When I Saved a Girl Who Was About to Be Kidnapped and It Turned Out to Be a Princess Who Had Come to Visit in Secret
“I’m off then, Ayla.”
After leaving Mi-chan and the others, we visited various attractions and were going to ride the Ferris wheel for the end of the tour.
So, as promised, I asked Ayla chan to wait for me.
“I’m sorry.”
“No, I had a great time. I hope you two can enjoy yourselves in the end.”
When I apologized, she smiled back.
I don’t sense any feelings of loneliness or sulking from that smile.
She really seems to want us to enjoy ourselves alone.
Taking Ayla chan’s word for it, Luna and I got on the Ferris wheel.
I sat right next to Luna, not in front of her seat
“Fufu……..♪”
Luna, who saw me sitting next to her, let out a happy smile and hugged me in her arms.
It seemed like she was pleased.
“The sunset and the ocean…..beautiful. ……”
I guess she was referring to the view from the window.
The sky has turned completely orange while we were playing, and the setting sun is illuminating the ocean.
This scenery seems to make me feel somewhat lonely, but thanks to her being with me now, I don’t feel lonely.
“I can understand why Luna wanted to ride alone with me.”
I lay my hand on Luna’s head.
I’m sure the beautiful and tasteful scenery would be fun to see with anyone but someone you don’t like, but I think it’s more enjoyable with your girlfriend.
At the very least, I was very happy to be able to watch the scenery tinted with the setting sun in a space just for the two of us.
“–It was a little unexpected. ……”
As we silently gazed at the scenery, Luna suddenly muttered something.
“Hnn? What?”
“I’m talking about Mi-chan. I thought Seito-sama would also choose to play with Mi-chan.”
What was brought up seemed to be the time when I did not accept Mi-chan’s feelings.
“Did you think I was a cold man?”
“No,…… then that would mean that I am a cold woman too, since I thought that I was happy with Seito-sama’s choice,……”
I didn’t ask what Luna thought at the time.
However, it seems my choice was not wrong.
“I understand why Luna wanted to play with Mi-chan, and I thought about doing the same for a moment. She was a young girl.”
“…………”
Luna looked up at me silently as we talked, remembering that time.
Maybe she’s going to say something after she hears it all.
“But today I wanted to spend some time with Luna. It was my first amusement park date and I wanted Luna to be happy. It would have been fun to have Mi-chan and the others there, but I thought it wouldn’t be a lover’s date.”
I think I know what Luna is looking for from me.
She longs to be a lover.
I didn’t want to disrespect Luna’s feelings, who were looking forward to today.
“…I’m really glad I met Seito-sama…”
When I was slightly defensive, wondering what she was going to say, Luna laid her head on my shoulder and closed her eyes.
“I’m the one that’s doing it.”
The days since I met Luna have been happy.
Although I feel guilty to Rion, there is no doubt about it.
“Fufu, if you say so, I’m happy for you too. I would like to be with you forever and ever, Seito-sama. ……”
When Luna said that, she pressed her face firmly into my arm.
It’s possible that she’s in spoiled mode, but that’s probably not the only reason.
“I also want to be with Luna forever.”
In response to Luna’s words, I told her how I honestly felt.
–I swallowed the words, “If you want to be with me…”.
Luna, upon hearing my words, pulled her face from my arms and gazed into my eyes.
Her face, illuminated by the setting sun streaming in through the window, seemed more beautiful than anything I had ever seen.
“Then please don’t feel guilty. That feeling will definitely tear us apart.”
“–!?”
Luna’s request makes my eyes widen involuntarily.
I knew she would know.
But I didn’t think that she, who is so kind and caring, would directly tell me.
“Even if you were trying to heal the wound between you and Rion-sama with me, do you think I would not like that?”
Luna gently put her hand on my left chest and asked with her strong willed eyes.
“You wouldn’t like that either, would you ……?”
There is no way that anyone would be happy to be taken advantage of.
“Is that really the case? At least, for me, I am very happy about it. After all, it means that I am able to heal the wounds of Seito-sama’s broken heart.”
“Ah, ……”
I gasped as Luna smiled gently at me.
I hadn’t had that thought at all.
Or, I should say, it was a thought I shouldn’t have had. ……
Although it is a matter of being dependent on the kindness of the other person, is it possible to see it that way?
But I don’t think it’s usually easy to draw such a conclusion, even on the girl’s side.
What a kind and strong girl she is.
“Thank you, Luna.”
I thank her for thinking of me and choosing her words for me.
“….. No, perhaps I spoke out of turn earlier, but the truth is that I am just like you, Seito-sama.”
But Luna smiled as if she was troubled.
Speaking of which, Ayla-chan also said something about Luna feeling guilty…….
“What do you mean?”
I asked, thinking it would be quicker to ask her.
“I love being with Seito-sama and being pampered by him. However, I think that it is …… taking advantage of the wounds of a broken heart.”
After being told this much, I finally understood.
Certainly, if you look at it differently, you can see it that way.
I think of Luna as a pampered child.
So, without thinking of any particular reason, I just feel cute and happy when she is spoiled,
But to others, it may seem like she is taking advantage of my weakness due to a broken heart.
In fact, it may have been that way. ……
But that’s just Luna’s concern, not mine.
— I see, the person who feels guilty and the other person who feels guilty have such different impressions of each other,…….
“I just thought that Luna was really cute when she was being spoiled.”
“Hau ……!”
When I conveyed my honest feelings with a smile, Luna’s face turned bright red with such force that you could almost hear the sound of a bonk.
As expected, it was probably not because of the setting sun.
[Seito-sama’s smile is too nice, it’s not fair. ……]
Luna is mumbling something, but unfortunately, the Ferris wheel is too short of an attraction to have a long talk.
We are almost at the bottom of the Ferris wheel.
“How does Luna feel about her burden of guilt?”
I felt bad for Luna, who was in her own world, but I was curious as to why she bothered to tell me about her guilt, so I went on with it
“I-I feel guilty that I may have …… done something unfair, but I want to be with Seito-sama even if I have to push those feelings away. Therefore, I will not worry about it anymore. As long as Seito-sama likes me, that’s all that matters.”
That’s how much she wants to say she loves me.
As long as I fall in love with her, there is no problem, and now I am in love with her as well.
Maybe that’s enough.
But her words were not finished.
“Therefore, Seito-sama, I would like you to stop worrying about whether you might be trying to forget your lost love, and think only about me. I am happy only to be desired by you.”
I guess the point is, don’t think about the mess, just stay with her.
She is a neat and pretty princess, a kind and gentle girl who is considerate of others, but she is also a strong-minded girl.
She is also very possessive.
“Thank you. I really don’t have to think about anything else from now on, I’ll just face Luna.”
“Yes. …… ♪”
Once I felt comfortable with her, I gently hugged her, and Luna happily hugged me back.
I don’t know.
A lot of things have happened, and I’ve worried about some stupid ideas, but after all, I’m really happy doing this.
There may still be things and problems that I need to overcome, but if Luna is with me, then strangely enough, I feel like everything is going to be fine.
After this, we asked Ayla chan to let us get in line for the Ferris wheel again, as we had only been able to enjoy the scenery a little bit.
And when our turn came, Luna hugged me in her arms just like the first time, but we silently enjoyed the beautiful sunset view and made it our first date to remember.
