Chapter 67: The Third Bride/ The Third Girl (1/2)

Chapter 66: The Third Bride / It's hardly acceptable Chapter 68 The Third Bride/ Her True Self is?

The fight was finished in the blink of an eye.

Seeing those thugs reach their hands out towards Yurikago in a distasteful way, Taiyou leaped into the fray and literally wiped the floor with at least ten men who was surrounding her; it was instant kill.

The only weapon in Taiyou’s arsenal was his fists, in comparison his opponents held knives and batons in their hands but he had the overwhelming strength to overpower them.

Not only that Taiyou snatched the baton off one of the guys and bent the whole baton right in front of them, and this added an element of mental damage to their mind.

If an outsider were to look upon this scene right now, they wouldn’t see a fight……. It was a one-sided massacre.

At the very least, this is what Junishima Yurikago was seeing in front of her.

After making a heap of corpses pile behind him in less than one minute, he briskly turned to face Yurikago.

「Are you alright?」

She was quite calm, even though she was in this kind of situation, under the light of the moonlight, her face was cold and collected.

「Nastuno Taiyou」

「Hera-chan is also here ya know~?」

Yurikago murmurs Taiyou’s name. Somehow as soon as Hera showed up, Yurikago’s face blushes grandly.

Taiyou was wondering why she was acting like this, but he soon understood.

She was able to see Hera. This is because Kohaku made her forcibly kiss Taiyou. He guessed that she remembered that event and that’s why she was acting like this.

Though he understood it, he thought it would be better if he didn’t touch that topic. He turned towards Hera and wanted her to fly away so that Yurikago wouldn’t feel embarassed.

「Hera, can please you go back first?」

「Yes nanodesu~」

Hera obediently listened to Taiyou request without any complaints. Unlike the time where she seemingly appeared in front of him via teleportation, this time around Hera flapped her wings and flew into the evening sky.

After watching Hera depart he faced Yurikago once again and asked if she was alright.

「Yeah, I’m fine, it’s not like they were able to do anything」

After Hera left, Yurikago’s blush also disappeared.

(She’s really cute)

「Well… I wasn’t planning on letting these types of guys do something to me」

「Naturally, there isn’t any girl who would want something like that to happen to her….」

As he was talking, Taiyou remembered a certain thing. Looking at the expression on her face, Taiyou had a bit of a doubt.

「By the way, just as an off-chance……but what if they did something to you? What if I didn’t make it here in time?—」

「self-destruction」

「Isn’t that way too exaggerated?!」

Last time they were working together, she also said that in the case of an emergency she would rather die than get caught.

After remembering this fact, Taiyou started to wonder if she was the type of person to use ‘suicide’ as her back up plan… he honestly thought that her way of thinking was far more extreme than when he first imagined.

「You think? Well don’t you think it would be irritating if I just let them do as they pleased? Dying in vain is also something I’d rather avoid, in that case my only option is to self-destruct isn’t it? 」

「No, let’s not talk about the subject of death. Why is it that you have such a cute face but your views are so extreme I wonder?」

「Cute?」

Yurikago laughed scornfully.

「Are you referring to this face of mine? The last time we met, I was wearing a masquerade mask wasn’t I?」

「Yeah, now that I think about it, something like that did happen between us」

After saying this, Taiyou took a long hard look at her face. Although it was a dark alley in the middle of the night, they were standing quite close to each other and he was observing her face closely. And just like that, he asked the question he had on his mind.

「Although I thought about this before, I’ve always wondered how you looked underneath the disguise. I mean—」

「You are way too close!」

He was looking at her too intently as he drew near towards her, Yurikago reacted by suddenly thrusting out her palm.

Taiyou was in a totally defenceless position and his jaw was hit with the palm of her hand! The sound of impact resounded.

Immediately his vision twinkled. His jaw was aching and he held on to it as he protested to her.

「What are you doing?! When people are speaking, don’t just suddenly strike them in the chin! What if I accidently bit my tongue?」

「It’s cause your face is too close, don’t you agree?」

「No, well I mean that may be true but still! I just wanted to confirm how much you disguised yourself!」

「That’s totally unnecessary, a disguise is just a disguise. it’s obviously different from my real face!」

Did she perhaps get angry? her cheeks were red as she blurted out the words.

「In that case let me see the proof」

「The proof?」

「Yeah, do you have a picture of your real face or something? Even if it’s blurry it’s fine」

「A-as if I’d show you a picture like that」
