Chapter 4 - Right Now, Speaking Up
The next morning...
Flu-san took me to the courtyard. The warm sunlight made the green leaves that were wet with morning dew shine.
MC: What a nice garden...
Flu: That's good...
Beside me, Flu-san sighed in relief.
Flu: Even though I said that I wanted to thank you, I didn't think that this would be enough... But, I was sure that you would like it.
When he smiled as he lowered a brow, it gave me a warm feeling.
Flu: ...I wanted to take you to a special place.
MC: A special place?
Flu: Yes... Actually...
Flu's Younger Brother: So, this is where you were!
Just as he was about to speak, his younger brother came over here as he said that cheerfully.
Flu: ...
Flu's Younger Brother: Since you're here, let's have a party!
His younger brother said that to us with a bright smile. Although...
Flu: Sorry, there's a place that I want to go with her.
That voice sounded clear in the silent garden. When he held my hand, he looked very dignified...
Last Chapter - Right Now, This Voice is Reaching You
As Flu-san was pulling my hand, we proceeded through the courtyard. The garden that had green walls and archways aligned made it feel like we were going through a maze.
(Where are we going...)
I thought of that as I looked at Flu-san's back... We arrived at a small clearing that had a single bench placed there.
MC: What a pretty place...
Flu: Ah... Sorry...
When he lets go of my hand in a panic, Flu-san looked away. I could tell that his face was turning red.
Flu: I... you... -ere. Um... I... thou-... you... wo-... it.
Due to him speaking while looking down, I was unable to catch what he said no matter what.
MC: ...I'm sorry, I can't hear you well.
When he looked up in surprise, he grabbed my shoulders. As he was looking straight at me, my heart skipped a beat.
Flu: MC-san.
His face slowly got closer.
MC: Eh...?
As he was getting closer to a touching distance, my heartbeat became louder. Although...
Flu: Can you... hear me like this?
Along with feeling his warm breath against my ear, I could hear his voice right beside me.
MC: Y-Yes...
Flu: I wanted to talk to you with just the two of us... I wanted you to hear my voice properly.
MC: Flu-san...
Flu: No one will interrupt us here.
Flu-san's laugh tickled my ear. When I turned towards that voice, Flu-san smiled as he looked down.
MC: I want to talk with you more, Flu-san.
Flu: That's good...
MC: But...
Flu: But?
MC: My heart... is going so fast... within this distance...
Flu: Ah...
When he backed away in a panic, Flu-san's face turned red.
Flu: I'm sorry...
MC: It's okay...
(My face feels warm...)
Hiding my face that has turned red, I placed both of my hands on my cheeks. When our eyes met, we smiled at each other.
MC: I want to hear you talk about the garden.
Flu-san is bashful and kind.
Flu: Yes. As much as you want...
I listened carefully to his voice. That soft voice reached my heart gently...
