Chapter 395: Fairy House (1/2)

Pew pew!”

“Hera! Faster!”

“Roger! As you wish!”

Under the Great Hirose Bridge, Oritate Town’s riverbed. Hera was teamed up with Taiyou against Ruri.

Ruri was already Taiyou’s bride, so there was no real need to fight. However, Taiyou had actually decided to make it a daily habit.

They fought like how one would do radio calisthenics every morning—-except sparring, of course.

“Here I gooo. Hera-chan! Final! Atomic Screw Sinker Atta—-bwah!”

Hera attacked Ruri with a special drill move, but it met with Ruri’s katana and was flung aside.

Still, she took no damage.

Only one person could damage Hera in this world: Taiyou.

Ruri was the strongest person in the world, but even she could do nothing but repel Hera.

She bounced right back, no matter how many times Ruri swept her away or attempted to attack her.

This made Hera feel all the more close with Taiyou.

“Pew pew pew peing more powerful than you at top level. At which point the possibility emerges to defeat you.”

“I see…that could end up being true.”

“Maybe, but I’d rather beat you before I reach that point.”

“Why…is that?”

“Cause there isn’t much of a reason to win against you anymore, is there?”

Taiyou said, and Ruri nodded quietly.

It had been different at first, with Taiyou winning against Ruri being the prerequisite for gaining her as his bride.

So Taiyou had continued to challenge her with that in mind.

But now that Ruri was Taiyou’s, that objective no longer existed. In other words, that meant there was no longer a need for Taiyou to fight with her like this.

Even with the objective gone, Taiyou continued fighting.

“After I level up like crazy, I’ll win against you…is what Hera said before.”

“I sure diiid!”

Hera said, jumping up from Taiyou’s shoulders and flitting around.

“So that’s why I felt like I’d rather win against you before levelling up like crazy. I know it’s stupid, of course.”

“So maybe I should…let you defeat me.”

“No, please don’t hold back.”

Taiyou gave Ruri a smooch.

Hera secretly thought “ooo!”.

Taiyou did this quite often, giving a fairly meaningless kiss when answering questions.

(I guess that’s the secret to getting along with all your brides, eh?)

Hera thought to herself.

To the side, Taiyou was talking to Ruri.

“It only means something to me if I defeat you at your best…Seriously, if you wanted to hold back right now you really could, couldn’t you?”

“Mhm…I can.”

Ruri nodded.
