Chapter 189: Around a Campfire
[Luna POV]
When we stopped for the night, I called Gief over.
Gief, show me how much you come with your cooking. (Luna)
!!! (Gief)
He walked over with a confident look on his face. I moved over to give him full access to the cooking area of our camp and he got to work. After a while, he was done and everyone was sitting around a fire.
Gief. (Luna)
!? (Gief)
You did good. (Luna)
!!!!!!!!!! (Gief)
He got a smug smile on his face.
Lass, you have no idea how much you helped him last time. Since then, hes been practicing every day. Hes gotten so good that we can hardly eat anything other than his food now. (Jarl)
Glad I could help. (Luna)
Mister Jarl, how many places have you been? (Soleil)
You dont need to add the mister, just call me Jarl. As for your question, Ive been to every country at least once, though we mostly go between the Beast Kingdom and the Celestia Kingdom. The reason were going to the Elf Nation this time is because the place were headed to is Zan and Giefs hometown. (Jarl)
Oh, I didnt know they were from the Elf Nation. (Velvet)
!!...!!!!.!!..!!! (Zan)
I see. (Luna)
You understood that? (Apollo)
A bit. (Luna)
Hahahaha! I told you it was possible, Apollo. Now you dont have any excuse to not try and understand them. If me and Luna here can do it, then so can you. (Jarl)
!!!! (Gief)
Skadi, what is going on here? (Ophidia)
No idea, but its fun, so who cares. (Skadi)
Eh, Ill agree to that. (Ophidia)
I have tried before though. Even then I couldnt understand them. (Apollo)
Well, what you have to do is pay attention to their gestures as well as the current situation. (Luna)
Exactly. Youd think hed be good at that, but no, he just cant make heads or tails about it. (Jarl)
Gah. (Apollo)
Hehe. (Luna)
It really is easy to understand them nya. Especially Zan nya. Hes been telling me a lot of stories while we walked today nya. (Mio)
Luna, your party is full of weirdos. (Apollo)
Nah, youre the one whos weird. (Luna)
See when you deal with Luna, its best to just not think about anything. Itll only tire you out. (Velvet)
Good job Velvet, youve come so far from the person that would point out everything that big sis did. (Soleil)
Guess this is what it takes to be S-rank. None of you have any common sense. (Apollo)
Oi, not like you can say that. (Skadi)
Yeah, but I can at least imitate it well enough. (Apollo)
Come on Apollo, common sense is so boring. Let loose some and just enjoy yourself. (Luna)
Youre already talking like her. Dont think I didnt notice how much youve been trying to mess with me today. (Apollo)
Wrong! I wont be like her, I know moderation. (Luna)
Tch. I cant deny that. (Apollo)
Hahahahaha. (Skadi)
{Ufufufu. This is fun to watch.}
You know thats just going to encourage her, why are you egging her on? (Apollo)
{Why wouldnt I? I like seeing Luna enjoy herself.}
*Sigh* (Apollo)
Gahahahaha. I didnt think Id ever see you make expressions like that, Apollo. Who knew the only thing needed to break that stoicness was bring in Luna and Skadi. (Jarl)
To be fair, something like this wouldnt be possible without Luna. (Velvet)
Really? (Jarl)
Yeah. Luna is the one that started befriending Skadi first. (Velvet)
Thats true. I still remember that fight. (Ophidia)
So, is that how Luna got promoted to S-rank? Fighting Skadi? (Jarl)
Yeah. That fight ended in a draw. (Soleil)
What!? You actually didnt win a fight, Skadi? (Apollo)
Yeah. And the second time I fought her, I lost. (Skadi)
I wish I was there to see that. Wait, how long ago was that? (Apollo)
A long time ago. (Luna)
Nyaaaaaawn. While this is fun, Im going to sleep nya. Just wake me up if I am keeping watch tonight nya. (Mio)
Mio then went over to her tent and went to sleep. Zan and Gief did the same a few minutes later.
Guess Ill take first watch. Whos joining me? (Luna)
I will. (Apollo)
I might as well. (Skadi)
Then thats settled. Call me up when its time to switch out. (Jarl)
Same for us. (Soleil)
The others went to bed and me, Skadi, and Apollo sat there by the fire. It was silent for a while and when we were sure Jarl, Zan, and Gief were asleep, I made a small domain around us.
We can talk without people waking up and hearing us now. Not that my party doesnt know everything already. (Luna)
Youre ridiculous, Luna. The only normal person in your party is that little sister of yours. (Apollo)
She wont be for long. Shes going to be my third Apostle once she clears the conditions. (Luna)
So, from the thing you just did, one of your Authorities is Space, right? (Apollo)
Yep, the other two are Fluff and Stars. You probably get the first one, but I dont expect you to know the third. (Luna)
Yep, completely lost with that last one. (Apollo)
I snapped my finger.
Look up. (Luna)
He did and to say he was surprised would be an understatement.
(Apollo)
{You really love doing that to people, dont you Luna?}
Of course I do. The reactions are always so good. (Luna)
{Ufufufu.}
You gods just dont hold back. (Apollo)
Oh, and is that a problem? (Luna)
Not really. Just an observation from past experience. (Apollo)
Surprisingly, I havent met that many gods yet. Just the major ones. (Luna)
Really? Even I havent met the top of the top. Of course, Ive met Atmos and Grey, but those are the only two big names I have talked to extensively. (Apollo)
Im beating you again, Apollo. (Skadi)
Gah. (Apollo)
{Im actually surprised by that. I mean, youre more social than Skadi was, so I would expect you to have met more gods.}
I hate that I cant deny that. (Skadi)
Youre all good, Skadi, things that happen in the past are what make you who you are today. And look at you now, a very sociable person that is engaged. (Luna)
Hehehe. Wait, I need to tell my mother. Luna, next time were somewhere with a sea temple, can you let me and Ophidia go there? (Skadi)
Sure, just make sure to come back in a reasonable time. Wait, damn, Tamamo, we forgot to let Ophidia and Velvet come to the divine domain for a bit last time. (Luna)
{Oh, youre right. We have to remember next time.}
Yeah, Ill try to, so please dont distract me with how beautiful you are. (Luna)
{If I can avoid falling for you all over again when I see you.}
And there they go. (Skadi)
*Sigh* (Apollo)
The night continued on. After a few hours, we switched watch with Zan and Gief. Once daybreak came, we packed up camp and set off again.
Chaos Realm:
We're back.
Order: Hello anyone who is here.
Tamamo: Hello. Wait, isn't this your home? Why am I the one welcoming you back?
...
Order: Fufu.
Anyway, what's been up with Luna?
Tamamo: Not much. They met up with Jarl's party again and are on their way to the Elf Nation.
I see. They having fun?
Tamamo: Seems like it.
Order: That sounds good.
Tamamo: It is. Any fun Luna has is good.
