Novel | Silent Beat Memento | 1 - Prologue


サイレント·ビート 形見
(Sairento bīto katami)
Prologue

A boy moves out of his bed. Leaving the other children in their sleep, he walked slowly toward a young girl in the balcony...
"What are you doing, Marie?"
She turns her face to that boy for a short time, smiled and then she continued to gaze at the stars. Finally she answers him...
“Nothing”
“Really...?” The boy tilts his head. He feels that Marie has more than a nothing in her minds. He then moves beside the girl and leaned against the edge of the balcony…
The moonlight bathes the vast flower field in front of them. The wind gently blows through the calm night as Marie turns her eyes and starts to stare intently at the boy. Her eyes are sparkling.  The boy hardly tries to ignore that unbearable stare…
“What?” In the end, he couldn't handle it.
“Hey Lucca, can I ask you something?” Marie said.
“No” The boy replies quickly. That made Marie inflating her cheeks and turns her face away.
“I’m joking, so what did you want to ask?”
Marie becomes cheerful once again…
“What do you want to be when you grow up someday?” she starts to stare at him again.
“Anything’s fine” Another quick replies, Marie inflates her cheeks again. But slowly her expression changed into more serious one. As the dawn arises, a voice gently comes out from her lips…
“I think I want to be a knight!.”
