Why couldn't he have had some other cruel fate?
Len enjoyed Miku's sudden embrace, yet he had no idea why. However, he didn't enjoy her sudden scream of excitement. "Hello?" He asked in confusion.
Quickly Miku pulled away from their hug and grabbed his hands. "It worked!" She cried. "My parents loathe your existence!"
"Miku, I want to let you know that those words do not scare me whatsoever!" Len yelled in a sarcastic manner.
"Silly Len, don't you see? Mama and Papa have allowed me and dear Prince Kaito to be in love!" She shrieked in excitement. She then sighed. "And I know this must be hard for you, considering how deeply in love you are with me. But this is-"
In annoyance, the blonde peasant clenched his fists. "For the last damn time, I am in no way in love with you."
Miku giggled. "Well then this is great. It won't hurt you when we go our separate ways. We can pretend like we never had any relationship with each other at all! I'm just the delicate Princess Miku Hatsune of Pure, and you're just one of my people living here. And if you somehow find a way to bother me, I have the ability to chop off your head. Won't it be wonderful?"
For what seemed like a few minutes, Len blinked only a couple times, in shock and disbelief. "So… what you're saying is that you want to say 'goodbye'… forever?"
"Well, yeah, it'll make us both happy. But before I go," She handed him a small pouch, "here is your final payment! I even tripled it just for you."
Why did all of this feel like unbearable horror to Len? First of all, how could being with the 'Elegant Bug' make the Princess so overjoyed? And how could never having to talk to the 'Smelly, Ugly Peasant' only add to that happiness?
Before Len could even thank her for this gift of money, Princess Miku held out her hand in a sophisticated manner. "Well then, peasant, it was nice doing business with you. Your efforts are greatly appreciated" She giggled, as if this whole 'goodbye' was cute.
"Uhm, yeah…" his voice drifted off. "It was nice doing business with you, too, Princess Miku."
Moments had passed after Miku had skipped away to her palace. How could he have just let her go like that? It was like he had just lost an important part of his life. And it would never come back. Of course it wasn't until Rin started laughing behind him that he was relieved of his inner thoughts.
"You know," she started, "if you had just had a little singing crab, this would have had a complete turn of events!"
Tossing the bag of gold coins to her, Len raised a brow. "What the heck would I do with a singing crab?"
Rin thought for a few seconds as she caught the pouch. "You know, like, it would make you realize that you really do love her. And then you would kiss her and live happily ever after. The End."
He groaned. "I don't love her. And you're helping at all, smart one."
"Fine, Mr. Smarty Pants." She mocked. "But next time – if there is one, I mean – listen to your heart, not your thick head."
