Chapter 6 - What Costume Would Suit Me?
On the night of the harvest festival, we could hear the lively voices of people outside the window...
Perla: Anyway, I need some kind of clue...
To add some flair to the harvest festival parade, Perla-san wanted to make a costume, but...
Perla: Hmm...
For a while, Perla-san has been making a complicated expression.
Perla: Hey, what kind of costume would suit me? I want to try considering other people's opinions the most.
He looked straight at me.
(Perla-san's costume...)
Wanting to support his feelings, I thought hard about it.
MC: I... I think a black cat costume would be good.
Perla: A black cat? Why?
Perla-san's clear eyes blnked curiously.
MC: You look good in the cat costume that you're wearing now. Also, your usual white image is strong, so... If you were in black, it'd give off a different impression.
Perla: I see...
From my response, Perla-san looked a little surprised as he tilted his head to the side...
Chapter 7 - A Black Costume and Slight Jealousy
-Flashback-
MC: I... I think a black cat costume would be good.
Perla: A black cat? Why?
-Flashback-
Towards my response, Perla-san looked a little surprised as he tilted his head to the side...
Perla: Black is fine and all... I guess. I feel like that's the first time someone has said that to me.
MC: Really?
Perla: Yeah. In my kingdom, black isn't something that's good.
As Perla-san said that, his voice dwindled off a little at the end. The next moment, I suddenly began to regret what I just said.
(Black... I think that's because of the black pearls.)
The fearsome black pearls that'll bring people closer to death if they get in contact with one... It was something fearful that comes out of Perla-san's eyes due to strong feelings of hatred and anger.
MC: Perla-san, I'm sorry, I...
Just as I hung my head down...
Perla: You don't have to worry about it.
When he curled up his hand up like a cat, he gently touched my cheek. The soft sensation made my heart throb affectionately.
Perla: It's not like I'm angry or sad. Rather... Hearing you say that honestly makes me happy. I guess.
MC: Perla-san...
When he touched my cheek again, his long eyelashes went down beautifully.
Perla: Well, now that's been decided... Let's go over to him.
MC: Him?
When I returned that question, Perla-san nodded as if he knows something...
......
Then...
MC: That's good, Perla-san.
Perla: Yeah. Who would've thought that Prince Will had a costume team prepared.
While avoiding the crowded roads, we headed to the inn.
(When I heard that we were going to see Will-san, I was a little surprised.)
When we went over to Will-san and gave him the details about the costume... Will-san took a great liking to Perla-san's costume and had the staff members get it made.
Perla: It's thanks to you. I'm happy that we got a nice costume made. Ah... But, the trick earlier surprised me.
When Perla-san said that, I remembered being surprised by the trick that Will-san set up.
MC: I'm glad that he had some candy on him.
Perla: Hmm... Well, even though he was giving candy, he's pretty mischievous.
(I've heard that he loves the scared expressions of people, but...)
The giant pumpkin and ghosts that had unique makeup on that suddenly appeared... Will-san's huge trick made me scream many times.
Perla: But... Somehow, you seemed to be enjoying yourself.
MC: Eh!? That's not...
Perla: Something like that happening.
When he sounded a little angry, I tilted my head to the side.
(Perla-san...? What's wrong so suddenly?)
Just as I was about to ask him out of curiosity, Perla-san turned away from me soon after...
Perla: Well... I guess that's fine.
When he shook his head as if he was shaking something off, Perla-san turned towards me.
MC: Um...
Perla: As thanks for today, I'll buy you some candy.
MC: ...
Perla-san held my hand with his beautiful hand. He gripped it tightly...
Perla: ...I'm so childish.
When I felt warmth from his hand that was holding mine as he murmured that to no one, I got a ticklish feeling in my heart...
Last Chapter - Marshmallow Trick
As his hand was gripping mine strongly, the warmth I was feeling made my heart race... While holding hands with Perla-san, the town we were walking in felt slightly different than before.
(My heart is going really fast...)
Perla: Here, MC.
Just as Perla-san promised, he bought me some candy.
(Marshmallows... How cute.)
MC: Thank you, Perla-san.
Just as I was about to take the sweets from him at that moment...
Perla: Say... if you don't give me a treat, I'll play a trick on you.
MC: Eh?
When he pulled back the candy that he was about to hand over to me, Perla-san smiled merrily.
MC: Um...?
Perla: ...
When I said that, Perla-san only chuckled...
(Perla-san...?)
With his back facing the town of Lotria* at night, he looked a little spooky.
T/N: Rolf's kingdom
MC: If... If you don't give me a treat, I'll play a trick on you.
Feeling uneasy, I tried saying what Perla-san wanted me to say cheerfully. Then...
Perla: Then, say ahh.
MC: Eh?
Removing the wrapper, Perla-san held up a marshmallow.
Perla: I'll feed you. So, say ahh...
As Perla-san made a mischievous expression, he looked happy somehow...
(It's a little embarrassing, but...)
Once I've readied myself, I opened my mouth...
Perla: You know what, I won't give you any.
Right before the candy was about to reach my mouth, he stopped his hand.
MC: Eh!
His beautiful eyes narrowed happily.
MC: ...Perla-san?
Perla: I'm not giving you any candy. ...Depending on the trick that you'll play. ...Won't you think of a fun trick for me?
MC: ...
The rare, captivating look in Perla-san's eyes shot through me. My heart went very fast.
Perla: Hey, your trick...?
When he pleaded me to hurry, my heartbeat went faster...
(Perla-san is... the one playing a trick.)
Perla: Won't you play a trick on me?
MC: U-Um, but... The servant is watching us right now...
Perla: ...
Even so, Perla-san wouldn't let me off...
Perla: I see... Feeling embarrassed from being seen by the servant, try thinking of one.
MC: ...!
Perla: Just try. Try anything to me.
When he whispered that sweetly, my heart felt like melting. His eyes looked especially charming as they shined from the glow of the town at night.
Just as Perla-san tossed the candy into his mouth, he got closer to me.
Perla: MC...?
When he said my name, the subtle sweet scent of the candy in his mouth lightly perked my nose. Drawn towards the sweet temptation, his lips got closer and were placed over mine.
(It really is... sweet...)
Hiding from the servant, Perla-san hugged me.
Perla: ...You won't do it? In that case...
MC: ...
The tip of his tongue slid against my cheek.
Perla: I'm going to have to pretend to be a cat in the parade, right...?
(A cat...)
When I softly placed my hand on his pale cheek, I tried caressing it. Then, Perla-san narrowed his eyes in comfort...
Perla: ...Is this the trick? How cute.
After he said that and put a marshmallow in his mouth...
MC: Mm...
Once again, our lips met and he pushed the marshmallow into my mouth. When the sweet sensation took over my entire body, I became unable to move.
Perla: ...There. You gave it to me properly.
After grinning, Perla-san held my hand again and started walking.
Perla: Meow.
His happy meow secretly echoed throughout the night of the harvest festival...
