Chapter 273: A Taste of Dwarven Culture

[Luna POV]

When I woke up the next morning, I witnessed something very sweet. Velvet had her arms wrapped around Soleil while Soleil had her tail wrapped around Velvets waist.

How cute.

{I agree. While I do love having multiple tails, sometimes I miss only having one. Especially in a situation like that one.}

I completely get what you mean. Multiple tails get in the way sometimes and its annoying modifying my clothes every time I get a new one. But I dont regret getting more in the slightest.

{Im just glad you thought up that quickchange thing when it comes to certain activities. Itd be such a turn off to watch you struggle removing your underwear.}

Praise be to my inventory skill, though I guess I can at least wear illusory clothes underneath my normal clothes too. Decisions, decisions.

{Im all for whatever you choose to do.}

At that moment, Soleil started to move around. I saw her eyes open, but they were still clouded with sleep, meaning this was half-asleep Soleil.

Thisll be fun to watch.

{Indeed, though now Im curious about what would happen if they were both half-asleep.}

I hope to find out one day.

My half-conscious sister looked around the room for a second before her eyes fell on Velvets sleeping face. A sloppy smile then spread across her face. She unwrapped her tails from around Velvets waist and then moved Velvets head to her chest where she started to stroke her head.

Ehehehehe. My precious Velvet, all for me. (Soleil)

Soleil closed her eyes again and started to hum a song that we both heard a lot when we were little before she drifted off to sleep again.

That was adorable.

{It was, though I half expected her to start kissing Velvet as well.}

Same.

{By the way, when are you going to heal your noses?}

Im honestly a bit reluctant to at the moment. I dont know if any sewer smell attached itself to us and we didnt bathe last night.

{Then why dont you wake those two up and go take a bath?}

Might as well. I kind of want to see what these dwarven baths are like since Skadi spoke about them.

I got up from the bed and went to shake the other two awake.

Oi. Wake up, we have something to do. (Luna)

Nothing happened when I shook them but some unintelligible grumbling so I went with the next best method. I moved two of my tails and tickled their noses. They couldnt smell anything, but that wouldnt stop them from sneezing.

Achoo! (Soleil)

Well, thats one up. (Luna)

Big sis? (Soleil)Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

Since this method wasnt working on Velvet, I just put a finger on the back of her neck and used a small amount of ice magic.

COLD! (Velvet)

And theres the other one. (Luna)

What was that for!? (Velvet)

To wake you up. Get up, were going to take a bath before I heal our noses. (Luna)

Oh right. I was wondering why I couldnt smell anything. (Soleil)

How do you forget you something like that? (Velvet)

Maybe she still isnt fully awake. Velvet, kiss her and see what happens. (Luna)

Dont have to tell me twice. (Velvet)

Yes, master. By the way, where are you going to teleport us to? (Ophidia)

Well, we were on our way to a bathhouse when you contacted me. So thats where were starting the day. (Luna)

I was wondering what that smell coming from you was. (Ophidia)

So, I really do stink. Good thing I didnt heal my nose yet. (Luna)

Do we even want to know? (Skadi)

Ill tell you when we get there. Lets go now. (Luna)

I grabbed the two of them by the arms and teleported back to the bathhouse. The three of us then went behind the red curtain and started to undress. I put my dirty clothes into my inventory and placed a clean set in the basket next to Velvet and Soleils stuff before walking into the bathroom proper. It still looked like a Japanese hot spring resort from an anime only more old fashioned. I quickly washed my body at the washing area before going over to the tub and sinking into it.

Aaaaahhhhh. Just like a hot spring. (Luna)

Yeah. Its quite nice. (Velvet)

I agree. And sitting in a tub this big kind of reminds me of when I was little and mom would get you to take a bath with me, big sis. Though the ones at the shrine werent as big as this. (Soleil)

It really does feel like those times. (Luna)

Skadi and Ophidia then walked over and sank into the water.

Mmmmm. Its hard to beat dwarven baths. (Skadi)

Master, I request that when you remodel the floating island, you add at least one large bath like this. (Ophidia)

Alright. Ill see what I can do, though I feel like Ill have enough room for more than just one. (Luna)

Yes, that sounds delightful, now, can you tell us what you did yesterday? (Skadi)

Oh, just destroyed a thieves guild since we could. (Luna)

Yeah. It was based in the sewers of the city, but that was really the only downside of that whole pastime. (Soleil)

And the part where I almost fell in a few times. (Velvet)

You almost fell in a few times? (Luna)

Yeah. A few spots were too wet, and I almost slipped into the sewer water. Im more surprised you two didnt have any problems like that. (Velvet)

Wait, so just because you could, you destroyed a thieves guild? And you didnt invite us? (Skadi)

Well, if you two werent away the whole day, you could have joined us. (Luna)

Thats actually on me, I kind of fell back asleep when I teleported us off the ship. (Ophidia)

Eh, its not like it was a big deal. Not really as exciting as some of the other things weve done, but it was enough to get the boredom out of my system. (Luna)

I then leaned back and closed my eyes as I soaked in the water. We all relaxed there for a while before we decided it was time to leave. We all got out and dried off. After getting dressed again, we left the bathhouse and decided what we should do for the rest of the day. After a lengthy discussion, we decided to go around the city to let Ophidia and Skadi get a feel for the country of dwarves before moving further into the country.

Chaos Realm:

Again with the eyes?

Order: Yes. Even though I trust you completely, I must still take precautions. In-chan made it very clear that even the most faithful of husbands can get wandering eyes.

What would she know? She doesn't even like men in the first place. At least not in that way. And though that is true for mortals, I have enough respect for you as well as Luna and her party members to not peek at them in this situation.

Order: You make a good point.

Thanks for removing your hands, but what's with this situation now?

Order: First, I just want you to only see me right now, that's why I'm sitting in your lap. Second, stop playing the fool, you know exactly what I'm doing and the reasons behind my actions.

Both of these statements are true. I just wanted to see what it was like to act like one of those clueless people for a change.

Order: And your verdict on it?

It's dumb and I am positive I will cringe at even thinking of trying that act in a few years.

Order: Then let me replace that memory with a better one.
