Chapter 6 - Him in the Thunder Household
The next day... We immediately began preparations for his grandmother's birthday party.
MC: Should we make the invitations like this?
Ritz: Sure! No problems here! Thanks for making them! Ah, hey, hey! Can you think of some designs for the decorations?
MC: Do you think I'm the right person for that?
Ritz: You're both girls! I'm sure that Grandma will like what you like.
Then, the two of us proceeded with the preparations smoothly...
......
A few days later...
Ritz: Grandma, Happy Birthday!
After shouting that, the bright lights went on in the party hall. In the sky, Ritz-san wrote a message with lightning.
(To think that he can use lightning magic like this...!)
When I quickly ran towards the dark sky in amazement, there was a bright birthday message written with a small electricity discharge in it...
(Amazing...)
As I was looking at the view...
Ritz: I knew that Grandma would be surprised by such a loud sound!
Ritz-san made a mischievous smile. Thus, his grandmother's birthday party began...
Chapter 7 - The Prideful Him
Surrounded by a large group of guests, it felt like a gorgeous festival was happening in the assembly hall.
Guards: Your Majesty! Happy Birthday!!
Nobles: Happy Birthday!
One by one, a lot of people were congratulating Ritz-san's grandmother.
Queen: It's been so long since the castle has been flourished with this many people.
She made a wrinkly kind smile. Then, she happily smiled at Ritz-san.
Ritz: Hey, I can do this too!
When Ritz-san said that proudly, he made a little snap and used thunder to create something like fireworks in the area.
MC: Pretty...This is the first time I'm enjoying myself by looking at thunder.
As I was in a daze from the thunder magic, his grandmother approached me.
Queen: How nostalgic... Like Ritz, my husband, who has passed, loved to create entertainment. He's just like him, being popular with everyone by doing that.
MC: Your Majesty...
I replied to her with a smile. Then, from among the crowd of people, Ritz-san came over here.
Ritz: Grandma, MC, are you having fun!?
Queen: Of course, Ritz.
MC: Yes! I never thought that you could use thunder to create something so pretty like this! Everyone is enjoying themselves... Your magic is really amazing.
Ritz: ...
When I told Ritz-san how I felt, his cheeks turned red.
(Huh? I wonder what's wrong.)
Then, his grandmother laughed elegantly.
Queen: Fufu... Such an honest lady, making Ritz blush. Ritz, make sure to take care of MC-san from now on.
Ritz: ...Same goes for you, Grandma, make sure to live long.
Ritz-san's grandmother laughed from his curt words. Then... We watched the very lively birthday party until it came to an end...
Last Chapter - The Passionate Him
When the party ended without any problems... After everyone left the hall, we were cleaning things up. We placed the pile of used plates in a wagon that'll be taken to get washed.
Ritz: Thanks for helping.
MC: No, I'm just glad that your grandmother was happy.
Ritz: ...Yeah.
As Ritz-san lightly nodded, he murmured something.
(Ritz-san...?)
In a moment of silence, he raised his head again.
Ritz: ...MC.
He gave me a serious look that he's never shown before.
MC: Ritz-sa...!?
When my words were cut off at the moment, Ritz-san grabbed me and we fell onto the sofa.
MC: P-Please wait!
As my shoulders were being held, I tried to get up. Although, Ritz-san's hands kept me in place and when I looked up...
Ritz: ...
Ritz-san was red with teary eyes.
(Ritz-san? Is he still drunk from the alcohol that he drank at the party...?)
My heart gradually became louder.
MC: ...!
Just as the atmosphere around Ritz-san became slightly brighter, a dish broke as it's fragments got scattered around.
Ritz: Sorry... I got a little too reckless.
When I got caught by Ritz-san's slightly heated stormy gaze...
MC: Ritz-san?
Ritz: Sorry for being so sudden... But, I can't hold back my feelings... I... You... I think I love you, MC. I want to start loving you properly... So... Sorry about doing it so suddenly while I'm in a drunken state...
In just a few moments, his words stopped. The next words that he whispered to me were...
Ritz: If you still don't have your fated person... You can choose me.
At that moment, his face approached my nape. The usually cheery and bright Ritz-san looked completely different as he was talking with a serious look.
Ritz: Hey... Is it all right?
When I felt his breath on my nape, my heartbeat was going wild.
(What should I do...)
As all sorts of Ritz-san's expressions went through my head, the only one that was on my mind was his gentle expression from when he was with his grandmother...
MC: ...
When I remembered that face, I accepted him and eased up.
Ritz: Okay, thank you...
He sounded relieved as he softly whispered that in my ear...
At that moment, I continued to let him hold me in his intense and gentle warmth...
