Chapter 89- Reunion

Chapter 89- Reunion

[Keeno POV]

After burning onto the scene, Freya and I’ve been dealing with all the Falheim mongrels in the fort while Pram healed the group of people that were with Sigurd and Emma. Honestly, I was surprised to see Emma here, but I’d ask the reason later.

“Okami, are you sure we shouldn’t be taking prisoners?” (Freya)

“No, they’ll just stab us in the back when they get a chance. Surrender is not an option for them.” (Keeno)

“Alright.” (Freya)

After an hour, we were done with air route of the enemy. After doing a once over of the fort, I started a fire that I knew wouldn’t go out until the place was nothing but cinders. That way, if there were any stragglers we missed, they wouldn’t get out.

“You’re being very thorough.” (Freya)

“The land must be purified before any Life Ama decides should return can truly thrive.” (Keeno)

“...” (Freya)

{Oh, that’s a good one, Keeno.}

Freya looked a bit pensive about what I said but shrugged her shoulders after a moment. A few minutes later, Pram, followed by two people I recognized came up to us.

“Are you going to do the same to the other two?” (Pram)

“Please hold off from doing that. These are key positions and symbols, if all of them burn down, it will affect morale and plans going forward.” (Sigurd)

“Tch.” (Keeno)

“Told you she wouldn’t like that, Sigurd.” (Emma)

“Doesn’t make it any truer.” (Sigurd)

I turned to face the two and Emma immediately jumped at me and hugged me. Since she was now shorter than me, her head rested on my chest. My hand unconsciously moved, and I started patting her head.

“Hehehe. Oh, how the tables have turned, Young Miss.” (Emma)

“I’m glad you are alright and out of that pit of mongrels, Emma. Same to you, Sigurd.” (Keeno)

“Us, along with a few others got out the same day you were sent away.” (Sigurd)

“That’s good...Ah, before we proceed with this little reunion of ours, introductions are in order. This is Pram, my best friend. This is Freya, my companion and Pram’s girlfriend. The two in my tails are Huginn and Muninn. As for myself, Keeno Okami. To those close to me it’s Keeno, everyone else it’s Okami, please remember that.” (Keeno)

“It’s nice to see you again, Lady Keeno, and it’s a pleasure, Lady Pram and Lady Freya. I am Emma, formerly a maid in the service of the Young Miss, now a soldier fighting for the rebels to free our home from tyranny.” (Emma)

“And I am Sigurd, knight named by the Young Miss and soldier of the rebellion.” (Sigurd)

“Alright.” (Freya)

“I’m sensing a very funny story or two from those words alone.” (Emma)

“Oh, there are way more than two.” (Keeno)

We continued to chat with Emma while we helped set up camp alongside the rebels.

Chaos Realm:

Luna: ...Hey, isn’t that prince that’s one of the leaders of the rebels Keeno’s cousin?

I think he’s, her uncle. Why?

Luna: I was just looking for clarification.

Tamamo: I keep forgetting that Keeno is, in some way, related to or technically is royalty.

Amaterasu: I mean, it’s not like it affects her personal life or her status since she has not real royal backing or political power, not that she’d want it anyway.

Luna: I completely understand that. I was the same, after all.

Amaterasu: You were royalty?

Luna: No, I was the daughter of a Marquis, but aside from attending a royal wedding once, I never really did anything as the daughter of an important noble.

Tamamo: There was also the time you went to a noble gathering and attended the ceremony for naming a crown princess. And also, the time you met with the Queen of the Elves.

Luna: That last one doesn’t count since I was there as an S-rank adventurer, not as a noble.

Tamamo: I always felt that that still counted.

Luna: Meh. Doesn’t matter anymore, so let’s just leave it at that.

Tamamo: Sounds good to me.

Amaterasu: ...

...

Amaterasu: We kind of just got left out of that whole thing, didn’t we?

I mean, it’s not like there was anything we could have said to really participate there, so I’m not bothered.

Amaterasu: That’s fair.
