Will - Prince of Kenal - Sun End

Chapter 6 - Night Approaching

After observing the studio with Will-san... When we went outside, the sky was filled with bright stars. 

MC: It's already this hour. 

Will: We were having so much fun that we forgot about the time. 

MC: Yes. It was a little scary, but I was happy that I got to see so many things. 

Will: Me too, I don't want to forget that face that became strained from fear and the smile that you're showing right now. 

As he chuckled with a smile, he held my hand that wasn't injured. 

Will: It's been so long since I've felt so relaxed. 

MC: Have you always been busy? 

Will: Yeah, for about two years, I guess I got too immersed in movie making. 

MC: That long!? 

As we were heading to the hotel that I was staying at, we passed by a large theater. It seems like a large group of staff members were setting up something. 

Will: Come to think of it, my new movie will be playing here tomorrow. I need to finish that movie tonight... Kuku. 

After saying that, Will-san suddenly smiled. 

Will: Sorry, sorry, I was just remembering your face from when you got scared... 

MC: ...Geez.

Although, I just naturally accepted those words of his for now. 

Will: Look forward to tomorrow, okay? 

MC: ...Okay!

Then, we arrived at the front of the hotel. 

Will: Goodnight, MC. 

After seeing me off, Will-san softly whispered that to me... He waved his hand until I disappeared inside the hotel... 

Chapter 7 - Red Carpet

The next day... Will-san came to the hotel that I was staying at again. Since it seems like he has a waiting room that faces the theater in this hotel, he was passing the time here until the private showing starts. 

MC: How much time do you have? 

Will: Still a while until it starts. Look, you can see the venue from the window. 

When he pulled my hand towards the window, I looked outside and... 

MC: ...!

As the theater was right below the window, I saw a large crowd of people packed together near the red carpet. 

MC: Amazing, there are so many people... Even cameras. 

Will: How nice... This'll make it a tolerable news topic. Well, it'll be flashier on opening day though. 

At that moment, there was a knock on the door and the makeup staff member entered the room. 

Makeup Staff: Director, are you ready? You need to get ready soon. 

Will: Eh, there's really no need to put makeup on the director. 

Staff: We can't allow that, you're going to be giving out a speech after all... The hair stylist is already waiting in another room. 

Will: Then, order that particular zombie mask from before... 

Staff: Director!

Will: I get it, guess it can't be helped. 

With a bored expression, Will-san was taken away as the staff member pulled him. 

MC: It's nice that it's popular, good luck at the speech. 

Will: Yeah. Ah, also... 

MC: ...? 

When he looked like he suddenly remembered something, Will-san took out his notepad from his pocket. 

Will: That's right, I forgot to tell you, won't you spend a little of your time with me once this is over? ...There's something that I want to tell you!

MC: Okay, I'm fine with that. 

(What is it so suddenly...?) 

Makeup Staff: Director, hurry!

Will: Yeah, yeah. 

After being called out to hurry, Will-san left the room. 

......

After a while since then, fireworks were making noise in the blue sky. 

MC: ... 

(It's starting!) 

When I bent forward from the window, I looked at the theater. Then, remarkably loud cheers were made when Will-san appeared. Will-san walked forward majestically on top of the red carpet. 

Spectator 1: Kyaaaah----!

Spectator 2: I've been looking forward to it being completed for so long!

I could hear the high-pitched voices of the fans that were squeezed in together from here. As flashes were being made tremendously fast, I continued watching as it was making me dizzy. 

Will: ... 

While walking, he waved his hand and smiled beautifully. 

(To be surrounded by such a large crowd like that...) 

Just now, I realized that countless people have been waiting eagerly for Will-san's movie. The up-and-coming Director Will Beaton that has charmed the world... 

(I never knew at all...) 

Although, as I was watching him from a different spot like this, my heart ached a little as I was thinking like a person from a distant place... 

Last Chapter - A New Fascination

As I watched Will-san being surrounded by a large crowd... When I felt a little lonely and backed away from the window, I laid down on the bed. 

......

(...Huh? I...) 

After a while, I've realized that I fell asleep for a bit. When I looked at a corner in the room, the clock hand had moved about an hour later. At that moment, there was a knock on the hotel door. 

Will: Okay, work is over! MC, let's go!

MC: Eh, Will-san!? 

He appeared right in front of me as he opened the door wide energetically... 

MC: Ah, please wait, go where? 

Will: I'm hungry, so let's go to a café!

MC: Eh...? 

Just as he grabbed my arm happily, he energetically took me out of the room. 

......

After leaving the hotel, Will-san walked forward without taking a glance at the theater. 

MC: Aren't you going to see the private showing? 

Will: That's only for the people that helped me with the movie and CMs and I've already seen the whole thing. Or maybe, do you want to see it? It's very scary though... 

MC: ...Uh... 

Will: Ahaha! Your reactions are so honest, I just can't get enough of them! But... 

Will-san's arm that's been pulling me this whole time suddenly held my shoulder. 

Will: You can see my movies any time, so how about we go do what I want to do now? 

MC: ...Okay. 

In the end, I went with Will-san's pace and went to a café. 

Once we've entered the café and were led to a table, Will-san started spreading out many documents there. 

MC: What are these? 

Will: What, you say, they're film documents. 

Arranged on top of the table were... All the notepads that he has carried everywhere. What they contained were many written notes and carious sketches drawn in altogether... 

MC: T-This is! 

Will-san grinned from my reaction. 

Will: That's right. They're all about you. From when you arrived to Kenal till now... I was watching your various expressions in various situations. 

Will-san chuckled with a smile. 

Will: You... Your reactions are the most honest out of anything else. I've already filled up four thick notepads about you. 

MC: T-That's... 

Will: It's strange. While I was hanging out with you, I ended up with overly detailed notes before I knew it. 

MC: Eh... 

When I tilted my head to the side from his words... 

Will: Actually, it gave me ideas for my next movie. 

MC: Next movie...? 

Will That's right! Next movie. I want to film you next. 

MC: Eh... Me!? 

When Will-san nodded, he looked at me as if he was looking through a camera filter. 

Will: Yes, this'll really make a nice movie. 

MC: But, I think horror is a little... 

Will: Yes, you're a little too healthy. For my way of working so far. 

MC: Then, why? 

Will: Why, you say... Because I want to film you? 

Will-san looked at me through the gap of his fingers. He had the serious gaze of a director that was creating a movie... 

(Is he serious?)

MC: But, I don't even have any action experience... 

As I shrugged my shoulders in embarrassment, he laughed to reassure me. 

Will: That's why I'm thinking of making a movie that'll suit you. A new movie, you, who hasn't been filmed, the one that I haven't filmed. That pureness of yours... With my hands, I'll be using it to scare people. 

MC: T-Then, it really is horror... 

Will: Like I said, I'm going to change the style to match it with you. But... I really am the horror director, Will Beaton after all. 

Will-san broke into a suspicious grin. 

Will: Yes, aside from all the other movies that I've shot so far, this'll surely make a good movie. That's right, we should choose the stage, I'm okay with going around the world searching for a place that'll suit you. In order to write the script, I need to know more about you... Also, let's see... 

As Will-san was getting excited completely, he started making some plans without hearing me out. 

MC: But...

(Can I do it...?)

As my mouth was closed, I hung my head down to avoid his gaze... Then, he raised his face with his fingers as he smiled. Within the unique atmosphere that he created, an unknown feeling of both nervousness and excitement was spreading within my heart. 

Will: It'll be okay. I'll be directing, so there's nothing to worry about... So, tell me more about yourself... From now on, we'll be together around the clock... Okay? 

When he said that invitingly with a tone that sounded more affectionate than usual... The inside of my chest became noisy.

(Is it okay to see this as a challenge...?) 

I couldn't tell if it was because of his talented magic that made me start thinking like that so naturally...
