Chapter 159: Chapter 142- Finishing Up at the Shrine

[Luna POV]

After the king, queen, and Skadi left, I trained with the rest of my party for the rest of the day.  Apparently, Ophidia got really motivated after watching our fight and wanted to get stronger.  When we were done for the day, everyone but me was exhausted.

 

“Master, while I appreciate you training with me, you need to learn moderation.” (Ophidia)

 

“But that was moderate.” (Luna)

 

“EH!?” (Ophidia)

 

“You were watching dad, was I going too far?” (Luna)

 

“Maybe a little, you need to realize that even if you recover injuries and stamina with healing magic, it doesn’t recover mental fatigue.” (Deacon)

 

“Oh.” (Luna)

 

{Luna, I love you and everything about you, but I have to agree with Ophidia on this.  You need to remember that they aren’t like you and can’t manage the things that you can.  What is moderate to you is too much for others.}

 

“Sorry for pushing too hard, Ophidia.  I’ll work on it.” (Luna)

 

“It’s alright master, I still appreciate you training with me.” (Ophidia)

 

We made our way inside, cleaned ourselves, then went to eat.  After that we all headed to our rooms to rest for the night.  I was more tired than I realized since even I fell asleep the second my head hit my pillow.  The next day, we all helped clean up around the shrine.  I was in the main hall with mom, Ana, and Soleil.

 

“I’m kind of annoyed that it’s messy in here.  What happened to get it this way?” (Luna)

 

“Things like this happen when you get a large group of nobles drunk.” (Ana)

 

“While I feel the same way, why does this annoy you, Luna?” (Amagi)

 

“There are several reasons with the most prominent one being that this is my wife’s shrine that is messy.  I feel like it’s an insult to her.” (Luna)

 

{Thank you for thinking about me.}

 

‘I always think about you.’

 

{Ufufufufu.}

 

“I should have figured the reason would have something to do with Goddess Tamamo.” (Amagi)

 

“Oh, it’s rare for you to say Tamamo’s name.” (Luna)

 

“She asked me to start calling her by her name, so I’m trying to get out of the habit of just calling her Goddess.  The same goes for Ana.” (Amagi)

 

“It’s quite difficult.  Even if I’m her Apostle and have the right to say her name, I still feel like it’s disrespectful.” (Ana)

 

{You know, I never actually understood why mortals think it’s disrespectful to use the names of gods.  I mean, you want people to say you name when you speak to them, right?  So why not do the same for us?}

 

“I think it has something to do with pride.  Are there any gods that are extremely prideful?” (Luna)

 

{Several.}

 

“Then think of it like this: You are one of these prideful gods and these weak mortals call you by your name and treat you like an equal.  You wouldn’t like that would you?” (Luna)

 

{Sorry, I just can’t think in that way.  It’s hard to imagine it.}

 

“Luna, while I get what you were trying to say, I don’t think you explained it well.” (Amagi)

 

“Well, that could be completely wrong in the first place.  That’s just my opinion.  There might not even be a reason.” (Luna)

 

{Well, it’s not like it bothers me anyway.  I was just a little curious.}

 

“*Sigh*” (Soleil)

“What’s wrong Soleil?” (Ana)

 

“I feel left out.  You all realize that to people that can’t hear the Goddess, it just sounds like you’re all crazy right?  I’m just here, listening while all of you have a conversation that I can’t participate in since I’m missing half of it.” (Soleil)

 

“““Sorry.”””

 

“It’s fine, I just wish I could participate as well.” (Soleil)

 

{Just continue working on becoming Luna’s Apostle and you’ll be able to participate as well.}

 

“Tamamo said you’ll be able to participate when you become my Apostle.” (Luna)

 

“Ok, I’ll try my best to get there as fast as possible.  Wait, doesn’t that mean Velvet can already do this?” (Soleil)

 

“Velvet’s case is a little different since she is an oracle.  She could hear Tamamo when Tamamo wanted her to, but if she doesn’t want that, then Velvet can’t hear her.” (Luna)

 

“It’s the same for us as well.” (Amagi)

 

“Yep.  It’s not like we hear every conversation Luna has with Goddess Tamamo.” (Ana)

 

“I see.” (Soleil)

 

“By the way Luna, this is a completely different subject, but when are all of you leaving again?” (Amagi)

 

“In a few days.  We’ll stay to help out here then go back to Onigashima.  We need to start dungeon diving so that we can increase our levels and find stat raising items.” (Luna)

 

“Will you be coming back for the Vanquishing Festival in two months?” (Amagi)

 

“Of course.  Tamamo is allowed to come and spend the festival with me, so I will be coming here.” (Luna)

 

“Can’t you just make a domain around the entire village and spend time with her that way?” (Soleil)

 

“I can do that now, but this is something that was going to happen before I got domain creation.  I don’t know the process that she needed to go through to get permission to do this, but I don’t want whatever it was to go to waste.” (Luna)

 

{It’s not that troublesome of a process.  I just have to make sure I don’t use any of my powers and I need to hide my tails.}

 

“It’s going to be weird seeing you with only one tail.” (Luna)

 

{It won’t be a regular thing, so you don’t have to get used to it.  Just know that, aside from when you set up a domain or some other extenuating circumstance, I won’t be allowed to descend to the mortal world for 100 years after this.}

 

“Is that how it works?” (Ana)

 

{All gods get two chances to go to the mortal world every 100 years.  I’ve already done it once and going to the festival with Luna will be my second.  Of course, this is only officially, I can descend whenever I want if Luna sets up a domain.}

 

“I’m so glad I was born with an affinity for space magic.” (Luna)

 

“You really were lucky there, weren’t you, big sis.” (Soleil)

 

“Yep.” (Luna)

 

After that, we spent a few more days helping out at the shrine, then we set off back to Onigashima.

 

Chaos Realm:
Looks like things are going to start progressing again.

Atmos: True.

Grey: I should send Luna a letter and prepare a lot of orichalcum.

Finally going to add checkpoints to more dungeons?

Grey: Yeah.  It'll help increase the survivability of adventurers that dive into dungeons.  Most dungeon related deaths happen when they are making their way back from the depths.

Makes sense.

Atmos: Hey, any one want some cake?  I just made a coffee flavored one and want to see if it's any good.

I'll take some.

Grey: Me to.
