Chapter 397: Bridal Repaymen (2/2)
“But it can’t be helped, indeed. There is indeed nothing that can be done.”
“Are you completely sure about that?”
“If it’s someone who’s kissed Taiyou-san, you can touch them, right?”
“Then what about items that Taiyou-san has kissed? I think something like that was in a manga before, if I recall.”
“Ohhh!”
Hera clapped her hands.
“That indeed might be possible. I will go see Taiyou-chan real quick.”
Hera said, slipping through the wall and rushing outside.
Hera flew over to where she sensed Taiyou was.
When she did so, Hera found herself in the commercial district area, watching Taiyou and Ruri heading home from school side by side.
“Taiyou-chan Taiyou-chan.”
“Hm? What is it?”
“Taiyou-chan, do you have a handkerchief or something on you?”
“Uhh yeah, I do? Kotone supplies me with it every morning.”
Taiyou took out the handkerchief.
“You are to kiss the handkerchief.”
“Say what?”
“You are to do it quickly. This is an experiment to see if I can touch anything you’ve kissed.”
“Ahh, that’s what you mean.”
Taiyou nodded, putting his lips on the kerchief and giving it a smooch.”
“Here you go.”
“Yes indeed…mmm, looks like I still can’t touch it. How unfortunate.”
“But why the sudden impulse?”
“The triplets were making slippers. But I cannot touch physical objects…”
“Ahh, so that’s why you came to test out if you could touch anything I kissed.”
“Yes indeed.”
“Although you can touch anything while I’m holding it. No point if that’s the case.”
“Yes indeed. Welp, guess that’s that.”
“There probably…is a way.”
Ruri said. Taiyou and Hera both looked at her.
“And what would that be?”
“Those…your wings.”
Ruri said, pointing at Hera’s wings.
“My wings?”
Hera looked blankly at her battered wings.
“…Ahhh!”
Taiyou realized something, raising his voice.
“W-What’s the matter?”
“Blood Soul.”
“Blood Soul?”
“Yes, that katana. You were able to touch it, remember?”
“…Ohhh! Yes indeed, I remember that.”
“All you have to do is make something that doesn’t rampage or attack the mind.”
“Mhm…just make it like that.”
“Hold up, I’m going to try asking Youran or Sakura.”
Taiyou took out his phone to make a call.
Youran answered and listened to what he had to say.
[Yeah, you can do it.]
“Really?”
[But it will cost you a pretty penny, Master. The material fee is about a million for one set of clothing, I think—-]
“Go ahead and make it.”
Taiyou immediately answered.
“I’ll do anything it takes to get the money over to you later.”
[…Alright. Then I’ll get in contact with the sisters.]
Youran said, hanging up.
Taiyou put away his phone, looking at Hera.
“She says you can. You’re in luck.”
“But but Taiyou-chan, I think I heard a seriously high price.”
“Don’t worry about it. More importantly…”
Taiyou said as he stared straight at Hera.
“I’m more than happy to give you a present.”
“Taiyou-chan…thank you, indeed.”
Hera clung to Taiyou in an emotional manner.
“I will also…use my money.”
“No, just leave this to—-”
“I am in debt to her for bringing us together…I wish to repay that favor.”
“…Okay.”
Taiyou and Ruri nodded at one another while Hera’s face went blank.
Later, the financial muscles that were Youran, Sakura, and Kohaku would come and have their say.
And this was how Operation Dress-Up Doll Hera began.
