Colorer - Prince of Choco Berry - Sun End

Chapter 7 - The Reason for Being Unable to Meet

That time in the berry field was really fun, but... 

-Flashback-

MC: Um, Colorer-san... 

Colorer: G-Goodnight.

-Flashback-

Ever since we've returned, Colorer-san has been acting strange. 

(Today, it'd be nice if Colorer-san would go back to how he was during our time in the berry fields...) 

The next day, I tried visiting Colorer-san's room with that thought, but... 

Colorer: I'm sorry. It's just that... Right now, I'm busy thinking of a new recipe. So... Sorry. 

Without going into his room, he turned me down. 

(It can't be helped since he's thinking of a recipe... I guess.) 

Feeling somewhat lonely, I aimlessly went to the courtyard. 

Then... 

Butler: MC-sama. Are you taking a walk? 

I just happen to encounter the butler that serves Colorer-san by coincidence. 

MC: Yes. Since Colorer-san is busy... 

Butler: Oh, is that so? 

MC: Yes, he seems to be thinking of a new recipe. 

Butler: A new recipe... He seems to be acting a bit more hasty than usual. 

MC: Eh...? 

The butler made a somewhat troubled wry smile. 

(What does he mean...?) 

Butler: MC-sama... Won't you hear out this one request of mine? 

While I thought that it was strange, the butler continued speaking gently... 

Chapter 8 - Bringing Him Tea

What the butler requested me to do was... 

-Flashback-

Butler: The truth is, Colorer-san's favorite tea leaves have been delivered just now. Since it's a rare chance, how about you try brewing the tea here? MC-sama, won't you bring it to Colorer-sama? 

-Flashback-

(Even though he said that he's busy, he might rest for a bit if I brew him some tea.) 

I quickly went to deliver the tea to Colorer-san. 

When I went to the kitchen where Colorer-san was creating a new recipe... 

Colorer: Ah... MC... -san... 

The moment he saw me, Colorer-san's face made a complicated expression. 

(Looks like... I really am being a bother to him.) 

As soon as I felt regretful, I felt pain in my heart. 

MC: I'm sorry, I must be bothering you...

Colorer: No, that's not true. You're not being a bother. Something like that is not...

MC: Colorer-san...? 

Seeing Colorer-san being somewhat troubled made me very uneasy. 

MC: Um, you know what, I... 

Colorer: No, you're really not being a bother. 

Colorer-san interrupted my words when he spoke faster than usual. 

Colorer: Ah... 

After that, his beautiful face became a little strained as he smiled troubledly. 

Colorer: Really... What is it? 

MC: Thank you... But, since I've must've been taking up most of your time these past few days... Even though you were so busy, I'm really sorry. 

Colorer: That's not...! Um, uh... I give up. 

MC: ...?

When Colorer-san smiled, his gaze wandered around. While thinking of something, Colorer-san placed his hand on his mouth. THen, he touched his earlobe as he blinked with a worried look on his face. 

Colorer: I didn't mean to have given you the wrong idea. 

Colorer-san narrowed his eyes somewhat sadly. For some reason... That made my heartbeat go fast. 

Colorer: Um... Do you think I can get your opinion on something? 

MC: Opinion... For a new berry and chocolate dessert? 

Colorer: Yes. Come here. Won't you give me the tea that you brought over? 

While slowly tilting his head to the side, Colorer-san invited me in sweetly. Then, the pain that I felt earlier in my heart suddenly subsided...

Chapter 9 - Sampling Food Together

As there was a bittersweet scent drifting in the kitchen, Colorer-san drank the tea that I brewed... 

Colorer: ...It's good. 

After saying that with very little words, Colorer-san looked at me reservedly... 

Colorer: Uh... Then, do you mind trying these? 

He presented 3 pieces of pink-colored chocolates to me. 

Colorer: I tried all kinds of experiments by mixing in different among of berries into the chocolate... So, I couldn't tell which one you would like the most.

Colorer-san furrowed his brown troubledly as he smiled. The lightly vague soft smile made my heart noisy again. 

MC: If you're all right with me... Then, I'll try them. 

Colorer: Yes, go right ahead. 

I tried tasting the 3 chocolates that were laid across. 

(They're all really delicious. But, if I had to choose which one I liked the most out of all of them.) 

Colorer-san waited for my answer without blinking. 

Colorer: ...So? 

MC: They were all delicious... But, if I must choose, it'll be this one. 

I pointed at the one chocolate that I thought tasted good among the three. Then... 

Colorer: Wow, really? 

Colorer-san smiled broadly like a flower that was blooming. 

Colorer: I think that one tasted the best too. 

As Colorer-san was relieved wholeheartedly, he brought that chocolate to his mouth and took a bite out of it...

Last Chapter - Cheeks Turning Red

As a result of sampling the three chocolates, Colorer-san and I ended up having the same opinion. When the smile that Colorer-san had showed the first time we've met has returned to his face, I couldn't help, but be happy. 

Colorer: You know. My opinions never matched with my friends that I'm always making chocolate with... But, aside from my own tastes... I can trust your tastes as well! Thank yo! MC-san...!

MC: ...!

While deeply influenced, Colorer-san held both of my hands tightly. He swung both of my hands up and down roughly. 

MC: Wah... 

(Colorer-san looks really happy, but...) 

I felt myself shaking from him holding my hands as he was being deeply emotional... 

Colorer: Ah...!

Suddenly, when Colorer-san realized that he was holding my hands, his face turned red and he lets go of them in a panic. 

(Ah...!!)

Colorer: Eh...? 

Before I knew it, I was the one who was holding Colorer-san's hands tightly. 

(I... I didn't realize it. But... I don't want him to avoid me again.)

When I thought of that, I gripped his hands by reflex. As Colorer-san had a surprised look on his face, he looked straight at me... Then, he turned away as his face turned red instantly. 

MC: Um, I... It felt like you were avoiding me, Colorer-san... Did I do something? 

Once I readied myself and asked that, Colorer-san's body twitched. Although, he smiled with a troubled look on his face soon after...

Colorer: I give up... 

MC: Eh...? 

Colorer: I'm sorry. I'll explain myself properly. 

When he looked at me honestly with his face all red... I slowly let go of his hands... 

......

When Colorer-san said that he wanted to change the location a little, we went to town. Colorer-san was silent with a nervous look on his face for a while, but... 

Colorer: Um...? 

After taking a deep breath, Colorer-san started talking determinedly. 

Colorer: I really enjoyed spending time with you since we've first met and I loved it... Even though I'm carefree, you didn't mind and hung out with me this whole time... I thought it'd be fun if those kinds of days continued forever... 

When the times I've spent with Colorer-san became irreplaceable, they were conveyed to me thoroughly one at a time. Then... 

Colorer: Since that day I've held you when a car suddenly came along... All of a sudden... I had bittersweet feelings that made me feel like I was eating berries. Your delicate shoulders... and realizing how nice your scent was... My heart felt pain at that moment a-and I was seeing you as a girl... 

After hearing Colorer-san's words, my cheeks became burning hot. As I didn't know what to do to calm my rapid heartbeat, it continued to pound fast.

Colorer: But, as soon as I became aware of that, I was turning red. I thought that if I turn red, you might find out that I love you... 

MC: ...!

The word, "love", that just flew out made my shoulders twitch in surprise. 

(What do I do? I'm sure that my face is red too...) 

Then, when Colorer-san looked at me softly... 

Colorer: Fufu... Your face is quite red too. 

MC: ... 

When he sweetly whispered that, I turned my back on Colorer-san without thinking. 

MC: ...I can't... win against you, Colorer-san... 

Colorer: Eh, but... I'm the one who's no match for you. 

After saying that, Colorer-san chuckled with a smile and softly placed his lips against my ear... 

Within the distance where we could have a hushed conversation, I felt my heart pounding secretly... 

Colorer: I love you. 

MC: ...!

When my heartbeat increased from him just saying that, my face became so hot that it felt like it was about to burst into flames. 

Colorer: Fufu... I can't see it, but I'm sure that your face is turning red again. 

MC: ... 

Colorer: You know, MC-san... I'm sorry for acting so bluntly. Won't you... come over here again? 

As Colorer-san was right beside me, I was unable to look at him... 

MC: Yes, of course... 

With my back facing him, I lightly nodded once. 

Colorer: That's good... Um, actually... I would like to invite you over by the time the yellow raspberries have ripen, but... But, I... I feel that I can't wait for that long. So, won't you... come over sooner? 

Like during the previous sweet, hushed conversation, I nodded once again and... 

Colorer: MC-san... Won't you look this way? 

Colorer-san slowly got in front of me. 

MC: Colorer-san... 

In front of me, there was Colorer-san's bashful kind looking face with the sunlight shining brightly on it... 

Colorer: I love you... 

As both of our cheeks couldn't become any redder, we looked at each other while smiling...
