I was Betrayed then Reincarnated as a Kitsune - Chapter 249: Taking Care of Important Things

Chapter 249: Taking Care of Important Things

[Luna POV]

After chatting with everyone as well as the arrival of Velvet and Mio, I actually got started on what I needed to do.  I pulled out several papers and something to write with.  I then stared at the paper with a blank look.

“So, anyone here know how to write a letter to a ruler?  Like, do I need to be all formal and stuff, or do I write casually?  And then, how do I explain exactly what is what?” (Luna)

“I have no idea.” (Soleil)

“I usually let other people take care of that.” (Velvet)

“Nyever had to do something like that nya.” (Mio)

“Why would I know a ruler?” (Vina)

“Can’t you just, I don’t know, explain it in simple words?  I mean, you’re S-rank, so you don’t really have to be all formal and stuff from what I’ve heard about S-rank adventurer status.” (Damien)

“I mean, that’s what I was thinking, but I wasn’t too sure about it.” (Luna)

{Just do it in the way you see best, Luna.  It’s not like they have the authority to do anything if you are rude in some way, and even then, most of them are friendly with you or your family, so I doubt they would care.}

‘You’re right…Now that I think about it, why was I hesitating?’

{You were just overthinking it.  It happens to all of us.}

Simply nodding along to Tamamo’s words, I started writing the letters.  The contents of each were mostly the same.  I detailed what was made, advised that, should they want one, it will take time to make, and that if these were to be made into things that many people will use, then to start drafting policies for them and their use.  The only thing that was left to add was the details of who exactly we would give the information to in order to actually market the method of making the ships.

“Damien, want to discuss how we deal with spreading the knowledge of making the flying ships and then ask Blake for his input once he…recovers?” (Luna)

“Hmmm.  Well, there was something I’ve been planning on doing for a few years now and this can act as the impetus for actually going forward with it.  That is, of course, if you feel comfortable with me handling the details like marketing and stuff.” (Damien)

“That depends on what this plan of yours is.” (Luna)

“Well, there’s an adventurer’s guild, yeah?  Then what if I made a general crafter’s guild?  Bring all kinds of crafting professions into one cohesive guild and have them share resources and manpower where needed.  Have it be in a friendly relationship with the adventurer’s guild and stuff.” (Damien)

“Are you sure you can handle that?  Adventurers are one thing, but crafters are a wide variety of eccentricities and individual techniques passed on through generations.  Most won’t like being put in a position of cooperation with others in the same profession.” (Ana)

“It’ll be tough at the start, yes, but once they understand that they’ll have access to more and better resources by joining, then I doubt they’ll mind.  I mean, I’ve already started the preparations for this anyway.  That’s the reason we were in the Dwarven country before coming and helping here.  It’s the leading country when it comes to crafting professions aside from more specialized things that other races and countries are known for.  By the way, if you ever go there, be ready for a lot of familiar looking architecture.  Lots of bronze and pipework.” (Damien)

“Dwemer?” (Luna)

“Yep.  Well, the capital at least.” (Damien)

“I don’t know whether to feel excited by that or annoyed for some reason.” (Luna)

“That is understandable, but at least you don’t have to worry about blind, mutated elves and giant insects that spit poison.” (Damien)

“Oh, then I’m excited.  Not that I expected that in the first place.” (Luna)

“Big sis, you’re doing the thing you do when you talk to dad again.” (Soleil)

“Eh, oh, sorry.” (Luna)

“*Sigh*  It’s been a while since I got to talk about stuff like that and someone actually gets it.  It’s a good feeling.” (Damien)

“Anyway, if you can promise that you’ll deal with all the complicated stuff, then you can deal with the marketing of the flying ships.  You and Blake are the ones who made all the actual stuff to make it work, all I did was provide the ship and mana.” (Luna)

Damien offered his hand and we shook on it.

“Um, Lunya, can I ask something unrelated to all of this nya?” (Mio)

“Go for it.” (Luna)

“Before we head off on the nyext adventure nya, can we go to the port city in the Beast Kingdom so I can see my parents nya?  I need to explain a lot of things to them nya.  Plus, Fen wants to meet them nya.” (Mio)

“I don’t mind that.  I want to go and see that place at least once anyway.  How about you two?” (Luna)

“I’ve been there a few times, but I don’t mind going there again.” (Velvet)

“Sounds good to me.” (Soleil)

“Then all that leaves is Skadi and Ophidia, but I have a feeling that they’ll agree as well.” (Luna)

“Yeah.  By the way, have you heard anything from them?” (Velvet)

“Not a peep.  But I’m not worried, they’re probably just lost in the throes of passion.  We’ve all been there, so it’s understandable.” (Luna)

“Nya.  Guess I’ll need to spend some fun time with Fen next time nya.” (Mio)

“Just ask and I can give the two of you a week.” (Luna)

“…Later nya.  We have to meet my parents first nya.” (Mio)

“Then with all of this settled, we just need Blake to get up.  Ana, just how much did you do to him?” (Luna)

Ana’s face went completely red again and she looked down before whispering so quietly even I couldn’t hear it clearly.

“I get that you are embarrassed by this question, but avoiding the answer isn’t going to stop me from asking it again.” (Luna)

“I said he’ll be better by tomorrow, the day after at most.” (Ana)

I closed my eyes and placed my hand on my chin in a thinking pose for a few seconds before opening my eyes again and looking at Ana.  I said nothing but gave her a thumbs up.  I turned to the others that were present.

“All in favor of leaving these two here to enjoy a vacation and going back to the shrine today?  Say aye in favor, nay in refusal.” (Luna)

{Aye.}

“Aye.” (Luna

“Aye.” (Soleil)

“Aye.” (Velvet)

“Aye nya.” (Mio)

“Aye.” (Damien)

“Aye.” (Vina)

“Aye.” (Ana)

We all looked at Ana with knowing grins when we heard her answer.  She looked away from us but couldn’t hide the small smile on her face.  The rest of us stood up to leave the room.  As we were going, Soleil leaned closer to Ana and whispered something into her ear.  Ana went beet red once again before nodding her head frantically.  Soleil then caught up to the rest of us and we went down to the docks.

Chaos Realm:

Atmos, good news, I found the world and Grey’s parents are still alive.  It seems the time difference between worlds is enough to where it’s only been ten years between his summoning and the present here.

Atmos: I’m sensing bad news as well.

Why?  The only troubling thing is that it will take a week here for that world to be close enough for you to meet them.  At that point, you two will have three weeks to meet and spend some time with them before the worlds get too far away to be safe.  After that, the next time you’d be able to meet them will be in a few millennia.

Atmos: That’s way better than I ever expected.

Order: I’m happy for you, Atmos.

Atmos: Thanks, Order.  And thank you too, Payto, for doing this and actually giving us the time to do this.

Think nothing of it, you’re my friend and I take care of my friends.

Atmos: *tears up*  Truly, thank you.  Well, I’m off to tell Grey, I’ll be back.
