Chapter 6 - What I Want to Protect
Suddenly, Tiga-kun grabbed Luca...
MC: Tiga-kun!!
I jumped in without thinking, but I was too late. Tiga-kun raised his fist and knocked out Luca.
MC: Tiga-kun!!
Tiga: MC, about what you heard just now...
MC: ...
After Tiga-kun made a troubled look, he turned towards Luca.
Tiga: Luca, do you understand what you just said?
Luca: ...Of course.
Luca looked at me for a while and admitted it clearly.
(Everything that he did up till now was just because I'm the Traumerei Princess.)
Tiga: ...Get up!
Tiga-kun grabbed Luca by the collar and raised his fist again.
(Tiga-kun...!)
I stood in front of Tiga-kun and spread out both of my hands to protect Luca.
MC: Tiga-kun, that's enough.
Tiga: Do you know what you're saying!?
MC: I do.
Luca: The Traumerei Princess is so nice~
When Luca said that amusingly, Tiga-kun became angry.
Tiga: MC, move!
MC: ...
As Tiga-kun's right fist was turning red more, that was when my heart felt the most pain...
Chapter 7 - True Feelings
I immediately spread out both of my hands to protect Luca, but Tiga-kun wouldn't put his fist down.
Tiga: You're protecting this guy!?
Tiga-kun shouted angrily at me. I stood firmly towards his angry look.
MC: That's not what I'm doing, just stop.
I looked at Tiga-kun's red swelled up fist. When he noticed my gaze, he quickly lowered his right hand and hit it behind his back.
(Tiga-kun...)
I turned towards Luca and returned his coat.
MC: Thank you for helping me.
Luca: ...What's with you?
Tiga: MC! Let's go.
MC: Okay.
As Tiga-kun and I returned to the castle together, we didn't speak to each other along the way.
(he's probably mad.)
When we returned to the castle without speaking to each other in the end, Tiga-kun went into his room.
(I wonder if his right hand is okay from the swelling...)
......
Wanting to see Tiga-kun, I knocked on the door to his room, but there was no response.
MC: Tiga-kun, please... open the door.
When the door quietly opened, Tiga-kun showed himself.
Tiga: What is it?
I saw that Tiga-kun was holding the back of his right hand.
(It really did swell up.)
Tiga: ...
Tiga-kun awkwardly evaded my gaze.
MC: Let me treat your hand.
When Tiga-kun and I sat down on top of the bed, I cooled off his injured right hand. As I was giving his hand some treatment, I remembered Luca's words.
-Flashback-
Luca: After all, isn't MC-chan the Traumerei Princess? Won't I have a good advantage if I got along with her? Once I get good benefits, there won't be a day where you can stand on top. Well, there's nothing interesting about that girl. An unsophisticated girl like her isn't my type at all.
-Flashback-
(I guess so... This whole time when he was spending time with me, he acted no differently from when we were at the castle and at the gorgeous party. That's what I think when I see Tiga-kun and Luca... Yet, Tiga-kun ended up getting hurt.)
I was unable to bear the feelings that were filling up my heart.
Tiga: Don't worry about it.
As I hung my head down, Tiga-kun said that bluntly.
MC: ...Eh?
Tiga: Don't worry about what Luca said. You didn't do anything bad.
(...Tiga-kun.)
MC: Okay... Thank you.
Tiga: Could it be that you like that guy?
MC: Eh!? Not at all.
Tiga: Then, what is it?
MC: ...Tiga-kun, I'm sorry that you ended up getting hurt.
Tiga: I just did that on my own. That's all. Luca wanted to get ahead of me by using you. He's such a bother.
MC: ...A bother.
Tiga-kun's smile was different than usual, his expression looked a bit pained and it was making me sadder. When I looked at the ground at that moment...
Tiga: ...Ah, geez!
When Tiga-kun became irritated, he grabbed my shoulders as I had my head down.
MC: T-Tiga-kun?
Tiga: Just say everything that's on your mind! I'll listen! So, don't make that kind of face.
(Tiga-kun...)
MC: Me too... I don't want you to make that kind of face.
As I was drawn towards his red eyes, I told him what was on my mind.
Tiga: MC...
Tiga-kun's cheeks became a little red as he said that.
MC: Also... ...Aside from being the Traumerei Princess, thinking that I'm not worth it made me sad. Look, before I came tot his world, I was just a normal girl that you can find anywhere else. When I saw you and Luca... I...
Tiga-kun widened his eyes after listening to me, but...
Tiga: What?
Then, he sighed deeply.
Tiga: That sort of thing...
Tiga-kun looked straight at me with a smile.
Tiga: Listen, just leave everything to me.
(...Tiga-kun?)
My heart throbbed by Tiga-kun's eyes that were filled with confidence...
Last Chapter - True Love
After that... Tiga-kun suddenly arranged another party.
-Flashback-
Tiga: Listen, just leave everything to me.
-Flashback-
(Was he talking about the party?)
As I was wearing the dress that was selected for me, I attended the party with Tiga-kun.
(Such a pretty dress...)
The dress that Tiga-kun chose for me was red with a cute ribbon around the waist.
Tiga: I know.
Tiga-kun got behind me and brought out a necklace that had a beautiful gem that was the same color as the dress.
MC: ...!
When his hand touched my nape, my heart throbbed greatly.
Tiga: This gem will give you confidence.
MC: Eh?
Tiga: Now, let's go!
After putting the necklace on me, Tiga-kun held my hand and escorted me.
Tiga: This is your seat.
MC: ...Eh!?
(This is...)
The spot that Tiga-kun led me to was onstage and he sat down in the seat next to me.
MC: Tiga-kun, this is...
Tiga: Listen, it's okay to be filled with confidence.
MC: B-But...
Tiga: First, let's dance.
MC: J-Just wait...
Without reasoning with me, Tiga-kun pulled my hand and took me to the center of the party hall.
(Dancing in the center like this.)
Tiga-kun and I became the center of the invitees' attention.
Tiga: Look, just leave everything to me.
MC: Leave everything to you, just what are you...
As more people were looking at us... Tiga-kun suddenly held me.
MC: ...!
As I was in Tiga-kun's arms, I noticed that it became noisy around us.
(Did something happen?)
Tiga: Alright, everyone, listen well! Don't just approach MC in order to use her.
MC: ...!
Tiga: Get that through your heads!
While I was in Tiga-kun's arms, my heartbeat became painfully fast...
When the party ended, I returned to my own room.
(Tiga-kun... I wonder if he wanted to encourage me because I was feeling down.)
When I looked at the necklace that Tiga-kun gave me...
Tiga: Let me in.
I opened the door when I heard Tiga-kun's voice. When I let him in, he placed his hand on my head.
Tiga: Now, those weird pests won't bother you anymore.
(Tiga-kun...)
MC: Thank you for encouraging me. All for my sake...
Tiga: You...
Then, Tiga-kun's gentle smile from before disappeared.
(Is something wrong?)
Tiga: You don't get it at all.
MC: ...Eh?
Tiga: Don't just say that it's for your sake.
His red eyes were shaking somewhat passionately.
MC: Tiga... -kun...?
Tiga: I don't know, so tell me.
After Tiga-kun said that, he suddenly cornered me to a wall.
MC: Ah...
Tiga: Why do you think I went through all the trouble into doing that?
His fingers gently touched my cheek.
Tiga: It's because I love you.
MC: ...
The inside of my head became blank as if time had stopped.
Tiga: I didn't get myself involved with you just because you're the Traumerei Princess. Don't you believe me?
His eyes were really beautiful as they were looking straight at me...
MC: That's...
I shook my head greatly.
Tiga: I love you... Not just as the Traumerei Princess, but as MC.
MC: Tiga-kun...
My heart throbbed loudly. Then, when his face got closer...
MC: Mm...
He placed his lips over mine forcefully... I couldn't think of anything as I felt his passion from his warm lips.
(Tiga-kun...)
Then, when his lips slowly parted from mine, I tried to catch my breath.
Tiga: Just believe me.
I listened to his voice as my head was in a daze.
MC: Okay...!
When Tiga-kun looked at me, he smiled with a calm expression that I haven't seen him make before. That expression surprisingly cheered me up...
MC: Me too...
I gave him the only answer that was in my heart.
MC: I love you too, Tiga-kun... Thank you.
Happy about his feelings, I returned a smile that was overflowing with confidence.
Tiga: Dummy. I know that.
Tiga-kun made a satisfied look. As the warm sunlight gently shined on Tiga-kun through the window, I felt that warmth...
