After some time to readjust in his room, Mika felt his usual self returning. After all, he was a seasoned traveler between worlds.

In the evening, summoned by Ayu, he emerged from his room and joined Yahweh for dinner, seeing her in her true form for the first time in a while.

"Ugh, I don't want to be back!" Yahweh complained, savoring the meal Ayu had prepared.

"I haven't had enough fun in that other world yet." As the designated "support" member, she always found herself burdened with tedious tasks in each new world.

Though, she didn't particularly mind.

"We've been in that world long enough. Any longer, and we would have struggled to readjust," Mika countered.

"While life as Emperor was a novel experience, it eventually became tedious."

"The only reason we stayed so long was the abundance of forging knowledge to learn and apply."

"Otherwise, with our near-invincible status in that world, why would we stay for so long?"

"After all, Airmid, Mellie, and I have all reached the limits of our Falna at our current levels."

Airmid and Mellie nodded in agreement.

After years of training in the other world, they had reached the peak of their potential at their current levels.

Mika was at the Level 5 limit.

Airmid and Mellie were both at the Level 4 limit.

What they lacked now was a great achievement to trigger their level ups.

Mika had already decided: Zald and Alfia would be their stepping stones.

"Alfia, I won't be so easily defeated this time," he thought, recalling his previous encounter with her.

...

After dinner, Mika enjoyed a relaxing bath and returned to his room.

"Ah, no matter how many times I travel, nothing beats my own bed," he sighed contentedly, stretching out on the familiar mattress.

But his moment of peace didn't last.

After a while, his door creaked open, and Mellie slipped inside.

Seeing that he had noticed her, she placed a finger to her lips. "Shh! Don't let Airmid hear."

Mika tilted his head, puzzled.

Mellie climbed into his bed and snuggled against him. "Your bed is so small, it can only fit two people."

"So I let Airmid take a bath first. Then, while she was relaxing in her room, I snuck over here."

"Now she won't know a thing!"

"Is that so? What a cunning plan, Mellie!" Airmid's voice echoed from the doorway, startling them. She stood there, her expression unreadable, her gaze fixed on Mellie.

Mellie could feel the weight of her stare. She burrowed deeper into Mika's embrace, hiding her face against his chest.

But Airmid's frown only deepened.

"You sly fox, Mellie."

"If I hadn't noticed your little scheme, I wouldn't have known about your earlier...activities." A blush crept across Airmid's face as she climbed onto the bed and reached out to pinch Mellie's cheeks.
