Chapter 284: Time to Loot?

[Luna POV]

As we proceeded towards the others, I looked around at the buildings that surrounded us. They seemed to be built bigger than what weve seen in the two previous cities and a lot of them had things that I could only think were for ventilation all over the roofs from what I could see.

I wonder what this city specialized in? (Luna)

We havent been able to figure that out either. We only barely explored it at all yesterday and this is the only part weve seen, but from what we did investigate, this seems like the district where a lot of alchemy was performed and medicines were made. (Velvet)

Interesting. Have you guys found any interesting items or stuff like that? (Luna)

Some small things here and there, but nothing any of us can make use of. And even then, a lot of the stuff was either broken or so old it was useless. (Velvet)

Hmm. (Luna)

After several more minutes, we walked onto a different street and several minutes after that, we reached the inner wall of the city.

Over there is where we were staying last night. (Velvet)

It does indeed look like an inn or maybe a barracks. (Luna)

It has beds, so does it really matter? (Velvet)

Not really. (Luna)

We entered the building and found the others sitting around a table with some old papers scattered all over it. Skadi was sitting at the head of the table with a frustrated expression on her face as she glared daggers at a piece of paper sitting in front of her. Soleil, Ophidia, and Mio were looking over different things. Soleil had several pieces of paper that had drawings of people, items, animals, and plants with a pensive look. Mio had some kind ofthing, in her hand, and Ophidia was organizing papers next to Skadi.

Were back. (Velvet)

Hey Velvet, big sis. (Soleil)

Good, Luna, come look at this please. Im getting a headache trying to translate this. (Skadi)

Alright. (Luna)

I walked over and stood behind Skadi and looked at the paper in her hands.

Interesting. (Luna)

What is it? (Skadi)

A recipe for cookies. (Luna)

(Skadi)

Skadi then slammed the paper on the table and let out a long sigh.

And here I thought it was some important document or something. Stupid old language with words that look the same as others. (Skadi)

Hey now, that is important, thatll make some real good cookies. (Luna)

How good are we talking here nya? (Mio)

I wont say on the level of something from a professional bakery or a royal chef, but better than something youd find in any random home. (Luna)

{While I doubt youll need the materials, you could always place them somewhere else and we could use it as a vacation home.}

True, but wouldnt we just need to change the scenery of our home for the same effect?

{Yeah, but there are places in the Divine Domain that you could never imagine in the mortal world that we cant make our home look like.}

I didnt know that. Anyway, we can talk more about this at some other point. I have a tower to explore and an abandoned city to loot, I mean inspect for things that I can use for myself or the others.

{Just say loot. Its not like anyone will be mad at you for taking stuff if its all been abandoned for hundreds of years.}

Then loot awaits me.

Chaos Realm:

Grey: Oh, is this the first abandoned city Luna gets to loot?

Yeah.

Grey: Good for her. The first abandoned city is always the most fun.

Atmos: Now that I think about it, you did that a lot when you were a mortal. Though you also had a penchant for running into traps. I'll never forget that one time you were chased out of an old, abandoned temple being chased by a boulder.

Grey: For the record, I ran from the boulder for a bit, I could have destroyed it if I felt like it.

Atmos: Hehehe.

Order: Payto, come here.

Coming.

*Payto leaves the room*

Atmos: Hey Grey.

Grey: Hmm?

Atmos: I'm gonna hug you now.

Grey: What brought this on all of a sudden? Not that I'm complaining.

Atmos: Just seeing Payto and Order being all close and stuff. Not to mention Luna and Tamamo.

Grey: Wait, is this a roundabout way of you telling me you-

Atmos: No. I am not hinting at anything like that. I do not want a baby and I won't want one anytime in the near or far future. Do I want to be more intimate with you, yes, but I do not, in any way, want to have a kid.

Grey: I just needed to make sure. I'm not ready for that either.

Atmos: I know. That's not saying I won't change my mind one day, but for now or a few million millennia more.

Grey: Good to know. Now, about that hug.

Atmos: Get over here.
