T/N: This end was kind of scary
Haku - Prince of Rivaille - Moon End
Chapter 6 - Change
As Haku-san was carrying me, we returned to the castle...
Haku: ...
After he carefully disinfected my knee, he wrapped a bandage around it.
(Ah...)
The injured rabbit that we met yesterday came over to me. Since the rabbit is feeling better, it was jumping around us.
(That's good... It's all better.)
Haku: Does it hurt?
MC: Ah, no...
Haku-san looked at my knee worriedly.
Haku: Sorry... For putting you in that kind of situation.
MC: No... You protected me, so...
Haku: ...Weren't you scared?
MC: ...Yes.
I answered honestly.
Haku: ...I see.
Suddenly, I noticed a sharp look in Haku-san's eyes.
MC: Haku-san...?
Haku: ...
When I called out to him, he didn't respond... He only looked at my injury again...
Chapter 7 - Hidden Strength
There was a sharp look in Haku-san's eyes...
(I wonder what's wrong...)
MC: Um...
Just as I was about to say something, the rabbit jumped around Haku-san's leg. Then, the sharp look in his eyes disappeared when he looked at the rabbit.
Haku: ...
MC: Looks like it's all better now. I know, how about we take this little guy back to the forest? I'm sure that it has some friends in the forest.
Haku: The forest...
Haku-san's expression darkened a little from my suggestion.
Haku: The bandit might still be in the forest. It's dangerous... That man... He was smiling as he was looking at you...
I remembered the time when the bandit was looking at me with a daring smile.
(He noticed...)
At that time, I noticed that Haku-san's body was shaking a bit.
MC: Haku-san...?
Haku: Thinking about that guy doing something to you... Makes it feel like my heart is being taken over by darkness.
When Haku-san turned towards me, he said those words with a deep and heavy tone.
(...)
In Haku-san's eyes, there was a confused look in them.
Haku: Just... What is this? Explain it to me...!
MC: Haku-san...!?
As Haku-san was confused, he strongly grabbed my shoulders and shouted that.
MC: ...
(Haku-san is a little scary...)
At that moment... The rabbit innocently jumped around us.
Haku: ...
Some of Haku-san's anger went away.
Haku: ...Since you want to, we can take the rabbit back to the forest. But... I won't forgive the person that hurt you.
Haku-san's calm sounding voice remained in my ears...
The next day... Haku-san and I brought the rabbit back to the forest.
MC: Take care.
When Haku-san gently puts down the rabbit... The rabbit energetically jumped around us and went back into the forest.
MC: That's good...
Haku: ...It is.
Haku-san quietly watches the rabbit as it ran off.
(Even though Haku-san was a little scary yesterday...)
I became relieved as there was a calm look in Haku-san's eyes. At that moment... I stood still when I heard an unnatural rustling sound.
MC: ...
For some reason, that sound gave me a bad feeling.
MC: Haku-san...
Before I knew it, I gripped Haku-san's clothes.
Haku: ...It's okay.
Haku-san reassured me as he held me gently.
Haku: Show yourself.
MC: ...!
After Haku-san said that, a single man showed himself from a tree's shadow.
Bandit 1: Well, well. I've been found out.
MC: ...!
It was the man that attacked us in the forest before.
Bandit 1: I'm not alone. Today, I've brought my buddies along.
Before we realized it, we were surrounded by several men.
(What should we do...)
Haku: ...
When Haku-san looked up, he surprisingly stared at the men quietly. In those eyes, there was that sharp dark look that I saw yesterday...
Last Chapter - Feelings Overflowing
The forest trees rustled in suspense...
Haku: ...
Haku-san and I were surrounded by bandits.
Bandit 1: Prince Haku... Today's the day we're taking you with us.
Bandit 2: With you as hostage, we'll get an enormous amount of money from the kingdom.
Haku: ...How idiotic.
After Haku-san murmured that, he pulled out a dagger and charged at the men. At that moment...
MC: Eh...!?
Another man appeared from a tree's shadow and caught me from behind.
Haku: ...!
MC: ...
The strong arm that was constricting my neck made it hard for me to breathe.
Bandit: Prince Haku, if you move...
Haku: MC...!
(Haku-san...!)
MC: ...
As my voice got caught in my throat, I couldn't breathe.
Bandit: Do as we say. If you don't, we'll... ...!?
At that moment... Haku-san ran like the wind and knocked out the man that caught me.
Haku: Don't touch MC...!
Haku-san's expression became strained. After I was free from the bandits, I felt like I was about to collapse at that spot...
Haku: ...!
Haku-san held me tight.
Haku: Are you okay...!
MC: Y-Yes...
When I finally got to breathe, I was coughing roughly as I responded to him...
Haku: ...
Haku-san made a terrifying expression.
Haku: You bastards...!
After setting me down gently, Haku-san savagely charged at the bandits.
Bandit: ...!
Haku-san took down all the bandits with his overwhelming strength.
(Amazing...)
Haku: ...Unforgivable.
While the bandits weren't moving as they were bleeding, Haku-san continued beating them up.
Haku: ...Suffer, suffer more...!
Bandit 1: Hie...
The bandits were overcome with fear.
MC: Haku-san...! That's enough...!
Haku: ...!
After I shouted that, Haku-san suddenly calmed down.
Haku: ...
The bandits passed out all at once.
Haku: MC... Thank goodness. I was able to protect you.
When Haku-san said that, he smiled at me with a blank gaze.
MC: Um... Are you okay?
Haku: Yeah... Is this what being happy means? I felt happy about protecting you... That was the emotion from just now... Hahaha!
Haku-san's daring laugh echoed throughout the forest.
(Haku-san...?)
Haku: Can you stand? Let's go back to the castle.
Haku-san's face was pretty scary... From that moment, I felt that something has changed in Haku-san's heart...
When we returned to the castle, the servants became surprised after seeing us.
Maid: Haku-sama! MC-sama...! Your clothes have become so dirty...!
Butler: What on earth happened!?
Haku: Today, I have experienced anger.
Haku-san happily reported that to the servants as they were panicking.
Haku: Anger is pretty nice... That emotion made me feel stronger than usual. I see, so that's how Mother felt... Kuku.
(Haku-san...)
I recalled Haku-san's daring laugh from earlier.
Haku: What's wrong...?
As I was perplexed, Haku-san looked at me oddly.
Haku: Are you hurt somewhere...?
MC: I'm okay.
When I answered nervously at that moment...
MC: ...!
Haku-san suddenly hugged me.
MC: Haku-san...?
Haku: It's unforgivable to have put you in such danger... That's why I'm going to protect you from now on.
Haku-san laughed faintly as he combed through my hair with his fingers.
Haku: Is this... what they meant by something precious? I want you to explain that to me.
It felt like Haku-san was about to break me as he hugged me strongly.
Haku: Is this... what they call love?
MC: Eh...
As Haku-san held me in his arms, I tried going through my own emotions. Due to the strength in his arms, I felt some kind of fear...
(I don't know...)
Haku: I get it... I love you. What about you...?
His words that contained his feelings and his fast heartbeat made it clear...
Haku: MC...
He placed his lips against my lips.
(Are these Haku-san's emotions...?)
MC: Haku-san... What are you feeling right now...?
Haku: I feel satisfied. It's a really nice feeling.
(I guess... that's good...)
As I was unable to resist Haku-san's arms... I gently placed my own hand over his warm one...
