Chapter 152: Break Day
[Luna POV]
After returning to the surface again, we went through the daily routine of handing over our maps and going to our room. I laid down on the bed and sighed.
*Sigh* I think we should take a break tomorrow. ( Luna)
Any reason nya? (Mio)
Not really, I think its just time for us to, weve been doing this for nearly two weeks without stopping and I want to take a break. Of course, we dont have to, its just my opinion. (Luna)
Im not complaining nya. I was just curious. (Mio)
If thats what you want to do, then Ill agree to it master. I can take some time to send Skadi some letters. (Ophidia)
Im all for it as well. (Velvet)
Im going to sleep in tomorrow. (Soleil)
Then tomorrow is officially a break day. (Luna)
After talking for a little while, the others started falling asleep while I laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling.
You know, while I normally dont mind not being able to fall asleep, its sometimes annoying. Even I want to at least take a nap sometimes.
{Ufufuf. Youll get used to it soon enough. Once you do, then youll be able to sleep or stay awake whenever you want.}
I would think Im already used to it.
{You might be, maybe youre just not in the mental state to sleep.}
Maybe so. But at least youre here to keep me company or else I think Id go crazy.
{Ufufufu. Even if you did, I would still think you were cute.}
I blushed a little at her words then changed the subject.
So, what did you think of the meat?
{It was good. I still prefer your wyvern meat dishes, but what you got and sent today just barely loses to it.}
Yeah, its hard to beat wyvern meat, though I still want to at least try dragon one day before I ascend.
{While thatll be difficult, I hope you succeed.}
Am I still on par with dragons, or can I easily beat them yet?
{If I had to say, you surpass them in mana, obviously, but you still need to improve a bit in other areas if you want to easily beat them. Id say theyd give you a fight close to the ones you have with Skadi.}
You realize that makes me want to find and fight them all the more, right?
{I do, but I also know that there are no dragons anywhere near you. Even with your spatial movement, it would take a long time to find one, so you should put this off until some other point in time.}
Oh well, some other day then. By the way, how long is it until the next full moon?
{A few days.}
Yay! I can finally see the remodeled place.
{Ufufufu. I hope you enjoy it.}
Of course I will, Ill be with you after all. Id be happy even in a sewer if I was with you, though I hope we never end up in a place like that.
{I feel the same way in both regards.}
*Yawn* Oh, Im finally a little sleepy. Ill talk to you again tomorrow. I love you Tamamo.
{I love you too, Luna.}
With Tamamos final words ringing in my head, my consciousness dimmed as I went to sleep. I ended up dreaming about Tamamo that night and just as the dream was getting to the good part, I started waking up.
Tch.
{Whats wrong?}
Even my dreams about us always end just before things get fun, though that doesnt really matter now that I can make a domain.
{You were dreaming something good then?}
Fufufu. Of course.
{Luna, stop that before we both go wild.}
Fine, we can have some fun like that when we are together in a few days.
{I like the sound of that.}
I got up out of the bed and stretched. I then changed and started to leave the room.
Ill let them all sleep in since its a break day.
I walked out to the lobby and found a few people up. When I entered the room, they looked at me for a second before returning to what they were doing. I looked around at all of them until I saw the usual receptionist that talked with us. I went up to her and explained that we were taking a break today then made my way outside. After climbing the stairs and exiting the small building I found myself in a completely white landscape.
Ive never seen this much snow even in my previous life.
{Does this beat that one dungeon floor?}
By a long shot.
I took in a deep breath and let it out. My breath came out in a large white cloud that made me feel like a dragon.
Hahahaha. Doing that brings back so many memories of when I was a child in my previous life.
I then remembered something that I havent done in a while. I created several illusory stands and set up some of the hero(lol) and saint(lol) portraits.
Yep, they still piss me off. Its like theyre mocking me.
I put some distance between me and the paintings and as I was about to pull out a bow, I got another idea.
I dont even need a bow when I can just make one.
I created an illusory bow and an arrow. I pulled the string back to see if I got everything right. I then dispelled it and remade it again. I did this over and over until I finally mad a satisfactory one and then prepared the arrow. When I released the arrow and it struck the portrait of the hero(lol), I thought I heard a weak yelp of pain.
Heh.
{I dont think Ive ever seen such a smug smile on your face before.}
Heh.
{Keep doing what youre doing, I want to see this for as long as I can.}
*Thunk*
Heh.
*Thunk*
Heh heh.
*Thunk thunk thunk*
{Heh.}
I continued shooting arrows into the portraits for at least an hour when I heard someone coming up to me.
What are you doing big sis? (Soleil)
Heh. Just some archery practice. (Luna)
Can I try it out? (Soleil)
Sure, if you can pull the string back. I said as I handed over the bow.
Soleil tried her hardest, but the string wouldnt even budge.
How were you doing that, big sis? (Soleil)
Well, I have more strength than you, and also that bow is just an illusion, so its as hard to pull back as I want it to be. Try it now. (Luna)
She did as I said and had an easier time.
You were messing with me the whole time, werent you? (Soleil)
No, I wanted to see if you could pull the string back with it set to something I like. (Luna)
I think only someone like Skadi could do that. (Soleil)
Anyway, aim for one of those portraits. (Luna)
Again, she did as I asked and aimed, pulled back the string, and released an arrow.
I missed. (Soleil)
Bows take time to get used to, try again. (Luna)
I stepped back a bit and watched Soleils posture. I then told her to hold the bow and draw back but not shoot. I walked up to her and fixed the areas that werent right, then told her to shoot. This time she hit the target.
Why did I hear a small scream when the arrow hit? (Soleil)
Heh. (Luna)
Big sis? (Soleil)
Dont worry about it. (Luna)
I then made myself another bow and stood next to Soleil.
Watch me and try to apply what I do to yourself and you will improve. (Luna)
{I dont think thats how that works Luna. Not everyone can learn something just by watching.}
Soleil is talented so shell be fine. Not to mention that I fixed her posture once already, so she will remember it.
I then pulled the string back and let an arrow loose. It struck the portrait of the saint(lol) right between the eyes.
I see. (Soleil)
Told ya.
{Indeed you did.}
Me and Soleil stayed there and practiced archery for another hour before we decided to go back in and find something to eat.
Chaos Realm:
Tamamo: Smug Luna is a cute Luna.
Indeed.
Atmos: Why does it feel like her smug aura mocks me?
Tamamo: Because she out-smugs you.
Atmos: Shocking revelation!
Did Grey somehow show that anime to you?
Atmos: What's anime?
H-he never told you!? I'm gonna need to have words with him now.
