[Luna POV]
I was laying in bed that night thinking of the things I needed to do now that Soleil was going to join us. While itll be easy to get her to D-rank, the harder part is helping her level.
Ugh. What should I do, Tamamo?
{About what?}
Helping Soleil catch up with us. Although this is reality, there were many stories in my past life that had a character join with soone or multiple people that were way stronger than themselves, and throughout the adventure, that person notices how weak they truly are. That, more often than not, led those characters to do reckless things in order to get stronger, and those reckless things tended to drag everyone into sses that were dangerous. I dont want that to happen.
{This is tough. An easy solution would be to ask Crate to give you sothing like the thing you ended up using on Velvet, but I know you, and you wouldnt do that.}
Do you know any titles that help in cases like this other than things related to Divine Protection and Fated Ones?
{Blessings can do that, but you cant give those yet, and I doubt you would want another god to bless Soleil.}
I would be fine with you, Atmos, or Grey, but thats about it. I feel like asking a favor from Quetz, Crate, or Gear would put in a troubleso situation down the line.
{None of my blessings would have the effect you want, Atmoss have more effect on things like intuition and other abstract things, Grey would be the best bet, but he would probably ask you to do sothing of equal value for him.}
What would he consider equal value to a blessing?
{No idea. He was a human at one point, so I dont understand how he thinks sotis. He could ask for sothing as small as a special item from you to asking you to give him the floating island you are going to conquer, though I doubt he would do the latter.}
Think I should pop over there and ask him?
{You can try but I dont know if hes still working, and havent you said that you cant teleport to his office?}
Thats the thing about getting a third tail, I feel like things that I couldnt do before have beco possible or at the very least nearly possible. It would still take a lot of mana, but I think I could pull it off.
{Is it that big of a power boost?}
To put it in an easy way to explain, if skills didnt stop at level ten, my skills would jump just as much as my stats after I get another tail. Thats the feeling I get anyway.
{How interesting, it never felt like my power grew when I got a new tail.}
Maybe its because you didnt get them through gaining power but age that they gave a smaller boost?
{Who knows. Well need to see once more kitsune gain more tails.}
Can that happen? I thought I could because of your divine protection and the Fated One title.
{It should happen. I think the way I got more tails is the natural way and you are an exception due to those things you ntioned. Its just that no kitsune naturally lives that long.}
Wouldnt that turn them into gods once they get nine tails then?
{No. You becoming a goddess is the effect of the Fated One title.}
Guess Ill just need a way to make my family immortal and well learn in ti then.
{Ufufu. Dont worry about that Luna. That is sothing that we can think about when you ascend.}
All right. Im going to try teleporting to Greys office now.
{Good luck.}
I concentrated on my magic and brought up the place I wanted to teleport to in my mind. I activated the magic and felt a large amount of resistance, but it wasnt enough to stop from forcing my way through with my large amount of mana. It took longer than the normal instant, but I made it through the resistance and popped up in the middle of Greys office.
I took a few second to recover from using so much mana in such a short amount of ti. When I recovered enough, I looked around and saw Grey watching , waiting until I could speak before starting a conversation. When he saw I was good, he started to speak.
Im impressed that you managed to teleport here while only having three tails, Luna. To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit tonight?
A few questions.
Ask away.
What kind of effect does your blessing have?
2x increase in stats every ten levels.
What would I have to offer you to bless Soleil?
Get her to B-rank in a month, and Ill do it. If you cant manage that, Ill do it, but youll have to give the floating island.
I thought over his offer. I weighed the two things in my mind before deciding.
Deal. Even if I have to give you the floating island, that just an I have to find myself another one.
Good luck.
After hearing his words, I teleported back ho and imdiate fell asleep from using all of my mana.
[Grey POV]
After Luna left my office, I went ho. When I got there, I was greeted with Atmos staring right at my face.
So Grey, why did you issue her a trial like that? Its not like you.
Because she probably wouldnt accept it if I just outright agreed.
Fine, but if she does end up having to give you her island, what are you going to do with it?
Gift it to her and Tamamo for their wedding.
Atmos thought about my words for a few minutes before looking back at .
Why did I never think about that?
Because you only think of the most difficult ways to give people things.
I guess youre right.
While were on the topic, do you think shell manage to get Soleil to B-rank in a month?
Well, she will have an easy ti getting her to D-rank since there is a kobold king in the forest near Tamamos shrine and she can easily teleport between the capital and there. If shes willing to out her space magic, she can cut the ti getting to Celestias capital by three weeks, giving her the escort achievent. If she really pushes herself, she can teleport her party to the last few floors of the dungeon to clear it again. And its extrely easy to do a delivery quest.
Youre forgetting that there are rank up tests.
Were talking about Lunas little sister here. Her sheer motivation to join Lunas adventure made her reach the point she can join her a year earlier than even I planned.
Howd that happen?
Not sure. It might be because shes been around Luna for so long or maybe its because she was at one point as deep into the abyss as one could get with the exception of Luna.
If thats the case, wouldnt she be insane right now?
No, that charm skill saved her from that and when its effect disappeared, it took away all the negative effects that the abyss would have had on her with it.
So, in either case, it has sothing to do with Luna.
Yep.
Luna is one really crazy person. I an, she shouldnt have been able to teleport into my office yet, but she did.
I think thats because she is getting closer to establishing her divinity. Shell beco a demigod when she gets five tails, and she is only two away from that. Of course, when she reaches that point it just ans that her Authorities will be cented as hers, but she wont have full access to them.
Shell have partial access?
I think so.
Thats way better than what I went through, I had to fully ascend before getting access to my Authority.
Hahaha. Thats because her Authorities arent as abstract as yours.
Good point, though I would argue that Fluff is pretty abstract.
Not at all. Fluff is sothing that all things know. Its sothing that, if it wasnt there, would take away half of all aning to life.
Thats just dramatic.
It isnt.
At that mont, Atmos fell silent, and she got a distant look on her face. After a few seconds, she returned to normal. When she did, she had an enormous smile on her face.
Thats the look you get when sothing entertaining happens.
What I just saw will be entertaining for all of us but the victims.
Who is it and what did they do?
Wyverns, and they royally pissed off Luna.
Can I ask how?
Lets just say that they denied an important part of her.
But arent wyverns only as intelligent as a decently smart goblin?
When I said they denied a part of her, I ant that they deny it by existing.
Oh.
Not like it matters much in the end since she was eventually going to hunt them all down anyway.
Think shell share so wyvern at with us?
A better question would be is if shell cook sothing with it then share it with us.
Shes that good?
Her cooking skill is at level ten. Then there is the skill boost she gets when she gains another tail. I bet she could give the God of Culinary Arts a run for her money.
Impressive. Maybe I should have had that as the condition in our deal instead of what I actually did.
To late to take it back now.
At those words I sighed and went to bed.
Author's Note:
Tamamo: Just out of curiosity, how strong is the barrier around Grey's office?
Atmos: About as strong as a dungeon's hundredth floor's atmospheric mana level.
Tamamo: So she can easily teleport to the dungeon's fiftieth floor and help Soleil clear it?
Atmos: Yep. Of course, doing that will drain her mana a lot and she'll need to wait to get it back to a point she is comfortable with, but it won't be that difficult.
Tamamo: If all of this is that easy, then why did he give her a whole month, and why even add the other condition if he's just going to give Soleil the blessing anyway, and don't get started on the asking for the floating island, even if he has plans on giving it back.
Atmos: Because he knows Luna would probably prefer it this way. She's trying to do what you told her and enjoy the mortal world. If she wanted to she could just go on an indiscriminate slaughter to level up to be with you, but she isn't. At least for the rest of the world, wyverns are different.
Tamamo: If it's like you say, then I can only support her. By the way, can you tell what exactly you ant when you said wyverns existing deny a part of Luna?
Atmos: Just wait and find out.
Tamamo: Fine.
