Chapter 296: A Mere Woman (2/2)
“I’ll make some tea for us.”
Suzune and Kazane said, entering the condo with Sakura and waiting for the elevator. Kotone, who was in the room ahead, knew of the visitor’s arrival, so she proceeded to get things ready.
“Is New Moon-sama here?”
“Yes.”
“Actually, everyone’s here other than Taiyou-san…Ah, it seems that Youran-chan is on the roof.”
“Is that so. I would like to talk to her in a more comfortable setting, so might I wait in the room for her?”
“Well, sure.”
“It’s just, Youran…”
“No need to fret. You girls are senpais to her anyhow.”
The two of them thoroughly understood the meaning of the word senpai, but they denied it.
“It has nothing to do with being her senpai.”
“There is no upper or lower status amongst us. In the sense that we are all Taiyou-san’s wives, we’re all equal.”
“You really feel that way?”
“Eh?”
“Oh, I’m not trying to press or anything. I just meant exactly what I asked. I was curious as to if you were thinking along those lines.”
Sakura said, and Suzune and Kazane smiled simultaneously.
“Yes, we are.”
“Actually, I think that everyone thinks that way.”
“New Moon-sama as well?”
“Eh?”
“I wonder if she views things the same way.”
When Sakura said that, Suzune and Kazane exchanged glances. They had felt some ulterior implication in those words. But regardless of what her intentions were, the answer to that question would be no different. At least, to the three sisters.
“Yes, she does.”
“Really, now.”
“Umm, that’s because Youran-chan is an amazing person, isn’t it?”
“Yes, to put it concisely. Her power…is comparable to the king of a small country.”
“Is that right?”
“You don’t seem to be all that shocked. Maybe you don’t quite get the picture?”
“No, we get it all right. It’s just…”
“Yeah…”
Exchanging glances again, they grinned.
“To us, the most important thing is that she’s one of us- Taiyou’s brides. We don’t make a big deal of anything else really.”
“…He truly is an amazing person. I only know of three other men who have had women say such things about them.”
“Well yeah, he’s Taiyou-san after all.”
“Yes, because he’s Taiyou-san.”
“I’m envious of you folks.”
Sakura crossed her arms, smiling graciously. The elevator came to them, and the three of them got in together.
