Ch. 2: Town of Sinva

 

After awakening Leonie on a hill tinged in crimson…

 

I was a little curious about his timid manner, and we had come to the town of Sinva.

 

I suspected it was because it was twilight, but the town was crowded with people returning home after work and school.

 

Leonie: "…nn?"

 

At that time, Leonie closed his eyes and his nose twitched.

 

OO: "What’s that sweet smell…?"

 

I looked among the stalls lined up in the eaves of the street corner and saw a delicious-looking crepe shop.

 

Leonie: "…"

 

Though he shook his head, Leonie’s eyes were glued to the crepe stand.

 

Is he hungry?

 

OO: "Should we buy some?"

 

Leonie: "Wha!? Ah, no way, there’s no way I’d like sweet things! I’m intimidating…"

 

What he said sounded a lot like what he had said when he had woken up…

 

Villager 1: "Ah, it’s Prince Leonie! Prince Leonie has returned!"

 

Villager 2: "My, how wonderful!"

 

Leonie: "W-wha-!?"

 

In an instant, the townsfolk had swarmed Leonie.

 

But Leonie’s eyes went wide as he hid behind me clutching the bottom of my blouse as I stood there confused.

 

Leonie: "……!"

 

Leonie’s eyes darted back and forth as he squirmed and…

 

[CHOICE]

  • What’s wrong? (SUN)

  • I’m glad (MOON)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Leonie: "A-alright…sorry for worrying you. Everything‘ll be fine now that I’m back! … probably."

 

The end of his sentence sounded a little forlorn, and the gathered people smiled.

 

OO: "Everyone seems to really love you Leonie."

 

Villager 2: "Of course, because at times like this Prince Leonis is so cute."

 

Leonie: "S-shut up! Don’t call me cute!"

 

The townsfolk laughed pleasantly as Leonie snapped at them.

 

But within that warm circle of people…

 

Leonie: "…damnit…if I just had courage…"

 

I was the only one who heard as Leonie mumbled to himself.

OO: "What's wrong? Everyone seems so glad that you're safe."

 

Leonie: "!? Of course they are! I'm the prince here after all!"

 

He spoke pridefully when...

 

Boy: "Yay, it's Prince Leonie~! Ah, come back Lucky!"

 

Dog: "Grrr, bark! Bark bark!"

 

Leonie: "Uwa!?"

Suddenly, a child following after a barking dog came flying out of the crowd, and Leonie dodged away.

OO: "I’m glad. It looks like everyone’s been waiting for you to return Leonie."

 

Villager 2: "Yes, we’re so thankful! Right, Prince Leonie?"

 

Villager 1: "You’ve been gone for so long, we were so worried."

Leonie: "…oh…"
