Chapter 161: Tamamo Returns

[Luna POV]

I woke up early the next morning and decided to practice dancing some before going to make breakfast.  I spent about an hour doing this before stopping.  As I was walking towards the kitchen, I heard Soleil and Ophidias voices.  When I walked in, I saw Soleil in the middle of teaching Ophidia how to cook.

Well, isnt this a surprise. (Luna)

Morning big sis. (Soleil)

Morning master. (Ophidia)

What made you want to try cooking, Ophidia? (Luna)

Well, all of you can, so I wanted to be able to do the same.  Though Im no where near as good as you are master. (Ophidia)

Well thats obvious.  It takes time to get good at cooking, but I believe you will get there one day. (Luna)

Big sis, is the Goddess back yet? (Soleil)

My ears and tails drooped when Soleil asked that.

Guess not.  Sorry for bringing it up. (Soleil)

Its fine.  Its only been a day, I cant be too sad about it.  Not to mention that I managed to last five years without talking to her, so a few days is nothing. (Luna)

I believe none of your words. (Soleil)

(Luna)

Youll be fine master.  Even if the Great One doesnt come back for a while, you still have us.  Not to mention that youll get to see her soon anyway. (Ophidia)

She did say that she might not be able to come. (Luna)

But thats only one possibility, big sis.  Dont only think of the negatives. (Soleil)

You know what, youre right. I said as I went up and hugged the both of them.  Thanks for cheering me up you two.

Anytime big sis. (Soleil)

I will always be there for you master. (Ophidia)

After that, Ophidia went back to cooking while me and Soleil watched her and gave her pointers every so often.  When she was done, we moved everything to the table and started eating.  Velvet and Mio joined us eventually and commented on Ophidias cooking.  Once that was done, we moved on to whatever we were going to do today.  I teleported to the Celestia kingdom and went to buy an actual flute.  Once I finished with that, I went back to the island and started to practice.  Turns out, Im horrible at playing the flute.

This is a lot harder than I thought.  And it hurts my ears. (Luna)

Then why do you want to play it? (Velvet)

Oh, hey Velvet.  I just want to. (Luna)

How very you. (Velvet)

I wouldnt be me if it wasnt. (Luna)

And Id prefer it no other way. (Velvet)

By the way, did you need me for something? (Luna)

No, I just came over here when I heard your attempt at music. (Velvet)

I see.  Well, I guess I just need to keep going until I figure it out. (Luna)

Why not go and ask someone to teach you a little? (Velvet)

Because I want to do this myself. (Luna)

Ok then.  If you need me, Ill be with Soleil. (Velvet)

Ok. (Luna)

Velvet then left and I went back to my practice.  After a few hours of somewhat getting the hang of it, I got a music skill.

I wasnt expecting to get something like this this soon.

The second I started to try and play after I got the skill, I immediately saw some improvement.

Ive always thought this, but skills are really amazing.

As I was thinking this, Tamamo started to talk to me again.  I was surprised that she was back already after she told me she would be away for a bit, but she told me that Atmos, Grey and Tonya helped.  After figuring out what we were going to do to thank Tonya, we started to talk about what Ive been doing.

{So, youve learned to dance, and are learning how to play the flute.  You do such random things while Im away Luna.}

Not really.  Ive been meaning to learn to dance for a while, but I will agree that learning an instrument is a bit random.  But Ive started it now, so Im not going to stop until Ive mastered it.

{Ufufu.  I love that about you Luna.  You want to be the best at everything you do, it makes me want to get better at what I do as well.}

But arent you literally at the divine level of everything you do?

{Luna, you knew this already, but gods arent perfect.}

I know, but that wont stop me from thinking of you like that.

{Youre really going all in on the flirting today.}

Of course I am, I missed a day.

{I guess that means I need to respond in kind.  How about you show me some of your dancing?}

Sure thing.

I out away my flute and started to show Tamamo my dancing.  Once that was done, she praised me which made me smile a wide smile.  I sat back down when I decided to speak about something that was bothering me since yesterday.

Tamamo, do you think Im too dependent in you?

{What do you mean?}

Well, Ive noticed over yesterday and today while you werent here that nothing feels right.  I mean, now that youre back, its fine again, but its like I cant really feel good about things without you watching over me.  Dont get me wrong, I did enjoy my time with the others, but it just felt empty.

{Oh.  Hmmm.  I dont know.  I mean, I feel the same way, though its a bit different on my end since even then, I can at least see you.  In a mortal sense, you probably are overly dependent on me, but why should that matter to us?  Im a god, youre a demigod, were not exactly mortals.  Not to mention that once you ascend, well spend every moment together when we can help it.  I wouldnt think too much about it.}

Ok.  Wait, I thought I wasnt immortal yet.  I thought my HP would have to hit EX for that.

{No Luna, the second you became a demigod, you lost any sense of a lifespan.  Sure, you can still be killed, but neither you nor I will let that happen, so its fine.  Besides, Velvet, Ophidia, and Mio dont have EX level HP and they are immortal as well.}

Oh yeah.  Huh, I wonder why I never figured that out?

{Did you think you would feel different when you got immortality?}

I kind of thought that I would.  I mean, I kind of expected to feel lighter or something.  Like the weight of death leaving me or something.

{That doesnt make sense.}

Eh, its a thought Ive had since a long time ago, so just dont worry about it.  By the way, are Atmos and Grey still there?

{No, they left a while ago.  Did you need something from them?}

No, I just wanted to say thanks to them again for helping you.

{Ill pass that along the next time I see them.}

Ok.

Like that, I spent the rest of the day talking and flirting with Tamamo.

Chaos Realm:

Luna: Tonya, I summon you.

Tonya: I'm here nya.

Luna: As thanks for helping Tamamo out, you are allowed to sleep in my tails.

Tonya: *Smiles* Don't mind if I do nya. *Jumps into Luna's tails and immediately falls asleep*

That was fast.

Luna: Indeed.
