Chapter 16- Plans for the Future

[Keeno POV]

I was sitting in Fia’s lap on the bed as she played with my hair. We were discussing what our future plans were.

“So, to sum it up, once we get settled in our own place here, I’ll start training to control my mana and body heat as well as actually reasonable physical training. I’ll continue this until I manifest my Soul Weapon which is when you’ll start teaching me magic. After that it’s whatever regimen that is suitable for me until I’m an adult. At that time, I’m free to do whatever until I ascend.” (Keeno)

“Yep. So, we have 13 years until that point.” (Fia)

“So, adulthood is 18 years old in this world?” (Keeno)

“Yes. That’s about the point when kitsune are considered fully grown adults. However, you’ll be able to get a Guild card at 10 and be allowed to do simple quests like gathering or basic tasks around the city. We also have to get you caught up on some semblance of common sense that isn’t tainted by the outdated information you have now.” (Fia)

{Of course, it’ll only be enough to get you by in daily life since some aspects of it won’t apply to you. Oh, and to add to that, I’m going to teach you about controlling your Authorities. You can’t use them to their full potential since they are sealed, but we CAN figure out what you can do with them even in that state and go from there. I can help you most with your Sun Authority, but Death is something you’ll need to feel your way through with just basic things all Authorities share.}

“And finally, we’re going to try and get you used to people a little more. Going forward your previous royal training will be useful, but neither me nor Rasu want you to go through life in the mortal world with the only two people you actually trust being me and Rasu.” (Fia)

{Don’t get her wrong, Keeno. Fia is ecstatic that she is the only person you currently trust with your life and brags about it to me while you sleep, but she won’t be around you forever. She does have things she’ll eventually need to get back to, so I want you to make at least one true friend before you are 18.}

“Rasu, why did you have to share that?” (Fia)

“I kind of already knew that Fia. I am your hug pillow, so I do hear what you say sometimes.” (Keeno)

“...” (Fia)

Fia started to blush at our teasing. It was then that two questions came to mind.

“While I’m fine with everything we decided, I have two questions. The first is, how are we going to train my control over my body heat? And the second is, once I get old enough and Fia sets off to wherever, will I see you again?” (Keeno)

“Starting with the second question, of course. I’d never just up and leave my little sister forever. We may not see each other much, but we’ll always be able to meet on Solar Convergence, if Rasu lets me up there, and depending on where you go in your travels, we’ll probably meet up if Fate is on our side.” (Fia)

{He owes me and Keeno, so it’s just about when really.}

“Wait what?” (Keeno)

“Alright, all that’s left to do is check out these two places and decide. Can I ask that you lead us there?” (Fia)

The merchant nodded and started to organize the papers before the three of us stood up and left the room. We walked us some stairs and out of the heavy wooden doors of the guild. When we got outside, even my royal training couldn’t help me hide my shock at the outside. A common looking city, from my brief experience, covered in pure white snow. While I wasn’t sure how cold it was, I could tell that it was significantly colder than anywhere else I’ve been, not that it mattered that much. I regained my composure and Fia and I started to follow the merchant.

Chaos Realm:

Amaterasu: ...Where am I?

Oh, hello Amaterasu.

Amaterasu: God of Chaos?

Just call me Payto. This is Order, my wife. This is our home, and you’ve been invited to visit whenever you feel like it.

Amaterasu: That’s nice and all, but why am I being stared down by a ten-tailed kitsune that I’ve never met before?

Order: That’s Luna, someone that was in a similar situation to Keeno. She became a Goddess in her world and has been watching your world every so often with us.

She also has some choice words for you and Keeno, so you should prepare yourself.

Amaterasu: What?

Luna: Sit.

Amaterasu: *shivering due to the pure Authority as she sits*

Luna: Pay attention, I will now give you a full course on the proper way to care for Fluff after seeing the pure disgrace you’ve shown. Listen carefully because I don’t want to repeat myself.

Amaterasu: Y-yes ma’am!

Order: Where’s Atmos when you need her? She’d get a kick out of this.

Indeed.
