Cheat Awakening-Chapter 641. The Trouble Trio Sets Out!
"Hey, Waffle! Waffle! Wake up!"
"I told you it's his sleeping time. He won't wake up so easily," Ted replied helplessly.
"He will. You just wait and see," Ocea insisted, and gave Ted a glare, making him lower his head with a sigh. Then, she slapped Waffle's head continuously with her tail.
"Wake up, wake up, wake up!"
"STOP!!!" Waffle jolted awake, his eyes bloodshot. Irritated to the point of not being able to hold on any longer, he yelled at Ocea, who happily circled around him. "What do you want?"
"Nothing serious... Do you wanna go somewhere and play?" Ocea asked cheerfully, not taking Waffle's murderous glare seriously at all.
"What!? You woke me up from my sweet dream just for this?" Waffle looked at Ocea dumbfounded, as if she were an idiot, then turned his head to Ted, asking if he had heard her wrong.
"I told her, but she was too stubborn and didn't listen to me at all. She insisted on going outside to play. She said she wanted to go on an adventure."
Seeing Waffle's confused expression, Ted explained helplessly. Although most people, including Myne, couldn't understand Ted and his family's language, Waffle and Ocea, being divine beasts, had a natural universal translator installed in them. This allowed them to communicate with almost any creature that had basic speech abilities.
"Hey, don't ignore me! And Waffle, you promised me that you'd take me to play, so stop making that grim expression and let's go on an adventure!" Ocea floated between them, pouting.
"FINE! Sigh… Where do you want to go play?"
Knowing that he could say goodbye to his sweet sleep, Waffle yawned sleepily and asked as he jumped down from Myne's bed.
"Obviously, on a legendary adventure! Full of action and thrill! And a little bit of horror if possible. I'm quite interested in ghosts and spirits. Myne said they're really scary and that I should stay as far away as possible," Ocea spoke excitedly, clearly showing the universal sign of a big troublemaker.
"Since Myne warned you, why the hell do you still want to see them?" Waffle complained in a low voice before moving his face close to Ted, who was walking beside him, and continued,
"I told you Myne is going to ruin her. See? I was right! Just three days! It only took him three days to turn an honest and innocent girl into a big troublemaker like himself—restless and unable to stay still."
"And that too just by telling her bedtime stories. We also listened to them, but they never had such a big effect on us. Maybe she's special... or just a natural troublemaker." Ted looked at Ocea, who was floating in front of them, speaking with a hint of amazement in his voice.
"By the way, what does this 'legendary adventure' mean? Just how legendary do you want it to be?" Ted, curious about Ocea's inner thoughts, asked.
"Well, it should be exciting, mysterious, and, if possible, somewhere not too far from home. Otherwise, Brother Myne would be worried about us. And I also promised him that I'd keep a close eye on you two so you wouldn't cause problems."
Ocea pondered for a bit before replying thoughtfully, making Waffle and Ted's mouths twist.
"If that's the case, then let's go talk to Myne. Maybe he knows a place where we could go for an adventure."
Waffle spoke and walked toward the backyard, where screams and cursing could be heard.
"Hello, everyone! Where is the mysterious trio going? And Waffle, what happened to you? How did you forget your afternoon nap today? That's quite new." Discover more stories at novelbuddy
As the trio headed toward the backyard, Sylphy happened to come inside and greeted them with a smile. Of course, she didn't forget to tease the biggest sleeper in their family, who seemed to take after her mother and liked to sleep all day long.
Except for eating and playing at his fixed schedule, most of Waffle's day was spent sleeping. Unless there was something special, like an outing, it was rare for others to see him awake.
"Ocea said she wanted to play. A few days ago, I accidentally promised her I'd take her on an adventure, and now I'm regretting it a lot. So we're going to Myne to ask for his advice—to see if there's anywhere I can take her for fun. Otherwise, how can I miss my beauty sleep?"
Waffle, who had a very good relationship with Sylphy—second only to Aisha, who had taken the limelight despite her strict personality and habit of giving everyone family-friendly love fists, thanks to her godly cooking—quickly explained in a tone full of complaints. Clearly, he was not the slightest bit interested in this adventure.
"It is really hard for you, but as a big brother, you have to deal with it. I also have a younger brother and sister, so I can understand your pain, Waffle. By the way, take care of them, and don't go too far. You know it's not safe out there, all right?"
Since Sylphy couldn't directly communicate with Ocea and Ted, she could only speak with Waffle. After praising him and cheering him up, she gave the trio a light pat on their heads and walked toward her bedroom to take a shower.
"Sister Sylphy is so nice," Ocea, who overheard Waffle and Sylphy's conversation by forcefully connecting herself to Waffle through telepathy, said softly.
"Yes, she is my favourite. She not only gives me extra snacks but also tells all kinds of prince and princess stories. Compared to Myne, who only knows how to scare me, her stories are the real deal," Ted responded lightly while nodding his head.
"Wait, but don't you always say that Aisha is your favourite? And she also likes you the most. When did Sylphy become your number one?" Waffle, hearing Ted's words, gave him a speechless look and asked doubtfully.
"Cough, cough, don't mention it. It's a long story—you wouldn't understand. Let's go! Don't we have an adventure to go on? If we waste time talking, it'll be too late to go out."
Realizing he had let something slip and fearing that Waffle might live up to his reputation and spill the beans in front of Aisha someday, ruining his carefully crafted image as a cute, hardworking, and innocent lovely dog before her, Ted hurriedly changed the topic and rushed out of the house.
"This bastard..." Waffle, seeing Ted shamelessly running away, cursed with the only bad word he had secretly learned from Myne and the others. He followed him, with Ocea tagging along, confused about Ted's sudden strange behaviour.
"Enough, June! Haven't I already apologized a dozen times? What else do you want? It was just a joke! Please calm down now..."
As the trio walked out of the house, they saw Myne skillfully flying five meters above the ground, his arms spread out for balance as he floated left and right. On the ground, June stood with dishevelled hair and clothes, her eyes wet with anger, as she shot high-pressure wind magic bullets at Myne like a mad woman.
"Joke, my ass, bastard! I almost fell from the sky! Just two inches! My face was two inches away from the ground! If you had delayed for even a second, I would have broken my neck! Does this kind of dangerous thing seem like a joke to you?!" June didn't buy Myne's excuse and continued shooting wind bullets at him, determined to make his body behave.

"But didn't I catch you? Also, I cast three layers of protection on you. Forget about a height of ten meters—even if you fell from fifty, not a single hair on your head would be damaged, let alone breaking your neck."
Myne lied without blinking, and with his superb Liar skill, June, who had been determined to teach him a lesson, started showing signs of giving in.
"Really? You aren't fooling me, right?" She asked doubtfully while wiping her tears.
"Does my love seem like a joke to you? How could I even think of harming you? Believe me, what I said is 1000% true—it was really just a prank."
Seeing that he had managed to fool June, Myne slowly landed in front of her, hugged her, and explained softly. After saying a few more comforting words, he sent her inside to take a shower.
"Phew, that was close. I shouldn't play this kind of prank before learning how to fly properly—I almost seriously injured her..." Myne wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered before turning toward the trio, who were watching him with doubtful gazes.
"Do the three of you need something? How do you even have time to come to me at this hour—and that too, together? Waffle, aren't you going to take your beauty sleep today?"
Hearing Myne's question, Waffle wanted to complain a bit to vent his inner frustration, but Ocea, who felt like she was becoming a background character and didn't want to remain passive, hurriedly interrupted him and spoke excitedly.
