Chapter 47: The Seven Brides in Taiyou’s Castle (1/2)

Chapter 46:Uninvited Visitor Chapter 48: Everything in her possession

In a corner of the residential area during the day time.

The vending machines were lined up together. The things place inside of them were all best selling items by the famous manufacturers, and it was a line-up that would sell without much trouble even if no advertisement is done.

Although the line-up was quite standard, the price it had was absolutely not the normal prices. The price that was attached to the buttons were all at 100 yen. (TL: 100 yen is approx 1 USD). From the carbonated drinks which was at least 500ml to the corn soup and even the sweet red-bean soups, all of the commodities had a price range as little as 100 yen per piece.

Not only was the prices unusually low but the vending machines were place in quite the popular location. In this place, a person named Natsuno Taiyou and the Fairy Hera was here.

Taiyou placed a 100 yen coin in the vending machine. Although all the buttons lit up, Taiyou doesn’t press the buttons, instead he pulls the lever to refund his coin. And then the 100 yen coin which was returned to him was once again inserted into the vending machine! The moment the buttons light up, he pulls the lever to refund his money.

The coins were put in, and then the change is pulled out.

The coin was put back in and then the change is pulled out again.

This seemingly useless repetitive set of movements were consistently repeatedly as he performed the actions in silence.

「You over there, what are you doing?」

「Ack」

Taioyu is called by someone from behind and he very slowly turned around. The person who stood behind him was the familiar appearance of a uniform wearing man, or more commonly known as a police officer.

The young policeman seemed to be filled with a sense of justice and a sense of duty, he was looking at Taiyou like he was a suspicious person.

「You….I feel like I’ve seen you before. Have we met before at a different place?」

「Nono, I have never been graced with your esteemed presence in my life, yes yes」

「Taiyou-chan your Japanese is becoming really funny desuyo〜」

Hera who was floating next to him pointed this fact out. Naturally the policeman couldn’t see her appearance, so he continued to question Taiyou.

「Well whatever. More importantly what are you doing? Are you perhaps trying to look for spare change from the machines?」

「Please I’m not doing that. Umm…..All I am doing is putting my own money in and, then taking it out, and then putting it back in again….」

「……」

The young policeman looked at Taiyou with incredibly suspicious eyes, as he slowly moved his hand towards his wireless radio and started to speak in it.

「Reporting in, I am at the foot of the Seikasono Mountain, I’ve detected a suspicious person」

「I’m telling you, you’ve got it all wrong」

Taiyou objects in frustration and he unintentionally hit the vending machine. If it was a little while ago, it would have been to the extent that the vending machine experienced a little shake, but the him right now was a level 7 power fighter.

In just one blow, the vending machine broke down and started to spout out smoke.

「A-are you attempting to resist?」

「Ah…..no this is…」

Taiyou was trying to give an explanation, but the policemen were already beginning to gather around him. The speed in which they gathered together was so fast, like when gangsters called their members. If he was caught right here, without a doubt he was going to be lectured harshly.

No, this time around, he actually damaged the vending machine and broke it, so he might not get away with just a warning. Thinking about the possibility of something like that happening, he grabbed the bag on his feet and immediately ran away as fast as he could.

Behind him, he could hear the angry shouts of the policemen and their footsteps. In order to shake them off, he ran at full speed across the residential area in broad daylight.

Although he did hear the policemen shouting and several horns were ringing, the sound gradually got smaller and before long the sounds all completely disappeared. Somehow he managed to safely escape from the policemen chasing him.

Taiyou arrived to a certain building that wasn’t his apartment… It was a building enclosed in all its sides by a wall at the height level of a person’s waist, and the wooden building which was approximately two stories tall and it had a garden which was unusual for this day and age.

It was the kind of place that he imagined a 20 year old widow woman to be, she would be an wearing an apron and sweeping the leaves with a broom.But what stood there wasn’t a young widow but instead it was a lolibaba.

「Ohh, You’ve finally come back」

Whilst standing at the entrance of the building, Azumaya Kohaku was smiling radiantly as she welcomed Taiyou back. Although her limbs were under developed and was that of a young girls, her intellect and her manner of walking was that of an adult.

「You took such a long time for shopping, did you perhaps lose your way back?」

Kohaku was asking him a question, and Hera who was flying next to him came out and answered instead.

「I’m so sorry nanodesu〜, it was all my fault nanodesu〜」

「Hou, did you have some sort of a secret date or something?」

「That’s not it desuyo, I was training together with Taiyou-chan in order to raise his level desu. But in the middle of it we were interrupted by the police officers so we couldn’t increase it」

「I see, no matter what age we are in, the officials of the country are always dogs who do unnecessary things, so it can’t be helped」

Kohaku nods whilst giggling to herself.

「Well, I’m not too worried, I’m sure I will get the chance to level sooner or later. I already know how to do it so I can go back and do it whenever I want to. More importantly, take this」

Whilst he says so, he handed the plastic bag in his hands to Kohaku. Although Taiyou was being asked by the three sisters and Kohaku to do a bit of shopping, Hera taught him the way to level up to level 8 along the way, and they ended up trying to gain experience.

It was piling up his experience by performing the tedious repetitive work. Most normal people would be discouraged in doing such a repetitive act that yields nothing but frustration, however for Taiyou who was able to level up in real life by performing these acts, it was not at all a bother for him. Therefore, he was thinking of raising his level directly to level 8 but he was obstructed by the policemen who happened to pass by chance and he had to retreat reluctantly.

Kohaku was glancing into the plastic bag which he gave to her. After taking the goods, she asked him a question.

「Come to think of it, you’ve never explained how your levelling thing works, right?」

「I guess I haven’t eh」

「There is a relation with the existence of this girl here right?」

「That’s correct nanodesu〜」

「In that case, I certainly would like to know more about it」

Kohaku was looking straight at Taiyou as she asked for permission.

「Is it alright?」

「Let’s go inside first」
