Purple moonlight illuminating Ziel and Princess Aishia who enjoyed the festival.
"Ziel saw there many unique foods that I had never seen!!
" Princess Aishia points towards the food store smiling happily.
"Ziel saw there a lot of games let's go there and try to play.
" Princess Aishia pulled Ziel around like a little girl.
Princess Aishia usually has an adult atmosphere. Tonight she became the girl of her age. Ziel just followed where Princess Aishia wanted to go.
"Ziel see that game of catching the goldfish. According to history, that is the game was brought by a hero who was summoned hundreds of years ago. Let's try to play!
" She invited ziel with passion. .
"All right.
" Ziel replied briefly.
In front of that place princess, Aisha was impatient and immediately wanted to play.
"Please for two people!
" Princess Aishia shouted at the owner of the place.
"Oya oya ojou-san are you enjoy the festival with your lover?
" The uncle teased Princess Aishia.
Hearing what the owner of the place said, Princess Aishia's face reddened. She was confused and panicked as to how to answer.
"This is holding your net. If you can catch 5 fish you will get this goldfish doll as a gift.
" The owner of the place pointed to the main prize in the form of a large goldfish doll on display at the top.
"I'll get it!!!
" Princess Aishia said excitedly. Ziel could only shake his head at Princess Aishia's childlike attitude.
Princess Aishia tried to net the goldfish closest to her. But when she tried to grab it. The net was torn and the fish ran away. Then she asked for another new net. This time she was aiming for a big goldfish. But the net was torn again and the goldfish fell into the pond splashing water towards Princess Aishia so that her robe and clothes were wet.
"Aaahh... My clothes are all wet!!
" She screamed because she was hit by a splash of water.
"You're playing too excited. Take off your robe and put on my robe. If you keep wearing it when you go around. You will be cold and sick.
" Ziel gave his robe to Princess Aishia.
"Yes, you and I don't have any spell to dry it out. I can still try three more times to catch the goldfish.
" She replacing her robe with a ziel robe And start fishing again.
"You still want to try it?
" Ziel was confused because Princess Aishia still wanted to play.
"Of course. Because I want that doll!!
" Princess Aishia said excitedly pointing at the large golden fish doll.
"Well, I'll teach you how to catch that fish.
" Ziel held Princess Aishia's hand that holding the net.
Because they were so close, Princess Aishia could feel Ziel's body heat and hear the sound of his breath. Princess Aishia felt her heart pounding very quickly. She felt heat all over her body. Ziel was unaware of Princess Aishia's change in attitude. Ziel tries to catch the closest goldfish. He quickly and carefully trawled and moved the goldfish into a small container.
"You have to catch it like that. What. Do you understand Princess?
" He showed her how to catch it to princess Aishia.
"Um...
" Princess Aishia simply nodded with a face flushed like a tomato.
"Please give me the net.
" Ziel asked for a net from the owner's uncle.
After receiving the net, he quickly trawls the net to the nearest goldfish. In a short time, he was finally able to catch 5 fish in his small container. He then gave the goldfish to the owner of the place and asked for the gift.
"I got five fish. Quickly give me the doll.
" Ziel handed the small container with 5 goldfish to the uncle and asked for his reward.
"Okay...Well. I will go bankrupt if everyone likes you.
" The uncle just sighed and gave him a doll.
Everyone around saw Ziel in awe that he could catch 5 goldfish quickly. They also glanced towards Princess Aishia, even though she was wearing a robe. It doesn't completely cover her beauty.
"This is for you Princes.
" Ziel gave the doll to Princess Aishia.
"This is for me? Didn't you get it?
" Princess Aishia couldn't believe Ziel would give it to her.
"Didn't you say you wanted it? After all, I can't possibly keep it. If you don't like it. You can give it to Princess Elise. But please keep this a secret.
" Ziel made an excuse for Princess Aishia to accept it.
"No. I'm going to keep this. I'm not going to give it to Elise.
" Princess Aishia hugged the doll tightly. As if Afraid that the doll would disappear.
"All right, let's go somewhere else. How about we try the food here?
" He invited the Princess to eat.
"Nn...
" When pulled her hand by Ziel, Princess Aishia just nodded slowly like a little girl.
That night they went around all the food stalls and tried them one by one. Until finally arrived when the fireworks were lit. Ziel and Princess Aishia sit in a park that there aren't many people and a great view to see the fireworks.
"It must be very happy to see this with the people you love.
" Princess Aishia muttered softly.
"The person you love, maybe I'll never have it again.
" Ziel replied softly to her muttering.
Princess Aishia trembled slightly to hear Ziel answer her muttering. She didn't understand what Ziel meant.
"Let's go home It's almost midnight. I'm afraid the people in the castle will look for you, Princess.
" Ziel took her home.
"Nn...
" Princess Aishia nodded softly
Ziel and Princess Aishia walked side by side walking home towards the castle. In the light of the fireworks.
***
Arriving at the castle, Ziel said goodbye to Princess Aishia and chooses a different way so as not to be seen by others but before ziel leaves. Princess Aishia called him.
"Ziel...
" Princess Aishia said softly.
"Yes, Princess?
" Ziel looked directly at Princess Aishia's face.
"See you later tonight.
" She said shyly.
And Princess Aishia ran towards her room. Ziel only saw her indifferently and speak slowly that no one could hear.
"I'm sorry I can't feel anything to anyone, anymore.
"
Then he walked down the corridor towards his room.
***
When she reached her room, Princess Aishia immediately buries herself in her bed. She is rolled around while hugging the doll which Ziel gave as a gift. She was holding her chest which was still pounding very fast until now.
"You seem to be having fun Princess Aishia.
"
Suddenly there was the voice of an angry girl in the corner of Princess Aishia's room because her room was a little dark, so Princess Aishia did not realize it.
"Siesta...Since when were you here!?
" Princess Aishia was shocked to see Siesta already in her room.
"Since you came and rolled over with the doll you were carrying.
" Siesta replied to Princess Aishia honestly.
"Whaaat!?...Why didn't you say anything when I came in!!
" Princess Aishia hid her face with a doll.
Acts like this were extremely rare for Princess Aishia. Even siesta was dumbfounded to see it. Because as long as she accompanied Princess Aishia. She's never seen her like this. Right now she looks so adorable. Siesta could only smile softly looking at her.
"You seem very happy tonight. Has something good happened?
" Siesta asked directly to the point.
Hearing that question Princess Aishia smiled sweetly. Even Siesta is fascinated by her smile.
"Yes, something very good.
" Princess Aishia replied while holding her chest which was still pounding very fast.
