On the day the snow fluttering down, I found you.“…Have we ever met somewhere?”The person opens his deep crimson eyes wide…In this beautiful and cruel world — the fate with you begins to revolve.CHAPTER 01As I breathe in the air that contained the fluttering down snow, the cold that could freeze the heart erodes my body.But, I can’t stop here and just solely run through the corridor where the moonlight doesn’t even reach.A dazzling scent of blood that wafts through the air from outside mercilessly stirring up my heart.I continue to run, run, and run…and then.As if I was guided by something, I step inside a strange room and lay my hands on the closet door.While opening the door in front of me, lukewarm tears spilled from my eyes — MC “…!”(Just now…a dream…?)As I get up and look around, a familiar scenery spreading out, And the room filled with tender morning sun that had just risen, as if to bring me back to reality from my dream.I wipe out my eyes that are wet with tears with the back of my hands, and my mind is puzzled.(…It was a strange dream, such dream that felt so realistic that it tightened my heart.)(Come to think of it, even the night I just came to this mansion, I had a dream which hinted at something.)(I’m sure I had a dream like this —)The knocks at the door interrupt my thought, and when I reply…Napoleon “Good morning, Mimi.”MC “Napoleon! What happened to you? You rarely get up at this hour.”Napoleon “You would always wake me up, so today consider this as a return favor.”Let me do something unusual today…muttering, Napoleon approaches me and looks into my face.Napoleon “Since today, you’ll be leaving this mansion.”Napoleon’s words vividly brings back the memory of that crescent night.Napoleon “What are you doing there?”MC “…Who’s there?”MC “Pardon. Do you know how to open this door? I’m trying to get back to musée.”Napoleon “What’s that? ‘Get back?’ You’re not telling me you came through that door?”Just one month after I got lost in this world…I’m going through the door again and return to my original world.(Despite thinking about wanting to go back so much, it’s strange though. To think I feel lonely to leave everyone now.)The hand that protected me from the first day strokes and tousles my hair, in order to comfort my sentiment.MC “Wah,,,!”Napoleon “If you’re sad, you have to enjoy our last time spend together to the fullest.”MC “Eh…?”Napoleon “The usual you would say it like that, right? …Come on, let’s go. Everyone’s been waiting.”MC “Yeah…!”I spend the lively day like usual with everyone, and at the moment the waning moon appears in the sky, I stand in front of the door leading to my original world, with only one bag.Arthur “Oh-oh, is Ai-chan possibly crying? How cute~”Isaac “I-It’s not that I’m crying! You look lonely yourself, Arthur-san.”Leonardo “Kuku…these guys are so *disorganized to the very end, aren’t they bad, Mimi?”(*締まらない - loose, slovenly, sloppyI shake my head and stare at each and one of them, so that I could engrave them in my memory.(…The time I spent together with everyone who lives in an equal time to eternity might be just a moment.)(But I will never forget this encounter. Forever, and ever…)I feel like I’m going to cry at this rate, so I bow deeply.MC “It was a short time, but thank you for taking care of me! Everyone, please stay healthy…”Comte “Well then, I’ll open the door.”Comte’s hand slowly opens the door…but.Comte “What…is this?”As I follow Comte’s line of sight, there’s — (…What’s this?)The space waves around, and the field of vision shakes violently in front of the sight of the strange mixture of light and darkness.Comte “Everyone, get down!”Napoleon “Mimi, come over here…!”The instant Napoleon pulls my arm, Comte immediately slams the door shut.Napoleon “…What happened?”MC “…”Comte “…Mimi, take this warm tea. Drink and it should calm you down a little.”MC “Thank you, Comte…”I pour the warm tea into my throat in Comte’s room, but the turmoil doesn’t subsided at all.(…The other side of the door should be connected to Louvre Museum, and yet.)MC “Have it ever been like that behind the door…?” Comte “I’d jumped over space and time many times over since I built that door…but this kind of thing is the first for me.”Comte “I can open that door again in a month. But…I don’t know whether it could go back to how it was.”(…Such thing.)(Then, I can’t return to my original world for a while, I suppose…?)(Um, that’s still way better.) — Better than the possibility of never going back, ever again.As I was attacked by anxiety that feels like slowly filling up from the bottom of my stomach…Comte “Mimi…I promised to send you back safely without fail on the day you got lost in this world.”Comte “But even then…”I’m surprised by his spilled straining voice. (…I was preoccupied and engrossed about it myself, but I’m sure everyone is feeling shaken too.)And if I look anxious, everyone would try to do something about it.Even if it’s a problem without a solution.(Because everyone in this mansion is…nothing but strong and extremely kind people.)After spending a month, everyone became so precious — that’s why.(I don’t want to make everyone sad or worried by showing an anxious face. Then, what I’m going to do is —)MC “Don’t look like that, Comte. I have only a favor to ask of you.”Comte “What is it, just say the word.”MC “Can you take care of me in this mansion again for a while?”The next day after my way to return was shut, my time’s beginning to move again.My life for a month and the first day in the mansion starts to move again as if nothing had happened yesterday. MC “I’m going shopping!”While accompanied by Leonardo-san who said he had business to take care of, we walk around the city that’s engulfed by the signs of winter.Leonardo “Well then, cara mia. I’m going to finish my errand, so let’s meet up here again.”Leonardo “This era is still dangerous, so make sure to walk in busy streets with lots of people, okay?”MC “Yes, I’ll be careful.”As Leonardo-san takes a step forward, he gazes at me with his amber eyes and opens his lips…Leonardo “…Are you all right?”(…Is it okay to be alone, not that he asks out of worry of me going by myself, isn’t he?)Since I could feel his kindness from the trivial words, I show him a big smile.MC “I’m all right, be careful too, Leonardo-san!”Leonardo “Yeah, see you again.”By the time I’m going outside as I finished buying all the ingredients I had discussed with Sebastian after parting from Leonardo-san…(Ah…)When I feel a cold touch on my cheek and look up at the sky, pure white snow fluttering down.(No wonder it ought to be cold since morning…)The snow that keeps falling as if it’d forgotten to stop, applying white make up on the city in the blink of an eye.While even the air is dyed white, people going back and forth unfolding their colorful umbrellas.The moment I’m about to open my umbrella…(…?)As people come and go walking in a quick pace and holding umbrellas, like colorful flowers blooming in the white world, I was captivated by a person who stops walking and stands alone.The person suddenly turns his gaze towards the sky without holding an umbrella…He’s just staring at the sky with fluttering down snow.(…Frightening, yet a beautiful person. It’s as if he’s a snow spirit…)(However…)The profile looking up at the sky somehow tightened the middle of my heart tightly. The profile is so painful that it almost breaks my heart just by looking at him…But everyone just passing by, as if they couldn’t see the person standing still.It seems that somehow he’s the only person left behind in the flowing time…I was struck by the feeling of him being separated/detached from this world…my legs start to move on their own.One step, to one step closer…I unfold the umbrella I’m holding, and hold it out to protect the person from the falling snow.The bright red umbrella obstructing the view of the white world.And before I thought about it, the words fall out from my mouth.MC “What’s happened, for you to have such a lonely face?”The man with crimson eyes “…”He slowly turns and that crimson eyes straightly catches hold of me,And he opens his eyes wide.(…What’s wrong, I wonder?)That person’s just staring at me as if he forgot to breathe.MC “Emm…”The man with crimson eyes “Hey.”The man with crimson eyes “…Have we ever met somewhere?” -- source link
