Chapter 192
Translator: Ranzan
「The face that Youran let them use the mansion in the first place is pretty awesome!」
「Yeah! It’s been a while since I started working here, and the only people she’s let stay is Leticia . 」
「N…mph…」
「And also, this is something I just overheard, but that guy is strong enough to almost beat Shirokiyami in a fight!」
「No…way…」
「Kisss… . 」
The maids kept talking, and while they complimented him, he kissed his partner .
Compliment and kiss .
When Taiyou was complimented, he kissed Leticia, and when Leticia’s name was used, she kissed him .
The maids’ conversation was about Taiyou and Leticia, only those two . Sometimes they would compliment him, and sometimes her .
As they were affected by it, they would continued kissing one another back and forth .
A kiss just with the lips touching…a kiss where just the hearts touched .
Finally, the maids left, and this was a pretext for the kissing to end and for the two to part .
A kiss that understood that as a rule, so it seemed natural that they would part .
There was no reluctance in it .
At least Taiyou thought so, and Leticia thought it was appropriate as well .
They were silent for a bit .
Then Taiyou put his feelings into words .
「You and…」
「?」
「When I kiss you, I start to feel strange . 」
「Ya start to get horny?」
「No, the opposite . 」
Taiyou shook his head and smiled . Calmly…a smile that made one think of a windless ocean .
Leticia was surprised at him, and it was more surprise than one would usually expect .
「I don’t want to do anything…sexual . Not at all . Just want to kiss, you make we want to kiss you . 」
「…」
Leticia was silent, and Taiyou was a bit uncomfortable with the silence .
Sometimes silence is golden, but he was young . Maybe he was getting wrong this relationship that he had just luckily fallen into, he didn’t want to make that mistake .
He was bothered by it, and so he asked Leticia .
「Do you feel bad?」
「Dunno…」
「I see . 」
「Kissin’ you…I don’t dislike it . 」
「Well, that’s good . 」
「Good…」
He cut off the conversation as they looked at one another .
The soft night breeze blew and touched both of them .
「I gotta go . 」
「Yeah…」
She turned her body to leave him . Taiyou reached out to her turned away figure .
「…oh yeah . 」
She stopped as if remembering something, and spoke to him with her back turned .
「This battle, I won it, okay?」
「What?」
Taiyou was puzzled as to what she meant .
She won a battle?
He thought about the kissing battle that had unfolded just now, and was confused by how there could be a winner or loser .
If he was forced to say it…but as he thought he decided to ask her .
「I wonder, I thought it was more of a draw . 」
「Ya can’t say ya won it . 」
「I don’t think I won it, you got half carried away in the kissing while we were doing it . 」
He wanted to say her soul was carried away .
But, he felt she knew what he meant . He had a strange confidence she would .
「Ya got pretty carried away yourself . 」
How, he wanted to ask, but didn’t .
Maybe she wasn’t talking about soul, but he didn’t want to ask her what .
「…」
「…」
They silently looked at each other .
Calmly, and with a happy feeling .
He liked the way that Kohaku spoke in a circumlocuting manner .
He also liked how Youran was very straight in her speech .
Leticia, on the other hand…
He thought maybe it was better that they didn’t use words .
They just looked at each other, and finally Leticia looked away .
He watched her walk away until she and her princess dress disappeared .
「Hewwo, ewwerybody…」
「A new story, all the sudden?」
Almost as if in exchange, Hera quickly warped into the scene . He hit her with a tsukkomi, but not hard enough to knock her to the ground .
She was used to it all and smiled cheerfully, as she returned back to Taiyou .
「Was my pronunciation bad?」
「That’s not the problem…Where the heck have you been, anyway?」
「I was with Macchan . 」
「Macchan?」
Who is that? Thought Taiyou with a turn of the neck .
He thought of all the people Hera had contact with, as he tried to match a face with that strange name .
「Mask the Third-chan…desu . 」
「Got it…」
He suddenly found himself smiling .
「That’s where the ma in Macchan comes from?」
「Yes, desu!」
「I see…so you finally started talking to her . 」
「Yes, and she fought me in the top battle of the world as well . 」
「The top battle…you both fought it?」
「Yes, desu . It was mixed rules, first round three minutes, second round five minutes, desu . 」
「You should have knocked her out!」
「I wanted to, but it ended in a draw . 」
「You always were a cheater…」
He said as tsukkomi again, but found it pointless to make a contradicting statement, since he remembered that every contra gets dicked, and every dick gets countered .
Since Shirokiyami was the world’s most beautiful swordsman, able to defeat any foe, but Hera was undefeatable by any foe but Taiyou .
Even so, it was hard for him to understand how it ended in a draw .
「Kind of strange . 」
He twisted his head and smirked .
「What is?」
「Nothing . You got here the right time though . Do you know where Youran is?」
「Of course, desu . 」
「Show me then . 」
「Sure, desu . 」
Hera showed him, as he entered the mansion again for the uncounted number of times .
「Ah, Youran and Pochi are together, desu . 」
「Oh?」
She nodded, as Taiyou thought it interesting .
Through process of elimination and the progression until now, he thought it would be natural they would be together .
So he didn’t mind, and simply followed Hera .
「Is it far?」
「It should be short because it’s straight ahead, desu . It’s in the middle, desu . 」
「I see . But it is inconvenient, knowing only the direction and distance . 」
「Yes, desu . 」
「That reminds me…Shiro…I mean Mask whatever, did she say anything about me?」
「No…oh!」
Hera clapped her hands together .
「She said next time she sees you she’ll filet you like a fish . 」
「Ah…」
He understood what she meant . She probably would .
Attacking her in that way like he did, using the necessary means to an end, he had forced a kiss on her .
That first kiss was one that was her important first kiss .
It wasn’t by her will, but forced on her .
With how angry she is, he wouldn’t complain if she cut him up for it .
「Well, I’ll spend some quality time with her next time . 」
He said with a smirk . She wouldn’t cut him up, but he thought it might be good for her to vent her anger at him .
They continued walking forwards .
「It’s here, desu . 」
Where Hera brought him was the same as with Kohaku, a nice salon-type of a room .
He was about to say something and hit someone, but he decided against it .
After seeing her figure, he decided not to .
「You said you had something to say to me?」
Her hair was down, and she spoke abruptly in her 『Shingetsu no Kami』mode, as Youran Juunishima .
「Um, princess…maybe I shouldn’t be here?」
He was a bit lost, as Youran’s little sister Pochi asked to leave .
「No, please stay here . 」
And a face he hadn’t seen for a while, the cold genius Sakura Juunishima .
They were all there, the three sisters .
The had a feeling of power about them that surrounded the room .
Taiyou couldn’t find the words to say, and couldn’t find the timing to enter the room to say them .
