Chapter 184- The Invitation

[Keeno POV]

A few days had passed since we had our relaxing time together. We had moved to the larger Radiant Knight compound outside of the noble district in this time and honestly, it was much more comfortable. It was early morning now and I was in the training room. When Margaret showed us around the day we got here, I was surprised that they had what I would consider a modern day earth gym with all the equipment. Deciding to take advantage of this, I woke up early the next day and dressed in a good outfit for working out. Hitting the gym I couldn’t help but inwardly chuckle at Ama’s approving silence that clearly showed she was quite interested in what I was doing and wearing.

‘Note to self, wear more form fitting clothes for Ama.’

Finished up with my workout, I decided to jog around the room to decompress. Once that was done, I grabbed a towel from my ring and wiped the sweat off my face.

{Guh.}

“Ama?”

{You’re too sexy like this, Keeno.}

“Oh?”

I smirked mischievously.

“So me being all sweaty makes you hot and bothered, eh?”

{No, but your slightly flushed, toned body in clothes that hug your form does.}

“Hehe. Alright then, I know what I’m wearing next time I see you.”

{YES!!!}

Her overreaction made me chuckle. Just as I was leaving the room, Margaret and Zofia came in followed by a seemingly sleepwalking Maria.

“Oh! Hello, Keeno.” (Margaret)

“Morning. I hope it was alright for me to use the facilities here.” (Keeno)

“Perfectly fine.” (Margaret)

“Hmm.” (Zofia)

Turning my attention to Zofia, I saw that she was looking me up and down while she had her fingers on her chin, clearly thinking about something.

“Lady Okami, if I may, can I ask for a small sparring session?” (Zofia)

“I don’t see why not, though I do want to ask why.” (Keeno)

“I’m the one in charge of training the knights and seeing your physique, it makes me want to test you. See if you have anything I can help you improve on.” (Zofia)

“Aunt, I think that’s a bad idea for you to spar with her. I’ve done it a few times and know she’s above your level to handle.” (Margaret)

“Then I’ll observe while you two spar. Maybe it’ll even motivate Maria to improve too.” (Zofia)

Speaking of Maria, she was still standing there clearly half asleep, though at the mention of her name she seemed to become slightly more aware. Seeing this Zofia just shook her head and heaved a defeated sigh.

“You have a place that can withstand it?” (Keeno)

“While not as good as the Guild, we do have a room for higher tier fights.” (Margaret)

“Then let’s go. I’m all warmed up.” (Keeno)

The messenger bowed deeply and looked like she wanted to run out the door, but realized she would be rude for doing that, she embarrassedly bowed again to me and Margaret.

“I shall relay your intentions, mistress. Madam Sif shall be waiting your arrival.”

She bowed a final time before leaving the room.

“Well, I guess I know what I’m doing the rest of the day.” (Keeno)

Standing up I was about to leave the room when I turned to the others.

“Margaret, mind if I borrow that carriage, we used last time?” (Keeno)

“Feel free. I’ll assign someone to driving it since Aunt Zofia doesn’t like going to that part of town.” (Margaret)

“...” (Zofia)

We turned to look at Zofia who let out a strange noise somewhere between a grunt and a cough. Her face was red like a tomato and her tail was erratically swishing back and forth.

“...” (Margaret)

{Well, she’s an adult, so she can do whatever she wants. It’s not like we’ll judge her.}

“Guess Aunt Zofia will be driving you then.” (Margaret)

It was this moment I decided to get out of the room because Zofia’s embarrassed blush turned to one of irritation and I didn’t want to get caught in the scolding. I made my way to my room and took a shower.

{Remind me next time we’re together to get you to walk around with just a towel hanging from your neck. It does things to me.}

“I’ll remember.”

Once I felt fully clean and refreshed, I dried myself off before getting to work drying my tails.

“WHY IS THERE STILL ASH IN THERE!!? It’s like sand!!”

I got up and went back to the shower before starting the entire tail cleaning process again. Only on the seventh wash did I finally become satisfied with the result. Thankfully it only took two hours, and I still had ample time before the afternoon came around. I got dressed in my short shorts and sleeveless shirt since it was easier to move in and, even with my tails, since it would cause some kind of commotion. No one would expect a princess to wear something so casual to somewhere she normally should never be seen near such a place.

“Time to go then.”

Leaving my room, I made my way to the carriage that should have been waiting for me.

Chaos Realm:

*Payto sticks his out out of a shining window*

Luna, your blessing hit ant doom affect there.

Luna: Good. I hope Aiko and the others appreciate it.

I’m sure they will, given enough time.

Luna: That’s good. By the way, there is this kitsune named Vale I want to bless.

Same rules as last time. I’ll meet with the Chaos God there and see where and how much is allowed.

Luna: Thanks.
