"Does anyone get hurt?" Myne asked as he saw Amy and the others erge from the do-shaped cover made of tree roots, which she created with her magic.
"Thankfully, no one," Amy replied, glancing at Waffle and Ocea with a complicated expression. Before this, she hadn't known about Myne's strength. Because of his playful and perverted nature, she had always taken him lightly. But now, seeing him release earth-shattering forbidden magic as casually as if he were drinking water, she didn't know how to treat him. After all, in the end, she still had to depend on him to save her race. However, the more strength he showed, the harder it would be for her to stand on equal footing with him.
"Nice, you did a good job, Amy," Myne gave Amy a thumbs up and waved his hand, opening a portal back ho. "All right, everyone, ti to go ho," He clapped his hands and gestured for them to move into the portal.
"Cetus, can you hear ?" Myne called out to Cetus while watching everyone step into the portal. He wanted to say goodbye to her and, of course, remind her about their plan for tonight.
Bang!
"Yes, Myne, what's the matter?"
Just as Myne was daydreaming about eating a divine beast, a loud explosion sounded, cutting off her response. A second later, Cetus's hurried voice followed.
"Nothing. I just wanted to say that we've achieved our goal of testing the dungeon's strength and are now heading back ho. So, I wanted to say goodbye and remind you about our date..."
Bang!
"B*tch! How dare you hit my eye!"

Whoosh!
Myne, who was happily speaking, was suddenly interrupted by another explosion in his head. What followed was Cetus's shrieks, her voice followed by the sound of rushing water.
"Sorry, Myne, I'm a bit busy with sothing. So, what were you saying?" A few monts later, Cetus returned her focus to their conversation and asked in an apologetic tone.
"I'm talking about our date—"
"B*tch! Can't you wait a minute? Can't you see I'm talking to soone!" Myne was interrupted again, making him very impatient. Now he wanted to disconnect the call, but part of him was also curious about the "b*tch" Cetus kept ntioning.
"Sigh. Our date, right? There's no change in the plan. Co to at the ti I told you. We'll talk then. Now I have to show this b*tch who's the boss." With that, Cetus cut off their telepathic link, leaving Myne speechless.
Great. I hope she doesn't forget her promise because of that b*tch. I wonder who she could be. Not everyone can make a divine beast go all out, Myne thought curiously as he walked into the portal and returned to his house.
...
"Welco ho!"
The one to greet him was Sylphy, who seed to be done getting to know Ocea. Unlike Myne, Waffle, and Amy, she couldn't directly communicate with her she didn't have Cetus's blessing, so Amy was working as a communicator between them.
Myne nodded at her with a smile and looked toward the kitchen. There, Waffle was troubling Aisha, likely talking about his hidden place where he kept his snacks. anwhile, Ted was chasing Ocea around wherever she went, seemingly having found a new toy to play with for the next few days.
"Why does it seem as if you love children a bit too much? Did you kidnap another one from their family?" Sylphy joked as she watched Ocea and Ted playing a ga of cat and mouse.
"What do you an by kidnapping? She was given to by her mother because she trusted . And now I'll take care of her. I'm serious and responsible, all right? Besides, most children like a lot. One of my friends ( Henaha ), has a lot of children, and all of them love dearly," Myne replied with a poker face at Sylphy's joke.
"By the way, I'm going to et Fenrir. I want to discuss about Seed Skills with her. If Aisha asks, tell her about it," Myne quickly changed the subject. He couldn't wait to go to Fenrir and ask her about those Seed Skills.
"Seed Skills? What are they?" Hearing the unfamiliar term, Sylphy's interest was instantly piqued. But Myne replied that he didn't know, gave her a light kiss, and hurriedly walked into the portal.
...
"Sigh, you can't even sleep peacefully on holidays nowadays," Fenrir slowly opened her sleepy eyes and glared at the portal that suddenly appeared before her. She couldn't help but complain irritatedly.
"Hello, my dear Fenrir. What are you doing?" Myne walked out of the portal with a smiling face and greeted Fenrir, who gave him an eye roll.
"Trying to sleep, but now I can't do it because I'm sure you won't let . What are you doing here? Didn't you go to the Elf Kingdom to explore the World Tree dungeon? Why did you suddenly pop up before ?"
Myne, who was used to Fenrir's tough-on-the-outside-but-soft-on-the-inside attitude, didn't take her words seriously. He sat down in front of her big face.
"Forget it. By the way, how did your eting with Cetus go? I heard she even dumped her daughter on your head, and now you're her babysitter?"
Fenrir suddenly had a playful smile on her face as she stared at Myne as if she couldn't wait to see his ugly reaction. But, sadly for her, she didn't know that, unlike her, Cetus had given too much in exchange for him taking care of her daughter. Myne felt only excitent regarding the matter rather than a feeling of being taken advantage of.
"Yes, but how do you know about it? You didn't secretly eavesdrop on our conversation, right?" Myne, who had just co back to his senses, raised an eyebrow as he asked. However, he didn't think much about it and continued.
"Although it's indeed troubleso to take care of another brat, she's a very sensitive and smart girl. She always listens to my commands, so it shouldn't be a problem. At least, compared to Waffle, she's easy to raise."
Just as Myne finished, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and found Fenrir looking at him with an unfriendly expression.
"And whose fault is it that my little boy went astray and beca so naughty? Bastard, if you dare question my parenting, you're done for!" Fenrir said angrily.
"Sorry, sorry, my bad! And I'm not talking about that. You're misunderstanding ! I just an that girls are generally better-behaved than boys. You're a lady too, with a lot of brothers, so you should understand it better than , right?" Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Myne realized he had stepped on Fenrir's sore nerve, and hurriedly apologized.
"Well, I have to admit that's true. I also wanted a girl, but..." Fenrir sighed, looking disappointed. "Forget it, it doesn't matter now." She then glared at him.
"Forget about ! We're talking about you! Why are you pulling into this?" Seeing Myne giving her a pitiful look, Fenrir snapped back to reality and spoke angrily.
"Ah, about ... There's nothing much to talk about. Cetus seed very impressed with your 'deed' of sending Waffle to . So, as you said, after a casual introduction, she imdiately got to the point and dumped Ocea on before hurriedly kicking us out to finish her business."
"Huh? Why are you looking at like that again? Did I say sothing wrong?" Myne, who had been explaining his eting with Cetus, suddenly noticed Fenrir glaring at him with gritted teeth, as if she wanted to eat him alive. He quickly thought about it and found that he hadn't said anything that angered her, which made him even more confused.
"So, you even gave Cetus's daughter a na? And it's Ocea, huh? Quite a nice na, don't you think? At least it's a hundred tis better than Waffle, which sounds like a dog's na..." Fenrir responded coldly.
Hearing the reason behind Fenrir's sudden change in mood, Myne broke out in a cold sweat. After all, it was a universal fact that if there was anything worse than an angry woman, it was surely a jealous woman.
Myne hadn't expected that the casual na he lazily picked would cause Fenrir to feel jealous and suddenly question Waffle's na, which she had approved herself.
"Well, it was Amy who chose it. You know my naming talent. How could I co up with sothing so good?" Myne, a master of lying, denied her accusation without batting an eye, maintaining a calm expression while waving his hand.
Fenrir, who was ready to teach Myne a lesson, suddenly paused. She took a deep look at him, confird that he didn't seem to be lying, and forced herself to calm down. She decided not to pursue the matter further, allowing Myne to breathe a sigh of relief. He resolved that, after returning ho, the first thing he would do was level up his Liar skill. Until he maxed it out, he wouldn't feel safe talking to his won. God only knew when they'd pick up a word from his speech and create an argunt over it.
