Theodor - Prince of Recordo - Moon End

Chapter 5 - What He's Searching For

The clock in the room chimed once to let us know what time it was. 

Theodor: ... 

When Theodor-san became silent in front of me, I felt small. 

(I want to say something, but... What should I do?)

MC: ... 

Theodor: You don't need to worry about me... No, you shouldn't. 

MC: No... Um, Theodor-san. Can't we talk normally like earlier? 

After I said that, Theodor-san held his bangs troubledly. 

Theodor: I didn't want you to make that sort of face, but...

As Theodor-san got up with a bit of a sad look, he began to walk aimlessly in the room. 

Theodor: My apologies... I get nervous whenever I talk to women. I get carried away with talking and I don't notice anything about their interests. It's an awful mistake that I do, so... 

(So, that's why... He didn't hate me at all.) 

That made me sigh in relief. 

Theodor: No... No matter what I do. The topics to talk about... The paintings from Fresian*? One of the movie genres in Kenal*... Horro. The deeply fascinating science and technology that is called magic in Oz*... I'll surely end up talking too much again... 

T/N: Medi's kingdom, Tell and Will's kingdom, Oswald, Tinpla, Leeya, Gauche, Droite, Leonie and Toto's kingdom

Theodor-san muttered that to himself as he walked around. 

MC: Um, Theodor-sa-

Theodor: Ah!? 

(...!?) 

When he suddenly noticed something, he quickly approached the ebony table in the corner. 

Theodor: This is... 

What he picked up was a wine bottle with an elaborate grape design on it. 

Theodor: ...Just so that I can calm down for a bit, would you like to drink some wine? 

Theodor-san gave me a bit of a glimpse while feeling embarrassed. Seeing him like that made me realize what he was thinking. 

(Drinking alcohol... He probably wants to ease his nervousness.) 

I smiled and nodded towards Theodor-san's offer... 

Last Chapter - A Night of Wine

Theodor: ...Just so that I can calm down for a bit, would you like to drink some wine? 

When he opened the wine bottle in the room, the two of us quickly did a toast. 

Theodor: Cheers. 

MC: Thank you. 

Then, the two of us began to drink. 

......

Theodor: A single wristwatch can instantly edit a photo and video. 

After drinking some wine, Theodor-san has become more talkative. His eyes were looking a little cloudy and shiny as he was turning red. 

(Theodor-san seems to be enjoying himself.) 

Just like the first time we've met, looking at Theodor-san's eyes shining brightly made me break into a smile. 

Theodor: Also, the wristwatch can manage your health. This is what the designer has thought of deeply... 

It has become late as Theodor-san continued talking and the wine bottle became completely empty. 

(Theodor-san sure drank a lot...) 

He drank the wine bottle dry. 

(My eyes... are getting heavy.) 

The small amount of alcohol was making me pretty drunk. Also, since it has already become so late, I was starting to get sleepy. Although, I wasn't the only one getting sleepy... 

Theodor: Also... If you pwess here... 

Theodor-san was finally speaking oddly. As I was trying to grasp my vision, I realized that I was looking the other way. 

(What should I do... At this rate.) 

I felt myself reaching my limit more... 

MC: I'm sorry, Theodor-san. I want to hear more of what you have to say... Right now... I'm already getting sleepy... 

Theodor: ...My apologies. Then, let's stop here... 

(I still... want to continue.) 

Although, I ended up losing consciousness... 

......

Even though I felt something bright against my eyelids I had a hard time opening my eyes due to the nice warm sensation of the bed against my cheek. 

MC: ...? 

My forehead bumped into something firm when I turned over in my sleep. 

(What is it...?) 

When I lightly opened my eyes at that moment... 

Theodor: Eeeehhh!!

(Eh!) 

Theodor-san's scream woke me up instantly and my consciousness became clear. What jumped into my field of vision was... 

Theodor-san being up close to me as his eyes were wide open from shock. 

MC: ...!? 

Aside from that... 

(I... I was sleeping in Theodor-san's arms!?) 

As we were close to each other, I was completely settled in his elegant arms. With his arms gently around my back, I felt comfortable. 

MC: Um... I'm sorry!

(I... What am I doing...!!) 

It's most likely that I fell asleep from being drunk yesterday. I backed away from Theodor-san in a panic, but his arms around me wouldn't let me. 

(Why...?) 

Theodor: Um... Can we... stay like this?) 

MC: Eh...? 

When his face slowly got closer, my heart was pounding loudly that it became suffocating as we were looking at each other. 

Theodor: ...I think... I know how we ended up like this... We ended up drinking too much... Geez... It would've been better if I wasn't affected by women. 

Contrary to what he said, he was holding me in his arms right now. 

MC: U-Um... 

Theodor: ...What should I do?

MC: Eh...

Theodor: Even though I'm highly aware that I'm a hopeless person, I feel comfortable... I can't let go of you. Spending time with you yesterday too... I have never felt that happy before. 

MC: Theodor-san... 

As I felt his warm hands around my back, I remembered his bright expression... From when he was doing his best to talk last night. 

(He's such... a clumsy person.) 

Theodor: My apologies, can we stay like this... for a bit? 

MC: ...

When I lightly nodded, Theodor-san gently held my shoulders. 

Theodor: Right now... I'm feeling really happy. 

As I slightly moved as well, I got closer to him. 

Theodor: So warm... 

After he softly whispered those warm words, I slowly closed my eyes as I deeply inhaled the faint scent of wine that remains...
