Chapter 311 – Promise Number Two (1/2)

The two kissed under the dim moonlight. The autumn wind had a tinge of cold, but the heat of their two bodies were shared even through their clothes.

He pulled the shivering Youran close into his arms.

「Are you cold?」

「Yes, but I’m okay.」

「I see.」

「Um…master?」

As if she wanted to see his reaction, she looked up into his eyes, and asked him with a tone of trepidation. Because it was only a few times that he had heard her say that, it was still fresh, and Taiyou enjoyed it.

「Hm, what is it?」

「Are…you really okay with it?」

「With what?」

「Me calling you like that.」

「Why would I have a problem?」

「Because…I’m Shingetsu no…」

「I see.」

Hearing that, he nodded.

「I think I’m okay with it in front of all the wives, but calling you that…calling you master in front of others is going to make me feel weird.」

「Then just use it when you want to.」

「That’s…impossible.」

Youran looked down and pursed her lips.

He was wondering why it was impossible, and then, in that instant,

「I can’t…hold back…」

She seemed so cute having to explain it all, that he couldn’t hold back now, and squeezed her tightly.

「Kyaa!」

「You’re so freaking cute!!」

「C, cute? What are you saying, I’m…」

「Well, you have no problem with that, right?」

「Of course I do! You know who I am…Shingetsu no Kami, right? I lead over a million people as the ruler of Juunishima….」

「But, you’re going to make me king, right?」

「Well…」

「I mean, it’s not a big deal to me…」

「What do you mean, not a big deal…」

「If you call me that, I don’t know if I’ll be happy or not. You want to, right? Then do it. You’re just resolving a problem then. Yeah, right. Just solving a problem, right.」

「…」

「What’s with that blank look?」

「…hmph.」

Then Youran started laughing.

「Hm…hah hah hahahah.」

「Why the laughing all of a sudden?」

「I can’t believe you’d say something like that so easily.」

「Well, it’s not a big deal to me. Things just end up the way they are.」

「Yeah, you’re right.」

She pushed her face into his chest, and meekly said,

「Thank you, I may not be cute, but love me forever, okay, master?」

「Sure.」

He nodded and held her closer.
