“Oh? You’re not denying it, I see . ”
Even Sakura was having fun with this conversation .
“Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing . ”
He responded in a joking manner, no longer hesitating .
“Oh dear, what a terrible person . ”
“If I could, I’d like to not only strip your real clothing off, but the clothing you wear in your heart as well . ”
“My mistake . You aren’t a terrible person, you’re a sex fiend . ”
“I didn’t think you’d say that, but okay . ”
“Sure, why not? That’s what I would call someone who seeks to strip someone of the armor worn for years in their heart . ”
“I see, maybe you’re right . ”
Taiyou said, nodding .
“So, you still haven’t answered my question . ”
“You mean the conversation about fantasizing?”
“Yeah . ”
“I have done no such thing . ”
Sakura declared .
Taiyou was surprised, because he had not anticipated the answer, nor the way in which it was delivered . She had given such an immediate, direct answer that he was stunned .
“You sure?”
“Yes, indeed . ”
“Is it okay if I ask why? If there is a reason of course . ”
“Alright then…”
This time, she slightly hesitated .
Taiyou waited . There did seem to be a reason, so he intently poised himself to listen .
At length, finally ready to speak, she began her confession .
“I am a fragile woman, you see . ”
“Sarcasm?”
“No . ”
“I don’t…really get it . ”
“I mean that it’s easy to avert my eyes from the truth, but once I begin to face it, I cannot stop myself . ”
“…Ahh . ”
He somewhat understood what she was trying to say . Even Taiyou himself had experienced something like this . Knowing nothing made him feel at ease, but as soon as he realized the truth, he would constantly fret over it .
“Hence why I always did what I could to not fantasize over it . After all, I would be fine as long as I didn’t let that happen . ”
“Oh…”
Taiyou nodded with a serious look on his face before asking her a question .
“So that’s all you thought after suppressing your feelings? ‘To think it would like the same man that girl does’ ?”
“Indeed, that is correct . ”
“And that’s a problem of the heart? You weren’t influenced by any outside factors?”
“Well you’re on quite the offense today . ”
Sakura said before she looked up at the ceiling . After a moment, she made a lonely face and spoke again .
“Yes, I wonder . ”
“You wonder?”
“Well, I did say this earlier . That I did my best to not think about any of that . ”
“Right…”
“So I also averted my eyes from the reason . I no longer know anything . Besides—-”
Sakura said, lifting up the corner of her mouth . It was the saddest, loneliest face he had ever seen her make .
“I’m a woman with heavy baggage . ”
“Heavy baggage…”
“Indeed . Heavier than any woman in your possession, and heavier than any woman you can imagine . ”
“Really . ”
“So I’m sure that—-”
“But you know…”
Sakura was about to continue saying something when Taiyou cut her off .
“Is this heavy baggage of yours something that would hurt everyone else?”
“Huh?”
“Would it cause you to point a spear at the six wives I have?”
“…”
“I’d prefer it if you answered me honestly . ”
“…Probably not . ”
“It would not?”
“No, it would not . However, stabbing you or slicing off a certain part of your body while you sleep and nuking it in the microwave is completely plausible . ”
“Now that’s just scary in and of itself . ”
He could feel a shiver run through his lower body .
Taiyou grinned, continuing the conversation .
“Then, no problem . ”
“Really now?”
“Not for me at least . ”
Taiyou declared .
“Objective and method . ”
“Ah, you like using that phrase, don’t you?”
“The objective in this case is to acquire you and to make all of my brides happy . I really don’t care about much else in comparison . ”
“That’s so like you . ”
“But that’s also the most difficult thing right now . Youran’s existence seems to create a conflict with this situation . We have to figure out how to dispel this conflict . ”
“…”
“What should we do? What should I do?”
He asked, but Sakura did not answer . Taiyou waited patiently .
Silence filled the room . Nothing could be heard other than their breathing . Taiyou almost felt like it was so silent his ears hurt .
During that time, Taiyou gazed at Sakura, patiently waiting for her to speak again .
“Darling…you’re naive . ”
“—-!”
Someone had suddenly intruded on their conversation .
Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw Ruri standing on the veranda .
Taiyou stood up, opening the sliding window frame .
“Why’re you here?”
“I sensed…someone’s hesitation . ”
“Hesitation?”
“Because I’m…connected with Darling . ”
“Connected? You mean via the heart or whatever?”
“Mhm…heheh . ”
Ruri puffed out her chest .
He would have never guessed that this mischievous gesture of hers would look so adorable .
“But what did you mean by naive?”
“Just what I said…you are naive, Darling . ”
“No, I’m asking how I’m naive . ”
“The sun and…the north wind . ”
“…Pretty sure I’ve been the sun my whole life, yes . ”
“Darling…you fail as the sun . ”
“Wha?”
“Double…meaning . ”
“Are you replacing me as the sun or what?”
He asked, ignoring her previous statement .
“Mhm…just watch me . ”
Ruri began glowing, her hair fluttering .
