「Wow, beautiful . 」
「Yup!」
Aoba and Akiha stood looking through the window glass and were struck by the beauty of the scenery .
They were 15 miles from Oritachi, in Sendai City . This city had the most population, and it was bustling .
They were on the top floor of a skyscraper, in a restaurant .
Taiyou had invited Aoba and Akiha there .
They were in a very large private room, in a very expensive place .
He looked at the two looking out into the night sky, and remembered when he and Aoba had first arrived at his castle…it was all so nostalgic .
「Customer, would you like your meal now?」
The waiter asked, and the seated Taiyou placidly nodded .
「Yes, please . 」
「Just a moment . 」
The waiter bowed, and the two girls returned to their seats .
When they sat down, another waited pushed their chairs into the table without a sound .
「Wow, this is something . Hey, Aoba, do you come to places like this often? Atsuko and the others like places like this, you know . 」
「My mothers come to places like this, but this is the first for me . 」
「Oh, really?」
Akiha looked a bit surprised .
「They told me that in the future, you should take the people you like to places like this . 」
「Well, I know, but Atsuko and the others can be a little cold . They were always like that . 」 Akiha said .
「So you’ve known them long?」Taiyou asked .
「Yeah . 」
Akiha smirked at him and threw up a peace sign .
It was very much like her to overreact to a simple conversation .
「I even had a time when I was living with Aoba . 」
「Oh…when was that?」
「When was it…hey, Aoba, when did I start living with you?」
「I think around first grade, I can’t recall . 」
「Was it around then? Yeah, I guess so . Or maybe around kindergarten . 」
The conversation between the two began to blossom .
「That reminds me, why did you invite me here?」
「Same as last time, is that okay?」
「Well, before was an amusement park, but now you should be alone with Aoba . 」
「Is that bad?」
「Is this a set-up?」
「You guessed it . 」
Taiyou thought a bit . Instead of beating around the bush with a girl like Akiha, it would be better to be straight with her .
He took the wine glass the waiter had provided and sipped from the grape juice inside, and said:
「I want you . 」
「For my fighting strength?」
「What fighting strength?!」
Taiyou reacted loudly .
His head even hurt a bit .
Today, he had come to persuade Akiha .
He asked Youran to set up this expensive place for him, and then used Aoba as bait to get her there .
It was a beautiful view, and expensive restaurant, then, I want you .
「So anyway…fighting strength…you…」
「Agh…this is Akiha, so just say it, Natsuno-kun . Also, it’s not entirely separate from the idea of fighting strength either . 」
「That’s among us in the family though . 」
「What, what?! So you really do want fighting strength?」
Akiha’s eyes sparkled, and she was hooked .
As a reaction, Taiyou’s head did start to pound .
「Why are you getting excited all of a sudden?」
「Well, because it’s interesting, right? Any way you look at it . 」
「So interesting is the important thing?」
「For me it is . 」
「I know, but, too bad, it’s not . 」
Taiyou held his breath a bit, and made a serious face looking straight at Akiha .
「It had nothing to do with interesting…I just want you . 」
He used the same words, and this time with emotion .
「Let’s just be friends . 」
Akiha said with a quick bow .
「That was fast . 」
「Aoba…Aoba are you okay with that? Well, that’s a dumb question, you’re Aoba, after all . 」
「Yes . 」
「Why do you think that way? Why me?」
「I’ve thought it over . 」
Taiyou looked straight ahead, with a piercing gaze looked at Akiha, and said .
「Why? There are two answers to that question . One is because you’re close friends with Aoba . 」
「Because I’m friends? What does that mean? You just want to have sex with two close friends?」
「I didn’t think about that . No, I, my harem has women that stick together strongly, and what makes that happen is that they all do their best to strengthen one another . I think that’s very important . I want to make that connection as strong as possible, and the links as close as I can . Even if one connection is cut, another one forms in time for the other to heal . 」
「I see . 」
Akiha understood .
After seeing Aoba’s family, she would understand it, Taiyou thought .
「And one more reason . 」
「Yes, what is it?」
「Because I really do love you, I noticed . 」
「Whaa?」
Akiha’s composure seemed to crumble .
Her bright and cheerful face was taken aback, and now replaced by something close to surprise .
「I thought about it, and I noticed that I really do love you . I know I should think more about it, but instead I decided to just lay it all out on the table . Wait, I thought, am I really in love with this girl? I realized . 」
「What are you saying?!」
「Yeah, I love you, I guess . Just a normal conversation . 」
「Whaaaaaa?」
For a second Akiha’s face became as red as a boiled octopus .
She jumped up, and her chair fell with a clunk .
「A…Are you being honest, Natsuno-kun?」
「Yes . 」
「REALLY?」
Akiha asked him again .
「Really . 」
Taiyou smiled and looked at Akiha .
「Akiha Aoba . I love you, honestly, and I’d like you to be mine . 」
He said while gazing at Akiha .
In front of one of his wives, he proposed to her best friend .
