Chapter 548. Perspective
"Myne, where are you taking me? And why are your wives arming themselves from head to toe?" June asked in a low voice after pulling Myne out of the house. Though she understood that Myne wanted to make a place for her in his family, she was confused about why she had been given leather armour and a dagger.
The preparations, as if they were going to war, filled her with apprehension, and dark thoughts raced through her mind.
"Do you know why you suffered so much in the last incident?" Myne didn't answer but asked calmly as he helped June put on the armour she clutched tightly instead of wearing.
"Because I was careless and stuck my nose into someone else's business that I couldn't afford to offend?" June replied confusedly, without thinking too much. She still had naive thoughts and was not using her brain fully. If Myne hadn't had a serious expression, she might also have wanted to answer jokingly that she wasn't fast enough and got caught by those bastards.
"This is the difference between you and the three inside the house. When faced with danger, you try to escape or avoid it. But we all know that's not the solution. Since you're now my woman, it's time for you to become like them. I'm not telling you to copy them or be perfect, but at least have enough strength to protect yourself, and easily kill some random hooligans if they dare to mess with you."
"That's why you're wearing this armour and holding the dagger. Today, I'm going to help you change your profession from an amateur chef to a veteran warrior. Be ready. Your gruelling training is about to begin, so be ready.
Your sisters won't be easy on you just because you're new to this field," Saying that Myne gave a dumbfounded June a light kiss on her forehead and walked back into the house, laughing evilly.
As the door closed behind her, June, finally coming to her senses, and dropped the dagger in her hand unknowingly. After going through so much trouble, she was expecting to spend some special time with Myne before returning to her normal boring life, except that she was now also a part of a big family, but who would have thought that the real nightmare was just about to begin?
Soon, while June was wondering how she could save her comfortable and leisurely life, Myne, along with everyone else, walked out of the house fully armed. Without giving June a chance to speak, he opened a portal in front of her and dragged her into it.

"Sob, Myne, please have some pity on me. I really can't take its life—just look at it! It's so cute… how can I kill it?"
30 minutes later after arriving in the dungeon with everyone else, Myne was already regretting his decision to accept his cheap ghostly father-in-law's offer. There were three imprisoned slimes in front of June, but instead of stabbing them and finishing her task, she had been talking nonsense and making lame excuses for the past half an hour, trying to avoid killing them.
At first, Aisha and Sylphy tried to encourage her along with Myne, but seeing no results, they all gave up and moved forward, leaving only Myne, June, and Amy, the elf princess who was living with Myne, who seemed to have something to talk him and stay behind.
"June, honey, before I lose my cool and your ass turns red, you better move that goddamn dagger and kill those three slimes. You have five more minutes. If you don't kill them, then I promise you I will throw you in front of a troll and let it beat you until you won't kill it. And no matter how much you cry, I won't help you with anything except healing you so you won't die.
I brought you here to train you and make you stronger, and I won't go back before you make progress," Myne, whose neck was covered in black lines from anger, and was about to explode from anger, forced a smile and gave June a final ultimatum before leaving her alone with the three locked slimes.
"Sob, sob, but they're innocent... and so cute..." June stubbornly insisted on being a monster lover, but sadly, Myne completely ignored her this time and didn't offer any words of comfort at all.
"Sigh, I feel like an old father trying to teach his daughter to protect herself from the cruel world," Myne shook his head, took the water bottle handed to him by Amy, and spoke helplessly.
"You're looking at this from your perspective. That's why you think it's child's play to kill those slimes, and she is just messing around. But you are ignoring the most important fact that not everyone has the mental strength to kill any living being without batting an eye."
"Most people can't do that. Otherwise, why, when monsters attack a town, do only a handful of people survive? Can't they see them coming from afar and run away? After all, there's nothing more important than life. Yet, people still stay in the town and crush trouble on others even at the last moment or run around like headless chickens instead of thinking about saving their lives."
"Everyone has a different way of seeing things. You might think those slimes are disgusting and can kill them without hesitation. But if someone told you to kill a cute little puppy, you might rather kill that person than the puppy because, in your eyes, that innocent puppy is more important than the person. This is also true for June. For her, slimes are no different than a puppy.
She thinks they're cute and innocent, so it's difficult for her to make up her mind to kill them..."
"If you listen to my advise, I think you can find an ugly creature with a bad reputation like a goblin. Then June would surely feel more at ease killing them. After all, everyone hates goblins."
Amy, who rarely speaks a few words, said so much in one breath leaving Myne speechless. After all, even after living together for months, let's not talk about Myne who was missing most of the time, Aisha and Sylphy probably haven't exchanged more than 100 words a day with her. She's completely an introverted silent girl. So, hearing her speak so much at once, Myne stared at her dazedly.
"Huh? What happened? Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked confusedly, seeing Myne's weird behaviour, and quickly made some distance from him. After all, living with someone who made weird noises with his wives most of the nights, whenever Myne looked at her for too long, Amy felt a chill run down her spine as if she were being stared at by a bad wolf, and her precious body was in danger.
Although she wasn't ignorant about adult things, in terms of age, she was a centurion and had seen a lot of things, even though she was still a virgin.
Unlike Myne's other women who were helpless against his little brother's addictiveness and willing to share him with other women after realizing they couldn't squeeze him dry alone, she was still a fog in the well, and like most elves, although she wasn't arrogant, it didn't mean she wasn't selfish.
She had long ago decided she would never share her man with anyone, so she always tried to stay away from Myne, fear that he would fool her with his sweet mouth and take her most pernicious things, she had already seen his abilities to deceive women so she is a little afraid of him.
"I never expected you were a genius. You should communicate with others more often. You know, sometimes I even forget that you live with us. In the house, your presence is even lower than Ted's parents. If you continue to be a silent ghost, believe me, you might not be able to make any friends after moving to clan building. By the way, your idea is nice.
I should catch some goblins for June. She seems to hate them as well," Myne spoke while rubbing his chin, not realizing that because of his casual remark, he had already given a critical hit to a certain elf grandma.
"Ohh, you have something to say to me, right? Tell me how I can help you," Myne who was about to go to Aisha and Sylphy to discuss where to find goblins, suddenly remembered the original purpose of coming to Amy, and asked.
"I... I wanted to ask when we're going to take me to the Elf Kingdom," Amy, whose mood had suddenly dropped because she remembered her family and friends, asked in a low voice, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
She didn't like asking other people for help for free, but there was nothing she could do. Currently, because of her special identity, not only was she targeted by a bunch of troublemakers, but even the royal family was continuously staring at her. Without Myne's help, she had no way to go back to her kingdom and take a look.
In the end, she could only comfort herself that she would repay Myne with some treasure of the elf kingdom she had in her storage ring when her work was done.
