Ch. 1: A Casual Guy
Tonitrus in Secundati in the Land of Spirits, Month of Shadow…-.
In Tonitrus, the land governed by a ruling family with power over thunder, a new prince awoke from his deep slumber.
Ritz: “Nn~~ I slept so good-...huh, who’re…?”
His emerald eyes, still half-closed from sleep, noticed me and…
Ritz: “You’re a cutie! Hey, wanna kiss?”
OO: “!?”
Uh...maybe I misheard just now. I feel like he said something about a kiss but...
Slightly overcome with surprise, I looked at the prince who had just woken up.
Ritz: “...?”
He’s Prince Ritz, from the Tonitrus family…
His golden hair, tinted faintly green, rested on his shoulders.
I could feel the bottomless cheerfulness he had as I looked into his wide eyes that darted about.
Ritz: “...what’s wrong? Did I startle you!?”
OO: “Y-yes…”
Ritz: “Ahaha! That’s good, very nice, you gettin’ all red like that. That fresh reaction is super cute. You woke me up right? What’s your name?”
OO: “I’m OO.”
Ritz: “OK, thanks, I’m Ritz. And I’m gonna invite you to Tonitrus’ castle.”
Just as he flashed me a huge smile…
OO: “...!”
Ritz grabbed my hand and easily pulled me into an embrace.
H-he’s so close…!
His face was right in front of mine, and I could feel his masculine arms around me, and his body temperature which was warmer than mine…
It happened so suddenly that I was once again at a loss for words.
OO: “Um…”
Ritz: “...you’re cool with it right? Just savin’ someone then going ‘alright see ya!’... that’s a little sad.”
Standing in the middle of Ritz’s arms, it was like I’d been caught up in his easy-going ways and I ended up accepting his invitation to the castle.
