Early afternoon, Taiyou Castle, in the living terrace.

Aoba and Suzune were alone together, readying the preparations for the welcome party.

They were doing things like making hanging banners, cutting origami and making chain-like decorations.

As if they had barely started, it seemed that there would be quite a bit of time before completion.

The two of them were chatting while proceeding preparations.

「Come to think of it, what was the name of this?」

「You mean this？」

「Mhm, this loop? Or is it a chain? I’m just wondering what it’s name is」

「Hmm, what could it be? I don’t know either, come to think of it」

As the two of them were connecting loop and loop, Aoba asked that, and Suzune tilted her head.

「Koto-chan Kaza-chan, do you guys know the name of those ring-like things used for parties that connect together? Oh okay, thanks」

After muttering as if to herself, Suzune answered Aoba.

「Koto-chan and Kaza-chan say they don’t know either」

「Yeah? Maybe it’d be best to look it up on the internet」

「Mhm. Let’s check it out later」

「But wow, that’s convenient. The telepathy between you three」

Aoba referred to it as convenient.

Using that term without ill intent was a kind expression, which Aoba used unconsciously, and Suzune took it as it ought to be taken.

Even though they were rivals in a sense, they weren’t enemies.

Which was why they naturally spoke that way.

「Mhm, it’s super convenient！」

「Cause you’re triplets. Can you do anything else？」

「This is the same sort of thing, but if we can at least see each other, just by thinking it――we can communicate via our minds」

「Like eye contact？」

「I think it transmits things more vividly than that」

「That’s amazing, is there any sort of restriction？」

「Mm, we can do it as long as we’re awake」

Suzune tilted her head, looking up at the ceiling and making a pensive face.

「I don’t think there is. A bit earlier, Kaza-chan was in a place where radio waves couldn’t reach, but despite that it still transmitted like normal」

「That’s definitely amazing, as well as useful」

「Although because of that, no one thought we could speak until we were about five」

「What do you mean？」

「Cause we were always together and there was no need to talk」

Suzune explained cheerfully.

「You didn’t speak？」

「Yes, we were always together……I wonder what it was like then? Our feelings and the like were conveyed properly, so there was no need to talk」

「What about your voices？」

「I don’t think we even let out a sound. Though it’s vague to recall」

「Then……I guess you were all quiet children」

「Yes, if I think about it, probably to the point where it was sickening」

Suzune said while laughing.

She herself said that it was sickening, without exaggeration.

There was a peaceful and very friendly atmosphere between the two.

Suzune, who was born as the third of three sisters who all wanted to be loved by the same man.

Aoba, who had three mothers and was raised in an environment where polygamous relationships were normal.

The “two” of them understood each other the most in the Natsuno House and were female friends growing ever closer.

「Ah」

Suzune suddenly changed her expression.

Her face looked surprised, panicked.

「What’s wrong？」

「Just now, I heard from Koto-chan……it seems that Youran got hurt」

「Hurt？」

「Yes, she cut her hand with a kitchen knife……Ah-, again」

「Okay」

Unlike the panicking Suzune, Aoba was more on the calm side……if anything, she was composed enough to smile wryly. She was used to this.

She knew that Kotone and Youran had gone to learn cuisine, so it was expected to cut one’s fingers a bit over cooking. That was why she had that expression.

「Doesn’t seem like she’s ever cooked after all」

「It seems that way……Ah but Koto-chan says she’s getting better at a ridiculous pace」

「Yeah?」

Aoba opened her eyes wide.

「I’d expect as much. Impressive as always」
