I was Betrayed then Reincarnated as a Kitsune Chapter 284: Time to Loot?

[Luna POV]

As we proceeded towards the others, I looked around at the buildings that surrounded us. They seed to be built bigger than what weve seen in the two previous cities and a lot of them had things that I could only think were for ventilation all over the roofs from what I could see.

I wonder what this city specialized in? (Luna)

We havent been able to figure that out either. We only barely explored it at all yesterday and this is the only part weve seen, but from what we did investigate, this seems like the district where a lot of alchemy was perford and dicines were made. (Velvet)

Interesting. Have you guys found any interesting items or stuff like that? (Luna)

So small things here and there, but nothing any of us can make use of. And even then, a lot of the stuff was either broken or so old it was useless. (Velvet)

Hmm. (Luna)

After several more minutes, we walked onto a different street and several minutes after that, we reached the inner wall of the city.

Over there is where we were staying last night. (Velvet)

It does indeed look like an inn or maybe a barracks. (Luna)

It has beds, so does it really matter? (Velvet)

Not really. (Luna)

We entered the building and found the others sitting around a table with so old papers scattered all over it. Skadi was sitting at the head of the table with a frustrated expression on her face as she glared daggers at a piece of paper sitting in front of her. Soleil, Ophidia, and Mio were looking over different things. Soleil had several pieces of paper that had drawings of people, items, animals, and plants with a pensive look. Mio had so kind ofthing, in her hand, and Ophidia was organizing papers next to Skadi.

Were back. (Velvet)

Hey Velvet, big sis. (Soleil)

Good, Luna, co look at this please. Im getting a headache trying to translate this. (Skadi)

Alright. (Luna)

I walked over and stood behind Skadi and looked at the paper in her hands.

Interesting. (Luna)

What is it? (Skadi)

A recipe for cookies. (Luna)

(Skadi)

Skadi then slamd the paper on the table and let out a long sigh.

And here I thought it was so important docunt or sothing. Stupid old language with words that look the sa as others. (Skadi)

Hey now, that is important, thatll make so real good cookies. (Luna)

How good are we talking here nya? (Mio)

I wont say on the level of sothing from a professional bakery or a royal chef, but better than sothing youd find in any random ho. (Luna)

Nya. You gonna make so nya? (Mio)

Later. Im going to need to find so of the ingredients since I might not have so. (Luna)

Thats a surprise. (Ophidia)

Its not that I dont have sothing that could act as a substitute, but if I used that, then itd be sothing completely different in the end. (Luna)

What are you missing? (Skadi)

It calls for sothing that I assu was only grown in this city. To , the words say its a kind of coco bean, but I dont know if there will be any still in this city or wherever the previous residents got them from. (Luna)

Well, this is a big city, so we can only hope. (Soleil)

Yeah. Oh, and by the way, most of the papers on this table are recipes for other stuff. Other than that, there are what I think are ledgers or so kind of registry. (Luna)

*Sigh* All that ti I spent, and I mistranslated all of it. I thought most of these were so kind of code so military types used to use. (Skadi)

Well, they could also be so kind of hidden alchemy recipes, but since I dont know alchemy above making basic healing and stamina potions, I wouldnt really be able to gleam any secrets from them. (Luna)

Basic? Luna, the stamina potions you make are what would be considered highest quality. (Velvet)

I think thats just due to the ingredients. And even then, the ones I hand out to people are the successfully made ones. I fail more than I succeed when making them. (Luna)

What ingredients do you use nya? (Mio)

Aside from the basic herbs, I also use so wyvern materials. I an, what else am I going to use the wyvern stuff for? Its not like I know how to make armor or weapons and aside from the at I use for cooking, I have no idea what else to do with it. And no one say sell it, we already have more than enough money that we could literally live for probably a few thousand years before we have to worry about running out. (Luna)

Well, putting aside Lunas nonexistent sense for material worth, shall we head out and look around the city more? (Velvet)

Everyone else agreed to Velvets words and they all stood up at the sa ti.

Lets all et back here in a few hours and share what we find. (Skadi)

With those words, everyone filed out of the room, leaving standing there alone.

Did I say sothing strange?

{No, I think they were all excited to go out and loot whatever they could find.}

If thats the case then I can totally understand. Its not every day you get to explore a completely abandoned city. (Luna)

{Youre heading straight for that tower now, arent you?}

You know it. If its going to be mine, I should at least get a layout of the place so I can figure out what Ill use it for.

{Are you going to collect any interesting kind of building you find and add it to your island?}

If I was going to do that, then I would have been stealing buildings since the start of the journey. I have standards, one of which being that the place needs to be abandoned.

{Ufufufu. So, if the places you thought were interesting were also abandoned, then you would have taken them?}

Absolutely. By the way, Im still on the lookout for any ruined or abandoned castles or forts. If I cant make it work out for the final product of the island after its renovations later, then Ill just place it sowhere else or repurpose its materials for the island renovations.

{While I doubt youll need the materials, you could always place them sowhere else and we could use it as a vacation ho.}

True, but wouldnt we just need to change the scenery of our ho for the sa effect?

{Yeah, but there are places in the Divine Domain that you could never imagine in the mortal world that we cant make our ho look like.}

I didnt know that. Anyway, we can talk more about this at so other point. I have a tower to explore and an abandoned city to loot, I an inspect for things that I can use for myself or the others.

{Just say loot. Its not like anyone will be mad at you for taking stuff if its all been abandoned for hundreds of years.}

Then loot awaits .

Chaos Realm:

Grey: Oh, is this the first abandoned city Luna gets to loot?

Yeah.

Grey: Good for her. The first abandoned city is always the most fun.

Atmos: Now that I think about it, you did that a lot when you were a mortal. Though you also had a penchant for running into traps. I'll never forget that one ti you were chased out of an old, abandoned temple being chased by a boulder.

Grey: For the record, I ran from the boulder for a bit, I could have destroyed it if I felt like it.

Atmos: Hehehe.

Order: Payto, co here.

Coming.

*Payto leaves the room*

Atmos: Hey Grey.

Grey: Hmm?

Atmos: I'm gonna hug you now.

Grey: What brought this on all of a sudden? Not that I'm complaining.

Atmos: Just seeing Payto and Order being all close and stuff. Not to ntion Luna and Tamamo.

Grey: Wait, is this a roundabout way of you telling you-

Atmos: No. I am not hinting at anything like that. I do not want a baby and I won't want one anyti in the near or far future. Do I want to be more intimate with you, yes, but I do not, in any way, want to have a kid.

Grey: I just needed to make sure. I'm not ready for that either.

Atmos: I know. That's not saying I won't change my mind one day, but for now or a few million millennia more.

Grey: Good to know. Now, about that hug.

Atmos: Get over here.
