Chapter 4 - Just the Bracelet
After leaving the café with Lied, we walked around town...
MC: Ah...
In the town's street stall, there were beautiful accessories on display.
MC: Look. They're all so pretty.
Lied: ...
When Lied looked at the accessories, he softly spoke to the employee.
Lied: We'll take all of these.
MC: EH!?
Ignoring the surprised employee, Lied calmly crossed his arms.
Lied: You looked like you wanted them.
(I guess, but... All of them.)
Lied: Send them all to the castle afterwards.
MC: L-Lied... Then, this one! Just this one!
I picked up a single bracelet that was studded with light purple jewels in a panic.
Lied: ...
(He looks dissatisfied...)
Lied: Fine. Then, we'll go with just this.
The employee's shoulders softly dropped and he gave us the bracelet.
Lied: Okay, here.
The bracelet that he gave me softly shined in the sunlight...
Last Chapter - To the Me Today
When I put on the bracelet that Lied bought for me, I held it up in the sunlight.
(It's really pretty.)
Lied: You're happy?
Lied looked at me puzzledly.
MC: Yeah! Because it's really pretty! Thank you.
Lied: Why would you say that you're fine with just that?
(Why, he says...)
MC: Because I can't put on that many things. Also, it'd be too much. Even if I see a pretty accessory afterwards, I might not want it.
Lied: Hmm...
MC: Lied, why do you buy everything?
When I asked that, he lightly sighed.
Lied: ...Because the world might end the next moment.
MC: Eh?
Lied: The possibility of the world to continue for a long time is outrageous. I don't get it either way, so I bear with it with the various hypotheses of how a person lives for so long.
MC: L-Lied?
Lied: But, enjoying this moment now is fine.
Suddenly, Lied gently grabbed my wrist.
MC: Lied...?
His gaze went from my face to the bracelet.
Lied: That's what your happy face seems to have done to the me today. You being happy makes me happy. Who knows what'll happen tomorrow.
(He doesn't know what's going to happen tomorrow...)
Lied: You.
MC: ?
Lied: Do you enjoy being with me now? Uneventful moments are pointless, so let's stop right here.
The bracelet on my arm shined brightly in the sunlight.
MC: It's fun. Also, I want to discover new things with you.
Lied: ...?
MC: We don't know what'll happen tomorrow, so I want to savor what's happening now.
Lied: I see.
When Lied narrowed his eyes satisfied, that beautiful hand held my hand.
Lied: The warmth of this hand too, is something that's happening at this moment now. Now then, let's go.
Even though the warmth of Lied's hand was only for this moment now, I was thinking how I wanted to feel it forever...
