Volume 3 Chapter 3 Part 4

Though he was embarrassed and was twisting around blushing, Yoshiharu finally blurted it out under Frois’s angelic and gentle smile.

「…Er, how to I go about saying it…uhm… Ever since coming to Sakai, some stuff has been on my mind… 」

「What can that be? I won’t tell anyone, so please tell me. 」

「Er… Uhm… I don’t really care about other girls, but the girl who accompanied me here to Sakai suddenly said something like, ‘This city is full of memories of my first love’ and I… ever since then, I don’t know why, but for some reason that has really bothered me. To be completely honest, that girl has always been treating me like a pervert…, and all she has been talking about lately is her first love, and it has been so vexing to me that we ended up quarreling about it. 」

「Okay, I see. Thank you for sharing your story with us… now get the hell out, bastard! 」

Bontenmaru flared up and yelled at Yoshiharu after hearing the story.

「This is jealousy. In the teachings of the Lord, He said humans have always been plagued by the Seven Deadly Sins: Pride, Envy, Wrath, Greed, Sloth, Gluttony and Lust. That’s why the feeling of jealousy, which is governed by the Deadly Sin of Envy, causes you such a great pain.

「N-n-n-no, I am sure that it is nothing as serious as that! it’s just that I thought that this girl might be feeling something towards me, just like I’ve been having feelings towards her… I was living under such an assumption, or I guess an illusion… and now that I know that this might not actually be the case, I feel so dumb for having such a ridiculous thought in my mind… so I’ve been feeling quite troubled about this… Ahhh, how do I describe this?! I just don’t know anymore! 」

「Hehehehe… ‘The Seven Deadly Sins’, huh? So cool… This sentence is just too cool! As expected, the Lord’s teachings are so trendy right now! 」

「When troubled by jealousy, one must never wonder by himself, but instead should engage in a proper conversation with the other party. This is the most important thing to remember. 」

Frois said gently.

「Once the seed of jealousy plants itself in your heart, it will slowly grow, and from there, it might lead you astray towards trouble. Besides, you haven’t determined who or what this first love of the girl that you like is, right? Maybe it’s just an elephant or something? 」

「No, it must be a guy with a pretty face, since she told me that much. Just what happened between them here in Sakai… How far did they take their relationship…. Damn! I just can’t stop myself from thinking about it! 」

「I don’t really know what makes a man considered to have a pretty face, but when did this first love of hers happen? Was it something that took place just recently, or was it a long time ago? 」

「… I don’t… *GASP!* 」

Under Frois gentle reminder, Yoshiharu suddenly realized something important.

「…Oh my god! Now that you’ve said it, she did said she hasn’t been to Sakai for 10 years! In other words, that first love happened 10 years ago! So at that time, Nobuna was the same age as this brat right here! 」

「Hehe. It seems that you really care about Nobuna-sama, Yoshiharu-san. 」

「Damn it, I said the word ‘Nobuna’ without thinking! Gosh, her current identity is Kichi-sama, the daughter of Owari’s Uiroumochi store owner, and I agreed to call her that, so why…?! 」

「It’s ok. When it comes to the confessions of lost lambs, we will definitely not say a word to anyone. 」

「Sagara! You called me a brat, but you’re not much better yourself! A mere servant dares to have feelings for his own master?! Hehehe, this is such an unheard of sin. What audacity you have! 」

「I-I d-don’t have feelings for her! 」

(Bontenmaru, you brat, don’t say things like that so loud!!!)

Yoshiharu started to worry a little. But thanks to that, he had finally understood that Nobuna was just joking with him. Though her tone made it sound like she was still infatuated with her first love, it was just a childish infatuation, and not something that he should be legitimately worried about.

「That damn woman… she made a fool out of me yet again! Looks like it’s time for us to settle all the grudges once and for all! 」

「It’s not good to be angry. Maybe she just wanted to see Yoshiharu-san feel jealous? 」

「She did? Damn, how can she possiblu be so cute… but no! She is totally different from Frois-chan, not cute at all! 」

「But, you are still loyal to Nobuna-sama, right? 」

「Hmmm. It’s because I know that Oda Nobunaga, no, Oda Nobuna was born to bear the great responsibility of uniting the Sengoku era Japan. She herself believes the same, and strongly too. So she always thinks of this country’s people, yes… I-I-I-I’m definitely not smitten with her because of that or anything! Rather than her, a gentle and big breasted girl like Frois-chan would be much more up my alley! 」
「I-I appreciate the compliment, b-but m-my heart and body have already been offered to God… 」

Facing away from Yoshiharu’s eyes, Frois became embarrassed, with her ears turning all red.

「And I’m a foreigner. Be it the hair color or the shape of my eyes, they are both different from the people of Zipangu… I’m not as pretty as the girls in Zipangu too… especially their small and delicate breasts. That’s why the men in this country would definitely not like someone like me… 」

Ahh, what tragedy this is. For a girl who has such demonic curves and angelic features to come to this eastern island, but yet be totally unappreciated. And she even said the cliched line that her heart and body have been offered to god! If she really is going to be ‘married’ to God, won’t those bouncy and delicious tits leave Yoshiharu’s grasp forever?

(That would be such a waste!)

To Yoshiharu, who is always standing on the side of cute girls, this fact cannot be tolerated.

「Frois-chan, stop saying such dumb things! 」

「???」

「The future Japanese men are more than used to golden hair beauties because of their presence in animes! They are even existences that are universally admired! Since the ‘Record of Lodos War’ anime, golden-haired elves have been determined to be the most beautiful race ever! 」

「…S-sorry. I don’t really understand… An-ni-me…? 」

「Some of my classmates dyed their hair to chestnut or blonde, and even started wearing contacts toeliminate the need to wear glasses, which was a huge loss in and out of itself! The pure ‘black-haired with glasses’ look is beautiful in its own way, so changing it like that is a bit regrettable indeed! But that means that hair color and eye color isn’t that much of a big deal! As long as you like it, there is no need to care about others! 」

「Can the girls in the future freely change their hair and eye color? 」

「Of course! There are even girls who are bothered with their small breasts, so some of them even go through operations to make their breasts even bigger! 」

「Op…er…ation? …What kind of magic is that? 」

「Frois, don’t listen to him! He’s just spouting lies in order to deceive you! 」

「Shut up, brat, I’m not lying! I’m speaking the truth and only the truth! 」

「The future that Yoshiharu-san described seems very interesting. I also feel more confident thanks to you… 」

Frois smiled.

(Ahh, as expected from the smile of an angel…)

Yoshiharu totally felt like he was ascending to heaven.

「There will be lots of mixed blooded people in Japan in the future. They are welcomed in the modeling and showbiz world. 」

「Yoshiharu-san. What are mixed blooded people? 」

「Children born from both Japanese and foreigner parents. So as to say, a foreign marriage. It’s very common in future Japan. 」

「Wait, Sagara! Is what you say really true? 」

Bontenmaru, who was still on his lap revealed a rare serious expression while staring at Yoshiharu.

「What is it, you brat? 」

「If you’re lying, I’m gonna beat the crap out of you! 」

「What good does it do me to bluff? Why are you so angry about this? 」

Frois extend her hand and touched Bontenmaru’s nervous head gently.

「…Actually, Bontenmaru isn’t her father’s real daughter. I’m the illegitimate child that my mother had with a Namban merchant. Because of my blonde hair, it could hardly be kept a secret. As I’m the proof of my mother’s affair, I have been despised by the people, and the one that father truly loves isn’t me, but my brother.」
