Kalt - Prince of Secundati - Sun End

Chapter 5 - While I Was Enveloped in White Snow

The wall of snow that engulfed the trees was approaching me. 

MC: Kalt... -sa-... 

I couldn't say his name well as my voice was trembling. 

(I need to stop him...) 

I desperately reached out to Kalt-san. Although, the snow cut me off as it swallowed me. 

......

(I can't hear anything...) 

When I opened my eyes, I saw a white wall of snow.

(My body feels heavy... It hurts to breathe...) 

The snow that was covering me was freezing up my body that it was even making my heart cold. 

(I got... swallowed up by the snow... I wonder if... Kalt-san is okay.) 

I remembered how he looked before I got swallowed by the snow. 

(My head is...) 

As my consciousness was starting to get hazy at the moment... The snow in front of me was shaking restlessly. 

MC: A snow... rabbit? 

(Is this rabbit... real? Or maybe...) 

Even though I tried to push away the drowsiness, my eyelids became heavy as they slowly closed. 

......

Kalt: I'm sorry... 

Through my distant consciousness, I thought that I heard Kalt-san's voice... 

Last Chapter - Melt Me

When I felt a bright light, my heavy eyelids moved up. 

MC: This place is... 

I saw a dim ceiling. 

Kalt: Have you regained consciousness...? 

(This voice is...) 

When I slowly turned towards that voice, Kalt-san was sitting in a chair on the opposite side of a burning fireplace. 

MC: I... 

Kalt: You got... engulfed by the snow... It was... my fault... I shouldn't have... used that much power... 

As the crackling flames in the fireplace shined on Kalt-san, I couldn't tell what kind of expression he was making because of his long hair covering his face. 

Kalt: I'll apologize... by protecting you. 

MC: Eh...? 

Kalt: I'll... protect you... 

MC: Y-You don't need to do that... 

Just as I quickly got up, I felt pain running through my arm.

MC: ...!

(That's right... I got shot.) 

I traced the bandage that was wrapped around my arm with my finger. 

(Did Kalt-san do this?) 

Kalt: At least until your wound... heals up... 

Kalt-san looked at me. When he looked at me with a strong determination, I accepted his words. 

......

After that... 

Kalt: If there's something you want to eat... Tell me. 

MC: Thank you. 

Since then, Kalt-san has been taking care of me by staying beside me this whole time. 

MC: Kalt-san, I'm okay now. 

Kalt: ...

MC: You haven't been sleeping, are you okay? 

Kalt: I'll... read a book... 

MC: But, you need to sleep... Otherwise, it'll cause harm to your body. 

Kalt: You can't sleep when I'm with you...? 

MC: That's not what I meant... 

(I'm worried about Kalt-san overdoing it...) 

Kalt: Sleep... 

MC: Yes... 

Ignoring my worries, he silently turned a page in the book again. 

......

I opened my eyes when I heard the birds chirping. 

Kalt: Good morning...

(Kalt-san...?) 

Just like yesterday, Kalt-san was sitting in a chair while reading a book. 

MC: Good morning... Could it be that you stayed up this whole time? 

Kalt: The book was interesting...

As he smiled listlessly, his face showed how tired he was. 

(He's... clearly lying.) 

Kalt: Should I go... get some food? 

MC: Sure...

Kalt: Then... 

Just as Kalt-san got up, he staggered as he started walking. 

MC: A-Are you okay!? 

Kalt: I'm ok-...!

The moment Kalt-san said that... 

MC: Eh...? 

Kalt-san fell onto the bed that I was in.

MC: Kalt-san...? 

When Kalt-san slowly got up, I got up as well as my heart suddenly went fast. 

Kalt: Sorry... 

MC: It's okay... 

There was still some warmth remaining on Kalt-san's skin. 

MC: Um... Please don't push yourself. 

Kalt: But, I need to... protect you. 

MC: If you overdo it, your body will collapse... That'll make me sad. 

Kalt: MC... 

MC: I like you the way you are now, Kalt-san. Ah. 

The words that I said so naturally didn't just surprise Kalt-san, but myself as well. Kalt-san's clear eyes widened. Then... 

MC: ...!

Within the bright sunlight that was shining in from the window, he gently smiled. 

(This is the first time... that Kalt-san has smiled.) 

His cold hand softly touched my cheek. His fingers caressed my cheek as if he was checking how it felt. 

Kalt: You're... really warm. 

My heart started to throb from his gentle whisper. 

Kalt: Touching every part of you makes me feel like that... every part of me is melting... even my heart... 

MC: Kalt-san... 

The next moment... When Kalt-san's face slowly got closer, he placed his cold lips over mine. 

MC: ...!

Kalt: I want to... melt... from your... warmth. 

As it felt like Kalt-san was really going to melt, my body was heating up. 

Kalt: MC... 

His cold lips that whispered my name had warmth in them. 

Through the window, I saw that the snow was shining brightly from the morning sunlight as it was fluttering down from the sky...
