Azalee - Prince of Salusha - Sun End

Chapter 5 - A Hunch

The bustling evening party was filled with a somewhat restless atmosphere. Since Azalee-san got hungry, I went to get some fruit for him. 

MC: Azalee-san, here. 

As he was sitting down, I handed him a plate with some fruit on it. Obviously, Kalim-san was there to provide soft cushions for Azalee-san. 

Azalee: Sorry about that. 

After saying that, Azalee-san wouldn't accept the plate at all. 

MC: ...? Um... 

When I tilted my head to the side, Kalim-san whispered in my ear. 

Kalim: Azalee-sama won't eat fruit with the skin on them. 

MC: Eh. 

(So, he wants them peeled...) 

When the sweet scent of the peach was emitted as I peeled it, I handed them to Azalee-san. 

Azalee: ? 

Azalee-san still wouldn't accept them as he looked at me. 

Kalim: Azalee-sama doesn't like getting his hands sticky. 

(Does he want me to feed them to him...? Ah, but if I get a fork...) 

I got up from the cushions. Then, Azalee-san softly grabbed my hand and ate the fruit. 

MC: ...!

Azalee: ...It's sweet. It's good. Also, I can't tell if it's because that my throat was dry, but... It feels more special than usual. It's rejuvenating. 

Azalee-san happily smiled for real. The moment I saw that smile, my wrist that he was holding was starting to become gradually warm... 

Last Chapter - Romance

When a refreshing nightly breeze was blowing from somewhere... As he was holding my hand that was still holding the sweet fruit, my wrist became wet from sweat.

Person in Charge: Ladies and gentlemen, please gather in front of the stage. Our sponsor will be holding the presentation ceremony of the tiara. 

Azalee: Oh, finally! 

Azalee-san became excited and lets go of my hand while getting up. 

Azalee: Let's go, MC!

Along with Azalee-san, who's eyes are shining happily, we headed to the front of the stage. 

......

Sponsor: Everyone, thank you very much for gathering here tonight. 

When the sponsor moved to the top of the stage, the beautiful tiara was displayed beside him. 

(Pretty...) 

I became captivated by the tiara that was sparkling magically. Then...

Azalee: That tiara would look really good on you. 

On top of the stage, the beautiful butterfly shaped tiara shined. That dreamlike sparkle made me narrow my eyes. 

(I haven't seen something so beautiful before. Just looking at it makes me feel very happy...) 

Sponsor: ...Now then, I'll be announcing the name of the person, who'll be given the tiara. This tiara will be... I want to present it to the owner that runs the bread shop in town, Selena-san!

Azalee: That can't be!

Selena: Eh!? 

Azalee-san and a single woman both raised their voices at the same time. When I looked towards that voice, there was the couple that were being treated poorly earlier. 

(So, that person was Selena-san.) 

When I remembered her gentle eyes, I became happy somehow. 

Azalee: ...

Pushing through the surrounding crowd, Selena-san headed towards the stage. Then, at that moment... 

Azalee: This is really a mistake. 

MC: ...? Azalee-san? 

Azalee: It's true that woman possesses wonderful hands and is modest. I have no complaints about that. But... That would've been the circumstances if you weren't here today. That tiara is more suitable for you. Which is why I'm going to get it back!

MC: Eh!? 

Azalee: Don't worry. I'll be back soon. 

Azalee-san headed towards the stage. When I grabbed the hem of his coat in a panic... 

MC: P-Please wait. Coming to this party today was enough to make me happy... Also, I'm really glad that Selena-san was chosen...! 

When I said that, Azalee-san looked at me. Then, after a short while, he looked straight at me... 

Azalee: ...I knew it. 

MC: Eh? 

Azalee: You really are the best flower. 

MC: ... 

Azalee-san kneeled in front of me and softly placed a kiss on the top of my hand. 

Azalee: You have a sweet scent... Above all that, a beautiful flower is blooming within your heart. 

After he said that, he silently looked down. 

MC: Azalee-san...? 

Azalee: ...Next time, I'll give you a beautiful tiara. Because I really do see you as the best flower. 

Azalee-san kissed my hand again. Seeing him do that made him look like a prince that I've seen in a picture book before...

(Azalee-san...) 

As my heart was going fast, I touched his cheek at that moment... 

Azalee: ...Hm? Not just your scent, but you truly are sweet. 

Azalee-san licked my hand that he kissed just now. 

Azalee: Ah, I see. It's because you peeled the fruit for me earlier... 

After saying that, he happily smiled. As I wasn't going anywhere, he gently held my fingers. All the sounds became distant...
