T/N: One of the funniest stories in the game XD
Fujime - Prince of Shinonome - Main Story
Chapter 1- A Reunion Underneath a Tree
One day, as I suddenly felt cool from the breeze touching my cheek... I arrived at the Kingdom of Literature, Mysterium*, since I was invited to the award ceremony for the Charlotte Award.
T/N: Graham's kingdom
(Fujime-san... It's amazing that he has won the award.)
Fujime-san, who I have awakened from a slumber the other day, wasn't just a prince, but is also an author that writes romance novels.
(It was truly an amazing love story.)
On my way here... I read Fujime-san's book that is being awarded now, "The Romantic Sunlight Through the Trees". Since I wanted to personally congratulate him, I was looking forward to seeing Fujime-san.
Announcer: Until the awardee appears, let's all enjoy talking for a while now...
After the announcer said that many times now, there was a lot of commotion in the venue.
(I wonder if Fujime-san will appear soon. He may be an amazing person, but he might not be good with people a little...)
When I became worried about Fujime-san not showing himself at all, I went outside for a bit.
Within the refreshing atmosphere, I walked outside the venue for a bit. Then, I saw a familiar looking person underneath a tree.
(That's...)
MC: F-Fujime-san?
Fujime-san's shoulders twitched when he became startled.
Fujime: Good... It's just you.
MC: What do you mean?
When Fujime-san pulled me into the shade, he looked around as if he was worried about being noticed.
Fujime: ...The wind just feels so nice.
MC: ...Everyone is waiting for you.
As Fujime-san smiled, he turned his back on me.
Fujime: ...I can't.
MC: Eh?
Fujime: I really can't stand in a place like that.
After saying that over his shoulder, Fujime-san left quickly.
MC: F-Fujime-san...!
I quickly went after him from behind...
Chapter 2 - Gathering Material
While stepping on the soft grass, I followed Fujime-san...
MC: Fujime-san, what's wrong...?
When I somehow stood next to him, Fujime-san frowned troubledly.
Fujime: ...
MC: The award ceremony is going to start soon.
I gently pulled Fujime-san's sleeve as he wasn't saying anything.
Then, he stopped and spoke hesitantly a little.
Fujime: ...I don't have what it takes to accept the award.
MC: Eh?
Fujime: ...I can't write.
MC: You can't write?
Fujime: Yes. I can't come up with an idea... Even though I'm a romance novelist, I can't come up with a single sweet word. For me to win an award, I'm such a disgrace for it. Despite that I don't get distracted from writing a lot at times.
MC: Calling yourself a disgrace...
When Fujime-san said that in pain, I searched for the words to cheer him up.
MC: I read "The Romantic Sunlight Through the Trees", it was really moving. I can't think of any other book that's worthy for the award.
Fujime: That's because it's already been a year since I've written my last book. The me right now is different from back then. I lost my talent... No, it's probably not just my talent to begin with...
When Fujime-san smiled self-mockingly, he looked away from me.
MC: No way...!
(Why something like that...)
As my heart tightened from his sorrowful expression, I was about to speak up and then...
Fujime: ...Well, because of something like that, I'm going to decline the award ceremony.
After Fujime-san said that, he started to blow into a grass flute that he made with the grass that he picked. While watching him do that, I...
///Choices///
- Let's go back (☼)
MC: ...How about we go back?
As I looked at Fujime-san in the eye, he only patted my head, but it felt like I didn't reach his heart.
- Gently touch his shoulder (☽)
When I touched his shoulder, Fujime-san dropped the grass flute.
Fujime: ...You're so kind.
He looked at me as he said that.
///Choices///
MC: I don't think a talentless person would get troubled like this... I'm sure that you can write again. I want to read them.
Fujime: ...
When I repeated those desperate words, Fujime-san silently looked at me.
Fujime: I guess so, in that case, won't you collaborate with me, so that I can write?
MC: Eh? Sure, if there's anything I can do to help, I will!
Fujime: The truth is, I've never done anything romantic related. I'd be happy if I could collect some material about that.
MC: Eh!? But, this wonderful romantic story is...?
Fujime: I get ideas from hearing stories from people and love letters to historic figures. I know... It'll be interesting if I can get some material about the life of marriage.
He nodded to himself after saying that.
Fujime: You said that you would collaborate with me, right?
(I did, but...)
As I was unable to respond, Fujime-san looked into my eyes and smiled. The wind made his hair flutter...
Chapter 3 - A Newlywed Life?
Fujime: I know... It'll be interesting if I can get some material about the life of marriage. You said that you would collaborate with me, right?
When Fujime-san smiled at me...
Fujime: Then, MC-san, in that case.
Once he has made his decision, he placed his hands on my shoulders.
Fujime: Ah, even though we're going to be married, we'll be pretending of course. It's for the material gathering after all.
MC: Um, I don't understand...
Fujime: While feeling the peaceful life as a pretend married couple, I want to observe my own emotions in detail.
(Observe? Material gathering?)
Fujime: Now then, let's stay by buying a house.
Fujime-san grabbed my hand and started to walk fast.
MC: Um, what about the award ceremony...!?
While I was walking from behind with him pulling me, I turned towards the award ceremony.
Fujime: It's about time for everyone to give up.
With no concerns, Fujime-san headed towards the opposite direction.
Fujime: Now then, let's head over to the kingdom.
MC: Y-Your kingdom? We're going to cross over the Moon Road?
Fujime: Yes, despite it being called a kingdom, it's next to Mysterium, so don't worry about it. Since it's going to be a bit of a long trip... I'm going to call for a horse carriage.
As Fujime-san smiled, I became unable to say anything...
......
Then, we arrived at Fujime-san's kingdom, the Kingdom of Literature, Shinonome... When we entered the town, Fujime-san found a real estate shop.
Shopkeeper: Welcome. What kind of house are you looking for?
Fujime: MC-san, choose a house that you like.
MC: Eh!?
With a whole bunch of things happening so quickly, I didn't know what to do.
Fujime: I don't do anything else, but work at my desk. Well, that's because of my royal duties are piling up. Now then, choose a house that you like.
(Even if he tells me that...)
Shopkeeper: What a great husband! You must be happy, Ma'am.
MC: No, we're-
Fujime: We want to buy one and start living here today as soon as possible. Please look for a house that my wife would like.
Fujime-san said that mischievously as he smiled happily.
Fujime: Now then, choose.
I...
///Choices///
- A small house outside of town (☼)
MC: Then... A small house that's kind of further away from town.
When I said that, Fujime-san had a happy look in his eyes.
Fujime: There we go. Do you have a house like that?
- I can't choose (☽)
MC: Eh, I can't choose...!
When I said that troubledly, Fujime-san shrugged his shoulders.
Fujime: In that case, let's go with a house that's kind of suitable for newlyweds. As you can see, my wife is a moderately shy woman.
Fujime-san smiled at the shopkeeper.
///Choices///
Shopkeeper: Then, how about this property? The furniture has already been set up, so you can live in it immediately.
Fujime: What do you think? Do you like it?
Fujime-san looked at my face.
MC: Y-Yes... It's a nice house.
When I said that confusedly, Fujime-san nodded in satisfaction.
Fujime: Then, here's the payment. Please let us move in today.
Shopkeeper: Today? That's a bit sudden...
Fujime: I'm counting on you. Ah, that's right. It'll help if you can prepare food and daily necessities.
Fujime-san smiled at the shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper: ...Understood.
It seems like Fujime-san's aloof smile has the power to make people obey him.
Fujime: Now then, it's going to take some time for it to get ready. So, let's take our time to head over to our home.
As Fujime-san pulled my hand, he took me out of the shop...
......
Then, we arrived at a really small house that's a bit further away from town.
Fujime: It's tolerable. A suitable house for newlyweds.
When Fujime-san said that, he opened a window.
(Even though I was forced to come here...)
Fujime: Hey, look. There are birds flying.
Fujime-san smiled happily as he leaned against the window. As I looked at him, the questionable uneasiness somehow went away.
Fujime: To think that opening a window would be fun. This must be what the newlywed life is like.
Just as he turned towards me as he said that, he gasped.
Fujime: My apologies... Could it be that I got the wrong idea of the image of a married couple? It feels like I'm the only one that's having fun...
Fujime-san scratched his head as he became a bit embarrassed. As I found it cute seeing him act like that, I looked at him.
MC: ...I'm having fun too.
Fujime: Really? That's good.
Fujime-san smiled in relief.
(I wonder if Fujime-san is tired. Despite that it's his duty as a prince, he puts in a lot of effort as a highly popular author...)
I thought of that as I looked at him standing near the edge of the window.
(...It might make Fujime-san write again. Aside from that, if it's going to be this much fun... I'll give him my support.)
Once I've made up my mind, I took a deep breath.
MC: ...So, we've become a pretend married couple. Then, please wipe the table.
When I said that as I handed over a wet cloth, Fujime-san blinked.
MC: I'm going to make lunch. So, wipe the table and also...
When I checked the ingredients that were prepared, I thought about the menu.
MC: Can go you buy some eggs?
Fujime: MC-san...
MC: I'm not all that good at cooking, but I can make omurice.
After I said that, Fujime-san's eyes brightened up.
Fujime: Omurice? I've read about that in books. It's a dish that has tomato sauce and the flavor of ingredients inside the egg... Right?
With his hand on his chin, Fujime-san said that as if he was reading aloud from a science book.
///Choices///
- I'll make it tasty (☽)
MC: I'll make it tasty.
After I said that, Fujime-san nodded deeply.
Fujime: Of course, please do.
- You've never tried it? (☼)
MC: You've never tried it?
When I asked that, Fujime-san shook his head.
Fujime: I've always thought that it looked good.
///Choices///
Fujime: I'm looking forward to it. I'll go buy some eggs immediately.
After he said that in no spare moment, Fujime-san left. Once I was left behind, it somehow felt strange. When I placed the ingredients on the cutting board, I eagerly began to cook...
Chapter 4 - From the Fingers...
When the pretend married life with Fujime-san started...
Inside the small house, a nice scent was spreading around.
(I wonder if Fujime-san is back yet...)
To make the omurice, I just need to put the ingredients in the egg to complete it, so I waited for Fujime-san. Then...
Fujime: MC-san, is this enough?
When Fujime-san opened the door energetically, he came back with a lot of eggs in both hands.
MC: I-I can't use this much.
Fujime: I see... I didn't know what kind of eggs to use, so I went to various shops in town.
When I looked at the price stickers on them, all the eggs were the expensive ones.
(Just where did he go...)
Fujime: That's right, I need to go wipe the table.
After saying that, Fujime-san started to wipe the table clumsily.
(It's kind of cute...)
As I held myself back from smiling, I started to finish the omurice. Fujime-san was watching me as he was behaving well at the table.
MC: There, it's done.
When I placed it on a dish, Fujime-san's eyes brightened up.
///Choices///
- Ask if he washed his hands (☼)
MC: Fujime-san, did you wash your hands?
Fujime: Ah...
Fujime-san quickly got up from his seat and washed his hands.
- I hope it suits your tastes (☽)
MC: It's been a while since I've last cooked, so I don't have a lot of confidence... I hope it suits your tastes though.
Fujime: Even if it's been a while, you've made it well.
///Choices///
Once I sat down, Fujime-san smiled.
Fujime: Well then, my wife, thank you for the food.
After saying that, Fujime-san took a scoop with the spoon and the next moment, he stopped his movements.
MC: What's wrong?
Fujime: There's no heart...
MC: Eh?
Fujime: It was in something that I read. There was a heart drawn with tomato sauce on the omurice.
(Where did he read that...)
Overcome with amusement, I smiled.
Fujime: That's what I remembered reading.
After saying that, Fujime-san smiled at me.
MC: A heart, please wait for a moment.
When I said that with a smile, I began to draw a heart.
(Huh, this is pretty hard... I can't draw it well.)
As I was struggling, Fujime-san watched me with a smile.
(I did it... But.)
It didn't really look like it, but I managed to complete the indescribable pretty heart.
Fujime: ...How nice.
MC: Eh?
Fujime: I can feel the innocence of a new wife.
When he looked at me somewhat lovingly, I looked down.
(Despite that I was unable to draw a heart well somehow.)
MC: I'm sorry that it turned out so crooked...
I said that as I was sulking a little...
Fujime: Ah, don't sulk...
Fujime-san gently touched my cheek... When Fujime-san happily smiled as he was looking at me, my cheeks blushed.
MC: ...
Before I knew it, I averted Fujime-san's hand by turning my face away...
Fujime: ...?
Fujime-san curiously looked at his fingers that touched my cheek.
(Fujime-san...?)
Fujime: ...This feeling is...?
A refreshing breeze blew into the room from the window...
