Chapter 146: Girls long for princes

{TL: By Creed}


“Hah, hah, hah…”

I run through the snowy town.

Out of breath, my body feels heavy.

Even so, I keep running with all my might.

To be honest, there’s no real need to rush this much.

But... I just want to see her as soon as possible.

"Sofia!"

"Oh... Fate."

When I arrive at the park, Sofia, who had come earlier, greets me with a bright smile.

Her smile, like a flower in bloom, is so beautiful.

"S-sorry. Am I late?"

"No, not at all. I just arrived early."

Saying that, Sofia points to the park clock.

Five minutes before the promised time.

It’s true, I’m not late, but…

"Sofia, how long have you been waiting?"

Today, it’s snowing just a little.

Maybe that's why there’s a bit of snow piled on Sofia's head.

"I’ve only been here a short while."

"Um..."

That’s a lie.

It’s definitely a lie.

She must’ve been waiting for at least thirty minutes.

I don’t know why she came so early, but…

I regret making her wait long enough for snow to pile up.

"Um…"

I almost apologize but reconsider.

It’s been a week since we became friends.

Though it's a short time, I’ve come to know that Sofia is a very kind and thoughtful girl.

That’s why, if I apologize, it’ll just make her feel bad.

So…

"There you go."

"Fate?"

"There, there."

I gently pat Sofia’s head.

As I do, I brush off the snow that had gathered on her.

"…"

"Oh."

I messed up.

Touching a girl so casually...

"S-sorry. I didn’t mean to…"

I messed up again.

In the end, I apologized.

"…Hehe."

Sofia laughs.

This time, it’s a slightly troubled smile.

Ugh, I failed…

I made her feel awkward.

"So, what do you want to do today?"

To make up for my mistake, I have to make sure Sofia has a lot of fun.

With that in mind, I ask if there’s anything she wants to do.

"Isn’t there anything you want to do, Fate?"

"Hmm, not really. I’m fine with whatever you want to do, Sofia."

"You always say that and put me first... Is there really nothing you want to do?"

"I’m just happy being with you, Sofia."

It’s only been a week since we met.

You might wonder how I can say something like that after such a short time...

But it’s the truth.

When I’m with Sofia, I naturally find myself smiling.

I feel really excited.

And, though I can’t quite explain it, my heart races.

All of it is so much fun…

I think I want to be with her forever and ever.

"…"

Sofia looks a bit dazed...

Then, her cheeks flush.

"What’s wrong?"

"Huh?"

"Your face is red?"

"Um, well..."

She glances at me briefly.

Her face turns red again.

Then she mutters in a small voice.

"…Fate might be my prince."

"Hmm?"

"You’re the first person who has ever said something like that to me."

"Is that so?"

But why would I be a prince?

I mean, what does being a prince even mean?

"Hehe, girls can be drawn to simple things, you know."

"Um… Sorry, I don’t really understand."

When I say that honestly, Sofia giggles.

Even though I still don’t understand...

It’s okay because Sofia seems happy.

"Well then, shall we play in the snow?"

"Yeah!"

My childhood friend, who I promised to marry in the future, came back as a swordsman.

Chapter 1: The reality that I longed for is harsh and painful {TL: By Creed} "Hey, don't stroll around leisurely, you Useless man!" Insults were flying, and the target was me. "I-I'm... sorry..." My reply came out in gasps, as it should. After all, I was carrying a load that was tens of kilos heavier than my own body. In such a state, I had been walking through the dungeon for hours without a break. It was non-stop. It was only natural that I was out of breath, my clothes drenched in sweat, as if I had been doused in water. I wondered if I was experiencing dehydration; my legs were wobbly, and I felt like I might collapse if I let my guard down. "Hurry up, you slacker! You're practically useless except for carrying stuff," Sigurd, the leader of the A-rank party 'Flarebird,' berated me. He held the title of 'Swordmaster' and was the party's main attacker, constantly in action. "Sigurd, you're such a brute. Fate is so

  Chapter 4 Party formation {TL: By Creed} After that, we changed locations and moved to a different inn and restaurant. Since Sigurd and the others stayed behind, I'm not sure what happened to them, but... It seems like Sigurd took an incredibly powerful blow, so he probably won't wake up for a while. "Sister, I'll have orange juice and a parfait." "..." "What about Fate?" "..." "Fate, what's wrong?" "Huh!?" When asked the question, I snapped back to reality. "Oh, um, yeah. Sorry... um, I'll have coffee, please." "Okay. Orange juice and coffee. And a parfait, right? Please wait a moment." The waitress nodded and left. Alone again, I looked at Sofia once more. "It's been a while, Fate." "...Is it really you, Sofia?" "Yes, it's me. Or does Fate see someone else when Fate looks at me?" "No, it's not like that. I would never mistake my precious

  Chapter 2 childhood friend {TL: By Creed} That was ten years ago. I had a childhood friend who was the same age as me. Her name was Sofia Ascarth. Sofia and I played together every day, and we were so close that we were always together. Every day was so much fun... Filled with smiles. I believed that this happiness would last forever back then, but... Our parting came suddenly. ―――――――――― "I'm sorry... I can't meet Fate anymore." When I tried to play as usual, Sofia had a look on the verge of tears. Did she have a fight with her parents? When I asked what was going on, that was the answer. "Huh? W-what do you mean? You can't meet me anymore..." "Due to my dad's job, we're moving to the capital. So... today will be the last time I can play with Fate." "That's... " It felt like the ground beneath me crumbled and I was falling... Such a terrible shock. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
