I was Betrayed then Reincarnated as a Kitsune

Chapter 152: Break Day

[Luna POV]

After returning to the surface again, we went through the daily routine of handing over our maps and going to our room.  I laid down on the bed and sighed.

*Sigh* I think we should take a break tomorrow. ( Luna)

Any reason nya? (Mio)

Not really, I think its just time for us to, weve been doing this for nearly two weeks without stopping and I want to take a break.  Of course, we dont have to, its just my opinion. (Luna)

Im not complaining nya.  I was just curious. (Mio)

If thats what you want to do, then Ill agree to it master.  I can take some time to send Skadi some letters. (Ophidia)

Im all for it as well. (Velvet)

Im going to sleep in tomorrow. (Soleil)

Then tomorrow is officially a break day. (Luna)

After talking for a little while, the others started falling asleep while I laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

You know, while I normally dont mind not being able to fall asleep, its sometimes annoying.  Even I want to at least take a nap sometimes.

{Ufufuf.  Youll get used to it soon enough.  Once you do, then youll be able to sleep or stay awake whenever you want.}

I would think Im already used to it.

{You might be, maybe youre just not in the mental state to sleep.}

Maybe so.  But at least youre here to keep me company or else I think Id go crazy.

{Ufufufu.  Even if you did, I would still think you were cute.}

I blushed a little at her words then changed the subject.

So, what did you think of the meat?

{It was good.  I still prefer your wyvern meat dishes, but what you got and sent today just barely loses to it.}

Yeah, its hard to beat wyvern meat, though I still want to at least try dragon one day before I ascend.

{While thatll be difficult, I hope you succeed.}

Am I still on par with dragons, or can I easily beat them yet?

{If I had to say, you surpass them in mana, obviously, but you still need to improve a bit in other areas if you want to easily beat them.  Id say theyd give you a fight close to the ones you have with Skadi.}

You realize that makes me want to find and fight them all the more, right?

{I do, but I also know that there are no dragons anywhere near you.  Even with your spatial movement, it would take a long time to find one, so you should put this off until some other point in time.}

Oh well, some other day then.  By the way, how long is it until the next full moon?

{A few days.}

Yay!  I can finally see the remodeled place.

{Ufufufu.  I hope you enjoy it.}

Of course I will, Ill be with you after all.  Id be happy even in a sewer if I was with you, though I hope we never end up in a place like that.

{I feel the same way in both regards.}

*Yawn* Oh, Im finally a little sleepy.  Ill talk to you again tomorrow.  I love you Tamamo.

{I love you too, Luna.}

With Tamamos final words ringing in my head, my consciousness dimmed as I went to sleep.  I ended up dreaming about Tamamo that night and just as the dream was getting to the good part, I started waking up.

Tch.

{Whats wrong?}

Even my dreams about us always end just before things get fun, though that doesnt really matter now that I can make a domain.

{You were dreaming something good then?}

Fufufu.  Of course.

{Luna, stop that before we both go wild.}

Fine, we can have some fun like that when we are together in a few days.

{I like the sound of that.}

I got up out of the bed and stretched.  I then changed and started to leave the room.

Ill let them all sleep in since its a break day.

I walked out to the lobby and found a few people up.  When I entered the room, they looked at me for a second before returning to what they were doing.  I looked around at all of them until I saw the usual receptionist that talked with us.  I went up to her and explained that we were taking a break today then made my way outside.  After climbing the stairs and exiting the small building I found myself in a completely white landscape.

Ive never seen this much snow even in my previous life.

{Does this beat that one dungeon floor?}

By a long shot.

I took in a deep breath and let it out.  My breath came out in a large white cloud that made me feel like a dragon.

Hahahaha.  Doing that brings back so many memories of when I was a child in my previous life.

I then remembered something that I havent done in a while.  I created several illusory stands and set up some of the hero(lol) and saint(lol) portraits.

Yep, they still piss me off.  Its like theyre mocking me.

I put some distance between me and the paintings and as I was about to pull out a bow, I got another idea.

I dont even need a bow when I can just make one.

I created an illusory bow and an arrow.  I pulled the string back to see if I got everything right.  I then dispelled it and remade it again.  I did this over and over until I finally mad a satisfactory one and then prepared the arrow.  When I released the arrow and it struck the portrait of the hero(lol), I thought I heard a weak yelp of pain.

Heh.

{I dont think Ive ever seen such a smug smile on your face before.}

Heh.

{Keep doing what youre doing, I want to see this for as long as I can.}

*Thunk*

Heh.

*Thunk*

Heh heh.

*Thunk thunk thunk*

{Heh.}

I continued shooting arrows into the portraits for at least an hour when I heard someone coming up to me.

What are you doing big sis? (Soleil)

Heh.  Just some archery practice. (Luna)

Can I try it out? (Soleil)

Sure, if you can pull the string back. I said as I handed over the bow.

Soleil tried her hardest, but the string wouldnt even budge.

How were you doing that, big sis? (Soleil)

Well, I have more strength than you, and also that bow is just an illusion, so its as hard to pull back as I want it to be.  Try it now. (Luna)

She did as I said and had an easier time.

You were messing with me the whole time, werent you? (Soleil)

No, I wanted to see if you could pull the string back with it set to something I like. (Luna)

I think only someone like Skadi could do that. (Soleil)

Anyway, aim for one of those portraits. (Luna)

Again, she did as I asked and aimed, pulled back the string, and released an arrow.

I missed. (Soleil)

Bows take time to get used to, try again. (Luna)

I stepped back a bit and watched Soleils posture.  I then told her to hold the bow and draw back but not shoot.  I walked up to her and fixed the areas that werent right, then told her to shoot.  This time she hit the target.

Why did I hear a small scream when the arrow hit? (Soleil)

Heh. (Luna)

Big sis? (Soleil)

Dont worry about it. (Luna)

I then made myself another bow and stood next to Soleil.

Watch me and try to apply what I do to yourself and you will improve. (Luna)

{I dont think thats how that works Luna.  Not everyone can learn something just by watching.}

Soleil is talented so shell be fine.  Not to mention that I fixed her posture once already, so she will remember it.

I then pulled the string back and let an arrow loose.  It struck the portrait of the saint(lol) right between the eyes.

I see. (Soleil)

Told ya.

{Indeed you did.}

Me and Soleil stayed there and practiced archery for another hour before we decided to go back in and find something to eat.

Chaos Realm:

Tamamo: Smug Luna is a cute Luna.

Indeed.

Atmos: Why does it feel like her smug aura mocks me?

Tamamo: Because she out-smugs you.

Atmos: Shocking revelation!

Did Grey somehow show that anime to you?

Atmos: What's anime?

H-he never told you!?  I'm gonna need to have words with him now.
