"Rudeus, are you worried about something recently?"
In the laboratory, Nanahoshi asked inexplicably
What are you worried about? Hmm...
"It's not really a worry."
"Then it must be trouble, tell me~"
The cooperation with Nanahoshi has been started for more than two months, and before we knew it, the two of us could already be called "best friends".
During the experiment, we always talk about topics from the past life, and we can feel that Nanahoshi has a deep obsession with going back.
"Come and listen, why are you silent?"
"So having said that, it's not a worry... Let me ask you something first."
"Well, you ask"
"How do you think you would feel if your boyfriend fell in love with another woman after falling in love with you, and he wanted both of you to be his wife?"
"If we break up, of course we must first call him a scumbag and then break up with him."
Right... this is the concept that modern people should have...
Unknowingly, I had the thought that "Even if I have two wives, it's nothing."
"Rudeus, do you want to have two wives in this world?"
"Maybe"
"I'll kill you? Sylphiette is such a good girl and you're not satisfied yet? She always comes to the laboratory to give us food no matter what happens. If you make her sad and I can't eat the food she made, I won't forgive you."
"Yeah... but I think... I don't want either of the girls to be sad."
Nanahoshi put down the drawing in his hand and finally raised his head and looked at me
Her eyes were a little shocked, and she looked at me for a while before speaking.
"Are you serious? Do you still have a woman you like?"
I mean, it turns out you don't believe what I said before...
I nodded
"Hmm"
Nanahoshi was silent for a while, and then spoke after thinking for a while.
"There may be some problems with what I said before. Let me correct it."
"Huh? You say"
"Rudeus, you are different from me. You have lived in this world for 17 years, right? Your growth in this world is real, so you don't actually need to care about the rules of your previous life. You are a person living in this world."
"Ha... you obviously said you wanted to kill me before?"
"Yes, but I thought about it, Rudeus you are a person who can't go back, why should you be bound by the rules of your previous life? Besides, isn't a harem a man's dream? You can easily realize it in this world."
"Maybe so"
Don't you have to be bound by the views of your past life?...
Nanahoshi After placing the magic circle, I poured magic into it again
"So, actually sometimes I envy you."
"Huh?"
"You were born into this world, with a destination, a family, and a loved one, but I came into this world like a transparent person, with no memory and no one cares."
When Nanahoshi said that, the teleportation experiment was still going on.
Her expression was so bland that I didn't know what to say in response.
If she was reincarnated instead of being transported directly, maybe her desire to go back wouldn't be so strong.
"Of course I don't mean to be miserable when I say this. I just want to say that if you think your choice can make you happy, then do it."
"Really... thank you, are you going to drink tonight?"
"Okay, your treat"
"Of course, don't get too drunk"
"Don't worry, you still don't understand me? Come on, pour all the magic power you have into the last two magic circles!"
"Oh!"
Nanahoshi's wine is still not that good
"Rudeus, let me ask you!"
"Huh?"
"How old were you when you died in your previous life?"
Maybe because she was drunk, she spoke carelessly and didn't seem to care about my feelings.
"I'm 24 years old, I kind of forgot about it, but it was just after I graduated from college."
"Wow~ That's really miserable for you. Life has just begun."
"Really? It should have just started..."
Nanahoshi said nothing and just pushed the wine in front of me
"Drink!"
I will drink the wine in front of me in one gulp
"What about you? How old were you when you were reincarnated?"
"16! 16 years old! My life hasn't even begun yet!"
"That's right, we are very similar."
In fact, I can almost guess her age. After all, she said that her body stopped growing after she came to this world. So based on her appearance, there is a high probability that she will not be more than 20 years old.
A 16-year-old girl came to a strange world with no friends, no family, or even anyone she knew. When she first came here, she might not even be able to communicate with each other.
What kind of loneliness should she endure?
"No! It's not like that at all! Rudeus You must have been the kind of person that many girls liked in your previous life."
"Huh? Why?"
"It's a feeling... that's true for you now, isn't it? You're already considering marrying two women!"
Nanahoshi, like an uncle, slapped the wine glass on the table and said loudly
"I feel ashamed to say that I never fell in love in my previous life."
"Oh? Why? Is it because of your appearance? Or because of your family background?"
"Appearance... ordinary appearance, family background is that of an ordinary family"
"Hmm? Then how come no girls like it? I think your personality is okay."
Nanahoshi said this, and stretched out his hand to pat my back vigorously, more like an uncle.
"Environmental issues, in my country... No, it should be in my circle. Likes are not easily expressed, so I don't know who will like me. At the same time, I have never liked anyone."
"So you are more reserved than Japan?"
"It's just an environmental issue. If you go to a messy school, the schoolgirls who give you money will flock to you."
"What, aren't they all the same! Hahahaha"
After paying the bill, I once again carried the drunk Nanahoshi back home.
When I got home, I was still greeted by the gentle Sylphie
Maybe it was because it was too late this time, even Aisha went to bed
"Why are you drinking again?"
"Talk to Nanahoshi... once upon a time"
"How's it going? Are you happy?"
"Hmm"
"That's no problem"
Sylphie After patting the snow off my body, I was going to make hangover soup.
At this time, Nanahoshi behind me started to squirm a little dishonestly.
She raised her head and suddenly said
"Sylphie! Congratulations... you are getting married so soon..."
As if she was talking in her sleep, she fell asleep again after speaking.
Sylphie and I were left looking at each other awkwardly for a while.
"Pfft... Miss Nanahoshi looks so cute when she's drunk."
"If possible, I wish she could be quieter"
After moving Nanahoshi to the guest room and settling it in, I returned to the living room
At this time, Sylphie also brought the soup over
"Thank you"
"No need to thank you"
I was holding the soup and I didn't know what to say.
In the first two weeks, I received a letter from Eris, Eris supports my choice
But to be honest, I don't know how to express my feelings to Sylphie
"How's it going? Does it taste good?"
"Delicious"
Just content with the status quo, greedily enjoying the tenderness of Sylphie
Is it really okay to enjoy the tenderness of Sylphie without any responsibility?
"By the way Rudeus, there is a letter written to you today"
"Huh? Whose?"
"I didn't watch it, so I don't know."
I took the letter and opened it
[To Rudeus
I found information about Zenith but I need to conquer the maze. The progress is too slow now. Come to Maze City and help me. I'm waiting for you at the Adventurer Guild there.
Paul. Greyrat]
So short, so short that I can feel Paul's impatience
Labyrinth City... is a bit far away, and I have no experience in conquering labyrinths.
"Rudeus? What's wrong?"
"Ah... it's nothing. Tomorrow... let's talk about it together when everyone gets up tomorrow."
"Is it such an important thing?"
"Yeah..."
Are you content with the status quo...?
