Yume100 Translations

​

I had awakened a prince with beautiful jet black wings, and he continued to walk away with that same air of not wanting anyone to get close.

 

He looks really pale…I wonder if he's alright.

 

Looking at his pallid face, I thought he could collapse at any moment…

 

I went after him, unable to just leave him alone.

 

??: "…how long do you plan on following me?"

 

His voice was low as he finally spoke to me.

 

OO: "I'm sorry, but I'm worried…"

 

??: "I told you to leave me alone. Go away, don't come near me."

 

He frowned in annoyance, which pricked at my heart.

Child: "Whaa! My balloon flew away!"

 

From nearby, I heard a child cry out.

 

As I looked, I saw a balloon floating away from the child and rising higher.

 

??: "…!"

 

Immediately, the bewitching black wings beside me shifted and fluttered.

 

 OO: "Ah…-"

 

They spread out wide, and it seemed as if those beautiful wings would go after the balloon…

 

Then, like a deflating balloon, his wings immediately folded back up on themselves.

 

??: "…"

 

What's wrong?

 

He bit his lip as if lamenting something, and turned his eyes away from the sky.

 

At that time…

 

Mother: "Oh dear! I'll go get it right away."

 

The mother who was nearby spread her wings and lifted into the sky, and in the blink of an eye she'd retrieved the balloon.

 

Her wings were the pure-white color of snow.

 

Mother: "You must be careful with your precious balloon. Here, hold it tight."

 

Child: "Okay…uh, hck. Sorry mama…"

 

Mother: "Come on now…don't cry."

 

I was relieved to see the boy reunited with his balloon when…

 

Mother: "Ah…"

 

The mother seemed to just now notice us, and her eyes went wide as she turned pale.

 

Mother: "W-we’re going sweetie. It's dangerous."

 

OO: "Eh…?"

 

I was taken aback by how quickly the mother and her child had left.

 

What was that about?

 

Then…-.

 

??: "…that's how it is."

 

OO: "What do you mean…?"

 

I tilted my head, not quite understanding what had played out before me, and he turned to look at me with eyes filled with sorrow.

 

??: "Nothing good happens if you hang around me."

 

OO: "But that's…-"

 

Before I could finish, he turned his back on me and walked away.

 

At that time…-.

 

Town Child 2: "Ah! It's the Cursed Black Wings!"

 

Town Child 3: "Bad stuff is gonna happen! You get outta here!"

 

OO: "…!"

 

Some young kids that were walking by spotted us and immediately started throwing stones.

 

??: "…"

 

But even as he was pelted with stones, he didn't say a thing.

 

How awful…

 

OO: "Stop it! How could you do something so terrible…-"

 

I ended up shouting at them and…

 

Town Child 2: "Wha! The cursed guy's friend is gonna attack us!"

 

Town Child 3: "Run away!!"

 

The children ran away in surprise.

 

??: "…"

 

OO: "U-um…"

 

It was the same with that mother and her kid…why does everyone look at him that way?

 

Unable to find the right words, I just looked into his pure black eyes…

 

??: "The cursed guy's friend huh…"

 

Ah…

 

I realized he'd let a faint chuckle slip.

 

??: "…sorry."

 

OO: "N-no, I was the one…"

 

He seemed so kind for a second…then the sadness returned to his eyes, and I felt a pressure on my chest.

 

??: "Do you really not think anything odd of me?"

 

OO: "No…"

 

His eyes seemed to hold a sense of fear, but I also saw a glimmer of hope…time passed, then he turned towards me.

 

Lucien: "…my name is Lucien. What's yours?"

 

OO: "Eh…"

 

Lucien: "I'm asking for your name."

 

OO: "Ah…it's OO."

 

Lucien: "I see…"

 

Lucien…

 

His eyes seemed to waver with uncertainty, then he let out a small sigh.

 

Lucien: "…it won't be pretty if people saw you defending me. And it's getting dark…If you don't have anywhere to go, you can come with."

 

OO: "…!"

 

He casually threw the words over his shoulder, but I thought the black wings sprouting from his back gave a little flutter of delight.
