Chapter 3: Making a new friend?
......
......

"Umm.... so what's your name?" Luna was trying her hardest to start a conversation, but it seemed the boy was still processing what had happened. The first thing that she was told by Big Sis was to keep a low profile in order to preserve the world order but she'd already messed that up bigtime... (I am so screwed, what if Big Sis hears about this?)
...
"....I'm Tom. Tom Granville" the boy had finally broken the silence, but he still looked like he was in a bit of a daze.
"What you did back there....are you an angel or a goddess or something?" Tom started staring hard at Luna with a puzzled expression.
(Oh no, he thinks i'm not human, what am i going to do....okay act calm and just say a few words)
"What are you talking about fellow human, I'm just an ordinary human girl who happened to drop by hehehe~"
"Well, all the statues of angels and goddesses i've seen have huge racks and you're a B cup at best...i guess you might be telling the truth after all..."
Luna's face flushed red as her expressions transitioned from embarrasment, to anger, and then to a forced smile. If looks could kill, then her smile could have cut Tom up dozens of times already.
"Uh what i meant to say was, y'know what nevermind haha. So... if you're not a goddess, how did you manage to do all that crazy stuff anyways?" [Tom used change subject . It was super effective!]
"Oh that stuff, would it be crazy if i told you i was an illusion magic specialist? My spells are suuuuper realistic, heck it's still working right now! All that debris and stuff is totally fake" Luna quickly thought of an excuse. (Wait, do they even have illusion magic on this world?)
"Oh, cool." With that Tom decided to quit his questioning. Whatever had happened, it was all thanks to the girl in front of him that he was still alive. In this world where most people wanted to be the strongest, who didn't have a few secrets. Besides, he'd already pushed his luck with the boobs comment. If she really could defeat or trick rank 5 opponents she wasn't someone he wanted to be on her bad side.
With that, Luna also stopped the conversation and was busy sifting through her pockets and a small knapsack she was carrying on her back. She finally managed to fish out a stone tablet from her knapsack and started pressing it repeatedly. "Stupid thing, why won't you work? Is there bad reception here or something?" Luna started shaking and banging the rock hysterically.
Tom just looked on, numb to whatever was happening at this point. Maybe this girl was crazy, her real name must be Lunatic and she just calls herself Luna for short. Heck, maybe he was the crazy one - after all he saw a floating girl in the sky sneeze and blow away 2 Beastly Cultivators. At this point all he wanted to do was go to sleep and wake up the next day thinking this was all a crazy dream from a mushroom or something.
"So...nice to meet you and all that, but i'm heading off to sleep in a cozy cave nearby. Have a nice life lady" Tom was way too done with all this and just wanted to rest. Before Tom could turn and set off, he saw Luna in front of him with the largest puppy dog eyes he had seen. Seeing her like this, she kinda looked cute - although after remembering what had happened he was scared to death of her at the same time. Basically what normal dudes do when they have a crush. although he didn't have a crush on her inasmuch as he didn't want to get CRUSHED by her.
.....a few minutes later, Tom and Luna were on their way to the cave. After having a short talk, Luna realised that the reason that Tom was being chased in the first place was because he had temporarily set up camp in the nearby cave without realizing it was used as a hideout for the Beastly Cultivator gang they had just met.
Also Luna realised that the reason she had landed on that exact spot during the conflict was happening wasn't because she particularly wanted to save Tom, she had already been on her way down and saw a nice clear patch of land which had been cleared by one of the gang members! She had been thinking all this time that someone from the Terra monitoring agency had made a nice landing strip for her and was about to thank them when she suddenly sneezed and lost sight of them. After a few seconds of thinking, she realised that they must have been humans instead and she'd already messed up one of her orders in less than a minute of landing...[facepalm]
---
The rest of the journey to the cave had been uneventful, mostly because nobody felt like talking anymore and everyone just wanted to get some rest and forget that night ever happened. They had quickly found the place and no surprise, it was completely deserted except for Tom's things and a smoldering fire in the center. Not like anyone was going to come back with that stunt that had just happened. Tom quickly laid out some rags...i mean "blankets" near the fire to sleep in whilst Luna pulled out a really thin silken sleeping bag. Tom said his goodnight and quickly went to sleep hoping he'd wake up tomorrow, alone, with none of the chasing and the crazy mystic angel girl ever happening.
An hour or so later, Luna quietly stepped out of the cave and gazed at the moon, still shining brilliantly outside. She took out a medallion that was now tied comfortably around her neck and removed it, throwing it to her side. She reached out her right hand and closed her eyes and started feeling for any traces of celestial energy in the atmosphere...she could still sense it! Satisfied with that she began flexing her outstreched hand and tried to channel her energy into it.....she had been right, seemed like she was in a state of total depletion of divine energy at the moment. It seemed that even though the medallion was off her body, she still couldn't access her strength normally. For an Immortal, that was strange. Even when they were completely out of energy they could absorb the ambient energy of their surroundings and use it as their source of power. "I was right, this thing must have a serious curse on it. Even for a mission this is a little too overboard..."
With that, Luna made a fist in both her arms and tensed her body. With all she had she started grunting and channeled all she had. FLASH, A brilliant white light burst out from her and she had regained most of the lustre she had possesed during the "fight" with the Axe-wielding beastmen - although this was nowhere near the brilliance and aura she had released before she had sneezed.
No less had she done it, did it instantly dissipate. "Three seconds huh, i can only be at maximum human strength for 3 seconds. This stinks" She dejectedly said before turning around and going back to sleep.
"So it is true, you really must be a Saint level being huh?"
"...TOM?! Why are you awake?"
----
At the top floor of a large skyrise building on what looked to be a moon, a shadowy figure was talking to 2 men.
"Is the Moonbringer girl now on planet Terra?"
"Indeed she is" One of the men responded
"Good, i want you to bring her back here dead or alive. Preferably dead."
