I become a Living Cheat.

Chapter 35: Loli Kiss

「Junishima Youran?」

Taiyou repeated the name he just heard from Kohaku.

And he looked towards Yurikago, she was glaring at Kohaku with a face full of displeasure. Seeing her in such a bad mood probably meant that what Kohaku said was the truth.

In other words, it was her real name.

When Taiyou was thinking about what could be wrong with having such a name.

He suddenly realized something.

「Having the name Junishima, are you perhaps a relative of Sakura?」

「Junishima Sakura? Umu, I heard that they were half-sisters born of different mothers. Sakura wasn't born from a legal wife nor was it from one of the concubines, she is apparently a child born from a mistress」

「Is that so?」

「Who cares about such a thing」

Youran brushes it off as if it was something really trivial.

「Is that so? No hang on a minute, if you and Sakura are sisters, then why are you trying to hinder her plans? Is it because she is your half-sister? 」

「It can't be explained in such a simple manner」

Youran let's out a sigh and displays an expression of resignation.

「You, how much do you know about the Junishima clan?」

「.......To put it bluntly, it's to the level that I don't even know how to write the name. Sakura has mentioned that it was a way of writing that was an unimaginable, and it was writing Island twelve times in a row 『Shima, Shima, Shima, Shima, Shima ,Shima, Shima, Shima ,Shima, Shima, Shima, Shima』」(TL: Juni= twelve, Shima= islands)

「Kukuku, To come up with something like writing Shima twelve times, what an interesting way of thinking. If that was truly how it was supposed to be written, I wouldn't be surprised if it appeared in the Guinness book of records. That's because the longest family name in the history of this country is at best 5 characters」 (Kohaku speaking)

「Then how do you write it?」

「It uses the character 『双』from the first part of the kanji for "twins", the Chinese numeral for 『六(six)』 and lastly the kanji for 『島(Island)』, combined together it is 『双六島』」

「Pair.......Six......Island. Ahh, so because there are a pair of two sixes, it totals to 12. Indeed, if you weren't told how to write it directly, it would be hard to reach such a conclusion by yourself. To be frank, after seeing the characters I assumed that it was read as "Sugorokushima"」(TL: Sugoroku 双六, is a traditional Japanese board game played with dice)

「Well Japanese family names are often derived from geographical locations」(TL: some examples: Yama= mountain is very commonly used by Japanese people or Mura for village etc)

「Ahh, In the case of Westerners, they have a lot of their family names based on occupations」(TL: example: James Baker, Fabbri =blacksmith, Chandler= candle seller/maker)

「Even Junishima is a place name. In Japan the Junishima island is the third largest island located on the Sea side of Japan. Also, the Junishima family has been the landowner of the island for over 1000 years」

「Hee」

「And, I am a daughter from that family. So is that foolish woman over there」

「You aren't just a mere daughter, isn't that so?」
