Tormali - Prince of Malineglace - Sun End

Chapter 6 - Look at Me...

The beauty of Tormali's gentle expression washed away all the hesitation in me. 

(Somehow, it feels like I'm always being saved by Tormali.) 

At that moment, Tormali placed his hand on my cheek. 

Tormali: ...Being called cute by you made me really happy. 

I felt that Tormali's gaze looked different than usual. 

Tormali: ...I don't want just that. 

MC: Eh? 

Tormali: I'm a boy. 

My cheeks felt the warmth in Tormali's hand. 

(Tormali is a boy...) 

The moment I thought of that, I felt my entire body becoming warm. 

Tormali: Now then, let's head to the castle. 

MC: O-Okay. 

When Tormali removed his hand from my cheek, he quickly got up. The warmth from Tormali's hand was still remaining on my cheek... 

Chapter 7 - A Boy Above Anything Else...

-Flashback-

Tormali: I'm a boy.

-Flashback-

After that... 

As Tormali and I were on our way to the castle... I gradually felt pain in my feet. 

MC: ...!

Before I knew it, my feet stopped. 

(Ah...) 

Since we did a lot of walking, I've gotten a blister. 

Tormali: What's wrong? 

As Tormali was walking beside me, he looked at me. 

MC: I'm sorry, it's nothing. Let's go. 

(I don't want to burden Tormali.) 

Enduring the pain, I was about to start walking and...

Tormali: ...Hold onto me. 

MC: Eh? 

Tormali: There! We go. 

MC: ...! W-Wait, Tormali!

When Tormali suddenly picked me up in his arms, he stared going down the path to the castle. 

MC: I-I'm really okay!

(How did he know that my feet were hurting right away?) 

Tormali smiled gently at me. 

Tormali: Those kinds of shoes would hurt because of the heels. 

(I see... Since it's Tormali, he would know.) 

MC: Thank you...

After I said that, Tormali narrowed his eyes as he gently smiled. I quietly looked at that face from within his arms... 

With Tormali carrying me, we arrived at the castle. The castle servants became surprised by Tormali's return and ran up to him happily. 

Servant: Tormali-sama... You're all right!

When Tormali sets me down, he wrapped his hand around my waist to support me. 

(I wonder why, my heart is racing from Tormali touching me...) 

Tormali: MC saved me. 

Butler: We have no words to express our gratitude... 

Tormali: ... 

After Tormali was pondering about something, he spoke up cheerfully. 

Tormali: Hey! I want to hold a party to expression our gratitude for MC!

MC: Eh? A party? 

Butler: That's a good idea. Shall we hurry and make preparations for tonight? 

Tormali: Yeah! I'll leave it to you!

MC: I'm fine, Tormali. A party is a little. 

Tormali: Why? I'm sure that it'll be really fun! Having a party with you would make me really happy. 

(I'm happy too, but... I don't have a dress...) 

Suddenly, Tormali looked at my face. 

Tormali: Don't worry. I'll choose a cute dress for you♪

MC: Eh? H-How did you know what I was thinking? 

As Tormali made a mischievous smile, he pulled my hand and ran. 

(It feels like Tormali can see through my entire thoughts.) 

When we arrived at a room, Tormali started choosing a dress for me. 

Tormali: I think a dress with a bright color would look good on you. 

With accessories that'll go along with the dress and even makeup... Tormali dressed me up with his skillful hands. When I didn't look like myself in the mirror, I somehow got a ticklish feeling. 

(...What a nice dress.) 

MC: Thank you, Tormali. 

When I turned around, Tormali was looking at the dressed up me with a grin. 

MC: What's wrong? 

Tormali: Here you go. 

Tormali presented some cute low heel shoes that were the right size for me. 

Tormali: If you wear these, you won't get hurt. 

(Tormali...) 

MC: Thank you!

When I thanked Tormali for the shoes that he gave me, he stared at me. 

Tormali: This dress really does look better on you than me. 

Tormali's gaze started making my heart throb. 

(Huh, I...?) 

MC: T-That's not true...

Feeling embarrassed, I ended up turning around and at that moment... 

MC: ...!

When I stepped on the hem of the dress, I was about to fall. 

Tormali: Look out!

Tormali held me up by holding me from behind. 

MC: ...! T-Thank you... 

Tormali: That was a close one, MC. 

Tormali smiled as he slowly released me from his arms. 

(Even though he looks good in any kind of dress, Tormali really is a boy.) 

When I looked at Tormali's slender, graceful and strong arms, the inside of my heart slightly throbbed... 

Last Chapter - The Meaning Behind the Kiss

In the gorgeously decorated hall, the welcoming party for me started. 

(Such an amazing party... I need to go thank Tormali.) 

In the hall, elegant music started playing. 

Tormali: MC. 

MC: Tormali! This is really nice, thank-

Tormali: ...

Tormali looked at me with an unusual serious expression. Then... 

Tormali: MC.

Tormali said my name as he kneeled. 

Tormali: Won't you please dance with me? 

(...) 

Tormali elegantly held his hand out to me. As I was drawn towards that gesture and straightforward gaze, I took that hand. 

MC: ...Yes, of course. 

As the elegant dress fluttered, Tormali gently took the lead since I wasn't used to this. 

Tormali: It's okay. Just entrust yourself to me. 

I could feel the warmth of Tormali's hand that was placed on my waist through the dress. 

(I wonder why... I can't look at Tormali's face at all.) 

As Tormali and I were dancing, we became surrounded by applause by everyone in the hall... 

During the peaceful mood, once the party had ended, a maid led me to a room. 

Maid: That was a really wonderful dance. 

MC: It was thanks to Tormali leading me. 

Maid: That was the first time I've seen His Highness look so masculine. 

MC: Eh? 

Once the maid finished explaining the room to me, she went back to her duties. 

(Masculine...) 

-Flashback-

Tormali: Won't you please dance with me? 

-Flashback-

(Remembering that makes me a little embarrassed.) 

MC: ...

(I wonder what Tormali is doing right now.) 

When I looked at the night sky from the room window, the beautiful stars were shining. That brightness made me remember Tormali's face from that time... 

(What should I do?) 

I felt my cheeks becoming warm.

......

The next day... As I was looking at the vast blue sky, Tormali came to my room. 

(Tormali...!) 

Tormali: Did you sleep well last night? 

MC: Y-Yes. Thank you. 

(What should I do, I can't speak well somehow.) 

Tormali: Since the weather is nice, let's go have some tea in the courtyard♪

MC: ...O-Okay. 

Tempted by Tormali's innocent smile, I left the room. 

In the beautiful courtyard that had been tended so thoroughly, a tea set was already there. 

Tormali: Here you go, MC. 

Tormali led me to a seat as he pulled out a chair. 

Tormali: You looked really good in that dress yesterday.

MC: Thank you. You were really cute too, Tormali. 

(...Cute?) 

-Flashback-

Tormali: Won't you please dance with me? 

-Flashback-

When I remembered Tormali's actions, my face became warm, but... 

Tormali: Hearing you say that makes me happy. 

Tormali's cheerful smile and the delicious tea instantly puts my nervousness at ease... 

Tormali: ...Won't you keep that a secret? 

Tormali looked at me with a serious expression. 

MC: That?

Tormali: My reason for dressing up like this... You're the first person that I've ever talked about it with. 

-Flashback-

Tormali: Since I'm the eldest, I'm going to become the next king. But, Almali is more suitable to become king. That's why I dress the way I like and live freely. 

-Flashback-

(...Tormali.) 

MC: Of course, I won't tell anyone. 

Tormali: Thank you... MC. 

MC: Since it's that important, it makes me happy that you told-... Eh? 

Tormali's lips gently touched my cheek. As the soft sensation that remained on my cheek made me unable to speak... 

Tormali: It's not... just a thank you kiss. 

When Tormali backed away, he looked straight at me in the eye. 

MC: ...!? 

Tormali: I love you, MC. 

Tormali's clear voice made my heart skip a beat... 

MC: I... love you too.

(Tormali is really cute... and really cool.) 

Even though there was a lot that I wanted to say to him, I couldn't bring out the words well. When I hung my head down in embarrassment, Tormali looked at my face. I was being reflected in those eyes gently. 

(...Don't look at me with such a gentle smile like that.) 

That smile made my heart noisy like it's never been before. 

Tormali: ...Such a cute face. 

Then, Tormali placed his hand on my cheek again. 

MC: ...

As it felt like he could see through my thoughts while I was heating up... Tormali looked at me with a mischievous smile...
