[Western Fantasy] My Bound Warrior Is Always Knitting

On Earth, every unmarried young adult past a certain age is bound to be nagged about finding a spouse.

In the human settlements of the continent of Yatland, every magic user nearing graduation is bound to have their teachers urge them to find a bonded warrior.

Qiao Bai'an isn't worried about that.

Her partner... No, her bonded warrior was already chosen just a few days after she started school. They've been close for years, with similar talents. They even share the same instincts when choosing which monster's lair to raid for a mission. They're so in sync that if they grabbed newlyweds outside the human marriage registration office and made them play Pictionary on the spot, the two of them would never lose.

But life is full of surprises.

Yesterday, she was so calm, carefree, and smugly bragging to her fellow mages about how reliable her bonded warrior was. Today, standing outside the classroom for Advanced Training in the Art of Wool Knitting, she was completely crushed.

Someone tell her: the hulking guy in the classroom, surrounded by little flowers and skillfully crocheting yarn dolls, and her cool-as-ice warrior bro, who'd rather throw a punch than talk, just happen to have the exact same face, the exact same build, and the exact same weapon...

...Forget it.

The contract is already sealed. What else can she do, break up? She'll just make do.

=Things to note=

x A slow-burn progression story. The heroine is a berserker mage, and the hero is a househusband type.

x A traditional Western fantasy setting of swords and sorcery, with plenty of original worldbuilding, but all the usual elves and dragons are here.

x The heroine is not entirely human.

x The joke in the blurb won't appear for a while, so please be patient~

x Important supporting characters' names will appear many times to help you remember them. Anyone whose name appears only once or twice before they disappear is an unimportant passerby. Just think of them as Random Passerby A, B, or C and ignore them.

Theme: As long as we keep working hard, we will eventually find the future that's right for us.
