I was Betrayed then Reincarnated as a Kitsune Chapter 226: Returning Home Once Again

[Luna POV]

A few days after an exciting night with Tamamo, we were preparing to head out. We had said our goodbyes to Lia, Dia, and Cres and were waiting for the princesses, Zeke, and Shana.

Hmm. They are taking a while, arent they? (Luna)

Big sis, allow to speak so common sense. This is normal, all we do is throw everything in your inventory and were done. Normal people and people that dont have space magic dont do that. (Soleil)

Not to ntion that the space magic inventory is limited to the amount of mana one can use. (Ophidia)

Ugh. This world spoils too much. Ive beco so used to having an inventory that I forgot such a simple thing. (Luna)

{Its alright Luna, that just ans you run on a different kind of common sense. As for the world spoiling you, Ill spoil you even more if you want.}

Ill never not accept that. Especially if it goes both ways since I enjoy spoiling you as much as you do . (Luna)

As I flirted with Tamamo, the party we were waiting for arrived. They were in two separate carriages from their respective countries.

Ophidia, mind taking the second carriage? (Luna)

Not at all, master. (Ophidia)

I moved to get on the Celestia Kingdom carriage and Ophidia moved to the Beast Kingdom carriage.

We head to Celestia first, then the Beast Kingdom. Everyone get ready. (Luna)

Do you want to go to the castle grounds, or outside the city, master? (Ophidia)

Castle grounds for Celestia, a little outside the city for the Beast Kingdom since Ive never visited the castle there. (Luna)

Alright. (Ophidia)

Once everyone was settled, we teleported. The landing was a little rough due to the different terrain, but nothing too bad. I looked outside of the carriage I was in to see if Ophidia had any trouble but it didnt seem like it. We all got out of the carriages.

Thank you for this, Luna. Ill have father get you the paynt in a bit. (Pneuma)

Dont worry about it right now, since you all insisted on paying , Ill co and collect it later. (Luna)

Ill hold you to that, so you better not just be making an excuse to not collect it. (Pneuma)

Tch. Fine, I really will be back then. (Luna)

Why are you so averse to us paying you for this? (Zeke)

Because we already have too much money. Like, so much that we could buy out probably every shop here and still have too much left over. (Luna)

Wait really!? (Pneuma)

Yeah. I an, we dont really ever spend that much and we just keep accumulating it. I have considered donating it to places anonymously, but I will wait for that when Im closer to ascending. (Luna)

Hmm. Then do you want your paynt to be donated to sowhere anyway? I an, if we just add to the already large pile, then by the ti you ascend, the economy of the continent will probably be mostly yours. (Zeke)

Thats probably for the best. Just donate it to wherever you think is best and treat that as my paynt then. (Luna)

We said a few more things before we moved over to the other carriage to leave.

See you guys again at so point, and tell Dro I said hello. (Luna)

We all waved at each other and we teleported away again. This ti, we ended up near one of the forests close to the capital Savanna.

Ah ho, its been so long. (Selene)

Yeah, but then again, you havent really missed much, sis. The only big things were an undead attack and big brothers wedding. (Selena)

Hey, I regret missing the wedding. It just would have taken too long to co back before it started. (Selene)

I know, I was just giving you a hard ti since its fun ssing with you. (Selena)

Geez. Luna, help out here. (Selene)

Cant. Im the sa way, when I see soone that is fun to ss with, I go for it. Im not doing that right now since your twin is already doing so. (Luna)

For the record, she is not lying. Big sis does this to all of us regularly. (Soleil)

Indeed. (Velvet)

I just cant win, can I? (Selene)

Youll get used to it nya. (Mio)

Really? (Selene)

Youll need to nya. (Mio)

Then Ill do my best. (Selene)

Selena, that ans you need to up your ga as well. (Luna)

Indeed. (Selena)

Luna, dont encourage her. Ive given up on you, but I dont want other people becoming closer to soone like Atmos. (Skadi)

Why did you give up on ? Im still not THAT bad. (Luna)

Ok, yeah, that was a bit harsh. But still, dont encourage it. (Skadi)

Fine, I wont encourage it too much. (Luna)

And thats how you do it. (Skadi)

I see. Thank you, Miss Skadi. (Selene)

No problem. (Skadi)

Soon after this small conversation, we entered the capital. After a little more ti, we got to the castle gates and were t with a small group of people with Lobo in the lead. When he saw and my party get out of the carriage, so understanding flashes across his face.

I was wondering why I was told a royal carriage was seen entering the city. Turns out it was Lady Luna bringing my two daughters ho early. (Lobo)

Eh, just felt like helping out so friends. (Luna)

And again, thanks for this, Luna. (Selene)

No problem. (Luna)

What about paynt? How much is this going to cost us? (Lobo)

I discussed it with these two already, just talk with them about it. (Luna)

Alright. Will you be staying here for any amount of ti? (Lobo)

No, were heading to the shrine after this, though we will be in the country for so ti. (Luna)

Alright. Mind if I call all of you if sothing needing S-rank adventurers cos up? (Lobo)

I an, as far as I know, we are the only ones here at the mont, so sure. (Luna)

Alright. See you so ti then. (Lobo)

Co and visit soti Luna, everyone. (Selene)

Indeed. We will look forward to it. (Selena)

We waved at them before teleporting away once more. This ti, we arrived in front of the shrine.

{Not teleporting to your room this ti?}

Nah, too many people. (Luna)

{Fair.}

We headed inside. Walking around the shrine I noticed how there werent many people around.

I wonder where all the shrine staff are, they shouldnt be preparing for new year this early. (Luna)

I dont know either. Maybe there is a coming of age ceremony today? (Soleil)

Possibly. Tamamo, do you know anything? (Luna)

She didnt respond.

Well, Tamamo isnt saying anything, so that might be it. (Luna)

Thats as good a confirmation as any, I suppose. (Velvet)

We walked until we got to the residential part of the shrine where we first headed toward moms office just in case sothing else was going on. When we got there, all we found was dad. When we entered the room, he looked up from whatever he was doing.

Oh, what a pleasant surprise. (Deacon)

Hey dad. Where is mom, Ana, and the rest of the shrine staff? (Luna)

Several coming of age ceremonies are today, so they are taking care of that. (Deacon)

Figured. Just making triple sure. (Luna)

And to what do we own the pleasure of all you coming here today? (Deacon)

Were here for the new year. We just decided to get here early. (Soleil)

Ah. Wait, why do I have a bad feeling about this? (Deacon)

No idea. (Luna)

{Im back for now.}

Oh, Tamamo. How was it? (Luna)

{Just as cringy as I made it before. I really regret younger s actions when making this ceremony up.}

Goddess Tamamo, what exactly does Luna have planned for the new year? (Deacon)

{Just spending ti with and a few others, why?}

Oh dear. (Deacon)

It wont be that bad, itll just be a small get together. (Skadi)

Skadi, when Luna is involved, is it ever just small? (Deacon)

Yes, for the most part. (Skadi)

Velvet? (Deacon)

What are you asking for? Ive gotten used to whatever Luna does being anything but small for normal people. (Velvet)

Oh, so youve finally gave in. (Deacon)

Pretty much. Its more fun and enjoyable that way. (Velvet)

Just then mom and Ana ca into the room.

Oh, welco ho. (Amagi)

Hey mom, Ana. (Luna)

(Ana)

Ana was looking at Soleil and Velvet and squinting her eyes. She then gave Soleil a thumbs up and Soleil repeated the gesture. Mom and dad just tilted their heads in confusion before moving on.

So, whats up? (Amagi)

Just here for the new year. (Luna)

Dont be fooled, she has planned so get together and I dont think it will be a normal one. (Deacon)

Luna. (Amagi)

What? All I was going to invite was the people from last new year with the addition of Fenrir so she and Mio can see each other. (Luna)

And I thank you for that nya. (Mio)

Just ask and Ill set up a domain for the two of you. (Luna)

Nya. (Mio)

*Sigh* (Amagi)

Oh dont worry, all of you are invited as well. I wont leave my family out of it. (Luna)

!!! (Ana)

Whats wrong mom? (Soleil)

D-does that an I will be eting even more gods? (Ana)

Naturally. (Skadi)

I dont know if this feeling Im feeling is excitent or dread. (Ana)

Why would it be dread? Theyre all nice people. (Luna)

{Luna, just let her feel what she feels, shell get used to it eventually. She has to.}

Fair enough. (Luna)

Chaos Realm:

Order: Is Soleil's mother going to be alright?

Yeah. Like Tamamo said, she'll need to get used to this before too long, so Luna is just helping her out.

Order: Ok. Though I am surprised that Luna's parents aren't just as shocked.

They are, they just hide it better than Ana.

Order: I see. Anyway, want to go on another boat trip?

Sounds fun, let's go.
