Chapter 419: If There Is An Eighth (1/2)

He glared at Hera through his sunglasses, but she wasn’t even looking his way.

She was gazing at all of the ladies at the venue from Taiyou’s shoulder, a hand over her forehead.

“But wow, Yuri-chan has done it again! Cute girls as far as the eye can see.”

Taiyou couldn’t disagree with that.

But that was exactly why he felt uncomfortable.

“Taiyou-chan Taiyou-chan, who do you like the most out of them?”

“…”

“Ah, you can’t answer because you’re in the middle of being a bodyguard. Okay, then how about this…”

Hera leaped off his shoulders, stopping in front of a lady wearing a beautiful, feminine pinkish outfit and pointing at her.

She appeared gentle, with a refined, adultlike beauty.

“How about this one?”

“…”

“Then maybe that one?”

She pointed at a slightly strong-willed lady next to her.

“…”

“Hm hm, could it be this one?”

“…”

Taking advantage of her invisibility, Hera flitted around and about, noisily asking him questions.

Even after one lap, Taiyou did not answer.

He wasn’t able to tell her that he liked nor disliked any of them.

He couldn’t answer.

He couldn’t answer which one was the best.

Because—-

“Don’t tell me…everyone?”

“—-gh!”

He caught his breath, attempting to play it off, but it was too late.

“Everyone? Oho, I see.”

Hera grinned. Taiyou had truly blundered.

An additional blow came to him when Youran glanced over at him.

“Nothing to worry about. I believe that it is the duty of the powerful to accept everything.”

She said as she walked over to the ladies.

On the surface, she was telling him not to worry about it, but there was clearly a message hidden in her words.

It all started with Akiha’s proposal.

Taiyou’s seven brides make their various groups, becoming the leaders, and indirectly giving ownership to Taiyou.

Youran was currently setting that plan in motion, thinking also of the conversation she had with Kohaku.

Before they had even entered the venue, Youran had told Taiyou this: “You may inform whomever you choose.”

That sounded like she was serious.

After all, she had already offered him Juurokuya.

As a possession, as someone to serve under him.

Youran had already done that once.

So this must be her serious side. Taiyou took it as such.

(Everything, huh…”

Taiyou pondered. Was it really okay to just take everything?

He would accept everything.

Everything he took a liking to, everything he wanted.
