Chapter 54:A Brides Power/ A person should know their own limits

Chapter 53: The Power of a Bride and their Idolized Master Chapter 55: A Brides Power/ If you want to Succeed then you've got to Aim Higher?!

Noticing this figure, Taiyou was completely shocked. There was a 65535 and next to it in brackets a figure of -16383. At first if this was to appear next to the Harem stat he wouldn’t know what it meant, but considering the effects of his new passive skill, he had a general idea of what it meant.

Although at first glance the figures don’t make sense, but 16383 was actually 25% of 65535. He was able to know this at once. What he didn’t understand was why, there was a negative sign next to this maxed out stat. He was thinking about such a thing whilst still hugging the three sisters. Getting curious about this he asked for Kohaku’s opinion.

「What’s wrong nojya? You are making a face that seems like a pigeon just got rejected by it’s mate」

「What kind of a face is that….? No that’s not my question. Right now, I saw a status that seems really off」

「A status that’s really weird?」

Kohaku was just parroting his words. Taiyou hesitated whether or not to answer her back. In a certain sense, this particular status point, was one that he didn’t really want the girls to find out about.

I mean after all, it’s a status called “Harem”. The current situation was without a doubt being influenced by this status point, depending on the interpretation of the stats, you can even say that the stat has actually warped their minds to see him in a positive light.

Because of this he was quite afraid whether or not he wanted to ask Kohaku about this, however, he thought that concealing this matter, would be way too insincere towards the girls.

「It’s about the status called harem」

「Hou, is there such a thing?」

Kohaku had an interested expression and her eyes were looking left and right. Probably in search of the status. Before long, she seemed to find it, and her face changed into a happy expression.

「This is interesting nou」

「Really?」

「Umu, the fact that this exists, that it has such an outstanding value, and that there is a drop in the value, it’s all very interesting」

「Huh? Why do you say it has dropped in value?」

「Isn’t it something that will drop in value?」

Being curious Kohaku asked Hera.

「Yes~the passive skill “Idol” is an ability that will improve the more brides Taiyou has, even if the value of the status is at 0, even if Taiyou became the enemy of all human kind, it is not supposed to go into a negative figure desu~」

「Fumu, I wonder what kind of thing this is then?」

Taiyou thinks for a little, a certain thing was remembered.

「………This is probably because of overflow, isn’t it?」

「Overflow?」

Kohaku was confused by the word, so the matter was explained to her. He explained that when he was level 3, the Harem value which was supposed to be at 0 points, suddenly reduced and instead of going into the negative values, it became 65535.

「I understand, for something that was way out of your expectations, it isn’t strange that the results are also out of everyone’s expectations, jyana. However, it seems that the effects of the ability remain unchanged jya. Even though plus has become minus, the effects remain at 25% jyana」

「Doesn’t this mean that, when there is eight people like you girls beside me, this value will reach 0」

「It seems that way jyana. Moreover」

Kohaku’s face was smirking but only one side of her mouth was lifted.

「For you, it seems that your limit will be seven brides. Although it is still thousands of steps away before you are able to achieve seven brides, if one day you do manage to get an eighth bride, the value will immediately reach 0, and it may be the case that, you will no longer be able to maintain this relationship of a harem」

Saying this whilst maintaining the happy expression on her face, Kohaku turned to the three sisters.

「Aren’t you guys glad that you are counted as one person nou? if you were counted as three then you would of taken, two slots away from him jya」

Although he didn’t understand why they were clinging on to him with watery eyes before, now they were looking at him with clear eyes and even a smile on their faces.

「Kukuku, it’s good to know that you’ve gotten your spirits back up jya. ………On the other hand, what’s wrong with you, it’s almost like you are the one getting the marriage blues now?」

「…….that’s not it. it’s just that, I remembered the fact that this figure actually existed, and it kind of bugged me」

「Fumu? What’s wrong with this figure? Rather than having 65535, would you prefer it if it said 255?」

「You really don’t know…….? Please understand me, if you don’t…….I…….」

For a while after that, a heavy atmosphere wrapped around the place.

Taiyou becomes silent, and Kohaku puckers up her eyebrows. The three sisters didn’t know exactly what was happening and so they were getting quite nervous for Taiyou. Nobody knew what to say next and so everyone was just staying silent.

After a while, Taiyou let out a sigh and started to speak.

「Harem 65535……I had almost forgotten that this kind of thing existed, but now I remember it. If I have to be honest with you guys, I think that my relationship with you guys, is all because of this particular status value」

「…….Ahh, so what you are trying to say is….」

Kohaku plopped her fist into her palm in realization and her eyes were smiling.

「That you are feeling sorry for the fact, that this figure has warped our minds to favour you」

「……」

「I see, I have understood the situation.You girls, can you separate from him?」

「Yes」
