Chapter 5 - To Protect You

-Flashback-

Argo: How about we have a match tomorrow? 

Prytwen: A match...? 

Argo: Yes. The winner will get to spend time with the adorable lady.

-Flashback-

Prytwen: ...

Prytwen-san stood in front of me to protect me from Argo-san. 

MC: Um... 

Prytwen: ...Very well, I accept your challenge. 

(Prytwen-san...!?) 

Prytwen: In return, if I win, never lay a hand on her again. 

Prytwen-san glared at Argo-san with a scary face that I've never seen before. 

(Prytwen-san...) 

Argo: I'm glad that you're getting into it. In that case, let's hurry and sign up. 

Prytwen: Sign up?

Argo: The match will be a beach flag tournament that'll be happening tomorrow. 

Thinking that his chance of victory is high, Argo-san smiled confidently. 

Prytwen: Fine. This isn't the place to be swinging around weapons after all. But... No matter what kind of match it is, I'll win. With this hand that wields a weapon, I'm sure of it. 

After Prytwen-san said that, he turned towards me. Then...

Prytwen: You too. Remember that. 

MC: Okay...

As Prytwen-san was looking straight at me, I held back my loud heartbeat as I nodded deeply...

Last Chapter - As Your Protective Shield

The next day, the ship anchored at an isolated island... 

In the beach flag tournament that was being sponsored by a passenger, Prytwen-san and Argo-san faced each other. 

-Flashback-

Prytwen: ...Very well, I accept your challenge. In return, if I win, never lay a hand on her again.

-Flashback-

(Prytwen-san...)

Prytwen: It'll be okay. Didn't I tell you? I will win. 

MC: Yes. But, please don't push yourself. 

Prytwen: Don't worry, trust me. Once this match is over... 

Just as he said that at that moment... 

Sponsor: As the sponsor, I would like to announce the start of the beach flag tournament. 

The announcement echoed throughout the area to notify that it was starting. 

(It's almost time...) 

Prytwen-san held my hand tightly. 

MC: Ah...

Without realizing it myself, my hand was trembling a little. 

Prytwen: ...Don't worry. I will win. I won't let that guy do as he pleases!

Prytwen-san's words were strong and that was enough to reassure me...

......

Then, the long-awaited beach flag tournament started... 

Prytwen: ...Alright!

(Prytwen-san is amazing.) 

Prytwen-san was doing well as he advanced through with his victories... 

Passenger 1: That guy is amazing!

Argo: ...

(Argo-san is strong too...) 

As Prytwen-san and Argo-san continued to gain victories, they finally made it to the deciding match... 

Argo: Our match has finally come. 

While standing beside Prytwen-san, Argo-san said that to provoke him. 

Prytwen: I will win... I won't have over MC! Not to anyone!

Prytwen-san looked at me strongly. 

MC: Prytwen-san, you can do it!

I cheered for Prytwen-san with all my strength. 

Sponsor: Both players, take your places. Ready... 

Just as the signal to start was made, Prytwen-san and Argo-san both ran towards the flag. 

(Prytwen-san...!) 

As the sand was roughly kicked up, their speed was about on the same level... 

(You can do it...!) 

Prytwen: Uwoooooh!!

Argo: ...

Prytwen-san and Argo-san jumped towards the flag at the same time. Among the cheers, the flag went to... 

(Ah...) 

Prytwen-san just narrowly grabbed the flag. 

(Prytwen-san did it...!) 

Argo: I lost... 

Prytwen: Haa, haa... I told you that I would win. 

Out of breath, sweat wouldn't stop going down Prytwen-san's forehead... 

MC: Prytwen-san!

Prytwen: MC!

With a satisfied smile, Prytwen-san ran towards me. 

Then, he hugged me strongly... 

Prytwen: I won!

MC: Yes! I was watching you. The whole time... 

I recalled how Prytwen-san looked the entire time today. 

Prytwen: I'm so glad that I didn't lose you. I'm so glad that I was able to protect you... 

Prytwen-san's robust arms hugged me more strongly. I was so glad that he won that my affection towards him was overflowing in my heart. 

MC: Thank you so much...

Conveying all my feelings, I wrapped my arms around his back. 

Prytwen: You don't have to thank me. I won for your sake. I didn't want to hand you over to anyone. Because I... 

Just as he said that, his face turend red...

Prytwen: On this trip... I wanted to... s-say that... I love... you. 

MC: Eh...? 

When his voice became soft, I didn't catch what he said at the end. 

MC: Um... Can you say that one more time? 

Prytwen: Eh, um... What I meant was...!

Sponsor: Sorry to ruin the mood!

The sponsor happily spoke to us. 

Prytwen: Uwah! S-Sorry!

Prytwen-san lets go of me in a panic. 

MC: I-It's okay...!

(We were, in front of everyone...) 

Sponsor: Congratulations on your victory! Your prize is a voucher for a suite room! Accept it, you two!

Prytwen: A suite room!? There was something like that!? No, but, I... 

(Prytwen-san...)

As Prytwen-san's face couldn't get any redder, I broke into a smile. Then...

(As long as I'm with Prytwen-san...)

MC: Um... I'm looking forward to it. 

Prytwen: Eh...? E-EHHH...!? 

After I spoke out my feelings softly, I hid my warm face by turning around. 

(It's a little embarrassing... But.)

I thought about how we'll be spending time together... As it looked like the sun was smiling, I held my chest that wouldn't stop going fast...
