My mobile game wife came knocking.

Ye Ming nodded with an understanding expression, but his eyes still subconsciously glanced into the training hall. Through the gap in the curtain, he could vaguely see several students in white training uniforms on the wooden floor, their slender figures moving nimbly with swords raised in both hands. When the bamboo swords clashed, a few shouts could be faintly heard through the air.

The dojo's architecture is similar to that of kendo dojos in some Japanese anime. The floor is raised with a platform, and there is a long corridor around it. Outside the corridor, several female students are sitting and swinging their legs leisurely. When they see someone coming in, they all cast curious glances at Ye Ming, who is following behind Okita Souji. Some girls even point at Ye Ming and say something, which makes the other girls laugh and joke.

Seeing this scene, for some reason, Ye Ming suddenly thought of his ship girls.

He must have at least several hundred girls in Azur Lane. If so many girls were to come to the real world, even the biggest house wouldn't be able to hold them all, unless he built several dormitory buildings himself.

Ye Ming had thought so before, but now, after seeing Okita's dojo, Ye Ming couldn't help but be tempted.

In the future, should we build a similar courtyard and settle down there?

Imagine this: on a warm afternoon in the future, in the wooden corridor outside, the ship girls lazily sit or lie down, reading or dozing, enjoying a leisurely time. In the pavilion in the courtyard, the royal girls sit on stone benches, enjoying afternoon tea. In the garden, the girls from Beng Beng Beng play together. In the rooms, on the big trees, under the cherry blossom trees, and on the glazed tile roofs, the girls of Chaldea also enjoy the warm afternoon sun.

Isn't this more comfortable and pleasant than living in a steel and concrete building?

Moreover, whether it's the girls in Genshin Impact, the girls in Type-Moon, or the ship girls and Valkyries, they are all powerful beings who possess extraordinary abilities. Even in a lush garden, because of the existence of these extraordinary abilities, there is no need to worry about annoying mosquitoes or the threat of snakes and insects.

Just imagining that beautiful scene made Ye Ming's heart flutter.

"The front yard is where the students practice swordsmanship, and the back yard is my personal residence."

As he said this, Okita Souji led Ye Ming through the front yard, through a small gate, and into the back yard.

The backyard is also laid out with the front half being a courtyard and garden, and the back half being rooms. However, compared to the front yard, the backyard courtyard is smaller and has fewer trees, but the garden is decorated more exquisitely and elegantly. Three rows of antique-style buildings are connected together in a horizontal and two vertical manner, somewhat similar to the courtyard houses in the capital, but much larger in area.

"I live here alone right now. Apart from the dojo and my bedroom, most of the other rooms are empty, so it feels a bit empty."

With that, Okita Souji led Ye Ming up the steps and into the corridor.

"Should I take my shoes off?"

Looking at the spotless wooden floor in the corridor, Ye Ming asked.

"Ah."

The chief nodded. "I don't have any slippers for you here, and you can't fit into my slippers either, so I'll have to trouble you to go barefoot for now. But if you feel uncomfortable, it's okay if you don't take them off."

"It's okay, I often walk barefoot in my room at home too."

As he spoke, Ye Ming imitated Okita Souji, sat down on the steps, took off his shoes, put them on the shoe rack next to him, went up into the corridor, walked a distance in the corridor, and followed Okita Souji into the bedroom on the right.

Click! Ye Ming had just entered the bedroom when he heard a soft sound coming from the door behind him. He turned around and saw that Okita Souji had locked the bedroom door from the inside.

"you……"

Ye Ming was taken aback by Okita Souji's actions, thinking that Okita Souji was going to do something to him. However, Okita's expression was very calm, as if locking the door was just a habitual action.

After locking the door, Okita Souji walked past Ye Ming and sat down at the small wooden table in the center of the room, casually inviting Ye Ming to come over and sit wherever he wanted.

"Oh."

The girl with cherry-blossom hair had such a calm look in her eyes and tone that Ye Ming couldn't help but wonder if her actions just now were just a habitual gesture. He hesitated as he sat down opposite her, considering how to start the conversation.

"Okita, you, you're the Okita from the game, right?"

In the end, Ye Ming chose to get straight to the point and asked the question that was on his mind.

"Well, I am."

To Ye Ming's surprise, the cherry-haired girl nodded in agreement. The girl's expression was calm and her tone was indifferent, as if it were just a trivial matter.

What surprised Ye Ming even more was what the girl said next.

“I am indeed Okita Souji from the game. I also like you. This courtyard, from the very beginning, was not a dojo for teaching swordsmanship, but a home that I carefully designed.”

“From the first day I came into this world, I knew that this miracle of traversing the world could not happen to just me. The others in Chaldea would come into this world sooner or later. This courtyard was prepared for you, me, and everyone else.”

"This is our home."

"Ye Ming, now that you're here, you can stay here from now on."

Chapter 165 Continuing the Unfinished Business in the Bridal Chamber

"This is our home."

"Ye Ming, since you're here, why don't you stay here?"

The cherry-haired girl said this, her expression as calm as ever.

Ye Ming was stunned.

Actually, before asking the question, he had imagined the girl's reaction: maybe she would brush it off with an ambiguous "yes or no" like Keqing did, or maybe she would reminisce and then emotionally acknowledge the girl, or maybe she would look at him with a sneer and ask, "What are you talking about?"

Ye Ming had anticipated many scenarios, but he never expected that the cherry-haired girl would answer so directly and frankly, without any evasion or prevarication.

However, perhaps this is just Ms. Okita's style, like a seasoned swordsman drawing his sword—decisive, sharp, and deadly, without any hesitation.

Faced with Okita Souji's directness, Ye Ming was taken aback before asking, "So, besides the game, have you ever met me before?"

This is a very important issue.

Because FGO doesn't have a vow system like Azur Lane, although FGO's bond system is somewhat similar to Azur Lane's affection system, ultimately, there's no way to get married directly. Some Servants, even after reaching max bond level, may not necessarily treat their Master as a lover.

In FGO, Okita's Bond Line voice line at Bond 4 is—"Um…this is hard to say. Being with Master, how should I put it…I feel a little at ease, or rather, my heart races…It's strange, I've never experienced anything like this in my life…Am I running a fever again?"

Bond five will take it a step further, becoming—Okita, I will never be lost again! As long as it is the direction Master is heading, even to the ends of the earth, the ends of the water, even at the cost of my own body, even to the ends of the underworld, I will accompany you all the way!

Judging from her voice, Ms. Okita clearly harbors romantic feelings for her Master, or perhaps something beyond romance—a mixture of trust built through fighting side-by-side and romantic love.

However, games and reality cannot be confused, and the situation is different between different games. For example, in Genshin Impact, although there is no oath system and the voice lines for the girls in the game rarely involve real romance, at least so far, the girls who came to this world, including Kurumi and Keqing, like him because of their past experiences in Teyvat.

As for the ship girls, Enterprise Laffey, although she doesn't have memories outside the game like Gan Yu and the others, still loves him deeply. Because of the wedding ring, she was his wife from the beginning.

As for Honkai Impact 3rd, Ye Ming hasn't met any of the girls in Honkai Impact 3rd yet. He can only occasionally hear the names of a few Valkyries from what Gan Yu and the others mention about their past. As for the specifics of their past, he knows nothing at all.

The situation is somewhat similar in FGO. Okita Souji was the first Servant Ye Ming encountered in FGO, so Ye Ming wanted to find out more information. Firstly, he wanted to ascertain Okita's feelings for him, and secondly, he wanted to prepare himself mentally for the future.

"I've met you."

The cherry-haired girl responded quite readily. Looking at Ye Ming with her beautiful amber eyes, she said, "You want to inquire about Chaldea, and you want to know about your relationship with me, right?"

Without waiting for Ye Ming's response, Okita Souji continued, "Our relationship is very simple. We are childhood friends who grew up together, each other's first love, comrades who went through the bloody storms of the late Edo period together, and partners who climbed the peak of swordsmanship together. We have already made a promise to walk hand in hand into the future, whether in life or in swordsmanship."

"We had already set a wedding date before you passed away."

Okita Souji's words were like a bombshell, stunning Ye Ming. But it didn't end there. The girl's voice continued: "The first love I'm talking about is first love in every sense of the word. In Chaldea, whether it's Artoria Morgana, Mashu, Abigail, or Jeanne d'Arc, they all met you later. Including that woman named Keqing, she was also a later arrival."

At this point, noticing Ye Ming's stunned expression, the girl named Okita Souji smiled, her eyes crinkling. With this smile, the girl's originally cool and rational temperament changed instantly, and her pretty face, which still retained some childlike innocence, revealed a childlike purity and cuteness.

"Whether in the Bakumatsu period in Japan or in Chaldea, I have always firmly believed that we will meet again. So, from the day I inexplicably came into this world, I have been preparing for our future."

“When I was in Japan, I met a friend who was very skilled in programming and computer technology. We started a business together and accumulated a lot of assets. Later, with her help, we opened several companies in Northern Europe and North America. Using the names of these companies, we won bids for several open projects on nearby land and developed several membership-based high-end consumer projects. While reducing the number of outsiders, we built the most central piece of land into the dojo we have today.”

“If I want, the instructors and students in the dojo can be transferred to the club next door within a few days, and this place will become a private territory in a real sense.”

Speaking of this, Okita Souji couldn't help but recall his friend in Japan.

At that time, she had just come into this world and met a netizen named "The Rabbit Who Eats Tigers" by chance. Later, due to a series of coincidences, the two met in real life. Because they got along well, they quickly became close friends and started a business together.

Okita Souji started this investment plan at the suggestion of his best friend, and even the funds for purchasing the land and building and renovating the dojo were provided by that best friend.

At the time, she felt a little awkward and wanted to politely decline, but her best friend said, "Why should we be so fussy between sisters? Consider this house a wedding gift from me to you and your lover." Therefore, Okita could only nod and accept her best friend's heartfelt gift.

Okita Souji kept this matter to herself. She and her best friend had already agreed that when she got married, her best friend would be her bridesmaid at the wedding.

“I have always decorated this temple as if it were our future home, so this temple is our wedding room.”

"Didn't you just want to move? You don't need to look for a new place anymore. How about you stay here starting today?"

As he said this, Okita Souji stretched and suddenly leaned over the table, extending his slender, jade-like hands, white as jade and smooth as cream, in front of Ye Ming. His long, delicate fingers were spread out, flipped back and forth a couple of times, and his right ring finger playfully moved towards Ye Ming.

"So, now, Yezi, shouldn't we continue with the promise we couldn't keep? Shouldn't you take responsibility for what you haven't done?"

"Once you take on responsibility, you have the right to exercise power."

Chapter 166 Yae Sakura, completely defeated, Okita-san's great victory!

"Once you take on responsibility, you have the right to exercise power."

As she spoke, the cherry-haired girl drew out her words slightly, her beautiful amber eyes fixed on Ye Ming with a meaningful gaze.

But Ye Ming remained completely unmoved.

He is a very self-disciplined person, so how could he be swayed by such a trivial matter?

However, he also noticed the girl's playful flicking of her ring finger and understood what the gesture implied—the ring finger is where wedding rings are worn.

Okita Souji is asking him for a wedding ring, wanting to marry him.

Realizing this, Ye Ming subconsciously tightened his grip on the shopping bag beside him, which was full of wedding rings.

Some time ago, he bought ten pairs of wedding rings from a jewelry store. After deducting the one for Fu Hua, he still had nine pairs left.

To be honest, Ye Ming initially regretted his purchase, wondering if he had bought too many. After all, the company and Lafite already had wedding rings, and Gan Yu, Hu Tao, and Ke Qing each had one. Adding Fu Hua's ring, that made a total of four rings, leaving six rings unaccounted for.

After all, as of yesterday, the only girls he could confirm the identities of were Gan Yu, Ke Qing, and Kurumi. As for the other girls in FGO, Honkai Impact 3rd, and Genshin Impact, he didn't know when they would come looking for him. Therefore, he was unsure where to hide the remaining six rings.

However, Ye Ming now feels that he may have bought too few. When he bought the wedding rings, he should have bought five or six more.

The reason is simple: since Okita Souji from FGO has been here for so long, perhaps soon Jeanne Alter and Scáthach will also come knocking on our door.

Okita Souji, Jeanne Alter, Scáthach, plus Kurumi and Keqing, that's six wedding rings. If we also include Seele, who was suspected of appearing in Australia, then it'll be seven...

Adding in the other Valkyries and the girls from Genshin Impact, ten wedding rings do seem a bit too few.

However, these are matters for the future. Right now, Ye Ming's immediate question is whether or not to take out the wedding ring from the shopping bag and put it on Miss Okita's finger on the spot.

This thought only flashed through Ye Ming's mind for a moment before he dismissed it.

the reason is simple.

If he were to actually do that, the moment he pulls the wedding ring out of the shopping bag, the other wedding rings in the bag would surely not escape Okita's notice.

A top-tier swordsman like Okita Souji, with his clear mind and sharp eyes, would never make a mistake.

Ye Ming thought that if Okita Souji saw him pulling rings out of a shopping bag like a wholesaler, whether Miss Okita would accept them or not was another matter, but he would definitely get beaten up, right?

Ye Ming isn't stupid; he wouldn't do something so foolish.

Therefore, in response to Okita Souji's hint, Ye Ming did not respond directly, but instead said, "Miss Okita, in the two days we've known each other, you should have noticed, right? I don't have any memories from before."

The heroic spirits of Chaldea were either kings of a certain era or heroes active in history, as well as many non-human supernatural beings, hybrids of humans and gods, or even gods themselves. Most of them have legends that have been passed down to this day, and now they are ordinary people who are nothing special.

For example, Okita Souji was the first swordsman of the Shinsengumi, the number one swordsman group in the Bakumatsu period. He was active in the turbulent Imperial Capital and experienced one brutal battle after another. He was known as the Heavenly Sword of the Bakumatsu period. Such a person, even if he is a beautiful and cute girl with a face that still retains some childishness, is by no means an ordinary person. It is natural to see that he has no memories of his past.
