Chapter 402: The Beginning of Nigh (2/2)
“W-Why the reluctance?”
“Well, look…”
“Aye, well, I’m sure that she doesn’t realize it herself, ja.”
“You too, Kohaku-tan?”
“Dummy, you dummy.”
“I’m what now!?”
“Then…a foolish commoner?”
“Now I’m pretty sure I’m hearing straight up insults!?”
Following Taiyou, the other brides all let Hera have it.
Hera wasn’t sure why they were saying such things.
Taiyou took another sigh before speaking.
“You know you were called over by Youran and the others already, right?”
“Yes indeed. Everyone is horrible for calling me over and then suddenly leaving me hanging.”
“…And you still don’t realize what happened?”
“Realize what?”
“C’mon, you couldn’t go through the wall earlier.”
“…Ohhh!”
After a bit, Hera clapped her hands together as if being suddenly enlightened.
“Yes, now it makes sense, indeed. I couldn’t take out my rage on any of them because I couldn’t go through the wall—-wait, what? Why could I not go through the wall?”
Hera looked at the wall, cocking her head.
“Isn’t it cuz she can touch it now?”
“Can touch it…”
“Do I have to spell it out for ya? The wall became something you could touch. So it’s a success.”
“…Ohhh!”
Hera reacted the same as earlier.
“Did you…seriously not realize that?”
“Well, I guess that’s sort of to be expected with her?”
“Exactly.”
The door opened, and Youran and the others filed in.
The brides who weren’t able to participate in the fight also entered the room, and now the entire Taiyou household was together.
“Master, leave the rest to me.”
“Okay, gotcha.”
“Please rest now, everyone. We have rooms and every necessity all gathered for you.”
Sakura said.
“And you guys?”
“We will be…”
“Going to…”
“Begin discussing Hera-chan’s clothing with her.”
“Kay.”
Akiha nodded.
Leaving Hera there, Taiyou and the members who had fought in the battle left the room.
Sakura’s subordinates had been waiting outside, and they led them to the rooms they would be staying in.
Taiyou entered, supporting Kohaku.
“Alright, good night.”
“Good…night.”
Akiha and Ruri said to him.
Taiyou turned back, his eyes slightly widened as he spoke,
“What are you saying? You guys are coming in too.”
“Eh, but…”
Akiha said, looking at Kohaku.
Taiyou grasped her chin, kissing her.
“Just come in.”
He said.
“O-Okay…”
Akiha’s face went red as she followed Taiyou into the room…
And there was Ruri, somehow ahead of them, gazing at Taiyou with excited eyes.
