Could Adventurer Merchant and Rula be the same person?

I’m Adventure Merchant, the column writer. A question involving my name came up, so I thought I’d answer it… I’ve seen Rura-sama on the Q&A page before. As for whether Rura-sama and I are the same person… I actually know the answer quite clearly myself, but… Well, how about we keep it a secret?(^^♪ “Rura-sama” and “Adventure Merchant” are both pen names—in other words, fictional characters who appear here. If you find it more entertaining to think we’re the same person, I’d be honored if you viewed us that way. If you find it more entertaining to think we’re different people, that’s perfectly fine too. If I keep posting completely outrageous answers and Rura-sama thinks, “How outrageous that I could be mistaken for the same person as an answerer like this! This is a matter of my dignity!” then perhaps we might receive an answer from Rura-sama again after all this time. Though Rura-sama seems to have retired, so they may not even see this… That’s another possibility, anyway(^^♪ “Various speculations and imaginings come into play, and thinking about the truth is more enjoyable than actually knowing it.” I think that perfectly captures what relationships at a dating club are all about（笑） I’ll continue writing answers and columns as Adventure Merchant, so I hope you’ll keep reading.
