"So busy, Sigrid came to the Southern Continent for a vacation, but still has to deal with work from the Northern Continent."

Lanci shook his head, talking to himself.

Matters of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny and the Rebirth Church definitely can't be discussed at the entrance of this Old Literature Building.

Who knows where Sigrid has run off to, but she'll definitely be back in front of the Old Literature Building later.

Lanci leisurely walked over to a bench in the Magic Institute Garden to sit down, letting Sigrid peacefully chat with the Snow Witch for now, he wouldn't disturb Sigrid's work.

However, before long, Lanci sensed he had a call coming in himself.

"Lanci, meow, it's for you."

The Cat Boss handed Lanci a glowing Communication Magic Card.

"Who's looking for me at this time?"

Currently, Lanci has a commemorative Sacred Communication Magic Card from the Silvermoon Reform Association strapped to him, while the one originally used in Ichrite is with the Cat Boss.

"Eh, why is it Loren?"

Lanci glanced at the Communication Magic Card and found out it was the Emperor who was calling him.

He heard that Loren indeed returned to the Hutton Kingdom these past few days, but he was probably in his hometown, the Krantel Domain, not expecting to be called now.

Thinking carefully, when Lanci used this purple Communication Magic Card to contact Loren, it was through the introduction of Professor Bolao as an intermediary, so Loren didn't know it was Lanci on this end, instead thinking he was contacting the Love Guru.

Lanci immediately connected the call, not letting the Emperor wait long.

"Mr. Love Guru, I didn't expect to really reach you, did I interrupt you?"

The purple light on the Magic Card flickered, accompanied by Loren's voice.

He seemed a bit uneasy about contacting the Love Guru all of a sudden, not having reached out for quite a while, worried it might seem rude.

"No problem, Mr. Loren, I know you're very busy with work, so don't feel it's abrupt to seek my help, I understand your concerns well, and I've promised to continue helping you in the future."

Lanci lowered his voice a bit, speaking while placing the Communication Card in front of him.

"You're... really too kind, Guru."

Loren, having found his savior, finally felt at ease.

"Please hold on."

Lanci covered the Communication Magic Card, walked back into the Old Literature Building, and entered a resting area in the student service center.

The Old Literature Building's high ceiling and pillars created a wide view, interwoven with dark wooden furniture and richly textured stone walls.

Lanci walked to a conversation area equipped with several sets of sofas and low coffee tables, adding a touch of serene elegance with a few floor lamps next to the carpet.

He sat down holding the Little Black Cat; there was nobody else here today.

Lanci now needed to start working too.

This involved issues concerning the national security of the Cerryti Empire, and as a member of the Empire's Special Operations Department, he needed to be especially cautious.

"So please take your time telling me, what have you encountered?"

Lanci asked Loren, unhurriedly, signaling he was not busy and had plenty of time to listen.

"Here's the thing, Mr. Guru, Almis just contacted me. As you might know, I promised to tour Ichrite with her last time, and there's coincidently a great opera performance coming up, which is said to be highly sought after in Ichrite now, and her friend gave her two VIP box tickets, so she thinks tomorrow…"

Loren recounted to Lanci his plans for returning to Ichrite tomorrow.

First, he promised the Snow Witch a Church of the Goddess of Destiny team-building event, and the Snow Witch had already arranged the schedule for him, directly liaising from a business standpoint with the War God of the Cerryti Empire.

The War God also expressed interest in the play, especially looking forward to the Half-Witch chapter for a while, agreeing to the Emperor's schedule.

However, another problem arose. Upon learning of his return tomorrow, his good friend Florence planned to return his house keys and bid farewell before going back to the Camberra Kingdom. Regardless, Loren definitely needed to see his friend tomorrow, as he missed him dearly.

"But the real issue appeared; somehow, someone leaked my travel information. Juliana, over in the Yarolan Kingdom, took leave for the whole year, fortuitously making it to the Hutton Kingdom's side, saying she wants to thank me in person for saving her life outside Valhalla Canyon, 300 kilometers east of Yarolan Kingdom's eastern border. She hopes I can have a meal with her tomorrow..."

Loren's voice continued from the Communication Magic Card.

The last time the guru taught him, if encountering such a time management dilemma, with Juliana, Almis, and Florence all wanting to go out with him, rejecting two and agreeing to one would definitely sadden the others. He would either be seen as heartless, neglect the god, or put romance over friendship.

His three good friends were all Bishop-level Eighth-order Strongmen. Extended close-contact trips would definitely get caught using a puppet, even an Eighth-order Puppet wouldn't work, hence he had to appear in person.

The Love Guru's proposed method to please everyone was enhancing his time management skills, compensating for the quantitative shortfall with extreme operations. As long as he could increase the frequency of meeting all three, they would each feel he was always around, allowing him to hang out with all three simultaneously.

For instance, he could stagger the time to take each of them separately to the opera, placing them in different boxes. He'd spend a third of the time with each, constantly shuttling among the boxes without them noticing, each feeling he was always present.
