Chapter 156- Full Moon and Hot Springs

[Luna POV]

Over the next three days we continued even further into the dungeon.  I set up the checkpoint on the 51st floor signifying that the dungeon had at least 100 floors.  Right now, we were just about to head back to the surface after looking around for any more loot.  Once we finished that, I teleported us to the surface.  We handed over that day’s maps and went to our room.  The sun was still up, but it would become night very soon.  I sat down on my bed and started tapping my finger on my knee.

“Nya?  Why do you look so impatient nya?” (Mio)

“Because it’s a full moon tonight and I’m ready for it to be here.  I want to see Tamamo again.” (Luna)

“Ooohhh nnnyyyaaa.  Have fun then.” (Mio)

“Of course I will, I’ll be with Tamamo after all.” (Luna)

“*Sigh* I want to see Skadi again.” (Ophidia)

“Then how about you invite her to the Vanquishing festival back home?  If it’s you, she’ll probably go and wait for you.” (Velvet)

“Good idea Velvet.” (Soleil)

“A good idea indeed.” (Luna)

“Then I will immediately write her a letter.” (Ophidia)

“Lunya.” (Mio)

“Yes?” (Luna)

“Is the option to permanently travel with all of you still there nya?” (Mio)

“Of course.” (Luna)

“Then I would like to accompany all of you permanently nya.  I have too much fun with all of you to ever go back to just doing boring quests and sleeping at the guild nya.” (Mio)

“Then all I can say is welcome to Stellaris.” (Luna)

“Yay nya!  I look forward to all of our future adventures nya.” (Mio)

“Indeed.” I said as sleepiness starts to overcome me.  “See you all in the morning.”

I fall back on the bed, but before I fall asleep, I look over to Velvet and Soleil and teleport them to the island.

“Ophidia, can I ask you to go and get them in the morning if I don’t?” (Luna)

“Of course, master.” (Ophidia)

Whit that, I fall asleep.  I wake up a second later in a pile of fluffy tails.

“Hehehehe.  This is nice.”

{I’m glad you like it.  Now, take a look at the place.}

I did as she said and poked my head out of her tails.  My eyes widened in surprise.  We were sitting under the tree which was now situated on the top of a mountain.  All around us were similar mountains that made the landscape look like a forest of stone pillars.

“This is amazing.  I’ve only ever seen mountains like this in pictures and games.”

{Ufufufufufu.  I’m so glad you like it.  Grey helped me a bit when I asked him what types of mountains were in the place you lived in in your previous world.  I decided that I would try to show you some that you never experienced.}

“I love it, and to give it an even more majestic atmosphere, I’ll do this.”

I raised my hand and mist started to spread out and around the mountains.

{Why did I never think of that?}

“Probably because you don’t have a mist making ability.”

{But I can make mist with illusions.}

“…That’s true, isn’t it.  Oh well, we don’t need to worry about that.  All we need to think about is me and you and what we are going to do tonight.”

{Ufufufu.  I like that idea very much.  In fact, I have several ideas as to what we can do.}

My smile widened hearing her words.

“Fufufu.  You have that tone that says you want many things tonight Tamamo, and I like it.”

{I know you do.}

She stands up and a bridge made of moonlight appears and leads through the mountains.

{Shall we take in the sights on our way there?}

She offers me her hand and I stand up and take it.

“Gladly.”

We start walking through the mountains while slowly while we enjoy each other’s company.  I stop every so often to look at a particularly beautiful sight.  Especially when I saw one of the mountains had beautiful silver flowers that were blooming.  They seemed to radiate moonlight and they gave off a pleasant scent.

“What are these?”

{They have many names, but the one that is most common is the moon lily.  They only shine like that during a full moon.}

Tamamo went over and picked one, then placed it in my hair.

{And, they suit you wonderfully.}

“Thank you.”

We continue our stroll through the mountains when I see the end of the moonlight path.  It ended at the peak of a mountain that had steam rising from it.

{I though you would like to relax a little after so much dungeon diving and not being able to take a good bath.  What better way to do both then an outdoor hot spring in the mountains?}

“You’re forgetting the part where my beautiful wife gets to join me.”

{I could never forget.  After all, it’s the part I look forward to the most.}

“I couldn’t agree more.”

We walk up to the hot spring and get undressed.  I continuously glance over at Tamamo and can’t help but blush a little.

‘How can I possibly be so lucky?’

{Ufufu.  I should be the one thinking that.}

I then felt Tamamo’s arms wrap around me in a hug as she whispered into my ear.

{I feel like I’m even luckier than all the gods of luck combined.}

I felt a shiver down my spine hearing her so close to me and I couldn’t help but smile.

“I feel the same way.”

We then separated and got into the hot spring.  I sank all the way down until only my head and the tips of my tails could be seen and Tamamo did the same.  We both closed our eyes and relaxed for a few minutes, letting out content sighs.

“We need to do this more often.”

{I agree with you completely.  Nothing beats a hot spring with my wonderful Luna.}

I moved closer to Tamamo and leaned my head on her shoulder.

“I can’t wait for the time when we can do this every day and for longer.”

{Ufufu.  I look forward to it as well.}

She said this as she leaned her head next to mine.  We sat in silence for a bit when I felt Tamamo’s hand move.  This caused me to smile widely.

“You can’t wait any longer, can you?”

{Not at all.}

We both looked at each other and our lips met in a deep kiss.

Chaos Realm:

Atmos: Hey Payto, which should I watch next?

Which one did you just finish?

Atmos: The one you started for me last time.

I expected you to be done with that one a while ago.

Atmos: How is that possible?

Every person that starts out with anime has the mysterious ability to watch 24 episodes in less than a day.  That's just how it works.

Atmos: Anyway. what's next?

This one, it has what Luna wants her island to look like in the future, though we don't get to see much of it.

Atmos: Start it already.

I am.
