I usually was and was just standing under the tree. I looked around for Tamamo but didnt see her. I did notice that there was already a pathway of moonlight leading off into the mountains. I followed it for a few minutes until I saw the end. What I saw waiting for me there made me smile a wide smile. I sped up my pace and when I got to the end, I jumped into Tamamos arms and gave her a passionate kiss. Due to my momentum, Tamamo fell backwards onto the large bed.
{Im happy to see you too, Luna.}
I didnt say anything and just hugged Tamamo tightly. I even wrapped her in all six of my tails.
{Ufufu. Calm down Luna, we have time for that later. Didnt you want to watch some of those movie things first?}
Tamamo you tease.
{Ufufufufu.}
I reluctantly let Tamamo go only for her to wrap a few of her tails around my waist and pull me closer.
{Just because I told you to calm down doesnt mean you had to let go, you know.}
Geez Tamamo, if you dont stop, Ill pin you down and forget any plans we had for the night.
She didnt rely and only smiled. I freed myself enough to be able to look up to the sky and she did the same.
So, what do you feel like watching?
{I know nothing about them, so just choose whatever you remember most vividly.}
Alright, then get ready for a long one.
I snapped my fingers and an illusion of Lord of the Rings started to play. It kept our attention for a few hours until we got so lost being with each other that we completely forgot about it.
Chaos Realm:
Atmos: Grey!
Grey: What?
Atmos: Get over here. You need to spend more time with me.
Grey: Fine.
*The two of them start to cuddle*
*Meanwhile, in the sea of chaos outside*
Order: I expected it to be more chaotic out here.
Eh, it's relatively calm today. Anyway, come with me.
Order: Alright.
*We enter the cabin of the ship we built*
Order: You know, if you all you wanted was a nice private room, you could have just asked and we could have made it so no one would show up for a bit.
True, but I liked this idea as well.
Order: So then.
*Fade to black*
