I was Betrayed then Reincarnated as a Kitsune

Chapter 186: Sailing

[Luna POV]

Skadi spent some time teaching me the ins and outs of sailing, I made a lot of illusory mes and got to work preparing for departure.  Though I now had the theoretical knowledge, I needed actual experience, so Skadi was standing next to me and would point out anything I was doing wrong.

I dont know what to say about this.  There are so many big siss. (Soleil)

Illusion magic is crazy nya. (Mio)

Eh, I feel she could probably do more with it. (Velvet)

Indeed.  With masters capabilities, this is probably simple.  Though I dont get how she is controlling all of this. (Ophidia)

Because shes Luna. (Velvet)

That makesperfect sense actually. (Ophidia)

Ignoring the comments from the others, we sailed out of the cave.  Once we were out, I snapped my fingers and a space barrier appeared over the island.

Whats that for, Luna? (Skadi)

Im eventually going to come back here to use the docks and I dont want other people to ransack the place. (Luna)

I see.  What are you going to use it for? (Skadi)

Once I meet a certain alchemist and convince him to help, Im going to gather him, Blake, and Ana, and the four of us are going to work on making these into ships capable of sailing in the sea and air. (Luna)

You just dont know when to quit, do you? (Skadi)

If Im going to ascend to godhood one day, I want to at least leave my mark on the world as a somewhat mortal first.  I mean, Grey was a hero at one point and I technically was as well but normal people dont know that and being an S-rank adventurer is just something that helps me out while traveling. (Luna)

Never in my life have I heard of someone thinking the status of S-rank was just for making it easier to get to places. (Skadi)

Theres a first time for everything, Skadi. (Luna)

After saying that, I turned my attention back to captaining the ship which I had renamed the Argo.  We spend about an hour going in the direction of the mainland with the only sound being the wind and waves.  Deciding to spice it up a bit, I started to sing with a chorus of illusory mes joining in.

Now were ready to sail for the horn.  Way hey, roll and go. (Luna)

You know, I knew she had the singing skill, but Ive hardly ever heard her actually sing. (Velvet)

Shes good nya.  She could be a performer instead of an adventurer nya. (Mio)

Hmmmm-Hmm-Hmmmmmm. (Soleil)

Joining in, Soleil? (Velvet)

What can I say, its catchy and for some reason, very fitting.  Though its also a bit unsettling with all of the illusions joining in. (Soleil)

Ill agree to that nya. (Mio)

Hey Luna, sing another one and let me know the lyrics.  Ill join in. (Skadi)

I smiled and started on another one after telling Skadi the lyrics through telepathy.

Oh! Santiana gained a day; Away Santiana!

The ship then started to speed up a little and I glanced at Skadi to see her smiling a little and glancing back at me before looking ahead again.  This made me smile as well and sing even harder.  I assumed Skadi was using one of her divine skills since I could see her eyes glowing a bit when she glanced at me.

{Ufufufufufufu.  Its nice to see you having so much fun, Luna.}

I smiled even more at Tamamos words.  I was having the time of my life.  It felt like I could just forget the problem I was going to have to deal with once we got to land again.  Once we finished singing that song, I taught Skadi a few more, and we started up again.  Skadi then taught me some of the shanties that she knew and we sung those as we sailed.  We started to quiet down as land came into view.  I folded up the sails and we came to a near stop after a few minutes.

As fun as this was, we should teleport now.  The people of that city know this as a pirate vessel, so it wouldnt be a good idea to dock there. (Luna)

I quickchanged into my usual clothes and everyone got ready to teleport.  I made the illusions vanish, froze the sea next to the ship and we went to stand on it.  Once everyone was there, I stored the ship in my inventory and teleported us to the Celestia Kingdoms guild.

Luna, you still have the hat on. (Skadi)

I know.  I want to keep wearing it for a bit.  I dont care if it looks weird. (Luna)

Ignoring the surprise on the other adventurers in the guild, we went up to the desk where Tomoe was waiting.

Its good to see all of you again.  It seems like someone new has joined you since the last time you were here. (Tomoe)

Yeah, Mio joined our party.  Skadi is with us for now, but I dont know how long shell stay with us. (Luna)

Might as well just stay permanently.  I have a reason to stay after all. (Skadi)

And that answers that. (Luna)

Alright, Ill add Miss Skadis name to your party.  Now, what can the guild do for you today? (Tomoe)

Im going to endorse Soleil for S-rank nya. (Mio)

And Im doing the same for Ophidia. (Luna)

I see.  Then this is the birth of the first ever party of all S-ranks.  Now, Follow me to the master. (Tomoe)

We did as she said and followed her as the adventurers started muttering to themselves.  We went to the usual room downstairs and met Grey in his office.

Hahahahaha.  About time this happened.  Now, to the giving of titles and such. (Grey)

Grey stood up from his desk and stood in front of the two of them.

I, God of Adventure, name these two as S-rank adventurers.  I bestow the title of Dovahkiin to Soleil and the title of Ouroboros to Ophidia. (Grey)

*Sigh* I should have expected that. (Luna)

Haha.  Whats wrong, Luna, dont like them? (Grey)

Not that, but Im disappointed that I didnt think you would give them those names, I mean, I thought you would have gone for something more grandiose. (Luna)

Luna, you should know me better by now.  Ill go for a reference over all else when the situation calls for it. (Grey)

I know.  Now, can I ask you to do something for me while we are here? (Luna)

What is it? (Grey)

I need you to find Damien Crowe. (Luna)

The other hero that stayed this time?  What for? (Grey)

Im going to get him to help me create flying ships. (Luna)

Grey got a wide smile on his face when he heard my words.

Got it, Ill mobilize the best trackers I can.  Hell be found within the month.  Anywhere you want me to send him specifically? (Grey)

As reluctant as I am to do this, send him to my home then let me know. (Luna)

Alright, itll be done.  Im assuming you already have the ships then? (Grey)

Three of them to be exact. (Luna)

I figured you had at least one due to the hat, but three is also good. (Grey)

He then looked back to Soleil and Ophidia.

Hand me your cards, Ill update them. (Grey)

They did as he asked and he sat back down at his desk.

While Im doing this, where is your next destination? (Grey)

The Elf Nation.  The fluff spirit has done something that he shouldnt have and I have to clean it up. (Luna)

Sounds fun.  Here you two go. (Grey)

He handed back the new cards and we got ready to head out again.

See you again, Grey. (Luna)

Yeah. (Grey)

We left Greys office and the guild.

Chaos Realm:

Hmm.  Order, how would you like to sail like that some time?

Order: Seems fun, but how would we go about doing that?

I mean, we could sail the chaos outside, it's kind of like a sea in a sense.  All I'd need to do is make a ship capable of withstanding it.

Order: Will you need my help with that?

Yeah.  It'll be our first collaborative work as a family.

Order: I like that idea.  Let's get to work.

*We stand up and leave the room*

Atmos: Well, that happened.

Tamamo: He seems to be a lot freer now.  Or is it uninhibited?

Atmos: Both?

Tamamo: Guess finding someone to actually spend time with does that to a person.

Atmos: Now that you say that, that's true.  The two of us are like that as well.

Tamamo: Really?

Atmos: Yeah.  Skadi is as well.  Remember how she used to be?

Tamamo: Oh yeah.
