Chapter 64: Go with the flow
"Oh, this person has the same last name as my husband?"
Morgan left a message carrying a "death sentence" like that.
"Wait a moment, let me confirm which language the pronunciation of the name 'Mochizuki Ei' belongs to first…"
Seeing that message, Eikou's heart instantly tightened.
This is bad, could it be that they're about to track me down in real life and turn it into a life-or-death battle?!
What should I do, should I activate Disaster With Women and then use Encouragement Dice to forcibly trigger a great failure? Setting aside the probability, is it really necessary to use a life-saving dice in a situation like this?
And if "Disaster With Women" activates successfully, it'll be even more of a disaster!
Fortunately, before he could think too long, Scathach quickly replied first.
Scathach: "I already said, this is just a fake name."
Scathach: "Since this is an online consultation room, we have to protect the identity of the people asking for help. Even if you notice the other party, you shouldn't trace them back to the source — that's the whole meaning of the anonymous area, right?"
It sounds very reasonable, but the 'short name' she chose was already a problem from the start, wasn't it!?
Eikou thought to himself.
Morgan: "You have a point, this time I was careless. (Side note: I should create a separate forum for Fairy Kingdom later, then do whatever I want.)"
"You helped me solve this trouble, so that makes you my distinguished guest. Let me also give you some guidance."
"…in other words, you had a mistaken night with a boy younger than you?"
Morgan asked like that.
A reply from Scathach came quickly.
"No, afterward I found out that this was just a misunderstanding."
"…I can't really go into details about the situation, but I've already learned the whole story from someone else, and nothing actually happened between me and him."
In other words,
Scathach, you finally opened that closet and learned the whole truth, huh?
"Ha…"
Eikou let out a sigh of relief.
Great, so the crisis is finally resolved!
Since Scathach now knows this was just an embarrassing misunderstanding, with her proud and arrogant nature, she definitely won't bring it up ever again.
A dangerous, deadly romantic entanglement was silently defused.
A world where no one got hurt, achieved perfectly!
Scathach: "But he bravely stepped up to take responsibility, so I feel a little reluctant to turn him down?"
"???"
Why did she suddenly become soft-hearted, this isn't like you at all, Scáthach-sensei!
No need to worry about me, just do whatever you want.
Morgan: "Do whatever you want."
Morgan: "If you're human, live the way you want. Don't care about other people's feelings."
That's right, this is the correct answer, there's no need to pay attention to my situation.
Eikou silently agreed in his heart.
Scathach: "Umu, you're absolutely right."
Good, she's been persuaded.
It still takes the Queen of Fairy Kingdom to personally step in — with just a few sentences she helped him settle this battlefield.
Eikou couldn't help but want to clap and cheer for the queen on the other side of the screen.
A new message from Scathach arrived:
"Then I'll live the way I want for once, be a little willful, and date him with marriage as the premise."
"???"
What kind of thinking is this, I totally don't get it!
"I knew it,"
Morgan said,
"The way you phrased your words before clearly showed a calm and wise logic, proving that you're a rational and composed person. But someone like you hesitating, flustered over love, even posting to ask for advice. Based on my judgment, there's only one possibility…"
"You want to break the rules because you like him."
"..."
Scathach stayed silent for a while, then finally replied:
"I don't deny it."
Oh my god, Morgan, why did you casually drop a bomb like that on me?!
Eikou felt a chill run down his spine, hurriedly logged out, and registered another account.
He had to pretend to be an anonymous user to talk her out of it before things got out of control!
[Server overloaded, newly registered accounts must wait 24 hours before posting.]
"Damn it, why is it like this!"
At the same time, Morgan and Scathach were still going back and forth.
"Liking him is normal, because before this I watched one of his videos… I can't really say what it was about, but after watching it I was truly convinced by his courage." — Scathach said.
"So you watched that haunted house video too?"
Eikou almost couldn't keep calm anymore,
"What part of that was courage, it just looked like some idiot who couldn't even tell the difference between Tezcatlipoca and a pretty girl! What on earth in that video moved you girls so much?!"
"After that, that boy in the party used Water of Life to bring me down, he did look quite impressive — in terms of courage and skill, he's a qualified warrior."
"Although because of his personality he's usually pretty passive, when it's time to act, he doesn't hesitate at all. I don't dislike that kind of person."
I'm saying, why do you keep calling me "him", "that boy", are you not planning to use the fake name you just made up at all!?
"I understand how you feel, I had a similar experience with my husband." — Morgan said.
Why are you two bonding over this all of a sudden!
Eikou's hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
This…
This atmosphere isn't "Shurafield" anymore…
It's "married ladies' gossip hour", what on earth are you two Queens doing!
"Dear Ice Witch, here's my advice — if you meet a man who makes your heart race, boldly seize him. Even if you have to use curses, force, or temptation, make him obediently submit. My husband was shy at first, but now he can't live without me. When love knocks on your heart, you must never let it pass, and definitely never let go!"
"To prevent anyone else from taking advantage, even when I'm not with my husband, I assign two of my closest subordinates to guard his chastity and safety, making sure no other woman steals him away. That is my resolve for love."
Aren't those "closest subordinates" the ones about to steal me away!
Just earlier, you personally created a love rival for yourself — practically "national humiliation" level of handing me over to the enemy already!
And those two "closest subordinates" of yours don't protect anything at all, they're secretly digging at your wall behind your back, Morgan! "Entrusting the one you love to your subordinates because of trust" — what kind of tragedy heroine are you playing here!
"Sigh..."
Eikou let out a helpless sigh.
Though he'd felt this before, sometimes Morgan really is quite naive.
She's too lacking in caution toward people around her, so she often gets taken advantage of easily.
"So that's how it is, looks like you and I are the same kind of people. Seems like you also believe in absolute power like I do."
Scathach sent a message:
"I'll make it clear to him later."
"It's just that right now, he's still far from the ideal image of the warrior in my heart, so I plan to slowly train him into the strongest and most perfect warrior. Once he fully meets my expectations, as a reward — I'll give him everything I have."
"It's over!"
This is the kind of hardcore black-hole-level declaration from a domineering older woman! This is clearly heading straight toward the "raise him then love him" trope!
