Yume100 Translations

​

The sky was dyed a myriad of colors as the sun rose.

 

I ended up unable to sleep and stayed awake all night. Then Byakuyo came to call in the morning to help me choose my clothes.

 

Byakuyo: "Oooo this is nice, very cute. Alright, then next is…"

 

Byakuyo led me to a mirror where I saw I wore a kimono adorned with vibrant flowers.

 

He swiftly made a slight adjustment, then gently dabbed a deep red pigment on my lips with his little finger.

 

His finger is on my lips…

 

The tip of his finger was slightly cool as it glided over the top of my lips.

 

Byakuyo: "Part your lips just a tad."

 

OO: "R-right."

 

Though I was tense with nervousness, I did as I was told and opened my mouth slightly.

 

Byakuyo came close to my face, and there was a sweet fragrance as he let out a breath.

 

Byakuyo: "There, all done."

 

The me I saw in the mirror looked like someone completely different.

 

Byakuyo: "Very beautiful. As expected, my choice was spot on."

 

Byakuyo smiled in satisfaction and I…-.

Byakuyo: "Though I'm kind of jealous."

 

OO: "Eh?"

 

Byakuyo: "Girls like you are sure to be popular with the men. I suppose I can't keep you all to myself forever."

 

Eh…

 

Those words suddenly jarred my heart as Byakuyo looked at me with a little bit of pain in his eyes.

 

Byakuyo: "Now, on to battle."

 

OO: "…right."

 

I just have to somehow act as Byakuyo's fiancée.

 

…

 

……

 

Arriving in the large reception hall, I saw there was already a woman there. She sat perfectly upright and wore a beautiful indigo kimono.

 

Kazuki: "…Lord Byakuyo. A pleasure to see you."

 

Lady Kazuki had cheeks the color of peaches, and her eyes glistened as she looked at Byakuyo.

 

She's so beautiful, so why does Byakuyo dislike her so much?

 

I turned my gaze to Byakuyo, and he seemed to be looking beyond Lady Kazuki with an air of disinterest.

 

Byakuyo: "Princess Kazuki, thank you for coming. However you'll have to excuse me. There will be no proposal of marriage at this time."

 

Byakuyo cut straight to the point.

 

Kazuki: "What…do you mean?"

 

Lady Kazuki's eyebrows shot up in surprise, and her voice trembled.

 

Byakuyo: "I am sorry, but my heart has decided on someone."

 

Byakuyo put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me in close.

 

Byakuyo: "This girl."

 

Kazuki: "…"

 

Lady Kazuki slowly turned those glistening eyes on me.

 

OO: "…nice to meet you."

 

I courteously bowed my head to her, wanting to carry out my mission to the fullest.

 

Kazuki: "I…see…"

 

I could hear the sound of heartache in her voice as it grew quiet.

 

I wonder if this is really OK.

 

Kazuki: "However, I shall endure until the day comes when you look at me Lord Byakuyo."

 

Byakuyo: "…"

 

While Lady Kazuki smiled like a gentle flower, Byakuyo's expression was hard.

 

The marriage interview was put on hold for a short time, and Byakuyo and I exited into the hallway.

 

OO: "She's quite beautiful."

 

Byakuyo looked down at me in shock as I quietly spoke those words.

 

Byakuyo: "In what way? The vileness in her heart was etched all over her face! She may seem nice on the surface, but inside she's cruel, and seizes power over opposing nobility with her underhanded tricks. It's how her whole family is. A life spent with a girl like her would be like Hell."

 

OO: "H-hell…"

 

Byakuyo: "Yes, precisely. That's why you have to play the perfect fiancée for me, see?"

 

[CHOICE]

• Leave it to me (SUN)

• I don't know if I can (MOON)

​

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

​

Byakuyo: "Though I feel a little bad getting you involved in all this."

 

He placed both of his hands on either side of my face and looked at me intently.

 

Byakuyo: "I bet you're wondering why there's no one else I thought I could leave this too. It'll be fine. I chose you for this after all."

 

There was strength there in his eyes that he'd never shown me before, and I couldn't look away.

 

OO: "Alright, if you say so Byakuyo."

 

Byakuyo: "Thanks OO."

 

He replied with a smile, and his serious gaze softened.

 

At that time…-.

 

Kazuki: "Lord Byakuyo."

 

Byakuyo: "Oh?"

 

Kazuki: "If you would be so kind, would you show me around the castle?"

 

Byakuyo: "Since you came all this way for nothing, I can do that much. However, I'm bringing her along as well."

 

Byakuyo took my hand, then started walking in front of Lady Kazuki.

 

Kazuki: "Of course, I don't mind."

 

I could hear a thinness in her voice.

 

I really feel like I ought to apologize to Lady Kazuki for all this.

 

Since we were walking in front, I couldn't see her expression.

 

That's why I didn't know that at that moment, there was a darkness in her eyes as she stared at me.
