Chapter 23: Transfer
"I told him he would do it in one day," A lady scrutinized Minato's appearance after he had left the gate.
She was no one else other than the lady behind the desk!
Julia's strength was known to the husband's family, but her status was not.
She was actually one of the princesses from the Majestic Ice Kingdom. Her current task was to blend into the Ungrail City's community and keep an eye on Lord Shama.
The reason? The Dungeon Race.
A man replied, "I couldn't see through his women's strength yet one of them nearly died... All of them hide too much. Shouldn't we take proper measures against them? We break the law, Your Highness."
"The Royal Family writes the law. Don't ever ask me this question again," The princess replied to the voice coming from behind.
She didn't pay any attention to one of her people, and her eyes remained on Minato until Yuna took out the tent.
Once Bei and Minato disappeared within, Julia turned around, "I've heard that many similar fluctuations have been reported in the Majestic Ice Kingdom. We don't need more enemies, but good allies.
Minato is still like a raw diamond. His women will take care of them, and we should welcome them to our lands with open arms."
Julia also feared Yuna and Bei because she couldn't see through them.
She also wasn't sure whether she would overcome whatever was in the gate! Bei's wounded appearance had left her terrified.
That was genuinely frightening and left Julia pondering for some time.
She had never harbored evil thoughts for Minato, so it was pretty easy to make a decision.
"Baron Rudy is dead... Let's use his land to show some goodwill to Minato," Julia smiled.
Her acquaintance didn't dare to question her again.
They left the scene to take proper prerequisites in Baron Rudy's lands.

Minato woke up roughly ten hours later.
He was under a few blankets, so it was obviously warm.
That warmth still lost against Bei's hug, which was quite tight.
She held his clothes firmly, her face bumping into his chest.
Bei was looking much better, even though she was still pale. Due to the warmth and probably rare nightmares, Bei perspired too much.
Minato stared at her with half-closed eyes and relief, but sweat trickling down her chin drew his attention. It dropped on her ample chest and slowly slid down into her cleavage.
Those tits were exposed due to Bei's vulgar pajamas.
"Your pajamas lose to you. It's not as vulgar as you," Minato said in a rough voice.
He felt weaker than ever before, but it didn't stop him from hugging Bei. He reciprocated her feelings and shared his relief with her.
Minato gently took her into his arms, but Bei unconsciously wrapped her leg between his and brought herself closer to him.
She was melting into him!
Minato didn't cause any tantrums, nor did he have any strength to do so. He slowly slid her wet hair from her face, then bumped his nose into her hair.
A mix of her fragrance and sweat was unique, and by no means it reminded Minato about his wife.
He felt like sleeping again.
Minato's eyelids promptly closed, and he went for a nap.
In the meantime, Bei's nightmares dispersed. She rarely had those nightmares, which mostly happened after she had gone into a life-threatening situation.
It was not the first time, so Bei fared better.
Alas, she still needed help.
Minato's help cured her weakness, and Bei regained more colors while cuddling with him during her sleep.
An hour later, Minato woke up again.
He slowly sneaked out of Bei's embrace without waking her up.
'It feels so exhausting to move...' He coughed a few times.
Although it looked like a thousand years slipped out of Minato, his member stood quite lively and hot.
That was undoubtedly due to a lady behind him.
He coughed, this time due to a different reason, and left the tent.
Yuna was on guard all this time.
In her arms, Aya slept while drooling!
Minato silently stared at them both, then sat next to his wife.
"I should exercise soon," Minato jested, seeing how deeply Yuna gazed at him.
He knew that his situation had taken a wrong turn, and he was not in the best shape. However, he lived, and so was Bei. Both of them had survived, so they should focus on the future.
Minato believed that some exercises would help him get rid of that heavy feeling, "I've lost some life force, but that shouldn't stop me from returning to the peak and beyond."
"Minato... Thank you..." Yuna suddenly burst out with tears.
Although she had been looking like a veteran soldier on the watch, her heart crumbled the moment Minato had left the tent.
Tears flooded her eyes and tumbled down on her red cheeks.
Minato faintly smiled, "You would've done the same."
He wrapped his arm around her.
Yuna leaned down onto his shoulder and closed her eyes.
Her tears woke up Aya, and the spirit instantly disappeared to Minato's world as the mood was reserved for the couple!
"Look at this magic circle," Minato brought his hand closer to Yuna's face.
It was a golden magic circle with a green luster.
It meant [Transfer] in the eastern language, and Minato probably could transfer more things than just his life force.
He chuckled, "And there's something we have received from the Snake Concubine. We should check it out after Bei wakes up."
"Minmin... Do you know Bei's lifespan? You surely not," Yuna bit her lips, "You have replenished a lot of her life force, but that was not enough... She is a Royal High Spirit, so her lifespan just from birth is more than ten thousand years! That's not something one can casually replenish!
You did it! And that was possible because of your Overlord-" Yuna wanted to shed light on Minato's problem!
However, her husband just kissed her and stopped all talks!
At last, Minato parted his lips and said, "That's unlike you, Yuna. It is our first plight, and we are indeed a little fucked. But is it the first and the last one? I know it might be a bad comparison, but it was also not easy to start a shop. But I had you by my side, and your smile always pushed me forward. No matter what it is, smile... Or I will also eventually crumble."
Yuna felt her heart jumping.
Her husband was a newbie in another world, but it looked completely different! His quick action and resolution to save Bei and his words now left her staring at him.
Soon, the usual smile bloomed on Yuna's face, and she nodded, "I won't disappoint you, Minmin."
"You've never disappointed," Minato chuckled and looked ahead, "I hope we won't see Overlord's Enemies or trails anytime soon... Well, I have something more important to talk about with you, Yuna."
"Yes, Minmin?" Yuna asked, blinking her cute golden eyes.
"It's about Bei... I think she likes me," Minato said with confidence.
