「So why do you think that?」

「After all, Master Master is here.」

「Mm? Oh, you must be talking about Kohaku-san.」

Thinking about that briefly, Taiyou asked a question in return.

「Do you know what polygamy is?」

「Yes! The act of one man taking many women as his wives, or otherwise, the legal system of the aforementioned process. Some of the patterns seen in this system can take the form of sister polygamy as well as non-sister polygamy.」

「Really?」

Taiyou said, deeply interested. He originally had asked her the question, but much to his surprise, he had just heard something new. Marveling at her usual unique way of answering, he asked another question.

「I understand what sisters and non-sisters mean, but you’re saying that they each have their own unique categories?」

「Yes; it seems to have been very common for nobles and the upper class to indulge in the sister polygamy model. Among the emperors of Japan throughout history, around twenty-one of them apparently had harems comprised of sisters.」

「I sure didn’t know that. Incidentally, do you know which emperors did that?」

「Yes! Uhh…Emperor Kourei, Emperor Suinin, Emperor Keikou――」

In one go, Pochi read off some dozen emperors’ names without hesitation.

「Wow, there were quite a few people like that, eh?」

Taiyou was impressed. He was familiar with some of those names, so although he wasn’t sure whether this was true or not, it gave him the impression of sounding quite credible.

「Which means that since we have sisters in our group…oh wait, never mind; there‘s also Kohaku and Aoba, so it’s also a non-sister model in a sense.」

Mumbling, he then looked at Pochi.

「You really know your stuff.」

「That’s because I studied together with Master! You see, Master was very knowledgeable and taught me a variety of things.」

「And now I guess you’re referring to Karina-san.」

He could understand from the context that she was talking about her actual mother. And with that general flow, he asked Pochi various things. Pochi answered them one by one in a prompt manner. Taiyou soon discovered that her knowledge far surpassed that of his own. Almost as if there were an encyclopedia within her head, if you metaphorically hit it, it would reverberate――if you inquired something, it would soon・・・・come up with a diligent answer.

（She’s got to be at least more knowledgeable than Kohaku.）

Pochi knew enough of a variety of things to convince him of that. On the other hand, there were a lot of things that she didn’t know. Despite the fact that she had knowledge of just about everything found in things like dictionaries and encyclopedias, when it came to things like slang, her knowledge was poor. And although she had the knowledge, she had apparently almost never actually experienced, saw, or interacted with most of these things. Taiyou thought that had to be a given, considering how long she had been locked up in that mansion along with Karina.

Once Taiyou’s questions had settled down, this time it was Pochi’s turn to speak.

「So I also kiss Aoba due to our unique situation.」

「Okay, I understand!」

「You’re satisfied now, are you…」

「Umm, Master?」

「Yeah?」

「Could you tell me…about the new Master?」

While saying that, she glanced in the direction of the shop. It would seem that she wanted to know about Kohaku.

「Kohaku-san, huh…Where do I even begin?」

「Master is Master’s Master, right?」

「I’m still not used to that way of speaking…but yeah, that’s right.」

Taiyou answered Kohaku’s question, reminiscing about life after meeting Kohaku.

「I think that Kohaku…is an incredible person.」
