Chapter 49: A Harem that doesn’t allow me to Voice Out my Opinions (1/2)
Chapter 48: Everything in her possession Chapter 50:It's no use crying over spilt milk
「You will dedicate……Your everything?」
Taiyou froze as he muttered out these words. He was 16 years old, and a young boy who was currently in the midst of his puberty. You could say that Taiyou was more mature than the average person in his age group, however, it was not like he was at the level of an enlightened Buddhist monk that could expel all desires.
When a girl says something like “dedicate her everything” as a young pubescent male, he could not help but think of the sexual connotation the words had. In his mind right now, he was fantasizing about Kohaku saying the exact same words, except, she was completely naked and blushing in a cute pose.
「Is that…..so?」
「That is so nanodesu〜」
「You be quiet for once!」
When Taiyou tried to tell Hera to stay out of it, the three sisters started to corner him from the side.
「Taiyou-san I also think that…..I agree with Hera」
「I think that what Hera-chan is saying makes sense」
「After all, I completely understand how Kohaku-san feels」
The girls were saying this as they glanced towards Kohaku.
「–tsu」
Taiyou also turned to look at Kohaku. The moment he did, it was like a hammer hit his heart. Kohaku who was in front of his eyes, was blushing cutely. She looked just like a girl in love. Taiyou was being told off by not only Hera but also the Three sisters. All of them were speaking as if their way of thinking was the only correct one.
Taiyou winced. Even now Kohaku’s expression was one that was about to begin weeping at any moment.
「Am I a bother?」
「That’s not it!」
Taiyou firmly denied it. Because he suddenly spoke with such a large voice, Kohaku was so surprised that she jumped up. She settled down after a while and she timidly asked Taiyou.
「Is that the…. truth?」
The one standing before him right now was not a senior who was experienced in life. It was a lonesome girl who until now had been constantly wounded and was mustering up her last bit of courage to ask if he could accept her. Right now that was the kind of girl Taiyou was seeing in front of him. His feelings began to sprout. The feeling that she was just so precious. Taiyou truly felt that the girl known as Azumaya Kohaku was just so adorable right now. He took a deep breath and after arranging the feelings within his chest, he tried to convey it in his words.
「Yes, it is true. To be frank……I was completely caught off guard when you told me that you would dedicate everything. However, hearing you say something like this…….Makes me really happy」
When he said this, Kohaku burst into tears. Her being this happy with just hearing his words…..made him feel that she had truly been so deprived. Therefore, he wanted to answer her feelings even more, not just using his words.
However, there was one thing that worried him. In this country, it was the norm that the relationship between a man and a woman was mutually exclusive and that it was a first-come-first served basis.
—-Order of arrival.
Thus Taiyou turned around to face the three sisters.
「You guys—」
Before Taiyou was even able to finish his sentence, and without the need to glance at each other, the three sisters promptly answered.
「A little while ago, I think that we have already mentioned this to Taiyou-san」
「Our dream is to make a harem with the person that we fall in love with」
「We know what Taiyou-san is worried about, however, we are on Kohaku-san’s side on this matter」
After hearing this, Taiyou did remember that he was told something like this a little while ago. He certainly did have this told to him, but at that particular time, he thought that they were just playing a practical joke on him or something. He thought that during that time perhaps the girls said it in the heat of the moment…….He did think that humans were impulsive creatures that could sometimes spout ridiculous things.
And at that particular time, he was also a little dazed at the circumstances and he could only partly understand what they were saying. However, right now, the girls clearly repeated the same words again.
Perhaps they really do mean it………? he started to think. Perhaps they read his thoughts from the expression he had on his face, but the girls had a soft smile on their faces as they continued even further.
「The three of us has always planned on falling in love with the same person, getting married and then creating a family together. However, up until now, far from anyone accepting this part of us, many people would have a strange look on their faces just from hearing us mention it」
「For someone like us, Taiyou-san is the first person to ever accept us. Even for people like us, Taiyou-san told us that he loved us. We were extremely happy to hear that, so glad, and even now we feel blessed」
「Even weird people like us…..Could still be loved」
The three girls spoke in a chorus.
「「「We want Kohaku-san to be able to share this feeling as well!」」」
The girls were saying this with extremely earnest expressions. They were seriously asking him….. No, the faces they had looked like they were begging him to listen. They themselves were really happy, and they wanted to share this happiness with others as well. Up until now, Taiyou had never been so shocked. The three sisters who were able to go that far, Taiyou didn’t believe that people like them existed.
「You girls…..」
Taiyou expanded his arms and embraced the three people.
「「「Taiyou-san……..」」」
