The rain, as Arthur said, stopped perfectly in about an hour, and the sky had a beautiful blue sky as if it were a lie.

Silvi, who in the end kept kissing Arthur while he was frightened by the rain and thunder, finally returned to me when the rain stopped and was bored with embarrassment.

(Wow... Me, what are you doing... You know, kiss me and comfort me all the time while I'm scared of thunder...)

For a moment, it was such a sweet time to think that there had been such an event.

Arthur was always kind and never did more than kiss. Really, he only did it to calm Sylvie, who was frightened by lightning. That's about it, if you look at his attitude.

"Um... Arthur. Thanks........."

I definitely stopped worrying about the sound of thunder, thanks to Arthur. Shivering with shame, Arthur stroked her hair as Silvi thanked her.

"Weren't you scared?

"Ugh, yeah."

"Good for you then"

To Arthur, who turns a gentle smile on me, I wondered if Silvi would even have a heart attack.

(Arthur... Arthur looks too good...)

Arthur was much sweeter even when he was hiding who he was and treating me with respect, but I still don't think he was as good as he is now. Is this the sweetness to your lover?

Always, when treated this way, Sylvie's heart doesn't keep it.

Arthur said he was holding on to his thrilling chest.

"Looks like the Diedrich guys picked you up. Silvi. This has happened, but if I could, would you go out with me again? I'd like to start over if I could."

From Arthur's point of view, I guess I feel like my date has been ruined because of it.

But Sylvie didn't feel bad or anything at all, and on the contrary, as much as she liked Arthur better than ever before.

There's no need for Arthur to apologize anywhere.

"I don't need to start over. Well... I had a good time, and if you normally invited me, I'd go out with you next..."

To be ashamed and honest, Arthur looked at Silvi as surprised.

"Really? You let me stop you in a place like this?

"No one knows the weather. Arthur kept me from getting anxious. So... that's enough."

"Silvi"

"Well, that's what I'm talking about!

I think it's starting to feel kind of sweet. I was forced to finish the story thinking I wasn't good at this kind of thing. After that, if only we could just go home. The clothes are still wet and disgusting. That's what I thought, and Silvi realized, uh, it was outrageous.

"Hey, hey... Arthur. I just realized."

"What?"

Silvi's voice was trembling. To Arthur, who stares at her surprisingly, Silvi says in dismay.

"There's nothing the rain can do about it, but if it's about clothes, you used magic to dry it, didn't you? I didn't think I needed to wear any of these wet clothes forever..."

"Ah..."

Arthur was also pompous. Again, he didn't seem to notice either.

When Arthur put his hand on his forehead, he shook his neck sideways many times saying he couldn't believe it.

"... true. Didn't notice."

"Isn't it?

We both said we could use magic, but I never thought of it before. I guess he still lacked calm due to the sudden heavy rain and thunder.

Arthur activates magic. Wind magic. The two clothes and hair quickly dried beautifully.

……

"... you're a fool for what you say."

Speaking to Arthur while he was horrified by the feel of his dry clothes, he agreed that he was at all, too.

"Really, I didn't notice at all.... I'm sorry, Sylvie. I wish I hadn't caught a cold..."

"There's no need for Arthur to apologize. Me too... I just really noticed something. But I can't believe we could use magic, but we both stayed wet and put up with each other... hehe... that's a really stupid story"

"... Silvi, don't tell me. I am now fiercely embarrassed"

He was a flashy Arthur, but Silvi just had stranger feelings coming in.

"No, because... heh... we look stupid... I'm sure I'll never forget this. I'm sure you'll remember no matter how old you are. At that time, you and I were dumb..."

"Right. I certainly can't forget. This is the first time I've been born with such a bad attitude."

"Right. Phew..."

"Knock..."

It kind of makes me laugh oddly. Even Arthur laughed out, as Silvi caught him. The two of us are laughing, and Diedrich and the others are running.

"Your Highness! Are you okay... that...? Why are you laughing?

"Why... hey?

"Oh, I don't want to say much. I just said it was a secret between us."

Arthur nodded as Silvi glanced at him.

I don't want a third party to hear such a dumb story.
