Riaru de Reberu Age Shitara Hobo Chītona Jinsei ni Natta Chapter 219

Translator: Ranzan

Youran with her twintails ungrasped .

Shingetsu no Kami .

With her released, she took on the air that surrounded that auspicious name .

As if a switch had been thrown, with her hair released, she became like a different person .

Taiyou silently awaited what would happen .

Taiyou loved to see her 『Shingetsu no Kami』mode, and not only liked it, but almost seemed to praise it, in a way .

That’s why he waited .

Waited for it, for her mouth to open .

Just like a bit and bridle, he had let go of the hair he had felt her heart with, and waited .

However .

「…」

「…… . 」

「…………」

No matter how long he waited, it never came .

Her hair was down, and she sat facing away from him, but there was no other sign of the 『Shingetsu no Kami . 』

In addition, there was no sign of her opening her mouth either .

The air was silent .

He felt pressure like the murderous intent of Shirokiyami .

What happened, what is she doing, he thought .

Waiting, waiting, waiting .

Click, click, click, the sound of the clock on the wall reverberated .

The air seemed to freeze…Time seemed to stop .

Just then, Youran seemed like a doll – if she didn’t breathe she would be completely silent .

Still, he waited . All he could do was continue to wait .

As he waited, finally, the air surrounding her began to move .

Taiyou prepared himself for her to move . If he prepared himself, she’d do something, he thought as he took a deep breath .

But, he was wrong, as that 「My name is…」never started emerging from her mouth .

Actually, there were no words .

Youran silently began to retie her twintails .

She split her hair in half, and tied the first ponytail high on the right side .

She then put left side in hand .

The half twintail, with her bobbing hair .

As soon as he saw that, Taiyou thought…

(No…)

He grabbed her hand as it tied up her hair and stopped it .

Her and opened, letting the left, untied side drop .

A half twintail, half long hair .

Half Youran, half Shingetsu no Kami .

Half…Youran Juunishima .

He didn’t feel any resistance to him in her hand though .

「Youran . 」

He called her name and from behind her with a clump, held her close .

Though his arms were wrapped around her strongly, she didn’t resist .

Then, Taiyou became desperate .

「Wait…wait . 」

「…」

「A little more, just wait…」

「…」

He held on to her from behind, speaking over and over almost in a delirium .

He could slightly feel sweat begin to bead up on his back .

He didn’t know what was happening, what could happen, or what he was trying to make happen .

However, he had the feeling that she would disappear .

The second after she tied up her hair, she would decisively leave him .

Maybe they would meet one day, as long as Leticia was there, he wouldn’t totally lose contact with her .

But that was it .

Leticia’s friend, his wife’s friend .

After that, her position as being that would solidify, even more, or even less .

He didn’t know the reason, there were no words .

However, at the end of those bobbing twintails, he could feel there was a reason .

There was no time to put it into language, but he could feel it in his mind .

Clearly, at a level he knew there was no mistake .

「…」

「…」

He held her close, and still, there were no words .

He didn’t know what to say to her .

But, he was well trained .

Even if he stayed silent now, everything would end up in the same pattern as before .

That’s why he understood that this time the words had to be different .

So, he said what had to be said .

「I…think I love you . 」

The most important thing, no mistakes, only the truth told .

That thing, so there would be no doubt, no extra, the bare minimum .

He could feel her tense up a bit in his arms .

She felt it…he was relieved .

It felt like almost making the wrong choice before the ending of a game .

Relief, and after a breath, he continued .

「I want to make you mine, make you mine, make you ours . 」

「Make me yours?」

「Yeah, all of ours . 」

She was held back, so there was time .

The words were hard to understand, so he had to explain further .

「Become ours, and we can become happy . We can all laugh together, create a family that no one else can match . We will all become yours too, become yours, and make you happy . Because of that relationship, no matter what happens, we’ll fight for you in every way . 」
「I…I’m not that weak . 」

「We’re all weak . 」

It was almost an instant answer, when Taiyou replied .

「Kotone, Suzune, Kazane . They’re weak, thy were born as triplets, and they hate being looked at like that, they’re weak and they want to be loved individually by one man . 」
「…」
「You may not know but, I, I’ve never thought of them as three . Even as a group, I’ve never called them the three girls . 」

Of course, when they joined him, he burned that idea into his heart of hearts .

「Kohaku is weak . The Eternal Little, the old maid . She stopped growth in her body at age 10 , and became a mature adult within 10 years after that happening, and made herself strong . But because of that, she wants to be the one to coddle and care for the one she loves . I’ve made myself to be that person that she wants to treasure so badly, so as much as possible I’ve been a man that doesn’t have to depend on her in any way possible . She feels at peace and takes care of me as she does everything she can to support me . 」

「…」

「Aoba fears her family . Her parents made a harem, but since it was so strong, they ended up treasuring all the spouses so much that the children were practically abandoned . And like I just said, that was just the rehearsal . You have to extend your love to the children of the women in your harem . As I decided that, Pochi has decided to become Kohaku’s child again, because that position is important . 」

「…」

「These girls are all weak, and I seem even weaker . Everyone that I end up loving is weak . 」

There was no doubt, the strength of his words said so .

「Shirokiyami, she too is weak . 」

He remembered her complex .

Its because there aren’t enough colors, that complex had formed itself on her lips .

She always wore a black dress after noticing her way of looking, so she could fix the parts of herself that were lacking .

It all seemed to resemble a kinship .

「Seeing that, she had a very weak spot . She may be very physically strong, and have a mentally strong part as well, but there’s a very weak part as well . 」

「…」

「That’s why, you may get angry, but I love you and think you have a weak point too . That’s why I love you and want you as my own . 」

「…what about Leticia?」

A sudden question, Taiyou thought .

His 『idol』status counted Leticia as his too, so it was obvious that she would ask about what he thought of her .

「Well, she’s probably strong . 」

His own words contradicted what he just said, but he said them in a tone with no confusion .
