Chapter 234- Now Back to our Regularly Scheduled Fluff

[Luna POV]

A few hours after we fell asleep, I woke up since I felt the presence of someone enter my domain.

“Grey, this isn’t the time.” (Luna)

“Yeah, yeah, I’m not going to stay that long.  I just came here to tell the two of you something.  Atmos got mad and is taking her anger out on the ones responsible for this whole thing.” (Grey)

I was just about to say something when I felt something like a pulse through the atmospheric mana.

“What was that?” (Luna)

“Oh.  This is much bigger than I thought.  Seems like Tamamo completely giving up on that continent led to many others doing the same.” (Grey)

“Again, what does that mean?” (Luna)

“That means that Himmels can no longer use a majority of magic.” (Grey)

“How do I deny space and stellar magic from them?” (Luna)

“For now, ascend.  After that it’ll be like breathing.” (Grey)

“Tch.  Oh well, take this.” (Luna)

I pulled out several of my best cooked wyvern steaks and handed then to Grey.

“For you and Atmos.  I don’t think I need to say what for.” (Luna)

Grey nodded and started to leave.

“Oh, tell your mother that she doesn’t have to worry about reporting anything about the slavers.  Me and my people will take care of some of it and Leonhardt will deal with the rest.” (Grey)

“Will this lead to a war?” (Luna)

“If it does, it does.  You won’t have to or need to worry about it though.  With everything that a few minutes ago, it’ll be more like…collecting reparations at most.” (Grey)

“Alright, I’ll let mom know in the morning.” (Luna)

“Take good care of Tamamo and let her know to expect Atmos in the very near future.” (Grey)

{I expected as much.}

“You can go back to sleep you know.” (Luna)

{Haha.  I’m fine now.}

{Grey, tell Atmos that I’m feeling better now.}

“Got it.” (Grey)

Grey then left very quickly and I turned back to Tamamo and hugged her.

{I’m really fine now, Luna.}

“Doesn’t matter.”

I hugged Tamamo tighter.

“Tamamo, do you realize what happened while you were asleep?”

{When I denied Himmels gravity magic?  Yeah, the pule woke me up.}

“Alright.  Now, shall I pamper you before Atmos does?”

{You don-}

“That was a rhetorical question.”

I laid Tamamo’s head down on my lap and pulled out several of my brushes.

“Tamamo, you know when I had that breakdown after that one incident?”

{Yeah.}

“Remember what you said to me back then?  That you’re here for me and all that.  It’s my turn to say that to you.  I’m here for you.  I will share all of your worries and hardships.  If you need to let loose with all of them, then I will be the one to support you through it.  What kind of wife would I be if I didn’t?”

I started to brush Tamamo’s hair while I said this.  I saw that she had a calm, content smile on her face.

{You know, I sometimes thing that you are too good for me, Luna.}

“Perish that thought.  We go so well together even fate says so.  Double so since Atmos also says it.”

{Ufufufu.  You’re right.}

I finished brushing Tamamo’s hair and moved on to her tails.  We spent the rest of the night like this.  By the time I finished with her tenth tail, the sun was rising outside the window.

{Luna, may I come back tonight?}

“Of course, come at any time.”

I smiled at her as she turned to look at me.  We stared into each other’s eyes for several seconds before we leaned in to kiss.  Our lips met and we stayed that way for several minutes before breaking away.

{I love you so much Luna.  I’ll see you tonight.}

“I’ll be waiting.”

Tamamo vanished in a flash of light and I dissolved the domain.  I stood up and stretched, changed into some casual clothes and left my room.  When I got to the dining room, I saw mom and dad sitting at the table with serious expressions on their faces.

“Luna, sit.  We need to talk about what to do next.” (Amagi)

“Yeah, about that, I have some information on that as well.” I sat next to mom and pulled out three cups of coffee.  “Grey showed up a few hours ago and told me that he and his people as well as Leonhardt will deal with the rest, so our part is done.” (Luna)

“*Sigh*  Alright, it kind of feels weird, but I guess that’s for the best.” (Amagi)

“I agree as well.  While I wouldn’t mind helping out with whatever is going to happen, unless I’m asked to, I’ll leave it at that.  Though I would like to know how the two of you going shopping ended up in eradicating a slaver crisis.” (Deacon)

“Just another day in the life of me.” (Luna)

““…””

“Don’t look at me like that.  It’s not like I try to end up in situations like that on purpose, they just happen.” (Luna)

“Well anyway, what now?” (Deacon)

“Well, I still have some days off, so I’ll just relax.” (Amagi)

“I’m staying here until Damien arrives so we can hammer out the details of making some flying ships.  So, until that happens, I’m free.” (Luna)

“Then will you come and train with me and the others?” (Deacon)

“Train, no, but I’ll come and watch and heal if needed.” (Luna)

“Alright, I’ll see you at the training grounds then.” (Deacon)

Dad got up and left the room.  While he tried to hide it, he seemed a little down.

“Hmm.  Why do I feel bad now?” (Luna)

“He’s been looking forward to training with you again.  Says that he’ll get to bond with you more.” (Amagi)

“I mean, I don’t mind training with him, but the others are out.” (Luna)

“Then go and tell him that.  I’ll see you later, Luna.”  (Amagi)

“Yep.  If you need me, just come and get me.” (Luna)

I got up and left the room to catch up to dad.

[Tamamo POV]

After getting back home from visiting Luna, another shining portal opened up and Atmos flew through it.  She would have tackled me to the ground if I didn’t move out of the way in time.

“Owwwwwwww!  Tamamo, you didn’t have to dodge me.” (Atmos)

{Atmos, if you tackled me to the ground, then you would have undone all of Luna’s work.}

Atmos looked at my hair and tails before looking back at my face.

“Tch.  She could have left a few for me.” (Atmos)

She got up from the ground and dusted herself off.

“Well anyway, I got revenge for you and you and a lot of others denied them magic, so they will probably get a little better in a few thousand years or so.  Maybe a fiend crisis or two, but it’ll happen.  Now, sit, let me pamper you as well.” (Atmos)

{Oh my, I’m getting so spoiled today.}

The two of us moved over to a couch and sat.

“Of course, I will always pamper you if it will make your mood better.  Though I guess I’m no longer needed since Luna is around now.” (Atmos)

{Don’t be like that, Atmos.  You’re just as much my family as Luna is, so I’ll never not need you.}

A single tear fell from Atmos’s eye.

“*Sniff*  Tamamo.” (Atmos)

She started to hug me tightly and I started to pat her back.

{How did this turn into me pampering you?}

“You’re right.  Let’s get back in track.  For the rest of the day, I will do everything with you, so first order of business, let’s go take a bath and relax.  The heat and steam will melt all the fatigue and stress away.  After that, me and you are going to town to do whatever you want.  If I can’t pamper you by tending to your tails, then at least let me take you out for a day out.” (Atmos)

{Ufufufufu.  Sounds good, let’s go.}

The two of stood up and walked to my hot sprigs to start our day.

Chaos Realm:

Fenrir: Ooooh, that sounds nice.  I should take Mio to town in the divine domain.

Go for it.  Introduce her to some good places.

Fenrir: I plan on it.  Though I guess it'll be too much to let her keep anything she buys there in the mortal world.

Order: Why not take her shopping and then let her pick out some places in your home for her to store it?

Fenrir: I like that idea.  Then if she ever stays over for the night, she...

Oh, she finally got it.

Order: I kind of understand why Atmos and Luna like teasing people so much, it's really fun.

I know right.
