Chapter 408: Transparent Human? (1/2)

Break time, Taiyou visited the chairman’s office.

Sakura was hugging her knees, sending him a glare as he walked in.

“It’s becoming a rumor everywhere.”

He shut the door behind him.

“Who’s that beauty? That’s what they’re saying.”

“T-There are rumors already?”

“Yeah.”

“A-And what did you answer?”

“No one asked me directly, so I said nothing.”

“Phew…”

Sakura smoothed down her chest.

“Just for reference, could you tell me what I should say?”

“D-Don’t say anything. Nothing about me. Just say you don’t know me. Or say that they’re possessed by something.”

“If that’s what you want, then that’s fine by me.”

He sat next to Sakura, moving his hands to her shoulder.

She resisted at first, but eventually just gave up and rested her shoulder against him.

“This embarrassing play…it’s too much.”

“I didn’t mean to make it that sort of play, I just wanted you to come with us.”

“…That’s a lie, isn’t it.”

“Yes, yes it is.”

Taiyou casually admitted.

“Yes, I do want to show off. Tell everyone that my brides are all beautiful. A bit childish, huh?”

“…That’s horrible.”

Sakura said in a pouty tone. Well, that made sense.

“I do feel bad…but, I can’t resist.”

“…So you just want to show them, yes?”

Sakura whispered.

“Eh?”

“You just want to show them, is what I asked.”

“What do you mean? What else can I do? That’s it, just show you off.”

He asked her, and Sakura responded with a slightly peeved face.

“You aren’t going to let us be touched by other men or—-o-or hand us over to them, is what I meant.”

“…Nah.”

Taiyou took a knee. His face showed his recognition of what she meant.

He knew about those kinds of people with those interests (via Kohaku and her knowledge).

Letting other people use their possessions and watching it to enjoy themselves.

That was what Sakura was talking about. Taiyou had no such hobbies, which was why it took him so long to realize.

“Please relax. I would never do that.”

“And I can take you up on that?”

“I can’t promise anything about the flaunting part, though.”

Taiyou admitted implicitly.

The sagacious Sakura quickly understood that, breathing a sigh of relief as she leaned back.

“Then…I shall endure it.”

“Thank you. In exchange, I will do whatever I can for you.”

“I see you’re not saying ‘everything’.”

“If I phrased it that way, I feel like Kohaku or Hera would fly right over to call me out on it.”
