Chrono - Prince of Wondermare - Moon End

Chapter 5 - Cheshire Cat-san Has the Clock?

The room turned orange as the sunlight was shining in. 

Chrono: Hm? This is... 

When Chrono-san picked up the piece of paper that was on the chair... 

Chrono: Eh, what!? 

MC: What's wrong?

When Chrono-san suddenly shouted, I looked at what was in his hand and saw some kind of written note. 

MC: Uhh... I'm borrowing the clock... Cheshire Cat.

(Cheshire Cat... That was a character in the Alice story.) 

MC: Chrono-san, do you know Cheshire Cat-san? 

Chrono: He's an acquaintance of mine, he has always been interested in seeing the clock many times, don't tell me he...

Getting a bad feeling, Chrono-san made a troubled look. 

Chrono: I can't let this go! I have to hurry and get the clock back before he does something strange!

The moment he said that... Chrono-san took out a fragment of chalk from his chest pocket and began to draw a circle on the ground. 

Chrono: The Chrono Plum household are the guards of time. We can pass through time and space and go to any area in Wondermare.

In the circle that Chrono-san drew, a dark hole suddenly opened in the ground. 

Chrono: Although... Without the clock, I don't have the power to control it. Furthermore, since I've been a careless person from the start... I don't know where we'll end up... So, I want you to wait here. 

Just as Chrono-san made a troubled smile... 

MC: Ah, wait... 

He jumped into the hole right before my eyes. As I felt like doubting my own eyes from what just happened, I was in a daze for a bit...

-Flashback-

Chrono: The power that the clock holds is even bigger than I thought. If it ends up in someone else's hands and misuses it's power, something really bad will happen!

-Flashback-

(I want to help Chrono-san.) 

When I tightly clenched my hand, I readied myself and jumped into the hole... 

Last Chapter - I'm So, So Happy!

When I jumped into the dark hole, it felt like being in a bottomless empty space beyond that. With no ground nor wall within the area, I was only falling headfirst. 

MC: !? 

Although... Something unexpected crashed my fall and when I opened my eyes...

Chrono: This is the second time that I caught you. 

I was being held in Chrono-san's arms as he giggled with a smile in front of me. 

MC: C-Chrono-san!? 

Chrono: I can see that you followed me. I'm sorry for jumping in on my own. 

As he held me to his chest, my cheeks became warm. 

Chrono: Still, this is troubling. This place is... Since buildings are being created, it seems like we're in the town of March Blow*...

T/N: Marchia's domain

When I looked around, there was a tree growing in the small room. Near a small door, where a small animal came out from, there was a monopod table. 

Chrono: Oh, there are two small bottles on the table... "DRINK ME"? 

(Just like in the Alice fairytale...) 

MC: Ah. Don't, if you drink that... 

Before I could stop him, Chrono-san immediately drank the contents of the small bottle. Then, his huge body suddenly became small...

Chrono: I did it! MC-san, we can leave the room like this!

After Chrono-san cheerfully bounced on the ground, he opened the door and left. 

MC: ...Geez. 

Once I've made up my mind, I drank the contents of the other bottle and followed after him. 

Then... 

MC: !? 

It was dark outside the door... Although, instead of falling, my feet felt the light sensation of the ground. 

MC: Uh, this is... Some kind of garden? 

Chrono: Ah! There's a heart emblem on the steeple, in other words, this is Hearts-kun's castle... 

After he said that, we heard the footsteps of many armored guards... 

(C-Cards?)

Before we knew it, the guards that had card symbols engraved on their armor have arrived... 

Guard: We found the girl! There's no mistaking it, that's Alice, seize her immediately!

They shouted that when they saw me. 

MC: !? 

Chrono: O-O-O-O-Oh, no! Run!!

MC: O-Okay! 

Without reasoning, Chrono-san pulled my hand and ran from there. 

(Just what is going on...? I feel like I'm in the real Alice fairytale...) 

Chrono: This is Hatter-san's shop! This is Forest* woods!! This is March Blow again!!!

T/N: Capita's domain

After we somehow got away from the guards, we got lost and went astray in each different world repeatedly. While we were unable to find Cheshire Cat-san, we were moving from place to place and wandered everywhere and then... 

Chrono: ...This is Sleep Valley*, but it looks like Cheshire Cat isn't here. 

T/N: Dormouse's domain

MC: How troubling...

When we didn't have any success in info gathering, our shoulders dropped. At that moment... 

Sleep Valley Resident: Oh, those white ears, you're Cheshire Cat-s acquaintance, he left me a message for you. 

Chrono: ...! Really!? 

The resident told us, "the clock that I borrowed is in the hands of an acquaintance in Chrono Plum". We immediately returned to the world by jumping into a hole that was drawn with the same chalk from the start. 

The moment we finally returned to the town of Chrono Plum, the sun was going down again. According to the given message, we went to where Cheshire Cat-san and Chrono-san's mutual acquaintance is... 

Acquaintance: Prince Chrono, I've been waiting. I have the clock. Cheshire Cat-san saw that your clock was dirty and had a polisher clean it. 

Chrono: I-Is that so? 

Acquaintance: He did a pretty good job!

As the lop-eared man said that, he handed the clock to Chrono-san. 

Chrono: Ah... My precious clock...!

MC: You finally found it, Chrono-san. 

Chrono: Yes!!

Chrono-san held his treasured clock. With the clock back in his hands, he showed a relieved expression at that moment... 

MC: !? 

When his face approached mine, he rubbed the clock against his cheek. As his eyes were slightly shedding tears, his cheek that was happily touching the clock turned pink. 

Chrono: Thank goodness...! I'm so glad!! It's all thanks to searching together with you!

MC: Oh, no... It's because you didn't give up and kept on going. 

As Chrono-san's face was so close, his scent tickled my nose. It gave me a really warm and fluffy happy feeling...

MC: C-Chrono-san, you're a little too close. 

Feeling embarrassed, I ended up saying that... 

Chrono: That's because I'm really happy right now! I want to share this happiness with you. I'm so happy, I feel like I can jump to the moon right now!

We smiled at each other. As we looked at each other, the two of us became embarrassed. 

Chrono: But, wasn't it all troubling for you? 

MC: Not at all, it made me feel like I have become Alice, so I had a lot of fun. 

Chrono: Alice ended up disappearing, but a new Alice has been created. 

Chrono-san gave me a small wink. When we reached the goal of our small adventure, the beautiful sunset shined as we smiled at each other...
