Re;Soulmates (Re;Zero x Male Reader)

One Greedy Desire (Echidna)

Get ready for the Witch of Greed to arrive, and remember those nameless muggers back in the prologue? Well, the time has come to deliver some payback, Yakuza style!

==============================

"Mmmm...well, what a morning this is."

I was awoken by a girl's voice one morning, I slowly opened up my eyes to see that someone was sleeping right next to me...in my bed.

"Huh?"

I look to my right to see Frederica.

"Hehe, morning sleepyhead."

"Oh, it's just you. Then I'll get back to...HUH?! WHAT THE HECK?!"

She laughed.

"What are you doing in my bed? No, wait, how did you even get into my house?!"

"Wow, I guess you must've hit the bottle hard last night. Maybe you should quit that while you're ahead."

"Never mind that, I'm asking about...wait, what do you mean by hitting the bottle?"

"Oh, you didn't get drunk in case you're wondering. I meant that you literally hit an empty bottle of alcohol hard against a brick wall."

I scratched my head. "Wait, let me try to remember."

She sighed. "It was our date yesterday and I was the one who got drunk. You then offered to let me stay at your place for the night, and so, here we are."

"Ohhh, I remember now...wow, I must be losing my mind."

"Oh, and just so we're clear, we didn't do anything impure last night." She smirked. "You and I are still virgins."

My face went red. "Frederica, please..."

She laughed. "Okay, enough of that. Anyway, I'll make you breakfast this morning as a thank you for last night."

"Umm, sure thing, thanks."

She then left the room and I thought I could hear a bag being grabbed. I guess she brought some spare clothes along just in case.

Having a moment to think, I was able to cast my mind back to the two previous days. As we promised, when we got back from our field study trip, I went out on my date with Crusch first. It was a quiet evening which was what she preferred and it ended on a sweet note.

Then yesterday was Frederica's turn, that date couldn't have been more of the exact opposite if it tried. It was a cosplay event we attended due to some anniversary special for a few anime shows, the event itself was a whole lot of fun, but the bottle she got...was not.

She got so drunk, that I just had to take the bottle off her and slammed it against a brick wall when we were walking down an alleyway that was a shortcut to my house.

Well, at least she had the awareness to not try and take me. I'm all for soulmates, but not every man likes to dive right at them the moment he sees a hot girl. Speaking of soulmates, I guess now was the ideal time to have a heart-to-heart with Luna.

"Luna, are you still here?" I asked as I closed the door for privacy. "We need to talk."

She then appeared on my bed and she was not her usual bright self.

"I was wondering when you would. What do you wanna know?" She responded.

"I've been thinking about this for a while, and recently, I've noticed that you've been feeling down every time I gain a new soulmate. This harem I have is big and it's a whole lot of hard work, so then why do I feel like something's not right?"
