“It can be considered that the stars are what humans tend to believe in when making wishes.”

But do you know that what you asked for will always have the Guardian of the Stars watching over it? It's just that you guys don't know if it's a guardian or a goddess in the sky. But they never forsake. If the request is too much I can't give it.

“Are you still following my request? ”

The goddess who is the one who takes care of the stars and wishes this time is you again. Guardian of the Stars Why are you still accepting requests? Even though some requests are beyond repair. But this person At this time, people may think Asking for blessings from stars is such a foolish matter. But I don't want to make this person feel disappointed in humans.

“Do you know how much I love and adore them? ”

“To the point of giving in completely? ”

The goddess's words caused the other party to pause somewhat. But her answer was just a simple and extremely innocent smile? What are you thinking? I don't seem to understand her thoughts at all. Why do you love humans so much? Even though it's not good. With good people I don't understand what she's thinking at all. What exactly is she intending to do?

“But you know very well what I think of humans.”

“I really didn't want to think that I would be able to do something like this.”

The goddess sighed heavily. before acting dissatisfied with the other person's answer But it's not wrong to think like that. Because we all love humans, never disagree, never argue, but not with the world on the other side of us. We don't think like that. He hates human beings, both with resentment, with the sorrow and grief that makes him angry. from human actions We all know each other well, each of our positions: god, goddess, protector, human, demon, god of death, god of death. We all know. But I choose to listen to one side.

Choose to close one eye Don't listen to each other's opinions. Because we are not the same, therefore we choose different paths.

“Izumi? Are you listening? ”

The Guardian's voice spoke up, calling him to his senses. A person who joins the stars I still secretly wonder every time even though the person in front of me is the Guardian of the Stars. But it turns out to be the '2nd Prince' of the people in this sky! How could you come and do something like this to him?

“Are you wondering if the 2nd Prince Become a protector? ”

The goddess' body froze. Do you know this? Why do you know this? Even without actually saying it?

“I know what everyone thinks of me. Even though you should wait to continue investigating. Because I heard that my brother will relinquish the throne. But I'd rather pass.”

“Is it strange? Oops-- ”

“You can talk to me like a friend. I am now the Guardian of the Stars.”

It's been a long time since we've seen people of royal lineage. What are you talking about like this? Originally had a arrogant, cold personality, not caring much about others. But I came across this person. Looks completely different from what everyone believed. But I didn't dare to behave like a famous friend. Because the other person is a member of the royal family, but if you look carefully

He's just a lonely kid. That no one dares to be friends with?

"I'm Izumi."

“I know, my name is Smile.”

Is your name Smile? It's strange that a royal family would have such a common name. Are you sure it's a name?

“Actually…that was my decision. My real name is Kogoro, but it's better to call me Smile ~☆ ”

'Poor' is the first thing that pops into my head. Even though I don't know what life in the palace will be like. But saying that It reminded me of the old guardian. That woman used to say that…. Exactly the same as 'The Prince' said.

“Why do you want to know my name?! ”

“Ah, my name actually matches that of a star.”

“Actually, I am an ordinary woman. My name is Diana.”

“We probably haven't met yet…. Because I… have been banished from here. I'm sorry.”

Oh, I thought of it again... Why do you have to think about it? I don't understand. ...I really miss that girl. Someone who can control work on the star circuit, including requests, smiles, and laughter. gentle tone Talking with a famous star, a friend. This person is no different from that person. Anxiety, fear, loneliness.

“Mr. Smile? Do you know the previous Guardian? ”

“First person, Miss Diana. She has already been deported. But it's not far away.”

“So… you must be fine.”

“You look really worried.”

The goddess smiled slightly before shaking her head lightly.

“I'm just wondering. Because she looked very sad.”

The guardian also lowered his head and rubbed the heads of the stars. It must be very sad. The loss at that time I understand it very well because many humans, even goddesses and gods, have a point where they are banished from where they were born…..

“Izumi-san must be thinking about the person he lost. Me too…..I miss that girl….”

The 2nd Prince spoke as if he were referring to a single person. But even….there are few people who can smile as well as that girl….

'When will we meet again?'
