Because of certain circumstances, he will end up engaged to Ash. Romance wise, however, not much development there until latest translated novel chapters (320-ish)
Can you tell me where you read the novel please?
Sure here it is:
https://lightnovelstranslations.com/novel/i-got-transferred-in-the-middle-of-a-mountain-in-retaliation-i-chose-amenity-over-strength/
It is a free reading site but they also have paid services for ad-free and advance chapters
Excellent translation site
But very expensive:( - the most expensive one I subscribed to
Thank you soo much (>♡<)/
If this does eventually get romance I hope the MC gets with Ashe!
