​

The glittering sunlight came in through the window and spread throughout the room…-

​

Has the rain stopped?

 

I opened the window and looked to the sky. From between the breaks in the clouds, a gentle light shone through.

 

OO: "It cleared up."

 

Shigure squinted up at the clear sky.

 

Shigure: "It's pretty…I like when the sky is clear."

 

Shigure seemed to be looking at something he loved as the light peaked between the clouds.

 

Shigure: "In this country, it's always raining, or cloudy…and it's always dark… but when it's a clear day, it lights up the whole country…that's why I like it."

 

Shigure, who was always one of little words, was slightly more talkative.

 

Shigure looks happy. I'm glad.

​

Shigure: "I'm too timid… I don't think I can be manly anyway."

​

Shigure's voice was cheerful, without a trace of the loneliness from before.

 

Seeing him like that, I…-

 

[CHOICE]

• Shall we go outside? (SUN)

• Let's look for the puppy (MOON)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I replied with a smile, and Shigure looked embarrassed.

 

Shigure: "Yeah…OK."

 

Shigure looked at me shyly.

 

Shigure: "…let's… try going outside then."

 

Good.

 

We left the castle and went outside…-.

 

…

 

……

 

In the field of flowers after the rain, the flower petals sparkled and shone with water droplets.

 

How pretty. I really am glad we came outside.

 

I wondered if Shigure felt the same way, and I looked out fondly at the scene before me.

 

OO: "I love the time after the rain."

 

I spoke it to myself, and Shigure turned to me in surprise.

 

Did I say something weird?

 

OO: "Well…without the raindrops, the flowers wouldn't sparkle like this. And the air feels so nice and cool."

 

Shigure: "So it's beautiful after the rain… I…never thought of the rain like that."

 

OO: "Shigure?"

 

Shigure: "So the rain shows you a beautiful world…when you think of it that way… I guess the rain is a good thing too."

 

Shigure looked like a little boy who'd just made a new discovery, and he turned to me with a sparkling smile.

 

At that time…-.

 

Shigure: "Hyaaa!!!"

 

Shigure screamed and collapsed in front of me.

 

I looked and…-.

 

Puppy: "Woof!"

 

The puppy from before had been hiding in the field of flowers and jumped out onto Shigure's leg.

 

OO: "It's the puppy from before!"

 

The puppy didn't seem to be carrying the dagger it had run off with.

 

OO: "There there, good boy. Can you take us to where you left the dagger?"

 

I pet the puppy's head and spoke kindly to it…-.

 

Puppy: "Woof!"

 

It barked enthusiastically, and then ran off somewhere.

 

OO: "Ah! Wait!! Shigure, we have to follow it! Shigure…?"

 

Shigure was still on the ground, his face pale and taking deep breaths.

 

OO: "Ah."

 

And then before long, the puppy was gone, deep into the forest.

 

OO: "…there it goes. Shigure, are you alright?"

 

I reached out my hand, but he just curled in on himself.

 

OO: "Shigure? It's alri-…"

 

Shigure: "I'm… no good…"

 

OO: "Eh?"

 

His voice was quiet and shaking.

 

Shigure: "I'm… pathetic. Even though I'm a guy. I'm not brave like the princes from other countries…and I'm a crybaby…that's

why even Father is disgusted with me."

 

Shigure let out a small sigh, and his shoulders slumped.

 

Shigure…

 

[CHOICE]

• Even so, that's fine (SUN)

• That's not true (MOON)

​

 

I remembered Shigure, saving that puppy even while the rain pounded down on him.

​

Shigure: "Yeah, it looks like it stepped in the drain and hurt its leg."

 

Shigure: "It called out in a weak howl and I was worried…"

​

OO: "You say you're not brave…but I think you're a wonderful person."

 

Shigure: "OO… That's the first time anyone has said that to me."

 

Shigure looked at me, and then smiled in delight.

 

Shigure: "That puppy… its leg… looks all better. I'm glad."

 

See…you're such a kind person Shigure.

 

His smile sparkled beneath the sun.

 

And I thought the world after the rain was beautiful, from the bottom of my heart.
