Chapter 391: Deeply Meaningful (1/2)
In the living room, Akiha was gazing intensely at the wall.
“What’s the matter?”
Kotone asked as she emerged from the kitchen to place a cup of freshly brewed tea on the table.
“I can sense my master from Kohaku-san’s room.”
“Master?”
Sakura gave a quizzical glance on the other side.
“You must mean Ruri-chan.”
“Ah, and so that’s what you’re calling her now.”
“Yeah, because I’ve learned a lot from her. And just between you and me…”
Akiha said in a lowered voice.
“When I call her ‘Master’, it’s sort of difficult to tell, but her mood improves and she teaches me all sorts of things.”
“Was she always that simplistic?”
“But then she becomes quite harsh with her training, so it has its merits and demerits.”
However, Akiha’s tone made it fairly clear that she didn’t see any demerits; only merits.
“All things considered, Ruri-chan is amazing. Earlier when I went to her room to deliver her tea, she was there, so I wonder when in the world she could have made her way into Kohaku-san’s room?”
“Couldn’t it just be that she teleported?”
“Mm, well I don’t think…”
Kotone was about ready to deny it, but…
“That’s…not the case, right?”
She looked at Akiha, unsure.
“I dunno. But Master is totally capable of it.”
“Right, right.”
“Taiyou will probably be able to do the same with some sort of skill.”
“Seems that way. A new ability with those wings of light or something.”
“That’s just crazy.”
“Ah man, now I gotta catch up to both of them.”
“I bet that you can do it, Akiha-san.”
Seeing the chat come to a lull, Sakura coughed quietly.
“So about that building…”
“Building?”
“I mean the new house. You know.”
“Oh, that.”
“See, he’s assigned the project to me. So I wanted to hear what you all think.”
Sakura said as she stared at Kotone.
“Where might your sisters be?”
“They’ve gone out shopping, but I think you can leave this to me.”
“So I take it to mean that you have all discussed this already?”
“No, it’s not that. It’s just that I’m connected with Suzu-chan and Kaza-chan.”
“Connected?”
“Yes, via telepathy. Anything I hear or see can be directly transmitted to Suzu-chan and Kaza-chan.”
“Oh, is that how it is? That’s quite different compared to a while ago.”
“A while ago?”
Akiha cocked her head.
“Yes. I met them before I even met him. I believe it was slightly before summer of this year, yes?”
“Yes.”
