The next morning, on the way to school .
Taiyou, Kotone, Suzune, and Kazane were more enthusiastic than usual, and Ruri thought that to be odd .
“You’re…awfully happy . ”
“Are you sure?”
“But I’m pretty sure…”
“We’re the same as always . ”
The three sisters answered in their signature chorus .
They may have insisted on this on the surface, but it was clear as day from how they were grinning .
“No, you’re definitely in a good mood…did something happen?”
Ruri asked again, and the sisters giggled at one another .
“It’s because we were right next to Taiyou all day yesterday . ”
Kazane explained .
“I see…that makes sense . ”
Ruri was about to accept that, but…
“Wait…but Kotone was the one flirting with him . ”
A new doubt flickered in her mind .
“And yet…Suzune and Kazane are also happy?”
“””Of course . ”””

The three sisters answered all at once . They were so in-sync that it was like they were one person .
Ruri tilted her head in confusion .
“That’s just how they are, Ruri . ”
Taiyou had now entered the conversation .
“You haven’t been with us for very long yet, so maybe you’re not used to it . ”
“Is it because…they’re triplets?”
“Yep . ”
Taiyou nodded .
“I was right next to Kotone all day yesterday, but it felt more like I was right next to all three sisters . That’s how it is even when you’re away from two of them . ”
“So then…what if someone gets hurt?”
“Now, I’m not sure about that . ”
“We haven’t gotten injured recently . ”
“Ever since we met Taiyou-san . ”
The three sisters all said, inclining their heads .
When one twin gets hurt, the other twin gets hurt in the same area . If it’s a cut, then even though the other twin wasn’t technically the one who got hurt, a cut will appear in the same area . Reports of such incidents were not uncommon, and that was probably what Ruri was referring to .
“Let me try it out . ”
Suzune said, putting a hand into her bag .
“Try it? How so?”
“Okay, all done . ”

She said, taking out a compact sewing set and a sewing needle before poking her finger with it . Taiyou hadn’t liked where this was going, but decided that this wasn’t too bad .
Blood came dripping out from her index finger . Kotone and Kazane then monitored their fingers .
After a bit…
“Ah, there it is . ”
“Taiyou-san, look, look!”
Red blood came out of their fingers too .
“Yep, I see it’s the same for you three . ”
This would normally be an incomprehensible phenomenon to anyone else, but Taiyou took it in stride .
“Super…strange . ”
“Well that’s just how it is . ”
“But . . strange . ”
Ruri repeated .
Taiyou was about to say that Ruri was stranger, but realized that it was possible that the sisters were a bit higher . Identical triplets was unusual, but not strange . However, in their case, their heights went down from oldest to youngest . Kotone, the eldest, was 150cm, followed by the middle sister, Suzune, at 140cm and the youngest, Kazane, at 130cm .
Much like their height, the growth of their bodies was also different . Standing next to each other, they would appear to be the same person during different growth periods in life . In addition, they could use telepathy and share each other’s wounds .
“Yeah, you girls might be a bit higher on the strange scale . ”
“We are not!”
“Oh Taiyou-san, so rude . ”
“It’s totally normal . ”
The three sisters said in a pouting tone .
“Nah, but I like strange things . Like yesterday, that was amazing . ”

“There we go!”
“That’s our Taiyou-san!”
“Got to have your girls a bit on the strange side, right?”
Their expressions did a 180 . It was always easy to get on their good side .
If Taiyou liked strange things, then if anything, they would prefer to be seen as strange . That was essentially what they were implying .
“I can…do that too . ”
“What do you mean?”
“First…I split myself . ”
Ruri said, splitting herself into three as she would normally do . One of the three forms walked up to Suzune .
“Lend me…that needle . ”
“O-Okay . ”
While not quite sure what she was trying to do, Suzune lent Ruri the needle . Ruri copied what Suzune had done earlier, pricking her finger with it .
“Like this…poke . ”
“And everyone…bleeds . ”
“But faster…than the triplets . ”
“Well yeah, no duh!”
Taiyou quipped loudly .
“With those offshoots, it’s not even about how long it takes because it’s all at the same time!”
“I…was…”

“Fine…today…”
“As…always . ”
This time she attempted to mimic the three sisters, albeit in a joking manner .
“Amazing!”
“It looks like three people from here . ”
“But it’s actually just you moving fast, right?”
“Yes…you are right . ”
“We are…breaking the sound barrier . ”
“But we…can do this too . ”
The three Ruri’s said, holding hands with each of the triplets .
“Y’know, you did this before, but it’s weird isn’t it?”
Taiyou interjected .
“Why is it that you can maintain those forms while holding hands or hugging people?”
“The reasoning…is simple . ”
Ruri responded .
“Just move…faster than humans can detect . ”
“Yeah, kay kay . ”
Taiyou grimaced at the overly simplistic answer . But the simplicity of it all was probably one of the great things about her .
Plus this wasn’t half bad . He had the privilege of essentially walking to school with two sets of beautiful triplets . As the students around him stared in surprise and envy, he relished the sensation .
