[Lying in my bed]
[Slept]
5 years later....
(Everything has been fine till now.)
( I have preached the Phoenix's teachings to the princess, and now she has become extremely beautiful too.)
(Our relationship has also become more friendly. She has grown from a rebellious kid into a mature woman.)
[Looking at my reflection in the mirror]
(I have also grown into a handsome young man. I lacked all these looks in my past life.)
(I now have beautiful black hair, silver eyes, and a much stronger body.)
[Suddenly Kuroya barged in.]
[Kazama is without a shirt.]
Kuroya[blushing] — Umm, the princess has called you to play a new game she created.
"Huh?"
5 minutes later....
At the garden
(I see a football-like leather ball.)
"What is that?"
Princess[proudly]- Ahem! This is called Feetsphere*.
"On what basis did you name it?"
Princess-We play it with our feet and it is a sphere, so I named it Feetsphere.
"Oh, I see."
(It is crazy to know that she created football centuries ago. This is truly fascinating.)
"And how do we play it?"
Princess-The minimum number of players per team is two, so four in total. You have three options: pass, go past them, or shoot.
"Oh, I see."
Princess- But there are only three of us right now.
"We can play 1 vs 1."
Princess[a little surprised]-How?
"If we play 1 vs 1, the options decrease to two: either go past or shoot.
Princess[amazed]-"Oh, I see. Thank you. You will be my opponent.
[Scratching my head] — Okay.
[The princess places two rocks on either side of the garden.]
"These are the goalposts. If the sphere goes past them, I win."
"Understood."
[She starts.]
[Ball at her feet.]
[Running in front of me.]
(But I cannot keep my focus because of two big reasons—)
[She goes past me.]
[Goal!]
Princess-Yeah! The enemy base falls apart!
(This is the first time something stood up which only stands up when I feel like peeing, but this time it is different — I felt one of the negative emotions again... LUST.)
(In this world, people become adults at 15.)
(The princess still has one year left to become an adult.)
"Princess?"
Princess- Yes?
"What do you want to become after becoming an adult?"
Princess- When I was a child, I used to dream of becoming a wandering mage.
"Then?"
Princess-But then I realized that without mana I cannot use magic.
"Well, a sad ending to your dream."
Princess- Indeed.
"So, any dream now?"
Princess-Now I will live my royal life, marry my dream prince... something like that.
[My face turns a little stern.] — Oh, a prince?
Princess[smiling snarkily]So? Do you think I will ever marry a commoner like you?!
"I see. Then goodbye, princess. Your game was indeed fun."
Princess[proudly,arms crossed]- Well, I know!
Writer's POV:
[Kazama left.]
The princess looks a little saddened.
