Chapter 379: Second First Kiss (1/2)

The day slowly grew dark in the living room. Taiyou, who had woken up from his nap, immediately surveyed his surroundings. Youran was right next to him, breathing in her sleep. Her hair was unraveled, and her slovenly face was cute. The moment he looked at her he could not resist giving her a kiss on the cheek.

“Ah, I am very jealous.”

He heard a beautiful whisper come from the side. Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw Sakura sitting on the neighboring sofa. In contrast to Youran’s relaxed sleeping face, she was sitting up straight in a tense manner. In her hands was a tablet with an apple emblem. She appeared to be doing something on it.

“Were you awake this whole time?”

“Indeed. I was just doing a bit of work.”

“Sorry for inconveniencing you.”

“Oh, no, I pretty much finished.”

She turned off the tablet screen, turning it over and laying it on the table. This was probably her way of indicating that everything was fine.

“Is it always like this between you two?”

Sakura asked, staring at Youran.

“Yes, it’s basically like this. Although sometimes I force her to do this.”

“Force?”

“Indeed. I want her to just be a normal girl around me. So that’s my way of ensuring that.”

“Oh?”

“Youran and Kohaku, to be more precise. I leave those two alone and they’ll just make things complicated by trying to service me.”

“It appears so, yes.”

“Are you also the type to try and service people?”

“Hmm, well…”

Sakura put a finger to her head in a thinking gesture.

“If a certain someone wishes it, then I might consider.”

“Wishes it?”

“Wishes it.”

He stared into Sakura’s eyes, only to have her stare right back. Despite this, he felt as though she were evading him.

“Phew…”

He had sighed without realizing it.

“Is something the matter?”

“I enjoy our playful banter. But now I’m starting to wonder…if this is for the best.”

“Yes, you may very well be correct.”

“I’m just going to ask you right now.”

He said, preparing for his next question. It was all or nothing.

“Would you like to become my seventh bride?”

“Yes.”
