男たちは目を丸くして、数枚の金貨を見詰めている。
ザクロ：「それでいいだろう。金貨の使い方がわからないわけではあるまい」
*******
卵屋は表通りから外れているため、運良く人通りはなかった。
荒い息をなんとか落ち着かせようと浅い呼吸を繰り返し、ミズキは頭を押さえる。
あまり眠っていないのに頭に血が上ってしまい、眩暈を覚えたのだった。
ザクロが何か言いたそうに口を開きかける。
ミズキ：「………失礼しました」

The guys widened their eyes and stared at the golden coins.
Zakuro: “That should do. You know how to use golden coins, don’t you?”
Fortunately no one was around because the egg store was away from the main street.
To calm down his heavy breath, Mizuki repeated shallow breath several times and he held his head.
He felt dizzy because his blood was rising when he had little sleep.
Zakuro was about to open his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
Mizuki: “….. My apologies.”

The men with round-eyed wonder are looking at several coins.
Zakuro : "Isn't that enough? Don't tell me you don't know how to use those coins"

The egg shop is off the main street, so fortunately, it wasn't as busy.
Mizuki holds his head as he tries to calm down by breathing lightly.
Mizuki's blood is shooting up his head and feels dizzy though he has not had enough sleep.

Mizuki apologized before Zakuro says something.
Zakuro might want to say his apologies.
Or, Zakuro might want to say something because he was worried.
But, at that moment, Mizuki could not have mind to calm down himself and would not be able to accept these concerns.
If Zakuro said something, even if it was an apologies, Mizuki thought he might talk back to him. That is why he did not want to open his mouth anymore.
Mizuki: “…… It’s almost time. Shall we go back to the carriage station?”
More Mizuki tried to calm himself down, more his words spread the distance between their hearts.

Before Zakuro could say anything, Mizuki apologized.
He might have wanted to apologize.
He might have wanted to ask Mizuki if he was doing okay.
However, Mizuki does not think he can accept such kindness at this very moment.
Mizuki does not want to open his mouth ever more as he feels like he might talk back at Zakuro though his words are kind.
Mizuki : ".....It's about time. Let's get back to the carriage stop"
The more Mizuki tries to calm himself down, the wider words make the distance between two hearts.

Even in the carriage, he felt scary of the narrow space.
Mizuki was unable to cool down as he almost wanted to ask the apprentice of chef, who sit beside a coachman, to switch the seat for him.
His heart was beating hard, so it hurt him.
The way should be short, but he felt so long like crazy.
Once they reached to the castle and finally about to get out from the carriage, Mizuki was relieved from bottom of his heart.
However, that was when Mizuki’s hand touched the knob, holding his package.
Mizuki’s hand was placed on the knob.

The street way back feels like forever.

In the narrow carriage, Zakuro’s face got close to Mizuki’s and Mizuki’s heart started beating even faster.
Mizuki almost wanted to escape from there, but it would be rude if he moved the knob.
However, Mizuki was surprised a bit of himself that the heart beating was nothing like uncomfortable.
Zakuro: “…….”
Zakuro’s face was serious and even a bit tensed.
Mizuk: “……?”
Zakuro: “ uh……”
Zakuro: “…. I am sorry.”
That was all he said.

In a small carriage, Zakuro's face gets closer and closer to Mizuki's, and that makes Mizuki's heart beats faster.
Mizuki wants to run away, but if he is to move the knob that will be rather rude to Zakuro.
Zakuro : "............"
Zakuro looks serious and tensed.
Mizuki : "....... ? "
Zakuro : ".......Ahm........"
Zakuro : "...... Sorry"

While Mizuki was at a loss, Zakuro got a start and pulled his hand that was placed on Mizuki’s.
Mizuki was not at a loss because of that. But Mizuki could not help to smile a bit by seeing Zakuro’s off-point reaction.
Minister: “Prince! We’ve been looking for you! Why did you go to the Reen village with house boys?”
Looked like the information was leaked from somewhere. As soon as they got off the carriage, minister ran toward them with his pale face.
Zakuro: “I went to inspect the village for the plan. It is more productive way to spend time rather than talking about marriage.”

With amazement, Mizuki stands still. Then, Zakuro pulls back his hand which was laid on Mizuki's.
Mizuki was not dumbfounded because of his hand. Seeing Zakuro getting out of line as usual, Mizuki giggles a little.
Minister : "Prince! I have been looking for you! Why on earth did you have to go to the village of Lean with those servants?!"
Getting off the carriage, the minister came running. The story must have gone into his ears from someone somewhere.
Zakuro : "It was an inspection for the future project. Isn't it a more effective way to spend the time rather than talking about my marriage?"

As Zakuro treated minister lightly, he started walking to the royal palace.
Does he get a wealthy life for the exchange of the liberty to walk around your own country freely?
Momentarily, Mizuki felt sorry for Zakuro, but he shook his head.
There is no need to feel sorry for Zakuro.
Mizuki went back to house boys’ dormitory, being stubborn for nothing.
The dormitory was quiet for some reason even it was middle of the day.

This life... I can't take a stroll freely even within my own territory. Is this the kind of life that has been given to me in exchange for the wealth?
Zakuro seemed pitiful for a second, but Mizuki shakes off that thought.
Zakuro does not deserve my sympathy.
Mizuki meaninglessly goes with his way and returns to the house of servants.
