Chapter 309 – Raid (1/2)

「Why?」

「Because…」

She clasped her lips together, and remained quiet.

「I see, then we’ll do this…」

「What?」

「Do you want to call me that, or not?」

「I told you, I just can’t call you…」

「That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m just asking you what you want, that’s all.」

「Well…」

She held her tongue again, but she looked a bit different than before.

Now that he had given her conditions that could only be answered with a yes or no, her appearance seemed to change a bit.

That appearance, and the fact that he had thought it wasn’t necessary to ask for the reason for everything that had happened up until now led Taiyou to simply wait for her answer.

One minute passed, and Taiyou still waited.

Three minutes passed, and Youran was still silent.

Five minutes passed, and it all began to be entertaining in a way.

Finally, after a long silence and both having lost track of how long they waited,

「I…want to…」

She had finally given him her answer.

「I see.」

「But, I can’t call you that. I mean…it’s strange for someone like me to call you that.」

「I know.」

He kind of knew why, and so he nodded.

One couldn’t think of a girl like Youran, whether she was in her twintail mode or her Shingetsu mode, calling someone like Taiyou…dear master.

However,

「On the other hand, I think it’s better that you did.」

「What?」

「I don’t really care either way, even if it is strange. But it won’t get you in trouble, so why not?」

「But…I have to think of my role…」

「You’re my wife, what other role is there?」

「…」

Her eyes popped open wide.

「What’s with that look?」

「Why do you have to say it that strongly?! Of all the nerve!」

「Why? I thought I was always like this.」

「…」

Youran cocked her head in thought, but didn’t shake it in denial, she just continued to stare at Taiyou, wide-eyed.

「You want to call me like that, right?」

「…」

「Then do it. Don’t just get blown around like a leaf.」

「Blown around?」

「Yeah, the fact that you want to call me master. Do you want to call me it as my maid, or as my slave?」

「…」

「You said you want Leticia to end up as my slave, so I was thinking that, but I may be wrong.」

「If I say it, will you treat me like that?」

「I’ve already decided.」

「What?」

Hearing this made her eyes open wide again.

「I’ve decided to fulfill your wishes up until you say stop or to leave it alone. Even with something difficult. Even if you want to act the maid or the slave, you’ll still be mine, so nothing changes.」

「Nothing?」

「Nothing.」

He answered quickly and nodded.

Nothing changes, yes, he had said that.

Nothing…strangely enough…would change with him.

「Really?」

「Really.」

「You won’t dislike it?」

「I might for a bit.」

「!!」

「Don’t pout about it!」
