Chereads / His Moonlight / Chapter 44 - The sun burns bright

Chapter 44 - The sun burns bright

It's lucky that they have quite the huge party, since even with Snow by their side and two wolves aiding them, they get quite the setback compared to their usual dungeon runs since the beasts are so much stronger than usual, exhausting their physical strength and even mana pool for those that can use magic. The moment the last beast of the area is down, Lisa sits on a nearby rock and begs, "please wait, let me catch a breather."

"Damn, I can't believe that we are struggling with how great our teamwork is from how I see it," Vivian looks around and while the couple is checking each other for any injuries, Snow looks restless for some reason and Lune asks when she realized how long Vivian is staring at Snow, "what's wrong Snow? Something wrong?"

She whines about something and looks frustrated, since she can't speak the human tongue and thus not being able to convey any messages she wants to Lune, and Vivian looks around and asks, "Snow is sensitive when it comes to magic, right? Could it be that there's a strong magical beast nearby?"

Rin who heard this starts focusing all her senses to pick up any danger lurking, and her face pales when she feels something is amiss with her gut feeling and she tugs at Ford's clothes, "do you sense that, dear?"

"I think we should fall back for our safety. We did have trouble earlier handling a few groups of beasts earlier, and I can't imagine how strong the boss of this dungeon will be if they have been amplified for some reason."

All of them agree at this and quickly, they start retracing their steps back and they finally let out their breaths after holding it unconsciously once they exit the dungeon unscathed, and among the crowd a familiar blonde head pops out and he shouts, "Vivian!"

"Wait, could it be- my dearest!" Sol dodges when Vivian tries to hug him, resulting in her falling face first to the ground and while Lisa talks about how painful it looks, the prince notices his sister and he sighs, "did you just exit the dungeon just now?"

"Yeah. And what manners you have, no greetings and just interrogation."

"I'm here to look for Vivian because I heard the dungeon suddenly got upgraded for unknown reasons, but I never thought you'd be here too," Vivian finally gets up and she hugs Sol from the back, where he blushes a little from the body contact and she starts complaining, "you should be gentle with me, my future husband. I do have feelings too."

"You were the one that ran away after a little argument."

"Aww, are you worried about me?" The both of them seem to be bickering with Sol being the angry one while Vivian is just happy to be the receiving end, and Lune shakes her head from their antics and turns to look at Ford, "anyway, good call earlier, thanks."

"Do you have enough loot for a week's travel now?" Lisa who is the one doing the looting earlier puts a thumbs up and nods eagerly, "enough for a month! We should quickly sell and get ready before departing."

"A week's travel?" Lune turns to see Sol is looking a little concerned while Vivian is still staring at him with hearts in her eyes, "where are you going this time? And who are these two?"

"Relax bro, they are trusted."

"No one's to be trusted, not even those related by blood."

"Are you implying that I shouldn't trust you?"

Sol facepalms at the defensive stance his sister is taking and he sighs, "I'm just saying, alright? I'm just asking a question, no harm done if you're not sneaking to do something bad."

"We will be going to Swve-" Rin covers her mate's mouth and when Sol is getting more and more suspicious, Lune tries to dissolve the situation, "actually! We are trying to reach the border of the kingdom, to see if there's any new things that are not yet being discovered."

"I heard he is going to say Swveny? It was a beautiful city until it got ripped apart by some powerful beast clan, which is now pretty much a minefield for us mortals. Are you really sure?"

'So that's where the werewolves settled down, huh? What a convenient story to keep mortals away.' Lune just smiles and Rin tries to relieve the tension between them, "don't worry! We will not enter that place, just the area nearby."

After a few moments of silence, Sol finally nods and he grabs Vivian's hand, making her swoon at the gesture and he warns, "then, I wish you all safe travels. If I don't get your letter soon, I will be burning every possible beast just to find you, sister."

"Don't worry, your sister does not become an adventurer for two years in vain."

Once the duo are out of sight, the rest of them travel back to the adventurers guild, where it's almost late night when they reach outside of the town, so they just decided to camp outside for tonight. Setting up the sleeping tent where both Rin and Ford are fascinated with, they are finally done with two tents and after the wolves wish them good night, Lune suddenly warns them with a glare, "don't you both dare to mate tonight, I want to catch a proper sleep."

Embarrased, the two retire for the night without doing anything, and finally Lune falls asleep without any trouble while Lisa is scarred from the realization that the couple had sex last night while she was sleeping soundly.
