I was Betrayed then Reincarnated as a Kitsune Chapter 112: Beach Chapter

[Luna POV]

We spent another day on my island so that I could keep practicing my divine skills. Out of all of them, the only one that stayed a mystery was Abyssal Blessing. No matter what I tried, I could never tell what the effect really was. Domain Creation turned out to be the easiest to use and it was also easy to combine it with Constellation Creation. As for constellations, I turned one of my extra bows into one as a test and now the sky in my domain had several drawn bows in the sky. While inside the created domain, I could basically do anything I wanted. It was basically an entirely different world.

{Luna, what are you thinking about that is making you smile like that?}

Fufufu. Dont worry about that for now, Ill tell you later.

{Im getting the feeling Im going to like this answer.}

Hearing her words, my smile grew wider.

Velvet, Ive never seen that look on big siss face before. Its kind of scary. (Soleil)

I agree, Soleil. Its kind of feral. (Velvet)

Ophidia didnt say anything and just backed a bit away.

Sorry. I said as I tried to get my thoughts straight.

It was then that Skadi spoke up.

Luna, you said the reason that all of you were in Beria was to spend so ti by the sea, right? (Skadi)

Yeah. (Luna)

I have a proposition for you then. (Skadi)

Im listening. (Luna)

If you give a months supply of your best cooking, Ill let you spend so ti on an island I own. It has no people and can give this one a run for its money in scenery. (Skadi)

Deal. Ill go and get everything cooked for you then. (Luna)

When youre done, Ill show you to the island and you can teleport everyone there. (Skadi)

I went to the kitchen and started cooking. It took the rest of the day, but when I finished and handed Skadi the item bags full of food, she had a nice smile on her face.

Ill show you to the place tomorrow. Also, mind if I join all of you? (Skadi)

I dont mind, what about everyone else? (Luna)

Its fine with . (Ophidia)

No problem here. (Velvet)

The more the rrier. (Soleil)

Then theres your answer. (Luna)

Thanks. Its been one thing after the other lately and I need a break. (Skadi)

Velvet did tell that you were here in the Empire to hunt down so plant things, what was that about? (Luna)

They were so things from a very long ti ago that my mother thought were all gone. Turns out that they werent and were propagating rapidly. Eventually a cult ford that worshipped them and they were being turned into the things. Very annoying to fight. (Skadi)

Howd you finish them? (Velvet)

They were all connected to a central mind. I killed that and the rest followed. The biggest pain of all of that was that I had to fight the source at the bottom of the sea. When that was done, I had to figure out how to deal with the cult, then when I finished that, I ca to Beria for a break and found out a kraken was around. The best thing to co of all of this annoying stuff was that I actually made so friends. (Skadi)

Im happy that you think about us like that, but I really thought you would have more friends than just us. (Luna)

I have several acquaintances, but none of them are exactly friends. Out of all of them, the one I would actually say is a friend is Apollo. (Skadi)

I also know soone with that na. Hes an archer that travels around in a party with a dwarf and two other humans. (Luna)

Does he have any relation to divinity? (Velvet)

He was the only other demigod in the mortal world. At leas until Luna ca along. (Skadi)

I knew he was hiding sothing. (Luna)

Did we make a bet about that? (Velvet)

No, our bet was if Jarl is a noble or royalty. (Luna)

Rrriiiggghhhttt. (Velvet)

So, hes been travelling around with a party? Thats new. Last I saw him, he was the lone wolf type. (Skadi)

Maybe he wanted to change it up for a bit. (Luna)

Thats as good a reason as any. (Skadi)

Wait. Did you know about that, Tamamo? (Luna)

{I did, but I promised him I would keep quiet about it.}

When did that happen? (Luna)

{The first day of your journey. He asked not to tell you when everyone was asleep.}

Did you get anything out of that, Goddess? (Soleil)

{He owes a favor now.}

Ive always wondered this Lady Tamamo, but how many gods and goddesses owe you favors? (Skadi)

{Most of them. Of course, since Luna ca around, Ive been calling in a few, but that number is negligible.}

How exactly did you manage that? (Luna)

{When you live a long ti, you can help a lot of people out and it just naturally happens. It also helps that Im one of the few gods that can keep Atmos in check.}

More like only you and Gear can keep her in check. Old Man Crate is more of an enabler and Grey is mostly hen-pecked. (Skadi)

{You can add Luna to the list of people that can keep her in check. Shes even better at it than and Gear combined.}

Teach your ways. (Skadi)

Get one or more tails and I think I can help with that. She is helpless when it cos to fluffy things, and I just so happen to be the pinnacle of all fluff. I am the Abyss and have the Authority. (Luna)

Tch. If only it was that easy to do that. (Skadi)

If she ever bothers you, just call over and Ill help out. (Luna)

After that we all went to our rooms for the night. The next day Skadi and I went back to Beria, and she led to her island. It was really far from the mainland, but still had a large ho built on it.

Its good to be back here. (Skadi)

Whats the story of this place? (Luna)

It was and my fathers ho when he was alive. (Skadi)

Oh. I thought he would beco your mothers Apostle. (Luna)

He was offered the position but declined it. He never told or mother why though. (Skadi)

Sorry for bringing it up. (Luna)

Its fine, it happened a very long ti ago. (Skadi)

Ill go get the others then, be right back. (Luna)

Ok. When you get back, set up whatever you want on the beach, Im going to go and get ready myself. (Skadi)

I teleported back to my island to find everyone already in their swimsuits. Ophidia was wearing a dark green high-leg one-piece. Velvet had a bikini with a sarong wrapped around her waist that matched Soleils hair color. Soleil had a similar one that matched Velvet.

Are you going to change before we go? (Velvet)

Just give a few minutes. I said as I went to my room to change.

My swimsuit was a simple black and white bikini.

{So simple, yet it makes you all the more attractive. How do you manage that?}

No idea. I just picked sothing that I thought you would like to see in.

{Wait, cant that creep also look at you?}

Hehehe. Dont worry about that. Every ti he tries, all he will see is an illusion of what he most fears, then a potion of greater hurting will fall on his head. I also used so cursing fox fire to curse him to stub his little toe randomly. Hell be pretty occupied dealing with that for a while.

{When are you going to go from petty harassnt to actual torture?}

When we actually make it to Onigashima.

I left my room and went back to where the others were waiting.

Oh. You look so good, big sis. (Soleil)

Soleil is right, master. I may not really understand the reason for these, but you do look good. (Ophidia)

I feel like Ive lost. (Velvet)

Lost what? (Luna)

(Velvet)

Soleil looked at Velvet and back to . She did this a few tis then got a look like she figured sothing out.

Dont worry Velvet, I prefer them your size. (Soleil)

Velvet didnt say anything and just hugged Soleil while a blush crept up on her face.

Anyway, lets go. (Luna)

Everyone grabbed onto my arms, and I teleported us to Skadis island. When we got there, Skadi was already on the beach. She was sitting on a towel underneath an umbrella. The image reminded of sothing, but it also was missing sothing. I looked through my mories and realized what was missing.

Hey Skadi, take this. I said as I pulled out a red and white whale plush from my inventory and tossed it to her.

Thanks, but wont this get ruined by being on the beach? (Skadi)

No, I made it out of nature-resistant materials. You could even use this in combat, and it would stay in perfect condition. (Luna)

Anything you want in return? (Skadi)

Nah. I made it as a gift in the first place. (Luna)

Nn. (Skadi)

The rest of us went about setting up things like our own umbrellas and I laid out a custom made beach chair. Ophidia pulled a beachball out of her inventory and tossed it at Velvet. She caught it and then tossed it to Soleil. I took off my illusion necklace and all of my tails appeared.

Much better. (Luna)

Ive been aning to ask, why do you hide your tails? (Skadi)

The only kitsune that has more than one tail is Tamamo. If I walked around with all of mine unhidden, I would draw too much attention to myself and probably be dragged onto a lot of unnecessary things. (Luna)

Fair enough. Humans and the other races tend to be annoying like that sotis. (Skadi)

How are you with alcohol? (Luna)

Ive beaten dwarves in drinking contests before. (Skadi)

I pulled out so stuff and made so margaritas. I handed Skadi one and we both took a sip.

Fruity. Can you teach to make these? (Skadi)

Sure. (Luna)

I sat on my chair and leaned back and closed my eyes.

{I wish I could get a picture of this.}

Unfortunately, I dont have a cara.

{Whats a cara?}

Sothing that takes pictures without the need for soone to paint them. You should ask Grey for more details, he could probably explain it better than .

{Ill do that then.}

Oh, before you go do that, make sure youre free for a few days.

{Luna, Im always free.}

Oh yeah. Well, this is awkward.

{Now Im curious, why should I be free for the next few days?}

I learned a few things about my domain creation. One of them is that its basically a separate world from this one. Do you need to say anymore?

{Ufufufu. So, this is the reason you sotis get that feral looking smile. Dont worry Luna, even if I did have plans, I would cancel them all for this.}

Fufufufufufufufufufu.

Just then the ball that the others were playing with flew over and landed next to .

Co and join us, big sis. (Soleil)

I picked up the ball and threw it back to them. I then got up and started walking in their direction.

Want to join as well, Skadi? (Luna)

Why not, it seems fun. (Skadi)

She stood up as well and we both joined in the circle that they were tossing the ball between.

Lets make this interesting, the one to let the ball hit the ground has to clean everything up after lunch and dinner. (Soleil)

Youre on, Soleil. (Velvet)

Hahahahahahahahahahaha! (Ophidia)

I guess Ill have to cook a lot then if we want this competition to be worthwhile then. (Luna)

Im looking forward to eating what you cook. (Skadi)

We spent the rest of the day having fun like this. At one point our competition got so heated that Ophidia was sent flying into the sea, but she managed to keep the ball in the air. In the end it was Velvet that lost. After that I made a lunch of skewed at and shrimp-like things. Skadi and Ophidia had a small competition to see who could eat more which ended in a draw. I felt a little bad for Velvet since they left a mountain of skewers behind, so and Soleil ended up helping her.

When we finished cleaning up all of that, we went to our umbrellas and found Ophidia and Skadi napping.

Oh. This is an interesting developnt. (Luna)

Are you thinking what I am thinking, big sis? (Soleil)

Hmm. It could happen, but Im not too sure on the probability of it. (Luna)

I think the two of you are reading too much into it. (Velvet)

Hmmmm. Maybe so. (Luna)

I guess well just have to wait and see. (Soleil)

We left the two of them alone and went to our own spots. I got back onto my chair and Velvet and Soleil sat on their beach blanket.

*Yawn* I can understand why they fell asleep. (Velvet)

Iagree. Im goingto borrow yourshoulder, Velvet. (Soleil)

You can take my lap if you want. (Velvet)

Heh. Dont mindifIdo. Soleil said as she fell asleep in Velvets lap.

Im letting you know right now that Im going to go to the mansion right after dinner, Velvet. I will probably be occupied for a few days, so dont worry about . (Luna)

What are you going to be doing? (Velvet)

Things. (Luna)

I must have had that smile on my face again because Velvet sighed.

*Sigh* I think I have an idea, so Ill just ask you not to get too carried away. Just because you can make the opportunity to do this, rember that you still have other goals to achieve. (Velvet)

I know that. Its just that I feel if I dont do this, Ill go insane. I dont think you get just how hard it is for sotis. (Luna)

Really? You make it seem like its no big deal. (Velvet)

Its just because Ive beco numb to the fact I only get to be close to Tamamo once a month. It doesnt help that Tamamo has a habit of sotis saying and doing things in suggestive ways. I an seriously, who invites their significant other to take a bath in a hot spring with them and then basically invite them to do anything, but both of you know that you wont have the ti? (Luna)

Calm down Luna. Youll wake Soleil up. (Velvet)

Sorry. (Luna)

Its fine. As for what you were saying earlier, that must have been tough. (Velvet)

It was even worse after that since I kept seeing the scene every ti I closed my eyes. (Luna)

All Ill say is have fun. (Velvet)

Oh, I plan on it. (Luna)

After that we sat in silence for a few minutes. I was about to talk about sothing else when I heard more quiet breathing next to . I looked over and saw Velvet fell asleep as well.

I guess Ill take a nap as well.

I closed my eyes and fell asleep. When I woke up again, it was late in the afternoon and the others were already awake. Velvet and Soleil were throwing the ball to each other while waist deep in the water. Skadi was sitting under her umbrella and reading a book. Ophidia had made herself a makeshift spear and was going after so fish. I stood up and stretched, then walked over to everyone.

Anyone hungry? (Luna)

Can you cook these, master? Ophidia said as she walked over to carrying several fish.

Sure thing. (Luna)

I went over to the makeshift grill and stoked the fire. I prepared the fish Ophidia caught as well as so that she and Velvet bought several days ago. Once everything was done and we finished eating, I told everyone I was heading back early. When I teleported back to my room in the mansion, I went and took a bath to get all of the sand off of then went back to my room.

Once I was back in there, I imdiately used Domain Creation. Several minutes later a bright light shone in the middle of the room and Tamamo appeared.

{Llllluuuuunnnnnaaaa.}

She moved over next to my bed and I jumped into her arms. We gave each other a deep kiss and intertwined our tongues.

Author's Note:

And that's where we give them so privacy.

Atmos: Good for them.

Yep, and the next ti Tamamo is here, I'll give her the pictures that she wanted.

Atmos: You like taking risks, don't you?

I wouldn't worry about it. Once I handed them over to Tamamo, I was going to tell Luna to use the thing I gave her yesterday. I would prefer keeping my eyes.

Atmos: Good idea. Grey couldn't rember anything from after Luna fell asleep after her fifth tail grew.

Good. I was worried that it might have been too potent.

Atmos: Even if it was, I would just ask Gear to help out. He is good at mory manipulation after all.

Good to know.

Author's Note Extra:

If anyone wants to have a better ntal image of what was worn in this chapter. Soleil and Velvet's swimsuits are based on Akagi and Kaga's from Azur Lane. Ophidia's is like Projekt Red's, Luna's is based on Platinum's, and Skadi's is Skadi's all from Arknights. Thanks for reading.
