Only the voice was heard clearly.
The voice was very reassuring and unsuitable for this occasion.
However, Karina, called the princess, shook her head.
I thought there was no princess who wasn't as good as herself.
"Don't lie, I can hear the voice of the spirit, I know. The light spirit is whispering, you're the Princess Carina."
It's a funny story to know the identity because you can hear the spirit's voice.
It must be a joke to encourage yourself.
"... Say, yes, or, yes ..."
The voice was so small that I was surprised.
"Oh, don't try to talk. To be straightforward, at first I thought I was already dead."
Even in the dark, I could see the sea of red blood spreading all the way to the eyes of Carina.
If the sense of smell remained, she would not have tolerated the smell of full death and blood.
At first glance, she saw why she had turned down painfully and passed away as she fled.
(Honest person. I ... it looks like it's dead ...)
However, I was sad when it was put into words again.
"Princess Carina of Dalis. If you are affirmative about the question you are about to ask, I want you to blink slowly."
Suddenly something warm touched her left hand.
The boy seemed to have squeezed the left hand of Karina between the rubble.
The voice of the boy permeates the body comfortably among the five senses that are being lost, and the body of Karina who rapidly loses heat is given a certain warmth from the left hand.
Only a strange boy kept her in the world.
"I don't really want to say this, but you seemed to want to die before."
The boy's words are horribly cruel.
"Um. So I'll help you from now on ... but isn't it a problem?"
――― It was sweet enough to be stunned.
● ● ●
By the end of hearing the boy's words, her world had turned dark.
Carina's eyes did not show any of the scenery she had seen before.
People passing by quickly, falling water drops, dark or dim lights, everything has disappeared from sight.
She can't see anything but a boy anymore.
I don't even know if I'm breathing.
She stood on the edge of a shaking brink, near the border of death.
(... hey, why can't you hear only your voice?-I can't hear anything around you anymore ...)
The words of the boy who said he would help.
I didn't want to ask how.
He said he would help.
Karina felt the strong will of the words.
It was not the theory.
It was not intuitive.
Carina slowly closed her eyes, being moved by the emotions she could not describe.
"Princess Carina. You only have to accept my magic, are you getting sleepy little by little?"
Carina is aware of her left hand, which is slightly below the rubble.
The warmth given by the boys made Carina realize that she was still alive.
And, as the boy says, sleepiness gradually attacks.
(That's true ... but ... I'm getting sleepy ... but)
Before I met the boy, I was prepared for death.
(……scary scary)
was scary.
It has become real.
To die.
Finally she noticed.
Goodbye.
With everything so far.
so.
Crouching beside me crushed by rubble, face, name, boy (you).
"I'm not saying goodbye. I'm saying I'll help you, don't worry about anything, because I have a track record. Actually you're the second princess ? "
It was a relaxed voice, as if he was easing a worried baby.
Carina's consciousness sank as though she had fallen into a pleasant slumber.
The boy's face, which was not clearly visible from the beginning, has become more dim.
Carina was very sad.
Because this may be the last.
"Oh, uh ... you, uh ... uh, uh ... tell me, what?"
Carina's small voice did arrive.
The boy moved his mouth slowly, character by character.
But I couldn't hear.
Kalina's ears had lost her connection to the world.
So Carina threw her tears in her eyes and shook her head.
Carina stares at the boy, desperately resisting the rush of drowsiness.
The boy whispered, whispering in the nice ears of Carina.
(……… Yeah… I remembered ……)
Carina repeated his name over and over again.
Repeat over and over.
I longed to never forget that name.
(……Ah)
And she was surprised.
The boy's face was up close and his profile was clearly visible.
At the end of the last, I had a rest.
So I said it.
I didn't want to fall asleep.
"... More, closer ... come ... I want to see your face ..."
A true tone without mixing.
It was the smallest voice ever, but it seemed to reach a boy who was approaching very close.
"Can you see this?"
Blurred outlines become clearer.
The distance between them decreased as the faces touched each other.
"……Yup"
Carina's actions from that point exceeded the boy's expectations.
"---e"
Something soft touched the boy's lips.
(I can only do this ... but I can't do it ... but it's my first time ...)
Carina kissed the boy with her last effort.
(It's really cool ... you are ... kissing ...
The boy was surprised and rushed away.
Seeing that, Karina loosened her cheeks.
She closed her eyelids with satisfaction as if the mischief was successful.
It was difficult even to be conscious.
(Yeah, it's not ... it's okay ... I don't want to be terrible ... I just want you who found me ... I want to be a guardian ... I don't know ...
As she slept, she lost consciousness.

Slow Denning saw a princess in this country that fell asleep.
He will lose his blood and will not feel uncomfortable even if he is called dead.
At first, Slow also thought Carina was already dead.
The heartbeat is thin and it's not funny when it stops.
There was nowhere near, and those who responded to Cardinal Maldini's call probably went to the consulate.
In the darkness, he also felt as if he were left alone in the world.
"... absolutely. The princess of Dalis is surprisingly bold. I didn't expect my first kiss to be Charlotte."
He traces his lips with her finger.
"And your first kiss ..."
――― I only had the taste of blood.
