Chapter 1 - Luke's Troubles
In the forest near Alstoria* castle... As the tree leaves were swaying from the gentle wind blowing, a beautiful sound was heard.
T/N: Avi's kingdom
(This sound is...)
When I walked forward a little, I saw Luke-san playing the flute with his eyes closed in the middle of the sunlight that was shining through the trees.
(I knew it was Luke-san.)
I thought about calling out to him, but I wanted to hear that beautiful sound that I slowly closed my eyes.
(It really is such a beautiful sound.)
Then, when the sound slowly stopped...
Luke: MC-san.
Luke-san looked at me gently.
MC: Ah, I'm sorry. Did I interrupt you?
Luke: No, not at all.
With his hand that was holding the flute, he arranged the large hat on his head and smiled gently.
MC: It was really nice. The sound of your flute.
Luke: It was nothing...
As he responded, his face made a bit of a gloomy look.
MC: What's wrong?
Luke: ...
When I asked that, he turned away with a complicated look on his face.
MC: Luke-san?
Luke: MC-san...
MC: Is something troubling you? If it's all right, I'd like to help you with it.
Luke: ...
After Luke-san stayed silent for a while, he spoke determinedly.
Luke: I... I was wondering how I can leave a bigger presence...
MC: Eh?
I couldn't help, but be bewildered by those words...
Chapter 2 - A Favor for Luke
The warm afternoon sunlight shined through the forest. When Luke-san spoke, it felt like his soft voice was being melted by that sunlight.
Luke: I... I was wonder how I can leave a bigger presence...
Those sudden words made me blink.
MC: W-What do you mean?
Luke: Well... Even though that I thought that I did when I went traveling. ...I probably don't stand out somehow.
MC: T-That's...
Just as I was about to deny that in a panic, Luke-san slowly shook his head.
Luke: No... Compared to Avi, who holds firm strength as a knight and Medi, who has an intense personality. Just looking at them makes me think that I don't have much of a presence as a prince.
///Choices///
- That's (☼)
MC: That's not true.
Luke: You truly are kind.
- True (☽)
MC: That might be true... But.
Luke: MC-san?
///Choices///
MC: Having you around keeps things balanced. Look, Avi can be a little reckless and you're the only one that says the right things to Medi-san!
Luke: ...
Luke-san was still making a troubled and perplexed look, but then, he slowly raised his face and looked at me.
Luke: That's right... I have a favor to ask of you.
MC: Eh?
I couldn't bring myself to look away from Luke-san's serious gaze...
Chapter 3 - Luke's Special Training
Luke-san looked straight at me.
Luke: That's right... I have a favor to ask of you.
MC: A favor...?
Then, he took a deep breath and slowly murmured some words.
Luke: Just like you said, I'm the only one that can speak back to those guys. In that case, I should polish my skills, otherwise I won't claim my existence... MC-san, my apologies, but will you stick with me during my training?
He looked straight at me.
MC: U-Uh...
(What do I do... Luke-san is this troubled.)
///Choices///
- Refuse (☽)
MC: I-I'm sorry. I can't.
Luke: ...I understand that it's troubling. But, I don't have the confidence to stay like this any longer.
- Go with him (☼)
MC: O-Okay.
Luke: Thank you. You're so strong.
///Choices///
Being pushed by Luke-san, who's acting differently than usual, I went along with his pleas.
MC: But, what are you going to do?
Luke: ...Let's see. Then, how about we ask either Avi or Medi on what I should do.
MC: Eh?
///Choices///
- Medi (☼)
(If we're talking about Medi-san...)
MC: A-An explosion of art...?
Luke: Medi. He causes trouble for others, so I'd like to refrain from doing anything that might scatter around.
- Avi (☽)
(Maybe we should ask Avi...)
MC: D-Do you think he's doing sword training already...?
Luke: Avi. Isn't it important to take breaks? He needs to rest both the mind and body.
///Choices///
Luke: ...
Luke-san placed his hand on his chin as he was thinking about something.
MC: Um...
Luke: Ah, sorry. Can we continue this for a while longer?
MC: S-Sure.
(Is this sort of thing all right...?)
After a while since then, I continued to talk with him back and forth...
