Chapter 104: Serenading Tamamo


    [Luna POV]


    Over the two days of waiting for Ophidia I was very busy. The first day I spent collecting the ruins beneath the ind and the second day I dedicated to finishing my song for Tamamo. Ophidia returnedte afternoon on the second day and she looked exhausted.


    Im backmaster. (Ophidia)


    Wee back. How was it? (Luna)


    Fun, but the Greyt One was very strict. (Ophidia)


    How long was it for you? (Luna)


    Two years. He didnt let me leave until my skills hit level five. (Ophidia)


    What skills did he make you learn? (Velvet)


    Brawling, martial arts, boxing, and dancing. (Ophidia)


    I told him not to teach you anything weird. (Luna)


    Dancing actually helps with movement, so I dont think its that strange. (Ophidia)


    Then maybe I should try and get that skill as well. (Luna)


    He sent me with a message for you as well master. Ophidia said as she handed me a letter.


    [Hey Luna, Ive finished drilling the basics into your followers head and got her skill up to mid-level. I also made her a D-rank adventurer, so you dont have to worry about spending time ranking her up as a bonus. You dont need to worry about any kind ofpensation so just keep doing whatever youre doing.]


    Well that makes things easier. (Luna)


    What did he do, big sis? (Soleil)


    He promoted Ophidia to a D-rank adventurer so that we dont have to spend time doing that ourselves. (Luna)


    Well that makes things easier. (Velvet)


    Master, do you have what you promised? (Ophidia)


    Of course. I said as I pulled out a lot of grilled wyvern meat and presented it to Ophidia.


    The second she saw everything, she immediately started to eat. At that moment I started to get drowsy.


    I guess its time. See you all tomorrow. (Luna)


    Have fun. (Velvet and Soleil)


    Master? (Ophidia)


    Can one of you exin, I dont want to end up on the floor. (Luna)


    Thats fine, just go to your room. (Velvet)


    I teleported myself to my room andid down on my bed. When I closed my eyes, I instantly fell asleep. When I next opened my eyes, I saw a silver-leaved tree. I got up, but I didnt see Tamamo anywhere.


    Tamamo?


    {Im over here.}


    I went over to where I heard her voice and found her sitting at a table with a lot of food piled on top of it.


    {Its my turn to conquer your stomach, Luna.}


    So, my heart isnt enough?


    {It wont be enough until I conquer your everything.}


    I see. I guess I need to start working on doing the same.


    {Ufufufu. Whos the one leading the other on now.}


    Its only fair.


    I sat down next to Tamamo, and she picked up some chopsticks.


    {Its my turn to feed you Luna.}


    I guess this is how the turn tables.


    Tamamo had a beautiful smile on her face as she fed me the delicious food she made.


    {How is it?}


    Are you sure youre not a god of cooking, because I think you must be.


    {Im d youre enjoying it; I tried my best.}


    I can tell.


    When everything was finished, we moved to our favorite spot under the lunar sakura. My head was in Tamamosp, and her tails were in my hands.


    Tamamo, your tails are starting to feel like mine. Theyve always been close, but now its starting to get hard to tell the difference.


    {Interesting. Maybe the Abyss of Fluff is epting me.}


    But if Im the Abyss of Fluff, then this should have happened a long time ago.


    {Then perhaps its because we get closer every time youe here.}


    Maybe. Now, lets switch.


    Tamamo and I swapped ces. She ced her head in myp and I moved my four tails to a spot where she could hold, hug, and pet them.


    {I still think I have a ways to go before I match this level of fluff. Honestly, I could just wrap myself in them and live in them.}


    Fufu. I just got a picture of a fairy sized Tamamo living in my tails.


    To solidify the image, I conjured an illusion of what I said and the Tama-fairy jumped into my tails like a swimming pool.


    {How cute, but its only fair if I get a Luna of the same size.}


    Tamamo conjured her own fairy sized illusion of me, and it did the same thing that my illusion did. Both of the illusions popped their heads out of our tails and saw each other. When that happened, they both made their way to each other and started hugging.


    I didnt make it do that.


    {I didnt either.}


    We both cancelled the illusions and looked at each other.


    {Ufufufufufu.}


    Fufufufufufu.


    {I guess even our illusory selves cant help but be attracted to each other.}


    I can understand how they feel.


    {Same.}


    We sat in afortable silence when I decided to sing a little. I started out with some songs that I remembered from my past. I started with All of Me. When I finished that song, I started to sing A Sky Full of Stars. After that one, I moved on to Fly Me to the Moon.


    Those were a few songs I could remember and fit the mood we have right now.


    {Wonderful. On that note, how has the song you said you were writing turned out?}


    Listen and tell me what you think.


    Silver, Gold, shine in the night


    Stare at the stars as they shimmer with the moon


    Fear nooooootthe daaaaaaark, fear noooooot the night, the light of silver and goooooold


    Stare up aaaaaaand wonder, stare up aaaaaaaaand count, as the stars shimmer, the moon simmer


    Woah, one will wait to touch another, woooooah how long till we are with one another


    Under the light of silver and gold, the moon and the staaaaaaaars


    Lay down oh child,y down ohfriends, star into the night with silver and gold"


    When I finished singing this song, I looked down at Tamamo. She had a pleasing smile on her face and tears in her eyes like the first time I showed her stars.


    {It was beautiful, Luna.}


    Thank you. I have two more, but I dont think we have the time for me to sing them to you tonight.


    {How unfortunate, but theres always next time.}


    Tamamo sat up and wiped her eyes. She then took me into her arms and gave me a deep kiss. I reciprocated and we stayed like that until my body started to glow and I was returned to my room. I stayed sprawled on my bed with a smile on my face and a content feeling in my heart.


    Author''s Note:


    I feel like I should apologize for posting thiste, but it''s actually a decent time for me instead of stupid o''clock in the morning.


    Atmos: Then just don''t mention anything. By the way, that song was lovely.


    I know right. There are two more that were suggested and I have them in saved so I can use them in the future.


    Atmos: Very good, I can''t wait for them to show up.


    If that''s how you feel, then I can''t wait for Tamamo''s reaction.


    Atmos: I agree. By the way, do you know what''s up with Tamamo''s tails bing equal to Luna''s in Fluff levels?


    It''s just as it was said, the closer the two of them get, the fluffier the both of them get.


    Atmos: So it''s not just Tamamo?


    Of course not.


    Atmos: I''m starting to fear for the world. If Luna''s Abyssal Fluff gets any fluffier, then the fluff spirits that are starting to appear might start causing problems.


    You don''t need to worry about that, if anything it will make the world a better ce.


    Atmos: Are you ok? Your eyes are a bit zed over.


    What are you talking about Atmos? Do you doubt the fluff? That is something that needs to be fixed.


    Atmos: Now wait. Why are there so many great fluff spirits in here? Where did theye from? LUNAAAA! HELP!


    It''s toote Atmos. She can''t hear you.


    Atmos: NOOOOOOooooo.........THEY''RE SOOO FLUFFY!
