Side Chapter 17: Luna and Tamamo

This chapter takes place at one point in the months between the festival and the present.

[Luna POV]

Right now, I had my head in Tamamos lap as we sat under the lunar sakura in Tamamos place.

What should we do tonight, Tamamo?

{Hmmm.  Im not sure.  While I like the idea of going to the hot spring, I think well indulge ourselves a bit too much.}

True.  Oooh. Would you like to do that thing we did that one time?  You know, the caf.

{Sure.}

I got up from Tamamos lap and snapped my fingers.  A caf illusion appeared instantly and the two of us walked inside.  I walked behind the counter and pulled out the things that Tamamo got from Java.

I really should use this more, even if its just for myself since it wont affect me.

{Yeah, we dont want it to be forgotten and go to waste after all.}

Indeed.  Any preference this time?

{No, just make it how you want and Ill enjoy it.}

Alright, just give me a few minutes.

I got to work preparing the coffee for the both of us.  After a few minutes, I had two cups of hot coffee done and I handed Tamamo hers.  I then brought out some sugar and milk in case either of us wanted to use it.  Tamamo tried a sip before putting a small bit of sugar into her cup.

{Its nice, though a bit stronger than I remember it.}

Yeah, thats the thing with this coffee, its different since it changes depending on how you want it.  But then again, its from the God od Coffee, so it would make sense if it was like that.

{How did you figure that out?}

Just because I dont do it often doesnt mean I havent made myself some coffee with this since I got it.  I noticed it was like this after a few times of making some with it.

{I see.}

We sat there and enjoyed our coffee for a bit when I decided to bring out some confections to go along with it.

{Ooh.  These are good.}

Thanks.

We chatted for a few more minutes while enjoying the coffee and confections when I got another idea.

Hey Tamamo, want some good scenery to go with this as well?

{What do you have in mind?}

Ill show you.

I waved my hand and the building around us disappeared.  I then made an illusion of a starry sky appear.  I waved my hand one last time and numerous streaks of light started to appear.

{This is beautiful.}

This is called a meteor shower.  While there are a lot of reasons for this to happen in reality, in this instance Ill call it a star shower.  There is a superstition in my old world where if you see a single one, which people call a shooting star, you make a wish on it, but this is different.

{What happens if the stars hit the world?}

Fufufu.  Nothing.

{But how does that work?}

Hmmm.  How to explain it?  Ah, I know.  Normally, what we are seeing now is like a candle flame.  The light is the flame and it gets blown out before it hits the world in most cases.  Sometimes it doesnt and they do hit the world, but they are too small to do any real damage.  Of course, small in this case means small compared to the world itself, not people.

{I see.  While I get what youre saying, I can tell that there is more to this.}

There is.  I dont really know how it works in this world since no one here really does, but in my old world, it was just one planet out of several and as far as I knew, we were the only one with life on it.  These falling stars are actually rocks that float outside of the planets atmosphere and sometimes get caught in its gravity.  They are then pulled toward the center of the planet and get really hot when flying through the atmosphere, thats where the light comes from.  Since they get so hot, they start to basically disintegrate and are completely gone before they hit the ground.  Sometimes they are too big to do that, so the hit and leave a crater, but it doesn't do any damage that is notable.

{What would happen if it was big enough to cause notable damage?}

From the perspective of my old world, extinction.

{Isnt that really bad?}

Yes, but as far as I know, it only ever happened once, and that time it was millions of years before humans were there.

{What do you mean as far as you know?}

Well, I dont know if it happened more than once in the billions of years my old world was there before people, and I also dont know if it happened again since I was brought to this world.

{Ah, fair enough.}

Anyway, thats enough science talk, lets go back to enjoying this.

{Alright.}

The night continued on as me and Tamamo enjoyed our coffee and watched the stars.
