Chapter 6 - Captured!
Camilo: It can't be... Earlier...
Within the tense atmosphere, I stood still.
Camilo: The moment I bumped into that boy earlier... I remember getting a strange feeling.
-Flashback-
Camilo: MC...! ......?
-Flashback-
MC: Camilo-san...
Camilo-san clenched his fist tightly in frustration.
Subordinate: A child... Now that you mention it, there were a few among the group of people that ran off in different directions.
The subordinate nodded in agreement.
Camilo: Go after them immediately! We can still catch them from here.
Subordinate: Understood.
The two of them ran off quickly. As I watched them from afar, I prayed that they will find the people that escaped.
(Please... Don't let anything happen to them.)
Then...
Camilo-san returned with the boy in custody.
Camilo: MC, there's no need to worry now.
MC: Okay.
(That's good...)
Feeling relieved, I realized my feelings towards Camilo-san again...
Chapter 7 - The Facts of the False Accusation
When the boy that got Camilo-san falsely accused was caught, an investigation was currently being processed. Today, Camilo-san visited my room to give me a report about that.
MC: So, that boy was...
Camilo: Yeah, he was the younger brother of the man that I seized before.
MC: So, that's why...
Camilo: He was aiming for me from the start.
After saying that, Camilo-san became silent and looked at the floor a little.
Camilo: ......
(Even though Camilo-san was only doing the right thing... It created a grudge.)
When I thought of that, my heart throbbed in pain.
Camilo: This won't do any good. At this rate, my actions will cause more bad things to happen.
I shook my head greatly when he made a wry smile as he laughed self-mockingly.
MC: ! That's not true...! Besides, you're doing your best to protect everyone. That's why...
After Camilo-san became surprised from me talking back at him, he made a calm expression.
Camilo: Why are you making such a teary face...
MC: Eh...
(Was I... making that kind of face?)
Camilo: Didn't you notice?
MC: I don't want you to feel down...
Feeling embarrassed from pointing that out, I placed both of my hands on my cheeks. I could feel the corner of my eyes becoming warm.
MC: I'm sorry. I overdid it...
When I murmured that, Camilo-san took a step closer to me. I looked straight into his eyes as he was looking down at me. Suddenly, I felt my body warmth increasing.
Camilo: Thank you. Aside from anyone else, having you say that makes me really happy.
MC: Camilo-san...
Camilo: To be honest, I'm worried about work...
(He really was holding himself back.)
Camilo: Yet... What you said has lifted a weight off my shoulders.
MC: ...
When he said that happily, my cheeks became warm.
Camilo: I'm glad that you came here. I feel like going back to work again. Now then, if you'll excuse me.
Camilo-san turned around and left the room. Along with a light lingering scent, a single white feather fell.
MC: Ah...
When I picked up the feather that was like a white magnolia petal, I gently held it to my chest. Even after he left just now, I could still feel his warmth...
Last Chapter - At the Cathedral
After a while since Camilo-san told me about the culprit... He invited me out and took me to a cathedral.
In the cathedral, it had a majestic atmosphere with a refined scent drifting.
MC: This place is pretty calming.
Camilo: When I was showing you around before, I was unable to take you inside. Today's special since I got permission.
MC: Eh...?
Camilo: For your sake... No. For my sake.
MC: ...?
Camilo: Before, your words saved me.
(The time when we were talking about a convict's brother being the culprit...)
Camilo: At that time, I lost confidence in my work completely.
MC: That's...
Just as I said that worriedly, Camilo-san slowly shook his head.
Camilo: It's okay. Right now, I have completed my duty.
MC: ...
When I sighed in relief, Camilo-san broke into a smile.
Camilo: You're making that face again.
MC: Eh, was I making a strange face?
Camilo: It was a serious worried look.
MC: That's... That's because I was serious.
Camilo: So am I.
MC: ...?
Camilo: I don't have a lot of experience in this sort of thing... So, I wasn't sure on how to convey my feelings...
As he was being clumsily honest... I understand what Camilo-san was telling me.
(By feelings...?)
Camilo: I talked to Micaela... His suggestion isn't like me. But... I thought about it and came up with this answer.
When he said that, there was a gentle scent.
What Camilo-san presented in front of me was a bouquet of flowers that were white like his wings...
Camilo: I heard that... It's best to give flowers to a woman.
I thought that it was the wind making the bouquet sway, but it was Camilo-san's hand trembling as he was holding it.
(He's feelings this nervous... But, he's trying hard for my sake.)
When I got a whiff of the flowers' sweet scent, I became deeply moved.
Camilo: Is it not to your liking?
MC: No, I'm really happy. I was wondering how I should thank you...
I gently accepted the bouquet and smiled.
Camilo: That smile is enough as thanks.
Seeing his bashful face made my heart throb.
Camilo: I was deciding on whether I should go with white or red.
MC: I'm glad that you went with white. It's the same color as your wings.
Camilo: Want to try touching them?
He slowly spreads out his wings towards me. As they were overwhelmingly beautiful, Camilo-san trembled when I touched the edge of them.
MC: They're soft.
Surrounded by the pure white flowers and wings, I softly smiled.
Camilo: You're the one who's pretty soft. That's what I thought when I touched you while protecting you. To think that women were that soft...
MC: Do you want to touch me again?
I blushed when I said that so boldly.
Camilo: ...If you don't mind.
After I nodded, Camilo-san closed the distance between us.
Camilo: These flowers really do suit you. No, you're just like the flowers... You smell nice... and you're soft like a flower petal.
When Camilo-san's fingers touched my hair, they slid down to my shoulder and gently stroked my arm.
Camilo: I want to make you mine...
The moment he whispered that to me, the atmosphere around us began to feel like a different kind of sweet nectar from a flower...
