539,

All the changes happened after being rejected by Yuna.

Cyclone realized a truth: the so-called protagonist aura only exists within stories.

The notion that the female lead will inevitably fall in love with the male lead is nothing but an illusory dream in reality.

Not only Cyclone has the choice, but Yuna also has the power to choose.

From Cyclone's perspective, he is the protagonist. However, from others' perspective, they are also protagonists.

It was because Cyclone forgot this simple truth that he ended up in such a situation.

It's really not a big deal for a woman to be with someone else.

Therefore, Cyclone has never blamed Yuna, just that he didn't meet Yuna early enough.

In the story of Riverbranch, Cyclone was just a passerby.

At that time, facing the lecherous priest and lustful nun, Cyclone was at a loss simply because he had not yet grasped this principle.

The lecherous priest and lustful nun, to some extent, they are the protagonists, while Cyclone is just a passerby.

Why should Cyclone intervene? And why should he stop the nun?

There is no reason, the nun enjoys being pursued, and the priest enjoys pursuing her, everything is consensual.

Even now, Cyclone still remembers this principle.

Just like the current self and Hilmirya, there is essentially no difference in what they do.

It's just that this time, he is the male lead and Hilmirya is the female lead.

What has Cyclone experienced to have such thoughts? Cabellus may spend a lifetime trying to figure it out.

After all, Cabellus has already concluded that Cyclone is afraid of nymphomaniacs, scared of lewd things, but pretends to be lascivious at other times.

Cyclone could never have imagined such naive subjective views would soon be corrected by his own wives at home.

But for now, Cyclone remains with one thought.

"Who knows? But at least the princess didn't come looking for me."

Seeing Cyclone's response, Cabellus had no doubts.

"Good then~ after all, many people are looking for the princess."

"Is that so..."

Cyclone and Cabellus had arrived at the front of the store, the door was already closed, and a sign saying "Closed" was hung up.

This was unusual, but Cyclone didn't notice it as he was thinking about how to respond to Cabellus, and so he opened the door.

Intending to let Cabellus, who was following him, in, but suddenly Cabellus spoke.

"Speaking of which, when the Great Dragon Festival reaches the quarterfinals, kings from various countries will attend, and the Dusk King will come here~"

As Cabellus said this, Cyclone was instantly dumbfounded.

Because Cyclone stopped abruptly, and Cabellus ran straight into him.

"What...?"

This collision allowed Cabellus to see the scene inside the store.

"So many clothes have arrived?"

"Yes~ thank you for your trouble..."

"How did you get down here?"

"The store is closed, what are you afraid of~ Oh!? Can I use this big item? My belly has been getting bigger lately…"

With her golden hair, Elyse stands before Cyclone and Cabellus.

Despite her large belly, Elyse's appearance is still that of an unparalleled beauty.

However, what's most terrifying is the sudden appearance of a chest omen that Cyclone never expected as Elyse's already large breasts tremble.

Watching the group of beauties in front of him, Cabellus swallows hard.

"Cyclone, my friend… Are you keeping something from me?"

Cyclone takes a step back, forcing Cabellus behind him to also step back.

As Cyclone and Cabellus both step outside the door, Cyclone closes it.

"No~ I'm not keeping anything from you~"

"Then what about that group of women just now?!"

"Are you… seeing things?"

"Oh?! So that's it!"

Cabellus nods, now thinking he must have been seeing things.

How could there be so many beautiful women at Cyclone's house?

"It looks like we chatted for too long…"

Just as Cabellus is about to turn and leave, he suddenly does a 360-degree turn and rushes back into the trading post.

"Dammit!! You little punk~ did you really think I was going to fall for it?!"
