Chapter 1046 One Small Step For Foxes
(Manami POV)
It was quite interesting to find out what this Universe’s version of us had been up to.
In this place, the technology of our World has advanced to reach the stars and instead of Practitioners, we have space explorers instead.
Master had taken us on as His apprentices and we worked as both mercenaries and merchants for Him.
I found it quite amusing that my cute little sister still did not fully believe my claim that I was from another Universe but did not question it and answered all my questions anyway. She’s just so adorable!
I could just show off my powers but when I asked if it was ok to start a fire, my little sister was vehemently against it. She said that starting one inside the ship was a recipe for disaster so I decided to wait until we landed before I did anything like that.
I did suggest that we have a little fun while we were at it but she told me that it would be difficult to clean up in a Zero-G environment.
Of course, I could fix that problem with a bit of my divinity but I didn’t want to scare my little sister too much so I decided I could hold it in for now.
I at least convinced her to wrap our tails around each other and pleasured each other that way.
Eventually, a ball came into view outside our window and Kiyomi announced that we had arrived at our destination.
“Ara? Is that Privos Prime?” I asked.
“That is correct, elder sister. It’s a mining planet owned by one of the mining conglomerates but it also functions as a waystation for travellers like us.”
“A mining planet?”
“Yes. The planet is known to be rich in metals that are used to build ships so it’s being excavated for that reason.”
I tilted my head, “What’s a planet?”
Kiyomi turned to me and blinked a few times, “It’s… Well… Umm… A world? A celestial body in space?”
I turned back to the planet, “So that’s a World? Does our World look like that as well? What did our Earthen Plane look like?”
“I’m sorry sister… I don’t know what this Earthen Plane is.”
Ara? That’s quite a surprise. Now I’m interested in going back to our World just to see what it looks like.
Since I was still not certain of how things work here, my cute little Kiyomi basically did everything to land our ship on the planet. It was truly a marvel to see how the scenery changed so quickly and that’s also putting my teleportation ability into account as well.
I almost thought that we would be walking around with this skintight suit of ours but apparently those are meant only for us in space because of the Zero-G and we switched out to more normal looking clothes when we touched down.
Stepping out of our ship and into what they called a spaceport was an experience in and of itself, one that was definitely not a good one.
“By Master… What is that smell, Kiyomi?” I gasped.
“Oh? That’s sulphur. That’s just how it is on planets like these elder sister…”
“Ara? How is my little Kiyomi ok with this?”
She shrugged, “You just get used to it.”
.
“Hmph. With me here now, there is no need for us to ‘get used to it’,” I scoffed, waving my hand in the air to purify it for the two of us.
“E… Eh? How did… How did elder sister do that?”
“Ara, ara? Didn’t I tell you? I’m a Goddess in the other Universe~ Such things are easy for me.”
Ufufufu~ Seeing Kiyomi’s surprised face was worth it~ She’s still looking at me in shock~
“Now, what do we need to do, my dearest little sister?” I giggled, changing the subject.
She quickly recovered from her stupor, “Oh… Umm… We need to find the service centre of the space port and get our generators repaired, which means Master should arrive before that is done. I’ve not been to this planet myself either so we’ll probably have to ask some locals about its location. We need to check in at the port authority first so that’s a good place to start.”
The two of us made our way down from the platform that held our ship, its shape looking like some kind of rectangular box with various weird things jutting out of its surface.
Kiyomi did notice that I was looking around at everything in wonder, it was hard not to be when everything looked so different from what I was used to seeing. Even when Master brought us to different Planes, most of the architecture and even the people looked similar, yet here everything was different from what I knew.
The buildings around here were all made out of metal and most of them were covered in a layer of rust, looking like they were all just welded together to make some semblance of shelter. The people wore what looked like miner clothes and most of them had goggles and masks covering their faces.
It was truly a sight for me.
What Kiyomi pointed out to be the ‘port authority’ was a simple building made out of what looks like rusted sheet metal with a few bored looking people seated behind desks.
We went towards one of the counters and the man there looked up at us, not even bothering to put his feet down from the table even as he tapped away on a device in his hand.
“Purpose of visit,” He drawled, like it was a phrase he had been repeating hundreds of times a day.
“Repairs and resupply,” My little Kiyomi answered easily.
He half turned to the machine on the desk and tapped the screen a few times before gesturing to the table dismissively.
Kiyomi stepped aside and nodded at the table where I realised it had a small portion cut away for a screen of some sort. On the screen were the words “Dock rental 100 Credits. Scan to pay.” displayed.
Kiyomi nodded to the screen, “Sister… Your hand.”
Trusting her, I placed my hand on that screen without hesitation, causing it to beep and turn green in colour.
The man behind the counter did not even acknowledge it and had already dismissed us from his mind, going back to using the device in his hands.
Kiyomi cleared her throat to get his attention again, something he reluctantly gave after clicking his tongue.
“We are wondering where the service centre is?” She asked.
“You blind?” The man growled, jerking his thumb behind him where a rather broken down sign was left hanging on the wall.
It took a moment but we recognised the words ‘Service Centre’ with an arrow pointed towards the right of where we are.
How rude… Perhaps I should just eradicate his existence here?
Kiyomi thanked him and we made our way towards our destination, only to be intercepted by a group of men on the way there.
“Hey… Fox youkais, first time I’ve seen them and here’s two. Where are you headed to, ladies? Want to join us? We’ll show you a good time.”
Ara, ara? It looks like even though the Universe may be different, the trash still doesn’t change~
Ufufufu~ At least I know exactly how to deal with this particular situation~
I can eradicate people right?
