Chapter 155
Translator: Ranzan
It wasn’t a deep kiss, just a starter that he gave her…a quick peck .
「Whoaaaa…he’s kissing the princess!」
He could hear the rattled voice of Juurokuya behind him . It wasn’t as rattled as when she imitated Youran, but it was still pretty fl.u.s.tered…Taiyou simply ignored her .
As the kiss continued, the sucking lips of the princess had a lemon taste . Even though it wasn’t the first, there was a sweetly-sourness to it .
It was a hot kiss that struck the mind, strong even though it lacked fierceness .
Taiyou thought her kiss was different from all the others .
He continued the kiss for five minutes, and finally, the light seemed to return to Leticia’s eyes .
「Nph…」
Even though she had been at his mercy she had seemed like she began to moan, so Taiyou finally…separated himself from her hot and soft lips .
As he did, she immediately raised her voice in protest .
「What are ya doin’ all the sudden?」
「All the sudden? It was five minutes long!」
「What does that mean?」
Leticia was surprised . She looked around, saw Juurokuya riding along, and asked .
「Is he bein’ honest?」
「Y, yeah! Y, y, you were kissing him for a while!」
「…that so?」
Leticia finally understood . She didn’t protest or even get angry, but just hung her head with a sigh .
Though the truth was she was kissed while she was unconscious, it seemed that she still understood what had occured .
「I hesitate to ask but…do you understand what happened?」
「I have some idea . 」
「Some idea?」
「Cursed blood . 」
She blurted out that strange magic-y phrase . In the real world, there would be a question whether words like that would ever be used .
Even though she used those words, she held her true feelings inside . She wasn’t putting on airs, but her tone showed that she knew what had happened .
「That reminds me, you said something like that before the first kiss as well . 」
「Yeah, the blood flowin’ inside me makes that happen . My sis has the same thing happen to her . I hafta do that from time to time, it’s like it recharges my dead batteries or somethin’」
「Recharge with a kiss…is that what you mean?」
Leticia nodded slightly .
「Yeah, but I’m not really into it…it’s only…it’d suck to not be able to help that idiot . 」
「Well, it makes me really happy though, I get to kiss you again . 」
「Whaa?」
Leticia’s face turned bright red and her silent mouth fell agape . Even in the shadowy car one could tell her naturally milky-white skin had turned red .
「What? What are you sayin’?」
「Ah, you talk just like Juurokuya」
「Don’t compare me to her!」
「Wha?」
Juurokuya was shocked at Leticia’s strong refusal .
As Taiyou looked back and forth at the two, he noticed Leticia firmly shut her mouth .
He was surprised that Leticia’s kiss had captivated him completely .
Just a kiss, a meeting between two pairs of lips . A light kiss that a family overseas might give each other in greeting .
However, it was that kiss had shaken Taiyou’s heart completely .
The feeling was like getting a glimpse of the complexities of light and shadows…like after one falls madly in love .
Taiyou didn’t dare think of what that might mean to him .
「Again?! Are you gonna try to kiss me again?!」
「If you don’t, your batteries will go dead, right?」
「Well…I guess they will . 」
「Listen, this isn’t fair so I’ll tell you honestly . 」
「Wha?」
「I could care less about the recharge, I just want to kiss you more . 」
「Whaaat the…」
Leticia was without words . She had already blushed red as she could from what he previously said, as Juurokuya became even more fl.u.s.tered and swooned .
It was just as he said .
Princess of Phili Kingdom, Leticia H Kellaz . The princess of a respected kingdom with history and traditions, a maiden that had come to this land as a guest of the state .
The most untouchable of all maidens, almost like a rose planted on top of Everest .
To this girl Taiyou had told her straight that he would kiss her and continue kissing her if he had the chance .
「Until this journey is over, if you end up like you just were, I intend on kissing you . 」
「Even without my consent?」
「Even without my consent?」
「Yes . 」
Taiyou said so clearly .
Even so, his heart was far from calm .
The kiss, and his statement that he’d continue doing it without stopping, had surprised him as well .
He understood that at once .
The kiss with Leticia was wonderful…telling her straight in away that blew away all embarra.s.sment and rules…it was sure proof of how wonderful it was .
That’s why he told her, but he had not prepared for her rejecting him .
He noticed that she had no intention of fleeing from him .
(Well…at least until the end . )
After making that decision, he changed the conversation .
「So, changing the subject, what should we do from here?」
「I think I have an joker card . 」
He said just what he needed to, as Leticia’s formerly beet-red face suddenly changed back as she answered him .
「And you’re plannin’ to use it well?」
「The joker…」
Taiyou placed his chin in his hands in thought . In the back of his mind was an older woman… the shape of one of the mothers and daughters that served Saegusa Tsuk.u.mo .
「If I’m going to use it well, I need to know what the situation over there is like . 」
「She ain’t come back yet . 」
Leticia was talking about Hera .
「Something happened to her, I guess . 」
「Maybe she got attacked?」
「That wouldn’t happen . 」
Taiyou clearly answered, but in his heart he was a bit worried, thinking “Maybe…” .
He lined up the proof in his mind why she couldn’t have been attacked .
「The only ones that can see Hera are me and the girls that I’ve kissed, no one else can harm her . 」
「Are ya sure?」
「Shirokiyami . It’s impossible even for her . 」
「Ain’t no way . 」
It was rare for Leticia to speak so seriously, she was so surprised that her voice almost cracked in excitement .
Taiyou remembered that Shirokiyami had once planned on attacking Hera, and he told Leticia about it .
Taiyou and the sisters, after Shirokiyami had spoken about the sisters being able to see Hera, had slashed quickly in the direction where all the sisters were looking .

Taiyou and the sisters, after Shirokiyami had spoken about the sisters being able to see Hera, had slashed quickly in the direction where all the sisters were looking .
She hadn’t sensed her, but with the people that were there had taken a quick guess before she slashed .
And that slash, as an attack didn’t even touch Hera . It simply slipped right through the air she was in .
“Even though she’s the strongest swordsman…”
Leticia whispered to herself .
(Yeah, she is famous for it, that girl)
Taiyou thought about it, and nodded to himself .
「Well, then, somethin’ had to have happened to her . 」
Leticia stressed the word 「somethin’」 . Taiyou agreed with a nod .
「Can we call her to us?」
「No . 」
「Can we go to where she is?」
「No . 」
「Yer just fulla nos today . 」
Since it was just as she said, Taiyou didn’t get angry .
Now they had to figure out their situation, and in that thought they were of one accord .
「All I’m good for is fighting . I have power, speed, but teleportation items don’t work with me . 」
「I’ve see how strong and fast ya are, but teleportation items…how don’t they work?」
「Well, maybe they don’t . 」
Taiyou prefaced what he said .
「Long distance attacks…in a game sense, no long range attacks work on me . Guns, arrows, rockets, missiles, everything . Do you have a gun?」
「Wait a sec . 」
Leticia ordered the black clothed soldier beside her, and he gave her a gun .
「Now go ahead and shoot me . 」
「Really?」
「Seeing is believing . 」
Leticia nodded and silently without a pause shot Taiyou . The shot echoed inside the wagon, and the pa.s.sed out Juurokuya jolted up in a leap .
While thinking Leticia had some guts to shoot so quick, the bullet fell from Taiyou’s forehead and plopped, rolling in his hand .
「And that’s pretty much it . 」
「It’s breakin’ the laws of physics . 」
「It’s a lot easier to understand by seeing it . 」
「And that’s pretty much it . 」
「It’s breakin’ the laws of physics . 」
「It’s a lot easier to understand by seeing it . 」
「Everythin’s like that, and only you have that power?」
「Yeah . 」
「I see . 」
Leticia nodded, and they began to sort out their affairs .
「There’s one hostage, soldiers everywhere, an unspecified but unusable human weapon . That’s everythin’ we got . 」
「A human weapon, huh, well maybe that’s a good thing . 」
「It’s bad we lost our joker card . 」
「Yeah . 」
We didn’t exactly lose it, Taiyou thought .
The current problem was that Hera was separated from them and now there was no ability to control .
Currently it was the same as if they lost something .
「We should find out how much value the hostage is . 」
「No problem there . 」
「What?」
What does that mean? Taiyou thought as he looked at Leticia .
「Your highness . 」
「I know . 」
Leticia had a short conversation with her soldier .
Taiyou was surprised, almost as if Shirokiyami had done it, as he watched the girls .
Outside the window he could see their figures .
There were those he had seen before, and those he hadn’t . Young and old as well .
But there was one thing that connected them all .
All of them were women .
They were all there because of Saegusa Tsuk.u.mo .
「That’s good . 」
Leticia smiled .
「We only send them hostages they want so they’ll send us the best they have . 」
Taiyou smiled in relief .
