Dayang - Prince of Medicina - Moon End

Chapter 5 - A Disappointing Escape

Since they thought that Dayang-kun stole the money and medicine, I was taken in as well. 

-Flashback-

Dayang: What's with you guys!? I don't know anything!

---

Dayang: Let go! Let go of MC-----!!!

-Flashback-

Dayang-kun's sorrowful shouts remained in my ears. When I turned towards him, he bit his lip in frustration. 

Dayang: Dammit! Why me? You got involved as well, even though there was no need to!

MC: ...

I stared at him as he was in a furious rage... 

Dayang: What? You look like you want to confess to something.

MC: That's not it... 

Dayang: I'm not completely wrong! The world is all about money!!

MC: Dayang-kun...!

Dayang: I've been living alone because of money!!

MC: Alone... 

When I heard that from Dayang-kun himself, I questioned it. 

Dayang: ...It's a boring story. When I was little, my parents and some peddlers got into a war. I was the only survivor. 

(That sort of thing happening...) 

Dayang: There's no need to be sad about it. Because of the guild remaining, I was saved by money. 

After saying that, Dayang-kun bounced back up. 

Dayang: Don't underestimate me...!

Dayang-kun began to tinker with the lock. What I saw in his hand was a spoon handle and he was using it on the keyhole. 

MC: Eh? Dayang-kun, don't tell me... 

Dayang: Yeah, we're going to get out with this. 

MC: Can you do something like that? 

Dayang: Of course, I can unlock it. It was something that I had to learn when I was living alone. 

As I was surprised, I watched him and... 

Dayang: It's open...! 

MC: No way...!

Although, the next moment... 

Guildmembers: Dayang...!

The moment we got out of the small room, the men who locked us in there were at the entrance.

Dayang: Wha...! You guys, you already found out...!! I won't let you capture me! I'll make you see the curse of money!!

Just as Dayang-kun readied himself... 

Guildmembers: We're very sorry!

Dayang: Huh...? 

The guildmembers lowered their heads to us the next moment...

Guild Member 2: We're really sorry!!

The moment we opened the lock and got out of the place that we were imprisoned in... The men in front of us lowered their heads.

Dayang: ...What do you mean? 

Guild Member 3: The culprit came forward earlier... There has been an outbreak of an epidemic in his native kingdom and he needed to bring in a huge amount of medicine no matter what. 

MC: For something like that... 

When I looked at Dayang-kun, he was still in position as he tightly clenched his fist. After a pause, he made a complicated look and spoke. 

Dayang: ...The curse of money is scary. 

Guild Member 2: We're sorry... 

Dayang: So? Do we have enough medicine? 

Guild Member 4: Y-Yes! If he had gotten a bit more, we wouldn't have had enough. 

(Dayang-kun...) 

-Flashback-

Dayang: Listen. The world is all about money. It's all about money, MONEY! I've been told that human love is the most important thing, but that doesn't do it for me. 

-Flashback-

(Even though he said that, he's a really nice person...)

I looked at the side of Dayang-kun's serious face. Then, when our eyes met, he made a troubled smile. 

Dayang: Guess it can't be helped. 

With a sigh, Dayang-kun gave the guildmembers a serious look. 

Dayang: Anyway, right now, this guild is going to do what it can. You guys and everyone else too, we're going to help them out. Got it? 

As Dayang-kun looked around at the men, he strongly gave that command. 

Guild Member 2: B-But, Dayang! It'll be difficult to go to another kingdom! 

Dayang: I'll gather the materials that we don't have. 

When he suddenly said that... I noticed that Dayang-kun's eyes were shining. 

Dayang: I'll be doing that from here on with her. 

MC: Eh...? 

Dayang-kun pointed at me with a grin. His toothy grin shined innocently. 

Dayang: She is the Traumerei Princess after all. With an outstanding impact of propaganda, it'll bring in a whole lot of materials and money!

(The reason behind his innocent smile just now... was this?) 

MC: W-Wait, I don't know anything about peddling... 

When I argued back in a panic... 

Dayang: Don't worry about it! 

He placed his hand on top of my head. 

Dayang: Let's work hard, partner!!

Guildmembers: You have our thanks!! It's a pleasure to have you!!

I couldn't say anything towards Dayang-kun's smile and the guildmembers' anticipation... 

......

A few days later since then... 

Dayang: Phew! Another hardworking day!

After a whole day of peddling, we finally took a break when it became night. 

(In the end, it feels like I've been manipulated by Dayang-kun...) 

When we went to the native kingdom, we gathered the materials for the medicine and went to the town and royal family to sell it. 

Dayang: You're tired, right? Good work!

Dayang-kun grinned as he lightly patted my back. 

MC: Yeah... Good work. 

Dayang: Man, your sociable manners are a life saver... If it were just me, I would've said a lot of shady stuff. 

Dayang-kun lightly smiled. 

MC: I'm glad that I was able to live up to that role. 

Dayang: You did, you did. 

MC: Also, how much did we gather? 

Dayang: Hmm, let's see. We should have enough, but... I want a little bit more. 

MC: Dayang-kun!? 

Dayang: Haha, sorry, sorry. I know. 

With a strong working spirit, Dayang-kun furrowed his brow as he smiled. 

Dayang: I'll properly send what's necessary to the guild tomorrow. So, don't make that scary face. 

MC: Scary face... A-Achoo...!

Since the sun had already gone down, it became cold. Then... 

I felt something warm around my body. When I looked up, I was surprised by how close Dayang-kun's face was. 

(Ah...) 

He gently wrapped his cloak around my body. As his cheeks were red like a bright bonfire, my heartbeat became fast. 

Dayang: It has become cold. 

I sniffed the cloak that had Dayang-kun's scent drifting from it. 

(This scent... It's medicine...)

MC: Y-Yeah... Thank you. 

Dayang: It'll be troubling if you caught a cold. 

MC: Dayang-kun...

Dayang: I have to take care of the Traumerei Princess as our propaganda symbol. 

MC: Again with that sort of thing...!

When I said that, Dayang-kun made an overly innocent smile. 

Dayang: It's because we gained a lot of earnings today. Yeah! It's all thanks to you. So, from now on, won't you travel with me? 

MC: Eh...? 

Dayang: With you around, we'll get tons of money!

(Tons of money...) 

Dayang: You see, I love money. In other words, I love you too!

MC: ...!

He said that so naturally as he mixed money into those words. To think that Dayang-kun would... 

(I can't... hate him...) 

As I sighed, I looked at him as he was happily counting money. No matter what, I don't think I can go against that innocent face... 

When I thought about traveling with him from here on, I made a wry smile...
