Cheat Awakening

"My Lord, Your Majesty has summoned you to his study," A middle-aged maid informed Myne and others.

Just as Myne coaxed his two wives after two hours of hard work in the bathhouse and was helping Aisha and Sylphy pack up their things, a middle-aged maid entered their room and informed them.

And here I thought we would return home without any problems, Myne thought with a helpless expression. Along with his confused wives, he followed the maid to Faren's study and saw him working on some documents.

"Oh, you all came so fast? It seems like you're in a hurry, huh? But it's also good, so I won't waste your precious time... Now then, your wedding ceremony has been successfully completed, so you'll firstly have something like a break. However, there are still various things that you have to decide on," Faren said with a serious face.

Huh? What does he mean by having something like a break? Did he misunderstand us his subordinate or something? And what else is left to be decided? I know it, this cheap father-in-law is not a good person who will let me go away with his daughter so easily," Myne thought with a frown.

Faren probably noticed Myne's expression, as if saying "Huh?" He wryly smiled and continued speaking...

"You are establishing a clan, are you not? I will, of course, give you permission, just as I have said, but what should I write in the clan name section in the official registration document? And looking at your faces, I don't think any of you have thought of a Clan name, right? Or do you want me to just register it with your name, for example, Myne Fortuna Clan or Sylphy Fortuna Clan?

Believe me, those kinds of clan names definitely won't work, unless you are not serious about your clan."

Ahhh! How could I forget such an important matter? I am building a great clan, but I actually never thought of its name. Sigh, why am I so stupid in these kinds of normal matters? Myne thought with a slight bit of embarrassment. Even Aisha and Sylphy were no different, as they had also forgotten about this matter.

"Father-in-law, may I please have some time to decide it? I want to discuss this matter thoughtfully with Aisha and Sylphy instead of hastily giving an answer," Myne thought for a while and, after not coming up with any good name, he asked for time.

"Haha, as expected, it's too harsh to ask you to decide it right now. Alright then, report as soon as you decide on it. The study room I am staying in right now will always be available for you. Use your magic to directly teleport here any time you want."

"Also, you are now one of the nobles, although a new one. I think that it is rare, but there might be other nobles and the like who will casually visit you. If not after the clan, there are always some big people who want to meet you. For that, your current house is unfavourable in a lot of ways.

What are your plans for that?" Faren asked calmly, not as serious as before, while drinking his favourite black tea.

But for this kind of matter, Myne didn't need to say anything, as Sylphy, who was going to be fully responsible for the Clan, answered instantly.

"About this, we already have a plan. The Clan House is currently under construction, so we were planning on making the third floor the Fortuna House's center of foreign affairs."

This was Sylphy's proposal, which she had presented to Myne during the time when they were making the raw draft of the Clan Building, and Myne gave it a green signal after thinking for a few seconds.

"It's good that you guys have already thought this through there shouldn't be a problem then. As expected of my sweet little girl, you didn't disappoint your father," Faren nodded happily, seeing that Sylphy was using her brain somewhere instead of dealing with every matter with her sword.

"Next, what are your plans for the Clan's reception and staff?"

Now, this is indeed a big problem. Although I have some savings, hiring experienced people to do work for me is not something that can be done with just money alone. Connections and status are more important factors in this kind of thing.

But since father-in-law has put this problem on the table, then he might already have a solution," Myne thought and was about to ask Faren for some advice when he heard Aisha's voice.

"For this concern, I have an idea. Did you not receive a report from Bazzam Hanson, Lucas Town's guild leader?"

Oh? Are we going to poach a receptionist directly from the guild? Well, this is indeed a nice plan. Anyway, their life in my clan will be many times better than that corrupt guild.

While Myne was thinking about how they were going to poach all of the beautiful staff members of the guild, suddenly Faren exclaimed with surprise.

"Lucas Town's guild leader! Ah, are you referring to that? I did receive it, but... Wait!? By idea, do you mean the girl mentioned in the report!?"

"Yes, I was thinking that it would be most convenient for our Clan to shelter her. Is it alright?"

Myne felt like he was reading the wrong script, and the conversation between Aisha and Father-in-law seemed to be going completely different direction. He decided to listen silently. He also looked at Sylphy to see if only he was the one who was out of the loop, but after seeing her confused face, he sighed in relief.

"Ms. Aisha, About that..."

Just as Faren was thinking about Aisha's plan, suddenly a surprised exclamation came from behind Myne, startling him.

Everyone looked at the source of the sound and saw Aniue, who had appeared like a ghost and stood behind Myne, listening to their conversation.

"Shit, why the hell are you standing behind me so closely? This room is so big can't you stand somewhere else?" Myne yelled while jumping a little bit away from Aniue with a disgusted look.

"Now, this is also a problem. Can't a man stand wherever he wants?" Aniue replied, shaking his head. He couldn't understand why Myne was making a fuss over such a small thing.

"Fufu..."

Aisha, who knew the reason, couldn't help but giggle while covering her mouth. But after getting a dangerous look from Myne, she instantly put on a serious expression, although anyone with eyes could see that she was just faking it.

Faren ignored Myne and Aniue, shut his eyes, and went into deep thought, which lasted for five entire minutes.

"Sigh, alright. It isn't unreasonable. Although I was thinking of sheltering her in the capital city, there are too many people there, and if someone found out about her, then this would be a big problem. But if she stays with you guys, it will probably be less conspicuous, and with you guys around, we'll be able to watch over her from a close distance without making her uncomfortable.

Also, above all, even if something goes wrong, with Myne being around, we don't have to worry."

Hearing what Faren said, Aisha let out a sigh of relief.

"If that's the case, however, wouldn't we need one more person to be a permanent guard?" Aisha asked after realizing that they couldn't just be in the clan all the time and watch over a girl. After all, they also had to do missions this was the main reason for forming the clan.

"That's certainly true, I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it," Faren nodded with realization and continued, "Very well, I'll select one for you guys. Myne, Sylphy, you have no objections, right?"

Objections, you say, huh? If you two had told us something that we can understand, then naturally we might have some thoughts. But without knowing what you're talking about, how can we have objections? And this bad wife of mine already started hiding things from her handsome husband right after marriage.

I must have to have some in-depth conversation with her, Myne thought, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twist.

"Honestly, although I don't understand anything, nor do I know what the hell you're talking about, but since you two have already decided, then I shall leave it to you. You guys deal with your own mess, but remember not to drag me into this matter later," Myne declared his position, but neither Aisha nor Faren cared about his condition, as they knew it was just his empty talk.

"Now then, the other matters aren't that urgent, so I'll talk to you about them when you report on your Clan's name. It's about time for you to return to Lucas Town, right?"

Seeing everyone nod, Faren continued, "Then don't directly teleport back to your house. You'll be returning by carriage for the commoners to see. I've already arranged a carriage for you."

Not this carriage nonsense again... there go my life's precious six hours in vain, Myne thought with a crying face.
