It took close to two weeks for Erich and Ayumi to return to Teutonia after stepping through the warp gate, which took them from the world of Alfheim to the world of Germania. It was only after the couple were at the doors of their home did they feel relieved.

He had been thinking about how he was going to resolve this issue during every free moment he had up until this point. And there was only one conclusion he could land upon. He would have to accept his fate and agree to Lunaria's demands.

Especially now that she had set her sights upon him. He doubted there was anything in this galaxy more terrifying than that woman when she felt scorned.
