Chereads / His Moonlight / Chapter 34 - Hi and goodbye Tera

Chapter 34 - Hi and goodbye Tera

The moment the sun rises, the twins have their own bundle of energy to wake them up, and funnily, even Sol who is named after the sun itself, is actually a heavy sleeper like Lune.

"Rise and shine, princess."

'She can make some funny faces during her sleep, which is cute.' Lune seems to be annoyed at something, possibly from his attempt in waking her up, but she continues her sleep. That's when an idea came to Chilve on how to wake her up effectively.

Meanwhile, Lisa, who has started packing her belongings, wonders why there's a huge lip mark on Sol's cheek and Vivian seems to be content with something, "good morning Lisa!"

"Good morning Vivian. Did you rest well?'' The brunette nods and just then they can hear Lune shouting from the tent she is sleeping in, which triggers Sol to enter with a protective instinct, and he sees red when Chilve is on top of Lune, literally.

"WHAT THE FUCK YOU DOING TO MY SISTER?" Before he can burn the 'assaulter' down, Lune quickly explains by shouting, "it's not like that! He just fell down!"

"DI-" Sol suddenly gets stopped by both Vivian and Lisa, and before Lune can thank them for stopping a catastrophe from happening, Chilve quickly gets up and pulls Lune out from the tent away from the mad Sol. After a few moments of walking, Lune tells Chilve to stop and he complies, then she sighs, "I'm glad nothing too bad happened earlier."

"I wonder what he will do if he gets to know we are soulmates," and he smirks when Lune blushes, "what will he do if I become his brother in law? Will he kill me on our wedding night?"

"Brazen for you to say that I will definitely marry you!" He makes a hurt expression when she blurts that out and he bites his lower lip, "awww, you won't say yes if I propose to you? I'm hurt from that."

Their time alone is interrupted when they hear Lisa calling for them, and Lune turns away and says, "let's go back and pack. I'm eager to reach a new town and try new dishes."

Their packing goes a little smoothly, despite the fact that Sol keeps glaring at Chilve at every chance he has while Vivian is surprisingly keeping him in check, hoping to gain the favor of her future sister in law from this gesture. They depart and following Chilve's lead while he uses his map to see the paths, they finally reach a new town named Tera, a place that is famous for their food and magical beasts that can be made into exotic ingredients.

And the first thing that caught Lune's eyes is the huge tree that is right at the center of the town, glowing a little under the sun from certain angles when the leaves move with the breeze, and it seems there are also flowers blooming at this season, which is nice since they can smell floral fragrance all over the place. Lisa seems to be interested in some food being sold by the streets and Lune follows after her, where they start getting interested after some free samples offered by the kind looking vendors, "what is this, this is so good!"

"It's a recipe using our local specialty," and Vivian starts buying and feeding some to Sol at the same time, and Chilve feels something wrong in the air around the town, and flinches when Lune senses he doesn't look good, "you alright?"

"Yeah."

"You sure? You didn't overexert yourself in the dungeon yesterday, did you?" He shakes his head to her question, hoping she will drop it soon so he can continue thinking about all the possibilities of dangers that might be happening, and Lisa asks while having her arms full of fruits from another vendor, "these are good! I remembered that these are sold so much more expensive outside of Tera if we ever see them getting sold."

"If I remember correctly, produces from Tera are the best in the kingdom, yet it's also hard to be exported out from here since it doesn't retain the freshness once outside of Tera," Vivian is gushing about how knowledgeable Sol are, and Chilve sighs, "should we find somewhere to sit and talk?"

"Tired already, Evan? And here I thought you would be the husband of my sister."

"We need plans on what to do in Tera, and we can't exactly do the planning while standing around the street, can we smartass?" The two males start glaring at each other and before Lune can do something about it, they heard someone shouting and they start moving in unison towards the direction of the voice, with Chilve in the lead, "follow me, this way!"

Sol is grumbling about why they should follow him at such a situation, and before Lune can explain that he has better ears, a girl is crying while lying on the floor while some rowdies trashing a stall, which seems to be the girl's, "if you can't pay up, then you can't sell your wares here!"

Lune seems to be a little mad at this exploitation, and she tries to lurch forward to stop, only to be stopped by Chilve himself, "wait, you can't mess with this without knowing the whole story."

"And let the poor woman get bullied by a huge group? This is so unfair."

"It might be a bigger problem lying underneath the surface, and we can't risk-" he sighs when Sol steps up to stop the group, where he effectively knocking them down with his sword and while Vivian is cheering for him, Lisa looks around and realizes that the onlookers are getting more and more uncomfortable, "I think he is right, Lune. See the townspeople, if what Sol is doing is the right thing, they will be cheering for him from the start."

'I guess there is some politics involved here which makes the people unable to act according to their free will, huh?' Knowing the logic behind Chilve's decision to not get involved, she nods and thinks how Sol will handle this by himself since she is definitely not happy to dip her feet into politics during her long sought adventure life.

The group that got trashed by Sol runs off after shouting about getting revenge on him, and while Sol is expecting some gratitude from the woman, the hand he offered to get her back to her feet is slapped away by herself. He is so confused with her behavior that he actually frowns and starts questioning, "at least a simple thanks to your savior is a proper mannerism, don't you think so?"

"I never asked for your help, sir. Now they will be back and harass me more before I can even collect enough money to pay them."

Sol is stunned while she walks away after salvaging whatever that she can, and Chilve shrugs his shoulders, "maybe next time you should think before you act, little prince."
