Zero - Prince of Lyspur - Sun End

Chapter 5 - "It's Such an Eyesore"

As the blade shined red in the sunlight... 

MC: Zero-san...!

Just as I was about to jump in front of him...

Zero: MC...!

Zero-san held me from behind. 

Zero: ...!

After I closed my eyes that instant, I hesitantly opened them and... Blood was flowing from Zero-san's shoulder. 

MC: Zero-san...!

As I turned pale, he hid me behind him and glared at the men while breathing roughly. 

Zero: Do you guys have any idea of what you've just done? This is Princess MC of the royal family of Traumerei. 

Men: Princess MC...!? 

Zero: Did you think that you'll be let off after getting involved with such a small kingdom's power struggle!? 

Man 1: ...First off, let's run. 

Just like when they appeared, the men ran away by disappearing without a sound. After seeing them off, Zero-san sighed deeply. 

MC: Zero-san! Are you okay!? 

Zero: It's just a scratch. No big deal. More importantly... ...Even though I told you to run. You're truly unpredictable. 

As he chuckled as if nothing had happened, I placed my handkerchief on his injury. 

MC: Those people just now were...? 

Zero: Yeah, our kingdom has a lot of princes. The retainers would get into disputes about who'll inherit the throne. It's such an eyesore. 

MC: Zero-san... 

I was unable to see his eyes behind his glasses. When he faintly smiled as I was worrying, my chest tightened... 

Last Chapter - "The Way You Act"

As the sunlight was shining down brightly through the gaps between the tree leaves... 

Zero: It's such an eyesore.

MC: Zero-san... 

(To think that he was in such a troubling situation. I can't find the words to say...) 

As Zero-san was holding his shoulder, I slowly reached out to him. Just as I was about to touch his hair...

Zero: ... 

Zero-san raised his face and we looked at each other for a while. Zero-san slowly blinked. 

Zero: What would be the right thing to talk about at a time like this? 

MC: U-Uh... 

(Somehow, I'm feeling embarrassed...) 

Zero: Should we talk about the sky again? 

MC: Eh... 

When Zero-san suddenly said that... We smiled at each other without saying anything. 

Zero: This really is difficult. 

Zero-san murmured that as he adjusted his black framed glasses. 

MC: But, earlier, you were talking about yourself, Zero-san. I was scared when we got attacked... Also. Fighting with your siblings, I don't know what would be the right thing to say about that. But, I got to know something about you a little. 

When I told him how I felt smoothly, I looked straight at him in the eye. 

Zero: ...So? Wouldn't that mean we're getting along? 

MC: Eh? 

Zero: Are you talking to me because you wanted to get along? 

After he said that, his face slowly got closer... 

MC: ...

I closed my eyes tight in embarrassment. 

When he continued chuckling, I felt a slight heaviness on my shoulder. When I slowly opened my eyes, Zero-san's cheek was placed against my shoulder. 

Zero: I found one thing about the way you act. 

Unable to hear his words, my heart throbbed greatly. 

Zero: Your face turns red when my face gets closer to yours. 

MC: U-Um, Zero-san... 

Zero: What? 

As his cheek was placed on my shoulder, he looked up at me. Through his glasses, his eyes shook mischievously. 

MC: ...

(If he looks at me like that...) 

I couldn't bring myself to continue speaking. 

Zero: ...Someday. I want to get to know you more like this. Finding lots of ways to make you happy sounds interesting. Not just with statistics, with your way... 

His fingers gently touched my cheek. As I looked at the beautiful world that the sun was giving color to, I remembered his words. 

-Flashback-

Zero: What I'm saying is that the reason the color of the sky has become this brightly colored now is because of the storm...

-Flashback-

His face got closer. I silently closed my eyes...
