「Well, If you don’t really know the answer, than it’s fine. The three girls aren’t classified as the Eternally Little, besides I’m going to crush that plan without fail. The thing I said about them being perpetually young won’t happen anyways, so don’t worry about it」

「………You plan to crush them? Wasn’t it your plan to just give me the vital information? 」

Though Taiyou feels caught up in Yurikago’s words, this only lasted momentarily.

「Ahh is that so? You want to leak out the information to me so that I will be your 『Means』of destroying them」

「That’s right, allow me to tell you that “using” you is just a『means』, the 『objective』is to completely destroy the plan/project 」

「Is that so? I understand」

Taiyou nods, on the contrary Yurikago who had so easily persuaded Taiyou to accept her proposition of making use of him was really bewildered.

「What? Are you just going to let me make use of you? 」

「Yea, I am」

「Are you really alright with that Taiyou-san?」

One of the triplets next to him, interjected in the conversation. Their faces were filled with surprise towards Taiyou, and towards Yurikago it was a mix of distrust and antipathy.

「It’s fine」

「But, didn’t she just say that she was just using you?」

「Moreover we don’t really know the true colors of this person」

「I think it’s too dangerous to trust her」

「……..I understand where you guys are coming from」

「In that case—」

「However, for the time being, our 『Objectives』coincide with each other. And the most important thing is that, her 『Means』to accomplish that objective, includes the plan to protect you girls from harm」

「After all, that is just one of my 『means』So depending on the situation, that may change in the future」

「I know, but protecting the girls will put you in the least riskiest scenario, right? In other words, it will be your most preferred method/means」

「That is not exactly the case, it is better to say that this plan will be the easiest to settle later on」

「That is exactly why your 『objectives』are in line with mine」

「Well, I suppose that seems to be the case」

Yurikago acceded to the statements and stopped arguing. After silencing her, Taiyou continued to talk to the triplets again.

「It’s just like you heard, at the very least she plans on keeping you guys away from danger………The “means” she has in mind and the “objective” that I have are the same. Therefore, even if we join hands I think that it should be fine」

「But……」

「The enemy of your enemy, is not really your ally but you can at least make use of them…..Recently I heard such a saying which I thought applies to our situation right now. I also endorse such an idea. Going according to such an idea I feel like I can trust her……No have confidence that I can trust her」

「……」

The triplets just listened, whilst floating a worried expression.

The three sisters had a face that seemed to want to say something. They don’t completely accept Taiyou’s reasoning, but at the same time, they don’t want to blatantly voice out their complaints.

Looking at their faces, Taiyou thought that at least for now, this plan was adequate.

And once again, he faced Yurikago

「That’s how it is」

「Yea, I got it. Even so, both you and I may be more similar than I thought」

「I’m hoping that we can get along…..At the very least until this particular case is settled」

「In that regards, I am the same」

「Well, let’s go over the more concrete details, shall we? Not about the content of the information. …….But, I want to know, what is the plan you have in store for me? 」

「I want you to come along with me, and steal information」

Yurikago’s pupils were shining with fire as she said those words, she was like a carnivorous animal that was eyeing her prey.

At night, the hands of the clock were about to face up.

Taiyou and Yurikago was in a town called Gyoushika Gouroku. Gyoushika was a town that existed on the borders of Seikasono town, and in between the towns there was a mountain called Mt. Futagoyama Mountain which spanned over 100 meters in height.

They were near the research facility that was in Gyoushika.The two people were in a building that was able to oversee the research facility from a long distance away.

Right now Taiyou was accumulating experience points by taking of his coat and putting back on again. Next to him, Hera was silently watching over him.

He didn’t know what to expect from here on out, so he thought that he should continue to raise his abilities even if only a little.

Although there was only Yurikago with him right now, he was actually raising his level in front of her. In more normal circumstances, he would never do such an action in front of others, however, just this once he thought that it was necessary in order to accomplish his objectives.

「Although this may be trivial of me to ask, is there any significance to your current actions?」

「I’m getting stronger」

Yurikago was just staring at him in silence for a while but, she finally got curious enough to ask him what he was doing.

Taiyou responded to her question in a joking tone.

「Kung fu?」

「That’s right」

「…….You, do you actually think that something you watched in some anime could be applied to real life? 」
