Chapter 15: Three girl’s makes a Harem (1/2)
Chapter 14: Thick and Thin Chapter 16: Protecting Loved Ones
At Night: Taiyou dashes through the shopping district. He ran so fast that he would almost crash into the surrounding pedestrians, or sometimes he would stumble over the maintenance holes/manholes, but he ignored all this and continued to follow Hera as fast as he could.
「Hey Hera, are the girls are safe?」
「Yes, They are safe〜」
Hera answers me in a very carefree manner. Taiyou responded to Hera’s comment with an “is that so?”, and as expected he was worried for the girls wellbeing. Hearing it from Hera was one thing, but unless he actually confirmed it with his own eyes, it was not possible for Taiyou to feel relieved.
Whilst keeping such feelings inside him, Hera was guiding him towards a place that he was deeply familiar with.
「Isn’t this………The apartment I live in? 」
「Yes desu〜. ummm…….」
Hera was floating in the air and looking around for the three sisters. Before she was able to find them, the girls themselves appeared.
「Taiyou-san!」
Although he only heard one voice, it was their speciality of being able to speak all at the same time. Immediately after, the figures of the girls could be seen dashing from the shadow of the building.
It was the peculiar identical triplets.
The three people with the same face: Kotone, Suzune and Kazane simultaneously appeared and rushed over towards Taiyou.
「Uwaaa!」
They came up really close to him and all at once they pounced/jumped on him. Pressed by the sudden weight of all three girls combined, Taiyou’s lower body was slightly strained.
Due to the abrupt action of the girls he lost his balance, he was in a position where the three girls were laying on top of him like he was some sort of table. Crash, Boom, bang! Sounds like this were heard as he fell over.
「Uwaaaannn, Taiyou-san…….Taiyou-san! 」
Kotone repeatedly called out his name with a loud voice. She was holding to his right hand firmly like a childish young girl.
The other girls were also in a similar position. The second tallest girl Suzune was wrapped around his waist like a toddler and Kazane who was the smallest of the trio was holding on to his left arm. Being tightly gripped in a snake like hold by the three, Taiyou could barely move a muscle let alone try to get up.
No, If he really wanted to try and get up he could easily do it, this is because, due to leveling up, his strength level’s as quoted by the white girl is “beyond the laws of nature, a strange power” If he was motivated enough to get up, he could stand with all three girls still stuck to his body.
However, he did no such thing. Previously when they were escaping, Taiyou said to the girls “Leave this to me, you guys should head off first”, these kind of words were usually a precursor to the death of a character in many films, and without a doubt this caused the girls to become really worried about him.
Therefore, he let the girls do as they pleased for a little while.
「Kyaah!」
Suddenly, Kotone let out a scream. Checking to see what had happened Taiyou gazed in her direction, Kotone had a surprised expression on her face as she looked at Taiyou’s hand and her own clothes.
After looking at the situation he understood what she was so shocked about.
The wound he received in the palm of his hands from the white girl, was not yet completely healed. Due to her being glued to his body so closely, there was a sticky patch of red blood that was attached to her clothes.
The amount of blood that was flowing from his hands were almost like a horror scene where the characters would smear blood all over the glass windows. She released another scream.
「Koto-chan! What’s wrong?!」
「Taiyou-san’s hands, is this…..Perhaps a cut wound? 」
「The wound seems quite deep……..Wo, wont it become infected? 」
「I think it looks alright……The cut was clean. Suzu-chan, Handkerchief」
「Here you go」
Kotone received a white handkerchief from Suzune, she folded it into layers and wrapped it around Taiyou’s palms. She proceeded to wrap it around his arms in more layers and pressed tightly to stop the bleeding.
「Itatatata, wha, what are you doing?」(Note: itatata= ouch, ouch ouch)
「Please endure it, I’m stopping the bleeding. Suzu-chan, Kaza-chan, you guys hold his wrist」
「Yes!」
「I understand!」
The two listened to their older sister and grabbed unto Taiyou’s wrist. Their grip was as strong as a vice.
「You guys….What on earth…..」
「Because the wound is not dirty, we can put off disinfecting it for a while longer」
「Yeah, First we need to stop the bleeding」
「If we don’t it may get dangerous due to blood loss」
「Ahh…..You guys want to stop my bleeding by applying pressure? 」
Taiyou finally understood their actions. Although disinfecting the wound was also an important process, to normal people when they lose as much blood as him, it is likely that they will go into cardiac arrest and die. The analogy of disinfection is like, if you don’t eat food for 1 week the most that will happen is you will starve, however, if a human doesn’t drink water for a mere 3 days they will die, it was similar to that.
The concept behind their actions was precisely to stop the bleeding first before later disinfecting the wound,
「You guys, are really good at this. Where did you learn such a thing? 」
Even though he asked, the girls didn’t respond to him.
It wasn’t like they were ignoring him, on the contrary it was the opposite.
They were so focused on their job in tending to him that they couldn’t respond. They were so worried for him when they saw the wound that they couldn’t hear his voice when he spoke.
It was almost as if they were tending to their own wounds……..No it was even more dedication than that, they were desperately trying to stop the bleeding of his palms.
「……..It’s really warm」
Suddenly, such an impression leaked from his mouth.
He said those words spontaneously, and from the depths of his heart, he really felt like it was filled with warmth.
Kotone was applying pressure on his palms, whilst Suzune and Kazane was gripping around his wrist to slow the blood flow. Although he was gripped so tightly, their hands felt really warm to Taiyou.
Suddenly, he began to notice something.
The palpitations of a beating heart.
It was different from his own heartbeat. From the three girls, their heart beats was getting conveyed to him from their hands. Surely enough, although they were three separate people the three sisters had the exact same rhythm of heart beats.
