I was Betrayed then Reincarnated as a Kitsune Chapter 221: At the Academy Once More

[Luna POV]

When I went to the usual room, the rest of my party, Lia, Cres, and Dia were sitting around.

Hey all. (Luna)

Oh, youre up. Thats good. (Lia)

Hey master. Im glad youre alright. (Ophidia)

Yep nya. (Mio)

Indeed. Oh, Luna, before we brought you back, a space spirit appeared and told to tell you not to do what you did again until you ascend. (Skadi)

I was already going to not do it again. I didnt like what was left behind after I did it. (Luna)

What was left behind? (Ophidia)

Nothing. And I an absolute nothingness. (Luna)

I see. So thats the weird feeling I got. (Ophidia)

As we were discussing this, Cres ca up to and attempted to bow.

[My Goddess, if I may make a selfish request?] (Cres)

I was montarily taken aback by his changed attitude but snapped out of it quickly.

Speak. (Luna)

[May I see your fluff in its fluff fluffiness? Since I last saw you, oh goddess mine, you only had two tails. It would do this humble fluff spirit good to see your progress.] (Cres)

[I would like to request this as well, oh goddess mine.] (Dia)

Dia ca to stand beside Cres and bowed similarly to him. I decided to humor them, so I removed my necklace and all my tails appeared in their full, fluffy force.

[Oooohhhhh. Amazing, my goddess. Absolutely amazing.] (Cres)

[Indeed, my goddess. An impressive sight.] (Dia)

Oh please, Im no where near the level I need or want to be at. Im still missing three after all. (Luna)

[Your goal is 10?] (Cres)

Yeah, ever since Tamamo got a tenth tail, I have made my second goal to get the sa amount. Coincidentally, I made progress on that the other day. Now, unless sothing is different than what I know, I have at most seven more things to do to reach that point. (Luna)

[Interesting. Does that an more of my kind will be brought into the world soon?] (Cres)

No idea. (Luna)

Lunya. You look good nya. And I request to nap in your tails at so point please nya. (Mio)

Youll have to wait in line for that. So far, you are third. (Luna)

Whos in the first and second spot nya? (Mio)

Tamamo and Atmos respectively. (Luna)

{Oh, you rember that?}

Naturally. (Luna)

But, you have seven nya. Cant we all get one nya? (Mio)

Oh, my sweet, naive Mio, think. Would you like to nap in a single tail, or in a bed of ten? (Luna)

A bed of ten nya. (Mio)

Not going to lie, that is a tempting thing to think about. (Skadi)

Indeed. (Ophidia)

So fluffy. (Lia)

[Goddess, thank you, but please put them away before my Lia gets drawn in too much.] (Dia)

I put my necklace back on and six of the seven tails disappeared.

[Thank you, goddess.] (Dia)

No problem. (Luna)

{Oh, Mio, do you have any plans for the day today?}

Nyot really Goddess Tamamo nya. (Mio)

{Then go and get ready and Ill bring you here to see Fenrir. Shes been eagerly waiting for the day you two get to spend together.}

Then I must get ready imdiately nya. (Mio)

Mio dashed away from the room.

Im not even going to ask. Talking with all of you always leads to interesting, yet headache inducing things. (Lia)

[Fufufu. Thats what happens when you are around soone with a divine protection, Lia. They always bring a small amount of chaos with them wherever they go.] (Dia)

{How would you know, spirit? You are only recently born.}

[While I was going around my goddesss island, a lunar spirit appeared and taught many things. Thats why I know as much as I do.] (Dia)

{Ah. That makes sense, they were always a calm, knowledgeable bunch. It would make sense if a few of them sought out a spirit attuned to the Authority of my wife to et and teach them, space spirits excluded.}

[Yes. The one that visited was quite nice.] (Dia)

So, what are you going to do today, master? (Ophidia)

Im going to the Academy. Tamamo reminded of sothing Ibuki said and Im going to try and see if I can find that person. Plus I kind of want to visit Pneuma and the others as well. (Luna)

Then youre lucky that the Academy is still off for the festival. Otherwise youd have to wait for a few days before going to visit anyone aside from Mimir. (Lia)

Indeed. Also, is princess Selena still here, or has she already gone back to the Beast Kingdom? (Luna)

She should still be here for a week or so more. After that, students from abroad will go back to their countries for the new year, so she and her sister will be leaving at the sa ti. (Lia)

Thanks for the info. Since I want to go ho myself for the new year, I might offer to teleport them back. (Luna)

Sounds nice, magic that lets you travel to wherever youve been to. (Lia)

It IS convenient. Anyway, thats what Im doing today, what about you two? (Luna)

Were going to the Academy as well. My mother wants to talk with Ophidia so more. (Skadi)

Let et her as well so ti. (Luna)

You will inevitably et her soday, so just wait for that ti. (Skadi)

Fair. (Luna)

We chatted a little longer with Lia before she needed to go and finish sothing in the castle. After she was gone, we left in the direction of the Academy. When we got there, we separated. Skadi and Ophidia imdiately went to the shrine dedicated to Skadis mother and I went to see Mimir. When I got to his office, he closed the book he was reading and gestured for to sit.

Good day to you, Lady Luna. How can I be of service? (Mimir)

There are two things. The first, I need to know about soone that should be attending here from Onigashima nad Suzuka. And second, I would like to know if Pneuma and the other people I t here before are free to see today. (Luna)

Starting from the second one, they are free today and I can send a ssage to them saying that you wish to et with them. As for the first thing, may I ask the reason for looking for Suzuka? (Mimir)

Ibuki, her relative, asked about her at one point when I t her, so I thought Id do sothing nice and check on this person for her. (Luna)

Ibuki? That woman is still alive!? (Mimir)

Oh, was she famous? (Luna)

When the demons were a wilder bunch, she was a cruel leader of thousands. I thought she was killed at so point since she fell into obscurity. (Mimir)

Huh. She didnt give off that feeling at all. To , she seed like a sowhat overworked office worker. (Luna)

Guess you never know what youll learn if you live long enough. Anyway, Suzuka should be around sowhere here, give a little bit and I can tell you where the two of you can et. Shes a little eccentric as many young demons are, but then again, so are you, so youll get along with each other quite well. (Mimir)

Ill take that as a complint and leave it at that. Anyway, should I co back here once that is done to get the ssage to Pneuma and the others? (Luna)

No need, Ill let them know youre here and to expect you at so point. By the ti you are done conversing with Suzuka, just head straight to the place you last t with them. (Mimir)

Thank you, Mimir. (Luna)

Its nothing, Lady Luna. If anything, I still owe you for dealing with that fungus monster. As a spirit that has lived in this forest for thousands of years, but possesses little combat power, I am deeply grateful to you for ending it. (Mimir)

Hey, I got my seventh tails from that, so it worked out for as well. (Luna)

A few minutes passed in silence as Mimir had a far away look in his eyes. When he beca focused again, he told where I could find Suzuka.

Then Ill let you get back to whatever youre doing. (Luna)

See you again, Lady Luna. (Mimir)

I left Mimirs office and went to the place he told I could et with Suzuka. The place I was told to go was a large open plaza built on several thick branches of the tree. People were milling about talking, reading, and other things people do in academies. I started walking around to try and find the person I was looking for with the description I was given.

{Oh, is that her? Over there by that fountain.}

I looked in the direction Tamamo pointed out and saw a person matching the description Mimir gave . She was sitting on the edge of a fountain reading a book. She had long orange hair, dull gold eyes, and two horns that reminded of Tomoes. I made my way over to her and then spoke.

Excuse , are you Suzuka? (Luna)

I am. She said as she looked up from her book.

Nice to et you, my na is Luna. (Luna)

No fair. (Suzuka)

Hmm? (Luna)

No fair. You look so damn cute. How can soone like you exist? Its like youre mocking every average girl that cares about their looks. (Suzuka)

I was dumbfounded and had no idea how to reply.

{Ufufufufufufufu. Shes right, you ARE absurdly cute. And all of that cuteness is mine.}

U-um, thank you? (Luna)

Youre welco. Now sit, you are going to tell everything you do to look so good and you cannot leave until Im satisfied. (Suzuka)

I did as she said unconsciously.

Now spill, give all your secrets. (Suzuka)

Chaos Realm:

Atmos: Wow. Soone that managed to catch Luna in their rhythm instead of the other way around.

Indeed.

Order: That is a surprising developnt.

Tamamo: I think I like that Suzuka girl. She understands Luna's cuteness.

Atmos: My dear Tamamo, you better watch out or she'll go after Luna.

Tamamo: Lies. Luna is mine and only mine as I am hers and only hers. I trust her to completely turn anyone but down imdiately.

And you're confidence is well founded.

Order: Atmos, that was going to be a joke in bad taste if you kept going.

Atmos: Yeah. I don't know why I even tried that. Maybe I just need to cause so mischief to get it out of my system before I do sothing I'll regret.

...

Order:...

Tamamo:...

All three of us: She's learning.

Atmos: OI!
