Theodor - Prince of Recordo - Sun End

Chapter 5 - The Placed Wine

When Theodor-san started to suddenly become nervous as time was awkwardly passing by... 

Theodor: ...I'm... not that good at talking with women... and it makes me nervous. 

MC: ...? 

Theodor: I would get careless and get carried away in talking about what they seemed interested in... ...I haven't... done something that rude not once or twice. 

As his voice became even softer, the look in his eyes darkened. 

(I see... So that's why he was so nervous.) 

Theodor: From the beginning, even though I forgot about the time while being with you... I ended up remembering. 

MC: Um, Theodor-san. Please talk to me like you normally do. Also... It makes me happy to hear about your interests. 

Theodor: My interests? ...I'll end up talking too much again. 

(But, that's what makes me happy...) 

When I walked up to Theodor-san, I looked at his face... 

Theodor: !

Theodor-san's body shook in surprise. 

MC: I-I'm sorry. 

Theodor: No, my apologies... But... 

After his troubled gaze wandered around, his eyes suddenly stopped moving. 

MC: ...? 

I looked towards to what Theodor-san was looking at. Over there was a single wine bottle with an elaborate grape label that was placed there... 

Last Chapter - Wine as the Night Grows Late...

When Theodor-san picked up the wine bottle that was in the room, his feeble eyes brightened up and eased up a little as he turned towards me. 

Theodor: This wine... I ordered this because I heard that it tastes best during this time of year. 

MC: Okay...? 

When he suddenly talked about the wine, I responded as I was a little confused. 

Theodor: Will you... listen to me talk as we drink this? 

As he made an embarrassed look, I understood what Theodor-san was thinking. 

(If he drinks wine... He'll be slightly less nervous.) 

MC: Yes, of course. 

When I responded with a smile, Theodor-san immediately prepared some wine glasses and some cheese to go with it. 

Theodor: I thought that this glass would suit you. 

The glass that he presented to me had a delicately and beautifully laced handiwork on it. 

MC: What a pretty design... 

When I said that absentmindedly, Theodor-san narrowed his eyes satisfied. 

Theodor: I thought that you would understand. This is actually a rare high-quality item that even the royal family of Gloria* adores... I-I shouldn't! I was about to talk too much again... 

T/N: Frites' kingdom

When Theodor-san handed me the wine glass, he poured the ruby-colored liquid in it as a mellow scent was emitting. 

Theodor: Here you go... 

MC: Thank you. I'll help myself. 

Then, the two of us started our evening drink. 

......

By the time we were on our second glass that had some wind in it, Theodor-san seemed to have gotten pretty eased up. 

Theodor: If you're interested in wine glasses, I have collected a variety of them. 

When I moved my gaze towards the corner of the room that Theodor-san was looking at while talking, there were beautiful wine glasses of various designs that were neatly arranged. 

Theodor: I've taken an interest in them, so I've kept on collecting them. I thought they always wanted to be loved...

MC: ...I understand. They're so beautiful... I could look at them forever... 

I swirled around the red liquid in the glass. Each time I did that, I enjoyed the various expressions that were being shown in the red wine in the worn-down glass. 

(The reflection is very pretty.) 

Theodor: I enjoy doing that too when I'm drinking by myself. 

MC: I like the way you think because it's beautiful. So...

Theodor: So... You want to hear me talk more? 

MC: ...Yes. 

When I responded, his teary heated eyes brightened up. 

(The corner of his eyes has become slightly red... It's a little heart racing.) 

Then, when Theodor-san broke into a smile... 

Theodor: Actually, I'm particular about alcohol. Like with this wine... 

While speaking smoothly, he became talkative as he talked about alcohol, the avatar and the tablet device. As I listened to him, I had one glass of the sweet-flavored wine after another... 

(Could it be because of the wine...? I'm feeling very comfortable... and lightheaded...) 

Theodor: Have you gotten drunk as well? 

MC: Yes... It's a... nice feeling.

Theodor: I'm... feeling the same way. I want to spend some more time with you... 

When Theodor-san reached out to me, he held my hand politely. The sensation of those fingers made me flinch for just a moment, but I went along with it and entrusted my hand to him. 

(Where he's touching me, it became warm...) 

Theodor-san's face slowly approached my hand. Then, he gently placed his soft lips on the top of my hand. 

MC: ...!? 

(Did he kiss me just now...?) 

As my heart was pounding loudly to the max, the inside of my head became blank. 

Theodor: I'm a perfectionist. 

MC: Eh...? 

Theodor: Even in kissing, they each have different kinds of meanings depending on the place. For example... 

His deep whisper that had the scent of wine mixed in with it made my heart throb sweetly. 

(I can't catch Theodor-san's words..) 

I felt myself becoming absorbed to Theodor-san's eyes as my gaze was sweetly entwined with them... 

Theodor: MC... So, can I do it again... On the lips this time...? 

As it felt like I've been sewed into place, I waited for the soft, warm sensation that was slowly getting closer...
