Rein: Isn't this chapter all about you Bright sama? It's your time to shine!
Bright: Yes… But Ome said I'll be voicing all my feelings about you… What if she adds something weird? No!
Ome: *acting like Rein* Bright sama's feelings toward me? Oh, what do I do? I'm so embarrassed!
Rein: Ome! I'm not thinking anything like that!
Ome: Oh ho! Really? Why's your face glowing then?
Bright: Headmistress! Did you add anything weird-"
Ome: If you're worrying about that, I'd have to say not really… But I have to admit, your long speech is pretty blunt.
Bright: Why'd you make it so a long?
Ome: Because I'm making sure the crowd knows every bit of how much you-"
Bright: Ah! Don't say that!
Rein: What is it Ome?
Ome: You wanna know? You see it's-"
Bright: Ome! *starts chasing Ome*
Ome: I'm busy here so Rein do the disclaimer! *happily running around*
Rein: Ome doesn't own Fushigiboshi! Let's start the story! Why's Bright sama flipping out? *looks confused*
Bright's POV
I wonder why? It's already been 2 hours since Rein has been put under a spell that could cause her to sleep forever but I just got the picture. Why do I start to feel
guilty now instead of when I was talking to the Headmistress? I looked at Rein. She didn't look relaxed at all. It seemed as if she was going to cry and second now. If
only I built up the courage to confess to her without using Fine. I just wanted to make a perfect declaration of how much I love her but it was my fault that she this happened. Tears were coming out of my eyes. Really, I am really useless in this kind of situation aren't I?
"I'm sorry Rein… I am the worst! I wanted to make you happy but I hurt you instead." I held her small hand. It was so tiny that it seemed it would soon break. I tried to be strong.
"Do you remember our first encounter? It was a meeting I'll never forget. I was so flustered when I woke up in your room. I was actually pretending to sleep. I thought
that if I woke up I would either be hurt or dead because, what princess wouldn't be steamed if they saw a boy they didn't know sleeping on their bed? Did you know? I
liked Fine a lot in the beginning when we all met. I thought she was so charming with her sporty personality. She was very lovable. But then I kept thinking of you. I
wondered why myself. You were like a polar opposite of Fine. You love dresses and makeovers. You were always looking on the bright side. Your smile was starting to
attract me. I might have fallen in love with you when we were at the beach. You see, I had taken a bite off your fork but I also drank part of your blueberry ramune. I
didn't want to tell you because I was embarrassed. And I even tumbled on top of you! I hope you didn't feel too uncomfortable. My heart also skipped a beat when I
saw you in your sea green yukata. Maybe it was then that I had my eyes on you instead of Fine. I felt my heart beat faster and faster as I was trying to sort out all of
what I did. I even lost sight of my senses when we were locked in together. I was captivated by your sleeping face, I guess. When I think of it now, my heart starts to beat faster. See?" I lifted her hand and held it over my heart. More teardrops rolled down my face.
"How unmanly… I shouldn't be crying when you're in this kind of state. Did you think I was heroic when we were in the test of courage? I really hope so… Doesn't every
boy want to look cool in front of the girl he loves? I was actually overjoyed when we had passed the test and everyone was celebrating. I still hadn't sorted out my
feelings by then but I am sure of my emotions for you now. I for got to mention that it always amused me when you started daydreaming about the 2 of us being
together. Thinking back on it now, I feel reassured that I was somewhere in your heart. But I have to say it was fun… Being able to smile at each other, laugh with
each other, communicate like great friends and feel each other's warmth. Rein, after I met you, you became my ray of light. I'm sorry for taking your first kiss without
even thinking of your feelings. So please no matter how bad of a prince I am and how unworthy I am for you, open your eyes for me…" A teardrop fell on Rein's face
and she moved a bit. That gave me hope. Rein was still in this world. I kissed her right after with the courage I gained from her. It felt just like before. I could feel the
warmth of Rein's lips. The dark magic around Rein disappeared so my kiss did work. Even in this kind of case, Rein is still some kind of help to me. I want Rein to wake
up. Even though she may like me, I don't think I can return her feelings with the terrible experience I put her through. Maybe I should give up Rein for the sake of her safety… It's the right thing to do isn't it?
