Chapter 409: Ribbon (2/2)
Clothing fit for a doll, a ribbon with fine handiwork. He struggled a bit trying to untie it.
“W-What are you doing, Taiyou-chan?”
“What are you doing? Unless—-”
Sakura covered her mouth in astonishment.
This was the same thing Taiyou had done for her earlier, or at least appeared to be.
“Hm? Ah, no, that’s not what I’m doing.”
Realizing what she meant, Taiyou calmly denied it.
And then, loosening Hera’s small ribbon…
“Could both of you wait here for a moment?”
He said, leaving them in the room.
Going out into the hallway, Taiyou was just in time to see one female student walk by him.
She was someone unfamiliar, someone he had never talked to.
“Hey, can I talk to you real quick?”
“Yes…ah.”
The girl’s face turned red as soon as she saw his face.
That was a very common reaction as of late, so Taiyou paid it no heed as he finished what he needed to accomplish.
“Look at this for me.”
He took out Hera’s ribbon.
“What can you see?”
“Eh? This is…cloth?”
“Yeah, and the color?”
“Umm…the same as my ribbon?”
“Yeah? Kay, thanks.”
He thanked her, sending the female student off rather confused as he made his way back to the room.
“She could see it, apparently.”
“Is that so.”
“Eh, eh? What is the meaning of this? What has happened?”
Sakura took no time in comprehending it, while Hera had no idea what was going on.
“Sorry for springing this on you. Here, I’ll put it on.”
“Eh?”
Hera immediately began trembling.
“I-I’m fine, I can indeed do it myself.”
“You can?”
“Yes indeed…Taiyou-chan is an Erosuke, so it’s guaranteed that you’ll try and touch my boobs when you put it on.”
“Like hell I would!”
He returned the ribbon to her. Accepting it, Hera clumsily tried to tie it, but it wasn’t working so well.
“Huh? I just do this here and…wait, what, whawhat?”
The fairy was becoming more and more confused.
“What’s up?”
“You are to wait a moment. It does not seem to be going well.”
“…Is this your first time getting dressed by yourself?”
“Yes indeed?”
“Now it makes sense.”
Come to think of it, she had always had that dress on ever since she first appeared. Hera had probably never changed in her life.
“Then there’s no wonder why you can’t tie it. Here, let me see.”
“Eh? No, I’m—-”
“Just gimme it.”
Cutting her off, he took the ribbon and tied it for her.
Taiyou wasn’t good at it either, but he was still better at it than her.
And as he tied it…
Unbeknownst to Taiyou, Hera’s face became a touch redder.
