It has been a month since Maya left for her journey to find another entrance to the dimensional creak, and Myne officially started his early retirement life. Nowadays, except for getting scolded by Aisha once in a while for being too lazy, there is nothing troublesome in Myne''s life.

    He was either having fun with his girls, or on the way to have fun with them. Thanks to that, he finally managed to spend time with everyone, and now no one is being ignored by him, and his relationship with each one is growing rapidly.

    If anything unexpected happened, it would surely be that Velvet, his naughty cat, was too restless and didn''t want to stay in the hotel all the time, and rolled on the bed all day long. So one day she dragged his clone and went travelling the kingdom to see new people and beautiful scenery.

    Myne thought it was good and that he would have more places to open portals if he travelled a bit, happily handing a clone to her. As for going with her himself? No way. How could a lazy ass like him wander outside in such cold weather?

    By the way, his plan to apologize to Fenrir and make amends still hadn''t made any progress. Now Myne truly feared that with each passing day, he was getting further and further from his second biggest backer. As for the reason, maybe because she was still angry and had no intention of coming in front of him.

    When he went to Levi''s underwater city to meet her, he was stopped by some weird-looking fishmen, who ruthlessly kicked him out of the city with the explanation that he was a wanted man and their queen had strictly ordered them to throw him out immediately upon seeing him.

    And because Myne knew this was also his fault—after all, who asked him to break his promise and never come to visit Levi?—he helplessly couldn''t do anything except sneak in. But sadly, his little trick had no effect, as even after searching for two days and doing everything he could, he didn''t find any divine beasts. Clearly, Levi and Fenrir were very well aware of his shamelessness and had already made advanced preparations.

    Later, he thought of using Waffle and his brothers'' help to find her, but in the end, not only did his trick not work, but those three little guys were also beaten by their mother when he wasn''t around. Waffle was also under house arrest for nearly 15 days as punishment for taking his side, and after getting free, he troubled him for another 15 days.

    In the midst of all of those bad things, one good thing happened: after three days, the barrier around the Aelmore Canyon disappeared, and it returned back to normal, making Garnet breathe a sigh of relief.

    Myne remembered that when he went to give her this good news, she was so excited that he nearly got eaten alive by her, and both of them didn''t get out of the room for nearly two days, and that too because other people started worrying about her, thinking what had happened that their queen suddenly locked herself in the bedroom.

    Anyway, two weeks later, Aniue and Lweis also returned from Ember Fall City, which had been destroyed by demons and divine beast fights and was later rebuilt by Fenrir''s mother. Sadly, most of the people whose souls were devoured by demons couldn''t be resurrected, and the two princes were tasked with transporting extra people from the capital there so that the city could restart operating normally.

    Overall, things were progressing smoothly. Myne discovered that as long as he avoided meddling in other people''s affairs, his life could also be as ordinary as that of most individuals. He was glad he had decided to take a break and not venture out... At least, that''s what he thought...

    ...

    "Ahem, Myne?"

    "Hmm, what is it?"

    Amy, who usually ignored Myne as if he were invisible out of fear of succumbing to his charm like the other girls, felt incredibly awkward initiating a conversation with him. Despite living together and being more familiar with him than he was with her, it was still challenging for her to speak to him directly and boldly as his other girls did.

    Myne sighed helplessly, setting aside the latest addition to his collection, ''Ronica, The Tentacle Queen,'' and turned his gaze towards Amy, who was seated opposite him on the couch, and torturing her poor fingers out of nervousness.

    "If you have something to say, just say it. There''s no need to beat around the bush. I''m not going to eat you. Be straightforward with me. I''m not some kind of big shot, it is not like you haven''t seen me get beaten by Aisha," He said jokingly to ease her nervousness and resume his reading.

    "Well, I was thinking... since you''re free recently, why don''t we go to the Elf Kingdom to explore those two dungeons there? Weren''t you looking forward to going there before? I think now is a good opportunity, don''t you?"

    Hearing Myne''s words, Amy realized that he wasn''t someone to be intimidated by. If he dared to do anything untoward, she had powerful backers like Aisha and Sylphy to protect her. Gathering her courage, she spoke hesitantly. After such a long time, she yearned to return to her kingdom, harbouring a faint hope of encountering another elf and no longer being the lone elf in this world.

    "Well, now that you mention it, I completely forgot about that," Myne replied with a thoughtful look. Before Garnet had thrown her trouble on his head, he was training June with the other girls in the Dungeon of Strength, where Amy had mentioned this matter to him. He had promised to take her there within three days, but then things had spiralled out of control. Now, an entire month later, Amy could no longer hold back and reminded him again.
