Cheat Awakening

"...E-Excuse me! This is my first time meeting you. My name is Amilia Eyllissithek, a High Elf! You can also call me Amy. T-Thank you very mu-ssh for giving me this opportunity to meet you, Your Highness."

Amy bit her tongue nervously as she spoke. She was sweating profusely as if standing before a divine beast was more intimidating than facing her greatest enemy.

"Little one, there's no need to be so nervous. I'm not going to eat you. Relax. And are self-introductions still necessary these days? Well, it's fine. I am Fenrir, a divine beast who prefers to stay out of trouble," As she spoke the last part, Fenrir gave Myne a meaningful glance, clearly implying her words were meant for him.

Myne, speechless and thoroughly bewildered by her sudden targeting, wanted to roll his eyes in annoyance. But then, Amy's body began to glow brightly with white light, attracting his attention.

"Huh? What's this? Did she just grant Amy telepathy skill?" Myne exclaimed, completely taken aback. He quickly cast Appraisal on the dumbfounded Amy, who remained unresponsive to this unexpected gift. After all, the ability to contact a divine beast anytime, anywhere, was essentially a life-saving trump card, it is hard to accept receiving such a wonderful gift for free.

"Hmm, as I expected, Fenrir gave Amy her contact information. But why? Does she want to protect her so the Elf race doesn't go extinct? If that's the case, then it's very likely possible. It seems like I have to work hard and quickly seduce Amy. After all, I have the responsibility of reviving an entire race on my little shoulders." Myne looked at Amy, who had closed her eyes, feeling the changes in her body, and nodded seriously.

As for why Amy had an extra skill in her status, it was because someone was too bored and felt pity that everyone was working tirelessly with little progress. After exhausting an entire lake, and killing countless fish and slimes, he finally found a dozen slimes with the Tenfold Experience Acquisition skill and gave it to everyone around him, so they wouldn't have to work like oxen.

"You have received my protection. With this, you can talk to me whenever you want, anywhere, anytime. If something happens, you can contact me immediately. Don't hesitate, thinking about what I might think. Remember, you carry the will and perhaps the last bloodline of your entire race. If something happens to you, we might truly lose all High Elves in our world, and I believe no one wants to see that, right?"

Suddenly hearing Fenrir's voice inside her head, Amy stirred, her eyes fluttering open. She looked around frantically, trying to pinpoint the source of Fenrir's voice. It was understandable. Receiving such a powerful ability out of the blue would be quite overwhelming.

Besides, the responsibility of potentially saving her entire race was a heavy burden for anyone to bear, especially for someone, who herself was barely able to live peacefully under the protection of Myne without fearing getting hunted down by the slave traders.

"Eh, Eh? Wh-what's this? Eh?" Amy stammered, her words barely audible. If Myne hadn't been with her for months, he would have assumed this elf grandma was experiencing some kind of mental breakdown.

"It's all right, Amy. You've received 'Your Highness' Fenrir's protection. Think of it as a special skill that allows you to communicate with her telepathically. With this, you can reach out to her anytime, anywhere. However, whether she answers immediately depends on her availability. She always has some work to do and is very busy. In the past month, she hasn't answered my calls even once, despite me calling her who knows how many times."

While explaining to Amy the effects of Fenrir's protection, Myne didn't forget to take revenge and taunt her.

Fenrir gave Myne a furious gaze, seeing him try to destroy her almighty image in front of Amy. Thankfully, the other party was too busy trying to figure out the uses of the telepathy skill she had just acquired and didn't notice the silent fight between Myne and Fenrir's eyes.

"Thank you so much. To be able to receive protection from a Divine Beast is certainly wasteful for someone like me..."

"You don't have to speak, you know. Just talk telepathically," Fenrir temporarily put aside Myne's matter and transmitted telepathically, not wanting to let a bastard meddle in her affairs any further.

While watching both of them talking in their minds and feeling outcast again, Myne shook his head with disdain. Looking around boredly, he suddenly realized that Waffle was missing.

"Waaaafuuuuuu~"

"Aaaaaaaahhh × 2!"

As Myne walked around, A series of ear-piercing shrieks echoed through the air. Looking up, he saw Waffle soaring hundreds of meters above them, his two brothers clinging precariously to his back. With an excited shout, all three of them fell from the sky.

Waffle, who got used to flying high and didn't fear the height, was having fun, but that wasn't the case with his brothers. They were already very nervous when Waffle suggested they jump into the water from high in the sky.

But when they actually reached a hundred meters, their little courage gave away. Despite their pleas to be put down, Waffle, influenced by someone's bad example, ruthlessly dropped them and also fell with them to enjoy the thrill of jumping into the water from high in the sky.

Boom!

Splash!

"Looks like they're having fun. I'm starting to feel like a background extra here. Sigh, no one cares about me..."

"Myne! Save me, they are trying to kill me!"

Suddenly, Waffle shot out of the water like a torpedo, landing in Myne's arms. He looked back at the water with a mix of fear and exhilaration. His brothers, with bloodshot eyes, followed close behind, staring at Waffle in Myne's arms as if they couldn't wait to show him their brotherly love.

"All right, boys, stop making trouble. Waffle, you take Myne to the World Tree and do what I told you before. Myne, afterwards, you can contact Ymir through 'that.' I've already informed him about your visit, and he'll come to you soon after he receives your signal."

Suddenly hearing Ymir's name in her mind, Amy, who was happily chatting with Fenrir and receiving an extra skill, froze on the spot. Her body trembled uncontrollably. Unfortunately, everyone was busy with their own matters, and she stood behind Fenrir, so no one noticed her abnormality or came forward to comfort her, leaving her mind flooded with negative thoughts.

Because Fenrir deliberately concealed some information, Myne wisely chose not to ask. He nodded along with Waffle, and after giving sweets to Waffle's elder brothers to coax them, he said goodbye to Fenrir and approached Amy, who seemed to have regained her composure. At least, that's what she showed. Myne simply opened a portal back home and sent her back before he, along with Waffle, appeared in front of the World Tree again.

Last time, he had been too focused on matters concerning Fenrir, so he hadn't approached the World Tree. Thanks to his good eyesight and the colossal height of the World Tree itself, he was able to see its trunk completely and directly opened the portal right in front of it.

However, even so, when Myne walked out of the portal, he felt like a grain of sand before it. He wasn't even qualified to call himself an ant in terms of size compared to the World Tree.

"This is truly a spiritual pillar of the entire world. Just how brain-dead does someone have to be to even think about cutting down such a magnificent being?" Myne sighed as he looked at the World Tree with awe in his eyes.

"Myne? Shall we begin?" Waffle didn't care whether Myne was lost in profound thoughts. After looking at the World Tree curiously, especially the different kinds of beautiful birds flying in the sky, Waffle, who couldn't wait to free himself and explore the surroundings alone, asked impatiently.

"Begin? Begin what?" Myne, who had no idea about Fenrir's plan, asked confusedly.

"Praying, of course! Didn't Mother tell you about it? We have to pray to the World Tree so we can receive its blessing. She's already left an imprint on us, which will help us be recognized by it," Waffle explained with an expression as if it was a matter of fact and Myne should have known about it.

What kind of nonsense is this? Now even a tree is giving blessings? Is giving blessings so cheap nowadays?

Although Myne complained in his heart, he didn't dare take Fenrir's words lightly. He quickly followed Waffle's instructions and touched the giant root emerging from the ground beneath his feet.
