Chapter 6 - Seeing the Sun in the Dream
When a slightly dusk-colored light dispersed, it became engulfed by the indigo-colored sky...
Yzak: Kukuku... Hahaha... I see... I get it now...
I became speechless when he laughed a little. As Yzak was breaking down into laughter, he sat down on the dry ground.
MC: Yzak...
Yzak: I see... It's that day. We're seeing a dream of the day that I wanted to go back to. That day, when Adam's condition had gotten better.
-Flashback-
Adam: It's probably thanks to the dreams that Fllayg-nii-san bestowed to me. My body feels really healthy.
-Flashback-
Yzak: The reason why Bro went on the Moon Road was to get dreams for Adam.
As Yzak was talking about what he remembered, he looked like he was enduring the pain.
Yzak: When I saw Adam getting better, I thought that my family had finally obtained a peaceful life.
What he was looking ahead without blinking was the smile on Adam's pale face. Compared to Ivan's happy and pleased expression, he was forcing himself to smile.
Yzak: Don't make such a sad look...
MC: Okay...
Yzak: Since that time when Adam said he wanted to die, I've been thinking. I didn't notice anything.
When he made a pained expression, I softly touched his shoulder. As Yzak's lips tightened, it became hard to watch him trembling...
Chapter 7 - Feeling Helpless
In the dark colored night, Yzak's shouts echoed sadly...
Yzak: A dream like this needs to disappear! Hurry and disappear!
MC: Yzak...
As Yzak swung his arms around violently, I couldn't bring myself to do anything.
Yzak: Disappear!!
MC: ...!
As a response towards Yzak's feelings, the scenery around us got torn apart and crumbled down.
When the remaining last fragment of the scenery disappeared, the blunt sound of something breaking was heard. Yzak trampled on the light in irritation and turned it into dust.
Yzak: How long have I been an idiot!? I don't want to see such a carefree dream while my brother is in danger!
After cursing at himself, Yzak suddenly started to hit his own head.
MC: !
Yzak: Wake up! Hurry and wake up! Any more of this, I'll be put into a pitiable state!
I couldn't bear to watch as he was hurting himself many times...
MC: Stop...!
I grabbed Yzak's arm with all my strength.
Yzak: Let go!
MC: You're not pitiable at all! You think about your brothers more than anyone...!
Yzak: I don't need you consoling me!
The moment he shouted that...
MC: !
Underneath my feet, there was a violent tremor and it made me fall over.
Yzak: H-Hey!
When I grabbed Yzak's hand that was reaching out to me, the ray of light that brought us here flashed before us.
MC: ...
After we got engulfed by the light, the darkness turned white...
......
Before I knew it, we were lying down in a flower field.
(Is this place part of Yzak's dream too?)
As flower petals were being whirled up, they were covered in the pale light of the moonlit night.
Yzak: Why... Enough already.
(Yzak...)
MC: Don't torture yourself anymore...
Yzak: I couldn't do anything at all! I couldn't stop Bro! I couldn't save Adam!
When he shouted the anger filled regrets towards himself, it made me feel pain.
Yzak: I didn't know... Ru thinking about our family like that. What Adam was really thinking. Even Ivan and Cyril! They changed when they went to you. There was nothing I could do...
MC: You're wrong, Yzak! That was just the beginning. Everyone was hesitant in moving forward... Your brothers were thinking that just like you!
Yzak: I just wanted to make them smile for real like you did...!
MC: ...!
Who knows how long Yzak has been in pain until now... Even though he cared, he was suffocating.
(Everything that we've talked about up till now was all about his family. He cherishes his family because he loves them that much...)
Yzak: I don't have the strength...!
In the sky, a familiar light went up.
Then, in the dark sky that swallowed up the stars, the dusk-colored light made the Moon Road shine...
Last Chapter - The Person I Want to Protect
The dusk-colored warped Moon Road looked sad as it swayed in the sky. When I thought of that, I wondered if Yzak's sadness summoned it just now...
(For his brothers, he wanted to become strong, but...)
MC: Despite that you guys are family, you can't know everything. Get too close and you won't be able to hear some things.
(Just like with my brothers*...)
T/N: Hope and Light
MC: But, you're a proper big brother, Yzak.
When he slowly looked at me, there was a pained look in his eyes.
(This kind of thinking might be too forward. Even so, I don't want Yzak to be sad. I want to protect him...)
As we proceeded into the empty space together, I strongly thought of wanting to make Yzak smile since I know his true self.
MC: Always thinking about your brothers, making food for them... Also, that garden was filled with your thoughts of them.
When I held his lifeless hand with both of mine, I tightly squeezed it. As it seemed like he was searching for warmth, my heart slightly throbbed.
MC: No matter what kind of brother you think you are, you got through to me completely.
(The time when I was facing that sudden warmth, it was a little troubling... and really comforting.)
MC: You need to get those feelings through Rufus and the others. I'm sure that your love will...
As I wanted to reach out to him and hold his fingers, I heard him laugh a little.
Yzak: Love, such a shitty sweet word...
MC: Even so...
Yzak: Princess, do you think that I can get my family back again?
His eyes were trembling clingingly as he was waiting for my words.
(I want to make his wish come true... I want that happy smile to come back.)
Yzak: Bring them back...!
MC: ...!
When he shouted that and hung his head down, I hugged his large body...
Within my arms, Yzak's body twitched from shock. Even so, I didn't want to let go of him and held him tightly.
Yzak: What... are you doing...
His diminished sounding voice softly tormented me.
MC: You can do it, Yzak. Aren't we seeing this dream because you're thinking of wanting to get your brothers back? You wished to get your brothers' happiness back by any means necessary.
As I softly petted his hair with my fingers, he lightly chuckled.
Yzak: If you do that, it'll seem like you'll do anything to get accepted. What's with that... You're acting as if I did something good. Being told something like that for the first time, how amI supposed to understand that? Don't pamper me. I don't want to get used to it...
While I was hugging his body in my arms, he raised his head a little. When his large hand touched my cheek, he caressed it many times like that.
Yzak: Princess...
As his face got closer, I became drawn towards it as I was filled with confusion... The moment we were at a breathing distance, his hand tightly pinched my cheek.
MC: !
Yzak: Haha! What an amusing face.
Unsure of what kind of face I was making, I was suddenly hit with embarrassment.
(What was I doing just now...)
MC: Yza-
Just as I was about to continue speaking, he suddenly placed his lips over mine to stop me.
MC: ...!
The warmth remained when the soft sensation went away.
Yzak: I'm sure that I'm making a strange face too, but that's fair...
MC: ...
Yzak: I'll believe in your words, Princess. So... Tell me how I can get them back. I want to make Bro and my younger brothers happy no matter what. I'm the one who didn't know anything. So, I want this dream to end already. Let's go back.
When Yzak messily petted my hair, he softly smiled. At that moment, as the flower petals soared from the wind blowing, the dream gradually crumbled away and disappeared.
(The dream is ending... We're returning to reality.)
As my body somehow felt the weight of the atmosphere, everyone's voices were gradually starting to sound clear. Just as I was on the verge of being engulfed by the light, I looked at Yzak.
Yzak: Also... I know.
While looking forward, Yzak was softly murmuring.
Yzak: MC. Next time, I would like to hear what you like.
MC: ...Sure!
We walked towards the path of light that was shining in. Even though there's a harsh reality over there, I vowed to never let go of this wish no matter what...
