“Never thought I’d hear you of all people suggest that . ”
Taiyou smiled awkwardly . Just as she herself had said, Kohaku had gone down that path quite a while ago .
“Should I have not said that?”
“No, you’re fine . It was the same with Kohaku, and it’s the same with all of you . Do what you want to . ”
“Laissez-faire?”
“I, guess you could say that . ”
Taiyou reached out and smoothed out a strand of Akiha’s beautiful hair, sifting it between his fingers .
“It’s more correct to say that I realized how great it is to see all of you doing what you love . ”
“Even if it inconveniences you?”
“You assume that it will . ”
“Dummy, of course it might inconvenience you . ”
Akiha pouted a bit .
Taiyou smiled . His fingers ran down to her earlobe, pinching into it as he spoke .
“No mistake about it, in general it’s appealing to have you all do what’s fun for you . And if that somehow inconveniences me or causes mayhem then I can look forward to trying to solve the issue . So either way I prefer you do what you feel like doing . ”
“Well I’ll be . Ye changed . Back then ye were so opposed to the idea, ja . ”
Kohaku said keenly, like a grandma sunbathing on the veranda .
“People grow . Or rather, I want to grow . ”
“You say this like it’s nothing, but I can feel some sort of determination from you . ”
Sakura said, looking straight at Taiyou . ”

“Do you have some sort of reason?”
“You see, humans climbing mountains begin to see the top in more detail the more they climb . You know that saying, right?”
“…The comparison between human growth and the profound nature of the paths they tread . ”
“Yeah . The same as that . ”
He abruptly stopped talking, looking at everyone present .
Taiyou’s brides, the seven brides .
He looked at each of them in order, the women whom he exchanged love with .
“Every time you grow, things you originally couldn’t see become apparent . That’s how it is for me, and every time that happens I see you all for the amazing ladies you are and fall in love with you all over again . I want to see what lies beyond that . So I want to grow more and more . ”
He spoke quietly .
Determination was coursing out from him . Quiet, firm determination to succeed in his goal .
The girls all gaped at him . The majority of them were blushing .
“Natsuno-kun…that’s so unfair . ”
“Unfair? How so?”
“When you say something like that…I’m just a normal girl, and I don’t know what to do about that . ”
“You’re not normal in the slightest, Aoba . Just recently there was that poll among the boys to vote for the most popular girl and you were at the top . ”
“Are you kidding me?”
“Nope . ”
Taiyou nodded with a serious face .
“Some other ones among you were…Kotone, Suzune, Kazane, Kohaku-san, Akiha, and even a mysterious twin-tailed girl…”
“Was that last one me!?”

Youran asked, surprised . Taiyou continued .
“And you were ranked second of all the girls in the academy for the poll among the females . No way someone as popular as you could be normal . ”
“Oho, great job, my dear Aoba!”
“Mine, you mean . ”
“Ehhh, then how about a split end of hair . ”
“Well, I guess that’s okay . ”
Taiyou and Akiha had a little banter . Meanwhile, Aoba’s eyes were wide open like it was a bolt from the blue .
“But it sounds reasonable, ja . But who be the top, ja? Anyone we know?”
“Tenchi Rameko . ”
“””Rameeeko-chan?”””
“Yeah, that was a surprise . ”
“No Leti?”
“She was the top in the teachers . Still somehow made it third place in the students too . ”
“I bet . Her appearance is just perfect . ”
Taiyou and his brides continued their conversation . Aoba was still in shock .
Taiyou grinned at her .
“So if you say that you’re normal too much, everyone here might flip at you . ”
“Eh, uh, uh-huh…Okay, I won’t say it anymore . ”
Aoba nodded obediently .
“Darling…can I say something?”
Ruri approached him .

“What is it? Come to think of it, why have you had your katana out all this time?”
“Enemies are…nearby . ”
“Enemies?”
“Mhm…assassins . ”
“Assassins?”
Ruri nodded quietly .
“Assassins…aiming for you . That sort of thing?”
“Why does that sound like a question? And why me?”
“Ah, that might be my fault . ”
“Possibly me as well . ”
The two Juunishimas said .
“I see, so I imagine they’re from Juuni Island . ”
“Yes . ”
“And where are they right now, incidentally?”
He asked Ruri .
“You can’t see them from here…they’re that way . ”
“You’re right . I feel a strange vibe . ”
Akiha said, apparently having learned that from Ruri .
“Are they going to be a handful?”
“Not if…she can detect them too . ”

“So they’re not worth my time . ”
“Hey, that’s mean! You’re a meanie, Taiyou!”
“Ahhh, sorry sorry . ”
“That pisses me off so I’m just going to go ahead and beat ‘em up . I’ll be right back . ”
Akiha zoomed over in the aforementioned direction with big strides .
“Ruri, just in case . ”
Taiyou said to Ruri, asking for a follow-up . ”
“Okay…leave it to me . ”
Taiyou looked around .
Right around the entrance to the shopping district, Taiyou caught a glimpse of something near a fast food shop .
“Alright, we’ll be in that joint, so meet up with us there once it’s over . ”
“That’s…unfair . ”
Ruri pursed her lips .
“Unfair?”
“After school…a date with Darling . ”
“It hasn’t been a date all these times?”
“Go in the shop…rank up . ”
“Oh…Okay, then I’ll be waiting over there . ”
Ruri’s eyes opened wide, nodding and then chasing after Akiha .
The date was far from over .
