Chapter 6 - Feeling Warmth
The next day at dawn... Riel-san and I arrived at the valley where the Sleeping Lily blooms as planned.
Riel: It's so crowded.
MC: Until our turn comes, let's talk while waiting.
Riel: Sure. More importantly... I'm looking forward to it. I never would've thought that you would say something like that.
After hearing that, I remembered what I told him in front of the amusement park yesterday.
-Flashback-
Riel: Make a wish to play in the March Blow* amusement park...?
T/N: Marchia's territory
MC: Yes. How about we wish for that when we sleep tomorrow?
-Flashback-
MC: We might not have the dream that we wish for, but... I want you to have fun.
Riel: Me...?
Riel-san looked at me surprised. Although, the next moment, he held my hand tightly.
MC: ...!
Riel: Thank you. You're so kind. Can we stay like this until our turn comes?
Feeling the warmth in Riel-san's hand, I felt my cheeks getting hot as I nodded lightly...
Chapter 7 - Together in the Amusement Park
In the valley where the Sleeping Lily blooms, we closed our eyes. As we were enveloped in the strangely sweet scent, we fell into a slumber before we knew it...
MC: Mm...
Feeling the light against my eyelids, I slowly opened my eyes.
(This place is...!)
A large ferris wheel, a tall soaring roller coaster lane and fun, upbeat lively music... There was no mistaking it, we were in the March Blow amusement park.
Riel: Wow...!
Suddenly, Riel-san spoke up admiringly beside me. Even though there was no one around, we heard the joyful music and rides that were moving nonstop.
Riel: Amazing... It's hard to believe that we're in a dream.
Including the downpouring sunlight and the scent of popcorn that was drifting from somewhere, it all felt real...
MC: This is the March Blow amusement park that I know of!
I looked up at Riel-san excitedly. He looked back at me as his eyes were shining again.
Riel: That's amazing...! Ah, I'm so happy. Hey, MC-san. Where should we go?
MC: Which ride are you interested in?
Riel: Me? Hmm, let's see...
He frowned troubledly as he thought about it. Although, he broke into a smile soon after...
Riel: That coaster that looks like a waterfall looks like fun and I want to try riding those spinning teacups. Ah! Also, I want to try that sweet smelling popcorn. An souvenirs too! ...Ah. But, I wonder if we can buy souvenirs in a dream.
While watching Riel-san's eyes shine as he was talking, I broke into a smile.
MC: Then, let's go to all the places that you want to go to.
Riel: Eh, really? Aren't there any rides that you're interested in...
MC: I want to go where you want to go to, Riel-san. Let's have a lot of fun together today.
Riel: MC-san...
Riel-san slowly smiled... Then, he made a childlike expression.
Riel: MC-san, thank you!
Riel-san held my hand tightly.
Riel: It feels like a dream, being able to enjoy the amusement park to our heart's content with you... Ah, but this is a dream.
(I didn't think that this would make him this happy. I'm glad that I showed him around.)
I thought of that while looking at his smile...
Riel: Then, let's go ride the roller coaster first!
MC: Okay!
While holding my hand, Riel-san started running. Being in the amusement park together and the feeling of his smooth and beautiful, yet surprisingly large hand made my heart race loudly...
Last Chapter - Waking Up from the Dream
On the roller coaster, the teacups, the merry-go-round and the ferris wheel... We enjoyed ourselves to the fullest at the amusement park where it was just the two of us.
Riel: MC-san, aren't you tired?
MC: No, not at all. It's probably because we're in a dream.
Riel: Actually, the same goes for me. Like this, I can play for as long as I want. Then, next is...
Just as Riel-san spoke, my vision became slightly blurry.
MC: ...?
Riel: Huh, just now...
MC: You too, Riel-san?
Riel: Yeah... It looks like it's almost time for us to wake up.
Before we went to sleep, the administrator explained to us that our vision getting blurry means that we'll be waking up from the dream.
Riel: That's a little sad. Even though I wanted to play some more...
Riel-san smiled disappointedly and slowly looked around the amusement park. I felt a stinging pain in my heart from watching him.
MC: Let's come here to play next time. The next time we do it will be at the real amusement park.
Riel: MC-san... Yeah. Let's come again!
Just as Riel-san looked at me surprised, he smiled softly. Then, our vision became blurrier than before...
Riel: Thank you. I had a really fun time today. Just as the rumors said, it was the best experience, I'm going to brag about it to everyone in the forest.
MC: I had a lot of fun too. It makes me not want to leave...
(I want to be with Riel-san more.)
Keeping that thought to myself, I looked at the scene in a daze. At that moment.
Riel: ...Me too.
MC: Eh...?
Just when I felt my body being held, a soft sensation fell upon my forehead.
(Just now...)
The moment I realized that it was Riel-san's lips, I was so surprised that my cheeks became hot. Meanwhile, he slightly moved his lips away and whispered to me.
Riel: I think it'd be nice if we could continue this moment longer. Tha'ts because I love you.
MC: ...!
Riel-san's scent that was slightly lingering and his straightforward words made my cheeks heat up even more.
Riel: I wonder if you'll remember this. When I heard the rumors about the Sleeping Lily, your face was the first thing I thought of.
MC: ...Yes.
Feeling calm, I recalled Riel-san's face when he told me that as he was a little embarrassed in front of the bookshop.
Riel: I wanted to have a dream with you, I wanted to see you, but... Meeting up and spending time together... Yes, that's what made me love you.
MC: Riel-san...
His passionate words made my heart throb more.
Riel: When you wished for me to have fun, your feelings made me so happy... Once again, you became someone precious to me. Just seeing your smile makes me want you to have fun as well. That's what I've realized...
MC: Me too... I had a lot of fun. I really did.
Riel: That's good.
As Riel-san looked at me, he smiled happily more. Then, Riel-san placed his hand on my warm cheek...
MC: Ah...
The moment he pulled me towards him, my vision became enveloped by a bright light. Even Riel-san's face that was right in front of me was looking a little blurry now...
Riel: It's too bad. It looks like we've run out of time. ...Let's continue this after we wake up from the dream.
(Once we wake up, Riel-san will be right beside me...)
The moment I told myself that and shook away the slightly lonely feeling, the world turned whiter and I became unable to see him... I touched my forehead where the warm sensation was.
(Right now, I'm sure that...)
Faintly, I felt that he was smiling gently beyond the light. Wanting to hurry and see Riel-san, I slowly closed my eyes...
