Capítulo 77: World 4.3

The moon shone so brightly that it almost eliminated a glowing light from its surroundings. The fireflies also glowed with the night like some magic particles. Riri, who's sitting on the windowpane, reached out his slim and frail arms like he's touching the moon. His long silver blue hair caresses his shoulders, giving him an aura like a male Goddess. He's back again to his human form, just like what the system said.

Before Cain left his side, he prepared some clothes for him to change. But since he's slim and small, the servants find difficulty in preparing his clothes, so he ended up wearing this big black shirt alone with his own upper shorts which are above knees.

[I thought the Prince will come back soon. Why is he not home yet?]

DICCU: Are you waiting for him?

[N-No, I'm not! It's just that I'm c-curious]

"Ohh!!!! A rabbit?!!!"

Riri's eyes beamed as it reflected the moonlight from above. His eyelids widened upon seeing a round small rabbit passing by the grassland below him. And before he could even realize, he already leapt from the window he had been sitting for minutes. Riri rolled on the grassland and almost hit his head. The soft and thick bushes of blueberry under his windows helped him to lessen the tension of scaring the little creature away. He moved backwards and hid himself in the bushes with his head peeking like a child. He's very attentive, following the rabbit's ears every minute.

The cuteness of the round and fluffy ball creature got into his nerves, so he put his palms down and bent his body. Riri crawled towards very gently, trying to get closer to the rabbit.

To his surprise, the round fluffy ball animal noticed his presence, so it dashed to the garden. Riri stood up and chased it. The rabbit went to the sides of the blue roses, isn't it always near a blue object, the bushes of blueberries and blue roses?

"Where is it? Where is it? I saw it run over here" Riri narrowed his eyes with one hand below his chin, inspecting the area where the blue roses bloom beautifully under the warm moonlight. It suited this place as his background. His long silvery blue hair flutters with his every move. He's charming and enticing, even in his human form.

The leaves from his right rustled. Riri's ears became attentive as he paused for a second. He let his senses feel the presence of something he's suspecting. He only wanted to catch the rabbit and take it home. Since he's a Rabbien, he thought that they would get along. Besides, he's so bored inside the mansion that he needs entertainment.

"It's in there!" Riri exclaimed in his thoughts. He wanted to confirm it, so he tiptoed towards the right side. Slowly and gently, he caressed the blue roses and found what he was looking for. "Caught you," he said with a smirk. When he was about to reach his arms, the rabbit jolted and hopped away.

"Ehh?!! Wait! Wait!" he blurted out, crawling towards the pace of the small creature. When he made a turn, Riri was stopped. He bumped into something.

Riri rubbed his forehead with one eye closed, then he saw these leather black boots tucked with a black pants. He slowly lifted his line of sight and met this someone. Long, smooth black hair that turns blue under the glowing moon. Broad shoulders and half opened white tunic on the chest. Tall and handsome tanned skin man.

Riri froze for a second, recognizing its Elric. The man crouched down and raised the Rabbien's chin. Their eyes met. "What are you doing here?" Elric asked in his silvery and euphonious voice. His lips curved into a smile as the air passed by them. It left an enticing view to Riri. As the handsome face of the Prince met his eyes, he felt something he shouldn't be feeling. The redness started to occupy his cheeks, and it made him hot. Just when he was about to back away, he was pulled into the bushes.

"Ssshh, it's coming back" Elric's voice tickled Riri's ears, who's leaning against his chest right now. They compressed themselves in the bushes when the fluffy round rabbit came back to its spot earlier.

'This is bad,' Riri mumbled to himself. His chest was pounding so hard between nervousness and panic. He didn't know what to do. He's leaning on the Prince in this small space as if they're doing something inappropriate. The Prince then stretched his arms, forming a magic circle glowing in blue. He pointed his fingers towards the rabbit and then it formed a small net. The net fell onto the small creature, trapping it inside. "Got it!" Elric exclaimed.

Riri jolted as he heard it, so he pushed himself up. He got too excited to see the rabbit finally captured. He's the first one who picked it up from the net. Riri put it into his embrace while poking its little nose full of cuteness. Every once in a while, his eyes will glint in joy while squeezing the creature's cheeks while saying. "It's so cute"

Meanwhile, Elric brushed his black pants and let the Rabbien enjoy the rabbit he caught. "Do you like it?" He approached the other guy. "Do you like rabbits so much?"

Riri giggled, "Yes, Your Highness! They are so cute!" he exclaimed out of nowhere.

Elric was surprised. "How did you know that I'm a Prince?" he asked. Question marks floating above his head.

It stunned Riri, which made him squeeze the rabbit's ears. The small creature squeaks in pain. "S-Sorry! Sorry!" Riri exclaimed, comforting the rabbit with his gentle pats. He avoided the Prince's gaze and mumbled. "C-Cain told me"

Right in the moment, a white light glowed in front of them and it formed another figure like it got transported there. When the light vanished, they saw this familiar face. Cain bowed his head, "Your highness, you are so late". He looked at Riri and cleared his throat, "Also..what are you doing here outside?"

Riri scratched the back of his head and smiled. "..hehe...I f-found this r-rabbit," he mumbled.

Cain looked at Elric, "Your Highness, I already asked the maids to prepare a good bath for you. I didn't accompany you to your night hunt because you ordered me to take care of…" he looked at Riri, showing an expression of 'What's his name though?'

Riri saw through him, so he stood up and blurted out. "I'm Riri!"

Cain cleared his throat and looked at the Prince again, "Because Your Highness asked me to take good care of Riri, I didn't know that you'll be going back at this late"

Elric just looked at him while scratching his head, "You're scolding me again, Cain" he raised his arms and yawned. "Let's go, I want to rest" As he took a step, the dizziness hit his head. He stumbled down and lost his consciousness, which made Cain dashed towards to catch him.

"Your Highness!!!!"
