Chapter 6 - The Aftermath of the Case

Regarding the case that happened so suddenly when I came to the Mysterium Kingdom, it ended up being a mystery tour that was set up by Graham-kun and his grandfather as a way to welcome me. Although, it didn't go as planned in the end and Graham-kun was feeling down about it... 

Graham: Haa... In the end, it was a complete failure. If only we had a more detailed plan and had the time to rehearse...

MC: But, it was fun. 

Graham: No, didn't you get scared? 

MC: I was scared because I thought it was a real case... Isn't that what you were going for? 

Graham: ...

MC: ...Ah, I know. I want to try seeing your office. 

Since Graham-kun was so down in spirits, I tried to change the subject somehow. 

Graham: My office...? 

MC: Yes. I want to see your room... I can't? 

Graham: It's not that you can't. It's just not something worth seeing though... 

As Graham-kun responded softly, his cheeks turned somewhat red. 

MC: ...Um, Graham-kun. Aren't your cheeks a little red...? 

Graham: Y-You're imagining things. Let's go. 

Graham-kun looked away and started walking soon after... 

Chapter 7 - The Birth of Mysteries

Graham-kun took me to his office just as I had requested. 

MC: Wow... How nice. 

In the room, there was an antique hourglass and peculiar small objects of good taste that were well-arranged. Even the desk and chair looked special. 

Graham: Since this room is where I do my work, it's filled with only things I like. Even though they contrast, they actually go well with each other. That's what I like about them. 

Graham-kun explained his room proudly. 

(That's good. He cheered up a little...) 

Just as I was feeling happy, I listened to Graham-kun talk... 

Graham: Mm... 

Suddenly, Graham-kun closed his eyes as he held his head. 

MC: Graham-kun? 

Graham: Ah... Sorry, it's nothing. My head just hurts a little. 

MC: Your head...? Could it be that you're not feeling well...? 

Graham: ...I-I said I'm fine. This is just... 

As Graham-kun was trying to gloss it over, I placed my hand over his forehead. Then... 

MC: ...! Graham-kun, you're really warm... A-Anyway, how about you sit down? 

Graham: ...

Even though he was actually pushing himself, Graham-kun did what I said and we sat down on the neatly arranged sofa next to each other. 

MC: How long have you been feeling like that...? 

Graham: ...I had a bit of cold since yesterday. 

MC: If that's the case, then why would you... 

(I'm really happy that he welcomed me, but...) 

Worried about Graham-kun's health, I made a gloomy expression next. 

Graham: It can't be helped... It's because Grandfather said that he wanted to do it. That guy, once he says something, he won't listen. Also... 

MC: Also...? 

Graham: N-No, it's nothing. 

(I wonder what it is, I'm curious... But, he's not feeling well, so I shouldn't be questioning him...) 

Then, Graham-kun's face suddenly turned even more red. 

MC: Graham-kun, wouldn't it be best for you to rest already? Go lie down in bed... 

Graham: But... You just came here. Just a little bit more... 

Graham-kun pleaded with a heated gaze... When that expression made my heart race, I ended up nodding... 

Last Chapter - Within a Whispering Distance

Graham-kun looked at me with a heated gaze. 

(I wonder if... he's in a daze because of his fever. If he looks at me like that...) 

MC: U-Um, you have a fever, so it'd be best if you lie down. 

Graham: No. I'm fine with staying like this. 

MC: Eh...?

As he was acting spoiled, Graham-kun softly cuddled up close to me and before I knew it, my heart skipped a beat. 

MC: ...You won't get better by doing this. 

Graham: I don't care about getting better. I finished writing everything in my manuscript before you came here. 

MC: Really...? 

Graham: Yeah. Because I wanted to... welcome you properly. 

As Graham-kun was acting unusually honest, my heartbeat became fast... 

(Since he's this close to me... He might notice my fast heartbeat.)

Graham: I wanted to show you... that I was hardworking and cool. But, it was no good. 

MC: Graham-kun... That's not true, I'm really happy. 

Graham: But... I couldn't do it well in the end and above all that, I caught a cold. I'm so uncool. 

After Graham-kun said that frustratedly, he sighed listlessly. 

MC: You didn't have to push yourself like that... 

Graham: I wanted to. Because... it was for you. 

MC: ...!

His unexpected words made my heart tighten firmly. Then... 

Graham: Mm... 

Graham-kun softly cried out in pain. 

MC: U-Um, are you really okay? We should let you lie down in bed properly... 

Then, at that moment... 

Graham: It's hot... 

MC: ...!

Graham-kun placed his warm hand on my cheek and placed his forehead against mine. 

Graham: My body... feels hot. Especially, my forehead... 

As he was right in front of me, Graham-kun's long eyelashes blinked. Surprised by the sudden action, I couldn't bring myself to say anything... 

Graham: Your forehead... feels so nice and cold. 

Graham-kun happily smiled.

(Graham-kun...) 

Graham: Since this morning, I've been feeling painfully hot... But, I wanted to spend time with you... 

MC: You didn't have to push yourself like that... Even if you were in bed with a cold, I would've stayed by your side properly. 

Graham: But, I wanted to surprise you... If I were asleep... That would be so uncool. 

Graham-kun's heated breath felt warm against my cheek... It felt like he was casting a spell on me, so that I wouldn't move...

MC: You're not uncool. Also, right now, I'm really surprised... 

Graham: Eh...? Why? 

MC: Because you're close to me like this... 

Graham: Close, what... Don't say that. 

Just as I thought that he looked cute, he suddenly told me to stop in a mature tone. It felt like my heart was being taken away even more as he, who was between the ages of being an adult and child, was shaking. 

MC: ...It's because you're looking at me... 

Graham: Did you think I was going to kiss you? 

MC: ...!

Graham: Fufu, just kidding. It's strange. I have a fever and nothing has gone well, I feel like saying all sorts of things. 

MC: U-Um, Graham-kun...

Graham: Don't run away. I want to stay like this for a bit longer... Got it? 

When he said that with heated teary eyes... I couldn't bring myself to refuse. 

MC: Okay... Just for a bit. 

When I nodded confusedly, Graham-kun's heated smile turned into a happy smile...
