The Otaku Girl's Protective Prince

I can't remember how long it's been since I last heard you

tell me your favorite story.

I thought about it for a long time, and started to panic.

Did I do something wrong again?

You cried as you told me,

"Fairy tales are all lies.

I can't possibly be your prince."

Maybe you wouldn't understand,

but ever since you told me you loved me,

every star in my sky has lit up.

I don't believe in the stories of princes and princesses in fairy tales. I don't believe a Cinderella in the real world will truly meet her prince, either. And I certainly don't believe that an ordinary girl, so unremarkable she'd disappear in a crowd, could ever meet a prince.

This story has no tumultuous romance, no dazzling beauty, and no impressive academic credentials. It has only an ordinary heart.

They wander in circles, meeting all kinds of different people, until at last they realize that the prince who would protect you has been by your side all along. You just hadn't noticed.
