I was Betrayed then Reincarnated as a Kitsune

Chapter 241: Method of Shipmaking and a Promise Fulfilled

[Luna POV]

Once lunch was done being made and everyone was served, we started to eat and discuss the plans going forward.

So, how exactly are we going to make the ship fly with a bunch of mithril and gravity crystals? (Soleil)

Well, Im going to make some framework out of the mithril that will then be made a part of the ship.  We then alchemically merge the crystals with the mithril and make it into a system that gives the ship the ability to float. (Blake)

Of course, this framework wont only be inside the ship, but covering the entire thing.  This will also require me to do some more alchemical magic to merge the mithril and the wood of the ship together.  This will take a while and a lot of mana. (Damien)

Vina, are you a demigod with infinite mana, or are you specialized in a different stat? (Luna)

Im specialized in Dex and Def.  I do, however, have high reserves of mana. (Vina)

Then I guess Ill be on mana sharing duty again.  Oh yeah, Soleil, we also need to start work on enchanting mana crystals with wind magic. (Luna)

Alright. (Soleil)

What part of the framework will those be made a part of? (Velvet)

Im thinking the sails. (Damien)

And Im guessing it will be the same method to claim ownership of the finished product like normal magic items? (Luna)

Yeah. (Damien)

Well then, sounds like we have our work cut out for us. (Blake)

Indeed.  But its also fun.  I look forward to the future when ships like this are more widespread. (Damien)

Indeed.  Though once we finish this one and make sure it works, I dont know if I want to stop at only three.  Im kind of tempted to go for a fleet instead. (Luna)

What would you even do with all of those? (Velvet)

Who know?  If I actually do make a fleet, then I could go and invade Himmels from the sky.  Especially since I wouldnt run into much resistance now that a majority of magic cant be used over there. (Luna)

Id join you on that crusade.  Ive met a lot of people that came to this continent to escape from there.  The stories they told of the place werent great. (Damien)

Well, its just a hypothetical.  I can also see myself just ignoring it completely and looking for other things to do with a fleet of flying ships.  What those things would be only Gear and probably Atmos know. (Luna)

Thats not how it works, Luna.  Well, not completely. (Atmos)

Oh. (Luna)

Once we finished lunch, we all moved back to the docks to restart our work.  Soleil was sitting where Ana was earlier and enchanting away while I provided mana when needed.  Blake was working with the mithril and Damien and Vina went off to explore the island a bit since they wouldnt have anything to do for a while and Mio was still somewhere.  Since Soleil didnt have that many things to enchant, she finished rather quickly and she and Velvet went back to the mansion.  Since I didnt have anything else to do either, I decided to talk with Tamamo.

Hey, is Atmos still there?

{No, she left a little while ago.  Whats up?}

I was just wondering.

{Luna, have you told anyone else about that one place on this island yet?}

You mean that secret place that I found?  I dont think Ive mentioned it.

{Want to go there and set up a domain?  I mean, all youll be doing is waiting for a few days at least, right?  I might as well make it up to you earlier than we planned since we didnt know exactly how long this would take.}

I like the way you think, Tamamo.  Though I dont really think this is the time for those activities.  We can still enjoy spending time with each other.

{Then lets do that.}

I smiled as I teleported to the place we were talking about.  It was a small natural hot spring near the top of the small mountain on the island.  I found it one night while exploring and thought it was a nice little retreat with a great view.  When I got there, I set up a domain and Tamamo appeared beside me.

{I have to say, this IS a nice view.  Almost as good as the one at my place.}

I think yours is better.

{Well anyway, shall we?}

We shall.

Tamamo instantly dispelled her clothes and walked into the hot spring before turning around to watch me.

You know, I should really start to do that as well.  At least when I know I wont run into the princess with the special eyes.

{While I agree, I also like this as well.  It makes things exciting.}

I wont disagree.

Once I was completely undressed, I got into the hot spring as well.  I sidled up next to Tamamo and we looked out at the view of the island and sea.  It was sunset right now and the sky was a multitude of oranges, pinks, and blues.  As we looked at the view, Tamamo leaned her head on my shoulder.

{You know, I really love hot springs.  And not just because they give me an excuse to be close to you like this.  Theres just something about them that makes them better than normal hot baths.}

I agree.  They just feel special.

We sat in silence like this for a several minutes before Tamamo moved.  She turned around and sat in my lap before wrapping her arms around my neck.

{I know we said wed hold off, but I never said I wouldnt get my fill of you, Luna.}

Tamamo smiled seductively as she started to kiss me.  We both enjoyed a long, passionate kiss before Tamamo broke away to let me breathe.

{Ufufufu.  As tasty as always.  Makes me want seconds.}

Fufufu.  Then come and get some.

This time, it was me who initiated the kiss and I pushed Tamamo back until she was leaning against the other side of the hot spring and I was in her lap.  The two of us went back and forth like this until late at night when we decided to stop before we lost each other too much.

{I think this makes up for this morning quite well.}

I agree.  Though I could also use a Tamamo shaped pillow tonight.  Maybe then Ill actually sleep instead of doing other things.

{Well, I just so happen to be free tonight, so that Tamamo shaped pillow might be in need of a Luna shaped person to sleep with it.}

Oh my, what a coincidence.  I just so happen to be a Luna shaped person.

{Ufufufufufu.}

Fufufufufufu.

The two of us got out of the hot spring, dried off with some towels I had, and got dressed.  Tamamo then left as I dissolved the domain and teleported to my room in the mansion before making another one.  Tamamo appeared once again and the two of us laid on the bed.

Good night, Tamamo.

{Good night, Luna.  Have pleasant dreams.}

Thats only natural, after all, youre at my side.

After saying this, I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Chaos Realm:

Mio: Um, is it fine for us to have seen that nya?

Fenrir: I think so.  All we really saw is steam and the occasional sun beam after all.

Atmos: To think that could actually happen in real life.

Mio: What is she talking about nya?

Fenrir: No idea.

Atmos: It seems it falls to me to enlighten the two of you in the ways of culture as Payto did for me.

Mio: Fen nya, the Goddess of Fate is strange nya.

Fenrir: Mio, I love you, but how did it take you until just now to figure that out?

Mio: Because this is the first time I have spent a long amount of time near her nya.  I at most hear her when she occasionally pops in to speak with Lunya and Goddess Tamamo nya, so I've only ever heard them messing with her nya.

Fenrir: I see.  Well, this is what a calm Atmos is like.

Mio: Calm nya?

Fenrir: Let's hope you never see a bored Atmos.  It's a calamity that only a few people ever gat away from unscathed.
