Sai - Prince of Saphinia - Moon End

Chapter 6 - Within the Blazing Flames

(Where did the kitten go...) 

To save the kitten, I wandered into the blazing cabin. 

MC: Where are you!? 

With smoke hanging over, I was unable to see what's around me. 

(What should I do, I can't find the kitten like this.) 

Even though I was moving forward blindly... 

(It hurts...) 

As the cabin was gradually getting filled with smoke, it was becoming painful to breathe. When I lost a bit of my strength, I collapsed at that spot. 

(Is the kitten... all right...? Sai-san...) 

While cowering, I was coughing roughly and at that moment... 

Sai: MC!

(Sai-san...?) 

When I looked up to where his voice was coming from, I saw Sai-san holding the kitten as he held out his hand to me. 

MC: S-Sai... 

Sai: Don't speak. 

When Sai-san held my hand, I became relieved... 

MC: Sai-san...!

The moment he helped me up, I was pressed against his chest. 

Sai: Sorry that I'm late. 

Just as I was about to cry from relief, he gently hugged me. 

Sai: Now, let's hurry and leave. 

Thanks to being saved by him, both me and the kitten made it outside safely. 

Chapter 7 - Sai's Injury

With Sai-san supporting me, we somehow managed to get outside. 

MC: ...Sai-san, I'm sorry. 

Sai: MC, are you okay? 

Even though I was still feeling pain, I nodded as he looked at me worriedly. 

MC: Thank you so much. Is the kitten... 

Sai: There's no need to worry, he's fine. 

The kitten was curled up in Sai-san's arms. 

(That's a relief...) 

After seeing him like that, my uneasiness went away as I calmed down. 

Boy: Miss, are you okay!? 

With buckets in hand, the children that were dripping wet ran up to me. 

(They must have been extinguishing the fire like crazy.) 

MC: Yes, I'm all right. Thank you. 

In front of the cabin, there were a lot of people trying to put out the fire. 

Sai: These children were the ones that brought in everyone. 

The boys looked at me worriedly. 

Boys: We're sorry... Miss. 

MC: It's okay. 

I smiled and petted their heads as they were about to cry. Once the fire went down, the smoke ascended to the sky. 

MC: That's good... Looks like it's over. 

Sai: Yes, seems like it. 

Suddenly, my eyes stopped at Sai-san's arm. 

(It became red... A burn!?) 

MC: Sai-san, your arm is... and all because of me!

Sai-san smiled and placed his hand over the burn to hide it. 

Sai: It's all right. 

(Sai-san...) 

With the boys helping out, the small fire ended. The kitten rubbed his head against my leg. 

(That's good...) 

Sai: Let's take this little guy back to the castle too. 

Sai-san suddenly said that. 

MC: Eh!? Are you serious!? But... You said that the king doesn't like animals. 

Sai: Hmm... But, I can't just leave him here. It'll be okay if it's only for a little while without him finding out. 

Sai-san looked at me with a troubled smile. 

Sai: Now then, let's go back to the castle together. 

(Sai-san...) 

When Sai-san picked him up, the kitten happily meowed. 

(I'm glad that we're returning together.) 

At that moment, when the kitten moved in Sai-san's arms, he grimaced. 

(...His burn does hurt!) 

MC: Sai-san, we have to treat your burn...!

Sai: I'm okay. 

MC: Let me look at your injury.

When I picked up the kitten from Sai-san's arms, I checked his burn. 

MC: It became a bit redder than before... 

Sai: I'm really okay. 

MC: Let's return to the castle immediately, I'll treat it. 

Sai: ...This kind of injury is nothing. 

Sai-san scowled as he was enduring the pain from the burn. 

(Such a painful looking expression...) 

MC: No, let's hurry and get it treated. 

I pulled Sai-san's hand and started walking. 

Once we've arrived at the castle, I quicky began the treatment when Sai-san sat down on the bed. 

(Sai-san, despite that you're afraid of fire, you ended up getting a burn...) 

When I used some ice to cool down the burn, I looked at him. 

MC: Sai-san, thank you so much for saving me. 

Sai: ... 

MC: Even though you're not that good with fire... 

Sai: Even though I have been afraid of fire in the past... This time, it didn't really scare me. 

MC: ...? 

Sai: Besides, weren't you scared of it more? 

(...Eh?) 

Sai: Sorry I couldn't save you fast enough. 

MC: W-Why are you apologizing? 

Sai-san hid his face by looking down at the floor. 

(Sai-san...?) 

When I placed my hand on the ice as he sounded depressed, it made a crackling sound... 

Last Chapter - True Feelings

The kitten had a bell around it's neck that rings as it runs... 

After a few days have passed since the fire, the remnants of the castle have quickly become attached to the kitten. 

(Despite that it's being kept a secret from the king...) 

Even the remnants of the castle gave their cooperation to Sai-san's orders of hiding the kitten from the king. 

(But, ever since the day of the fire, it felt like Sai-san has been avoiding me.) 

Since he had his injury being treated by a doctor, I don't know about his condition. 

(Sai-san, he didn't eat dinner... Is he okay?) 

I brought his meal to his room. With the castle's chef's beautifully made dinner in hand, I knocked on the door to Sai-san's room, but... There was no response. 

MC: Sai-san? I've brought you some dinner... 

When I called out to him, there was no answer. 

(He's supposed to be in his room. I wonder if he really is avoiding me.) 

MC: ...Sai-san, I'll come back later. 

After saying that softly, I left from there and at that moment... 

Sai: ...Help. 

(I heard something just now...) 

With my ear near the door, I called out to him. 

MC: ...Sai-san? 

Sai: ...MC, help. 

MC: Sai-san!

When I opened the door in a panic... 

(...!) 

In Sai-san's room, there were many cats jumping around playfully. I blinked many times for a while from that scene. 

(Didn't he bring in just one...?) 

As I was unable to understand the situation well... 

Sai: It seems like this little guy has made some friends... We have to get them out. 

After finding the kitten that Sai-san was caring for, we tried taking his friends outside. 

(Even though Sai-san is feeling troubled.) 

MC: Fufu... 

I laughed without thinking. 

(It's kind of cute...) 

Sai: It's not funny... 

As Sai-san was covered with cats, he made a troubled sigh. 

MC: How's your burn? Does it still hurt? 

Sai: It doesn't hurt anymore. 

I looked at where the burn was on Sai-san's arm. The injury was no longer there. 

MC: That's good... 

Sai: Sorry for worrying you. 

I shook my head greatly. 

MC: Sai-san... I want to thank you for saving me. 

Sai: Thanking me... I find myself unforgivable for putting you in danger. If only I had properly went to the cabin with you. 

(...Eh?) 

MC: ...Sai-san? 

As if Sai-san said that without thinking, he stopped himself. 

(Blaming himself like that... Is that why he's been avoiding me?) 

MC: You're wrong! I was the one who entered the cabin without thinking... Since you were the one that got burned... I'm the one who should be apologizing.

Sai: ... 

MC: Please, let me thank you somehow. 

I tormented myself due to the fact that Sai-san got hurt because of my thoughtlessness... Unable to bear it, I desperately begged him. 

Sai: Thanking me... There's really nothing that I want. 

MC: Then, is there something that you want me to do? 

(For Sai-san's sake, I will do anything.) 

MC: What would you like? Please tell me. 

Sai: ...

Sai-san closed his eyes and thought about it for a while... 

Sai: Then... Let me touch you. 

MC: Eh? 

After those unexpected words, Sai-san looked at me closely. 

(Touch me...?) 

Then... 

As I was perplexed, Sai-san held my hand and sat on the bed. 

Sai: Anything is fine, right...? 

MC: ... 

I nervously touched Sai-san's hand with my own. 

Sai: ...It's not enough. 

(Sai-san...?) 

As he was acting differently than usual, my heartbeat became fast. When Sai-san touched my hand, he used his own to entwine them together. 

Sai: ... 

Then, with our hands entwined at the moment, Sai-san brought them to his cheek. 

Sai: So warm... Touching you up close feels nice. 

Sai-san's soft voice filled my ears. 

Sai: During the time of the fire, I couldn't help, but worry about you. Since what you did was so reckless... I became really uneasy and went in to search for you. 

Sai-san softly kissed my hand. 

MC: ... 

Sai: This time, I will protect you more properly. 

When Sai-san said that, he placed a gentle kiss against my eyelids. 

MC: ...!

My cheeks became hot. After placing a kiss against my hair, he placed his lips over mine and the next moment... 

Kitten: Meow. 

The kitten that we saved jumped in front of us. 

Sai: ...It'd be nice if you could read the room. 

My body that wasn't moving due to the nervousness suddenly became light. 

MC: Fufu... I wonder if he felt left out. 

Sai: ...Geez. 

MC: There, there, we're sorry. 

The moment I picked up the kitten and looked at him... My chin was suddenly raised and I felt a soft sensation against my lips. 

MC: ...!

Sai: Let's continue our time together... Okay? 

When Sai-san made a mischievous smile, he gently caressed my hair. As I became attracted to his shiny blue eyes... It felt like I forgot how to breathe...
