Chapter 6 - My Friend
As I watched Tormali's blonde hair shining beautifully in the sunlight... He suddenly looked at me softly.
Tormali: MC, thank you for defending me.
-Flashback-
MC: Apologize! Don't talk like that to Tormali...!
-Flashback-
My heart throbbed from his cute voice.
MC: No, me defending you.
Tormali: I was happy when you said that for me.
(Tormali...)
Tormali: Let's hurry and return to the castle! I want to introduce my new friend!
(Friend... That makes me happy!)
Tormali held my hand and looked at me with an innocent smile.
Tormali: I'm sure that everyone will accept you! Now, let's go!
As I watched Tormali pulling my hand happily, I smiled as well...
Chapter 7 - Tormali and I
Then, we arrived at the castle of Tormali's kingdom.
When we entered, everyone ran up to Tormali worriedly.
Butler: Tormali-sama, you're all right!
Tormali: MC saved me.
MC: It's nice to meet you.
Butler: You have our deepest gratitude. Please make yourself at home and relax in our kingdom.
MC: Thank you very much.
Tormali: Geez! Being so formal like that.
After Tormali said that, he held my hand and smiled.
Tormali: MC, let's go to my room♪
Tormali said that as he pulled my hand and headed towards his room.
Tormali: Welcome to my room!
In Tormali's room, there were extravagant dresses and a huge walk-in closet. When he stepped into the closet, he held up one of the dresses against me.
MC: This is...
Tormali: MC, try putting this on. I'm sure that it'll look good on you♪
It was a cute mini dress that's adorned with a lot of laces.
MC: This is for me?
Tormali: Yes! Hurry and put it on♪
When he said that to me again, I changed into the dress...
MC: W-What do you think?
After I put it on, Tormali looked at me as I hung my head down.
Tormali: It looks really good on y ou!
MC: I-I see.
Tormali: Right! How about you choose a dress for me?
MC: Are you sure?
Tormali: I'm okay with it since it's you.
When I walked into Tormali's closet, I tried to choose one that'll look good on him, but...
(I can't choose...)
Tormali: Hey, are you done?
MC: Y-Yeah.
Tormali: Hurry~
MC: Sorry. I'm sure that any of them will look good on you, they're all really captivating.
Tormali: Thank you, MC.
Since then, we had fun doing a fashion show with just the two of us for a while.
Tormali: Hey, I think these shoes would look really good with this dress.
MC: They're cute! In that case, how about we put this necklace on?
Tormali: Sure! It looks really nice!
Just as I was about to pick it up...
Tormali: Fufu...
Tormali suddenly giggled happily.
MC: W-What is it?
Tormali: We're pretty much in sync.
MC: ...Yes! We really are.
As the two of us smiled at each other, it felt like we were female friends hanging out.
(Now that Tormali mentions it, I wonder what he's thinking.)
When I thought of that, I looked at Tormali's bright smile...
Last Chapter - The Friendship Between the Two
The next day...
Tormali: The weather is nice, so let's have teatime in the courtyard♪
MC: Sure! That sounds like fun.
(But, instead of him entertaining me, I want to thank him somehow.)
MC: Tormali, do you like sweets?
Tormali: Yeah, I love them!
MC: Then, how about we make some cookies for teatime?
Tormali made a surprised look towards my proposition.
Tormali: MC, you can make cookies!?
When Tormali happily shouted that, I frantically waved my hands.
MC: They're not that hard to make.
Tormali: I've never made cookies before, but I want to try it!
Tormali cheerfully walked as he showed me the way to the kitchen.
When we arrived at the kitchen and explained our reason, the chef prepared the ingredients for us.
(Somehow, I feel a little guilty.)
Tormali: Hey, MC, hurry, hurry!
Tormali's eyes brightened up like a child's.
(Tormali seems happy, so I guess it's okay.)
As Tormali was smiling, I began to make the cookies.
Tormali: Somehow, I'm feeling really excited.
MC: Me too.
Since Tormali isn't used to it, he's doing his best to make the cookies.
Tormali: Look, look! It's a star!
MC: How cute! Maybe I should make a heart.
We made shapes with the cookie dough in our own way.
Tormali: We're making a lot! What kind of shape should I make next~
(Fufu... He seems to be enjoying himself.)
Tormali skillfully shaped the cookies into stars, music notes and animals one after another.
Tormali: ...Wah!
MC: Tormali!?
Tormali: Sorry, just as I was about to take the tray out, it was still hot...
MC: Are you okay? Are you hurt?
Tormali: I'm fine, thank you.
I looked at him worriedly.
Tormali: Sorry for surprising you.
When Tormali gave me a playful smile, I smiled back at him.
(Ah...)
MC: Tormali, look.
On the tray that Tormali took out, the cookies were baked into a beautiful golden brown with a sweet aroma drifting.
Tormali: Wow...
With the sweet scent of cookies around us, we smiled at each other again.
After that... Along with the finished cookies on a plate, we were enjoying our tea.
(...I wonder how the cookies are going to taste.)
When I looked at Tormali worriedly, he gave me a smile.
Tormali: Out of all the cookies that I've had up till now, yours are the most delicious! How strange! They're completely different from the ones that I usually eat at the castle!
MC: Fufu, the cookies that we made are pretty good.
(I'm really glad that I asked to do this.)
Suddenly, Tormali stopped and looked at the cookie in his hand.
Tormali: ...I want Almali to eat these too. He's not here because of work right now, but I want to introduce you to him someday.
(...Tormali.)
MC: Yes, thank you. Let's make them again next time.
At that moment...
Tormali held my hand and looked at me with his big eyes.
MC: Tormali...?
Tormali: MC, be my friend forever! Being with you is so much fun! I... I'm glad that I met you!
When Tormali made an unusually serious expression, I quickly straightened up.
Tormali: I've never had any friends that were like this, but... You accepted me! Thank you so much!
MC: Tormali... I have fun being with you too!
Then, we smiled at each other.
Tormali: Let's play some more after this! Shopping, a picnic... And even a sleepover!?
MC: Sure! ...Wait, eh!?
(A sleepover... Even though Tormali is a boy...!?)
While I was bewildered, Tormali made a mischievous smile.
(Since it's Tormali, I guess it's okay...)
When I thought of that, Tormali held my hand.
Tormali: Thank you! MC, I love you!
As we were holding hands, I thought about the fun times that we were going to have...
