I was Betrayed then Reincarnated as a Kitsune

Chapter 175: Resuming the Journey?

[Luna POV]

The next day, we were all sitting in the garden in the temple.

Lunya, that curry stuff last night was amazing nya. (Mio)

Indeed. (Skadi)

Was that a recipe from your last life? (Soleil)

It was.  I dont get why, but when I try to remember things from back then recently, it comes to me with surprising clarity. (Luna)

Why wouldnt it? (Velvet)

Velvet, its been 18 years since I lived in that world.  Do you remember non-important things from 18 years ago? (Luna)

No. (Velvet)

I wonder whats going on with that then. (Ophidia)

Its probably because of what you are, Luna.  Gods and demigods need to have good memory so its no surprise. (Skadi)

Really. (Luna)

Yep.  If you cant remember things that happen over the millennia, it leads to less-than-ideal things.  Especially when it comes to agreements and such. (Skadi)

Heh.  If thats the case, then this opens up so many things for me.  Especially when it comes to my time with Tamamo. (Luna)

{Oh, like what?}

In my previous life, there were types of entertainment called movies.  They were a main part of many dates.  Now that Im starting to be able to remember things clearly, Ill be able to project them through illusions and we can watch them together.

{Sounds fun.}

I mean, it will be, but there is one problem with that, and its that I never really watched many movies that people would usually watch on dates.

{While Im not completely sure, I think the point of those was just an excuse to spend time together.}

OhThat makes sense.  I wonder why I never considered that before?

Luna. (Velvet)

Yes? (Luna)

You fell back into your old habit, big sis. (Soleil)

Ah, sorry. (Luna)

Anyway, what is the goal for today? (Velvet)

I think we should go to another dungeon.  Im almost at level 60 and I think one more dungeon will get me there. (Luna)

How many dungeons have you been to in the Empire? (Skadi)

Umm.  Was it six? (Luna)

Seven. (Soleil)

Ah thats right. (Luna)

Hmmm.  How many floors were they? (Skadi)

Except the first one, each one had 50. (Velvet)

Oh, so you went to quick ones then. (Skadi)

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

Yeah.  Though if Im honest, Im kinda bored of doing them.  I mean, you can only get so much enjoyment out of them before they get repetitive. (Luna)

I get that.  Thats the reason I havent been in a dungeon in a few hundred years. (Skadi)

Then is there any other option you want to do, big sis? (Soleil)

No idea.  I just think the fastest way to get my level up is dungeon diving since its not like well run into anything that will give me two levels by killing it.  I think that kraken was a one time thing. (Luna)

Well, we can always go and check at the guild and see if there is anything more interesting. (Ophidia)

Thats true nya. (Mio)

Then lets go.  Well never get anywhere by just sitting here. (Velvet)

We all stood up and started making our way out of the temple.  On the way out, we ran into Mordred.

Hey Mordred. (Luna)

Hey Luna, everyone. (Mordred)

You seem really happy. (Luna)

Of course I am, I have something nice planned for later today. (Mordred)

Well, were headed to the guild, good luck with your plans. (Luna)

Thanks, and have fun. (Mordred)

She walked past us in the direction of her office.

I know she found someone, but I didnt think Id ever see her that happy. (Velvet)

Lovell do that to a person. (Luna)

True enough. (Velvet)

As we were walking towards the guild, I remembered something that we talked about before.

Hey, why dont we take care of Ophidia and Soleils rank up while were at it? (Luna)

Oh yeah, we should do that. (Velvet)

Then thats also settled.  And since the two of them will be A-rank now, we need to figure out who indorses them for S-rank. (Luna)

Oh yeah, we never figured out if we were allowed to do that, did we. (Velvet)

Do you know, Skadi? (Luna)

Hmm.  No clue, all S-ranks that I know are solo.  There isnt a precedent for a party consisting of mostly S-ranks.  In my opinion, however, I think any of us can indorse them.  We just need to test them first. (Skadi)

If I can state my opinion, I feel like the only ones I can realistically fight are Velvet or Mio. (Soleil)

That isnt the only kind of test you can do, you know.  That is just me specifically, though the only person Ive ever actually tested is Luna. (Skadi)

Why is that nya? (Mio)

Because she is the only one who would ever actually be able to fight me on equal footing. (Skadi)

Ah, makes sense nya. (Mio)

Then what kind of test would you do Mio? (Soleil)

Lets see nyaId say if you could manage to out-hunt me, then Id indorse you nya. (Mio)

Out-hunt you?  I didnt think you were the type of person to do something like that. (Luna)

I know that I havent been that way since all of you have met me nya, but that is my preferred type of activity nya. (Mio)

I see. (Soleil)

What about you, Velvet? (Ophidia)

I havent really thought about it.  Though in the case of anyone in our party, I would just indorse you, I guess.  I mean, I know how strong both of you are, so I dont really see the point of doing a test. (Velvet)

After hearing Velvets thoughts, everyone looked at me.

While I would like to say my test would be fighting, I think Ill reconsider that.  I mean, itd be the same as Skadi where no one would be able to pass if it was.  Of course, that means I dont really need to ever test someone in the first place, but if I was to, then I dont really know. (Luna)

Thats surprising. (Velvet)

Oi.  I know I like fighting, but I wont bully people weaker than me. (Luna)

Really nya? (Mio)

Yes. (Luna)

Then why did you provoke a fight with the Emperor nya? (Mio)

I dont knowI never considered it. (Luna)

Luna, that is something you need to do.  You cant just do that now that you are what you are. (Skadi)

Ok. (Luna)

We started to approach the guild when I started to hear something.  It was like a low ringing.

Ugh. (Soleil)

Nyaaaa. (Mio)

Whatever that is, I wish it would stop. (Luna)

Whats up you three? (Velvet)

You dont hear that ringing? (Soleil)

No. (Velvet)

Should we come back later? (Skadi)

No, lets just get in and out as fast as possible. (Luna)

As we entered the guild building, the ringing got even louder and more annoying.  I turned my sound dampeners on as high as they would go, but even then I could still hear it.  I saw Soleil and Mio doing the same.  As we ascended the stairs, the ringing got louder and louder until we reached the third floor.  The ringing was so loud it was making me dizzy.

Maybe we should leave and come back later. (Luna)

Nyaaaaaaaaaa.  My head nya. (Mio)

Big sis, can you please send me back to the temple?  I cant stand it anymore. (Soleil)

I complied with Soleils wish and sent her and Mio back to the temple.

I sent them back to the temple and Im about to go as well.  Please figure out what is making that sound and tell us when you come back.  And, if you can, break whatever it is. (Luna)

Alright.  Well try to see if there are any good quests while were at it. (Skadi)

I nodded my head and teleported back to the temple garden.  I saw both Soleil and Mio sitting down and rubbing their ears.  I sat down next to them and started doing the same.  It was then that I got the a brilliant idea.  I used healing magic on my ears which erased the discomfort completely.  I then got up and moved over to Soleil.  I sat behind her and started rubbing her ears while using the same healing magic I did on myself.

B-big sis!?  Heh, that feels so good. (Soleil)

After a few minutes of doing this, Soleil melted.

Hehehehehehehehe. (Soleil)

I then looked over to Mio and smiled.

L-Lunya, I knyow what youre thinking and its fine, Im already better nya. (Mio)

No no.  I can clearly see you are still uncomfortable.  Dont worry, Ill make you feel better. (Luna)

I then blinked behind Mio and started doing what I did to Soleil.  Mio tried to resist at first, but she soon turned into putty in my hands.

Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. (Mio)

{Luna, what is the meaning of this?}

At first, I wanted to help them out, but I kind of got lost in feeling their ears.

{Luna.}

Fufufufu.  Dont worry Tamamo, Im not going to leave you out.

I set up a small domain and Tamamo appeared sitting next to me.  I moved behind her and started to work my magic.

{Mikon!}

Hehehehehehe.  Its been a while since I got that reaction out of you.

{L-Luna!}

Tamamo started to say something but stopped as I continued my ear massage.  After a while, she started to regain her senses.

{Luna, what even was that?  It felt so good.}

Do you want the true reason, or an excuse?

{Always the true reason.}

Well, at first, it was to reduce the discomfort from earlier, then to help Soleil out.  But during me helping Soleil, I kind of lost myself in feeling her ears.  Then I wanted to know what Mios ears felt like, so I moved on to her.  Then, I decided that I shouldnt leave you out, so I made it a show and got you to come here and now here we are.

{So, you just wanted to feel all of our ears?}

Pretty much.  Ill let them do the same to me once they come back to themselves.

{Can they handle it?  Your ears count as Abyssal fluff as well.}

Eh, theyll increase their depth then.  Its about time they did that again anyway.

{Alright.  Now, sit, its my turn.}

Yes yes.

I sat sown in front of Tamamo and she proceeded to feel up my ears.

Chaos Realm:

*Stare*

Order: You know you can feel my ears anytime you want right?  All I ask is that you let me know when you will.

Then may I?

Order: Go ahead.

*Starts feeling Order's ears*

Order: That is surprisingly comforting.

Well, I wouldn't want to make you uncomfortable.

Order: I understand that, it's just, In-chan used to do the same thing a long time ago, but it never felt this good.

Hmm.  I wonder why?

Order: No clue, but please continue.

Alright, just tell me when you want me to stop and I will.
