Cheat Awakening
Chapter 625. Reluctance
"Yes, please. I gladly accept it without hesitation."
Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire
With Amy''s permission, Fenrir handed her the contract. After reading it, Amy didn''t hesitate and signed it quickly.
Afterwards, Fenrir quickly explained to Amy about Myne''s two cheat-like skills: Appraisal Complete and Cut & Paste, which helped him reach where he is today. Of course, it was a modified version that Myne told her, in which he had to sacrifice his lifespan in order to cut or paste any skill.
After explaining everything, Amy''s mouth dropped open in astonishment. Soon, a look of understanding appeared on her face.
"So, this is how it is! I always wondered how Myne, and everyone around him, could possess so many skills, which didn''t make any sense. Even with a long lifespan of high elves, it''s still difficult to believe such bizarre skills exist in this world," She exclaimed, a hint of envy colouring her voice. She was probably thinking that if she had those two skills, along with the elf race''s super-long lifespan, she could become as powerful as a divine beast and maybe be able to save her race.
"Anyway, let''s get back to the main topic," Fenrir said, seeing that Amy had regained her composure and Myne had returned, although now looking at her hatefully. She spoke seriously.
"First, I''ll talk from the end. Though it''s impossible now, depending on Myne''s efforts, I can help you both return to the past... You can say at least there''s a possibility."
"Going back to the past!? That too based on my efforts?" Myne, who was cursing Fenrir in his heart, was dumbfounded upon hearing her words. Although he expected that she would definitely make him work hard to clear their divine beast mess, he didn''t expect that he would be the central figure in this endeavour.
Fenrir didn''t care about Myne''s inner thoughts and continued, "Myne! The Appraisal Complete and Cut & Paste skills that you have right now aren''t the best combination as of right now."
"What!?"
With a fake, complicated expression on his face, Myne hesitated for a moment. Then he walked forward, stood beside Amy, faced Fenrir, and spoke.
"But Fenrir, I think I might not be able to help you this time."
As he said that, a frown appeared on Fenrir''s face, and Ymir''s as well (though hidden under his helmet). Amy was literally shaking from nervousness. If not for Fenrir''s powerful, superior aura, she might have collapsed, heartbroken and hopeless.
"What do you mean?" Fenrir asked, confused. She didn''t understand why Myne, who likes to seek death everywhere, would refuse such a small request this time.
"Huh? Didn''t you tell me to avoid trouble just yesterday and stay at home? I think what you said makes sense, and no matter how you look at it, this entire matter of going back in time doesn''t sound safe at all. So I should stay away from it. Besides, you have a goddess backing you this time. I believe she can definitely find someone better than me for this... Huh? What''s the matter, Amy?"
Myne, who had been rambling nonsense, looked at Amy, who suddenly clung tightly to his arm, tears streaming down her face.
"Please, Myne, help me save my family. I beg you. I''m willing to give you everything if you help me save them."
Even Fenrir and Ymir were caught off guard by Amy''s determination to save her people. Although they could sympathize with her pain, none of them could truly understand her inner feelings—the fear of losing everything and, after years of suffering, finally seeing a glimmer of hope to reunite with her loved ones. Naturally, she was desperate beyond the words.
Let alone giving everything she had to Myne—if someone asked her to sacrifice her life to save her people, she wouldn''t hesitate for a second and would do it with a smile on her face.
Sighing, Myne relented. "Fine, as long as you stop crying and promise not to complain to Aisha every time I look at you, and stop calling me a pervert in your heart, I will help you... But only this time." While wiping the tears from Amy''s face, he spoke with a helpless smile and gave her a tight hug. This time, Amy didn''t react like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Instead, she hugged him back and burst into tears again.
Fenrir, watching this, nodded with a satisfied smile. She knew Myne couldn''t be so selfish. Of course, if she had known he was faking the entire time to fool both her and Amy for his own benefit, she wouldn''t have been so pleased.
"Sigh, young people. They are full of friendship and love," Ymir sigh, wiping a nonexistent tear from the corner of his eye and sighing happily as he watched the emotional drama between Myne and Amy. At first, he had been scared by Myne''s rejection, knowing that his mother had said Myne was an inevitable part of the plan. Without him, the plan would be nothing but a castle in the clouds. Thankfully, in the end, everything was resolved happily.
