Yue Dao You, the Keeper's codename Shuo Yue, another name for the new moon.
After graduating, she was noticed by the government for her spiritual power. From then on, things went much like they did at any ordinary Honmaru.
She opened a new Honmaru, steadily completed missions, arranged sorties, and rushed from one event to the next in search of new swords.
My life originally had two possible paths.
First, find a boyfriend in the modern world, fall in love naturally, get married, then retire when my term as Keeper ended.
Second, find a boyfriend in my Honmaru, fall in love as a matter of course, and get married. Then renew my contract when my term as Keeper ended.
But now, a third possibility I never saw coming has appeared.
I fell in love online with a government employee!
The relationship has gone smoothly enough, but there's one thing that's been bothering me.
My senior Blue Diamond really doesn't want to meet me... He's even stingy with voice messages and photos.
How can that be? Aren't we dating?
Because of this, Hasebe, my Honmaru's attendant, has questioned me countless times. He suspects the other guy is an online scammer and keeps urging me to break up with him.
But I really like my online boyfriend, so I just... can't do it.
Until one day, unable to take it any longer, I guessed that maybe he
“Could it be that he's too insecure or something, and that's why he won't tell me anything about himself?!
Well, Blue Diamond does seem really antisocial, so maybe he's too shy to meet me offline? That has to be it, right?
It's okay! I understand. What an adorable senior!”
after that.
For the first time ever, he sent me a long voice message:
“...What on earth are you guessing at?”
His helplessness and irritation were hard to miss.
Oh, he's mad.
Oh! That voice!
I've fallen in love all over again!
But even after all that, he still won't meet me. It's so frustrating.
Until one afternoon that wasn't especially unusual.
Well, it was actually pretty special.
That was when I finally stood in front of the sticker exchange counter, ready to trade for the Inspector I'd long been pining for, the one I'd missed out on during an event for one reason or another...
Suddenly, a hand reached over and stopped me.
The person sounded too furious to hide it.
“Are you really that impatient? You wouldn't mind taking another version of me home?”
...Huh?
A government employee, Blue Diamond... Chougi?!
*Reader's Guide
1. An extremely sweet romance, with a very fast-developing relationship. Best to turn off your brain before reading.
2. The blurb is a little misleading: the voice-message scene doesn't appear in the novel.
3. Some of the other swords have (very subtle) one-sided feelings for the heroine, but she's focused on Chougi the whole time.
The others never confess or cross the line. They're just along for the ride! You can ignore it or treat it as simple affection between family!
Theme: Love means seeing the real you.
Ahhhh, I really want to see more of their lives in the citadel later on.
Finally, an update! Pearl really put in a lot of effort, hahaha!
