Chapter 67: The Third Bride/ The Third Girl Chapter 69: The Third Bride/ Introduction to the Cheat

「Ah, No, I mean I just felt like it was appropriate」

「Appropriate?」

「Yeah, it’s because that place is quite easy to pull on so.It’s that kind of thing, you know when a cat just suddenly pounces on a ball of yarn. It was just a reflex. I’m sorry, I won’t do it again」

「……Geez」

Yurikago had a sullen face and all the while, Taiyou bowed his head in apology and she seemed to accept it, once again she began to turn around and walk away.

「Just a minute」

「Haguu! Heyy!」

The moment she was about to walk away Yurikago was once again stopped and she hurled her protesting gaze back at Taiyou.

「What do you think you are doing!?」

「Sorry, sorry, I forgot to release my hand」

「We already parted! Or more like, why are you speaking in that tone of voice again!?」

「You must of misheard」

Taiyou spoke with a straight face.

「But don’t worry, this time we are really separated, look」

Taiyou lifted both hands in the air giving a surrender pose as he declared that he won’t do it anymore. Seeing this, Yurikago reluctantly turned around and faced the other way.

「….Wa」

「――！」

Taiyou was going to grab her twin tail styled hair a third time, however—- his hand only grabbed the empty air.

Did she expect his move, or perhaps she sensed it just before he reached out? Just before she got caught she turned around and rapidly moved the distance.

After avoiding his grasp she gave her a death stare.

For a short while, the atmosphere between the two was a little weird.

「………Just what exactly are you trying to do?」

「Ah, Un. It’s that, I was ticked off」

「You, aren’t you taking me too lightly?」

「No no, I’m not taking you to lightly, I’m telling the truth」

Taiyou was giving an explanation. It was the obvious truth that he was not underestimating her.

He wasn’t underestimating her but the thing is for some reason or another when he saw her, he just had this urge to play some tricks on her.

Even now he was feeling it. Even after this being the third attempt and her actually avoiding his hands, Taiyou’s mischievous urge doesn’t seem to dissipate.

Even though he was saying he was going to stop, both his hands and his heart was itchy to play tricks on her.

「I’m warning you, if you do that one more time I’ll get really angry you know?」

「Don’t get angry? Definitely don’t okay?」

「Err….Why are you speaking in such a doubtful tone?」

It would seem that she did not know of the great performers.

It stands to reason, she was brought up in a secluded inner room……… No it might be even more than that, her origins is such that it would not be strange for her not to know of such things.

Taiyou thought that it was regrettable that his manner of speech was not understood by her and spoke in a reluctant tone.

「I understand, I seriously won’t do it anymore. That’s cause I will be the one walking in front」

So that he would not be able to pull on her hair anymore, he started to walk in the lead. Yurikago follows him a little while afterwards.

「Geez………. Only you could do something like this to me」

「Is that so?」

「Yeah. for your information, the real me isn’t like this okay? Because in usual circumstances a man who would try to pull on my hair like that would find himself beaten to death for his rudeness」

「Hey, do you take care of your own hair?」

「Are you listening to what I’m saying?」

「I’m listening, I’m listening, The real you is someone who an important person that cannot be approached, and if someone were to act rudely in front of you, they would get their heads beheaded」

「I didn’t say that……. and what’s with that exaggeration! the last part is totally wrong!」

「So, you are saying that you current face has special make up, right? So I was wondering if you were wearing fake hair along with the disguise?」

「Hey listen to what I’m saying!」

Although she was raising her voice as she spoke from behind him, it did not sound like she was angry.

She let out a sigh “Haaa” before proceeding to answer Taiyou’s question.

「It’s my natural hair. It’s just props to give out a mysterious feel to it」

「A prop? But it doesn’t seem all that mysterious. To me it just looks normal and cute」

「I’m not talking about the me right now. I’m talking about the me that sits behind a bamboo blind with hair long enough to droop over the floor」

「…….Ohh, somehow I imagine you to be like some sort of high class noble from that depiction」

「Right? Well that’s the kind of thing that I need to portray」

「Is that so…..」

「What?」

「Can I pull on it one more time?」

「Have you been listening to what I’ve been saying all this time?!」

「Yeah of course, that’s why I asked you before I pulled it. I mean, I’ve been listening to you speak, isn’t there some kind of reward for that? I thought I’d get a medal or something」

「Of course not! You, what do you think a woman’s hair is for?」
