Gerald - Prince of Romandia - Sun End

Chapter 7 - Gerry's Determination

-Flashback-

Gerald: The truth is, I'm really not that athletic... At a life-threatening level. 

-Flashback-

When Gerry told me something shocking, I froze for a while. 

(Huh? But, just now...) 

I thought back to Gerry's words that's been on my mind once more. 

-Flashback-

Gerald: No, even in the usual romance stuff, I was told that my running form was bad before... At that time, I had to learn how to run and dance from a professional runner... It ended without any problems though...

-Flashback-

MC: Um... I understand that you're not that athletic, but are you okay with dancing? 

Gerald: Yes, I have good examples... I've been copying them, so I'm good. 

MC: Then, you should try doing some proper training... After all, you can't dance well unless you have a strong will. 

Gerald: Really!? 

Gerry's face instantly brightened up. 

Gerald: I see, if I had a professional trainer... I can try challenging myself!

Then, since that day, Gerry started a new special training... 

Chapter 8 - To Become an Action Star!

By the time a few days have passed since Gerry has begun a full-blown training to overcome the fact that he's unathletic... Today, I visited the castle to check on him. 

In the castle hall, Gerry was working hard in training with a special trainer present. Since it was hard training, there were marks of sweat that had hit the floor. 

(He's working hard...) 

While watching him train like crazy, I carelessly spoke without thinking...

Gerald: MC!

When Gerry noticed me, he happily ran up to me. 

Gerald: I'm so happy, you came!

MC: ...Yes, to support you. If it's all right, here. 

I handed him a sports drink that I bought along the way. 

Gerald: Thank you...!

Responding with a smile, he accepted it. 

MC: How are you feeling? 

Gerald: I'm in good shape, so I'll be showing the results in the new audition that's in 3 days. Aside from that, the action movie is the next film of a famous director!

MC: Really!? It'd be good if you could show the results of your special training.

Gerald: I still don't have the self-confidence though. 

Despite what he said, Gerry's expression looked more masculine than before somehow. 

(It'd be nice if he gets chosen...) 

Once I was sure that my support was conveyed to him, I didn't want to get in the way of his special training, so I left the castle for the day...

......

Then, a few days later... 

To support Gerry, I went to the audition site. Although, there was a notice saying that no one else, except for those that are involved, are permitted entry. 

(This is quite a big place...) 

I gasped from the audition structure. Then, Gerry appeared from the car that his manager was driving. 

MC: Good luck today. 

Gerald: Yeah...

His expression looked stiffer than usual due to being a little nervous. 

Gerald: Um... MC, won't you give me a little motivation? 

His sudden request made me blink as I looked at his face. 

Gerald: I want you to hit my back. It'll make it more bearable for me till the end. 

MC: If you're all right with me. 

I did as I was told and hit his back with all my strength. 

Gerald: ...Alright!

Once Gerry hit his own cheeks, he had a strong look in his eyes. 

Gerald: ...I'll be going!

MC: Okay!

At that moment, his tall back slightly bent down... 

MC: ...!

Gerry's lips touched my cheek. 

MC: J-Just now... 

Despite the soft sensation that was still lingering, my cheeks became warm... 

Gerald: That was as thanks for just now. Well, I'll be going!

With an innocent smile, Gerry turned around and walked into the venue. Aside from how he looked during the performance of a film, he looked more robust and promising from behind...

Chapter 9 - Gerry's Transformation

Then, a few days later... The day of the audition results were reported to Gerry. The results were... 

Gerald: I did it! MC!!

MC: ...!!

At the meet up spot, Gerry appeared while running with the report of the results in his hand. 

MC: Congratulations!

Gerald: It seems like the production is behind schedule, so they want me to do a costume fitting right away. I'll be meeting with the stylists after this. If it's all right, I would like you to come with me... 

MC: Eh, me? Are you sure? 

Gerald: Yes, I want to hear your opinion. 

......

Gerry took me to a high-class brand shop that was in the center of town. While being surrounded by stylists, Gerry tried on the costume that had the image of the movie. 

MC: Ah, this costume!

Gerald: ...

As Gerry stood in front of the mirror, the costume that he was wearing changed his image completely as his entire body was cladded in black. 

(So cool...! He looks like a different person.) 

With his hair that was dyed black by the professional stylist, it made his sharpness appear and disappear. 

Gerald: Does it look good? 

When he turned towards me and the stylists, he rotated his right leg. 

MC: You look really nice. 

Stylist: This is the image that the director agreed with. 

After hearing that, Gerry got into position with the prop gun. 

MC: ...!

When he suddenly pulled my hand, my body was being held in one of his arms before I knew it. 

Gerald: What do you think? Doesn't it give you the image of a spy role? 

Gerry made a pose in front of the mirror. 

MC: ...!

My red face was being reflected in the same mirror...

(So embarrassing...) 

After that too, the precise costume fitting continued, but I was desperately trying to hold back my heartbeat... 

Last Chapter - Dream Coming True...

-Flashback-

Gerald: Once the movie is complete... I'll make sure to invite you. Please come until then!

-Flashback-

That was the promise I made with Gerry...

......

Then, one day after many seasons passed... When I heard that the movie was finally complete, I visited Romandia again. 

(It's been a while since I've been here... I wonder if Gerry is doing well.) 

When I went to meet with Gerry... I was walking lightly while thinking that. 

Since today was the private showing of the completed movie, I headed to the theater that was the venue for it... 

Gerald: MC!

When I heard a voice calling out to me from afar, I looked up. Over there was... 

MC: Gerry!

There was Gerry that has become more mature than the last time we've met. With his hair dyed black to match with his role, the appeal that he had was completely different from the image he had before... 

(I wonder why... This whole time, he looks more trustworthy than before.) 

When Gerry ran over here and naturally held my hand, he escorted me to the stairs that were covered by the red carpet in front of the movie theater. 

(Such a big hand...) 

As I was surprised when the sensation of his hand didn't feel the same as the last time I held it... 

Hastened Spectator 1: My, that's... The Traumerei Princess that was invited for today? 

Hastened Spectator 2: As expected of Gerald-sama, having a wide circle of friends. 

The people that were hastened aside the road were making a commotion. 

Gerald: Now then, watch your step... 

MC: Okay. 

While he was being careful like this, nothing about the princelike him in front of me has changed. When I somehow felt nostalgia, I broke into a smile...

......

Then... Once I was led into the theater, the movie screening began after the director's speech. 

(My heart is racing...) 

As Gerry was sitting beside me in the corner of the staff seats, I looked at the screen. 

The movie that had a lot of flashy actions scenes made me grip my sweaty hands. While making splendid moves in one critical situation after another, Gerry carried out his role as the protagonist. 

(So cool...!) 

Just as I became absorbed to the movie in a daze...

Gerald: ...

Without having the surrounding staff and invitees noticing, Gerry placed his fingers over my hand. 

Gerald: We had to retake this scene many times especially. I couldn't fight well that fast... So, it was troubling. 

The Gerry in the screen made the audience excited with his agile movements. I felt how much effort he has put in each of his moves. 

MC: So cool... 

When the Gerry in the screen moved out from the car and got into position with the gun... 

MC: !!

Just as an intense banging sound was heard... Something soft touched my lips. 

(Just now...) 

Gerald: ...Sorry. I just couldn't hold back. 

When he whispered that in my ear, my heart started pounding fast. What touched me were his lips... His hand that was on mine suddenly entwined our fingers together. 

MC: Gerry...? 

Gerry smiled apologetically and returned his gaze to the screen. 

Gerald: It was troubling, but I did my best in everything till the end for you, MC. 

MC: T-That's... 

His whisper that was filled with warmth within the close distance made my face warm... Along with him acting so manly in the screen, I started to warm up from that strong impression. 

(W-What do I do...) 

Whether it was because of his role in the movie or that Gerry was right next to me himself, I was feeling nervous... I slowly moved my gaze from the screen to him. Then, he showed a calm smile. 

Gerald: Hey, MC? After this, shall we go out to eat together like last time? I want to hear your thoughts on my first action moving in a calming place. 

MC: Gerry... 

His hand that was holding mine started to entwine with it strongly. That big hand... HIs long masculine strong fingers were filled with more self-confidence than before. 

Gerald: You don't want to...? 

His sweet voice tickled my ear. 

MC: ...No. 

Then, within the dim lights, as the surrounding gazes were focused on the climax scene... 

MC: ...!

He went in for another kiss on my lips. His pale lips softly touched my lips... 

Gerald: Fufu, MC, aside from your fingers, your lips are soft like marshmallows as well. 

As those gentle words were making the inside of my head go blank... I couldn't think of anything else, except for him entirely...
