I was Betrayed then Reincarnated as a Kitsune - Chapter 204: A Wild Mongrel Appeared

Chapter 204: A Wild Mongrel Appeared

[Luna POV]

When the sun started to rise, Soleil woke up.

“Thanks, for the blanket, big sis.” (Soleil)

“Mmm.” (Luna)

“Big sis?” (Soleil)

Soleil shook my shoulder a bit.

“Wha?  Soleil, is something wrong?” (Luna)

“Oh, were you asleep?” (Soleil)

“Not really.  I was kind of half asleep, sort of.” (Luna)

“Still, sorry for waking you up.” (Soleil)

I patted Soleil’s head.

“It’s fine, Soleil.” (Luna)

“Uuugh.  My neck.” (Velvet)

“Want some help with that?” (Luna)

“Please.” (Velvet)

I put my hand on Velvet’s neck and used some healing magic.

“Better?” (Luna)

“Much.” (Velvet)

I stood up and stretched then remembered that Mio was sleeping on my tail.

“Mio, get up, time to go.” (Luna)

Mio woke up and looked at me with sad eyes.

“Mio.” (Luna)

“Nya.” (Mio)

She hopped off and transformed into her humanoid from.

“Lunya, your tails are dangerous nya.” (Mio)

“I know that.” (Luna)

“You shouldn’t be affected by the fluff though.” (Velvet)

“I’m nyot nya, but soft and fluffy is soft and fluffy nya.” (Mio)

“I’ll give you that.” (Velvet)

“Enough about my tails.  I know they are weapons of mass fluffstruction, so can we move on and head back?” (Luna)

“Alright nya.” (Mio)

Everyone grabbed on to me and we teleported to the guild.  We appeared in front of the reception desk, scaring the receptionist behind it.  I leaned my head over to look at her and apologized.

“Sorry about that.” (Luna)

The receptionist stood back up and dusted herself off before looking at us.

“The quest is complete, the d’yavol tron is dead.” (Luna)

The receptionists, employees, and adventurers all let out a cheer when I said that.  It got so loud that I thought my ears drums were going to burst.  I turned up the sound dampening until the cheering died down.  The receptionist regained her composure and looked at us once more.

“While I don’t doubt you, guild rules state proof is needed.”

I moved over to the center of the room.

“Move over.” (Luna)

I told the people that were in the way to move then I placed one of the skulls on the floor.  Gasps of awe could be heard from everywhere.

“With this, the quest is truly complete.  On behalf of the guild and the city of Ygg, I thank you.”

The receptionist and other employees bowed to us.  Adventurers that were drinking already raised their mugs in our direction and others started to cheer again.  I put the skull back in my inventory and moved back to the desk.  The receptionist had already placed a large sack that I assumed contained money on the desk.

“This is the reward money.  Now, if yo-”

*SLAM*

The doors to the guild slammed open.  We all turned around to see who did that and I was immediately annoyed.  Standing in the doorway was a man dressed in golden armor that looked more like decoration than practical.  He had wavy blond hair and blue eyes.  He also had unnaturally shiny teeth compared to normal people of this world.  Instead of walking normally, he sauntered into the guild.  On his way to the desk where we were at, he didn’t hide his ogling of every woman that entered his sight.  When his eyes finally landed in us, a chill went down my spine.

“Damn it nya.  This…thing nya.” (Mio)

“Mio, is that the mongrel you told us about on the way to this city?” (Luna)

“Yes nya.  This mongrel is Gilderoy the Collector nya.” (Mio)

“Velvet, you can use shadow movement, right?” (Luna)

“Yeah.” (Velvet)

“Use it and take Soleil with you.” (Luna)

“Mm.” (Velvet)

Velvet grabbed Soleil and sunk into the shadows.  Disappointment crossed over the mongrel’s face for a brief second before being replaced by a beaming smile.

“It’s been a while, my lovely Mio.  Have your desires to be with me allowed you to learn where I will show up?  And I see you have a ravishingly beautiful friend next to you.”  He turned his disgusting gaze to me.  “Nice to meet you, milady.  I am the S-rank adventurer, Gilderoy the Collector.  I look forward to you becoming my woman at any time.”

My ears and tails started to twitch in agitation.  I was clinching my fist hard enough to draw blood and I could hear Mio grinding her teeth.  Strangely, I didn’t feel any of Tamamo’s anger, so I assumed she wasn’t present at the moment.

“What?  Are you so stunned by my looks that you have no words?  And why do you tremble so?  There is no need to hold back, feel free to rush into my embrace.” (Gilderoy)

I forced a smile onto my face.

“I am S-rank adventurer, Luna of the Spectral Mists.  Also, I must inform you that I have a wife, so use your pickup lines on someone else that isn’t me or my party members.” (Luna)

“You already know me nya.” (Mio)

“Kehehehe.  A pleasure to meet you, Milady Luna.  As for you being married, even better, bring me to your wife and I’ll make her my woman as well.  That way the both of you can enjoy the pinnacle of the human race.” (Gilderoy)

At that, I was about trap him in a domain and rain every weapon and magic I owned onto him, heal him before he died, and attack again on repeat.  Before I did that however, Mio grabbed me and my vision went dark.  When I could see again, we were far away from the guild.

“Mio.” (Luna)

“I understand how you feel nya, but we can’t kill him yet nya.  He needs to be caught doing something that’ll give us that excuse nya.” (Mio)

“He literally just spoke blasphemy, Mio.” (Luna)

“I knyow that nya, but the other people there don’t nya.  Do you really want to expose yourself just to kill an insignificant mongrel like that nya?” (Mio)

“…You could have at least let me curse him.” (Luna)

“Do it later nya.  As loath as I am to admit it nya, we will run into him again nya.  He’s seen us here nya, and that means he’ll chase us down until we either lose him by leaving the country nya, kill him nya, or become his nya.  And I’m nyot going to do any of those nya.  Especially nyot the last one nya.” (Mio)

“Why don’t you want us to leave the country?” (Luna)

“Because you want to do things here nya.  If we leave nya, we won’t knyow when he will nya.  It could be in a week nya, or a few years nya.  Depends on how long until he is satisfied nya.” (Mio)

“That contradicts what you said earlier.  Will he stay here for years, or chase us down?” (Luna)

“We’ll be his priority nya, but that doesn’t mean that he will stop his usual actions nya.  When I say he will leave when satisfied nya, I meant that when he is chased out by a mob of people nya.  He will treat it as a festival dedicated to him nya.” (Mio)

“Why hasn’t he been smote?” (Luna)

“Don’t knyow nya.” (Mio)

“Guess I have to talk to Grey about this.” (Luna)

“Indeed nya.  I wish the people would just chase him away already nya.  Or burn him to ashes nya.  Whatever comes first nya.” (Mio)

We couldn’t stay in this tree forever, so I grabbed Mio and teleported us to Lia’s home.  When we got there, we found Velvet and Soleil already there.  We explained what happened after I told them to leave and we all fumed while we pondered on what to do.

Chaos Realm:

Atmos: Tamamo, calm down!  You can’t go and kill that thing!

Tamamo: Don’t hold me back, Atmos.

Atmos: Payto, Order, can you help me!?

…

Order: *Taps Tamamo on the forehead*

Tamamo: *Falls asleep*

Atmos: You can do that?

Order: Just tap the right pressure point.

Atmos: Ah.

…

Order: Payto?

What a piece of trash.  Who allowed that thing to live?

Atmos: Unfortunately, I had to keep him alive.

Why?

Atmos: If I didn’t, some things would have happened in the past that could have caused a chain reaction leading to bad outcomes for the world.  If it wasn’t for that, that thing would have stayed on Daslandes Himmels and died a long time ago.

*Sigh* And now?  Is it still needed?

Atmos: For one thing, but after that, he will be unnecessary.

Fine.  But we have to get rid of it before Skadi, Ophidia, and Fenrir return.

Atmos: I’ll do my best to get things moving then.

Order…
