Chapter 280 – Bosom Buddies (2/2)

「Medieval times and before that.」

Taiyou said, and the two talked with Taiyou about it.

「For example, if a poor girl marries into a rich family. Then she lives in a good family with a good husband. Then, she introduces her friend to the same fellow. They have the same experience of being poor, and by doing so she kind of helps out the other poor friend she has.」

「I see.」

「I understand.」

「Well, it seems the most common pattern is sisters doing it. Because sisters are born in the same poor home…but it’s possible for friends as well.」

「「You’re right!」」

Suzune and Kazane said together.

Taiyou didn’t say other information in the story he heard from Kohaku.

The story of the same man marrying sisters, and the reason.

It was important to have a successor back then, as without a direct blood connection you lose the right to speak or even the ability to flourish as a family, back then.

In order to give birth to an heir, one would need the same blood, using those sisters as an example.

It was easy to understand, and a man like Taiyou could understand it quickly.

However, these two girls didn’t expect him to talk about that.

Youran would enjoy that story very much, but the three girls had no reason to be interested.

「Taiyou, what are you thinking?」

「You look like you’re pondering something.」

「…nah, nothing.」

Taiyou smiled and didn’t continue.

He didn’t expect to talk to them about this, and he had no intention to. How he felt right now, he just calmly returned to thinking about how well the room smelt.

When one of the girls were alone with him, he liked to just enjoy the feeling, and kind of zone out.

That’s why he didn’t continue.

Instead, he began speaking about something else.

「I was just thinking about how much I loved you.」

「You’re joking.」

「Yeah, we know right away.」

「I’m not joking, really. I was just telling you some weird story about something Kohaku told me long ago, but because I’m talking to you now, I stopped. That’s why I made that weird face.」

「Well, that’s okay then.」

「Yes, we’ll listen to anything you say.」

「Fine. That’s why I love you so much, it makes me so happy, and I’m fine with that.」

「Okay.」

「Sure,」

After a moment, the two nodded.

「I love you Taiyou.」

「I love you Taiyou.」

「I love you too.」

The held him, saying the same thing.

After exchanging those words, they both looked very cheerful and happy.

That’s because he said he loved them with no joking in his voice.

Because they would laugh at him whenever he said that to them (though Youran would become a bit put off by it), he would tell them that with no hesitation.

Not just that he loved them, but when he would get like that, he would never hesitate.

It was connected to his wives’ happiness.

Because of his first, Aoba, he had thought a lot about this, but now Suzune and the others reinforced it.

「Suzune, Kazane…and you’re listening too, Kotone.」

「「Sure!」」

「For Akiha and Leticia, let’s put our power together and see what happens!」
