Chapter 85- New Titles

Chapter 85- New Titles

[Keeno POV]

Two days after the Solar Convergence, the three of us were approached by someone from the Guild. We were asked to come by there at some point today before the messenger turned and left.

“...I’m nervous now.” (Pram)

“Don’t be, Pram, I’m sure the title you get will be a good one.” (Freya)

“Yeah. I’m getting a feeling that they won’t be super cringy and something that we’ll actually come to like rather quickly.” (Keeno)

Since we were still eating our breakfast, we finished up there before making our way to the Guild. There weren’t a lot of people in the street now that most of the Horde aftermath was dealt with, so we didn’t have any trouble getting to the Guild. However, we did run into a few people who, upon seeing me, smiled and waved to me.

“It’s just like back home, eh?” (Pram)

“Yep. Though I still get a few uneasy looks or people outright avoiding me or being slightly hostile.” (Keeno)

“While I know that you aren’t a bad person, even I’m still getting used to you, you know. Your public appearance is very unapproachable and the permanent glare you have makes it feel like you are looking down on everything. It’s especially scary at night since they glow.” (Freya)

“Now Freya, that’s not nice. I personally think Okami looks cute like that. It makes it feel like she’ll keep you safe and it scares off any nasty bugs that want to cling to you.” (Pram)

“Pram, that’s not the compliment you think it is.” (Keeno)

“Really?” (Pram)

“Yeah. While I think it worked out, especially now, but there were quite a few people back home that fell for you but never approached because they were afraid of me.” (Keeno)UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

“Then I guess I should thank you for being there.” (Freya)

“Your thanks are graciously accepted. And for the record, I didn’t like any of the ones that fell for Pram back home anyway. They only ever wanted to have Pram for the connection to her family or because she is pretty, not for her.” (Keeno)

“Really? How’d you figure that out?” (Pram)

“Your brother. While I was the one that protected you personally, he was the one that handled the physical side of things. Did you never wonder why he was the one to handle pretty much all the male patients at the clinic?” (Keeno)

“I just thought it had something to do with not having a lady of marriageable age interacting with men that would be in various uncompromising states.” (Pram)

“...” (Keeno)

“So, this is some of that childish purity Pram has...it’s charming.” (Freya)

Freya’s words caused Pram to smile and move closer to her, grabbing her arm in the process. This, in turn, made Freya start blushing.

“Hehehe.” (Keeno)

“Aside from that one and only time I’ve ever gotten drunk, Pram, I’m not that bad. And besides, I wasn’t planning on drinking that much, just enough to speed along the process of accepting that I’ve acquired another title with Princess in it.” (Keeno)

“If you say so, but I’m still going to keep an eye on you.” (Pram)

“Fine by me.” (Keeno)

For the next while, we milled about the party while drinking, eating, and just generally having a decent time.

Chaos Realm:

Amaterasu: I don’t get why she’s upset about her title.

I think it has something to do with her not liking being called a princess. Probably brings up bad memories.

Amaterasu: I mean, I get that much, but I also think that the meaning is different and that this particular one shouldn’t carry a negative feeling with it.

Order: Hmm. I think this is one of those things we just don’t really get since we’re gods.

I agree with Order.

Amaterasu: Hmm. I’ll ask her about it when I can. If only those annoying angels weren’t there to get in the way.

Weren’t you working on a spell to get around their super telepathy interception ability?

Amaterasu: Yeah, but I’m stuck. At the moment, if I use it, any angels’ heads will explode. I’m trying to avoid that.

...

Order: ...

Amaterasu: Don’t look at me like that, I didn’t test this on anyone, I just know that’s what will happen if I use it.

Then explain the current progress with the spell and maybe we can help you.

Amaterasu: While I appreciate the thought, I want to do this myself. It’s been a while since I’ve come up with some new magic, and I want to get back my proficiency before Keeno makes the Authority of Runes.

Planning some collaboration projects?

Amaterasu: Yep.

Order: Well, we wish you luck then.

Amaterasu: Thanks.
