I was Betrayed then Reincarnated as a Kitsune - Chapter 207: An Uneventful Day

Chapter 207: An Uneventful Day

[Luna POV]

Over the next few days, a lot of nothing happened.  We would go out and take quests, explore the city, or explore the forests outside the city.  Right now, I was alone exploring the forest while the others were off on dates, or in Mio’s case, napping.  I had spent most of the day just walking aimlessly in one direction.  I didn’t even have Tamamo to talk to since she had some important business to deal with.

“*Sigh* This is kind of starting to get boring.  No one to talk to and the only thing around me are trees.” (Luna)

“Well, if you want, I can talk to you for a bit.” (Atmos)

“Oh, hey Atmos.  I didn’t think you could talk to me without Tamamo being there.” (Luna)

“Of course, I can.  When you became a demigod, you became allowed to do this.” (Atmos)

“Wait, does that mean that I didn’t have to teleport to Grey to get him during that incident?” (Luna)

“No, you would have had to so he could keep his image of being a mortal to for the people that don’t know he isn’t.” (Atmos)

“Oh.  Well anyway, do you know where Tamamo went?  All she told me was that she would be busy for a few days then nothing.” (Luna)

“I do, but she told me to keep it a secret from you.  Something about it being a surprise.” (Atmos)

“Oh, then it’s fine.  I’m just lonely.” (Luna)

“That’s understandable.” (Atmos)

I walked around for a few more minutes before finding a fallen log and sitting on it.

“You know, this place is nice and all, but I expected a more…mystical…feel.  Don’t get me wrong, the city feels like that, but all the rest of the forest has to it are stupidly tall trees.  Like, ridiculously stupidly tall.” (Luna)

“Hahahaha.  That’s just because you haven’t gone deep enough yet.  But there is one place somewhat near you that you might like, but I’d recommend going there at night.” (Atmos)

“Tell me where it is and I’ll do that.  I don’t have to wait for long after all.” (Luna)

“True.  Just keep going the same way you have been all day and you’ll get there after an hour.  But only if you walk.” (Atmos)

“Then I best get to it then.” (Luna)

I hopped off the log and started to walk.

“So, Atmos, pranked anyone lately?” (Luna)

“After sneaking more prank chests into the dungeons, yeah.  It’s always funny seeing adventurers open chests only to find they get hit in the face with a cake.” (Atmos)

“…” (Luna)

“Wait, I wasn’t supposed to say that to you.  Um, forget you heard that.” (Atmos)

“Hmmm.” (Luna)

“Um, um, um, oh, I know, if you forget I said that, I’ll tell you a good place in Ygg that sells some of that oil you got for Tamamo once, only it’ll be better quality.” (Atmos)

“I’m listening.” (Luna)

“Right, it’s in this special alley that only a few people ever find.  Coincidentally, Velvet and Soleil found it and bought some tea there, but that’s beside the point.  When you find it, the old lady there will sell you the stuff, all you have to do is ask for it.” (Atmos)

“And are you going to tell me the location?” (Luna)

“Where’s the fun in that?  That old lady woks hard to be mysterious and I’m not going to be the one to ruin it.” (Atmos)

“Ah, if that’s the case, then thanks for telling me this much.” (Luna)

After an hour of walking, the sun had set, and the moon was rising.  It was at the perfect angle to let moonbeams through the branches of the trees.

“Now this is a mystical feeling forest.” (Luna)

“But you haven’t even gotten to the spot I told you yet.” (Atmos)

“Hey, it is what it is.  I just pointed it out.  But I do look forward to seeing whatever it is you talked about.” (Luna)

“Good, and you’ll find the place in the middle if this tree stump.” (Atmos)

In front of me was what looked like a massive wooden wall.  It stretched quite the distance in either direction.  I looked up and figured that I could easily jump this.  I crouched down and sprang up, did a cool flip, and landed on the edge of the stump.

“And she sticks the landing.” (Luna)

“*clap, clap, clap.*” (Atmos)

When I was done playing around, I looked down into the stump and my mouth fell open.  On the ground in the stump was a field of red spider lilies.  They were glowing in the moonlight creating a beautiful scene.

“Amazing.” (Luna)

“Hahaha.  I know, right.  This is one of my favorite places to make fated meetings happen.  Especially when the Goddess of Love wants my assistance.” (Atmos)

“And, am I supposed to have a fated meeting tonight?” (Luna)

“No, but even if you were, do you think I’d spoil it?” (Atmos)

“Not sure, that seems like something you’d do as a prank if you were in a bad mood.” (Luna)

“I hate that I can’t deny that.” (Atmos)

“Fufu.” (Luna)

I sat down on the edge of the stump and stared at the flowers for a bit.

{I’m back, Luna.}

“Hey Tamamo.  Look at the place Atmos showed me.” (Luna)

{I see it.  It’s almost as beautiful as you.}

“And that’s my cue to leave.” (Atmos)

“So, Tamamo, when do I find out the reason you’ve been gone for so long?” (Luna)

{Tomorrow.  It’s about time for it to happen and I wanted you to see it once before you ascend.}

“Hmmm.  Yep, no idea what you’re talking about.” (Luna)

{Ufufufu.  Just wait and see.}

“Alright.” (Luna)

I enjoyed the sight of the spider lilies for a while longer before standing up and getting ready to go back.

“I’ll have to remember this place.” (Luna)

Just before I teleported away, I got an idea.  I jumped into the stump, landed in a clear patch of ground and knelt next to one of the flowers.  I looked at several before finding what I was looking for.

{What are you doing?}

“Getting some seeds.  I think I’ll plant them in the island when I bring it to the divine domain.  Just remind me of them.” (Luna)

{Got it.}

I put the seeds I collected in my inventory and teleported away.

Chaos Realm:

Fenrir: I’ve always liked those flowers.  It’s a shame that they don’t really grow in my part of the divine domain.

Huh?  I figured that you could just change the place to be whatever you wanted it to be.

Fenrir: We can within reason.  If someone lives in the colder places, then it’ll have to remain a certain temperature, no matter what.

Huh.  Guess even I can still learn things.

Fenrir: By the way, where is that wife of yours?

Off to visit a friend of hers.

Fenrir: Oh.

Did you need her for something?

Fenrir: No, I just had a question for her.  I’ll just ask her when she gets back or if Tamamo or Atmos show up, I’ll ask them.

Alright.
