Chapter 6 - Finally Meeting
Michiru: Blue bird...!
With a broad smile, Michiru-kun looked up at the sky. When I followed that gaze... There was a blue bird flying in the air as if it was cutting through the sky.
(How pretty...)
While that beauty caught my eye, the blue bird stopped at Michiru-kun's shoulder.
Michiru: Where did you go?
Michiru-kun stroked the blue bird's throat with his finger. The beautiful bird chirped with it's beautiful voice that sounded like singing.
Michiru: Yes...
Michiru-kun happily rubbed his cheek against the bird as he talked to it. Although, his smile suddenly disappeared from his face.
Michiru: Eh... Why?
(What's wrong...?)
Michiru: Wait...!
Before Michiru-kun could stop it, the blue bird flew off from his shoulder.
Michiru: Why...
Before our eyes, the blue bird disappeared into the distant sky. Michiru-kun's slender fingers reached out towards the blue sky lifelessly...
Chapter 7 - The Reason for Leaving
Before we knew it, the sky turned into a beautiful red.
Michiru-kun stood still while watching the sky in a daze. After the blue bird flew off ahead, we couldn't see it no matter how much we strained our eyes.
MC: What's wrong...?
When I said that nervously, Michiru-kun spoke while looking at the empty sky.
Michiru: ...He said that he's not going to come back to me anymore... He says I'm fine because I have you now...
As I was unable to understand what he said, Michiru-kun shook his head.
Michiru: He told me to find happiness properly... He said to face the outside world...
Without exchanging looks, big drops of tears fell along his cheeks.
Michiru: He said it was painful... It felt like even I was in a birdcage too... He said I'd be staying like that forever as long as he was there... That's why he left... Why... I was okay as long as I had him with me...
MC: Michiru-kun...
When Michiru-kun lifelessly puts his hand down, I gently held it with both hands.
Michiru: He said... He has my thanks for always making him happy. I can't become happy without him...!
MC: ...
Michiru: What am I supposed to do...?
He asked me that with a lost look in his eyes.
(I can't find the words to say... But...)
MC: ...Don't you think the blue bird was thanking you for his happiness? How about you thank him for your happiness? If you're happy, don't you think that'll make him happy too?
Michiru: My... happiness...?
MC: You can do it now. I'm sure of it...
Michiru: But, I...
MC: You said that he's your treasured friend, so I'm sure that you'll be okay.
With a sad look in his eyes, I saw a few tears returning.
Michiru: A treasured... friend.
When he repeated those words, Michiru-kun looked up at the sky.
MC: Michiru-kun...?
Michiru: The outside world... My happiness...
The sunlight shined on Michiru-kun's eyes.
Michiru: I'm going to return to the castle. I want to try... confronting them properly.
MC: Michiru-kun...
Michiru: I still... don't understand the outside world, but... That's what he wishes for.
When Michiru-kun looked down from the sky, he looked straight at me.
Michiru: Won't you come with me...?
As Michiru-kun was looking different than usual, I somehow felt a fierceness from that expression...
Last Chapter - Trying to Become Happy
The beautiful stars were studded in the sky.
When we arrived at Michiru-kun's castle... We were greeted by many cold gazes.
King: Michiru...! Y-You've returned?
As the king said that coldly, he looked away soon after.
Queen: ...I was sure that you weren't going to come back.
Michiru: ...
(Even though he finally came home...)
The king and queen were speechless as they looked at Michiru-kun in fear.
Michiru: I'm sorry for being out of the castle this whole time.
When he apologized firmly, Michiru-kun lowered his head.
Michiru: MC-san of Traumerei saved me. Won't you prepare a room for her?
King: O-Of course... Right away. MC-sama... Thank you very much.
MC: It was nothing.
After greeting the king and queen, we left from there soon after.
Michiru: ...
When silence returned in the room, the servants' uneasy gazes pierced through Michiru-kun.
(Why...)
Even though I couldn't read minds, I could tell what the people around us were thinking.
MC: Michiru-kun... Are you okay?
Michiru: I'm okay...
As he responded, on Michiru-kun's pale face, sweat was showing on his forehead. Although, his gaze wasn't wavering as it looked straight ahead.
......
The next day...
(I wonder if Michiru-kun is okay...)
As it was beautifully clear that day, I hadn't seen Michiru-kun by the time noon arrived.
(I wonder if he's in pain again...)
Feeling worried, I searched for Michiru-kun in the castle. Then, I found Michiru-kun in front of an office.
MC: Ah, Michiru-ku-
Just as I was about to call out to him, I held in my words.
(Michiru-kun... He's listening to the king very seriously...)
I couldn't bring myself to interrupt him.
(Michiru-kun, you can do it...)
I said that to him in my mind. When Michiru-kun noticed me, he tunred over here wiht a smile. After that smile gave me a little reassurance, I left from there.
Michiru: Miss...
When I looked away from the courtyard that was covered in the evening glow, Michiru-kun was standing there with a pale lifeless face.
MC: Michiru-kun...!
Michiru-kun relied on his strength as he ran up to me.
(He must've been tired...)
Michiru: I'm okay...
Michiru-kun smiled to reassure me.
MC: But...
At that moment...
With a bump, our foreheads met with each other.
Michiru: I feel fine by doing this.
MC: Michiru-kun...?
I looked straight at Michiru-kun's long eyelashes that were right in front of me.
Michiru: Miss' thoughts are really gentle and they don't lie, so it gives me reassurance... Just like him...
(Him... Michiru-kun's treasured blue bird...)
When I remembered how sad Michiru-kun was when the blue bird flew away, my chest tightened. Just as Michiru-kun knew what I was thinking, he chuckled with a smile.
Michiru: As long as Miss is beside me, it gives me an indescribable happiness.
MC: Michiru-kun...
I was reflected in Michiru-kun's blue eyes that were trembling softly.
Michiru: I understand... why he flew awya from my side.
MC: Why is that...?
Michiru: I'm sure that... it's because he didn't want me to suffer. Since I didn't have anyone else besides him, I wouldn't have been able to accept his pain... But, I'm okay now.
MC: Are you...?
Michiru: Yes... Because...
Michiru-kun removed his forehead from mine.
Michiru: I met you, Miss. There are still so many things I'm afraid of in the outside world, but... It's possible that there are people that think like Miss. I won't run away anymore, so I'm sure of it.
Michiru-kun gently touched my cheek with his hand.
MC: Yes, I'm sure there will be...!
Michiru: Thank you... I want to make him happy too. So, I need to try and become happy.
(Michiru-kun... You've gotten stronger...)
Michiru: I want to make you happy too, Miss.
MC: Eh...?
Michiru: I actually want you to be by my side forever, but... If you weren't... I would wish for your happiness from the bottom of my heart.
MC: Michiru-kun...
Michiru-kun smiled strongly. The empty Michiru-kun from when we frist met was no longer there.
MC: ...I'll stay by your side.
Michiru: Eh...
MC: Besides, didn't I tell you?
-Flashback-
Michiru: Will you love me forever?
MC: What are my thoughts saying?
Michiru: Eh...?
-Flashback-
(I said that I loved him...)
When I softly said that in my mind, Michiru-kun's cheeks turned red bashfully.
Michiru: Miss.
Suddenly, Michiru-kun's face got closer...
MC: Eh...?
He softly kissed my forehead.
Michiru: I love you.
He looked at me with his big eyes.
(Me too...)
As it felt like the world was blending in with the red sky... I softly placed my hand on my chest...
