“What?”
“Were you just…talking to Shingetsu’s shadow?”
“It’s been a while since I heard that nickname . Yeah, it’s Juurokuya’s shadow . ”
Taiyou nodded .
Shingetsu no Kami’s body double, also known as the shadow that eclipses the full moon, Juurokuya .
“Have you even met her?”
“Probably . ”
“Probably?”
“I know that there is a body double for Shingetsu by the name of Juurokuya . But everyone I’ve met with Shingetsu’s face just looks like her . I never felt like I was speaking to a fake . ”
“That just shows she lives up to her reputation . Heck, you might have just met Juurokuya every time . ”
“Maybe so . ”
“But why the surprise? Youran’s my wife, so it’s not all that strange that we’d have connections with Juurokuya . ”
“It’s okay if you don’t get it . ”
Anna said with a mixed expression . Taiyou was beginning to understand less and less, and he kept his head tilted in confusion .
“But more importantly…I am in your debt . ”
Anna stared straight at Taiyou, lowering her head .
“I didn’t do anything really . Plus I just hear a lot from Pochi . ”
“From Adano?”
“She talked about you . As to what she said…well, since Pochi herself isn’t here right now, I’d better not say anything . ”
“Is that right . ”
“I’m sure she wants to meet you as well . ”
“Hm, I dunno…”
Anna smiled refreshingly .
“Hm? Something came in . ”
Anna said, taking out her phone .
Her face slightly changed color as she looked at the screen .
“What is it?”
“I got contacted practically right away . ”
She said, showing the screen to Taiyou . Her email was on display, the title reading ‘Concerning Adano’ .
“Wow that was fast…why’s your face look like that?”
Taiyou asked as he looked at Anna .
After looking at the mail, Anna had an extremely sour look on her face . He could tell she was forcing herself to smile .
“And I just changed my phone, too…”
“Did you change your number and address?”
“Yeah, but I think I’m still under surveillance . ”
“…”
Taiyou gazed at Anna in silence .
“But you know, that’s fine . Not like I can do anything about it now . If I’m assigned constrained conditions then I’ll simply live out that lifestyle . ”
Anna said with a smile, standing up .
“Hold up . ”
Taiyou stopped her as she did that .
“What is it?”
“Is it really okay?”
“What is?”
“I don’t know . ”
Taiyou said curtly .
“Uhh, okay?”
Anna sniggered, but Taiyou’s eyes were serious .
“Honestly, I don’t know a single thing . I don’t know what happened to your subordinates after the power struggle, what became of them . I don’t know anything . So all I can really do is ask for a rough explanation . ”
Taiyou preambled before repeating the same phrase .
“Is it really okay?”
“Well you’re quite the worrier . Suddenly become a philanthropist overnight?”
“…”
Taiyou stared straight at Anna, not bothering to play along .
They stayed like that for a bit until Anna gave up with a sigh, sitting back down .
“Nothing worth mentioning honestly . ”
“You sure?”
“Rain has always been falling . ”
“…?”
Taiyou cocked his head in confusion . Anna continued to speak with a serious expression .
“Yup, ever since I was born . Not for even a second has it ever stopped . But that’s fine, since I’ve been under an umbrella . ”
“…”
“But now that umbrella has broken . Starting with the cuffs of my pants and ending with the tip of my head, I’ve become drenched . That’s all there is to it . ”
“Isn’t it painful?”
“Not when you get used to it . ”
“Then at what point does the rain stop?”
“It doesn’t . It was just my luck that I was born like this . ”
Anna showed no emotion as she said this .
Resignation, or perhaps acceptance .
“Ever thought of getting a new umbrella?”
“Every umbrella is taken up by too many people . Besides…”
Anna laughed in self-derision .
“No one from Juunishima is weird enough to take in a group that’s done for . ”
“…Not even Youran?”
“Even Shingetsu’s in a difficult position . The higher up you are, the less selfish decisions you can make . ”
“…”
“What, it’s not like this is much different from before . We just became a bit more cramped in the shadows . ”
“That kind of ticks me off . ”
Taiyou was beginning to feel indignant .
Anna was an enemy, so he wouldn’t normally care what happened to her .
But he strongly disliked the situation she was in and how she was under surveillance, yet somehow acted like she was content with that .
Inexperienced? Sure, he certainly wouldn’t disagree with that .
Even after gaining all this power and serving these beautiful girls…
Taiyou was still just a mere high schooler at heart .
“…So are you only interested in umbrellas that Juunishima can offer?”
“What’re you talking about?”
“What I’m asking is, would I qualify as an umbrella?”
Taiyou stared straight at Anna who showed an astonished expression .
