Character Story 3: All I Wish For Is Your Smiles


Translated by NONSTOPMOP

After finishing the job they took on together, Yuuki and Hiyori begin returning to town.

Hiyori
Wheeew...! I'm beat! Good thing we were able to finish up! It's thanks to your help, Kishi-kun!

Hiyori
We've got the time for it, so I wanna hurry back and have a nice rest.

Hiyori
Ah, I can see the Sol Tower! Just a bit more before we reach town!

Hiyori
...Oh right, the time we met was under the Sol Tower, right?

Hiyori
I couldn't forget what happened in that dream... And before I knew it, the three of us were just there.

Hiyori
At first I thought that, getting to the top of the Sol Tower and having your wish granted was just a fairy-tale... But I stopped thinking that after that dream.

Hiyori
I don't really know why, but we just ended up being able to believe that it was real... I'm sure that's how it is for Yui-chan and Rei-san too.

Hiyori
That's why I decided to really give it my all. To grant my wish...

Yuuki
1. Your wish?

Hiyori
My wish...? So that's...

Hiyori
For us to have a world where everyone can always smile. ...That's my wish!

Hiyori
Of course that includes Yui-chan, Rei-san, and Kishi-kun... But I want the people around the world to smile!

Yuuki
1. Will that make you smile?

Hiyori
Me...? Um... I think so.

Hiyori
...Huh? Just now, why couldn't I say "it would?"

Hiyori
...Oh. I just wanted to make "everyone" smile. But, I wasn't a part of that "everyone..."

Hiyori
I get it... You were worried about me. ...But even still, that's my wish! Even if I can't be smiling, if everyone else is, then that's fine!

Yuuki
1. I'll make sure you smile too.

Hiyori
Me smile...? You'll make sure I smile too?

Hiyori
...I see. If you'll do that for me, then there's nothing to worry about! Thanks! Hug!

Yuuki
Soft...

Hiyori
Really? You're... unexpectedly tough!

Hiyori
Oh, sorry! Too tight? I was so happy, so I just... Ehehe.

Hiyori
Just now, you said you'd protect me. That makes me really happy.

Hiyori
If you're by my side, I feel like, that alone would let me smile anytime!

Hiyori
I, wonder why I thought that?

Hiyori
...! Wh-What? When I look at you, my heart gets all tight...

Hiyori
My heart's all hot and painful... But I don't dislike it...

Hiyori
I wonder, what's this feeling...?

Having let her thoughts slip out, Hiyori thought about the answer to her question, but the day ended with her not finding out.
