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
Five days had passed since I started living with Luna–.
“Seito-sama ……”
Suddenly, Luna hugged me from behind.
“W-What’s wrong?”
I was still unaccustomed to her skinship, and I tried not to pay attention to my racing heartbeat as I called out to Luna.
“The promised day has arrived …….”
“Eh ……?”
What do you mean by the promised day – is it possible that today is the day we’re parting ……?
Luna didn’t say anything until yesterday.
I think it’s too sudden, no matter how much.
“Why, suddenly ……?”
“Originally, it was decided that it would be today,……. I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you. ……”
It seems that Luna had decided that today was the day to say goodbye.
If that’s the case, you should have told me. ……
I couldn’t help but think so.
After all, I need to prepare myself mentally.
“If not today….. Is it not good?”
“If it’s any later, there’s probably going to be a big fuss. ……”
A big fuss?
Would the organization that had captured Luna make some kind of a case to flush her out……?
I don’t want to send her back to those men. ……
“I’m fine with it, so you can stay here as long as you want you know…….?”
The original promise was for a few days, but nothing has gone wrong for the past five days.
I went out to buy side dishes and such, but I didn’t see any dangerous people.
When I start school, she will have to wait for me at home alone, but I will be able to live as usual.
After graduation, I could work and earn money to support her.
Not being able to go out might be stressful for her, but it would be better than going back to the dangerous people.…..
But–
“Thank you very much,……. You are really kind, aren’t you, Seito-sama? …… But I am sorry. I must go home.”
Luna is apparently ready to go.
I can’t do anything to suppress her will, nor do I have the right.
“I see. ……”
“Um, could you hold me again, ……? Give me the courage ……”
Luna pulled away from my body and asked me for a favor.
I guess this is the last time she is going to beg me.
I turn to Luna and hug her gently.
“Please don’t do anything dangerous okay, ……?”
“It’s okay. I plan to come back to Seito-sama again.”
That must be a sign of concern for me.
Luna said that she was on her way to solving the fundamental problem, but I don’t think she’ll be safe if she returns to those men.
I really didn’t want her to go.
“Thank you, I’m fine now. ……”
Luna taps me gently with a thump and implicitly tells me to let go.
I slowly let go and she turns on her own phone.
She had apparently turned it off before she met me, probably for GPS protection.
She went on and started calling somewhere.
[–Yes, I apologize for being so selfish. I’m fine.—]
From the phone, I heard a woman’s high-pitched voice yelling in English.
The voice was in English, so I couldn’t understand what she was saying at all, but it sounded like the person on the other end was very angry.
Luna was calmly dealing with the other party and hung up the call, as if she had reached the end of her story.
Then she looks up at me with a troubled laugh.
“Forgive me if I make a bit of a racket.”
“…… I see, that can’t be helped. ……”
It seems that Luna has given this location to the person who just called.
This is an act that puts me in danger and would normally be unbelievable.
But she is a kind and caring girl.
I don’t think she told about this place without thinking, and she must have had a reason.
I decided to trust her.
Even if this was a natural mistake, I had to accept that it was my destiny.
[…… don’t worry, everything will be fine. ……]
Luna took a deep breath and muttered to herself.
It’s worrisome that she seems nervous, but she has no choice but to get over it.
Eventually…
[–Open the lock!!]
The door of the room was pounded vigorously.
The voice sounded like a woman, probably the caller from earlier.
“Seito-sama, could you please come with me?”
“Wait, are you going to leave dressed like that?”
Luna was now wearing the same shirt she had on the first day.
I had promised her only on the first day, but she ended up taking out my shirt every time she took out her change of clothes, and she stayed in this outfit.
“This way, we can talk more quickly.”
Luna smiles and takes my hand.
I thought it was strange that she didn’t change her clothes, but I didn’t think she was going to leave the room dressed like this.
[Open the door!]
[Please don’t yell, I’ll open right away.]
Luna responds to the words shouted from outside with a gentle voice and puts her hand on the doorknob.
She then slowly opens the door.
[What in the world were you thinking?—!?]
A stern-looking woman in her thirties, wearing glasses, gasped when she saw Luna’s outfit.
Next to her stood a petite girl, younger than Luna and me, who also rolled her eyes in surprise.
That’s right, I thought to myself, ……, but I couldn’t quite swallow the situation because the people standing there looked so different from the people I had imagined.
