Ster - Prince of Meteobel - Sun End

Chapter 7 - The Outcome of the Wish

(My wish is...) 

I looked at the shooting star that was glowing in my hand. As those feelings were overflowing from the bottom of my heart, I couldn't bring myself to make a wish. 

(I want to be with you forever... I don't want to part from you.) 

Suddenly, the shooting star flew out of my hand and the stardust clock was shining. 

The next moment... The stars in the night sky fell all at once and were aiming for Ster-san. The fragments of the stars were dissolving into Ster-san's stardust clock. 

(What's happening...?) 

Most of the bright light formed an arc and aimed at Ster-san's chest with a large amount of energy. As I was forgetting to breathe with my eyes were absorbed at the moment...

MC: ...

(What...?)

Ster: MC!

My nape felt very hot. When I slowly touched it, it felt like my neck had been stabbed by something as bright red blood was dripping from my fingers. 

Ster: The star...!

(The star...? The star pierced me?) 

As there was a large pool of blood on the floor, my consciousness suddenly became distant... 

Ster: I'll get you some medical treatment right away...! With a wish...!

MC: Ster-san, don't...!

(You'll die...!) 

Within my distant consciousness, I sensed him summoning a shooting star... 

Chapter 8 - The Power of the Stars

Just as Ster-san was about to make a wish to a shooting star that he summoned... 

MC: No... 

I tried to stop his hand, but I didn't have the strength to do so. 

Ster: Be quiet... 

(But, I wished to be with Ster-san. Ster-san using his life to heal me...) 

MC: Something like that... won't make me happy.

Ster: I said be quiet!

When he held me to calm me down, Ster-san chanted a wish to the shooting star. 

(Ster-san is going to die.) 

MC: No...!!

(You don't need to heal me...! Just stop...) 

As I was unable to open my eyes and was about to lose consciousness completely...

MC: ...? 

All the pain disappeared and I felt my strength slowly coming back. 

(I'm healed? Then...) 

MC: Ster-san!

Although... When I opened my eyes, there was Ster-san standing still with nothing happening to him. 

Ster: What happened? 

MC: What a relief... 

Even though I wasn't feeling pain anymore, I lost all the strength in my body and was unable to stand up. While I was breathing, I checked to see if he was in front of me many times. 

MC: Could it be that... My wish was granted. 

Ster: Your wish? What did you wish for? 

MC: I wished... to be with Ster-san forever. 

Ster: That can't be... I've never heard of something like that. 

After saying that, he looked at me and the stardust clock that was somehow shining more alternatively. 

MC: Ster-san, you said so yourself. No matter what kind of wish it is, you'll grant it. That's why, I...

Ster: You...

Ster-san hugged me gently. 

Ster: You're so... stupid. 

After he said that, he added more strength into his hands that were hugging me. While he was hugging me, I could hear his heartbeat as it was pounding loudly. 

Ster: MC. Thank you. 

Then, he slowly snatched my lips away. 

(Thank goodness, Ster-san.) 

While that warmth was clear to me, I slowly closed my eyes... 

Chapter 9 - A Petition and a Confession

-Flashback-

Ster: You're so... stupid. Thank you. 

-Flashback-

Right after that... After a series of reports were sent to the king, Ster-san took me to Meteobel right away. 

Ster: There's someone I want you to meet. 

When Ster-san said that as we descended from the star... 

For some reason... I was taken to where Ster-san's father, the king, was having tea. 

(Who would've thought that the person he wanted me to meet was the king...) 

As I was silent from now knowing what would be good to say, Ster-san brought some tea for me. 

(It smells nice...) 

While there was a slightly sweet scent coming from the tea that Ster-san poured out, he added some knopeito* in place of sugar. 

T/N: Japanese sugar candy 

King: My apologies. I cannot permit a maid to enter the laboratory. 

MC: No, it's okay. 

Feeling nervous, my voice was a little hoarse. 

Ster: MC, were you surprised? My father isn't just the king, but he's also a famous scientist. Usually when he's not int he royal palace, he does research on the stars for this kingdom. I've yearned to be like him... 

King: This area is okay. By the way, is your body doing okay? You've been walking around again. 

Ster: Yes... I wanted to talk about that. 

Just as Ster-san said that, he looked at me for some reason. 

Ster: She made a wish. It's that... she wanted to be with me... 

After the king slightly tilted his head to the side, he became surprised when he saw Ster-san's chest. 

King: The stardust clock is...? 

Ster: Yes. For some reason... The stardust isn't decreasing no matter how many wishes I grant. That's why I came here for your forgiveness, Father. 

King: Forgiveness...? 

Ster: Yes... 

After taking a deep breath, Ster-san faced the king tensely. 

Ster: I want to use my life for the kingdom and her. From now on, forever. 

MC: Eh...!? 

He held my hand. 

(What's happening...?) 

The sound of the king placing the cup down echoed within the silent room... 

Last Chapter - Something Certain

As the nightly breeze that would sometimes come in from the window gently touched my cheek... 

Ster: MC... You asked me about it. What my wish is. I finally know what it is. I want to be by your side. 

MC: ...

Since it was so sudden, I became speechless. 

(I... How am I supposed to respond to that?) 

As all kinds of thoughts were going around my head, I couldn't come up with a response and... 

King: Young lady. 

MC: Y-Yes. 

King: My son... You have my wholehearted gratitude for saving Ster. 

MC: No, not at all..! I just... I was scared that I wouldn't be able to see his smile anymore... 

-Flashback-

Ster: I've remembered enough, so that I won't forget... It's fine.

-Flashback-

(...That's...?) 

MC: I didn't want him to disappear... and I wanted to see him forever...

-Flashback-

Ster: ...You said that you liked flowers. 

-Flashback-

MC: I... 

Within my heart, there was some kind of sound. As I was unable to describe it, I only gripped the necklace that he gave me. 

King: Ster. 

Ster: Yes? 

King: I have no objections. The rest will be up to you. 

After saying that, the king got up from his seat. 

King: You may be excused. 

When Ster-san silently bowed to the king, he reached for my hand. 

......

While riding a shooting star for a while, it became just the two of us in the silent night sky. While the starry night journey was beatuiful as usual, I can tell that there were only stars in Ster-san's eyes that couldn't be seen. 

Ster: MC. 

When he said my name, I became surprised and slightly jumped up. 

Ster: ...Were you surprised? 

MC: A little... 

After he chuckled with a smile, Ster-san held me by the waist... 

Ster: ...It's not like I wanted a response from you or anything. It was something that I wanted to be certain of for a long time. Then, I found it... These feelings. 

MC: Ster-san...? 

Ster: I love you. 

MC: ...

Just as I heard his voice in my ears, he strongly hugged me...

Ster: Now that's been decided. I'm going to devote my life to you and the kingdom. Right now, this stardust clock... Just like it's strength that's shining. I'll be thinking of you till the end of my life. 

After saying that, he softly kissed my cheek. 

MC: ...

As a sweet numbness was spreading within my body, it felt like my breathing was about to stop. 

Ster: MC... 

Ster-san looked at me very affectionately. As thousands of stars were shining brightly up above in the night... It looked like stars were being imprisoned in his eyes that I wanted to melt away in...
