Cheat Awakening

"Did you understand anything?" Myne leaned close to Amy and whispered.

"I... I don't think so," Amy replied, maintaining her surprised expression as if trying to comprehend the concept of a whale and its significance in the ocean.

Unbeknownst to them, Cetus overheard their conversation and frowned sadly. It seemed this wasn't the first time people had struggled to grasp her words. It was understandable, considering Oscan was far from their current location, and there was no way for people to have encountered or heard of aquatic creatures.

"High Elf, girl, Amy, don't worry about the World Tree and your home," Cetus, changed the subject, and assured her, "I am diligently protecting it. You can rest assured and focus on saving your people." She seemed aware of Fenrir and her mother's secret plan to send them back in time to save the Elven race.

"I am truly thankful to Your Highness, Cetus," Amy replied gratefully. "With your support and that of the other divine beasts, I believe we will surely be able to revive them."

While watching Cetus and Amy converse, Myne noticed that Waffle had disappeared. Just as he was wondering where the troublemaker had gone, he spotted him floating down from behind Cetus, accompanied by another small creature.

Myne focused his eyes and discovered the small creature was a pink… whale?

"Kyuu~Kyuu!"

"What the hell?" Myne exclaimed with shock. "Where did Waffle find this little brat?" He looked at the pink whale, then turned to Cetus's giant form, quickly realizing the creature's identity.

"He is Myne. I am talking about him. I now live with him. I am an independent divine beast who doesn't live with his mother anymore," Waffle landed on Myne's shoulder, introducing himself to the small pink whale, who made "Kyuu, kyuu!" sounds with wide, surprised eyes.

"KyuKyu! Cough, sorry, it was out of habit. Nice to meet you," The small pink whale apologized, circling Myne before stopping in front of him and greeting him politely, her large pink eyes fixed on him.

Uu, she is quite cute and well-mannered. Compared to this idiot brat Waffle, she's a hundred times better, Myne nodded at the pink whale with a satisfied expression, rubbing his hand on her smooth skin.

"Nice to meet you! My name is Myne! You can call me Brother Myne if you want. Also, if Waffle harasses you, you can always come to me. I will teach him a good lesson for you."

"Hey, you can't do that," Waffle quickly protested, seeing Myne ruining his nice image for his own benefit.

"This means you plan to harass her?" Myne narrowed his eyes, looking at Waffle suspiciously.

"I didn't mean it like that…" Waffle stammered.

As Myne and Waffle bickered, Cetus, who had been conversing with Amy, noticed their small commotion. She turned to them, and then her gaze fell upon her daughter floating beside them, looking dumbfounded and watching their drama with a troubled look, not understanding how to stop them.

"All right, please don't fight here. Also, let me introduce you to my daughter. How about it? She's as beautiful as me, right?"

"MOTHER!!!"

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Cetus asked innocently.

As soon as she stopped, her daughter immediately scowled at her, the pink skin on her cheeks turning red from embarrassment. Clearly, she didn't expect her mother to say such childish words in front of guests.

Seems like mother and daughter have a good bond, Myne smiled as he watched Cetus teasing her shy daughter and cast appraisal on both of them.

F*ck! So many skills and abilities. Compared to her, Waffle, this lazy ass, seems like an imposter. As expected of a real descendant of a divine beast, this is what a divine beast child's status should be. Sadly, Cetus seems to have some kind of protection on her, and I can't peek into her stats. I really wanted to see how old she was, Myne sighed regretfully. After a casual glance at the information on child Cetus's skills and abilities, he closed the status window.

"Ahm, Myne?" Cetus called, interrupting his thoughts

"Yes?" Hearing Cetus calling him, Myne looked at her with a questioning glance.

"Myne, I'm sorry, but I have a small favour to ask. If you don't mind?"

Cetus hesitated for a moment before speaking, while child Cetus gave Myne nervous glances. God knows what was going on in both the mother's and daughter's minds.

"Well, as long as it's within my capability, I am more than willing to grant this favour," Myne replied with a smile, making Cetus feel relieved.

"It's not a big deal, I was just wondering, could you bring this child of mine to the outside world with you?"

"For a long time, she's wanted to see what the outside world looks like. She's constantly pestering me about it, but I'm too busy with my work. And with my special identity, I can't just wander around casually. So, she's become quite rebellious lately and has even tried to run away from home several times. For this, I've to forbid her from going outside."

"But you know, it's not a solution to keep her locked up. I don't want to deprive her of seeing the world, but I'm not comfortable leaving her alone. You know how dangerous the outside world can be."

"However, things would be different if she were with you. If you look after her, I'd feel much more at ease. You've taken care of Waffle for a long time, and I haven't heard a single complaint from Fenrir. So, I'm sure you'd do a good job with her. What do you think? Will you take her along?"

"Also, don't worry, she's not as naughty as Waffle and will be a good girl. I can guarantee that."

Seeing Myne's hesitation while looking at Waffle, Cetus quickly added. It seems like Fenrir, she also couldn't wait to get rid of this little troublemaker for some time and have some pace in her life.

"I don't mind letting her stay with me, but how do I bring her outside? Waffle looks like a wolf pup, and unless he uses his weird skills, no one will take him seriously. But how do I explain a fish floating in the air? Even if people didn't know she's a divine beast, any idiot could tell she's some kind of unique creature, not something they can see just because they want to."

"There's a high possibility that many bad people will lay their eyes on her the moment they see her. She would bring a lot of trouble to a weak guy like me," Myne explained regretfully, avoiding eye contact with child Cetus, who was currently using her ultimate weapon against him—puppy eyes.

"Damn you, Waffle! You idiot! You couldn't keep your mouth shut!" Myne cursed angrily, glaring at Waffle, who was staring at something interesting on the ground with an amazed look on his face.

Looks like I have to use my trump card, thankfully I have taken all the information about Myne from Fenrir, otherwise now I have nothing to coax him, Cetus thought while breathing a sigh of relief.

Then under the surprised, and doubtful eyes of everyone, her giant whale body slowly released a golden light, which soon became so intense they could hardly keep their eyes open. When the light died down, Cetus' giant body disappeared, and a middle-aged lady appeared in her place.

The middle-aged lady looked around 32. She had long blue hair down to her hips and matching dark blue eyes. A mole under her right eye complemented her milky white skin. She wore a blue-lined sweater, trying to cover her super deluxe I-cup size breasts, and since she didn't seem to be wearing a bra, her hard nipples were clearly visible. Her big, bubbly butt was barely covered by her tight black elastic pants.

Overall, Myne immediately gave her a thumbs up for her clothing sense while wiping the drool from his mouth. He didn't expect that this innocent-looking, motherly divine beast would be so much his type, and also very open-minded.

While Myne was staring at Cetus' breathtaking body without blinking, a victorious smile appeared on her face, which she quickly covered up. First, Cetus looked at Amy and, seeing that she was dumbfounded by the fact that she could transform into a beautiful hume, she nodded satisfiedly.

Everything is going according to my plan. Now I just have to convince Myne, and then I can finally have some private time to think about other matters rather than always worrying about this brat, Cetus thought with a smile and slowly floated toward Myne.
