Chapter 5 - Remaining Words
I woke up due to the cold. Kairi-san was already dressed and was looking down at me as I was on the bed.
MC: Kairi-san?
Kairi: Do you think that I'm a bad person?
MC: ...? Not really.
Kairi-san became reassured for some odd reason. Although, just as I was thinking that he was acting unusual, his expression instantly turned stern again.
Kairi: MC, stay in the room for today. Don't go outside no matter what.
MC: ...I understand.
(Even though I just nodded, for some reason, the way Kairi-san is behaving is...?)
Kairi: I'm going out for a bit. You... You really are like her.
After saying that, Kairi-san left the hideout and went into the late night...
Last Chapter - By Your Side No Matter What
-Flashback-
Kairi: You... You really are like her.
-Flashback-
(Kairi-san was acting really strange earlier for some reason.)
Just as I was accepting everything, I remembered how he sounded somewhat relieved. I couldn't help, but feel uneasy.
When I thought of the time when Kairi-san gave me a pained look, I ended up following him before I knew it...
(I'm sure that I saw him go over here.)
As I was following him with silent footsteps, I ended up losing trace of him. Then...
Mystery Man: You came alone just as promised.
(That voice just now?)
As I followed that voice, I turned at a corner and looked in. There was Kairi-san, surrounded by 20 well-physique men.
MC: !!
Kairi: Just hurry and tell me what you want. As long as I hear you out, you promised that you won't lay a hand on her.
Mystery Man: You would go that far for a woman, how naïve, Kairi.
The man pulled out a gun from underneath his cloak and placed his finger on the trigger.
MC: Kairi-san!!
Kairi: MC!? Why are you here...!
Mystery Man: Don't let them escape!
MC: ...!
A man with an eyepatch that was near the leader followed that order and rushed in to capture me.
Kairi: I won't let you!
When Kairi-san immediately sets off his small gun, he made the man with the eyepatch flinch and grabbed my hand.
Kairi: Run, MC!
Right at that moment, as the group was causing a commotion from behind, I ran off with Kairi-san as he was protecting me...
......
When we shook those guys off, Kairi-san took me to a building in town to hide in.
Kairi: Why did you follow me! Do you want to die!?
MC: I'm sorry... I just wanted to know what was going on.
Kairi-san frowned in pain and then...
MC: Ah...
Kairi-san hugged my body tight.
Kairi: ...Can you not get inside me like this. I want to be alone... Yet.
MC: ...
What he murmured was a hoarse whisper in my ear.
Kairi: I... I don't want to lose anyone again.
MC: Kairi-san...
Kairi: I can't help, but take a liking to you.
(That's, I...)
MC: Am I... like your sister?
Kairi: ...
When he didn't respond to my question, I felt a heartrending pain when I became surprised myself.
MC: ...Then, won't you let me protect you this time?
Kairi-san raised his face from what I said.
Kairi: ...MC.
(At this rate, it'll be forever hopeless if Kairi-san's heart continues to stay like this...)
MC: It might be ridiculous to stand in as your sister, but... Let me stay by your side.
Kairi: ...
When Kairi-san released me from his embrace, he thought about something from what I said. After a while, when we looked at each other...
Kairi: ...
He placed his hand on my cheek.
Kairi: ...This time, I'll protect you.
Kairi-san's reddish-brown eyes trembled with determination.
MC: Okay.
When I pushed away the pain and showed a smile, he hugged me tightly again.
(As a sister, but...)
If that'll be enough to save Kairi-san, then that's fine. As I was in his arms, I wished that there'll be a day for him to rest someday...
