Chapter 6 - Dawn Light
Vairy-san's body became surrounded by a pale warm light. Then... When the light disappeared, Vairy-san's injuries were healed.
(What... happened?)
Vairy: This is... The curse... is lifted...?
MC: Eh...!
Vairy: I can't describe it well, but... I feel different from before. Within me, somehow... The dark haziness is gone... That's what I'm feeling.
(Thank goodness...)
MC: I'm so glad that you're all right, Vairy-san...
As I was crying in relief, I went down in place.
Vairy: MC... Haha. What a face you're making.
Unable to stand my tears falling, Vairy-san hugged me.
(I love Vairy-san...)
As my head was placed against his chest, he gently petted my head many times. When dawn suddenly arrived, the beautiful morning sunlight shined on us directly.
Chapter 7 - Warmed Up Heart
After some time has passed since Vairy-san's curse was lifted... The rumors of the cursed beast have died down soon after and the townspeople have been living peacefully.
Butler: I really have no words to express my gratitude to you, MC-sama...
In the guest room I was in, I was having dinner.
MC: There's no need... I didn't do much.
Butler: This is the first time that I've seen Vairy-sama make such a pleasant expression. Because of you, the curse is lifted.
MC: ...Um, why did the curse go away...?
Curious, I asked the butler that boldly.
Butler: True love... Your feelings towards Vairy-san are what lifted the curse.
The words that the butler said with no hesitation made my cheeks hot. At that time, I realized it, my feelings towards Vairy-san.
(Those feelings were true love...?)
Vairy: Hey! I'm back!
When I heard that voice, my heart skipped a beat. After going to town for an inspection, Vairy-san came in energetically.
Butler: Welcome back. I'll go prepare your dinner and a bath right away.
After the butler left, it was just the two of us.
Vairy: Do you have a fever? Your face is red.
Vairy-san asked me that so innocently.
MC: I-It's nothing!
(My heart is going so fast that I can't bring myself to look at Vairy-san...)
Vairy: Really? I can hear your heartbeat though.
MC: ...!
(Come to think of it, beastmen have really good hearing...)
MC: I'm sorry... Please excuse me!
Unable to bear my embarrassment, I ran out of the room.
Vairy: Ah, hey...
The moment my hand was on the doorknob, his large hand was placed on top of it.
MC: ...!
Vairy-san was standing right behind me.
Vairy: ...Wait.
He placed his other hand on the door, surrounding me.
(My back feels warm...)
As it felt like he was embracing me, I felt Vairy-san's warmth.
MC: U-Um...
Vairy: ...You, at that time.
(At that time...)
-Flashback-
MC: I... Vairy-san...
-Flashback-
MC: Ah, um... Won't you let me leave already!
Just as I told him that, I turned towards him and... When our eyes met as Vairy-san was looking at me worriedly, my cheeks became warm again.
Vairy: Do you really not have a fever? Your complexion is...
MC: ...!
Vairy-san placed his hand on my forehead.
MC: ...I-I'm fine! But, I'm sorry, I need to go rest for a bit.
To calm my loud heart down, I left from there.
Vairy watched MC run off from behind.
Vairy: ...I really should say it properly.
Feeling the warmth from touching MC's forehead earlier, Vairy murmured that as he was by himself.
Last Chapter - Confession
The next day, it was clear as the sun was up high... Vairy-san asked me out to go to the forest again. Despite being covered in the soft sunlight that was shining through the trees, I was unable to hide my loud heartbeat.
(I really do feel nervous when it's just the two of us...)
Vairy: What, you're making a weird face.
When Vairy-san said that, he flicked my forehead.
MC: ...! Geez... That hurts!
Vairy: Haha... It's nice that you're full of energy.
(What should I do... Looking at Vairy-san's smile is making my heart hurt...)
After walking for a while, we arrived at a spot where the sunlight from the sky was strongly shining on.
(This place is...)
Vairy: It's where the curse was broken. It was night at that time. You know... I still haven't said it properly.
Vairy-san turned towards me and spoke clearly.
Vairy: Thanks for lifting my curse.
As he was looking straight at me, my heartbeat became strong.
MC: I... I didn't do anything.
Vairy: True love is what lifted the curse...
MC: Vairy-san, so you did know about that...
Vairy: Yeah... But, I didn't really believe in that fairytale. But. There's one thing that I want to ask you. You know, about what you said at that time...
MC: ...!
-Flashback-
MC: I... Vairy-san...
-Flashback-
MC: U-Uh...
Vairy: ...I'm so pathetic. For making you say it.
When Vairy-san looked at me hesitantly, he smiled in embarrassment.
(Eh...?)
Vairy: Sorry, I need to say this properly.
After a short pause, he said those words clearly.
Vairy: I love you, MC.
MC: ...!
(Vairy-san, me...?)
Vairy: ...I gave up. I've decided to be alone once I've turned into my beast form. But... The moment when you called out to me in the light, I wanted to be with you.
MC: ...
Vairy: I wanted to do something to take care of you. Not being able to see you... makes me worried.
MC: Vairy-san...
(...I'm happy.)
Vairy: MC... What do you think of me?
(I...)
At that moment, I immediately recalled what I wanted to say to him. I've already decided on that answer.
I approached Vairy-san with my head down in embarrassment.
MC: ...I love you too, Vairy-san.
When a gentle breeze blew, the trees made swaying movements as if they were being tickled.
Vairy: ...That's a relief. I was really uneasy on what to do if I was wrong. I may be a pathetic guy, but... Are you all right with that?
MC: ...Yes.
Vairy-san looked at me and touched my cheek lovingly. Then... He slowly placed his lips over mine.
MC: ...Mm.
As our sweet breaths were leaking out, my cheeks became warm.
Vairy: ...You better not regret this.
Vairy-san traced my lips with his finger and smiled mischievously.
MC: Vairy-san...
Vairy: ...Stop it with the "-san"...
MC: Vairy...
We kissed repeatedly many times. As I was imprisoned in Vairy-san's arms, it didn't feel like he was going to let me go.
MC: ...Are these feelings, true love?
Vairy: Who knows? But... I don't want to let go of you again, MC.
(It's warm...)
As he gently petted my head, the warmth from Vairy-san's hand felt nice.
(...I love Vairy-san.)
When he protected me many times and embraced me in his strong warm arms, it made me forget about time passing by. As the forest shined more beautifully, it felt like it was giving us it's blessings...
