My Soulmate Is I (Patreon)

Chapter 40: A Visible Beautiful Future

The next day, Laphae arrived, happily embracing my male self (Night(♂)).

Then, the four of us— the three of us, to be exact, since two of us 4 are just me——started our tour of the capital together.

I (Night(♂)), my female self (Yue(♀)), Xue'er, and Laphae. The four of us climbed the Mage Tower, visited the Sword God Palace, and even played with magic balls at the amusement park.

After all, Xue'er was just a child. As she played, she forgot her resentment towards me (Night(♂)) and laughed joyfully.

—But I didn't have much of a smile.

Everything we did was already familiar to me.

For me, the capital was already very familiar. When they suggested exploring the capital, it was just a role play for me since I didn't need to get acquainted; it was all acting, and I wasn't interested at all.

Sighing, at that moment, a building appeared in my (Yue(♀)'s) field of vision.

『Adventurer's Guild』

A bright idea flashed in my mind, and I (Yue) spoke up, "Night, Xue'er, Laphae, how about forming a small team to become adventurers?"

"Adventurers?" Laphae, who was hugging my (Night) right arm, blinked, "Forming a team to be adventurers, isn't that the thing that would be given to us when we are in our third year? We have just graduated from the first grade, there is no need for any rush, right? And besides, isn’t it dangerous?”

"That’s true, but let's experience it in advance. After all, we have plenty of free time now. Moreover, if we gain experience now, it should help us avoid many pitfalls when we reach the third grade, right?"

"Well, that makes sense— Night, what do you think?"

In response to Laphae's question, I (Night(♂)) nodded, "I've done the counter girl's job quite a bit, but I haven't experienced being an adventurer. Also, unlike the Royal Academy, my school doesn't have this kind of holiday assignment, and I probably won't have a chance to be an adventurer in the future. So, trying it out now sounds good."

"Trying it out?" Xue'er looked at me with a sly smile, "I heard that being an adventurer is very dangerous. You might even die."

Is this girl thinking of seizing an opportunity to eliminate me (Night(♂)) during the mission?

Perfect.

I (Night(♂)) glanced at Xue'er with a smile, then raised my hand to hold hands with my other self (Yue(♀)), and while smiling, began to talk, "Yue you're quite strong, right? I heard you're the top talent in the kingdom. Can you stay by my side and protect me?"

Facing such a pathetic statement, I (Yue(♀)) didn't show any disdain. Instead, I returned the hand-holding gesture, looking deeply into my male self (Night) eyes, "Sure, don’t worry, With me around, your safety is guaranteed."

After hearing this answer, I (Night(♂)) proudly looked at Xue'er, who was grinding her teeth in frustration.

—Then, in that instant, a sharp pain surged through my (Night(♂)'s) right arm.

I (Night(♂)) and I (Yue(♀)) both winced in pain together.

I (Yue(♀)) looked down and saw Laphae blinking her eyes while looking at me (Yue(♀)) and giving a cute smile.

I (Night)) looked down as well, and in my (Yue) obscured view, Laphae twisted my (Night) arm skin like a screw.

Is this what girls are like?

The older they get, the more terrifying they become?

Even though it's only been a few months since the last separation, Laphae's growth left me (Night) speechless.

The key point is that even though I (Yue) and Laphae meet every day, I didn't notice her growth at all. How terrifying is that?

If other girls are like Laphae, maybe I shouldn't find a wife in the future?

On this day, I suddenly realized.

Perhaps living with oneself for a lifetime is also a beautiful future.

At least, there would never be worries about marital disputes.

Cheating wouldn't matter at all!
