He thought he had gotten quite close to her skill level compared to before. In fact, he was now able to press her into the wall.

But just as he was hot on her heels, she had made the first move and knocked him down. That was how it felt as he gazed upon her far advanced human form.

And that made him…very happy.

“Taiyou-chan, are you grinning?”

“It’s just your imagination.”

Taiyou immediately played dumb.

“Are you sure?”

“Sure am.”

As he said that, Taiyou contemplated his next move. By this point, Ruri had evolved so far that he was no longer able to keep up with her. He doubted that facing off straight against her would accomplish anything. It would just be like if a kindergartener threw a kiddy punch at an adult, only for the adult to brush it aside.

That was the significance of their contrast. But he couldn’t just stand there. And this wasn’t just because of stupid pride. To put it into words, the word ‘love’ would probably fit best.

Just like how you would kiss someone’s puckered lips as they approached you, Taiyou felt the same way about how he should respond to her attacks.

Now then, what to do…

“Come hither, wings!”

Taiyou chanted. The next moment, angelic wings of light appeared from his back, not only illuminating the area but Ruri’s whereabouts as well. This was effective within 2 meters of any wife of his, and it led him to where she was.

“There she is.”

Taiyou muttered. He opened his arms and went in her direction before softly closing them around her in an embrace. The wings of light disappeared, and in their stead, Ruri had returned into his arms.

“Gotcha.”

“That’s…cheating.”

“Is it?”

“Mhm…cheating.”

“But your power is essentially cheating.”

“No, it’s the power…of destiny.”

“Then mine is the power of love.”

Taiyou boldly declared.

“Umm, Darling.”

“Hm?”

“My chest…is tight.”

“Is your heart beating quickly?”

“Very…tight.”

She repeated, clinging onto Taiyou. Warmth, smell, and light gathered in Taiyou’s arms.

“Are you just going to keep glowing like this?”

“I think…I can erase it.”

The next moment, the light had disappeared from her. She had reverted to the former, pale-white Ruri.

“Wow, it’s like a transformation.”

“Except serious mode.”

Ruri glimmered again.

“That’s amazing. By the way, it seems like you got a lot stronger. By your estimation, though, how much stronger would that be?”

“At most…five times stronger.”

“Times?! Not even percent?!”

“So that means…500 percent increase.”

“I can’t even play the straight man when you’re THAT ridiculously overpowered.”

“Should I have not…gotten stronger?”

Ruri’s face looked slightly sunk.

“No, dummy.”

Taiyou flicked her forehead.

“It’s not like it inconveniences me for you to be stronger.”

“Sure it…does.”

“In terms of your marriage, I guess it would just be the equivalent of the husband losing the argument.”

Hera remarked thoughtlessly.

“Well I generally lose arguments with my wives anyway.”

“You do?”

“Not like there’s any point in winning them.”

Taiyou said jokingly. He was serious though. Whenever he got into a fight with his brides, it would always be a situation that didn’t apply to his strength. Since his strength was all he was good for, he would be guaranteed to lose those fights. This had nothing to do with Ruri’s strength.

“No, it’s the opposite with you.”

“The…opposite?”

“Yeah, cause with you I feel it would be more like ‘I’ll forgive you if you beat me in a fight’ which honestly sounds a lot better.”

Ruri cocked her head in puzzlement.

“Then maybe I should…do that?”

“No, it’s a joke.”

Taiyou wryly smiled. He had no intention of getting into an argument with her.

“Then…with money.”

“By golly, does that sound familiar!”

“430,000 yen…for one hour.”

“Did you just raise the price to 10,000,000 yen per day?!”

“No, forget that.”

“Huh?”

“700 divided by 24…so 290,000 yen per hour.”

“Why 700!?”

“Because there are…seven brides.”

“Oho, so that is why it’s seven times.”

“So I’d basically pay for everyone.”

“Mhm…after all…”

Ruri nodded, looking earnestly at Taiyou.

“Anger one person, and everyone gets angry.”

“Ah!”

Taiyou understood what she meant. His household was very tightly connected. Just as Ruri had said, if one person was angered, the rest would share in their anger. It was doubtful that any of them would take Taiyou’s side in that case.

“Guess I’d better avoid angering any of you then.”

“Umm, Darling?”

“What’s up?”

“Have you decided…on the seventh?”

“Why suddenly bring this up?”

Taiyou wryly smiled. Who would have thought that she of all people would bring this up?

“If it’s already been decided…”

“Decided…?”

“Then I will…kidnap them with all my might.”

“Your ‘might’ is freakin’ scary!”

Taiyou’s voice cracked.

This was because she was already the strongest in the world, and had just declared herself to have gotten 5 times stronger than before. There was probably no human that could stand against her. Hera would probably come the closest, since Ruri couldn’t hit her.

“What seems to be the matter, hm?”

From Hera’s nonchalant tone, it was clear that she would be on Ruri’s side if anything.

Taiyou sighed, then smiled.
