Riaru de Reberu Age Shitara Hobo Chītona Jinsei ni Natta Vol 1 Chapter 37

「Isn’t it fine, besides, this kind of thing won’t work against you anyways」

Youran replies to Taiyou whilst still having her hand on her firearm, the size seemed to fit right into the palm of her hand, and if one were to look closely at the materials it was white and metallic, and when it was shot earlier, there was barely any sound coming out of it, in all aspects it was a special man made weapon.

「What is going jya?」

Different from Youran who was finally convinced, Kohaku was surprised at the spectacle which occurred before her. There was little wonder, after all, when the gun was fired a sound to the extent of a person farting came out, and most importantly, the bullet which was fired at Taiyou’s private parts fell harmlessly towards the ground.

Having just been fired right in between his groins but acting nonchalantly as if nothing happened, it was impossible for someone to not be surprised at this development.

「I don’t really know the details behind it, but this fellow is seemingly immune to projectile weapons. Pistol, Shotgun, Machine-gun, Rocket Launcher…………I’ve seen him be impervious to these kinds of things」

「Was it like that? Well if someone were to come at me with a bomb, even I wouldn’t know what would happen」

Well now that they have already found out this much, Taiyou felt there was no meaning to pretend being dumb anymore and he just admitted it obediently.

He remembers the events which occurred during the morning he went to the Junishima Mansion. At that time various firearms were being shot at him and the Rocket Launcher that impacted the ground near his feet caused a huge cloud sand to appear.

「I suppose that’s true. So, bullets don’t work on you?」

「If the best hit man in the world used his rifle on me, it might work」

Taiyou was cracking jokes, without shifting in complexion in the slightest, Youran just ignored him and looked the other way. As expected, it would seem that she didn’t really enjoy these kind of conversations. She slides her gaze to Hera who was standing on the side and started to ask her.

「Is it true?」

「Yes 〜, Taiyou-chan is immune to all long ranged attacks desuyo〜」

「Hou, does he even possess such a strange ability? What a convenient thing jya」

「Is the reason he has his powers because of you?」

「It’s because Taiyou-chan really worked hard desuyo〜」

「Is that so. Long distance won’t affect him, how about short distance attacks? For instance what if I were to slap him in the face, what would happen? 」

「Well the thing is 〜」

In mid-sentence Hera flies towards Taiyou’s groins.

「Why are you always aiming for this spot?!」

Taiyou grabs unto Hera and grips her tightly, and he threw her away in the opposite direction with all his strength. Hera was screaming out in a loud voice “Ah〜Ree〜” as she flew away and vanished into the yonder.

「I see, I guess even just a little while ago, you were collapsed in agony」

「Uu」

「I understand, though all kinds of long distance attacks are nullified, if a direct close range attack landed, you would be just an vulnerable as anyone else jya」

「At that time when you threw away Shirokiyami into safety, you had full confidence in your power to survive the frontal attack, didn’t you? I also heard you mentioned that『Even if a nuclear bomb was launched at me, perhaps I would remain unharmed』」

「It would seem that you would live longer than a century jyano」

Youran and Kohaku was having a noisy discussion about his abilities, when he suddenly felt a staggeringly bad premonition.

It felt like he was

slowly being stripped off all his clothes, by the two women, and more importantly, he felt like the discussion was going into a place where it cannot be allowed.

The two of them did not know of Hera’s existence until a little while ago. And now, even his skill had been exposed.

Both of them were very quick witted women, when information was given, one after another they would solve the pieces of the puzzle and it would spark more ideas.

「The reason why you would bring this man along, I have completely understood now」

「Me too, finding out that bringing him along was the right choice makes me feel relieved 」

「As for me, I am just so glad that the amount of people I can converse with has increased desuyo〜」

Before he noticed it, Hera was already back and mingling with the conversation of the two girls. He was almost tempted to throw her away again.

「Now then」

After coming to terms with the topic, Youran had a serious look on her face.

「It is about time jya」

They were playing around a while ago, but now they were indifferent.

With the guidance of Kohaku, both Youran and Taiyou were being led into the research facility.

Kohaku used her biometric authentication to enter the building, and inside it was unpopulated, according to Kohaku’s source of information, for some reason or other, the researchers had withdrawn from the facility from midnight till six o’clock in the morning. Inside the building however, the Eternal little who was cooperating with the researchers were still here somewhere.

Though it was obvious they were experimenting with them somehow, he didn’t really know the particulars.

The certain thing was the fact that there was nothing else here besides the eternally little.

(I can’t really see where the eternally little are…..Is it possible that there are still other things to discover here?)

They were walking along the building where all they could here was their own footsteps.

The woman who was leading them was still wearing her see-through one piece dress. Although at the start when he first met her, he was anxious about her appearance, Taiyou did not have any lecherous thoughts. However since she took advantage of him with the kiss, he started to see her in a different light.

To be precise, he became transfixed with her ass. It was completely transparent and he could see her buxom small ass from behind.

Somehow or other, her swaying hips were truly captivating and Taiyou felt that blood was rushing into his groin area.

At the same time, he felt a faint sense of guilt and he inadvertently turned his eyes away……..However, besides him Youran was there.

Youran was clearly glaring with scornful eyes at Taiyou.

「………Lolicon」

「—-tsu!」

Taiyou couldn’t find any words to say, and his face reddened. After one moment, he desperately tried to object.

「D, don’t call me a Lolicon! I don’t have that kind of weird complex! Besides this person is way older than me, and instead of a Loli she would be—」

Taiyou was trying to explain his side of the story, and Youran only watched him with indifferent cold eyes.

「Why are you becoming to flustered? Normally you are so cool-headed. Don’t tell me, did I hit it right on the mark? 」

「–Tsu!」

「Taiyou-chan are you a Lolicon desuka〜? In that case, what do you think about me 〜? 」

「You are out of the question!」

「Then are you saying, that Kohaku is within your sights? Are you aiming for her? 」

「No no, that’s not what I meant」

At the rate this was going, he felt that he would be branded a lolicon, and he would have to bear the dishonorable shame.

As a man, it was the one thing that he did not want to bear. If he gets careless here, more so than wrestling in embarrassing pants, he would receive a big psychological damage.

Taiyou was completely caught out of guard, on the contrary Youran was calm and composed.

「Well, don’t worry about it, I don’t really care if you are a Lolicon or whatever, as it doesn’t concern me. Since the start I’ve always disliked you, besides this fact won’t change even now」

「I’m telling you it’s a misunderstanding」

「Kukuku, Please don’t fight over me」

Kohaku who was walking ahead of them stifled a laughter.

「You don’t really have to add fuel to the fire you know!」

「Kufu, my bad. But since I’ve been born as a woman, I’ve always wanted to say such a line jya」

「Is that really so 〜?」

「Umu, Well there are also a couple of other ones as well. For example 『I want to drink the miso soup that you made』or 『It’s touching me, idiot!』or『Oi, can you grab it for me, you know that thing ?』or 『 Even if you said that you disliked it, look at how wet this place has become』those kind of things」

「Hehh, so women actually have those kind of things that they want to say desune〜?」

「Don’t be fooled, that is obviously a joke or her own personal twisted hobby」

「Kukuku, it’s been found out ? Well, they are all my personal desires jya」

「Are those kind of useless things your only ambitions in life?!」

「Well I suppose I can admit that they are worthless, after all they are all dreams that cannot be achieved」

「Dreams to fulfil?」

Taiyou looked doubtful and certainly amongst her six dialogs Kohaku wanted to say, he didn’t really understand why she wanted such weird dreams fulfilled, however she could probably get away with the 『It’s touching me, idiot!』phrase.

As for the rest, he wasn’t entirely sure what the heck she was trying to achieve by saying them.

「You know about how we are called the eternally little right? At same time, are you aware of the other term the “old housemaids”? 」

「Ahh, I have been curious about that for a while. I’ve heard people saying it before, but what exactly is this thing called the “old housemaids?” and what does it mean? 」

「Are you aware of the Old Maid ?」

「Ha?」

Taiyou leaked a stupendous voice. For a second, the topic changed and he thought that he had misheard what she actually said.

It was like you turned several pages of a book all at once, that kind of feeling.

「The old maids? Are you referring to the Old maid card game? 」

「Umu, Am I wearing any clothes underneath? Or am I not wearing any clothes, that kind of game nojya」

「That ain’t the old maid card game, that’s different type of card game isn’t it?」

「Kukuku. Well the thing is. The old maid card game originally came from a game called the old housemaid game. It is a truly old game, the cards we used to play didn’t even have the same shape as the one’s we use nowadays, it was the times when jokers didn’t exist jya. The object of the game is to not be the one with the only queen at the end. And the person who is left with the queen loses—」

「so granny…..You are an old maid? 」

「Exactly. Old maids are women who has remain unsold…..or another way to put it is they are women who missed the marriageable age. We are the left over queen’s jyayo」

「What a harsh way to put it」

「I suppose it is jya. Well, as you can see, we the eternal little have this sort of external appearance. Throughout my whole life, I will retain this youthful appearance. As you can see I appear to be too young and naturally there is no one who would desire me as their companion」

「Is that so? No wait, how about all the lolicon’s out there–」

「If someone was to ask for my hand in marriage…. No even if they only became a companion, it would be good enough. In this society there is no one who is willing to confess that they are a lolicon to the world. As a man, there is rarely anyone who would want to burden the shame of being branded as such. Having the courage to proclaim that they are lolicon and losing their reputation, and having a lolicon complex is a completely different thing」

「……..」

「For us eternally little, the ratio to get married is roughly around 5%, that is a ratio of one in every twenty people. Other than that, it’s about the fact that the man will continue to grow older. This kind of rumor spreads and soon enough, we the eternally little, were branded with a derogatory term of the old housemaids」

「Unsold stuff…. nanodesuka〜? 」

「Well as one would expect, with that kind of term attached to your name, not many people would want to be associated with it」

Hera and Youran joins the conversation.

After listening to Kohaku’s speech, he went into deep thought.
