Chapter 23- Magic

[Keeno POV]

When I made it back home, I found Pram sitting in front of the door. Before I could even say hello to her, she jumped up when she heard me approach and grabbed me into a tight hug.

“OKAMI!!!” (Pram)

While wincing a little at her yelling, I moved one of my hands and started patting her head while Huginn was attempting to regain its balance.

“Hello to you too, Pram. What did we talk about when it comes to you yelling like that when we see each other?” (Keeno)

“Not to do it so loud.” (Pram)

She let me go, grabbed her tail, and hid her face behind it. I chuckled at that.

“No need to do that, I’m not mad.” (Keeno)

She slowly moved her tail away and then a look of confusion crossed her face.

“Where’s...Hug-” (Pram)

“Muninn.” (Keeno)

“Muninn?” (Pram)

“Keeping watch over Fia. Now, let’s go to the back, I want to show you something.” (Keeno)

A look of intrigue and excitement bloomed on Pram’s face when I said that, and we both quickly ran to the back of the lodge. We both sat down on two tree stumps that we’ve used as chairs for a long time now and Pram looked at me.

“What are you gonna show me? Is it fun? Is it a new game we can play?” (Pram)

“Not a new game, but I did manage to manifest my Soul Weapon.” (Keeno)

“YAY! Whatisitwhatisitwhatisit!?” (Pram)

I once again made my Soul Weapon appear and stars immediately appeared in Pram’s eyes.

“Ooooooooooooooooo! I wanna touch it, it looks so warm!” (Pram)

“Uh huh.” (Pram)

“I’m going to move the fireball, and you have to try to catch it. I don’t mean actually touch it since I don’t want to hurt you, so I’ll make it disappear when I know you are about to catch it.” (Keeno)

“That sounds so fun! Let’s start now, Okami!” (Pram)

“Hehehehehe. Ok, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...GO!” (Keeno)

I started to move the tiny fireball around as fast as I could and Pram ran after it. Since I was still extremely new to magic, Pram easily ‘caught’ the ball. We continued to play like this until Pram was tired out and sat down before laying her head in my lap and falling asleep. I was tired as well since concentrating on magic like I was is very taxing on the mind.

{...One day I will claim my rightful spot, on Keeno’s lap, so enjoy it while you can, Pram.}

‘Ama...no need to be jealous. Hehe. Pram is my friend, not my Fated One. Let her have this since you have...everything else...I just wish......my body...was...older.’

{Oh Keeno, don’t think that, we may not be able to do adult things, but you are still cute and the perfect size to cuddle. If you stayed that small forever, I wouldn’t care if we couldn’t do anything else as long as it was you that I’m spending time with.}

‘Mmm. But being small.........is inconvenient.’

{Hahaha. Anyway, it’s fine to fall asleep now, Fia and Muninn are almost back.}

I was pretty much already asleep at that point, so with that statement, the final strand of consciousness slipped.

Chaos Realm:

Keeno: And now I’m here.

Luna: No rest for the fluffy after all.

Keeno: That’s fair. But I need to ask, how much more do I need to learn?

Luna: We’ve only breached the surface of it. We’ve covered most of the theoretical aspects of Fluff, so we’ll soon get to the practical part.

Keeno: Yes!

Luna: Also, want me to teach you how to cook while we’re at it? If you end up going on a journey, you’ll need to learn since, unless you start out with a decent windfall, then eating out will be unsustainable when you can just hunt something and eat it in the field.

Keeno: Depends, how good at cooking are you?

Luna: Fufufu. That’s for me to know, and you to find out.
