I Favor the Villainess
80. About the service dance
"One, two, three, four! Yes, so I knocked my torso forward."
I was desperately moving my body as the music of solemn tunes played.
But it was too difficult for me to say that I was very good at exercising, the chief priest's instructions.
"Mr. Ray, I'm late. All of you stop moving once. I'll start over with the song again."
In the words of the chief priest, everyone, including me, returns to position and dances to the song again.
What I'm doing now is practicing the service dance that church nuns dance at the Harvest Festival.
Speaking of why I was supposed to do this, not even a nun, the story goes back a few days.
◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
"Ho, aren't you interested in a service dance?
Today and today, I was stuck with Claire, who taught Lily her knowledge of the Church.
That's what Lily said when Lily's lecture came to an end.
"Dedication dance, is it?
"That's the one at the harvest festival, right?
It was me I couldn't remember at first, but Lady Claire's words opened my memory drawer.
Oh, that one.
"Yes. It's a divine thing that the Church does during the Harvest Festival, a dance dedicated to the Spirit God."
"Why are you asking us that?
If my memory is certain, it must have been the nuns of the church who gave the dance.
"Well, that's... actually, there's a vacancy in the dancer... I'm looking for an understudy."
"Is there no substitute within the church?
"Ma, it doesn't mean anyone can dance. It has to be quite magical..."
Right now, they're paying for a good wizard in Bauer Cathedral.
The church should have many excellent users of water magic, but thank you. It seems to be driven out as a therapist in the conflict with the Nah Empire.
"Oh, thanks to the lack of harvest festival dancers, an important divine matter for the Church. If you can, can you help me?
"Master Lily takes care of me, and I'm not bluffing to cooperate, but does that dancer have to be a nun?
"Ho, it is desirable to be a nun if you are meant to be, but since Setouchi is asking whether the service dance itself will be established this year, it is widely open to the public."
Is that so much pinch?
"Li, even if it's Lili, if you can dance with your favorite Ray, it's a wish or a fulfillment"
Dear Lily, who dyes and twists her cheeks.
That's kind of a rush to talk.
"What do you think? Can you help us?
"Hmmm......"
What should I do?
Master Claire is so helpful, I would like to cooperate and repay her.
But you'll need to practice properly when it comes to dedication dancing, because you spend less time with Master Claire for that matter.
When I'm lost,
"Isn't that nice? Please help me."
"Dear Claire..."
Lady Claire is here to help.
What a breeze.
"But I don't want to spend less time with Master Claire for practice."
"Then should I join you?
"K, can Master Claire join us!?
Claire's offer seemed unexpected to Lily.
"Shouldn't you?
"And it's outrageous! It's a great honor! Hawawa... I have to report to the Pope..."
According to Master Lily, the participation of the noble and highly magical Claire makes a great deal of sense for the Church.
But...
"Please don't use it for too much political rush, okay?
"Oh, it's... I'll be careful"
Lady Claire stabbed me with a nail, and Lady Lily became a pussy.
"And yet... Master Claire was quite different from the rumors, wasn't she?"
Where the story came to a paragraph, Master Lily said that with her mouth on the tea.
"What kind of rumors?
"Ah...... Um, the..."
"Well, fine. It won't matter anyway. In fact, I don't think you're wrong about the rumors, am I?
Master Claire leans on the teacup as he vomits his masochistic lines.
"Oh, that's not true! Master Claire is a lot nicer than any rumor! You're not arrogant or wagamama... ah"
"You're like that, my rumors are"
Claire laughs bitterly at Lily for letting her mouth slip by accident.
I don't care, Master Lily accidentally has amazing attributes.
Master Lili cautioned us to keep Yu-sama's secrets strictly secret, but they are most definitely Master Lili.
At this rate, I often get the status of Cardinal, and I think about being rude.
"Cardinal Lilli is the one who's very different from your rumors, isn't he?
"Ah, haha...... It's often said…"
When Master Claire said it with the bad grin of someone who looked like a villain warrant, Master Lily laughed badly as well.
"What kind of rating is Lily in the alley?
"Virgin."
"... what?
"That's why they call me the Virgin."
I looked at Master Lily after I was pompous and turned to Master Claire again.
"Shh."
"Hey Ray, that reaction is rude to the boulders, right?
"Oh, Master Lily, I'm sorry. I mean it."
"Fo, I'm not following you..."
Lady Lilli without any hesitation.
'Cause, hey.
"Li, even Lili knows how they say it's disproportionate. Lily is not a Virgin."
"Where did that rumor come from?
"I'm Chancellor Suras."
Oh, that's him.
If you ask me, Lily's hair and eyes are the same silver-haired red eyes as Sarace's.
"I, I'm not very impressed with that one"
"Why is that? He's a brilliant man, isn't he?
"In one case of rene"
"Oh...... I can't help it. As someone in charge of national politics, yes, of course."
Though I can understand it as an emotion, Master Claire comforted me.
What's the matter, Master Claire?
Something so sweet.
To me, Master Claire looks like the Virgin.
Well, the only reason I don't like Master Suras is because of Lene.
By the way, isn't it hard to remember the name Suras?
"Besides, I'm not impressed with you speaking ill of your father in front of your daughter."
"Oh, excuse me, Master Lily. It's true."
"Well, that's why I'm not following you..."
Again, I'm sorry, Master Lily.
'Cause, hey.
Heavenly bowl is basic.
"And anyway, you can take the dedication dance thing, right?
"There's no more reason to say no to me than Master Claire joins us"
"I'd be happy to join you if I could thank you for what you've done."
"Oh, thank you!
Master Lily stood up momentously and bowed her head.
Wimple flips.
"I exaggerate, Cardinal Lilly. About this much."
"Yes, no. Harvest festivals are such an important divine matter for the Church. If you can't dance, it'll be ugly since the church began."
Even if it doesn't matter to the average person, it seems important to the church.
The feeling around it will only be known to those who live in faith.
Honestly, I don't understand because I only have the degree of knowledge I've read in Inuomo.
"Thank you so much. May the Spirit God bless you both."
Lily, who laughed so with her face up, was not a regular little animal.
I thought it might not be a mistake for her to be called the Virgin.
