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
“–Oh, by the way, what was it that Luna wanted to say in the end?”
I ask her about something that had been left unanswered by Ayla while she was preparing the cake on the table.
“Fueh!”
But I called out to Luna as she was lifting the cake to transfer it to a plate, so she was startled and let go of the cake.
[The cake is ……!]
Then Ayla, who was excitedly waiting for the cake with a twinkle in her eye, quickly inserted the plate under the falling cake.
The speed was blindingly fast, and it was the first serious movement I had seen in a long time.
It seemed that the cake was very important to her.
“Thank you, Ayla. ……”
“No, this is my part too.”
What she caught was Luna’s cake.
That’s why she handed Luna the plate with the cake on it with a smile.
When Luna took the plate, Ayla-chan stared at me intently.
I guess she is waiting for her portion of the cake to be handed over to her, since Ayla and I are splitting a two-pack that we bought at a convenience store.
Or rather, I think she is appealing to me with her eyes, telling me to “hurry up and get mine.”
“I’m sorry I startled you, Luna.”
At any rate, I’m sorry for making Ayla wait, but I apologize for startling Luna.
“No, no, it’s okay. ……”
Luna turns away from me, blushing.
She doesn’t look okay at all.
What she was trying to say to me must have been that upsetting.
“Should I not ask?”
“Ah, …….”
I tried to take a step back, but Luna’s eyes widened.
“No, that’s …… what I’d like to ask…”
It seems that she wants to ask
The reason why her eyes shook so much is that she probably thought that by pulling away, I wouldn’t be able to ask
“I see, what is it?”
I asked with a smile to make it easier for Luna to say what she wanted.
“………..”
But she turned her head down and began to fidget, holding her index fingers together.
This is something that she can’t seem to bring up.
“Take your time.”
I decided to go ahead and put Ayla’s cake on a plate
After handing the cake to Ayla, I put my own on my plate.
While I was doing so, Luna was fidgeting…
“Oh …… that’s not fair …….”
As she looked up to say something – when she saw me and Ayla’s cake, for some reason, she puffed out her little cheeks.
Yeah, why ……?
