Going back in time a little, inside of Aoba’s room. After she frankly mentioned that she was “scared”, she showed Taiyou a frightened expression. Showing him such a feminine and weak side of her, Taiyou’s desire to protect was stirred up. Settling down his mind, he asked her a question.
「….Is that perhaps due to the fact that your parent’s were like that as well?」
When seeing it from Taiyou’s perspective, no just judging from the current situation it was a proper question to ask.
「Yeah, but, I think that it is a little different to what Taiyou is thinking of」
「Different from my thoughts?」
「Yes. You know, my mothers are really close with each other. Even when they are happily talking with each other, or when they are flirting with dad…. Even when they are in a big fight with each other. Umm, do you understand… What I’m trying to say?」
「I don’t understand it completely but, I can appreciate that they are close enough to have a big fight with each other and remain close friends. Even after having such a quarrel, there aren’t any future troubles created, right?」
「I don’t know if it won’t create future implications but, they are able to use the topic they argued with and make fun of each other with it. Because I used to see this every day, it became a normal occurrence, but if other people were to see this, they would normally become really nervous」
「I see, they really get along with each other don’t they?」
Taiyou nods and imagined the scene.
In other words, to describe what Aoba meant is that they were the type of people who would express their true feelings to each other without reserve. Because Taiyou doesn’t have this kind of relationship just yet he couldn’t totally relate to it, but on the contrary because he didn’t have this in his relationship yet, he understood how difficult it was to achieve such a state.
「That’s why I’m afraid. If I truly reach this kind of a relationship with Natsuno-kun, will I be able to….. still get along with the other girls that Natsuno-kun like? I think that I will surely――」
Breaking off her words mid-sentence, she looked straight at Taiyou.
「―― Be a jealous girl」
Jealousy. Taiyou was startled at hearing this word. This was something that he did not encounter in his life yet. Right now he has two brides. Neither of them have ever mentioned such a feeling, and not even the word has been said. Especially for the three sisters, since the beginning they were the ones who wanted Taiyou to get together and create a harem with Kohaku, so they never showed him such an emotion. Although they may have mentioned being envious as a joke occasionally, it was not something that would make them feel distressed. Therefore, because Taiyou’s first experience in dating were the three girls, feelings of envy that a girl may have, completely slipped his mind.
Only for an instant―― Taiyou felt really shaken up.
In the time he took to think, there was plenty of things he decided, one of the things he decided was for him not to waver. He was resolved to gather seven women in his harem and he was prepared to make all the members happy. Even without Atsuko telling him, he realized that in order to accomplish these goals, he needed a big amount of power. It wasn’t as simple as just gathering seven women, but in order to keep them all happy, he needed a power beyond his imagination. In order to gain such a strength, he concluded that hesitation and the like is worthless. That’s why, he instantly recovered his wavering mind.
「Hera」
He spoke out not towards Aoba, but towards an empty space where nobody existed. He didn’t know if she was nearby, he didn’t know if she was listening to the conversation. However, Taiyou had belief. He believed that she would arrive within a short period of time to appear before him.
Hera was fundamentally connected to the deepest portion of this human being named Natsuno Taiyou. If he called out to her, no matter the time or place, she should rush towards him. That’s what he believed. As was expected, it was just like Taiyou had thought.
「Yes, okay~ Did you call out for me Taiyou-chan?」
「Yeah, I called you. In a certain way, you are quite the easy woman aren’t you? Because whenever I call, you will appear」
「Fufufu~n, that’s of course. After all I exist for Taiyou-chan nanodesuyo~」
「I’ve become accustomed to the way you speak without noticing it these days」
Saying that Taiyou turned towards Aoba.
「Although one thing led to another, you are able to see her figure right?」
「Y-yes」
Aoba drew back a little. Being able to see a non-human existence, Taiyou supposed that it was a natural reaction for her to have.
「In that case, I want to introduce you to her. Her name is Hera. Now that you mention it, do you have a full name other than just “Hera”? Or are you fine with that?」
At this late hour?! Shouldn’t you know her name by now? Was the kind of face Aoba was showing to Taiyou.
「I don’t really have any other name~ If I was forced to say, I would call myself Natsuno Hera desuyo~」
「Well you heard her, apparently she’s Natsuno Hera. Well her name is a trivial matter, as you can see from her appearance, she seems to be a fairy」
「It is actually very important desu」
「Hm?」
「Names are extremely important」
「That’s what you meant?!」
「Umm, this…. person? Eh, or more like…. that thing…. what is it?」
「I am the fruit born from Taiyou’s love」
「Ehhhhhhh?!」
「Can you stop with saying something that can be misunderstood?」
Taiyou gave Hera a smack on the head and asked Aoba.
「You knew that I used to play a lot of games until a little while ago, right?」
