A stand-alone house covered under the veil of darkness. The chirping of summer insects and sound of water-filled bamboo sticks clacking against a stone rhythmically sounded in the background. Furthermore, there was a lovely sight to behold as many glamourous girls wearing yukata’s surrounded him.
Taiyou’s brides were all changed into yukatas. The three sisters were wearing three different colors of red, blue and yellow respectively. Aoba was wearing green and Kohaku was wearing a light blue yukata. It was a multi-colored arrangement and each of these girls had their own cute looking points. Since Taiyou left to change his clothes, the beautiful lady’s had been having a pleasant chat with each other.
On the other hand, Shirokiyami who was not part of his bride group wore her trade mark goth loli fashion clothing. Perhaps she really liked wearing these types of clothes, or perhaps she just disliked wearing a yukata, but ever since the girls came out of the hot spring, she remained in her usual style of clothing.
「Aren’t you going to change into a yukata?」
「I’m good…. for now」
「For now?」
「Differenti-ation.」
「Is that so?」
While it was a small movement, Taiyou nodded his head. Although she wasn’t saying very many words, he was still able to understand what she wanted to say. Because all of his brides were wearing the yukata right now she didn’t want to wear it, if he wanted to force her to wear it Taiyou had to defeat her in combat, that’s the kind of thing she implied.
Hearing her words made Taiyou a little glad.
「Why are you……smiling?」
「Cause I’m happy.」
「You’re happy?」
「Ahh, after all your words from before means that you are seriously considering my proposal, right? At the very least I understood it as you keeping your promise.」
「That’s true…. however.」
「However?」
「I always say that to everyone I meet. If they want me….. they need to defeat me.」
「Is that so……」
Taiyou was slightly discouraged. Although it didn’t change the fact that he needed to beat her, hearing that any male could step up to the challenge made him feel a pang of loneliness for a moment.
「……B-ut」
「Hmm?」
Once again, she spoke in her peculiar manner in accordance with her unique breathing patterns. When he wonders what she was going to say next and looked at her, he couldn’t see the expression on her face as she was looking towards the garden.
「I wouldn’t…… go to the…… hot spring with just any one.」
「Is that true?」
「It’s only cause………. I don’t have to worry about being attacked.」
「Even if that’s the case, I’m happy.」
Even though she told him that she went along with him because she wasn’t afraid he would “attack” her, he still felt that this made him somewhat special as opposed to other men.
「Therefore, make sure…. you don’t misunderstand.」
「Yeah, I won’t.」
Taiyou shows a forced smile. Well the feeling that he was special was only a hunch he had after all. In order to be truly “special” in her eyes, Taiyou realized once again that he needed to be able to overpower her in combat. Remembering the show of strength, she showed previously, he noted that there will be plenty of future troubles for him to face.
(Well, I can only try my best)
Once again he strengthened the resolve in his own mind.
「Husband, just what are you doing standing over there jya? are you going to neglect your cute brides and flirt with another woman?」
「What were you speaking about with that person?」
Both Kohaku and Aoba came towards Taiyou. Unlike Kohaku who was talking to him in a jesting and playful manner, Aoba’s words were slightly mixed with jealously.
「Just a little something.」
「I don’t understand what you mean by a “little something” jya.」
「It’s about the fact that he wants to defeat me……. and viol….ate me one day.」
「Ohh!」
「Ehhhhhhhh?!」
「No that’s just an exaggeration! And moreover, Kohaku-san why do you seem happy instead?!」
「Uuuuu….. to think that my husband would grow up into such a bold gentleman, I’m so happy that tears are coming out of my eyes jya.」
Kohaku was pretending to cry showing her crocodile tears.
「I’m telling you that your response is weird, moreover your response is not suited as a bride, it’s more like you are acting like some sort of delicate mother.」
「Hikaru Genji was one of the men who aimed for veteran beautiful girls so it kinda suits your role jya.」
「Please don’t try to force me into such a thing, moreover what is a veteran beautiful girl?」
「When a girl is 70 years of age and yet she is still beautiful, wouldn’t she be considered a veteran jya? Although, even if you were to play professional baseball until you were 50 years of age, you would still be considered a rookie.」
「I see, Kohaku-san is really at that age isn’t she?」
The newcomer Aoba shows a surprised face as she heard Kohaku’s age.
「That’s right, I’m the beautiful veteran girl Kohaku-tan jya」
Kohaku stuck out her chest and spoke out proudly.
「Kohaku-tan…… if by some chance I lose, will you come to help…?」
「If by some chance…」
Taiyou smiles bitterly.
