Navi - The Traumerei Princess' Butler - Main Story

Chapter 1 - An Uneasy Morning

Behind my closed eyelids, I felt the warm morning sunlight. As I heard birds chirping, I dozed off... 

??: ...It's morning. 

The voice that was gentle like silk, it pulled me back to reality just as I was about to fall asleep. 

(This voice is...) 

??: MC... 

(I know it... This voice that's calling out to me.) 

MC: Big Brother... 

When I slowly opened my eyelids, I searched for the person that woke me up. Although... 

Navi: Princess. 

Big, cute eyes were looking at me. 

Navi: Good morning, Princess. The weather is nice today as well. 

MC: Ah... 

Navi: Once you get dressed, let's go out. 

Navi... The person that's in that form smiled gently. 

MC: Um... 

(I wonder if it's okay to call him, Navi... But, he's not really Navi...) 

Navi: ...I'll go on ahead. Once you're ready, let me know. 

As his long ears fluttered, he silently left the room. 

(That's right... Today, everyone is letting me be with Navi.) 

After I watched the door closed, I was unable to get rid of my uneasiness... 

Chapter 2 - In Town Together

The town was thriving as it was basked in the warm sunlight... We let ourselves get carried away by the people that were coming and going as we were walking through the peaceful main street that had shops lined up in it. 

Navi: Princess, what do you want to do? Looking around the stores might be fun. Or is there a place that you would like to go to? 

When Navi looked up at me, he made his usual smile. 

(It's strange... It's hard to believe that Navi, who's been with me, was Big Brother.) 

MC: ...

Navi: Princess? 

MC: Eh... Ah, sorry. 

((I shouldn't... I got absentminded.) 

Navi: Could it be that, these clothes... are strange? 

MC: Eh? 

When Navi looked down at himself, he gripped his clothes with both hands uneasily. 

Navi: That's what Prince Hinata and Prince Byakuyou seemed to have thought... 

When he became uneasy and was concerned about his shirttail and sleeves that were different than usual, I...

///Choices///

- They're cute (☼)

MC: You look really cute. 

Navi: That's good! Prince Hinata told me this. He said that the ribbon on my collar is a charm point. 

- They're cool (☽)

MC: No, you look cool. 

Navi: Really? Prince Byakuyou prepared a lot of clothes for me. I should thank him!

///Choices///

As his ears shook adorably, I broke into a smile. 

Navi: Princess...

Navi looked at me as if he had something to say. Although, that expression instantly turned into a bright smile. 

Navi: Let's go somewhere! I want to go where you want to go to... Please leave everything to me!

(Navi...) 

MC: What do you want to do? 

Navi: Eh? Me? 

When he didn't expect me to say that, he blinked. 

MC: Yes. Since it's our rare chance of a day off. 

Navi: Hm~m. 

Navi placed his hands on his cheeks and thought about it, but... He made a troubled smile soon after. 

Navi: I... I'd be really happy if I can make you happy... 

MC: I see. Then... Let's play a lot for the entire day. I want to... talk about all sorts of things with you, Navi. 

When I held out my hand to him, Navi looked at me slightly surprised. 

MC: Navi? 

Navi: I-It's nothing... 

As he narrowed his eyes, he sighed somewhat in relief. 

Navi: Princess... You truly are kind. It's kind of strange. 

MC: Strange? 

Navi: I was looking forward to spending time with you like this that I couldn't think. I'm really not sure if I deserve it... 

MC: That's not true...!

Navi: Eh? 

Showing affection, I held Navi's soft hand. 

MC: Besides, I love you, Navi. That's why I'm happy to be spending time with you like this. 

Navi: ...

MC: Today, I want to do what you want to do. 

Navi: Thank you so much, Princess. 

Navi gently placed his hand over mine. His soft white fur even tickled my heart... 

Chapter 3 - Past Appearance

When we entered a clothing store, we picked up some clothes that were arranged on the shelves. 

MC: How cute... 

Navi: Princess. What do you think of these clothes? 

Running over to me, Navi showed me a white dress that had a frilly hem. 

MC: Hmm. Don't you think it's a little childish?

Navi: I'm sure that it'll look good on you! You're very cute after all! But, you look cute no matter what you wear, Princess, so this one might be good as well!

Navi looked from the white dress to a different type of clothes. Those clothes were cute, but it had a ribbon and frills as well... 

MC: Navi... Do you think of me as a child? 

Navi: N-Not at all...!

As if I was right on the mark, Navi's ears went up. 

MC: Geez... 

///Choices///

- Something mature would be nice (☽)

MC: Something mature would be nice. 

Navi: Something mature... How difficult. 

With a serious face, Navi murmured that. 

Navi: ...At times like these... Hope would've chosen something good. 

- I'll choose myself (☼)

MC: I'll choose myself. 

Navi: Ah... 

After saying that softly, Navi narrowed his eyes somewhat fondly. 

Navi: ...If Hope were here... We would've talked about what would look good on you. 

///Choices///

MC: Navi? Just now... 

When I didn't hear what he said softly, Navi turned towards me. Although, he made his usual gentle smile. 

Navi: I see. You're already all grown up, so there might be some clothes that'll suit you more! You can't always... be a child. 

MC: Navi? 

Navi: My apologies! Please don't worry about it. 

After bowing lightly, Navi went over to a different shelf to search for clothes. When he would sometimes show a lonely look in his eyes, I felt an indescribable pain. 

......

When we left the clothing store, we held hands while looking around the stores in the street. At that moment...

Girl: Ah! A white fox!

Navi: Eh...!

An innocent voice made Navi stiffen up a little. 

Navi: I-I'm not a fox-

Girl: Mama! Buy this~!

Navi: Eh? 

A small girl that was looking at the showcase window of a general goods store called for her mother. 

MC: Isn't this... Navi? 

The white fox doll in the showcase window was looking over here with a smile. 

///Choices///

- It's not Navi (☼)

MC: It's not Navi. 

Navi: E-Even though... that always happens. 

MC: Fufu, oh, Navi...

- Laugh softly (☽)

MC: Fufu... 

Navi: Princess, please don't laugh~!

MC: But... When it comes to you, I just... 

///Choices///

Because of how odd it was to see Navi panicking, I couldn't stop myself from laughing. 

MC: Ah... 

When I took a look... The mother and daughter finished their shopping and left the store. 

Girl's Mother: Make sure to take good care of him. 

Girl: Yeah! We'll always, al~ways be together!

The girl hugged the white fox doll as she smiled happily. 

(Always... together...) 

When my chest tightened from nostalgia, I gripped it. 

(Right now... I knew that...) 

Navi: ...Princess too.

MC: Eh? 

Navi: When we gave you a doll as a present... You were really happy like that. 

As he narrowed his eyes fondly, Navi murmured that. 

MC: A... doll... 

Navi: You were a crybaby when you were little... So, we were eager to make you smile. 

When something deep within my memories shook, I felt that I heard someone's voice. 

-Flashback-

Hope: MC. Here, it's a cute doll. I chose it. 

XX: Hope. We both chose it. 

Hope: Hmm... But, I found it. 

XX: Hope!

Hope: Haha, I'm kidding. MC, we both chose it for you. 

XX: We're glad that you like it. 

MC: Thank you, Big Brothers! I'll name him... Navi! I'll call him, Navi!

-Flashback-

(Navi... Big Brother...)

As he was looking at me gently, I recalled my memories from when I was younger. 

(But, Big Brother is already...) 

-Flashback-

XX: I'm sure that someday... you'll under-

Hope: Wake up... Don't go! Wake up!!! ...Aaaaaaahhh!!

-Flashback-

(Big Brother is...) 

Navi: Princess? 

MC: Ah... It's nothing, let's go. 

I pushed my sadness and pain aside. Not wanting to let him know, I turned my back towards him... 

Chapter 4 - A Peaceful Moment

As the wind blew, various colorful flowers swayed like a wave... 

MC: What a beautiful place. 

Navi: Yes. The flower field here is famous. The flowers that bloom here are rare and are not seen anywhere else. 

MC: Navi, you know everything. 

Navi: No... 

Navi scratched his cheeks somewhat embarrassed and looked at the vast scenery before us. As white clouds were drifting through the sky, a comforting breeze blew around us... 

Navi: It's beautiful... 

MC: Yes... 

///Choices///

- I want to stay here forever (☼)

MC: I want to stay here forever. 

Navi: I see. You've always loved flower fields ever since you were little. 

- I want to tell everyone about it (☽)

MC: I want to tell everyone about it. 

Navi: You really are kind, Princess. 

///Choices///

During the peaceful and gentle moment, I felt tears about to fall for some reason. Not wanting this happy moment to disappear, a heavy discouraging feeling was in my heart. 

MC: Hey... Navi. When this journey ends... What will you do? 

Navi: ...

While Navi was looking at the flower field, he shook a little. 

MC: Hope... Big Brother is... 

Navi: Hey, Princess... Isn't that flower cute!

Trying to avoid the topic, Navi lets go of my hand and crouched down. 

MC: Navi...? 

Navi: ...

Without answering my question, Navi silently continued to collect flowers. All I could hear was the wind that was making the flowers sway. 

MC: Hey, Navi.

Navi: ...

(Why won't he answer me?) 

Getting a sad feeling running through me, I felt pain. 

Navi: Done!

When Navi got up, he held up a flower crown that was made with various colorful flowers to me. Although, when he tried to put the flower crown on my head, Navi wasn't big enough to reach... 

Navi: Ah... 

MC: Fufu... 

When I leaned forward, Navi placed the flower crown on my head. 

(Ah... This is...) 

-Flashback-

XX: MC. Hey, come over here. 

MC: Wow, what a cute flower tiara... Thank you, Big Brother -----!

XX: Fufu... I'm glad that you like it. Looks like it's my victory, Hope. 

Hope: ...I won't lose next time. 

-Flashback-

(Big Brother... Hope and... The other person's name was...) 

-Flashback-

Hope: If you still want to be together... Don't ever say his name. 

-Flashback-

Despite that I know it... I tried my best to remember it. 

Navi: Princes...? 

When a strong wind blew, the flower petals scattered around. 

MC: ...Big Brother... 

Navi: !

MC: Navi... Your name is... 

Navi widened his eyes in surprise. His big eyes that were looking at me were shaking in fear...

Chapter 5 - Feelings About to Burst

The cold wind blew around us in suspense... 

MC: Navi... Your name is... 

His uneasiness converted his pain to me from his trembling eyes. 

-Flashback-

Hope: If you still want to be together... Don't ever say his name.

-Flashback-

(Even though he told me not to call him by his name, why...?) 

Navi: Princess... 

MC: Even though Big Brother Hope knows it, how come I'm the only one who doesn't know your name... 

Navi: Princess... Please, enough already. 

Trying to stop me, Navi slowly shook his head. 

MC: Why...? 

When I said that, it became hard for me to hold back my feelings... 

MC: Why won't you tell me? I want to know. 

Navi: Princess... 

MC: Even though you've been by my side like this up till now... Big Brother is already... 

Navi: Princess, I can't let you know... Not until this journey ends... 

MC: Until this journey ends, then what'll happen to you...!? 

Navi: !

MC: I don't like it... Because we finally got to meet...

Navi: MC!!

MC: ...!

His sharp voice made my voice get stuck in my throat. Before I knew it, Navi looked like he was about to cry when he looked up at me. 

MC: ...I'm sorry. 

Navi: ...I'm the one who should be apologizing. I'm sorry for surprising you...

When he walked up to me, he slowly reached out to me as if he wanted to pet my head. Although, his hand was unable to reach me so easily... 

Navi: ...

He lowered his hand and looked at me sadly. 

Navi: If it weren't for this hand... I would've been able to pet you... 

With a soft voice that could barely be heard, Navi continued talking in frustration. 

Navi: ...I'm sorry. 

MC: Navi... 

(I... Navi only... thought about my feelings... I never thought about Big Brother's feelings...) 

MC: Um... 

Navi: My apologies, Princess... Won't you let me be alone for a while? 

MC: ...

Navi: I'll come back to you soon. 

I... 

///Choices///

- Yes, I understand (☼)

MC: ...Yes, I understand. 

When I nodded, Navi somewhat sighed in relief. 

Navi: I'm sorry... 

- But... (☽)

MC: But... 

When I tried to stop him, Navi smiled sadly. 

Navi: Princess... I'm sorry, right now... 

///Choices///

When Navi turned his back on me, he started walking with his head down. 

(Navi...) 

HIs small back looked so heartrending... That I gripped the flower crown tightly. 

(Big Brother...) 

When I said that in my head, my heart felt like it was about to burst in pain. The wind that blew... It made all the flowers and my sadness whirl up...
