Chapter 186 – Sunlight Nachtmusik / I – Love – You (2/2)

「What, what happened to you Taiyou-san?」

「Did you lose weight?!」

As soon as the three were together, their way of speaking that he was so used to was back.

Koto, Suzu, Kaza in order. A chorus of souls only present in that family.

He smiled as he heard them gab on.

He thought that women are best like this.

「I’m home!」

Without saying anything, the three squeezed him again.

They squeezed him hard, but it didn’t hurt.

He felt like he was held inside of three pairs of arms…

「…」

Three girls unevenly linked together as one soul. Someone complained out of pain from the squeeze…but no one knew who it was.

Who? Was it Kotone? Suzune? Kazane? All three?

That would be good, thought Taiyou, as he could feel all three of them at once.

Just like he used to feel them all at once before.

As he remembered back, he held them once again.

After a moment, the three separated from him again.

「Why were all of you running around in different directions?」

「We were looking for you, Taiyou.」

「When we went to Aoba’s room, you weren’t there.」

「We each searched on our own.」

「Yeah, sorry about that.」

He remembered when he first arrived here, and apologized to the girls.

He had intended to see the three who had arrived before him when he arrived, but he postponed it when he became focused on his time spent with Aoba.

The three understood this and allowed him to do as he pleased, but, when they finally went to see him, he had left Aoba in the room alone.

As Taiyou apologized, the three walked along with him together.

Two on the right and left, one in front – one would think that made it quite difficult for him to walk easily, but because of their joined motions it wasn’t like that at all.

As they talked, they continued walking. It seemed like something important was straight ahead, but because of their beauty he totally forgot it.

It had been a long time since those three had been with him, he felt strongly.

He suddenly felt mischievous. We wanted to try something.

He stopped and looked at the three.

「Kotone, Suzune, Kazane. Could you close your eyes?」

「Wha?」

「Ah…」

「Yes!」

Surprise, conjecture, happiness.

An easily understandable progression, as the three lined up by height, and closed their eyes at Taiyou.

It was obvious that they were preparing for something to happen.

They usually weren’t hesitant to respond, but this was a little different.

Taiyou didn’t kiss any of them, but held Kotone’s hand.

She squealed in a happy voice. However, he betrayed their expectations.

He raised her hands up, and grabbed her up in his arms.

「？？」

They were confused. Not a kiss? It seemed they were saying among themselves.

At that moment he took her hand and wrote on it with her finger.

Such supple skin recorded the trace of his finger on her palm.

I Love You.

Character by character, he wrote them dutifully into her palm.

At first she was lost and didn’t know what was occurring.

One second, two, three, long, slow breaths and thoughts.

Finally all three openeth their eyes in understanding.

He saw them tear up and become emotional all at once.

「「「Taiyou-san!」」」

「Oh, so you understood it?」

「「「Of course we did!」」」

「I guess so. You kind of have to.」

「Taiyou-san, you’re so cruel sometimes.」

「We thought you’d kiss us, but you never do.」

「But, hee hee, hee hee hee…」

As Kotone’s voice rose in laughter, all three of them did so together.

They hadn’t expected it, but one way or another, they were happier about it than what they actually expected to happen.

He came close to all three of them, and gave them all a kiss in order.

Kotone, Suzune, Kazane.

From tallest to shortest, each the short kiss that they desired.

Even more surprisingly, Taiyou followed up with,

「So, you wanted a kiss then?」

「「「Yes!」」」

「Is a maid here?」

As he looked at the happy three, he called out for a maid. He couldn’t see one, but there must be one nearby.

And soon, a new maid approached. She was different than the others, probably charged with caring for the three.

「Did you call sir?」

「I want you to prepare something. Blindfolds, and some that won’t fall off easily when you move around.」

She heard his request as the three blushed.

They were trying to guess what he’d do.

Taiyou thought that it was best this way.

He thought, but…

「You mean something like this?」

「Wait, why do you have them on you?」

The maid pulled the blindfolds from her own bosom.

Taiyou was surprised that Youran’s maids always had pervy stuff like this on them.
