Four Split Personalities

Double Leaf rolled her eyes and irritably pushed her glasses up her nose, "Why do you have to stick your nose in my business? My nearsightedness is beyond saving, okay?"

"Haha, well, it’s always good to take extra care."

Motan didn’t get angry; he simply adjusted the desk corner’s Magic Crystal Lamp to cover the pages of the tomes near Double Leaf as much as possible, while warmly saying, "Moreover, I noticed you’re wearing plain lenses; your eyesight may not yet be beyond saving."

"You really are quite the gossip."

Double Leaf scrunched her nose, switched to a more modest sitting posture (she had been squatting on the sofa), and gave Motan a fierce look, "Go to your bathroom, don’t disturb my study."

"Alright, alright~"

Having finally adjusted the Magic Crystal Lamp’s angle, Motan chuckled, stood up straight, and walked slowly toward the washroom on the left side of the hall, then locked the door, spread his legs, took a bottle of Qingshui from his bag, removed the wooden plug, and started pouring it into the toilet, which had a similarly ingenious design as a modern toilet, akin to the Realm of Innocence’s style.

After all, he couldn’t actually use the bathroom in the game, even though the Game Cabin was waterproof.

Given the strong soundproofing of the No. 0 Suite, rather than thinking Motan deliberately wanted Double Leaf to hear the sound of the water trickling, it was more accurate to say he was simply amusing himself.

In short, after nearly two minutes of self-amusement, Motan finally completed the entirely meaningless ’bathroom’ activity, then calmly stowed the empty bottle back in his bag, washed his hands at the rather ornate nearby basin, and returned to the hall.

"It’s getting late. You’ve been outside all day, remember to balance work and rest."

Motan lightly smiled and advised Double Leaf, who didn’t even bother to respond, then walked to the small bar close to the kitchen on the other side of the hall and casually asked, "Do you like coffee? I recall the beans here are pretty good."

Double Leaf snorted, while quickly jotting something down on the parchment before her with a feather pen, coldly saying, "First you tell people to balance work and rest, then you ask if they want a drink that’s the antithesis of sleep. You’ve got issues."

"Because the likelihood of you obediently following advice is quite low."

Seeing Double Leaf didn’t directly decline, Motan skillfully brewed the coffee, swiftly receiving two excellent-quality consumables [Green Marquis].

Taking down a pair of exquisitely crafted spoons from the shelf, Motan glanced back at Double Leaf, "Would you like a bit more sweetness?"

"Yes."

The petite girl succinctly replied.

"Alright then."

Motan gave a slight smile and added a few sugar cubes to Double Leaf’s cup, then carried the two cups to the girl, setting one cup down before her, "Enjoy~"

"Give me the other cup; just put it there, thanks."

The girl, while manipulating invisible magic threads to quickly turn pages, casually remarked.

"Uh, actually I don’t really prefer sweet flavors, but... alright."

Motan reluctantly switched the coffee he prepared for himself with Double Leaf’s, grimacing slightly as he took a sip of Frank Hughes’s overly sweet special blend, "Do you suppose I’d poison you?"

"Who knows? Even if you don’t, it’s always wise to be cautious."

Double Leaf’s lips curled slightly, playfully glancing at Motan, "After all, I’m so cute, and Diana’s asleep. What if you want to knock me out and get handsy?"

[Even if I jumped from this twenty-meter tall building, there’s no way I’d get handsy with you, a four-eyed bean sprout with nothing going for you.]

Motan mentally retorted, somewhat awkwardly touching the tip of his nose, "You’re overthinking it, Miss Futaba."

"Just joking, but with such poor humor, I wonder how you managed to court Diana... though, I guess chasing her doesn’t really require humor."

Double Leaf muttered a long string under her breath, then clapped her hands earnestly, concluding, "Scumbag!"

"I’m not too sure about the humor."

Motan chuckled ruefully and shrugged, "But regarding imagination, surely Miss Futaba you have me beat."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Double Leaf lazily slouched on the couch, grabbing a copy of "Introduction to Primary Stage Magic: Structural Summary and Elemental Ratios②," casually flipping through and inquiring, "So, dear Frank Hughes of Diana, what nefarious deeds are you planning to do so late at night?"

"Heading out."

Motan gave a straightforward response, sounding a bit resigned, "I actually intended to go out during the day, but didn’t expect Miss Leiman to come by, and since her family is quite close with Kenneth, I couldn’t just leave her hanging. So I got delayed."

Double Leaf’s eyes, hidden behind the pages, narrowed slightly, "Oh? So what are you planning to do?"

"Go buy a gift for Diana."

Motan sheepishly touched his pocket, awkwardly saying, "As you know, I seldom have the chance to buy anything for Diana while we’re together, although she mostly cares for me. There’s a considerable gap in our financial situations, but always having her treat me, even just using connections... I can’t help..."

"Simply put, you don’t want to be a kept man?"

Double Leaf curled her lip, laughing dryly, "Give it up. If you truly manage to be with Diana for a lifetime, trust me, being labeled a kept man will stick with you forever, scumbag!"

Motan, however, laughed freely, "It’s all good, I don’t care how others see it. I just want to do what I can within my means."

"Oh, so what do you want to buy her?"

Double Leaf lazily glanced at Motan, and very disinterestedly said, "Well, that I must keep secret."

Motan shrugged then proceeded toward the entrance hall, "It’s not something fancy; if the element of surprise is lost, then it won’t be much of a gift."

"Guess you have some self-awareness. Having said that, are there really stores open this late?"

"The items are from a store called Quirky and a Wealth Church shop, both of which are open 24 hours."

"Alright, go quietly when you leave so you don’t wake Diana and ruin the plan and end up blaming me."

"It should be fine. I just added a pinch of Calming Flower powder to the aroma, so she should sleep well. "

"Wow! You’re truly devious and shameless!"

"Can’t be helped; Diana sleeps lightly, and she’s been so busy these days. I feel she’s not resting enough."

"Alright, alright, go do what you’re going to do, remember to take your keycard; I’m not going to bother letting you in."

"Alright then, see you later, Miss Futaba."

"Off you go already."

...

One minute later

Wearing thin, light-colored pajamas, with two smooth long legs exposed without hesitation, Diana A. Achizolti appeared in front of Double Leaf, face slightly red, muttering, "Ugh... surprises... Frank... surprises are really just..."

"Really something you want, right?"

Double Leaf sighed, a bit helplessly glancing at this half-mentor before her, "But Diana, you actually heard everything?"

"Ah... I... I didn’t really mean to..."

Not yet thirty, Diana seemed like a shy girl, her face flushed like a tomato as she waved her hand, hesitatingly explaining, "It’s just that I sleep lightly and I’m a bit sensitive to Frank’s scent and temperature, so I accidentally woke up... He won’t be mad at me, right? Even though he deliberately prepared Calming Flower powder, boo!"

Inexplicably, the lovestruck Grand Astrologist let out a small cry, sulking and looking as pitiful as possible before squatting down to throw a tantrum at herself.

"I say, Diana..."

"Ah! Yes!"

"You’re really silly."

"Eh?"

"Honestly, if you keep it this way, it could really, really, really be dangerous unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless he really does like you as much as I’ve felt."

"?"

"It’s nothing! Go back to your room and peacefully wait for your surprise while sleeping!"

"Oh, then good night!"

"Mm, good night, good night..."
