Chapter 39: The Key to a Successful Harem (1/2)
Chapter 38:Grade-schooler level of Command Chapter 40: A Means to and End
For a while, Taiyou just stared at her.
The sweet atmosphere wraps around him and tempts him.
Even though the little girl in front of his eyes, looked to be 10 years old, he felt like it was also not right to call her an 87 year old woman either.
There was only one thing in his eyes……..She was just a girl.
Her pulse was transmitted to him, from the place where their skin touched skin.
Her pulse was warm, as if it was delivering her feelings right to him.
The strength and speed of the pulse continued to increase, it was the peculiar rhythm of a person who feels nervous.
Taiyou knew what it meant, in the past few days, he understood what that rhythm represented.
「……」
Because he understood, Taiyou broke off the atmosphere and he gently pulled her body off him.
「You……?」
Her small face was raised, Kohaku who was waiting for a kiss expectantly opened her eyes, For a while, she just stood there and watched Taiyou’s face in surprise, however before long, her pupils were dyed with the color of disappointment.
「Well, I suppose that’s how things would turn out. For an old baba like me…….」
「That’s not it」
Taiyou interrupted Kohaku’s self-deprecation.
「In truth, my heart was beating really fast, regardless of your appearance, and regardless of your inside, nothing mattered and I was just in the moment……..and I wanted to do it」
「Then, why didn’t you?」
In response to Kohaku’s words, Taiyou shook his head slowly.
「I already, have three girlfriends. They are three women who think of themselves as one entity. I want to be honest with them. That’s why, it isn’t possible for me to accept you」
「However, I’ve heard that those girls wanted you to create a harem」
「That was just my own selfishness, and it is a thing that I need to clarify with them later on」
Taiyou looks straight into Kohaku’s eyes as he continued to talk.
「Even if I wanted to get together with another woman, I would need the girls agreement, and also my own approval. ……In addition, if in the future more people are involved, I want everyone to consent before more are added to the harem. I want everyone to acknowledge and be together peacefully, I want to have that kind of relationship」
「……」
「That’s why, right now I can’t do it」
「Is that so?」
Kohaku nods her head and quietly parts from Taiyou.
「You are seeking a polyamory, aren’t you?」
「Polyamory?」
Hearing words he wasn’t accustomed to hearing, Taiyou tilts his head.
「Haven’t you heard of these words being mentioned by the gay and lesbian community? Similar to their principles, when three or more people love each other, at that time, everyone’s consent is necessary for the relationship to flourish, it’s that kind of principle」
「Is there such a thing?」
「Isn’t this the exact principle you just stated?」
「No, what I mean is, is such a thing prevalent in this world, or has it been done successfully before?I mean, I’m not too fond of gays or lesbians……but, there is a huge amount of people like them, right? 」
「Well, it isn’t something that is remarkable. Even now, polygamy is known worldwide, or it could even be said that by ethnic groups, people who do polyandry exceeds 70 percent」(TL: polyandry, for those that don’t know is a practice of one woman taking two or more husbands, AKA reverse harem)
「Eh?」
「Well, I suppose that is the magic of numbers, when I compare it to the population of the world, the number becomes 10 percent or less. This is because, the people who follow polygamy are still in the minorities」
「Ah, is that what you meant?」
「Let’s come back to it. Hearing you talking about polyamory……..I’ve remembered a race of people who follow that principle」
Taiyou nods. Looking at him, Kohaku lets out a sweet smile. As if she was fascinated by him, it was a gentle smile.
「Then, I shall wait for you to get the acknowledgement of the girls. By the way, I will protect my chastity so please don’t be worried」
「……….Thank you 」
「The one who should be saying thanks is me 」
Kohaku was smiling contently.
He had a premonition, it was the hunch that Kotone and the girls would gladly accept Kohaku.
Even so, Taiyou wanted to hear their opinions first before making a decision. Taiyou wanted to stay true to his convictions.
However that “conviction” is one of the walls that stand in between Kotone and the girls, and Taiyou had not yet realised this fact.
「Nee nee, Taiyou-chan, Taiyou-chan〜」
「What is it?」
「If, I get the permission of Kotone and the girls, will you also let me into your harem?〜」
「Eh?
Taiyou was blankly staring at Hera, losing his words. He didn’t expect such a question so he lost his words.
「I mean, weren’t you talking about obtaining permission just now?」
「Well, I mean it was but……」
「Then, there is a possibility for me too desuyone?〜」
「No no…….. 」
「When his lolicon complex is aggravated this is how he acts eh」
