「W, who the hell are you?!」
The man had a questioning voice and a hurried look and tone .
Taiyou gripped onto his wrist, so hard that the man’s hand started to turn white .
His face writhed in pain . Taiyou said with a straight face:
「I think this girl did something wrong, so I’ll apologize for her . Sorry . 」
「Natsuno-kun…」
Aoba wanted to say something, but Taiyou waved her off .
And Aoba then closed her mouth .
Taiyou looked back at the man .
「Sorry . 」
「Stop this! It’s not you but that girl…」
「Sorry . 」
「Bastard!」
「Sorry . 」
Taiyou simply said sorry each time .
And as he said it, he put more and more pressure on the man’s arm .
The third time he said sorry, the man’s hand turned from white to red .
Above the hand that Taiyou was holding the man with, the man tapped as if to give up .
He let the man go and the man rubbed his wrist .
He looked at both Aoba and Taiyou with an angry glare, said 「I won’t forgive this」 and ran out the room .
The woman with him, who was probably his lover, ran after him .
The onlookers around them then broke up, and Aoba and Taiyou with Hera holding her hand to her mouth, were the only three left .
Taiyou turned to Aoba and asked her .
「What was all this about?」
「Um…」
Aoba drooped her head, and had trouble telling him .
Taiyou then turned to Hera and asked .
「What happened?」
「Um, desu…a battle . 」
「A battle?」
「Yes, desu . A commonplace battle because the man had slept with the woman’s younger sister . 」
「There’s nothing commonplace about that! I mean, it does happen often, right?」
He responded with a challenge, but then thinking about it, conceded .
Then he looked back at Aoba and remembered .
She had done the same thing before .
「You did the same thing at school」
「Uh . 」
「You shouted “You cheater!” at your man, and then almost dropped out . 」
「I…I’m sorry . I caused trouble for you again . 」
「No, that kind of trouble is okay . 」
Taiyou grimaced a bit .
「As long as you do it in a place I can reach you, it’s fine . 」
「Huh?」
「If anything happens, and it happens at a place I don’t know about, that’s the only time it’s going to bother me out of regret . 」
「…」
「Well, it’s not important now . 」
No matter what happens, as long as I have the power to protect her, Taiyou thought .
The goal was clear, you just had to find the means .
That’s why there was no confusion, and for Taiyou that was enough .
「So, are you finished?」
「Y, yes . I’m done shopping . 」
「I see, then let’s go home . 」
「Sure . 」
They both walked out and returned the way they came .
In order to get to the bottom quick, they took the elevator down .
He pushed the down button, looked up, and checked where the elevator was now .
Then, he felt something soft press up against his back .
Aoba was holding him from behind .
「What is it, Aoba?」
「Sorry . 」
「No, it’s just…」
「I haven’t grown at all . 」
「Huh?」
「You’ve grown so much Natsuno-kun, and I’m the same as before . 」
「…」
He didn’t know what to say in response at first, but he looked for the words quickly .
What would a normal woman want to be told in a time like this?
Would she want agreement, or disagreement?
Would she want to be cheered up, or be broken down?
Aoba was a normal woman, but she had one thing very different from other women .
That was that she cause Taiyou to make mistaken decisions .
And who saved him in that case was a small fairy .
「Aobchan, Aobchan, is that so wrong?」
「Wrong? What do you mean?」
「Aobchan, you’re Taiyou-chan’s wife, right?」
Upon hearing Hera’s words, Aoba made a face that said, So?
Hera continued .
「You can’t just apologize and beg when you want something as a wife, right? In times like this, you have to apologize with your body . 」
「My body?」
「Yes, desu! I’m sorry master, please punish a naughty little piggy like me…you won’t be forgiven until you say something like that . 」
「Hey, wait, don’t throw weird stuff into the mix . 」
「I have to do something like that?」
「Don’t believe her Aoba . There’s no reason for you to do stuff like that . 」
If she did beg me like that, I’d have trouble, Taiyou thought .
Aoba thought a bit, and then responded .
「So punishment is necessary . 」
「What?」
「If I don’t get punished, I’ll do the same naughty thing over and over . 」
「…I see . 」
Aoba nodded, and seriously thought she would .
There was no reason to deny that humans learned from the process of mistakes and punishment for them .
That would cause growth…and though it was a fuzzy growth that didn’t involve growing experience, it did fit the category of something a man would like .
Goals and means, there was no reason to refuse them .
「I see…so then let’s do that . 」
「You can but first…」
They heard a voice behind them .
He remembered it, the voice of the young man .
He turned to look, and it was Katsuki Nakashima’s amazed face .
