Eins - Prince of Forrant - Moon End

Chapter 5 - Not Enough Strength

Eins: Yaaaaah!!

When a rough sound was heard as metal was being struck... Cheers broke out. 

Eins: ......

While controlling his trembling hand, Eins-san looked down at his sword that got knocked out by his opponent. 

Eins: I lost... I... 

(Eins-san...) 

My heart tightened from looking at him standing still dejectedly from behind. 

(Eins-san, it's okay... You're still in the match... You can do it...!!)

I prayed for his victory with all my heart. 

......

While the results were currently bad, it was almost time for the final match. 

Eins' Friend: Eins, you okay? 

Eins: Y-Yeah...

Eins' Friend: This isn't like you. What happened to your usual energy? 

Eins: ...

Eins' Friend: At least show it to her until the end. Your cool side. 

Eins frowned when looked at MC in the audience. 

Eins: I know... There's something that I want to say and show... to her... 

Then, the announcement for the match starting was heard. Eins strongly gripped the sword's handle. 

Last Chapter - No Matter Who You Are

When the final match started, Eins-san got into position. 

MC: Eins-san! You can do it!

Eins: MC!

When my voice reached him...

Eins: How am I supposed to show it here! My true strength that I wanted to show off!

While shouting that, Eins-san raised his arms. 

......

After the match ended, stars were twinkling in the sky by the time we returned to the castle. 

(I wonder if Eins-san is okay...) 

Just as we returned to the castle, Eins-san went to his room without saying a word. 

When I arrived in front of his room, I gently knocked. 

MC: Eins-san...

Eins: Don't come in. I'm too ashamed to see you. 

MC: That's not true. You were doing your best, right? 

Eins: ...

When Eins-san quietly opened the door, he showed his face. 

MC: Can I come in? 

Eins: Sure... 

When I entered the room, Eins-san's shoulders dropped and he sat on the sofa. 

Eins: ...I couldn't show you how cool I am in the end. Despite that you were cheering for me. 

MC: Eins-san... 

As Eins-san hung his head down, I sat down next to him and looked at his face. 

MC: You were cool. When you were doing your best with all you've got. I like people like that. 

Eins: ...Like? You like me! But, your like is different! Your like means as friends, right? My like is much bigger... and different... In other words, it's love!

Eins-san energetically got up from the sofa and looked at me. 

MC: L-Love...? 

Eins: I'm serious about loving you. 

His serious gaze pierced through me. 

Eins: That's why I wanted to show you my cool side, but I couldn't...!

(Eins-san feels that way towards me...? T-Then...) 

-Flashback-

MC: It's almost time. 

Eins: That's right, pretty soon!

MC: It's nice that you'll be able to show the results of your training!

Eins: That's right! It'd be nice if I could do that!

MC: ...Do your best aiming for victory. 

Eins: That's right! I'll do my best!

-Flashback-

MC: C-Could it be that it was my fault that you were so nervous...? 

Eins: N-No! That's not it at all!

Eins-san grabbed my shoulders in a panic. His earring slightly shook. 

Eins: It wasn't your fault. I was just weak...

(Eins-san...) 

As I became overwhelmed with warm feelings, he looked down as he was turning red in embarrassment. 

(...Me too, there was something that I was unable to show to Eins-san. While he wanted to win, I wanted to show him a smile... I...) 

I searched for the words to describe the feelings within me. 

MC: ...Me too. 

Eins: Eh? 

MC: Me too... My like is the same as yours. It was... l-love...? 

Eins: MC...R-R-Really!? 

MC: Yes... 

Eins: For... For someone like me!? 

MC: Yes. 

When I answered clearly, Eins-san smiled happily and...

MC: ...!!

He strongly hugged me in his arms. 

MC: E-Eins-san... 

Eins-san looked at me with his face all red. As those eyes were gradually getting closer... 

MC: ......

Eins: ......

(H-Huh...?) 

When I quietly opened my eyes, there was a stern look in Eins-san's eyes as our lips were just about to touch. 

Eins: I-I can't! I'm so uncool no matter how you look at it!!

MC: E-Eins-san? 

Eins: The truth is, I was going to confess to you while looking all cool! That's what I'm trying to do now! Confessing like this after saying some complaints!? I'm completely fed up with my own stupidity!

While shaking his head, Eins-san lets go of me. 

MC: Eins-san... 

Before I knew it, I held his hand. 

MC: That's not true... You're cool, no matter what kind of person you are. 

Eins: MC... 

Eins-san pulled me towards him by the waist again. 

Eins: ...I'm cool no matter what I am? 

MC: Eh...

He looked down at me with a soft look in his eyes. 

MC: Eins-san...

Eins: Right now, I'm sure that I'm the most uncool guy in the world! I lost the match, I ended up confessing and I'm being consoled by the girl I love! Are you really okay with someone like me!? 

MC: ...Yes. 

When I answered with a smile... His soft lips nervously touched mine. 

Eins: I love you... MC!

MC: Eins-san... Mm.

As he held my shoulder tightly, the kiss became intense next. When I touched Eins-san's arms... I couldn't help, but want to smile with this clumsy and kind person...
