Short Story - Airi's Wish

It was at a floating island sanctuary she visited on a vacation trip.

Taking advantage of the free time, she came to the matching shrine.

The reason...

(What should I do? It's very uncomfortable. )

... She wanted to get along with Rudel and Alisa as before, they recently had an argument, they reconciled some time later... but she feels that this wall is still there, so she came to pray to God.

They conversed in a somewhat uncomfortable atmosphere, they had to go to the place where they prayed.

The three were lined up side by side.

Airi and Alisa were on either side of Rudel.

"W-We're supposed to make an offering, right? How much does it cost?"

Perhaps noticing that the mood was bad, Alisa took out a gold coin from her purse as she spoke.

Airi was very worried about Alisa.

"Th-That amount?"

"Is this not correct? This is normal in temples."

... She was shocked that Alisa tried to give a gold coin as an offering. Airi realized her failure when she saw Alisa in trouble.

(O-Oh, no! I'm a fool! Alisa gave me a chance to talk to her! )

Airi's surprise made the mood worse again.

When she regretted ruining Alisa's worry, Rudel came between them. He put money after money from the money box.

It wasn't just gold and silver coins.

Airi was startled when she saw Rudel throw white gold coins and wads of banknotes.

Rudel, who put in a lot of money, had a proud look on his face.

"Huh? Do you have to put in that much money?"

In fact, isn't she herself the one who got it wrong?

Should her apologize to Alisa for this?

While Airi was confused thinking about that, Rudel began to wish seriously.

Airi suddenly realized.

(R-Right. I have to wish for something, too.)

There was only one reason she came here.

She wanted their relationship to never change.

(I want to have a relationship like before. Please, God.)

Airi wanted it badly, but a voice was heard next door.

It was Rudel's voice.

"God, I will not ask for anything luxurious. So please let me have a wife! Please let me marry a kind woman with good sense! I don't want a woman who belittles her husband and brings up her child as if he were a stranger. Please give me a suitable companion!"

Airi interrupted her request and looked at Rudel in profile, desperately glaring.

Her face was serious.

(Did Rudel-san go crazy because his marriage search was too difficult?)

Airi also knew that the circumstances of marriage for boys in the academy were hard and was saddened to hear Rudel's wishes.

(I... I'm not good enough, am I? My situation is very different from Rudel-san's. If so, I would also like to pray for Rudel-san. I hope Rudel-san can find a good woman...)

Then, Airi thought.

(... Wouldn't it be nice with Alisa?)

They are both noble and from Airi's point of view, they are above the clouds.

Though she knew there was a great wall between her and Rudel, Airi thought there were few obstacles between Rudel and Alisa.

(I'd like the two of you to get along.)

With that in mind, Airi wishes Rudel and Alisa all the best.

However...

"If possible, make her breasts large, and a narrow waist would be nice too."

Airi turned red as Rudel's wishes escaped her mouth.

"W-What are you saying, Rudel-san!?"

Rudel's desire did not stop there.

"Besides, it would be nice if she was a little naughty! It would be even better if she was a little playful! Honestly, I want a loving adult who can spoil me and... Big breasts! Tight waist! And a beauty too! ... I beg you, god!"

Listening to Rudel's wish asking God for so much...

(Big breasts? I-I have big breasts, but am I grown up and sexy? W-Waist... I-I have to diet more. My face... I don't know. I've never been complimented on my face where I lived. But the playful thing...)

She wondered if she could fit in with Rudel's wishes.

However, she noticed that her face turned red.

There was no time to wonder if she was close to Rudel's ideals.

AAsshe tried to stop Rudel from leaking his desires even further, her eyes met the eyes of Alisa, who was on the other side of Rudel.

Her face was surprised.

Alisa was thinking the same thing.

Somehow, she understood what the other person meant.

Looking at Rudel, she still spoke his wishes.

(Rudel-san... You can't help it. )

Reliable, but she couldn't take her eyes off him.

At the same time, Airi and Alisa reached out their arms and pinched Rudel's ears with their fingers.

"What the...! You two, why are you getting in my way?"

Speechless, they carried and dragged him away from the place of worship.

"Wait! I'm not done yet! There's still more I want to say!"

Airi was shocked.

"Still planning to wish?"

"There's nothing wrong with wanting more!"

(Is that why you put so much money in the urn?)

Airi was surprised to hear Rudel's words.

Alisa had a similar face to Airi.

However, both Airi and Alisa smiled bitterly at this troublesome friend.

She looked at Alisa's face.

(What will Alisa think of Rudel-san? )

Seeing Alisa's face as if she was surprised and amused looking at Rudel, Airi wished they were getting along better.

(Hopefully they'll end up together in the end...)
