Chapter 446: Face-Off Strong, Then Flow Along (1/2)
“Hey, you sure it’s okay for you to stay here?”
Akiha asked Taiyou.
“We’re on vacation for once, so you could go to where one of the other girls are or run along the beach with your schlong hanging out or something as part of your daily routine.”
“What kind of routine is that…”
Rudely interjecting, Taiyou swapped the towel Aoba had with another one.
“I’m fine staying here, really.”
“Yeah?”
“This is just another form of flirting anyway.”
“…Get the hell out of here.”
Akiha said after a brief moment of astonishment.
“Why?”
“I won’t let you be the one to flirt with Aoba.”
“Ehhh, but all three of us are here right now, let’s flirt together.”
“Aoba’s mine, boy.”
“But you’re mine too. The theory of the master behind the master.”
Taiyou quickly recalled Pochi.
Taiyou and Akiha continued to jokingly throw strong words at each other.
She was clearly affected when Taiyou mentioned “flirting”, but despite all the harsh language, neither of them were hurt or minded in the slightest.
(She’s like Ruri.)
Taiyou suddenly thought to himself.
What they did right now reminded him of how he and Ruri would fight, katana and fist.
From a third-person view it was fierce and tense.
And of course the people fighting were serious about it to an extent, nor were they holding back.
But neither of them were hurt.
Attacking with all their might, dodging with all their might.
Missing with all their might.
Taiyou just thought what he was doing right now was similar to that.
By the time it was afternoon, Aoba slowly opened her eyes.
“Huh…Natsuno-kun.”
“Morning.”
“What happened?”
“Wait a sec.”
He took a towel and then slapped it onto her forehead.
“W-What the heck, Natsuno-kun?”
“Yeah, fever’s gone down quite a bit. You should be fine now.”
“Eh? Oh. You mean my cold.”
“Yeah. Lie down a bit more. It’s even worse when you’re in the healing process but overdo it.”
“Right…”
Aoba looked around as she lay down.
“Ah, Akiha too.”
“Ohello!”
“Sorry, did I make you worry?”
“Not at all. Now then, Taiyou. Move away.”
“Huh?”
He wasn’t sure why, but Taiyou decided to just do as she said.
They switched spots. Akiha crouched down where Taiyou was, slapping the towel onto her forehead like Taiyou did earlier.
“A-Akiha?”
“Mhm, fever’s gone down quite a bit I see.”
“B-But Natsuno-kun said the same thing earlier.”
“Yep, sure did.”
Akiha said casually.
“Don’t tell me you…”
“I dunno what ya talkin’ bout.”
Akiha said, clearly on purpose.
Taiyou understood. Akiha was mimicking.
Making the other brides her brides…treating them like lovers.
She was trying to imitate what Taiyou did.
“…Interesting.”
As he said, Taiyou found that interesting.
“Eh?”
“Aoba, you’re hungry right?”
