Land of Espionage, Calavina…-.
Avi, Hinata, Byakuyo, Shigure, and Seras have been invited to the Dawn Festival being held as a symbol of the Dream World’s reconstruction, and the group now walk through the streets of Calavina.
Avi: “Geez, where did Medi get off to?”
Shigure: “He said he wanted to see ‘the cool boy’s passion’ right away and ran off, so I’m sure he’s somewhere in Calavina…”
Seras: “Haha, that’s a pretty safe bet then.”
Byakuyo: “Regardless, he’s a bit too free-spirited to go running off like that.”
Hinata: “Luke chased after him, so why don’t we leave it to him? Anyway…”
Hinata looked up at the Calavina Castle, towering over everyone.
Everyone followed his gaze up, and their gazes rested on the solemn castle.
Hinata: “So this is the real Calavina castle huh. Even though when we saw it last time it was an illusionary reconstruction… it still feels weird.”
Seras: “Ah, that’s right, everyone’s seen this castle once before. If I recall, wasn’t that an illusion created by Hope?”
Shigure: “Yeah. But seeing it like this… I don’t think it compared to the real thing.”
Byakuyo: “When the Dawn Festival comes, this real castle will be lit up. Thinking of that, I feel kind of moved.”
Avi: “Yeah. Though I was a bit surprised hearing about the Dawn Festival from our friend. Still, I wonder if Kairi’s alright?”
Maybe because he remembered when Kairi had lost his homeland and been adrift in despair, Avi’s expression showed true concern…-.
Shigure: “If it’s Kairi, I’m sure he’s fine.”
Shigure spoke up, his voice unexpectedly clear and assured.
Everyone blinked at his straightforward assessment.
Shigure: “To move this frozen country… I think that’s really amazing. I respect Kairi’s determination this time for taking that step forward.”
Byakuyo: “…you’re right. Even though Kairi always insisted he wasn’t a prince anymore, he met our friend and traveled with us… he changed.”
Seras: “…ain’t that the truth. I can’t help but cheer him on as another prince trying to restore his country.”
Hinata: “I think he’d definitely make a weird face if you told that to him though. I might end up laughing!”
Avi: “Geez, let’s try and hold back on the teasing.”
Hinata: “No way. This time I plan to properly praise him!”
Shigure: “Haha… at any rate, we’ll do whatever we can to help, and when Kairi or our friend get into trouble, we’ll be there to get them out.”
Byakuyo: “Indeed, it’s only natural considering we’re all friends.”
Seras: “Even if they aren’t in trouble, no matter what, I’ll gladly help them out.”
As the five looked at each other, they all smiled and nodded.
As their gazes connected, they shared a tender moment thinking of their precious friends…
The Moon Road spanned the night sky above, and the five princes stood for a while, looking up once more at Calavina Castle.
