Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2637: Chapter 1247: Just a Common Beautiful Girl/Bard_2

[Ugh, the tiles under my feet are more spoiled and innocent than you, silly woman.]

Politely gagging inwardly, Frank blinked cheerfully and said gently, "Sorry, I thought Double Leaf you were joking with me."

"What do you mean?"

Double Leaf tightened the little hand grasping Motan’s collar even more, gritting her teeth and said, "Don’t tell me you think I’m less spoiled and innocent than the tiles under your feet. Do you believe I’ll scatter your ashes?!"

"No way~"

While marveling inside, ’This woman has some spark,’ Motan shook his head vigorously, and said with a grin, "I just feel like you, Double Leaf, don’t need anyone worrying about you."

Double Leaf was slightly stunned, then gave Motan a hard yank, forcing him to hunch over a bit. She gritted her teeth and said, "What do you mean by I don’t need anyone worrying about me?!"

"Uh... I mean... I think..."

Due to his collar being pulled tightly, Motan found it hard to speak, until Double Leaf loosened her grip slightly and he breathed a sigh of relief: "You’re very capable, Double Leaf, and you have a very objective understanding of this. Not only that..."

At this point, he suddenly paused.

"What’s wrong?"

Double Leaf let go of Motan’s collar and said angrily, "Not only that, and then?"

Motan hesitated for a moment and eventually smiled wryly, "I think more than anyone else, you always trust yourself the most."

"How can you be so sure?"

Double Leaf responded indifferently.

"Because..."

Motan averted his gaze and suddenly seemed very interested in the moon above: "I’m probably the same kind of person."

Double Leaf burst into laughter, giving him a hard pat on the shoulder, "Oh great, I definitely have to tell Diana you don’t trust her."

"Diana A. Achizolti is the person I love most, and Frank Hughes is the person I trust most."

Motan flashed a free-spirited smile, shrugged, and said, "I’m not saying I don’t trust Diana. After all, I’m willing to entrust her with everything. It’s just... sometimes even those who love you the most might lie to you."

Double Leaf pursed her lips and let out a cold laugh, "Sorry, the deal I made with Mr. Book Spirit put you in a tough spot, Frank."

"I didn’t mean that..."

Motan hurriedly explained, then said with a bitter smile, "Of course, I don’t deny feeling guilty for not being honest with Diana first."

Double Leaf nodded nonchalantly and started walking again, "So, should we grab a late-night snack together? The invitation still stands."

"I’d love to, but I still want to head back to find Diana as soon as possible."

Since he didn’t know when he might be logged out, Motan smiled and gave Double Leaf the predictable answer, wanting to end this long night soon."

"Alright, alright, but I want to give a slight reminder, if you keep this up, Frank~"

Double Leaf yawned and stretched lazily, saying calmly, "Just suppose... I’m saying suppose, after Diana leaves, you might find your world utterly empty."

Frank’s steps paused slightly, and he murmured in a dry voice, "If that’s truly the case, maybe it’s for the best."

"How much are you hiding from us?"

In the same lazy tone, Double Leaf asked without turning her head.

"Who knows?"

Motan sighed lightly and pushed up his glasses.

"Not long ago, you said you were just an ordinary Bard."

"Double Leaf, didn’t you also say you were just a common pretty girl?"

"What, am I not a pretty girl?"

"You absolutely are."

"But not entirely?"

"No, you’re entirely a pretty girl, just not ordinary at all."

"Wow, just because I didn’t tell you I’m an Otherworlder, you bear a grudge? Frank, are you that petty?"

"You know I don’t mean it that way."

"Ha, then can I also understand it as, although you’re completely a Bard, you’re not ordinary at all either?"

"That depends on who you’re comparing to."

"Compared to me?"

"That would be quite ordinary~"

"Is that a compliment?"

"Just a heartfelt truth."

Frank laughed, adding in his heart, [After all, my gender traits are way more apparent than your flat surface.]

"Well, thank you very much, then."

Double Leaf laughed too, adding in her heart, [Why don’t you go to hell, eh?]

Fifteen minutes later

Academy City Inner Ring Area, [Stars] High-level Chain Hotel, Rooftop Sky Garden

"Frank!"

Accompanied by a joyful shout, Lady Diana A. Achizolti, the Grand Astrologist, flew into Motan’s arms like a swallow returning to its nest, completely ignoring the apprentice beside her who wore a disdainful expression, and gently rubbed her forehead against her lover’s chin, exhaling a sigh of peace: "You guys came back so quickly."

Tonight, Lady Diana was wearing a loose black robe, a beautiful pair of rimless crystal glasses on her face, and her smooth flaxen hair casually draped behind her, with a few playful strands falling on her shawl. Her charming and pretty face shone radiantly, with an ethereal innocence that was endearing.

Incidentally, although Diana looked similar to Double Leaf due to the loose robe, when she hugged Motan tightly, the difference between them was apparent immediately, much to Motan’s despair.

"I felt we came back late."

Motan chuckled and grazed Diana’s nose with his fingers, then ruffled her beautiful and smooth long hair: "Actually, it’s this person who got so engrossed in stargazing that time slipped away."

Leaning against Motan’s chest, which wasn’t exactly broad, Diana blinked in surprise: "Eh? Has it gotten late?"

"Dawn is almost here..."

Double Leaf weakly glanced at the sky, which was faintly showing the first light of dawn, and smirked: "I suggest we hurry and let Frank prepare some snacks, then go to bed immediately."

"Hmm!"

Diana pursed her lips and mumbled, "But the stars..."

"The stars are already gone!"

Double Leaf rolled her eyes and teased, "This isn’t your observatory. Frankly, Diana, you were just standing there, daydreaming at the sky!"

"Ah..."

Diana suddenly snapped out of it, then spun around in Motan’s arms and looked up at the sky, where the stars indeed no longer twinkled: "Really, oh!"

"Oh my head!"

Double Leaf stomped her foot angrily and shouted, "Let’s go! Back to the room! Or do you two want to stay here and..."

"Ahem."

Motan cleared his throat heavily, interrupting Double Leaf at a critical moment, then turned to Diana and smiled: "Since the stars are gone, let’s return to the room. I can prepare some snacks."

"Ugh~"

Diana, who looked tired as soon as the stars were gone, yawned and proposed sleepily: "Let’s just go to bed... I’m not really... hungry..."

Motan supported Diana, who was teetering, and said dotingly, "Alright, if you’re not really hungry, then let’s go rest..."

"I’m hungry!!!"

But Double Leaf screamed with a high-pitched tone.

...

In the end, Motan prepared some easy-to-digest supper that wouldn’t affect the body even after eating and heading straight to bed. This successfully appeased Double Leaf and also filled Diana, who said she wasn’t hungry but was just eager to hit the bed.

"Speaking of which."

It wasn’t until Diana slowly changed into a nightgown and Motan, sitting at the bed’s edge, turned to her with a smile: "Did you gain anything?"

"Nothing at all."

Diana casually grabbed Motan’s wrist, collapsed straight onto the pillow, and mumbled, "Absolutely nothing... just the stars looked so lovely..."

"Nothing at all?"

"Mmm..."

"Diana?"

"Zzzz..."

"If nothing at all, why are you holding on so tightly?"

"Zzzz..."
