Ivan - Prince of Trugville - Sun End

Chapter 6 - Relationship Changing

-Flashback-

Ivan: Then, spare some time for me. I want to thank you for yesterday. 

MC: Thank me...

Ivan: There's a place that I want to take you to. Come with me.

-Flashback-

As people were passing by each other and spending their daily lives, there was a gentle and peaceful atmosphere around. When I accepted Ivan's invitation, I went with him to town. 

(Apologizing to me, thanking me... Ivan is really sincere.) 

While he was walking half a step ahead of me, I got a pleasant feeling from looking at the side of his face in secret. 

Ivan: Hey. 

When Ivan made a bit of a sharp look, he suddenly turned towards me. 

Ivan: It's dangerous if you're not looking forward. 

MC: Eh? 

Ivan: You've been only looking at me since earlier. 

Once I knew that he noticed me, my heartbeat instantly sped up. 

MC: That's... 

Ivan: Is there something on my face? Or do you need something? 

(I was thinking about Ivan...) 

Although, I became somewhat nervous that I became unable to speak well. Just as I became hesitant at that moment... 

Boy: Uwah!

Turning right at the corner, a boy jumped in front of us... 

Chapter 7 - Exchanging Smiles

Just as the boy yelped in surprise at a peaceful street corner at that moment... 

Boy: !

The boy slipped when he was about to back away to avoid us. 

(Oh no!)

I tried to save him that instant, but Ivan got to him faster than me. Before the boy fell, he was being carried lightly. 

Ivan: Are you okay? You didn't twist your foot? 

Boy: I'm okay! Thank you, Mister!

Ivan: Yeah, be careful. 

After the boy energetically smiled, he jumped up onto the ground and ran off. 

(It's a good thing that he didn't get hurt.) 

Just as I became relief, I heard a deep soft voice from beside me. 

Ivan: Cyril... He must've been lonely ever since he was young. 

Ivan watched the boy's back from afar with a pained look. 

(Ivan...) 

Ivan: But, he looked like he has been enjoying himself with you guys, Traumerei Princess. It's been so long since he has made that kind of face... 

When Ivan moved his gaze towards me, his eyes narrowed somewhat happily. At that moment, I suddenly noticed the gazes around us. 

(It feels like we're being watched by the people that are passing by...) 

Ivan: Traumerei Princess? 

The moment Ivan called out to me, I felt gazes on me again. 

(Ah, it's because of the way he's addressing me.) 

Once I've realized the reason, I softly whispered to Ivan. 

MC: Ivan, um... I have a favor. 

Ivan: What is it? 

MC: Is it all right with you to change the way you address me when we're in town? I won't be the center of attention if you call me by my name. 

Ivan: ...Then. 

He tried to say my name, but he stiffened up just as he was about to do so for some reason. His eyes that usually look straight at me were now shaking perplexedly. 

MC: What's wrong? 

Ivan: Somehow... It's oddly hard to say. It's because I've gotten so used to calling you, "Traumerei Princess", this whole time. 

He messily ruffled his gorgeous hair in frustration. 

MC: It's okay, you need to push yourself. 

Ivan: No, that's not what I meant. It must be hard to be the center of attention. 

When Ivan sighed deeply, he spoke boldly. 

Ivan: ...MC. 

The next moment, Ivan's face turned red like the sunset. 

(Even though he's only saying my name...) 

When even his ears were turning red, my cheeks became warm as well... 

Ivan: Why are you also...!

MC: What you did took an effect on me... 

As it felt odd from how we both embarrassed each other, Ivan and I both burst into laughter. 

Ivan: Haha.

MC: Fufu... 

When our laughter became one, a light breeze carried it away. 

Ivan: To think a day where I get to laugh with you like this would come, it's unbelievable. Despite how much I detested you... It's strange. 

As Ivan looked at me, he told me that as if he was questioning himself. His earnest gaze that was on me made my heart a little noisy for some reason...

Last Chapter - Finding a Wish

When the various colors of flowers in bloom filled my vision... 

Ivan: We're here. 

At a beautiful vast flower field outside of town, Ivan silently stopped his feet. 

MC: This is where you wanted to take me? 

Ivan: Yeah. Didn't you say that you like flowers? 

(That's...) 

When I became happy that he remembered, I broke into a smile. 

MC: They're really beautiful. Also, they smell nice... 

Ivan: Let's stay here to look at the flowers. Then, we'll return soon after. 

Suddenly, Ivan walked away from me and went into the colorful flower field. As he looked around the area, he checked each flower closely. 

(What is he looking for...?) 

As I thought that it was strange while watching him, Ivan softly picked a white flower. 

Ivan: Sorry to make you wait. 

With a single white flower in his hand, he came back to me. The flower that had multiple layeres of petals was gorgeous and adorable. 

MC: No, it's okay. That flower is? 

Ivan: ...As thanks. It's for you. 

As he and the white flower approached me, the distance between us suddenly shrunk. The next moment... 

His large hand reached out as he gently adorned the lovely flower in my hair. 

Ivan: I knew it. It looks good on you. 

Ivan nodded greatly as he showed a satisfied smile. 

MC: You knew...? 

Ivan: I thought that this flower would suit you the most. 

MC: Then, you've been looking for a flower to pick for me just now? 

Ivan: Yeah. I didn't choose the rose bouquet, so... I wanted to choose something on my own this time. 

From his expression that was unable to hide his embarrassment, his sincere feelings reached me. As I felt warmth spreading within me, I smiled at Ivan. 

MC: Thank you. That makes me really happy. It's a really cute flower. 

Ivan: ...

Ivan looked like he forgot what to say and stared at me... 

MC: Ivan...? 

I questioned him as I hid my suddenly loud heartbeat. 

Ivan: I still want to stay like this. Is that okay? 

MC: ...Sure. 

Ivan's warm hand lightly touched my cheek. The warmth that it holds suddenly made my heart skip a beat sweetly. 

Ivan: Being with you feels different than when I'm with any of my brothers. Looking at you makes my heart so noisy that it won't calm down somehow. Also... For some reason, I can't take my eyes off you. 

He continued to look straight at me as there was a confused look in his eyes. 

(That's... probably the same thing that I'm feeling too.) 

I became attracted to his dark eyes that look like they have dawn imprisoned in them. As we looked at each other, we became enveloped by the sweet scent of flowers... 

Ivan: I want to know why I'm feeling this way.

Ivan's heated voice went straight to my heart. At that moment... 

Ivan: ...I know. Let's do this. 

Just as Ivan thought of something, he suddenly smiled broadly. 

MC: Eh? 

Ivan: I've made my wish. I want to know these feelings towards you. 

MC: ...So, you've found your wish. 

Ivan: Yeah. 

Ivan's exceptional smile filled my heart with happiness. 

Ivan: I wonder when it'll come true. 

MC: You have time. You always will, even after we save Adam. 

Ivan: ...You're right. As long as I'm with you, I'm sure that the day will come that I'll find the answer... No, there's one thing that I do know. 

While looking at me, Ivan's bashful expression changed. 

MC: What is it?

Ivan: ...You're very cute with that flower on you. 

In his eyes that narrowed brightly, I was the only thing being reflected in them...

(Ivan...) 

The words that he said tickled my ears sweetly. 

MC: Cute, that's... 

Unaware of my fast heartbeat, I spoke awkwardly. 

Ivan: It's true. 

MC: Then... Let it be my gratitude for the flower that you gave me. 

Ivan: I don't know why, but... I don't want any of my brothers to look at you. This is a secret between just the two of us. 

The moment Ivan whispered that to me deeply, starlight ran across his clear eyes. 

Ivan: It's a shooting star. 

When we looked up, shooting stars were making several curved bright lights in the dark blue sky. As Ivan and I were looking at the same lights, we snuggled up against each other before we knew it...
