Chapter 373: Time Saver (1/2)

“Because one does not simply change fate.”

Youran said, and Sakura made a slightly surprised face.

“I wasn’t aware that you became an apologetic for destiny.”

Right after, the conversation came a halt. It seemed that she had said her fill. She looked over at Taiyou.

“I’m sorry for going off on a tangent, Master.”

“Could you tell me just one thing?”

“What?”

“Was this why you were sometimes acting strange?”

“…”

“Okay.”

Taiyou nodded.

He was also done asking everything he wanted.

“Then I’ll take my leave.”

“Ah, hold up.”

“What?”

“Make sure you’re free tomorrow night. I want to take you somewhere you like.”

“Okay, got it.”

“Oh, and invite Juurokuya while you’re at it.”

“—-Okay!”

Youran hadn’t expected that, but she had a happy expression on her face. Taiyou had initially wondered if it was a good idea to suggest that, but now he was glad he did.

Youran left the room. Now the only ones in there were Taiyou, Sakura, and Hera.

“You will be making love with Juurokuya, then?”

“Yeah.”

“Quite the resolute man you are.”

“That’s cause I figured Youran also wanted something like that. As you can see, I was right.”

“So you did it on behalf of Shingetsu-sama. And you would use Juurokuya to that end?”

“That’s because I’m still not sure if I really feel the way everyone says I do.”

He was talking about something that had happened prior to this.

Taiyou’s brides had all supposedly ‘unveiled the desires of his heart’. In this case, the one he loved was Youran, whereas he did not feel the same way with Juurokuya. Instead, he felt only lust toward her and wanted to become intimate.

At least, that was what everyone had pointed out.

But Taiyou was still a bit skeptical. Although he didn’t think they were lying, persay, but he also thought there might be some sort of misunderstanding. After all, he still didn’t think he felt that way.

“So you will do something that you aren’t even sure about?”

“Well no, I wouldn’t say that exactly.”

Taiyou played it off, shrugging.

“Spending a night with two beautiful girls who have identical faces? Please. I’d be a failure as a man if I said that didn’t appeal to me.”

“So you’re into the whole sibling thing, then?”

Suddenly, it was a much different question.

“No, I do not like you just because you’re siblings.”

“I wasn’t asking a loaded question, though.”

“Then, no. I don’t really like her like that.”

“Then what of the three sisters?”

“Well, they’re all one person.”

“One person…”

“They share the same soul. To me, it feels like they are the soul of one person who happened to be born in three separate bodies. Maybe it’d be easier to understand if I equated it to moving three remote-controlled robots at the same time.”
