Little Kaguya

"Ren, where were you? I have been searching for you all this time? Tell me! Are you okay?! Did something happen?" Ren arrived, and was greeted by Claire's several questions. Her eyes were moist, she was relieved, happy, and angry at the same time.

Her emotion was all over the place.

"I'm sorry, mother. I'm fine." Ren looked down to apologize.

"Thank goodness. It doesn't matter as long as mother knows you're fine." Claire immediately embraced him, caressed him ever so slowly.

"This is actually the case, mother..." Ren explained the story he had already made up.

He felt that not telling her the truth was very cruel, but he doesn't have any other choice. If he revealed some truth to what he had done, several more questions will arise.

Ren loved Claire, spending time with her and receiving her care. Ren was not at all wary about her, although she has a mysterious identity. But every person contains a secret or two, it's normal.

Whether it is love for family, or love between man and woman, not as a mother. It was not yet possible to tell.

"I see. Hm. Mother, understands. Next time, please tell me okay? Or else I'll always be anxious if you are gone for even a day." Claire nodded with a smile.

Ren made up a story that he was gaining combat experience fighting monster beasts.

Still, he didn't know that, every place in the Kingdom of Azes, was already turned upside down by Claire when searching for him. Unless if he leaves the Kingdom's sphere of influence, she wouldn't find him.

And according to his story, he was just around the vicinity of some forest, fighting. Claire didn't continue a follow up question. If he doesn't want to tell, then don't.

But this time, her consciousness would be always following him, so if he do as much as move. Claire will know his position.

Ren didn't notice any of this, he would have no idea that Claire out of care would place something like a tracker on him.

Freya who was hiding on the moon symbol over his hand and Amaterasu, who was still sitting on his shoulder, she said she is invisible to the other people except him, unless she willingly let herself be seen then no one would have the possibility of noticing her presence.

Both of them noticed what Claire did, and yet they remained silent. Why? Well, there was no malicious intent.

Freya herself has a good opinion about Claire. After all, Claire was the only one who treated Ren well in the family.

Finished, telling the story. Ren and Claire continued having a good conversation for about an hour. Claire told him that his father, and the others didn't even care that he was missing, she was mad about it, but said that it was still not the time to move.

Ren was a bit confused, however he didn't dwell deeper on the matter.

Claire didn't want to disturb his rest, she quickly left after the conversation.

...

Ren was currently sleeping.

Freya on the window seal, looked at the moon. The moonlit night enhanced her beauty, if Ren could see this scene, he would have his heart beating in excitement.

A light flickered and came out from Ren's palm. Similar to how Freya comes out, but since Freya was already out. Then, who was it?

The light flew outside the window.

Amaterasu was currently sitting on the rooftop.

She frowned when the light appeared in front of her and transformed into a majestic white haired beauty.

Her face, her figure, and her countenance, especially with the moon at her back that illuminated her ethereal beauty. The presence and this view can only be called godly.

The aura and air that was exerted from her body screamed with elegance. A dignified and untainted goddess, with her skin—snow-white.

The color of her eyes was a mix of red and yellow, almost looking like orange. There was also a symbol on her forehead, similar to Amaterasu, but it was a bit different.

She posseses a seductive body with a lot of curves. The white ancient clothing clung tightly on her body, emphasizing her breasts that was on the bigger side.

"Princess of the moon, Kaguya. I didn't think the other presence I felt was you."

"This princess is also quite surprised to see that the Goddess of the Sun, Amaterasu. Is now tied as a mortal' companion.

"Say what you like, what do you want for you to appear before me?" Amaterasu stood up, and her chibi figure disappeared, and just like how Ren thought. Her adult figure was devastating to see.

"Nothing. I'm here to talk you, after all we are on the same boat now." Kaguya smiled.

"Oh? Is the famed princess done waiting for her so-called human man?" A smile formed on Amaterasu's face.

"Humph." Kaguya snorted, then added. "I didn't think that the crowned goddess believes in baseless rumors. How disappointing."

"...He doesn't seem to have any ideas of your presence? Why?" Amaterasu changed the topic.

"It's not time. If the time is right, I will appear before him." Kaguya answered.

"I see." Amaterasu didn't continue any further as she disappeared.

"That's right. The time has not yet come. He promised and confessed. It's just right for me to get ready, right? The moon is beautiful he says?... Hehe." Kaguya chuckled.

Like Amaterasu, Kaguya also has a chibi form.

Kaguya decided to stay for a bit. She could hide her presence and stay and observe Ren on his side.

So she transformed into her little form.

...

Ren suddenly opened his eyes after resting for about an hour or so.

"What happened?" Freya noticed him waking up.

"...A new year is about to come. One of the history's enemy will be brought into being." Ren mumbled.

"Huh?" Freya was quite confused.

Her confusion was then answered when the hand of the clock turned to 12:00 Midnight.

An earthquake occured.

Lunar Year: 666

The birth of the beast.
