「……What was that？」

「She said to strip」

Nazuna answered in a composed tone.

If it were one of his brides, he would have absolutely no problem with it, but this was the mother of said bride――in other words, the existence known as a mother-in-law.

It was wrong in many ways for someone like them to look at him naked.

「What are you saying?」

Taiyou repeated himself with a different implication.

「Strip. If you will not be so kind as to do it…」

「……If I will not？」

He gulped.

Unexpectedly, Nazuna with her usual faraway vibe had been emitting a difficult-to-define pressure.

She spoke out cooly.

「Mio-san will strip instead」

「……Eh？」

「That’s fine, right Mio-san?」

「……What on earth are you saying?」

Taiyou still couldn’t say anything else.

That was just how unclear Nazuna’s words were.

「If you will still not strip」

「……If I won’t strip？」

「Then I will strip in front of Taiyou-kun」

「Uhh no wait――」

The moment he tried to interject, he heard a bang from the entryway.

When he turned around, Akiha in the school uniform was standing there.

「Huh? Why are you――」

Taiyou was surprised that she was here instead of school.

Which was why he was too late to grasp the current situation.

「……」

Akiha had an angry look on her face, walking over determinedly to Taiyou from the entryway.

She swiftly lifted her right hand――and then swung it down.

Smack！

A dry, piquant sound rang throughout the living terrace.

Akiha had slapped Taiyou’s cheek.

Ironically enough, that helped him catch up to what was going on.

Akiha had only heard Nazuna’s last comment.

I will strip in front of you.

She didn’t say it in an erotic manner, but the action mentioned was bad enough in and of itself.

「You’re despicable」

「No, I mean she’s my――」

「Nazuna-san is your mother-in-law, right. Harems are fine and all, but can you at least have some decency in your choices？」

「N-No, like I was saying」

「Someone like you doesn’t deserve Aoba！」

Akiha said, not listening to any of Taiyou’s explanations. She then twisted around and walked briskly out of Taiyou Castle and away.

The door was slammed shut.

That left Taiyou and the two mothers in law.

「……So what were you planning to do?」

「Nothing at all」

「So now you decide to be serious！」

「More importantly, would it not be good for Taiyou-sama to do something about that？」

「If anything, I have no need to do anything」

「Oh？」

Nazuna tilted her head in puzzlement.

「There isn’t anything that can be done about that. In a situation like this, the worst that could happen would be Akiha dashing over to Aoba and tell her we were doing strange things, but would Aoba actually believe that？」

「You have some self-confidence there」

「Not at all. Not in myself, but in her」

Taiyou pointed at himself and the two mother-in-laws in turn.
