Chapter 130: I and Me / From the Cradle to the Grave Chapter 132: Shovelers Unmatched / The Fourth Pair

Translator: Reflet

To Natsuno Taiyou, Juunishima Youran was in a delicate position.

Taiyou, who was thinking of making seven brides and walking together through difficulties, had three brides and one candidate as of now.

The identical triplets had the unique attribute of acknowledging themselves as「one girl」, therefore Hayakawa Kotone, Suzune, and Kazane had been oriented toward a harem life before meeting Taiyou.

Being an Eternal Little and spending her really long life of eighty years alone, Taiyou accepted her regardless of that, so Azumaya Kohaku decided to offer him her everything, beginning with her chastity.

Then there was Miki Aoba , born in a normal household of wives and children and lovers and raised lovingly by her three mothers.

These three had currently exchanged feelings with Taiyou and had all recognized themselves as his「brides」.

There was one more: a girl currently stopped at the candidate level.

The white beautiful swordswoman who exploited her title of the world’s strongest to the fullest. Although her real name was unknown, Taiyou had fallen for Shirokiyami, repeatedly challenging the condition of 「Bride Acquired by Winning a Fight」.

Taiyou had clear feelings for these four.

Youran was not there. She was not counted as that type of existence in his consciousness.

But Youran was able to see the fairy by Taiyou’s side. She could see the Level Fairy whose form was only visible to the humans who had kissed with him.

They had gone as far as to kiss, and yet they did not have that relationship.

She was that delicate existence to Taiyou.

Traversing the wall that was demolished by the thrown spear-like telephone poles, he took relaxed strides into the area that was closed off until a moment ago. As if he were quite surprised, Tsukumo stood there dumbfounded.

Standing in front of Youran, he checked her condition.

「You alright?」

「You…why are you here?」

「That conversation comes later-wait, there’s blood coming out of your mouth!」

「Eh? Ohhh, I might have lost it a bit. Because I was just trying to bite off my tongue.」

「What do you mean by ”just”? Isn’t that pretty major!?」

Taiyou’s voice cracked. Youran looked placid, but this situation seemed to be actually quite dangerous.

「Whoaaa, that does look painful…」

「It is in fact painful. I bit my tongue so that’s a given.」

「I got it, so don’t speak anymore. Just looking at you makes me feel like my mouth is hurting.」

Tentatively leaving Youran be, he turned to Tsukumo.

Right now there was something more important to him than Youran.

「So we meet again.」

「Natsuno Taiyou…」

「Where’s Aoba? Tell me.」

He cornered him with a quiet yet forcible manner of speaking.

It was evident that the one who had taken Aoba away was this man.

To Taiyou, Aoba was who really mattered.

「That was an accident.」

Coming back to reality, Tsukumo spoke with a grave face.

「I didn’t mean to do that. Miki Aoba and Akita Mio. I knew that they were mother and daughter, and I didn’t have the slightest intention of harming them. I’m the one responsible for Akita Mio suffering wounds.」

「……I’m asking about Aoba.」

「I did try to capture Akita Mio along the way, and thought about abducting the remaining two. Three mothers and their beloved daughter; I thought that I’d surely get to enjoy an unprecedented level of mother-daughter bowl. Oh yeah, do you know about the mother-child bowl composed only of chicken meat?」

「I don’t have time to tag along with your nonsense. I’m asking you where Aoba is.」

From their exchange on the ferry, Taiyou knew that he mustn’t be lured into his pace. Putting aside the three-mother mother-daughter bowl, he was a bit curious about the chicken meat-only parent-child bowl, but he reined his facial expression in, telling himself to not let even that behavior show.

「Taiyou-chan Taiyou-chan, how do you make a parent-child bowl with only chicken meat? I’m intrigued so I’m going to try and ask.」

Ignoring the hurried Hera who couldn’t read the air, he glared at Tsukumo.

「A chicken-meat-only parent-child bowl is――」

Tsukumo attempting to begin speaking without answering the question.

His heart rapidly cooling, Taiyou struck a portion of the wall next to him that was still not smashed.

The thick wall made clattering noises as it crumbled.

This was not intimidation. Taiyou didn’t have the presence of mind to do something as dreary as that.

He had become composed・・・・・・He lifted up a fragment of the crushed wall that had the surface area of a single bed, aiming at Tsukumo and hurling it.

「――！」

Changing his facial expression, Tsukumo desperately evaded. Taiyou picked up yet another fragment, hurling one after the other.

Taiyou had learned from the fight aboard the ferry.

Saekusa Tsukumo took bizarre steps, making unpredictable movements. Even if he upfront tried to bash him, Taiyou would definitely not have been able to catch him.

At the same time, looking from a remote area at those movements, they weren’t exactly all that fast. It was needless to say that Shirokiyami could create twofold afterimages, and in this case he saw his movements as about as fast as the average adult male.

Therefore, he had thought of a surface attack of hurling things with huge surface areas like this.
