Adam - Prince of Trugville - Sun End

Chapter 6 - Together with the Past

Kingdom of Music, Muse*... With music playing all over the streets, the beautiful melodies blended in with the scenery

*Luke's kingdom

-Flashback-

Adam: I want to know about my past.

-Flashback-

Wanting to grant his wish, I sent a letter to two certain princes to talk about it. 

Adam: These people called Medi and Luke, they're waiting at the castle, right? 

MC: Yes. They're looking forward to seeing you, Adam. The two of them met you while you were in a different place from me. They know some things that I don't know. 

Adam: That helps. If they know a lot about myself, then I'm sure that they were close to the me before I lost my memories. I wonder how the past me would've greeted them if he reunited with them. 

Adam unknowingly became strongly aware of his past self. 

MC: You're not pushing yourself to remember the past...?

Adam: That's... 

MC: You're fine the way you are now. Your gentle smile, voice and way of speaking haven't changed. You're still Adam. 

Adam: MC...

His curved shoulders softly loosened up. 

Adam: Your existence is a huge help to me. I'm sure that the past me had you in his thoughts. If I could get more memories and feelings... 

When Adam softly smiled, his gentle voice got carried away by the smooth wind...

Chapter 7 - The Feelings I Want to Convey

After reuniting with Medi-san and Luke-san, we visited a musical instrument store with Adam's hopes. Adam looked at the many beautiful instruments seriously. 

MC: You must be interested in instruments. 

Adam: Actually... For a long time now, I've been thinking about doing something for my brothers. 

Feeling a little embarrassed, he scratched his cheek with his finger. 

Adam: When I thought about what my past self would've done, I couldn't come up with a good answer... Thanks to your words, I thought that I should do something my current self would do. 

When he looked at me with a bright smile, I felt a ticklish feeling in my heart. 

MC: Then, did you decide on something? 

Adam: Yes. When I heard Luke's flute performance earlier, I was deeply moved. You could convey your feelings directly through a gentle melody. So, I thought that I should show my gratitude to everyone with some kind of performance. 

Adam's tone clearly showed his love towards his brothers.

(Despite what he said before we went traveling...) 

-Flashback-

Adam: Everyone… Even the word, “brother”, they all don’t ring a bell.

-Flashback-

Adam's changed feelings towards his brothers filled my heart with a gentle warmth. 

MC: I'm sure that everyone will be happy. 

Adam: You saying that is reassuring. I've decided to go with this instrument. It's the same as Luke's

As Adam said that excitedly, he picked up a flute from the shelf. Wanting to support him wholeheartedly, I spoke what was on my mind. 

MC: How about you do a small musical performance for your brothers? I'll help you with it. 

Adam: A musical performance... That's a nice idea. Let's keep it a secret from everyone, so that we can surprise them that day. 

Filled with energy, Adam's smile shined brightly. Then, when we ended our travels at Muse, we went back to our daily lives...

......

Then, on the day of the musical performance... When we looked at each of the corners of the hall from the stage, Adam and I made some preparations for the real thing. 

Adam: The flowers that you used for decorations are pretty. The atmosphere became completely gorgeous. 

After lining up 5 chairs, he narrowed his eyes towards the bright colorful flowers on the stage. 

MC: I picked them from the courtyard. I'm glad that you like them. 

Adam: It'll make everyone happy, including my performance after that...

Feeling uneasy, Adam's slim fingers turned pale from nervousness. 

MC: It'll be hard for you to perform if your fingers get cold. 

I tightly held both of his hands to warm them up. 

MC: I know that you were practicing a lot. When we were in Muse, you had Luke-san teach you... You've been practicing deligently for today. I'm sure that you can do it. Believe in yourself. 

Adam: MC... 

As I was transferring my body heat, warmth was gradually returning to Adam's hands. 

Adam: Yeah. Instead of using words, I'll put in a lot of "gratitude" into it. 

The uneasy wavering look that he was making disappeared from his dark eyes. The next moment... When his brothers entered and looked around the room, all 5 of them widened their eyes... 

Last Chapter - To a New Future

When his brothers that know nothing took their seats, they made odd expressions...

Adam: Everyone, thank you for coming here. 

When Adam stood in the center of the stage, he spoke as he was unable to hide his nervousness on his face. 

(You can do it, it'll be okay.) 

While watching him from behind his brothers, I conveyed my thoughts by looking at Adam. When our eyes met, Adam lightly nodded and softly smiled. 

Adam: Today with the help of MC, I've prepared a small musical performance. 

Brothers: A musical performance!? 

During the small commotion, Adam continued speaking. 

Adam: For everyone that has continued supporting me, I wanted to show my gratitude without the use of words. I wnated to return the many feelings that everyone has given me. 

From the words that Adam spoke, his brothers' bewilderment went away. 

Adam: To everyone that I love so much, I present this song to you. 

When Adam got into position with the flute, the next moment... The sounds that carried his feelings enveloped everyone in the room with warmth...

......

As Adam made a satisfied look, the refreshing wind blew on him. 

Adam: I'm so glad that it ended without any problems. 

MC: It was a really nice performance. Even I was emotionally moved. 

The beautiful melody that Adam played and his brothers' heart-warming applause were still remaining in my ears... 

-Flashback-

Yzak: To think that the day of Adam entertaining us has come...

Cyril: Uwah... Annoying Bro got moved too much... Well, I can see why though. 

Rufus: I thought that you were up to something lately, so this is what you were doing. 

Ivan: Thank you, Adam. It was a nice performance. Let us hear it again. 

Adam: Of course. Everyone, please take care of me from here on. 

Fllayg: ...Adam. You don't have to go through all the trouble into saying that. 

Adam: Eh...? 

Fllayg: Because we're family. 

-Flashback-

Adam and his brothers smiling at each other wholeheartedly... When I recalled that day, I became overwhelmed by happiness. 

Adam: I can feel that my heart has connected with my brothers. Now, I'm finally standing at the starting point. 

The moment I became charmed by his exceptional smile, my heart became affectionately noisy. 

MC: That's... It's because you worked so hard, Adam. 

Adam: No. I'm here now because you were with me. 

As Adam looked at me, his bright eyes narrowed the next moment... 

Adam: Before I lost my memories... And even when I lost them now, you continue to give me light. 

He held my hand with both of his dearly. 

MC: Adam... 

When the distance between us suddenly shrunk, my heartbeat started going fast. 

Adam: The truth is, the reason why I called you over from the start... was because I wrote a lot about you in the diary. 

MC: ! About me...? 

Adam: Before I knew it, I've wished to see you in my dreams more. The gentle and bright princess... You were my light in the darkness. 

Touched by his remaining feelings, my heart pounded heartrendingly. 

MC: I've always wondered about it too... I was thinking if you would appear in my dreams tonight, Adam. 

Adam: So, we were thinking the same thing. 

Underneath the sunlight that was gently shining through the trees, Adam and I looked at each other deeply. 

(Such beautiful eyes.)

As the light in his eyes shook from the wind blowing, they sparkled brightly.

Adam: My wish was to live happily with my family. To make that come true, everyone in the World of Dreams gave me life... I'm the only one that can make that wish come true... I will live to the fullest to make myself happy. 

From our connected hands, I could feel his warm body warmth spreading... 

MC: Adam, you've been in pain for so long... From now on, please be happy to your heart's content. 

When I held his hand tightly, we softly placed our foreheads against each other. 

Adam: I need you to become happy. I want you with me... For a long time now, I've been attracted to you. Also, you're the one I have feelings for the most. 

His straightforward gaze engraved a gentle feeling of love into my heart. 

MC: I want to be with you forever too, Adam. 

Adam: Thank you. From here on, our new future begins. 

When Adam held me in his chest, I heard his heart beating loudly... The beloved sound that was proof that he was alive sounded like a melody of "eternity" that won't be jeopardized again...
