“Alright then, can you lend me a hand?”
“What should I do?” Angelica asked, tilting her head . I asked her to help me move the table aside . I felt weird asking a girl to do a menial job, but her Attack power is 300, about three times higher than a regular guy . Despite looking like an everyday, sweet maiden, she had a status rivaling a fierce animal .
“Can you just put it somewhere in the veranda?”
She responded jovially with an “Okaay~” as she lifted the table with one hand . She does it so effortlessly that it looks like she’s lifting a paperback book . No wonder Ayako-chan is startled seeing the differences between her dainty appearance and her unnatural strength .
Me, I carried the bookshelf and television to the kitchen while leaving my laptop on top of the washing machine . Having two people clear the room really makes it a breeze .
The furniture in the living room is now reduced, creating an open living room area . I can say now that I’ve created enough space for a guy to run around freely .
“Stay on the bed, Ange . You too, Ayako-chan…also, can you two close your eyes for a bit?”
“Why?”
“Because I’m going to take my clothes off . ”
“HUH!?”
Angelica and Ayako-chan hurriedly brought her hands to her eyes…Maybe they’re not looking now . Maybe .
Quickly taking my clothes off, I threw them to the edge of my bed .
“I’m hearing clothes rustling…”
“Nakamoto-san…you’re naked now, aren’t you…?”
I feel like I’m being watched through the gaps between some fingers, am I imagining it?
“…right, it feels weird so can you two go to the bathroom?”
“Nonono, don’t mind us . I love the bed . ”
“…ditto . ”
Ange and Ayako-chan is clearly expecting some weird event to happen here, so I should really clear up the air here .
“There’s nothing pleasant to see you know . Rather, it might be super disgusting if I say so myself . ”
“Are you going to do something bad!? Then I want to see it!”
“No, you absolutely can’t see this . You’ll definitely regret it if you choose to see it . Do you really want to see me get torn in half?”
“TORN IN HALF!?”
As she said that, Angelica stiffly shut her eyes . I guess I can sympathize with her . Next to her, Ayako-chan is also doing the same thing .
“Don’t open your eyes until I tell you so, okay . ”
“Yeshh…b-but please be careful . ”
Goodness me . Is it really that interesting to see an old man’s body?
Sighing, I took out a permanent marker, marking my right flank with the letter A and the letter B on the left . This is just to avoid complications later, since calling both of us Nakamoto Keisuke would be a huge pain in the neck .
“When it comes down to doing it, it’s really nerve-wracking . ”
That’s right, I am currently planning to split myself in two . If Kana is planning to overwhelm me with number, two can play at that game . Still, from the start, I my stats are ten times higher than Kana’s, and I even have the Double Action skill . Splitting myself in two would cause my fighting strength to skyrocket .
I cast Regeneration on myself and created the Sword of Light using the Sacred Sword skill and created an attack in the middle of the room . Following the predicted trajectory markers, I dashed straight to it .
“…!”
As my consciousness dissipates, I hear something tumbling to the ground . Looking to my left, the left half of my body is slammed down to the ground; the other me that was cut up to half the size . The cross-section of my body wriggled as it was still alive, and the regeneration of the right side of my body started regenerating . In due time it would probably return back to the previous size . Peeking to my left, it also seemed that my left side of the body had regenerated back as well .
There’s a huge A on my flank, making me Keisuke A .
“…oh, looks like the regen is done . How are you doing over there?”
“Same as you . ”
“Doesn’t really hurt, does it . ”
“True . Kinda disappointing to be honest . ”
A truly strange conversation unfolds between me and Keisuke B . How weird is it to have two of the same people having a leisurely chat .
“What do you think? Do we need one more?”
“Hmm…Guess we can . ”
“I’ll go do it then . ”
“For sure . I’ll go get a change of clothes . ”
Keisuke B heads for the bathroom with his clothes . After seeing him off, I wrote a huge C on my left flank and split myself once again . Just like earlier, I made another copy of myself . And so Keisuke C rises .
“Anyways,”
“Let’s put on some pants . ”
Keisuke C and I looked at each other and squat down . The area under my bed was turned into a drawer that contains my clothes, so the two of us, with the same movement, took out a pair of boxer at the same time and quickly put them on before taking some shirt . This should be fine .
“You can open your eyes now” I told Angelica and Ayako-chan, calling them out .
“…hawawa…daddy multiplied…is this heaven…?”
“…your body is very toned, Nakamoto-san…I could tell from a glance of your clothed figure though…” said Ayako-chan ecstatically as she gazed at us changing . She’s so enraptured you wouldn’t think she was crying until just now . Her recovery capability is astounding .
I scratch my head thinking that these kids somehow sour my mood, and Keisuke B came back from the bathroom .
“Put your damn clothes already . Why are you looking like that in front of Ange and Ayako-chan? It’s not good for their upbringing . ”
“You don’t have to tell me” said the man with the same face as mine, saying what I thought of saying . As he’s a carbon copy of me, it’s not that weird for us to be thinking of the same thing . Since we’re talking to ourselves, it doesn’t feel that different than my usual monologue .
Having finished changing my clothes, Keisuke C and I sat down cross-legged before Keisuke B follows suit . Now, let’s talk .
“Three heads are better than one¹, eh?”
“We’re cloning ourselves for the fists rather than the head though . ”
“Anyways, who’s gonna do what?”
“Let’s settle it with rock paper scissors”, said Keisuke C . We had no objections . How could we? It’s my idea .
“Let’s decide what each winner do . ”
Rock paper scissors SHOOT! I shoot out paper, and the other two chose rock .
“A is strong in rock paper scissors huh . ”
“It’s a coincidence . Anyways, I’ll standby for an ambush in the mountains . ”
The others did another rock paper scissors, and Keisuke C won it .
“I’ll keep watch then . ”
“So I’m the one who’s gotta show up huh…” Keisuke B said, dropping his shoulders .
“Don’t be so disappointed . It’s a convenient position, right?”
“Seriously . You’re gonna be the one who’s just gotta live your everyday life . ”
“…Just waiting is really heavy for my spirit you know . ”
Keisuke C and I tried to console Keisuke B . Despite being a quickly made clones, we were only one just minutes ago . We all get along well .
“Umm…daddies? What are you planning to do?” asked Angelica, touching her lip with her index finger as she looked at us with wonder .
“I have work tomorrow and after, so I need someone to live as I have and go to the TV station . I need the income and it could be an alibi as well . Meanwhile the other two will flush out Kana . ”
“I see, then you really need to split yourself for that . Hmm hmm . ” Angelica nodded, while Ayako-chan sitting next to her is turning red . Seems like the image of Keisuke C patting Keisuke B on the shoulder excited her . I’m sure she’s imagining some bone-chillingly horrendous thing right now .
“The spineless seme Nakamoto-san and the inviting uke Nakamoto-san…”
Me x Me pairing is honestly pretty disgusting, so I really want to stop her right then and there . Besides, Ayako-chan? I didn’t know you have this sort of knowledge . Is this girl okay?
Seeing me shudder, Keisuke B seems to have remembered something .
“We’re gonna need phones for us to contact each other, right? I’ll go buy it right now . ”
“Ah, my bad, thanks . ”
“Two is fine, right? We can give it to Angelica and Ayako-chan once we’re done with Kana . ”
“That’ll help . Here, wallet . ”
I threw my wallet in my pocket toward Keisuke B, and he caught it in superb timing . What’s more interesting is that Keisuke B had already prepared to catch the wallet even before I start throwing the wallet . Seems like he already knows where I would throw the wallet even when I only started to fish for it in my pocket . Looks like he really knows what I’m thinking .
“Alright, I’ll go now . ”
He wore his coat and quickly heads for the entrance . There’s no doppelganger this convenient .
“Alright then,” Now that B took the odd job, I’ll have to be the one taking care of the dirty work .
I walked closer to Ayako-chan and grabbed her narrow shoulders .
“I have something to ask you . ”
