Chapter 302: Arrival at the Merfolk City

[Luna POV]

Though it was still a good distance away, from what I could tell, the city was massive. It was also very colorful, like it was made of the most vibrant coral or some similar material.

Im kind of nervous. (Soleil)

How come? (Luna)

Well, we pretty much only learned the absolute basics of the language, so what if we cause a misunderstanding that makes this whole trip a waste? Like, what if I say something meaning one thing, but the other party takes offence to whatever I said or worse? (Soleil)

Me and Skadi will be there to handle it if something like that happens. (Luna)

Not to mention that something like that wont happen anyway. The merfolk are quite amiable and as long as you dont kill someone, then youll be able to resolve something as simple as some messed up communication. Oh, but make sure you dont mention anything about immortality, theyre kind of jaded about that. (Skadi)

We should be fine then, immortality doesnt come up very much in normal conversation. (Ophidia)

Youd be surprised. (Skadi)

Well, you didnt teach them the word for it, so as long as the two of us avoid it, then it should be fine. (Luna)

True. (Skadi)

As we approached the city, Tamamo came back and started to speak to us.

{Luna, Soleil, be prepared. What Soleil said about pranks a while back made Atmos upset and shes planning something.}

It wont cause us any actual problems, right? (Luna)

{Im pretty sure shes going to be petty, but not so much as to actually hinder you. And even then, her target is Soleil.}

Think shell let me off if I apologize? (Soleil)

{She might go a little easier on you.}

Regret! (Soleil)

Fufufu. Dont worry, she wouldnt think of doing something THAT bad, right Tamamo. (Luna)

{Did I ever tell you how wonderful you look when you make a face like that?}

Once or twice. (Luna)

This isnt the time for flirting, you two. This is a crisis. (Soleil)

For a second I thought I hears laughter coming from somewhere, but I decided to ignore it to try and think of something. It was then that an idea came to me.

Soleil, think its time for a prank war? (Luna)

Possibly. I know I brought it on to myself, but that doesnt mean Im just gonna take a prank to the face without some retaliation. (Soleil)

A collaboration of me and you pranking the goddess of mischief. Fufufufufufufu. (Luna)

Hehehehehehehe. (Soleil)

Should we stop them? (Velvet)

I dont think we can nya. (Mio)

For now. I feel like if I do anything else for these people here, theyll all start dropping to their metaphorical knees to worship me and that makes me uncomfortable. (Skadi)

Hey Velvet, arent other vampires like that with Tamamo? (Luna)

Yes, though I dont see why youre bringing that up? (Velvet)

I just felt like it. I mean, I just find it funny that the three people here with a full connection to the divine have people like this. For Tamamo its vampires, for me its elves, and for Skadi its merfolk. (Luna)

{Ive spent so much time watching all of you that Ive gotten used to Velvets tameness in regards to me that I almost shut out the fanaticism of most of the rest of her race from my mind.}

Big sis, while I get that you find it funny, your expression says otherwise. (Soleil)

Yeah, now that I brought it up, I remember the expressions of the elves back then and it just sends chills up my spine. Fanaticism is scary. (Luna)

{I cant agree more.} (Skadi and Tamamo)

While some of us were wallowing in our shared discomfort of out fanatics, we arrived in front of a grand manor that was actually one step from being a palace. It was three stories tall and made of a mix of light and dark blue coral-looking material with decorative and very shiny shells and metals as ornaments. I looked at Skadis expression out of the corner of my eye and saw her with a twitching smile spread across her face. She thanked the guard for guiding us here before she practically shut the door in his face. Once the door was closed and she was sure that nobody but us were here, she slumped to the floor.

Ugh. (Skadi)

Im sorry I wanted to come here, Skadi. I didnt know that it would be like this. (Luna)

Dont be sorry, wasnt I the one to suggest coming here in the first place? (Skadi)

I mean, yeah, but still. (Luna)

Its fine. Ill talk to the ones in charge tomorrow and see what I have to do to get the people here to leave us in relative peace. (Skadi)

Skadi nya, can you tell us why they treat you like this nyow nya? (Mio)

*Sigh* Fine. Lets find a place to relax and Ill talk. (Skadi)

We looked around for a place to sit. Once we found a lounge, we all sat on the weirdly shaped couches and Skadi started to talk about several past escapades in which she assisted or saved some merfolk which led to her treatment in the present.

Chaos Realm:

Atmos: Hoho. A prank war, is it? I'm game.

Order: Atmos.

Atmos: Don't ruin my fun, Order. I won't go too hard on them. It won't be fun for any of us if I go all out from the beginning since I have the full advantage.

Order: Just try not to cause too much chaos.

Oi!

Order: You know what I mean.

Hehe.

Atmos: Oh, mind bringing Luna and Soleil here? If we're going to actually go through with this, we should at least agree on some terms and conditions so that we keep this contained as much as possible.

I'll get them here next time.

Atmos: Order, would you mind being the impartial observer?

Order: Fine by me. Someone needs to be the one to keep things in check if you and Luna are going to get into a discussion like this and I feel like while Tamamo will say something, she'll concede to the two of you in the end. She's soft when it comes to the both of you after all.
