Chapter 6 - The Prince's Anger
When Tiga-kun grabbed Luca, he raised his fist.
MC: Tiga-kun!!
When I jumped in front of them, Tiga-kun widened his eyes.
Tiga: Since when were you there...!
Tiga-kun lowered his fist after seeing me. Without hiding his true feelings, Luca made a bold smile.
Luca: Don't you feel the same way? She's the Traumerei Princess after all.
Tiga-kun laughed scornfully towards Luca's words.
Tiga: Don't group me in with you. You don't even know about her good points.
Luca: Good points?
Luca did the same and sneered at Tiga-kun's words.
Tiga: Here, you left this.
When Tiga-kun returned the clothes that Luca pushed onto me, he strongly held my hand.
Tiga: MC, we're heading back to the castle.
MC: O-Okay.
(Tiga-kun...)
As Tiga-kun held my hand, the depressing feelings strangely went away. While feeling the warmth of that hand, we headed back to the castle...
Chapter 7 - His Kindness...

Tiga: Don't group me in with you. You don't even know about her good points.

The next day...
Due to the unaccustomed life these past few days, I've gotten so tired that I was unable to get out of bed.
(Maybe I should get some fresh air for a bit.)
Drawn towards the sunlight that was shining in from the window, I dragged my heavy body to go outside.
The outside air was so refreshing that it was spreading throughout my entire body.
(Going outside has made me feel a little better...)
Just as I stretched my body out that has become a little lighter...
Tiga: MC, you're finally up.
MC: ...Yes.
While pulling the horse, Tiga-kun looked at me.
MC: Tiga-kun, are you working?
Tiga: Yeah. I'm going to inspect the town. If you'd like, you can-
MC: I can...?
Tiga: No... You know what, never mind.
As Tiga-kun stared at me, he started pulling the horse forward after a short pause.
Tiga: You don't look so good, so rest.
(Even though he's usually more forceful.)
As I thought that it was a little strange, I sat down on a nearby bench.
......
After a while since I sat on the bench, the sky was starting to turn red.
(How pretty...)
Watching that evening glow suddenly made me recall what Luca said yesterday.
-Flashback-
Luca: After all, isn't MC-chan the Traumerei Princess? Well, there's nothing interesting about that girl. An unsophisticated girl like her isn't my type at all.
-Flashback-
(I...)
The moment the depressing feeling was rising, Tiga-kun passed by after returning from work.
MC: Tiga-ku-
Tiga: What are you doing, go rest in your room.
Without stopping, he walked past me.
(Tiga-kun? He's acting different than usual?)
As I watched Tiga-kun's back from afar, I closed my eyes tight.
(It's because Tiga-kun thinks of me as the Traumerei Princess too...)
Tiga-kun's behavior made the depressing feeling that took hold of me rise. While I had my head down, I stood still and...
Tiga: What are you spacing out for?
Along with that voice, my body suddenly rose up in the air.
MC: Eh!?
All of a sudden, Tiga-kun came back and was carrying me in his arms.
Tiga: Didn't I tell you to rest? You're staggering with a pale face.
He sounded like he was really worried about me... I felt ashamed of myself for thinking that he was paying attention to me because I was the Traumerei Princess earlier.
(Tiga-kun...)
When I softly placed my face against his chest, I felt his heartbeat.
Tiga: Hey... Are you really okay?
MC: Yes... I'm sorry.
As he held me in his strong arms, he took me back to my room.
Once Tiga-kun carefully laid me down on the bed, he gently poked my head.
Tiga: Geez. I'm doing my best to hold back, so what's the point in that?
(Eh...?)
Just as Tiga-kun became surprised, he looked down in embarrassment.
(He was thinking about me...)
Tiga: Anyway, you're not feeling well, so go rest. Once you get better, I'll take you to my favorite spot.
MC: Okay.
When Tiga-kun's hand touched my forehead, he gently combed up my hair.
Tiga: Then, take it easy and rest.
As I watched him leave the room from behind, the inside of my heart became warm...
Last Chapter - A Forceful and Gentle Kiss
The next day... When I woke up on the bed, feeling different than yesterday, I got up easily.
(Since I did a lot of resting, I feel much better.)
When I opened the window in the room and felt the clear outside air, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Tiga: How are you feeling?
MC: I'm okay now, thank you.
When Tiga-kun entered the room and approached me, he placed his hand on my head.
Tiga: Looks like you rested properly.
MC: Yes.
Tiga-kun's gentle expression made me break into a smile naturally.
(Tiga-kun's smile is making me happy.)
Tiga: Okay, let's go out.
MC: Go out?
Tiga: I told you that I'll be taking you to my favorite spot.
MC: Okay!
Tiga-kun took me to a flower field that was slightly further away from the castle. As there were various colorful flowers in bloom everywhere I look, I felt myself becoming relaxed.
(It smells really nice.)
When Tiga-kun caught me in his arms as I descended from the horse, we sat down on a bench together.
Tiga: I wanted to show this view to you.
(Tiga-kun...)
MC: Thank you, it's really nice.
As my eyes brightened up from the beauty of the flowers, I felt Tiga-kun's gaze.
MC: What's wrong?
Tiga: Forget about Luca.
MC: ...
-Flashback-
Luca: After all, isn't MC-chan the Traumerei Princess? Well, there's nothing interesting about that girl. An unsophisticated girl like her isn't my type at all.
-Flashback-
When I remembered those words, I felt pain in my heart...
Tiga: That was my fault. Luca wanted to get above me by using you. Sorry about that.
MC: ...That's.
Tiga: Also. I would've been fine with just getting to know you.
MC: ...Tiga-kun.
Tiga: Like at the river, I should've lent my jacket to you. Also, that guy saw you like that...
After he murmured that, he became silent and hung his head down.
(He took me here to cheer me up.)
MC: Tiga-kun, thank you.
Tiga: ...What's with that?
When Tiga-kun became angry out of embarrassment, I smiled without thinking. I thought that it was very adorable of him for always cheering me up...
Just as we returned to the castle, Tiga-kun escorted me to my room.
MC: Thank you for today.
Tiga: Take your time to rest. You've just gotten better after all.
MC: O-Okay.
Tiga: See ya.
(I want to be with him.)
The moment I thought of that, I grabbed Tiga-kun's hand.
Tiga: What's wrong?
MC: Ah, uh... I just want to be with you for a bit longer...
Tiga: ...
(What do I do, I can't look at Tiga-kun's face.)
The door closed with a bang. Although, Tiga-kun's hand was still in mine.
MC: Eh...
Tiga: What are you surprised for? You're the one that said you wanted to be together.
MC: Y-Yeah.
When Tiga-kun said that, I couldn't calm down somehow.
Tiga: Anyway, sit down.
MC: Okay.
With Tiga-kun rushing me, the two of us sat down on the edge of the bed.
(Even though I was the one who stopped him... I'm so embarrassed that I can't look at him.)
Tiga: ...Sorry.
MC: Eh!?
Tiga: For dragging you around to the point that it made you unwell.
Tiga-kun sounded somewhat depressed.
MC: ...You're wrong!
When I shouted that without thinking, Tiga-kun looked at me as he widened his eyes.
MC: I had so much fun being with you, Tiga-kun. When Luca's words hurt me, you cheered me up... So, don't think that you were dragging me around! So, don't think that way...
Tiga: You...
Before I could finish saying everything, Tiga-kun wrapped his arms around my body. Having his strong arms around me made my heart skip a beat.
Tiga: Why are you so cute!
MC: ...!
His words instantly made my cheeks hot.
MC: Tiga-kun...
When he placed his forehead against mine, his beautiful red hair touched my cheek.
Tiga: Close your eyes.
As Tiga-kun's hand touched my lips, I silently closed my eyes. At that moment...
MC: ...!
I felt Tiga-kun's breath against my ear.
Tiga: Did you think that I was going to kiss you?
Tiga-kun showed a mischievous smile.
MC: N-Not really...!
Tiga: ...Even though your face was showing that you were expecting me to?
MC: I-I'm saying that's not true...!
As my face was burning hot, I desperately tried to deny it, but...
Tiga: Just be quiet for a bit...
Tiga-kun immediately stopped my words with his lips.
MC: Mm...
(Tiga...-kun.)
My heartbeat was going so fast to the point that it hurts. When he slowly removed his lips, he hugged me gently next.
Tiga: I'll take care of you. So... Stay by my side.
After saying that, he snatched my lips away again.
MC: Mm...
His beautiful red hair lightly touched my cheek and body. As I felt Tiga-kun's comforting warmth, I accepted his feelings with my entire body...
