「But do you, Taiyou, really like Aoyama?」
Suzune asked, and Kazane looked directly at him .
There were only the two there, so there was little sound of their soul’s chorus in the question .
Suzune talked normally, and Taiyou though, and answered:
「I don’t know…I don’t know, but, I wonder . 」
「You wonder?」
「I…don’t hate her . 」
「Yeah, that’s no doubt . 」
Taiyou nodded soundly .
He couldn’t totally say he liked her, but he definitely didn’t hate her .
He couldn’t hate a girl that was free-wheeling .
「Is that so?」
Suzune asked, and moved closer to Taiyou .
As did Kazane, as she rubbed her cheek on his chest .
「I love you, Taiyou . 」
「I do too, I’m happy that I met you, and I thank God that we met all the time . 」
「Me too, I’m happy that I met you . I’m thankful for this destiny . 」
「I think you should start to like Aoyama . 」
「You do?」
「I do, and Leticia . 」
「Hm? Why did you mention Leticia all the sudden?」
He tilted his head after hearing that name pulled out of the air .
He looked both at Suzune and Kazane, and answered .
「Um, is that what you’re hoping?」
「Of course it is, right?」
Suzune and Kazane continued as a reminder .
「You are able to have two more wives, right?」
「So we’re saying that both Aoyama and Leticia should be them . 」
「I know that I was talking about Akiha, but why Leticia all the sudden?」
「Well, because Leticia also is in the 『close friends』group . 」
Suzune said, and Taiyou perked up finally knowing what they were getting at .
Close friends .
Akiha and Aoba .
Youran and Leticia .
With that connection, they brought Leticia up for him .
「When close friends like the same person…normally it’s a tragedy, right . 」
「But, you break through that tragedy, Taiyou . I think . 」
「Yeah, normally it becomes a battle, when two close friends like the same person . It’s true, a real tragedy . 」
Taiyou realized they were right in what they said .
He understood well, it pretty much always becomes tragic when two friends like the same person . But in a country that allows a husband with multiple wives or a wife with multiple husbands, you can resolve it pretty easily, but in a country like Japan where there’s only monogamy, it always becomes a tragedy .
「From what I heard from Kohaku, it seemed like there were many like that long ago . 」
「Long ago?」
「How long ago?」
「Medieval times and before that . 」
Taiyou said, and the two talked with Taiyou about it .
「For example, if a poor girl marries into a rich family . Then she lives in a good family with a good husband . Then, she introduces her friend to the same fellow . They have the same experience of being poor, and by doing so she kind of helps out the other poor friend she has . 」
「I see . 」
「I understand . 」
「Well, it seems the most common pattern is sisters doing it . Because sisters are born in the same poor home…but it’s possible for friends as well . 」
「「You’re right!」」
Suzune and Kazane said together .
Taiyou didn’t say other information in the story he heard from Kohaku .
The story of the same man marrying sisters, and the reason .
It was important to have a successor back then, as without a direct blood connection you lose the right to speak or even the ability to flourish as a family, back then .
In order to give birth to an heir, one would need the same blood, using those sisters as an example .
It was easy to understand, and a man like Taiyou could understand it quickly .
However, these two girls didn’t expect him to talk about that .
Youran would enjoy that story very much, but the three girls had no reason to be interested .
「Taiyou, what are you thinking?」
「You look like you’re pondering something . 」
「…nah, nothing . 」
Taiyou smiled and didn’t continue .
He didn’t expect to talk to them about this, and he had no intention to . How he felt right now, he just calmly returned to thinking about how well the room smelt .
When one of the girls were alone with him, he liked to just enjoy the feeling, and kind of zone out .
That’s why he didn’t continue .
Instead, he began speaking about something else .
「I was just thinking about how much I loved you . 」
「You’re joking . 」
「Yeah, we know right away . 」
「I’m not joking, really . I was just telling you some weird story about something Kohaku told me long ago, but because I’m talking to you now, I stopped . That’s why I made that weird face . 」
「Well, that’s okay then . 」
「Yes, we’ll listen to anything you say . 」
「Fine . That’s why I love you so much, it makes me so happy, and I’m fine with that . 」
「Okay . 」
「Sure,」
After a moment, the two nodded .
「I love you Taiyou . 」
「I love you Taiyou . 」
「I love you too . 」
The held him, saying the same thing .
After exchanging those words, they both looked very cheerful and happy .
That’s because he said he loved them with no joking in his voice .
Because they would laugh at him whenever he said that to them (though Youran would become a bit put off by it), he would tell them that with no hesitation .
Not just that he loved them, but when he would get like that, he would never hesitate .
It was connected to his wives’ happiness .
Because of his first, Aoba, he had thought a lot about this, but now Suzune and the others reinforced it .
「Suzune, Kazane…and you’re listening too, Kotone . 」
「「Sure!」」
「For Akiha and Leticia, let’s put our power together and see what happens!」
