Chapter 57: A Bride’s Power/Triplets Chapter 59: A Bride's Power/Goal and Declaration
Taiyou ran up the stairs in a dash and embraced the three girls closely. As if he was trying to feel their temperature, he hugged them really strongly.
「Taiyou-san」
「Umm, It hurts a little」
「I give, I give」
The three sisters were in pain as he hugged them too hard and they were appealing to him to loosen his grip.
They gave him a clear answer.
Unlike how they were moments ago, the girls were able to give him a proper answer.
And Taiyou felt really relieved that they were fine. When he saw them in that infant-like state….. he was imagining all the worst possibilities and now that he saw them safe and sound, it made him feel so much relief that it brought tears to his eyes.
「I’m glad, that you guys have returned」 (Taiyou)
「I’m sorry to have made you worry」 (Kotone)
「We became weird again didn’t we?」 (Suzune)
「It’s because I hit my head……」 (Kazane)
「No, as long as you guys are okay, then I’m happy」(Taiyou)
Taiyou loosened his grip slightly, but he didn’t completely let go of his embrace.
When he was reminded of their pitiful state his chest would feel tight, because no matter how anyone would see it, when Kazane went missing, the two girls seemed to have gone “Crazy”.
Taiyou strongly thought within his own mind that he never wanted to see them like that ever again.
In order to make sure of it…. he embraced the three girls closely and thought of various different plans and ideas.
「……」
「What’s wrong jya? Why are your eyes looking like that? Do you want to be hugged by him as well?」(Kohaku Speaking to Shirokiyami)
「That is….Not really. I just feel a little……strange」
「Strange?」
「After the girls showed up……He who ran up the stairs…..clearly became strong, er」
「Oh, it’s about that?」(Kohaku Speaking)
Downstairs, Kohaku and Shirokiyami were having a conversation with each other.
Taiyou confirmed his own status window, and just like Shirokiyami mentioned, the moment the three sisters regained their sanity “Idol” reactivated itself and he regained the 25 % bonus of having two brides.
And most likely Kohaku also confirmed this fact at the same exact time and she proudly spoke.
「Didn’t I tell you before jya? our husband becomes stronger when he is loved by us. When the three sisters who were on the verge of death reobtains their vitality, it is obvious that he would become stronger—In other words, you girls were like broken wings nanojya」
「……？」
Hearing Kohaku’s words Shirokiyami looked puzzled as she tilted her head.
She was the type of girl that didn’t understand those type of jokes.
「But…..if that’s the case, then」
After saying in a small voice, she nodded in affirmation.
「Do you understand it?」
Taiyou went down the stairs slowly, while still embracing the three sisters in his arms.
「I have no choice…..but to do it」(Shirokiyami Speaking)
「You need to do what?」(Taiyou Speaking)
「Even you said it yourself…..your power….is physically…. weird」
「Ahh, I did say that didn’t I? 」(Taiyou Speaking)
Nodding, he remembered the conversation he had with her when he met her before. He certainly did say something along those lines.
「Human strength is decided by muscle strength….and spirit……is what I was taught. Sometimes, there is also magical power. But, in your case, you aren’t different….. from normal boys. But, in actuality, you are more…..no, extremely, strong」
「…….」
Taiyou decided to maintain a serious face, no a concrete poker face. Muscle strength and spirit, in other words, the laws of physics.It is a very natural thing that human strength is supposed to be decided on only those factors.
However, unlike that, Taiyou’s strength called “Level Up” deviates from normal laws of physics. The three sisters and Kohaku, who were apart of his family of harem, knew this, but he didn’t really want to confide to Shirokiyami who hasn’t become a part of his harem…..he at least wanted to keep this a secret from her.
That is why he had a poker face. Whether or not Shirokiyami notices or not, she gave out her own speculation, speaking out once again.
「I can only guess that….you have become stronger with a type of power that I don’t know about」 (Shirokiyami)
「I see, Although you are expert in combat, you have quite the old fashioned way of thinking jyana?」(Kohaku Speaking)
「Is it really….the power of love?」(Shirokiyami)
「……Yeah」(Taiyou)
Taiyou nodded without hesistation. Strictly speaking about the power of love….”Idol” is not the main way that he increases his power. In any case he wanted to hide the truth….. Taiyou had become a man when he ‘connected’ with the girls last night and he had already decided the path he was going to take from now on.
「Is that so……」(Shirokiyami)
「Don’t you think that it’s fantastic jyaro?」
「That is……I’m not really sure」(Shirokiyami)
After saying that, Shirokiyami once again said 「I don’t undersand」but this time in a murmur.
Finished with their conversation, Taiyou and Kohaku decided to take a bath together. In the design of this certain apartment building, the communal bathroom that is used is on the first floor, connecting to the living room terrace.
