“What’s that?”
“The answer to yer question.”
“…So you’re suppressing it with medicine?”
Leticia nodded silently. Her normally sagacious face now had a look of indifference.
“So that’s what you meant by doing something about it.”
“Yup, sure does.”
“Okay.”
Taiyou nodded, then spoke again.
“I’m kind of relieved.”
Leticia’s facial expression completely shattered.
“Relieved?”
The end of what she said sounded shrill. Her face was truly astonished.
“Yeah, relieved. Honestly, I didn’t have the most positive outlook.”
“What kind of outlook didja have?”
“That you might’ve been going at it with another guy.”
“…Whaa?”
“Jealousy, if I had to pinpoint how I felt.”
“Jea—-”
Leticia was at a loss for words. Juurokuya caught her breath to the side.
“Well, that’s good, phew.”
“Good? Listen to ya…”
“Anyhow. Could I see that medicine real quick?”
“Ain’t even listenin’ to me…”
Exasperated, Leticia obediently handed over the medicine bottle.
“Seems to be made like the ones they sell on the market. Was it expensive?”
“The price ain’t nothin’ special. Especially when ya consider that it’s supporting a princess. It’s just that the manufacturin’ time is long—-”
“Hey, wanna know something?”
Taiyou rolled down the power window, and tossed the medicine bottle out.
The bottle rolled onto the asphalt, flying behind them along with the scenery.
“Wha, whatcha doin’ mate!”
“You have any more? I’ll dispose of them, so take ‘em out.”
“Like hell I will! The hell ya thinkin’?”
“Without it, you’ll have no choice but to kiss me, right? You’ll be back with me.”
“I’ll ask someone else, not you.”
“That’s not possible though.”
Taiyou declared confidently.
“I’ll just stick to you like the plague and make sure you don’t see anyone.”
“I can handle it by myself then—-”
“Then I’ll have Ruri watch you.”
“—-ngh!”
Leticia exclaimed.
The world’s strongest sword wielder, Shirokiyami, Tengan Ruri.
That name had a strong impact on anyone who heard it.
“I’ll ask Ruri to monitor you. I’ll even have her slice up anyone who tries kissing you.”
“I-If ya ask that gurl, you’ll go bankrupt.”
“Her service has been cheap lately. In exchange, she asks that I flirt a heck of a lot and I accept.”
“…”
Leticia was really at a loss for words now.

Nighttime, Leticia came yelling into Youran’s place.
“The heck is that man thinkin’!”
“That man?”
Youran stared blankly. Of course she wasn’t so quick to understand what Leticia meant.
“Yer hubbie.”
“You mean Master?”
Leticia nodded. Her eyes were focused in a glare at Youran.
“What about Master?”
Leticia discussed what had happened just now.
What had happened in the car, how Taiyou had thrown out the medicine bottle, and how he had threatened her shortly afterward.
She explained it all to Youran.
“Oh.”
“Why ya so calm?”
“Oh right, I need to be a bit happier about this, don’t I?”
“Haaah?”
“Master finally wants to begin, so I gotta be happy.”
“Ya…whatcha sayin’?”
“So he kissed you?”
Youran asked as a counterattack.
“Hell nah!”
“What a waste. You had him right there with you ready to kiss you.”
“But I don’t even—-”
“Why did you even separate yourself from Master, anyway?”
Interrupting Leticia’s sentence, Youran asked.
“What’s the reason?”
“…”
“There isn’t one?”
“…”
Leticia completely fell silent.
“What a waste. If you were a bit different, Leti, you would have made it in before Sakura. But I guess I should thank you since I became a good amount closer with Sakura. And well it’s also thanks to Master, but yeah.”
“—-ngh! I’m gettin’ outta here!”
Leticia tried to leave the room in the same huff she was in earlier.
“Leti.”
“What!”
“You’d best ready yourself. Master’s serious about this. He’ll probably ask Ruri to monitor and break any bottles she sees.”
“…”
“So you’d best be ready—-or not. Get ready, I should say.”
Leticia had no idea what to say to that.
☆
“So can I count on you?”
“Mhm…leave it to me.”
Ruri nodded in Taiyou’s arms.
“That’s just…easy peasy.”
“I bet it is. For you it sure is. Also, I should add that you stop Leticia when she gets desperate.”
“Of course…I know what you want, Darling.”
“Mhm.”
“Objective…and method.”
“So you started memorizing that too, eh?”
“Your catchphrase…I want to steal it.”
“Steal as many as you want. It’s a spell that’s quite effective in life, if I do say so myself.”
Taiyou said, embracing Ruri.
Hugging one bride while talking about another woman.
And he had no misgivings about asking his bride to do something about that woman.
That was the kind of man Taiyou was right now.
This was the face of the man known as Natsuno Taiyou—-fully molted and ready to fly.
Now that he had reached this level, as horrifying as it sounded, his brides’ love for him was now rising at exponential speeds.
Shirokiyami—-the girl who even darkness itself feared was now all lovey-dovey with Taiyou. You could tell at one glance.
