Chapter 110 Mystery of the Girl / Domestic Telephone Call Chapter 112: Mystery of the Girl / I’m Sure They’ll Forgive Me

「Where is she!?」

「I’ll take you to her.」

Hera turned around midair, changing course and flying off. Taiyou kicked off from the ground, following her. Their ferocious speed was enough to blow wind toward them, with Kotone holding back her hair with her hands as she spoke to Hera.

「Hera-chan, I’ll notify everyone, so tell me where the place is and where she is!」

「Alright! It’s in the area ahead once you’ve cleared these woods.」

Once Hera had told her that, Kotone conveyed it among the sisters via telepathy.

Taiyou, still sprinting, at length found the target once he had slipped out of the forest for the first time, just as Hera had said.

A group of brawny men were gathering around one wagon. Pochi was already set up on the wagon, mouth gagged and hands tied up. She reacted to seeing Taiyou, but was in a situation where her pressed-down shoulders prevented her from moving.

「Pochi!」

Calling her in a loud voice, he stopped when he was around ten meters away from the wagon. This was a distance from which he could immediately burst in and commence fighting; the distance to commence fighting that his body had learned from his fights with Shirokiyami.

Taiyou lowered Kotone down, setting her behind him.

Then he realized something when he took another look at his opponents.

Among the burly men, only one was clearly an existence of a different nature. There was a crimson outline of a woman.

Though she was a crimson outline, she was by no means a sweet flower. There was a fierce smile in her narrow eyes that was reminiscent of a carnivorous animal, and while glamorous, she surpassed Taiyou’s height at around 180 centimeters.

She was emitting an extraordinary atmosphere from her entire body.

「We couldn’t get away, huh.」

The huge woman looked at Taiyou, a smile showing on her face. Not self-depreciation; in stark contrast to her words, it was a manner of speaking of someone enjoying the situation.

They had no intention of running away. Taiyou just got that feeling.

「But wow, to think that you got here first instead of Shirokiyami. I guess you’d better blame it on bad luck. What do you think, boy?」

She asked in a collected manner, and paying it no heed, Taiyou interrogated her.

「Who are you guys, and what was your objective with kidnapping that girl?」

「Oh, did I seem like the type of person who spills the beans?」

The woman asked in return, snickering.

「Well, this is the right situation for it, plus it’s not like I lose anything by asking.」

「That’s also true. Well, you’re free to ask, but I have no intention of answering.」

「Then, where do you plan on taking her?」

「That’s basically the same as the other questions. How about you use your head a bit when asking questions?」

She said in a challenging tone, snickering as usual. Taiyou was a little bit sullen.

「…What about the color of your panties?」

「Red.」

「And further up?」

「The same.」

「Is there hair, or do you shave?」

「Is having none a given?」

The large woman stifled her laughter. Her way of laughing was not a derisive laugh of bloodlust, but now had a happy nuance to it.

「And?」

「And what?」

「I mean, what else? For starters, I don’t mind giving you about eighty points, but not having any questions beyond that to broaden the conversation means failure, boy.」

「…」

Taiyou closed his mouth. He had just been trying to throw a screwball into the day after tomorrow and confuse her, so he didn’t continue.

「You really aren’t popular, are ya?」

The woman made a slightly exasperated expression. Crossing her arms and sighing, her breasts that were a size larger than Pochi’s wavered up and down.

Taiyou wasn’t able to retort.

「That’s not true! Taiyou-san is staggeringly popular; he plans to eventually make a harem of seven, okay! You’re an idiot if you don’t understand Taiyou-san’s appeal.」

In place of Taiyou who couldn’t retort, Kotone lost her temper and objected. She couldn’t handle her harem king being denounced.

「Hey, seems like you’re pretty good at brainwashing.」

「Many thanks for the compliment. Since we’re on the topic of harems, wanna discuss true love?」

Using the time that Kotone had made for him when she had cut in, a somehow-refreshed Taiyou tried bringing up a different topic. A keyword that he had found when searching up harems on the internet a bit earlier.

He had at that time procured the opinions of the people who discussed things like one-husband-multiple-wives and one-wife-multiple-husbands, so this was a topic that could open up the conversation in many ways.

「Seems like a topic that would spread the conversation out boundlessly, but no can do.」

「Why?」

「Because it would be a waste to have that conversation end in the middle; if we had time I’d like to have the both of us discuss it unreservedly while having a drink.」

「There’s no time?」

The woman twisted the corner of her mouth into a broad grin as Taiyou tilted his head.

「Well, I guess it’s about time.」

「Eh?」

「I mean that I think your guys’ reinforcements should be here pretty soon. You bought time because you were waiting for their arrival, right?」

「You knowingly went along with it?」

「Well yeah, sure.」

Taiyou was astonished. Just as she had said, he had intended to buy time until the girls had come together.

He felt shocked that not only had she caught on to that, but knowingly played along.
