Chapter 133: Chapter 118- Self Serving Lunch

[Luna POV]

After lunch, we continued walking down the road.  I was about to start singing a little to stave off the boredom when my presence detection skill started going off.  I used my space magic to see what was coming and noticed what it was.

 

“When I say down, all of you drop flat to the ground, we have company closing in fast from the sky.” (Luna)

 

They all nodded at my words and prepared to move.  After a few more seconds the monster was close enough.

 

“Down!” (Luna)

 

All three of them dropped flat and I jumped and did a backflip over the monster.  Since it didn’t expect us to dodge it, it was surprised and slammed into the ground.

 

“SSSKKKRRREEEEEEEEEEE!”

 

“Big bird.  I wonder what it tastes like?” (Luna)

 

It tried to get up, but I froze it to the ground.

 

“Soleil, how about you add some heat?” (Luna)

 

“Shouldn’t we pluck it first?” (Soleil)

 

“Just burn the feathers off, I’ll keep it cool enough so the meat doesn’t burn.” (Luna)

 

The both of us had hungry grins on our faces that seemed to intimidate the bird.  It started to struggle even more against the ice keeping it grounded to no avail.

 

“Yol-Toor.” (Soleil)

 

The bird went up in flames while I regulated the heat with my ice.  When the flames engulfed it, it died instantly and soon after a nice smell started wafting about.  I pulled some salt out of my inventory and sprinkled it onto the cooking bird.

 

“While I’m not going to complain, didn’t we literally just eat lunch?” (Velvet)

 

“So, are you just going to pass on a meal that delivered itself to you?” (Luna)

 

“Like I said, I’m not complaining, just curious about why the first thing you thought of is eating the thing once you saw it.” (Velvet)

 

“If you look at Ophidia, your question should be answered.” (Luna)

 

She did as I said and looked over to Ophidia.  She had a crazed look in her eyes that she only ever got when we ate something I put effort into making good.

 

“Hehehehehe.  To think I would run into one of these so far from home.” (Ophidia)

 

“You know what this is Ophidia?” (Velvet)

 

“I don’t know the name, but I do know that these are delicious.  These hardly ever left their nests on the mountain peaks, so I rarely ever caught one, but when I did, I enjoyed them immensely.” (Ophidia)

 

“Think this was the monster that was reported in the area?” (Soleil)

 

“Possibly.” (Luna)

 

I walked up to the now cooked bird and tore a piece off.  I ate it and was surprised.

 

“Oooooh.  Even with just salt, this is great.  Not as good as wyvern, but better than something like high orc.” (Luna)

 

The others came over and ripped a piece off for themselves.

 

“You’re right.” (Soleil)

 

“I agree.” (Velvet)

 

I looked at Ophidia since she didn’t say anything and saw tears of joy flowing like rivers down her face.

 

“Want me to save the rest for later Ophidia?” (Luna)

 

“Mhmmm.  Mmm.  Hmmm.  Mhmmmm.” (Ophidia)

 

“I’ll take that as a yes.” (Luna)

 

I stored the rest of the bird and we started on our way again.  After that, we had another uneventful few days.  Right now, we were walking up a large hill.  When we reached the top, we could see a town in the distance.

 

“That should be the town of Mid.  Do you guys want me to fold space to get us there faster, or do you want to walk like we have been?” (Luna)

 

“““Fold space.”””

 

“A unanimous decision.  Actually, before I do that, do you want to try Ophidia?” (Luna)

 

“I can’t do that yet master.” (Ophidia)

 

“Oh.  Anyway, lets go.” (Luna)

 

Everyone grabbed onto me, and I folded space.  We ended up half a mile away from the wall.

 

“Why did you choose this spot rather than right in front of the wall?” (Soleil)

 

“I didn’t want to surprise any guards.” (Luna)

 

“Makes sense.” (Soleil)

 

When we got to the town, we ended up in a line.  There were several merchant wagons in front of us, but the checks were efficient and we only waited for an hour before making it into the town.  The guards’ reaction when they saw me and Velvet’s guild cards was hilarious.  One of them even wanted to show us around, but we turned him down and just asked for directions to an inn.  He told us where to go and we made our way there.

 

“While I don’t mind camping, it’ll be nice to sleep in a bed.” (Velvet)

 

At Velvet’s words, we all nodded our heads in agreement.  Then after a few minutes of silence, Ophidia spoke up.

 

“Come to think of it master, you have infinite mana now, right?” (Ophidia)

“Yes.” (Luna)

 

“Couldn’t you have made an illusory house and given it physical form instead of us needing to camp out in tents?” (Ophidia)

 

“…” (Luna)

 

“Master?” (Ophidia)

 

All three of them looked at me because I stopped after hearing Ophidia’s question.

 

“I never considered that.  I’m so used to not being able to do that without Tamamo’s help that it completely slipped my mind.  I feel like an idiot now.” (Luna)

 

“It’s ok big sis, it’s not like we hate camping out.  If anything, it’s more fun in tents than a portable or illusory house.” (Soleil)

 

“While I agree with you, if some people from my previous world heard that, they would think you were crazy.” (Luna)

 

“Really?” (Soleil)

 

“Yep.  In that world, camping can be seen as a leisure activity.  People even make portable homes just for the sake of camping.” (Luna)

 

“Did you ever do any of that?” (Soleil)

 

“Several times, both in a tent and a mobile home.” (Luna)

 

“Interesting.  Which one did you prefer?” (Velvet)

 

“Depended on where I went.  Hotter places I preferred the mobile home, cooler the tent.  Though my favorite places to camp were mountains.” (Luna)

 

{I see.  Maybe I’ll change the scenery here a bit then.}

 

‘As long as you keep the tree, then go for it.’

 

{Of course.}

 

“Speaking of trees, the next time we go back to the island, want to help me find a good place to plant the Lunar Sakura seed?” (Luna)

 

“Sure.” (Soleil)

 

“Sounds like a good idea to me.” (Velvet)

 

“What’s a Lunar Sakura?” (Ophidia)

 

“Think of it as a magical tree that is very pretty.” (Luna)

 

“Then I’ll help as well.” (Ophidia)

 

As we continued to chat, we came up to the inn.  It was fairly large at five stories tall.  We went inside and paid for a room with three beds.  On the way to our room, we passed by two employees that were arguing with each other.  They both stopped when we passed by them and up the stairs.  As soon as we entered the room, we all sat on a bed and relaxed for a few minutes.

 

“Does everyone else think we should take a break from travelling tomorrow and look around the town for the day?” (Luna)

 

“I second the notion.” (Velvet)

 

“I’ll agree to it as well.” (Soleil)

 

“What was it you said earlier today master?  A unanimous decision?” (Ophidia)

 

“Yep.  It means we all agree on what to do.” (Luna)

 

“Then the decision to take a break tomorrow is unanimous.” (Ophidia)

 

-Back downstairs-

[Mordred POV]

“That was them.” (Mortem)

 

“I know.” (Mordred)

 

“Finally.  Now all that’s left to do is put the plan in motion, so don’t get in my way.” (Mortem)

 

I was about to say something back to him when I suddenly felt dizzy.

 

“What?” (Mordred)

 

“Don’t think I don’t know you, Mordred.  I know you were planning on going and spilling everything to then in order to get rid of me and my brother, so I decided to get you out of the picture as well.  Of course, I don’t plan on killing you yet, I haven’t gotten to torture you for all the humiliation you put me through throughout the years, so for now, just sleep.” (Mortem)

 

As my consciousness started to fade, I managed to say one final thing.

 

“Heh.  I can’t wait…to see…you fail.” (Mordred)

 

I saw a look of fury on his face just as my vision went black.

 

Chaos Realm:
Tamamo: Does Mordred know more than she let's on?

No, I think she was just trying to set Mortem off.  He's a prideful one, so any insinuation of him failing will make him angry.

Skadi: Doesn't Mordred think he would just kill her on the spot then?

They've known each other for years, so she knows how to push his buttons in just the right way to make him mad, but not mad enough to kill her on the spot.

Grey:  Aside from that, I don't think they'll keep their plan for exploring the town the next day.

Skadi: I get the same feeling.  I do wonder how well his plan will go though.

Tamamo: With Luna's healing magic, I don't see any future where he succeeds.

Skadi: I had the same thought, but I guess we'll just have to see.

Grey: Any input from you?

Nope.  If I say anything, it'll ruin what will happen for everyone here.

Atmos: Hey, do you have any more lemons?  I'm making a giant cake to drop on Tamamo's stalker and I need more.

I'll go get them, how many do you need?

Atmos: As many as you can bring me.

Got it.
