“Ooo, look at how pretty she is!”

Akiha said as she peeked with her binoculars . She was looking at a traditional j.a.panese restaurant, in which Sakura was sitting straight up on her knees in a long-sleeved kimono . Refinement and s.e.x appeal oozed out of her . Taiyou thought he had known her, but she looked like a completely different person right now .

“…”

“Taiyou?”

“…Huh? Oh, no, it’s nothing . ”

“I didn’t even say anything…but more importantly…”

Akiha stared straight at him with a grin on her face . He felt like she was seeing right through him . s.h.i.+rokiyami also looked in his direction with her hazy eyes, her cute, pale lips opening .

“Time to, pounce on her?”

“No, I will not ‘pounce on her’ . ”

“But you really should . ”

Akiha said . There was some exasperation mixed in with her tone of voice and her face . Taiyou was surprised to see that she was being serious .

“What are you getting at?”

“‘What are you getting at?’, he says . Heeeh . ”

“Mhm…heeeh . ”

The two girls nodded at each other . They seemed to understand each other, but Taiyou felt a bit out of the loop .

“…Anyway, there’s something I need to discuss with you . ”

“Discuss?”

“Yes . ”

He nodded, looking at Juurokuya .

“So you want to stop this affair, or rather, you want to crush the whole thing, right?”

“Y-Y-Yes!”

“Is that what you personally want? Or does Sakursan want the same thing for herself?”

“I…”

“So it’s what you personally want . ”

As soon as Juurokuya had hesitated, Taiyou knew the answer . He still didn’t know what was in it for her, but he at least knew that it wasn’t necessarily what Sakura wanted .

He was becoming increasingly convinced that he had to discuss this with Sakura . There was a woman wearing j.a.panese-style clothing who had just entered, preparing something .

“With that person in there, it doesn’t seem like you can just nonchalantly have a chat . ”

Taiyou thought for a bit, then asked s.h.i.+rokiyami a question .

“Could you make it so that no one enters there for a little bit? Without causing a ruckus, if you can help it . ”

“I can…but…”

“But what?”

“I am…an expensive, lady . ”

“Huh? You still need money?”

Akiha was a bit surprised . She knew that s.h.i.+rokiyami had once lent a hand to Taiyou in exchange for the hefty sum of 40,000 yen per hour, so if that were happening again, it was a bit shocking to her . But s.h.i.+rokiyami slowly shook her head .

“Hug me…one time . ”

“So cheap!”

Akiha blurted out . Taiyou gestured for her to be quiet . s.h.i.+rokiyami tilted her head, adding another condition .

“Then…rub your face against, mine . ”

“I’ll throw in a headpat as well . ”

Taiyou said, and s.h.i.+rokiyami’s face reddened . She quickly stood up, showing her resolution .

Her figure wavered for a second…before she disappeared entirely . The next moment, the woman in j.a.panese clothing slowly crumbled to the ground . Sakura looked shocked, as did Akiha .

“She did that just for some skins.h.i.+p?”

“That’s probably because she’s the neediest among all of you when it comes to that . She prefers regular skins.h.i.+p over kissing or anything like that . That’s how it feels at least . ”

“Oh? That’s kinda interesting . ”

“…So it’s not ‘fantastic’?”

“That’s cause I know about even more fantastic things . ”

Akiha gave Taiyou a little kiss, barely touching him . Juurokuya’s face flushed when she saw that . By this point, s.h.i.+rokiyami had vanished from the room, in addition to the other lady .

“Sooo, they’re gone?”

“Probably went to any other rooms in order to clean up there too . ”

“Quite the feat of strength!”

“But it won’t cause a commotion . ”

Taiyou said, and Akiha nodded .

They exchanged glances before slowly making their way over to the room . Sakura, who hadn’t budged an inch from the sudden turn of events, turned around with a wary glance before giving them a slightly surprised look .

“Why…are you here?”

“She begged me to come here, you see . ”

“New Moon-sama? Why have you come…?”

“I-I-I—-”

“Oh, don’t mind her, she happens to be Juurokuya, the other one . ”

“Huh? Ah, I see . ”

Sakura understood . Taiyou sat on the opposite end of the table, crossing his legs, and Akiha sat next to him . Sakura was kneeling down further away .

“So I heard that you have a marriage interview . ”

“Indeed . ”

“And you are fine with this?”

“Of course I am . ”

Sakura laughed, as if she had heard something silly .

“I was born in this kind of household . I knew from the very beginning that this would be my future . This was supposed to happen, and it makes perfect sense . ”

“Not for Youran . ”

“Well, she still resisted your advances . ”

Sakura smiled mischievously, a bit out of place with the current outfit she was wearing, which actually made it more appealing .

“Besides, if New Moon-sama were to try and find a suitable candidate based on status and upbringing, I doubt she would have ever found a partner in all of j.a.pan . It’d have to at least be the king or eldest prince of some country, or else they wouldn’t be a good match for one another . ”

“You can’t be serious . ”

“It’s the truth . Otherwise she wouldn’t be able to choose anyone and would just pick someone she likes . ”

“I’m not so sure . ”

“Really now? I’ll have you know that New Moon-sama is worth more than anyone can fathom . On the other hand, I would merely fetch a pretty penny . ”

“You’re sisters, and yet you’re that different?”

“Oh, and Adas.h.i.+no-sama is the same way . Since she’s not quite as high-up as New Moon-sama, the chances of getting into a political marriage with her aren’t nil . ”

“The way you say that, it sounds like you’re affirming it . ”

“It’s actually an honor, although I wouldn’t expect everyone to understand . ”

“You shouldn’t have been the kind of person to accept this, as far as I recall . ”

“Oh, was I not?”

Sakura made a graceful smile .

“And if I weren’t that kind of person, what would you do about it?”

Taiyou quieted down, thinking about what to do . He glanced at Juurokuya, who was the one who had pet.i.tioned him to come in the first place .

“What do you want to do? You want to stop her, right?”

“Y-Y-Yes!”

“…Then that’s what I’ll do . ”

“You’re going to help her?”

“There’s also the way Youran’s been acting . I’ll put a stop to this for the time being . ”

“Well aren’t you a stoic one . By the way, I’ve been constantly chasing after you, getting reports from my subordinates . ”

“Chasing me?”

Taiyou wondered what she meant all of a sudden .

“I also know that you’ve gotten your hands on s.h.i.+rokiyami . ”

“…And?”

“What I’m saying is that we have a countermeasure . ”

“Countermeasure?”

“As in we have prepared the perfect viper for your mongoose . ”

“?”

He didn’t quite get it at first, but then it slowly dawned on him . The image of a certain person came into his mind . Viper and mongoose . A venomous snake . The natural enemy .

The sliding screen doors opened, revealing two girls: s.h.i.+rokiyami and her older sister .
