Skadi, My Wife

Author: Fantasy Land Love

Introduction:

"Skadi."

"Hmm?"

"I like you."

"Eh!!!"

"Just kidding."

"..."

The two Miss Skadis angrily picked up their greatswords, deciding to knock the guy who had toyed with their feelings unconscious, drag him back to their room, and show him exactly what it meant to cook the rice until it was done.

Volume One

Chapter 1: Skadi, Skadi

Ursus border.

The cold wind was biting, and the earth shook violently.

A massive, indescribable monster with twisted flesh bared its fangs and brandished its tentacles, tearing through the freezing snow as it lunged downward.

Moving as if in a dance, Skadi nimbly dodged the monster's attack. Just as she prepared to raise her greatsword to launch a counterattack, she was stunned to find the enemy shredded to pieces by a sudden flash of sword light.

Stepping across the blood-stained earth, a man with black hair and black eyes emerged from the snow as if taking a leisurely stroll. He discarded the weapon in his hand, which was slowly fading away, raised a hand toward her, and asked in a friendly tone:

"Miss, could you trouble yourself to tell me where this place is?"

Several years later, Lungmen.

Outside the dormitory, Chen An crossed his arms and gazed at the sky, beginning his daily contemplation of life.

Nothing special had happened; he had just taken a nap to slack off. Why, then, had he transmigrated to this strange world called Terra?

That aside.

Why, after accepting reality and wanting nothing more than to travel the world and see new sights, had he gotten tangled up in so much trouble in just a few short years?

Talulah, Alina, FrostNova, Nian, Dusk...

At the mere thought of these names, Chen An felt the trouble was endless and his life hopeless, and he couldn't help but let out a loud sigh.

"Sigh~!"

After reflecting on his unbearable life over the past few years, the more he thought about it, the more depressed and tragic he felt. Chen An couldn't help but sigh again.

Walking out of the leisurely dormitory, Exusiai was taken aback to see Chen An, who was usually an optimist and just as carefree as she was, sighing in the hallway.

She curiously leaned toward Chen An and nudged him with her arm: "What's wrong, sighing like that? Did Skadi dump you? Heartbroken?"

Chen An glared at her irritably: "How many times do I have to say it? Skadi and I are just friends, friends!"

Exusiai curled her lip: "Who are you kidding? I saw her kiss you last time."

What did it mean to touch a sore spot? Exusiai was doing exactly that!

Chen An was furious: "Kiss my foot! That was an apology, an apology, understand?"

Exusiai chuckled.

A kiss as an apology? Who would believe that? She certainly didn't. If that were true, they had been neighbors for half a year, so why had she only ever seen Skadi kiss Chen An?

Were she, Texas, Sora, and Croissant—these beautiful girls—not appealing enough? Why was Skadi never interested in them, never wanting to get close?

A kiss as an apology; Chen An didn't really believe it either, because in all the years since he first met Skadi after transmigrating, she had only ever kissed him.

As for others, let alone people, he had never even seen her kiss the weapon she used to carry around with her.

Feeling that this topic wasn't going anywhere good, Chen An decisively changed the subject: "Where's Texas? Did she go buy snacks for you again?"

"As if I could order her around, that cold Lupo."

At the mention of this, Exusiai couldn't help but grumble: "We've been partners for so long, and she's still so indifferent to me. If this keeps up, I really worry for her future partner; it's bound to be exhausting."

Chen An nodded in deep agreement.

That was true. With how much she talked, if Exusiai ever had a partner, that person would definitely have a hard time.

Suddenly feeling a bit uneasy, Exusiai stopped complaining and looked suspiciously from side to side. Seeing no suspicious figures, she muttered "how strange" and tossed the unease to the back of her mind without a care.

She said breezily: "You look like you've got plenty of time. We didn't finish the game we were playing last time, so let's try to finish it in one go this time."

Without giving Chen An a chance to refuse, Exusiai dragged him into the dormitory she shared with Texas.

Exusiai, energetic, lively, and quick to make friends, was someone who could find a way to entertain herself in any situation.

In contrast to her, her roommate Texas was cold and reticent. Even after becoming familiar with someone, she rarely had much to say, and she was the type of person who seldom held strong opinions on anything.

In short, she was a person with a very laid-back attitude toward life.

The two were friends, companions, and roommates, but aside from both being women, they had almost nothing in common.

If one had to point out similarities, it would be that they both worked at Penguin Logistics and both enjoyed wearing pantyhose and dressing in a rather avant-garde style.

Texas was in the dormitory.

Earlier, when Exusiai was preparing to head out, she had stayed in her own room.

But now, she was in the living room, leaning against the sofa and playing on her phone.

Since she was at home and had no plans to go out, Texas was dressed in very casual, light attire.

She wore a thin cotton nightdress. Her posture was fine, but because she was off-guard in her own home, the nightdress was somewhat disheveled, revealing her snow-white thighs and the faint, sexy lace edge of her black underwear.

The moment Exusiai pulled him into the dormitory and into the living room, Chen An was stunned by such an eye-catching sight.

Exusiai, who was always carefree, was left dumbfounded.

"Texas, you..."

Deeply engrossed in her phone, Texas hadn't noticed the extra people at first. It wasn't until Exusiai let out a hesitant, squeaky sound that she suddenly realized two people were standing nearby.

Even then, she didn't realize there was an issue with her appearance. It wasn't until Chen An kindly hinted that she was exposing a bit too much that she realized the problem in shock.

Sitting up from the sofa in a hurry, Texas smoothed out her clothes nonchalantly while casting a sharp, gloomy gaze at Chen An.

Chen An felt a bit uneasy under her stare, but he didn't falter, simply looking back at her with an innocent expression.

After staring at Chen An for a few seconds and seeing no reaction from him, Texas couldn't help but narrow her eyes and huff.

She didn't make a scene or hold a grudge; instead, she grabbed her phone, glared at Exusiai, and retreated to her room on her own.

Of course, this didn't mean the matter was over. Texas just felt that she could settle the score later—referring to Exusiai.

As for Chen An?

Texas didn't intend to settle any scores with him. After all, he probably hadn't done it on purpose... well, that wasn't the point, but even if it wasn't on purpose, seeing it meant seeing it.

The main reason she didn't intend to make an issue of it was that she and Chen An had a good relationship. Not only had Chen An helped her back when she was down on her luck years ago, but the care she had received over the past six months was enough to keep her from making a fuss over this—after all, one is always softer toward those who provide for them.

Bang—

The second Texas returned to her room and closed the door, Exusiai, who had been holding her breath and trying to minimize her presence, let out a long sigh of relief.

She had almost thought she was done for, but thankfully, she wasn't. Phew, that was close.

Patting her chest in relief, Exusiai carelessly pushed the matter to the back of her mind and pulled Chen An over to start playing games.

As for the unfriendly look Texas had left her before returning to her room...

Oh well!

Future troubles could be dealt with in the future; for now, playing games and making herself happy was more important.

Two hours later.

Following an exasperated shout of "If I ever play a versus game with you again, I'm an idiot!", Exusiai angrily kicked Chen An out of the house.

Then, with a bang, she slammed the dormitory door shut again.

Standing at the doorway, Chen An looked completely innocent.

It was just thirty consecutive wins in a fighting game; was such a big reaction necessary?

Besides, they had known each other for so long; surely she knew what his skill level was by now?

She clearly knew that she was no match for him in versus games, yet every time they played together, she insisted on versus mode, and she wouldn't let him go easy on her. Who could she blame for being so frustrated she questioned her own existence?

Exusiai herself, of course!

Chen An found the "bad but loves to play" Exusiai truly incomprehensible, though he couldn't be bothered to reason with her.

After all, in the six months since he had become her neighbor, he had long since grown accustomed to this. Aside from the beginning when they weren't very close and she would restrain her temper, she had acted this way every time they played games together.

"Texas is still cuter."

Unable to help himself, Chen An sighed and turned to head back to his own place.

Just like the dormitory shared by Exusiai and Texas, Chen An lived in a double room, and even the decor and facilities were nearly identical.

However, there was one difference: his roommate was not of the same gender, but a young woman named Skadi.

Similar to Texas, Skadi had a somewhat cold personality.

But that was just a facade and a disguise. In reality, Skadi was not cold or distant; on the contrary, she was exceptionally eager for companionship and to escape her loneliness. It was only because of various factors that she felt those who got close to her would never have a good ending, and she didn't want others to get hurt, so she maintained that unapproachable appearance.

If you gained her approval and grew close, you would find that the seemingly cold woman was actually gentle, docile, and a bit clingy. And because she was used to solving problems with force, she sometimes appeared dazed, which was exceptionally cute.

The reason such a Skadi could live with Chen An was, of course, because she had approved of him.

As for how she had come to approve of him... that was a matter of fate.

When Chen An first transmigrated into this world, he encountered Skadi.

At that time, Skadi was fighting a monster—a true monster.

Not only was that creature an eyesore, but it was also raving and mindless. Because they happened to cross paths and the monster blindly mistook him for an enemy, Chen An sent it away with a casual swing of his sword.

Skadi recognized his strength because of this, and her attitude toward him became friendly from the start.

Chen An was naturally a gregarious person. Thinking that he was a newcomer in an unfamiliar place, having a guide who knew the environment was the best possible choice. After chatting with Skadi for a bit and finding her to be a good person, he became her companion, and they traveled together.

Back then, Chen An had intended to travel with Skadi for a while, and once he understood this world, he would kick her to the curb and continue his journey as a cold, heartless, and solitary outsider.

Yet, he never expected that the taciturn Skadi would become exceptionally clingy once they grew close, and she simply did not want to part with him.

Over these past few years, Chen An had separated from her three times.

The first time was when he left her with a friend named Talulah.

Talulah's abilities were quite impressive, and she had some powerful companions by her side, enough for Skadi to acknowledge and feel at ease. That was what Chen An thought, so after parting ways with Talulah, he left Skadi behind as well.

As it turned out, he hadn't been gone for long before Skadi caught up to him, and she refused to leave no matter what.

The second separation was an accident.

Chen An had an easygoing personality and didn't like to resort to violence. Whenever he encountered trouble, he would always try to talk his way out of it first. If he could talk his way through, everyone would be happy; if he couldn't, he would run away. In any case, he avoided fighting whenever possible.

He was a peace-loving person, after all.

However, Skadi was different. She was a Bounty Hunter who made a living by taking on bounty missions. Her missions were basically all about fighting and killing, with few exceptions, or going somewhere to cause destruction. In short, she was all about charging in headfirst.

Skadi was used to such a life, but Chen An felt nothing for it.

Without letting his own feelings influence Skadi's life, Chen An and Skadi lived a life of adventure together.

That was until an accident occurred during a mission, causing Skadi and Chen An to get separated.
