"Hey, what do I look like these days from Orculus?

That's a weird question. You didn't expect the day to come when the prince would hear your impression.

"I don't know, I think he sounds very princely."

"" Prince... well, I guess so. "

The prince, who looked somewhat tired, asked an even weirder question.

"Have I been talking about anything weird lately?

"... hmm? I don't know. But lately, you seem very silent."

I can't believe I'm talking properly. It's close to last spring. I honestly don't know if they ask me.

"... you did"

If you insist, now is the time to say a lot of weird things, but I wonder what really happened.

Speaking of weird, it's also a lot weird to have one prince in a place like this.

"Speaking of which, why were you here?

"Oh.... Gabriella said she wants to act separately on today's astronomical observations"

I was given a name and remembered. Yes, you'd be the worst if they saw you with the prince.

But why are you acting differently?

A moment of crisis chilled in, but more curiosity prevailed than that.

"Gabriella was close to Brother Ile recently, so I thought she was forced to ignore the rules and pair with you.... but for some reason, the pair said it was better to stay with me. The truth is, I was told to wait on the main building's roof balcony"

Separating words for a moment, Prince Aguiresta continued with a slightly trembling voice as he looked up into the sky.

"But I haven't been free in a long time... so I didn't go that way. I thought no one would come here, so I came."

How disturbing.

If you think about summing up what you've been saying, this could be it.

Isn't the "theory of being brainwashed" that I thought about before finally powerful?

But when it comes to brainwashing, I don't really understand "freedom now".

At least it looks sane now. Is there a time when it is weak or strong?

It's a mystery, but it bothered me how I spoke. Anyway, it's a matter of having a conversation once a year.

I honestly don't know how much more to go into, although I stayed on this occasion wondering how weird things were.

But...... seeing how incredibly grown up from the arrogant prince at the beginning of school, I'm sure he's weak. Or is this what it is?

My attitude towards me is also quite soft, so maybe for some reason, it's not Gabriella's argument anymore...

"For the first time in a long time, what does freedom mean?

I ask thoughtfully.

But the prince shook his neck loosely to the side and said, "It means as it is... no, forget it".

You're not going to talk any more, blurry up at the night sky and shut up.

I'm so curious, but I also feel it's different to listen more persistently.

On thought, the prince opened his eyes slightly and raised his voice low.

I see the end of the prince's gaze following his voice, but the same darkness appears to be spreading.

But the next moment I blinked, a glittering line was drawn in the night sky.

"Ah... Meteors!

The stars were starting to descend in the sky I looked up.

Today the moon is near the crescent moon and the sky is dark. Besides the excellent weather conditions with no clouds.

Unlike the skies of previous life, a pure night sky has not been invaded by artificial light.

Starscraps starting to descend there were so beautiful that they certainly seemed to have magical powers.

It is likely to be seen by it, but what concerns me is the demonic stone rather than the shooting star itself.

Removing some demonic stones from the porch, they were slowly glowing bright and pale.

"Wow..."

The demonic stones arranged on the palms were each different in how they glowed depending on the type. Does this mean there's a difference in the impact it's taking from the meteoroid cluster?

Tension jumped on the strange phenomenon and I couldn't shut up very much as a mumble, laughing at the prince.

"It's strange, it's beautiful...! See, this looks like fluorescent."

Passing the most beautifully glowing peridot now, the prince rushed to receive it.

A prince who looked at it wonderfully for a while, but I guess he associated the stars from glittering bright stones.

In the meantime, I pinched it and knocked it into the night sky.

Beyond the bright, clear yellow-green shards, you can see the shooting stars shining brightly.

"... oh, that's beautiful"

The prince, who said so, narrowed his eyes and then laughed slightly pleasantly.

Doing so, he's like a frivolous angel.... I thought it was just a little cute or something.

- But it doesn't last long when it's almost like that.

Because from afar, I heard a slight hysterical scream.

The prince who heard it caught his smile because of it. And close your eyes, and then stand up slowly.

"It's Gabriella. You must be angry because I wasn't on the roof balcony."

The aura that I don't want to go to is amazing. I wonder when he was such a mess.

"I'll give this back."

That's what I've been trying to stop the prince from giving me Peridot.

Tell the proper prince that stone jinx.

"Peridot's demonic stone is also known as the Sun Stone. You think you can protect yourself from the bad stuff and empower me to move on? … so I'll give it to you"

It's supposed to be about occult or obscure, but even obscure in this world may have real effect.

I wondered if Gabriella would find out if I was involved in this. I gave it to her.

Prince Aguiresta has leaned down.

"The prince?"

Mm-hmm. What's up? When he thought and peered in, the prince missed his face.

"... I'll take it"

That said the Prince's ears looked a little red.

Could it have made you quite happy?

"It's a secret for Gabriella."

If they find out, they won't kill you this time. When I laughed and said as I thought so, the prince nodded small.

The prince, who kept his hands on the skylight and tried to leave with his legs down, once stopped moving.

Squeeze small without looking at this one.

"... sorry"

When he said that, he jumped off into the attic to escape.
