Chapter 76: The third bride/ It is still too early to dream about i (2/2)

「That’s right, I remember now, you were asking me about who my favourite was」

「No, don’t worry about that anymore」

「You sure?」

Without saying anything Aoba just nods her head.

She was just absentmindedly brooding about something.

Looking at her be like this, Taiyou was thinking…

Was my story able to convey something? Was my answer able to help at least a little in regards to what she was brooding about?

Taiyou didn’t know for sure, after all Aoba was now in the midst of a very difficult time, and right now he was probably one of the ingredients that could worsen her difficult time.

After all, he was the man who was aiming to have “Seven wives”. Even if he was accused of being even more atrocious then her own father who was aiming for his fourth wife, he wouldn’t be able to say anything in return.

If he thought about it, it was probably the best option to just deceive her………. yes, it was the most optimal choice….and yet.

Taiyou was going to answer everything with complete honesty. It might provoke her thoughts, and it may cause her to intensely reject his ideals, but he had already determined himself to tell her the truth.

However, you couldn’t really say that there was no profit to telling her the truth.

A hot flame burnt in Taiyou’s chest as he thought how he was going to explain things to her.

He simulated what he was going to say inside of his own head.

When he did this, he had the urge to just go straight to the girls and do exactly as he imagined.

It wasn’t like he was trying to avoid a sense of guilt; neither was he doing this out of obligation.

It was just his pure emotions of wanting to be with them. He wanted to see their happy faces.

Kotone, Suzune Kazane and also Kohaku.

He imagined them being happy, their smiles and their blushing cheeks. According to the circumstances, they could be shedding tears of joy, but if it was those kinds of tears, he wouldn’t mind seeing them every single day.

Eventually, the communication between him and Aoba ended with him being able to reaffirm his current beliefs and he was the only know who benefited out of the conversation.

As is expected, Aoba was thinking about her own sense of guilt in all of this, and she realized she was going into a depressed state so she quickly put a stop to those thoughts and shook her head in a hurry. Aoba who was just thinking about things in silence finally began to speak.

「Natsuno-kun, you really resemble my father」

「Eh?」

Taiyou became speechless.

「I’m sorry, my words was insufficient. You are like my father, you do the same things that my father does, that’s what I meant. The things you just said, are seriously similar to my dad, and it just got me thinking」

「……So what is your father like?」

Taiyou was incredible interested in hearing what she had to say in regards to this. Thinking about it properly, several hours ago, when he just left Miyagi’s house, it showed him the possibility of what his life may be like in the future.

If she was able to give any details in regards to this matter, there was no way that he wouldn’t be interested.

「My dad…. I’ve never seen him ever apologizing to my mothers」

「Hm?」

Inclining his head, Taiyou was a little bit confused as he tried to digest what she was saying.

「I even think you guys…. do the same things.Instead of apologizing, my dad would make up for it by making them happy. My mother, mama and Okaasama, he would love the three of them dearly and this was very obvious from his actions」

「I see」

「And the thing is, I think I can understand it now. I think that my father doesn’t really think that I am all that important. I think that of course as his daughter he thinks that I’m adorable….. but, I don’t think that he values me as someone of importance」

「……」

「It got me thinking and, it may be possible that I’m not even father’s real child」

「That is……」

Taiyou started to talk but then shut his mouth. There was no point in comforting her with petty words, thinking this was the case he swallowed those petty words and changed what he was going to say.

「If we appraise the dna we will be able to find out. Rather than guessing this and that, it is much better to just appraise it properly so that we can clarify all the facts」

「Yeah, you’re right」

Agreeing with him, Aoba closes her eyes.

She was just making all kinds of expressions by herself. Her facial expression keeps changing, and a variety of deep thoughts were probably going through her mind.

Taiyou did not really have any words that he could say. At least for now that is.

After a short while, her eyes open and she looks straight at Taiyou.

「Natsuno-kun, can I ask you something?」

For some reason, Taiyou’s heart was beating and he was a little startled.

Aoba was showing him a gentle smile that she’s never showed before.

「Natsuno-kun can you tell me more, about this person that you like the most?」
