Chapter 74: The Third Bride/ True Motives (1/2)

Chapter 73: The Third Bride / Awakening Chapter 75: The third bride/ The emotions deeper within

Effort, Friendship and Success there was a time period when these three things were a big deal. There is a “road to the kingdom” type element to this ideal, whereby being able to attain those three things was considered to be the perfect life.

However, is it really possible to achieve success purely just by making an effort?

Strictly speaking, there was certainly such an age. Opportunities were everywhere and even if you didn’t put in any effort………. there was a period of time where you could still achieve success.

However, these people who had things easy for them started to fantasize about what it would be like to put in the hard work……. Face adversities and hardship, and overcoming those obstacles in order to reach success. In order to meet the public demand, many stories that followed this format started to appear one after another.

Nevertheless, the real world was not such a sweet place, even if you put in a huge amount of effort, it doesn’t necessarily guarantee that you will be successful.

Natsuno Taiyou, knew this. At a comparatively young age, he had already developed this knowledge about the society.

Therefore, he stopped making an effort. If a huge amount of effort was made and yet there was no guarantee of a reward, why should anyone go out of their way to expend all that energy? It was such an absurd thing and that is why he stopped doing it.

No, to be precise, it is more correct to say that he stopped “exerting effort in things that did not guarantee a reward”.

He escaped to the world of games.

Inside of a game, specifically within the RPG genre, the game system endorsed the action of repeated grinding, and the more that you grinded you are guaranteed to become stronger.

The strength you gained was proportionate to the effort you exerted, whenever you put in the work there will always be some sort of compensation given.

This did not mean that Taiyou gave up on his real life.

It was just that he was completely absorbed in the game system, and in real life he was covered with a light feeling of hopelessness.

However, now…

He had once again started to come back to his real life. Making an effort and acquiring more strength, he wanted to make his “Brides” live a happy life.

That was his goal.

Taiyou made his resolve to achieve those goals, as a means to achieve those goals he was thinking of ways to adapt himself to the requirements.

He believed that with the power he had he was definitely able to have his “seven brides”. However just because he had these powers, he didn’t think that it was guaranteed that he would make his “seven brides” happy.

Therefore, he was going to make his best effort to arrive at those goals……. He was desperately thinking about the means to achieve the maximal optimal results for his efforts.

The method of changing the power he was guaranteed to gain from his repetitive work and with the minimum amount of loss, convert that into his brides happiness.

Finally, he was able to come to a conclusion.

「…….What kind of situation is this?」

This was first thing he said when he came back to his senses.

He was not able to grasp the situation at all, since to him, just a little while back there was only Kohaku and Yurikago in the room, but before he knew it the three sisters and Aoba were home, and even Akiha was here.

Even though this living room was capable of physically supporting many people, having so many people come into this room made it very lively.

Taiyou was really curious about the circumstances of how this came to be.

「Did you finally overcome it……?」

Kohaku spoke in a profound manner.

「No I haven’t overcame anything. If you show that kind of triumphant look that only exists in a manga, I’ll be troubled」

「However, you have a face that tells me you’ve decided on something. It’s like the face of a male that is about to go on the hunt jya」

「………I only thought of this idea that I wanted to try doing, after asking for some opinions on it I would like to decide on what to do next」

「I understand, we’re going to have a family conference jyana」

「Family conference? No I want to ask you—」

Taiyou was about to finish his sentence but then he shut his mouth. To his side, the three sisters had this worried expression as they looked straight at him.

Seeing such a lovable sight his chest became hot and *chu* a wet sound of kissing resounded as he gave the three of them a kiss each.

It was only a brief kiss, but it was a kiss that melted their hearts.

The three of them were surprised and moved deeply.

「Because this will be our first family conference that will decide our future together, I will be happy if you girls let me hear your opinions on the matter」

「「「Yes!」」」

「Oh, that seems kinda wonderful」

Akiha felt admiration when seeing such a spectacle. Taiyou looked at her and said this…

「There is…… Probably no need for me to ask why you’ve come here right」

「Of course」

After seeing Akiha nod her head, Taiyou turned his attention to Aoba. Looking at her straight in the eyes with a serious face.

Aoba faltered and slightly stirred.

Just now he had kissed those three girls and now he was looking right at me, what is he planning on doing I wonder? That was the kind of worried expression she had on her face.

In a certain meaning she was worried for her chastity, but Taiyou had no intentions of the sort.

Still with the serious look on his face he asked Aoba.

「What about you, what do you plan to do in the end?」

「Eh?」

「Just a little while ago, I visited your parent’s house, and spoke a bit with your three mothers. I felt somewhat angry when I was there, and I’ve come to comprehend a little bit about why you left home」
