❝The compliment made my heart feel all warm and fuzzy inside. However, if there's something that ever bothers me, I will be sure to tell you.
Huh? Is that so? You have a wonderful >
"... Oh. Then I suppose it's good.
No one never said that about my smile."
❝I wasn't bothered in the slightest, I promise. I am very appreciative of the compliment.❞
Responding to his question, the bunny nodded her head.
❝Yes, really. A happy >

As he tightened the hug, Usagi wrapped her arms around him, gently holding onto the prince.
❝Do I? But still, I couldn't possibly do that. He has someone he likes, after all. I don't >
Uriel noticed the tears streaming, and he tightened the hug. Poor Usagi.
"Don't apologise, you did nothing wrong. >
As soon as he embraced her, it was like a dam bursting. Oh, dear... Despite her best efforts, the tears began to stream down her face.
❝I-I apologise... >
As he tightened the hug, Usagi wrapped her arms around him, gently holding onto the prince.
❝Do I? But still, I couldn't possibly do that. He has someone he likes, after all. I don't >
❝Uri...el...❞
❝Uri...el...❞
Almost immediately, Usagi turned around to face him. The bunny had a determined gaze.
❝I couldn't possibly do that. You're here, after all. If I fell asleep after you brushed my tail, I would feel absolutely awful.❞
Even Usagi knows better than to do that. It would >
Uriel soon finished brushing her tail, not wanting to extend this for longer than necessary. This must be embarrassing for her.
"Now that I'm done, you can sleep if you wish to."
Closing her eyes, Usagi basked in the pleasant feeling. It felt so relaxing. Aside from her family, he's the very first person to brush her tail.
❝It feels incredibly nice... I feel like I could fall asleep at any moment.❞
Almost immediately, Usagi turned around to face him. The bunny had a determined gaze.
❝I couldn't possibly do that. You're here, after all. If I fell asleep after you brushed my tail, I would feel absolutely awful.❞
Even Usagi knows better than to do that. It would >
As his soft voice brushed against her ears, the bunny held him a little tighter.
❝Anything... I apologise if my answer isn't what >
His voice sounds softer than usual.
"Anything? You shouldn't say that... there are many things."
Thank goodness he's unable to see her expression. Burying her face further into his shoulder, Usagi gave a timid response.
❝If it's with you, then I am comfortable with anything.❞
As his soft voice brushed against her ears, the bunny held him a little tighter.
❝Anything... I apologise if my answer isn't what >
❝Of course I can. For however long you like, Uriel.❞
Such an adorable request. With an incredibly soft expression, she lifted her hand and gave his head another reassuring pat.
"I was only confused, but... it feels nice. Can you do it for a bit more?"
Seeing his confused expression, Usagi slowly withdrew her hand. Perhaps she should have asked for permission first.
❝Please accept my apologies. Every single time >
❝Of course I can. For however long you like, Uriel.❞
Such an adorable request. With an incredibly soft expression, she lifted her hand and gave his head another reassuring pat.
Hearing his chuckle brought a smile to her face.
❝Perhaps we should come up with different wishes. For the shooting stars, I mean.❞
Uriel chuckled.
"So it seems."
That many. Because he deserves to have all his wishes granted.
❝Is that so? I'm so happy. It would seem both our wishes don't require the shooting >
Hearing his chuckle brought a smile to her face.
❝Perhaps we should come up with different wishes. For the shooting stars, I mean.❞
Honestly, it wasn't her intention to provoke anything in him. Usagi just wanted to help the prince.
❝Why not? I doubt it will be anything bad. What is on your mind right now?❞
His tail wagged a little. But her following words... does she know what she provokes in him?
"I... I couldn't."
Noticing that his expression softened, Usagi continued the soothing motion.
❝I would allow you to do whatever you wished.❞
Honestly, it wasn't her intention to provoke anything in him. Usagi just wanted to help the prince.
❝Why not? I doubt it will be anything bad. What is on your mind right now?❞
❝Of course. I don't think I'm the most photogenic bunny, but I will do my best.❞
Oh, she just came up with an idea. Pressing her thumb and index finger together, Usagi shaped >
"Could I take another photograph, then?"
As soon as the compliment reached her ears, Usagi raised her head, cutely blinking in utter bewilderment. Did he just...?
Once the reality of what had happened sank in, the bunny felt the warmth rush to her cheeks.
❝T-Thank you very much. I wasn't looking at the camera, though. Are you >
❝Of course. I don't think I'm the most photogenic bunny, but I will do my best.❞

❝Because I don't wish to be like that. Fear shouldn't divide us. Although I am just a single bunny, I choose to be the start of the change.
Even one person has the power to >
"I know it's instinctual. So, why would you go against your instinct? You don't have to force yourself for that.
It doesn't feel right."
Ah... No matter what the bunny says to him, it always seems to be the wrong thing. Why is it so difficult for her?
❝It's nothing to do with you, Rojo-san. I promise. Truthfully, I would >

From anyone?❞
To me yes. I can't stand such brightness."
❝I see...❞
After Leona's brief pause, his next sentence made her ears perk up.
❝Really? I am very glad to hear that. I will do my best to make sure you don't have a reason to dislike me.
>
From anyone?❞
Even if they are predators, the bunny doesn't want to make assumptions until she has the opportunity to truly know them.
❝In a bad way?❞
Who wouldn't be scared of a pack of wolves when being one of their possible preys?
"You just are."
If the stutter didn't give it away, the bunny might be a tiny bit scared by the hungry pack of wolves.
❝Huh? Am I? May I ask why?❞
Even if they are predators, the bunny doesn't want to make assumptions until she has the opportunity to truly know them.
❝In a bad way?❞
After shifting her gaze from her own sandcastle to his, the bunny smiled.
❝Very good, Uriel. And here is where it gets difficult. We have >
That's right, he's very unaware.
Uriel follows her instructions, step by step.
"Is this good? I tried to cover it tightly."
Uriel is entirely unaware of how dangerous he is to Usagi's heart.
❝In that case, please copy my actions. Let's begin by shovelling the wet sand into the >
After shifting her gaze from her own sandcastle to his, the bunny smiled.
❝Very good, Uriel. And here is where it gets difficult. We have >
❝Hehe... You don't have to tell me that. I already am. I don't have the slightest inkling of our destination, which makes it even more exciting.❞
"Look forward to it."
❝Hehe... I thought that would be your response. I am very much looking forward to the surprise.❞
❝Hehe... You don't have to tell me that. I already am. I don't have the slightest inkling of our destination, which makes it even more exciting.❞

Once the reality of what had happened sank in, the bunny felt the warmth rush to her cheeks.
❝T-Thank you very much. I wasn't looking at the camera, though. Are you >
It's in that exact moment that he takes a photograph of her.
"Beautiful."
❝Hehe... I don't blame you for wanting to take a photograph. The cakes look very delicious, after all.❞
Usagi was oblivious, failing to realise he wanted a >

It was a relief that the lullaby seemed to be working. Usagi needs to rest now.
The bunny's gaze dropped to their interlocked hands as his thumb gently stroked her skin. Despite her current situation, Usagi couldn't be happier. The one she loved was right beside her.
❝Thank you.❞
Enjoying his >
Noticing that his expression softened, Usagi continued the soothing motion.
❝I would allow you to do whatever you wished.❞
His expression softened, feeling the thumb caressing his skin.
❝Much better. You are very welcome, Uriel.❞
Almost immediately, her face lit up with a bright smile.
Noticing that his expression softened, Usagi continued the soothing motion.
❝I would allow you to do whatever you wished.❞
Seeing his confused expression, Usagi slowly withdrew her hand. Perhaps she should have asked for permission first.
❝Please accept my apologies. Every single time >
"Right."
He blinked, not expecting the gesture.
That didn't sound very convincing at all... Realising that Uriel was still disappointed in himself, a small frown tugged at her lips. Is there anything she can do to make him feel better?
❝I insist.❞
Usagi reached >

Thank goodness he's unable to see her expression. Burying her face further into his shoulder, Usagi gave a timid response.
❝If it's with you, then I am comfortable with anything.❞
His hand gently caressed her back.
Oh, the bunny felt his arms tighten around her. A soft smile pulled at her lips as she leaned her head against his shoulder during the embrace.
Usagi is >

Closing her eyes, Usagi basked in the pleasant feeling. It felt so relaxing. Aside from her family, he's the very first person to brush her tail.
❝It feels incredibly nice... I feel like I could fall asleep at any moment.❞
Uriel tries his best to make her smile. Anything he can.
The prince is being very careful when brushing her tail. He doesn't want to cause any discomfort.
Raising a hand to her mouth, Usagi laughed softly. He always knew exactly how to make her smile.
As he gently brushed her tail, a faint blush crept across her cheeks. It made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Usagi could get used to this...

❝Is that so? I'm so happy. It would seem both our wishes don't require the shooting >
That many? It's not necessary.
"Consider it granted. I wish for the same."
That's true. Uriel can have as many wishes as he likes.
❝Even after your graduation, I would like for us to remain friends. Do you think my wish could be granted...?❞
That many. Because he deserves to have all his wishes granted.
❝Is that so? I'm so happy. It would seem both our wishes don't require the shooting >
If the stutter didn't give it away, the bunny might be a tiny bit scared by the hungry pack of wolves.
❝Huh? Am I? May I ask why?❞
It wasn't meant to be a compliment. But is she so into being praised?
"You're an odd one."
Her eyes widened at the sudden compliment. Even though she knew he meant nothing by it, she couldn't stop the warmth from flooding her cheeks.
The bunny isn't immune to >

❝Really? I am very glad to hear that. I will do my best to make sure you don't have a reason to dislike me.

"I do. They're annoyin' and spoiled brats."
A pause. "But I don't have a reason yet to dislike you.
I'd rather not be sparkly, thanks."
❝Do you dislike sparkly people...?❞
Her ears drooped ever so slightly as she asked the question. Usagi barely knew the lion, but she'd be sad >
❝I see...❞
After Leona's brief pause, his next sentence made her ears perk up.

Ah... No matter what the bunny says to him, it always seems to be the wrong thing. Why is it so difficult for her?

Why is she faltering? It's just the normal thing for him. Nothing else. >
Just as Usagi was about to take another bite, she faltered at his words. Alone... That hurt her heart. No one deserves to be alone. Rojo, included.
❝That simply won't do. Please invite me the next time you have cake, Rojo-san. I >
