Chapter 366: The Sun and the North Wind (2/2)
Sakura was about to continue saying something when Taiyou cut her off.
“Is this heavy baggage of yours something that would hurt everyone else?”
“Huh?”
“Would it cause you to point a spear at the six wives I have?”
“…”
“I’d prefer it if you answered me honestly.”
“…Probably not.”
“It would not?”
“No, it would not. However, stabbing you or slicing off a certain part of your body while you sleep and nuking it in the microwave is completely plausible.”
“Now that’s just scary in and of itself.”
He could feel a shiver run through his lower body.
Taiyou grinned, continuing the conversation.
“Then, no problem.”
“Really now?”
“Not for me at least.”
Taiyou declared.
“Objective and method.”
“Ah, you like using that phrase, don’t you?”
“The objective in this case is to acquire you and to make all of my brides happy. I really don’t care about much else in comparison.”
“That’s so like you.”
“But that’s also the most difficult thing right now. Youran’s existence seems to create a conflict with this situation. We have to figure out how to dispel this conflict.”
“…”
“What should we do? What should I do?”
He asked, but Sakura did not answer. Taiyou waited patiently.
Silence filled the room. Nothing could be heard other than their breathing. Taiyou almost felt like it was so silent his ears hurt.
During that time, Taiyou gazed at Sakura, patiently waiting for her to speak again.
“Darling…you’re naive.”
“—-!”
Someone had suddenly intruded on their conversation.
Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw Ruri standing on the veranda.
Taiyou stood up, opening the sliding window frame.
“Why’re you here?”
“I sensed…someone’s hesitation.”
“Hesitation?”
“Because I’m…connected with Darling.”
“Connected? You mean via the heart or whatever?”
“Mhm…heheh.”
Ruri puffed out her chest.
He would have never guessed that this mischievous gesture of hers would look so adorable.
“But what did you mean by naive?”
“Just what I said…you are naive, Darling.”
“No, I’m asking how I’m naive.”
“The sun and…the north wind.”
“…Pretty sure I’ve been the sun my whole life, yes.”
“Darling…you fail as the sun.”
“Wha?”
“Double…meaning.”
“Are you replacing me as the sun or what?”
He asked, ignoring her previous statement.
“Mhm…just watch me.”
Ruri began glowing, her hair fluttering.
