I become a Living Cheat.

Chapter 46: Uninvited Visitor

「I think that it corresponds with how she was so restricted when growing up in life」

「Restricted?」

「It has the meaning of a "bird in a cage". Well...these kinds of things happen quite often in this world」

「A bird in a cage....」

「I don't mind if you sympathize with her, but you should also know that there are some birds who will return to the cage by themselves, after the entrance has already been flung open. Not everyone in this world, wishes to slip out of their cages nojya. There are birds who cannot survive without the cage, and there are also birds who find it more comfortable to live in such a place」

「.....Ah」

「Well, we will meet her again soon enough. Life is unexpectedly long, and at the moment you don't expect it the most, you will probably meet her again nojya」

「When you are the one saying that life is long, it makes it more persuasive」

「I've lived until there isn't many years left in me, so it's natural jyaro」

「There not much left desuka〜?」

Hera asked a thoughtless question. It was almost like she herself was an elderly person, talking to someone in the same situation as her that kind of care-free question.

「Umu, it's as short as a principals morning assembly」

「Isn't that a considerably long time?!」

「Well the amount of time I've lost is plenty enough」

Kohaku was smiling from ear to ear. The two people began toward the opposite direction from where Yurikago was going.

Taiyou and Kohaku was walking in a straight line together, and Hera who was flying around them was bustling about. In this kind of line up, they walked home whilst making idle talk.

Not disregarding the fact that they could be attacked at any moment, Taiyou was alert to his surroundings even as he had a light hearted conversation with the girls. If an enemy were to show up, he was ready to counter attack at once, and in the worst case scenario he would do his everything to at least protect Kohaku from harm.

In the end though, all that vigilance was for naught. It's not really clear whether that was because Shirokiyami held them back successfully or because of some other unforeseen matter. Although he didn't know the exact details, they all arrived at Taiyou's apartment flat without an enemy ever showing up.

「Taiyou-san!」

「Woops!」

As soon as he opened the door to his apartment, the three triplet sisters jumped on him.

The jump by the three girls was almost like a tackle. Although Taiyou was caught off guard, he managed to hold his ground and bring the three girls all in his arms.

「Hou」

Seeing this scene, for some reason or other Kohaku leaked out a voice of admiration.

「I'm sorry, I've made you guys wait, are you guys alright?」

「Yes, we are all fine」

「More importantly is Taiyou-san alrig......Hyaa!」

「Wha, what happened to your face?」

「Eh?」

The three sister's were shocked by the unexpected change. Taiyou was thinking "Let me see..." to himself as he touched his own face.
