[Luna POV]
When we arrived back at Lias ho from our day of slaughter, I slumped down in a chair.
Stupid slow leveling, stupid monsters that dont give enough exp. (Luna)
Ummm, whats wrong with her? (Lia)
You know she levels slowly, right? (Velvet)
I do now. (Lia)
Well, she wanted to make it to level 66 today, but she didnt, just level 65. (Soleil)
Not my fault that all the monsters here dont give enough exp before them dying screws up the ecosystem. I an seriously, youd think monsters like a behemoth would be worth a lot. (Luna)
(Lia)
Well, ignoring Luna, Lia, what can you tell us about a festival or sothing like it happening here soon? (Skadi)
Oh, guess its that ti of year already. Its a hunting festival held every year where several people go out and try to capture the largest boar they can. Winner gets a lot of rare dicinal plants, and a stat raising item. (Lia)
Boar you say? (Luna)
Yeeees? (Lia)
Lia, is there such a thing as an Erymanthean Boar? (Luna)
Its a legendary boar that is the reason this whole festival started. A long ti ago, a boar that is said to be the size of a wyvern terrorized a newly built capital. The most skilled hunters back then grouped up, tracked it down, and hunted it. When they brought it back, they cooked it and it fed the entire city for a month. After that, the city held a festival to celebrate the occasion. Over the years, it turned into sothing completely different as things tend to do over ti. Now, its a competition to see who can bring in the biggest boar. Whyd you want to know? (Lia)
Thanks Lia, you just improved my mood. Ill be participating. (Luna)
Ok, have fun. It starts in three days and youll have a week to bring in what you can. (Lia)
Fufufufufu. Ahahahahahahahahaha. Number five. Night everyone. (Luna)
I got up from the chair and left the room.
Do I even want to know? (Lia)
No big deal nya. Another one of her goals nya. (Mio)
When I made it to the room, I jumped onto the bed.
Tamamo.
{Luna.}
Tamamo.

Fufufufufu.
{Ufufufufufufu.}
Progress to my tenth tail shall soon be made. Even if I have to break my limits to do so.
{aning?}
There is no guarantee that there is an Erymanthean Boar in this whole forest, so if I need to look at the entire world with my space magic, I will.
{You dont need to go that far. I dont want you getting hurt just so you can speed up the process of getting another tail.}
Oh fine, if there isnt one, Ill just do what I can.
{Not going to do it anyway?}
You said you didnt want to hurt myself, and I dont want to worry you. Plus, I dont want to hurt myself either.
{While Im happy that you take my thoughts into consideration, it also doesnt seem like you. Whats up?}
Ive been thinking about stuff while I was hunting today. And sothing that I noticed, or well, always knew about, is that Im impatient. I want to enjoy my ti down here, I really do, but I also want to spend every waking mont with you. Its so hard to balance these two things sotis that it drives crazy. And the thing is, there are a variety of ways I can join you indefinitely, but they will all end badly. I can just set up domain after domain for us, but then wed basically be stuck in one place forever unless I go and set up one at another place. Or, I could go on an indiscriminate monster genocide, but that would ruin multiple ecosystems. Then there is the option of dungeons, but I run the risk or Atmos chests. Thing is, I feel like my progress has stagnated. I feel stuck. Things hardly give enough exp to level up at a regular rate. I an, Soleil is going to reach level 100 before I do at this point. If you see this story anywhere else other that ScribbleHub, it is stolen and I request you tell and report it.
{Honestly Luna, I dont know how to help with this. I an, I will listen to you vent, but I also feel like Im the last person that should give you advice on this topic since Ill just encourage you to do whatever you want. Why not ask the others their opinions?}
If I did, I feel like I would be saying that Im tired of adventuring with them and just want to be done with this. And that isnt even true. I love it. Going places with them, hunting monsters, talking with them, just having fun in general. I dont want to take all of that away from them since I like to think they enjoy it as well.
{Youre overthinking it, Luna. They will understand if you talk to them about it. Plus, I feel like I should apologize to you.}
What? Why?
{Because its my fault you feel like this. Because of my divine protection, you level slower and thats causing you to feel bad and not consult your close friends.}
This made mad. I created a domain and then opened a tear in space and pulled Tamamo through it.
Bad Tamamo.
{Eh!?}
Sit, seiza style. Now.
She did as I said while being confused.
Dont you ever bla yourself for that again. Your divine protection is one of the greatest things to have ever happened to in this life and my last. Its a symbol of us and our connection, just like these rings. Sure, even if you never gave it to , Id find a way to get to you, even if I had to throw this world into chaos to do it. So what if I level slower? Yes, I said I was impatient, but that doesnt an that you need to feel bad about it. Think Tamamo, its thanks to this that Ive accomplished as much as I have. If you didnt give your divine protection, calling you my wife would be just that, saying it.
{Actually, you would have still gotten the Fated One title, even without the divine pro-}
Shh. Yes, Im fated to be with you, but even if I wasnt, Id still find a way to get you to be mine. I fell for you the first ti I saw you. Like I said, if it ant I could beco yours, and you beco mine, Id turn into the worst calamity or greatest blessing for this world.
I moved closer to Tamamo, knelt down in front of her, and kissed her.
So, dont you ever, EVER, feel like apologizing about so insignificant part of your divine protection. You understand?
She nodded her head timidly.
Good. Now what are you still sitting on the floor for when we should be sitting on that couch over there brushing each others tails and making out?
I picked Tamamo up in a princess carry, went over to the couch in question, sat down, and locked my lips with Tamamos.
Chaos Realm:
I'm bbbbbbaaaaacccccckkkkkk.
Order: Welco back. Like you said, I felt sothing with my Authorities. What was it?
That rumbling we felt was the creation of a new world in another layer of the chaos outside. What I had to do was make sure nothing was off about it and to establish the hierarchy of the pantheon there. By the way, and you are top of the top like we are here.
Order: Oh. Will we start watching that place as well?
Not at the mont. If we did, it'd get a bit unstable, so we'll hold off for a few millennia.
Order: I didn't think we'd be able to see it that soon.
Yeah. Can't wait to see what the others that co here will think of it when they show up to see it.
Order: That's allowed?
As long as they only watch it from here and don't try to go there themselves, then yes.
Order: Alright. Now what was up with my Authorities?
Like I said, and you are the top of the top in the hierarchy there as well. It's the sa deal as in Luna's world really, I just added you there since you're my wife.
Order: I see.
Are you mad about doing that without asking first?
Order: No, but I don't like being left alone here for a few days. So you will pamper to my satisfaction as recompense.
Fine by , milady. Anything you want, I will provide.
Order: Then why are you standing there when the spot next to is empty and your lips aren't on mine?
Did you learn that from Luna?
Order: So what if I did?
Not complaining, just need to reward her for that.
Order: Shut up and kiss already.
