Taiyou was all alone in the afternoon living terrace of Taiyou Castle.

As Taiyou was silently raising his level, the Level Fairy Hera had warped before him.

Hera spun around in the air, posing with her fist thrust in the air.

Taiyou secretly called that “The Levelup Dance”.

「Tereretettettehhh♪　Taiyou-chan has leveled up！」

「You finally came. Is it 17 now？」

「Yes indeed. Let’s do an ability cheeeck」」

「Yeah, bring it」

Taiyou punched the palm of his hand.

This was by now a familiar, intimate exchange

He felt the kind of relief that one might feel with marriage after having been together for many years, as if to say「Hey, go ahead and take this」.

As he did that, he chased――after the numbers drifting in『the area between the eyes and the back teeth』, aka the back of his mind.

His points were essentially what he had predicted.

His power especially had been preserved in a high area, which made him feel like he could even go to a bonus stage and do time attack with breaking cars with his bare hands.

He was thinking it was best to somehow use it against Shirokiyami.

「Taiyou-chan Taiyou-chan」

Hera’s voice broke through his thoughts.

As he looked at her wondering what was up, he saw her face gazing worriedly at him.

「What’s wrong？」

「Taiyou-chan, your bandages are red. I think blood is coming out」

「Huh？ Oh, you’re right」

Once Hera had said that, he looked at his body.

There was a slight amount of blood staining the bandages wrapped around his upper body.

After treatment, the blood should have stopped, but his wound had apparently opened up again unnoticed.

「Still hadn’t stopped completely, eh」

「Will you be okay？」

「Well, I won’t die at least」

Taiyou said, tracing the “sliced wound” from above his bandages with his fingers.

It was in a soft manner of touching, yet not touching, like when he slept with his wives the first time.

Nevertheless, the kind of intense pain that made him feel his face was being pulled apart coursed throughout his entire body.

「Ow ow ow……」

「……Taiyou-chan? Could you actually……be a masochist？」

「The hell did that come from！」

He lashed back at the sudden comment with a quip, but that ended up bringing further pain.

Taiyou held down the area around the wound, glaring at Hera.

「The hell are you saying?」

「Cause you are grinning while touching your wound. That has to be a masochistic tendency」

「No, but well, it’s true that I’m happy」

「So you really are a maso――」

「I am NOT！」

Further pain raced through his wound for talking so loudly.

However, he was somehow happy as of now.
