Cheat Awakening-Chapter 610 - . On The Way

"All right, since you are so desperate to go back home, let’s talk with everyone and see what they think about it. After all, you’ve seen them training like crazy—who knows if they’ll refuse to go out? By the way, I have no problem with it, you can rest assured about that. I’m more than happy to have found you a sister," Myne said playfully, giving Amy a knowing wink, which made her shiver. Clearly, this not-so-innocent elf lady understood the hidden meaning behind his words.

"A... all right? But I am not in that hurry to find a sister," She mutters in a low voice, that only she can hear. Otherwise, what else could Amy say? It wasn’t like she had any other option if she wanted to go back to her kingdom to take a look.

Two of them walked to the backyard, where the other girls were practising. Sylphy, as always, was torturing training dummies with her blunt steel sword. Otherwise, those dummies would cut too easily, and she would have to waste time making more. So, she had simply asked a blacksmith to make a heavy, dull sword for training purposes.

Aisha was practising her archery, and her skills on the other side, while June was using her newly gained ’windgun magic skill’ to brush up on its proficiency and trying to find more ways to use it. After all, it was her only attack skill at the moment.

Unlike Aisha and Sylphy, who had their own main professions, and could do many things even without skills, she was just a random chief who knew nothing about fighting before, so she naturally had to work extra hard.

Although Ayri’s illness was now nonexistent thanks to the mana water, and she was completely fine, Garnet kept watching her like a hawk, not letting her have fun at all. Poor Ayri could only lie down on a chair and bask in the sun with Garnet, watching the others work hard to gain strength and beauty, which she couldn’t.

"Clap, clap! Girls, can I have a moment, please?" Myne, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, could only shout, wave his hand, and call them over.

"What’s the matter?" Aisha, being the closest, asked with a frown. She was still angry at him for the morning incident, thinking Myne should train with them instead of doing it alone like a stranger in the afternoon or evening.

Myne didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he gestured for her to wait. Only when everyone had gathered did he quickly begin explaining. Meanwhile, in the background, Amy, who was nervous as hell, lowered her head and started digging a hole in the ground with her toe.

"Well, I think it’s a good idea. We’ve been training for weeks, but without real-life experience, how can we feel our progress and find our weaknesses? There’s nothing better than exploring a dungeon, and killing monsters," Sylphy, who was dying to cut someone with her sword after so long without any action, immediately gave her approval, making Amy’s eyes light up.

"Yes, I also want to try some new tricks I’ve developed with my skill," June, who was following Sylphy’s not-so-reliable footsteps, nodded excitedly.

Although worried about everyone’s safety, Aisha hesitated. But after thinking about her own need to check her progress, she nodded in agreement without saying anything.

"Well, since you all have no problem, it’s decided—we’re going to the old elf kingdom!" Myne announced cheerfully and gave Amy a hard slap on the back to cheer her up, almost knocking her to the ground.

"Me... Me too! I also want to go with you guys!" Amy, who had been listening to their conversation, spoke excitedly. Because of her illness, she had never left the castle. Even coming to Myne’s house had been done through his teleportation magic. If anyone was looking forward to going out and seeing the world, it was naturally her.

"Young lady, you are not going anywhere. It’s too dangerous—" Garnet ruthlessly poured cold water on Ayri’s fantasy without any hesitation.

"But Mother—"

"No buts, and don’t forget your promise. You must listen to all my orders as long as you’re here. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to send you back to the castle," Garnet interrupted coldly, her stern gaze making tears well up in the young girl’s eyes.

Ayri looked hopefully at her elder sister for help, but Sylphy had no intention of helping her. Instead, she looked as if ready to lecture her about obeying their mother. However, before Sylphy could speak, Ayri quickly looked away and turned to Myne, only to find him staring at the sky as if he’d suddenly found something very interesting in the clouds and was discussing it seriously with Aisha.

Having no other choice, Ayri could only play the emotional card and ran into the house, crying.

"Ignore her; she’ll be fine after crying enough," Garnet said casually, not falling for Ayri’s little trap. After a few words, she returned to her chair and continued basking in the sun.

...

"Oye, Waffle, you little brat! Since you can fly, why the hell are you still lying on my lap? It’s already hard enough to ride a horse, and now I also have to take care of you. What the hell do you want?"

Myne, who had once again been rejected by all of his girls to accompany him on the boring journey and was forced to ride a horse with Waffle—who was more trouble than a company—spoke irritably through gritted teeth, clearly in a very bad mood.

"Relax, Myne. I’m a kid! Although I can fly, my mana is limited, unlike you, who never seems to lack mana for some unknown reasons. It’s very easy for me to use it all up if I fly for too long. Our journey is to a faraway place, so how can you expect me to fly all the way there? I’m a divine beast who travels on foot, not a dragon with wings," Waffle said matter-of-factly, forcing Myne to swallow the harsh words he was about to say.

"But I really can’t believe those heartless women actually threw me out of the house to travel alone in such cold weather while they stayed inside, warm under their quilts, gossiping. Don’t they like training in the cold? Why did they refuse to come with me?"

Myne complained. If not for the fact that Hanaha and Gwen were pregnant and he couldn’t bring them along, and Velvet was already travelling with his clone while Phiyona was disabled, he wouldn’t have begged those four lazy ass women in his house—who didn’t take him seriously and heartlessly ignored his request—to accompany him.

Even Garnet, who always behaved like a sweet newlywed wife willing to fulfil any request, had refused him this time without hesitation, saying, "Men should spend some time with themselves as well."

"Waffle, do you think I’m so bad that no one wants to come with me?" Myne asked with a depressed expression, doubting his very existence.

"Didn’t I come with you? Why do you still need their company? Forget about them, we are more than enough," Waffle lifted his head and replied with a carefree expression, immediately cheering Myne’s mood up.

"You’re right. In the end, I can only rely on you, Waffle," Myne said, patting Waffle’s soft, fluffy head. "By the way, let’s start harassing Fenrir. Maybe she’ll be willing to accept our telepathy link this time. Remember to connect me first, last time you forgot and she happened to accept the connection that day, making me miss a nice chance to talk to her," He said to Waffle, who, upon hearing his mother’s name, immediately became serious.

"Myne, are you sure this is a good idea? You know I still have nightmares about the beating last time. Believe me, if we keep irritating her like this, I don’t know about you, but I’m surely digging my own grave. You’re throwing me onto a path with no return," Waffle said hesitantly.

Having learned his lesson from his mother last time for helping Myne too much, Waffle was clearly nervous. If not for the fact that Myne’s rewards always outweighed the risks, he would have long stayed away from this matter.

"One week’s worth of your favourite sweets. You can buy anything you like," Myne, instead of talking nonsense, directly threw the offer the other party couldn’t refuse.

"Deal... I’ve connected you with me. Should we start?"

Waffle, a straightforward beast, was instantly convinced by Myne. Soon, both of them began attempting to contact Fenrir as they always did—a daily fun activity for the past two weeks, ever since Myne realized he couldn’t reach Fenrir through any other means.

Thankfully, at least Fenrir hadn’t permanently cut off his telepathy link, which gave him some confidence that there was still hope for amends. Otherwise, For a moment Myne even thought that she had broken up with him completely.

"Waffle, how many attempts do you think it’ll take this time before she forcefully cuts off the link and punishes us from afar this time?" Myne asked while looking at the beautiful scenery around him. He could sense a connection to Fenrir, but an invisible door blocked their communication. Using his telepathy skill, he knocked on the metaphorical door to inform Fenrir that he wanted to talk.

"Maybe the 13th? Last time, it lasted until the 17th attempt. But since today we’re doing this in the afternoon and she might be busy, it’s possible she’ll get irritated quickly compared to nighttime, right?" Waffle, fully focused and sweating profusely from nervousness, replied while silently praying that his mother wouldn’t notice his presence, otherwise no one could save him from another round of beating.
