"You smiled! You finally smiled again, Kenneth!"
Only after Kenneth heard Fay's happy screams did the prince finally realize that everyone had been worrying about his mood all this time. Even though Kenneth hadn't known Fay and the others for long, they seemed to genuinely care about his feelings after they returned from the fight.
Even Gaia, who had been fighting earlier, showed a genuine smile when she heard Kenneth finally laugh freely. The shy Aqua also chuckled because of Kenneth. They were all truly happy just because of his laughter.
Kenneth unconsciously squeezed his chest. It felt like Kenneth couldn't get used to the warm feeling that was filling his heart.
"Thank you. This is all thanks to you guys."
"D, don't thank us so quickly, Kenneth. Gaia, is all right now, right?"
"Ah, of course, you were able to heal her. And Fay, you were also able to return the sword to her."
