She hesitated for an instant before getting herself back together .

Sakura spoke in a placid tone .

“I don’t understand what you’re getting at . ”

If he hadn’t been the wiser, he might have not noticed her wavering, fooled by her excellent acting techniques .

But Taiyou was neither trying to trick her nor make conjectures .

He had conviction, evidence, and he did not hesitate to thrust it at her .

“ ‘Never thought I’d see the day when I start liking the same man as that girl . ’ “

She was even more visibly shaken than earlier . There was no going back .

After she gaped at Taiyou for a bit, she finally spoke .

“Eavesdropping…no, that can’t be it . ”

“And what makes you say that?”

“Of course it’s because I’m always cautious . I don’t even mutter out loud . ”

Sakura lowered her long eyelashes .

“Yes, I did indeed take good care . I could swear I did . There was not a single instance in which I put it into words or even letters . ”

She then opened her eyes, looking at Taiyou .

Why, then, had Taiyou known this?

“Ruri’s world . ”

Taiyou answered promptly .

Since he had already approached the issue like this, he couldn’t play dumb .

“Tengai Ruri?”

“It wouldn’t be easy to explain this in detail—-ah wait, you’ve experienced it before so I guess not . You’re familiar with how her power works, then?”

“Yes…”

He didn’t bother to ask if she wanted further explanation .

Sakura had known Ruri longer than Taiyou had . Surely she must know more about Ruri’s power and what kind of person she was .

“Would you mind moving away? It isn’t very easy to have a leisurely conversation in this position . ”

“Alright . ”

Taiyou backed off .

Sakura got up, putting her appearance back into order and straightening her posture .

As she did that, Taiyou stared at her . He, too, needed time to sort this out . In a sense, this was like the time when he had first met the triplets . He had been approached, and Ruri had been the one to expose the situation for what it was . It felt very similar .

So he regulated his feelings as he waited for Sakura to begin talking .

“I wonder where I should start from . ”

“What I want to know most is when this began, because I honestly have no clue . ”

“That makes sense, yes . I doubt you would know such a thing . ”

Sakura chuckled . Taiyou felt slightly sullen, feeling like he was being called dull . That wasn’t the case, however .

“I don’t know either, actually . ”

“What? You don’t?”

“Indeed, I do not . The only thing I do know is that it was after New Moon-sama . ”

Sakura chuckled again . Her smile was the same as before, but this time he could tell it was one of self-derision .

“After all, from the very beginning, I was already astonished at the fact that I liked the same man that she did . ”

“Okay, so this was after Youran came to my place . ”

“Not quite . After all, New Moon-sama’s heart was already leaning toward you before you began your fierce onslaught . ”

“Ah, that’s right . She was pretty stubborn after all . ”

“Yes, that she was . Honestly, what kind of parents bring up a kid like that?”

“But it’s actually entertaining how convoluted you two are . ”

“You could just be honest, you know . ”

“No, I think I’ll leave that move up my sleeve in order to raise my chance of success . ”

“In that case, I will wait to see what your move is . ”

“But that would mean a zero percent chance of winning . ”

“Then in exchange, I will let you know that I have lost from the beginning . ”

“…”

The one who falls in love first loses…That was probably what she meant .

Kohaku’s wordplay skills that he had learned really came in handy here .

“So there’s no way I would know when this started happening . ”

“I’ll change the question . When did you start trying to hide your feelings for me?”

“Now that one I can answer . It was when New Moon-sama first began to call you ‘Master’ . ”

“Really now…But why?”

“I do not know . But when I heard New Moon-sama calling you ‘Master’, I began to feel quite strongly about it . ”

“I see . ”
“Well, now that you know everything…What now?”

“What do you want to do?”

“I honestly do not know . ”

Sakura smiled in a lonely manner .

“I did intend to keep it a secret my whole life, after all . ”

“Your whole life?”

“I do have confidence in that area, I’ll have you know . Acting, self-control, it would have all worked out if that Tengai Ruri hadn’t seen through it with her overpowered ability . Therefore, I hadn’t really consider what would happen if someone were to uncover the truth . ”

“Ever fantasized about it?”

“Fantasized?”

“Just plain fantasizing . Not bracing yourself for anything . ”

“Are the two things different from each other?”

“I don’t see why not—-yeah, they’re definitely different . ”

Taiyou nodded, declaring it with confidence .

“For example, let’s say I have a fantasy of stripping down both Youran and Juurokuya at the same time, getting rough with them all night . That would be a fantasy, because I’d probably never do something like that . ”

“Then what about bracing oneself?”

“That would be you being stubborn and not trying to accept your love for me, in which case I could forcibly strip you and at least get your body . That’s what bracing yourself means . ”

“So you’re trying to say that it’s the difference between having a desire and acting on it?”

“I think so . ”

“How awful . If I had planned on being stubborn, you would have raped me?”

Sakura giggled . She was enjoying this .

That was what he liked about her . She could have fun even with conversations like these, which had been the case even before she had liked him, when they had still been enemies . That was why he had been so disappointed when he had invaded the daimyo mansion; he had wanted to hear the joking he was so used to .

By the time he had realized it, he was fixing his eyes upon her .
