- Supper party.
It is also a ceremony to celebrate the successful conduct of the counter-school match this year.
It magically transforms the spacious gymnasium on the grounds of Heilkwestern, making it a hall-like interior in the royal castle.
The ceiling is decorated with a chandelier and gloriously illuminates the entire room.
There are a number of round tables at the venue, where you can find a wide array of dishes that are as luxurious as they look.
But that's not all cooking is.
A number of long tables, placed at equal intervals.
There is also a wide array of dishes, including soups, desserts and meat.
Those tables are placed in such a way as to enclose a spaceless space that could be made in the center of the venue.
And the venue is staffed with music teams, who can hear the tones immersed in a more exhilarating mood.
No way, are we dancing here? ……
I walked into the venue first, and Nem and I were choosing to cook.
Meat, meat, meat... and meat.
All I have on Nem's plate is meat.
Not a single vegetable.
"Do cats only eat meat?
"No, I like Nem"
I mean, do you like it or not?
Well, nothing.
The two of us find our seats appropriately, where we'll have a tummy first.
"Excuse me, may I sit next to you?
Then one student spoke to me.
"I don't mind."
Nem starts to stick to me and eat like he's on guard.
"Thank you"
The student, dressed in a black tuxedo on a blonde all-back, was looking at me and Nem's face as he honeycombed.
"My name is Tim Lloyd. Tomorrow's school match, I will be there to fight Mr. Nem. I'd like to say a few words to you this time."
I see this guy is Tim Lloyd... he just looks like a good young man.
Would you be older than me? You're an upper class.
"Really, that's..."
"But I didn't think the opponent was such a little girl."
Then Nem reacts to the word.
"Nem, he's not small! It's still strong!
"No! Don't get me wrong! I'm not underestimating it. Just pure surprise, huh? Excuse me..."
What a low-profile guy.
There's no catch whatsoever, there's nowhere to grasp.
I'm not interested.
"Nice to see you tomorrow"
Instead of Nem, I bowed my head.
"Please. Now, if you'll excuse me."
Then Tim disappeared somewhere.
They really just said hello.
And I greeted him with a stream, but I'm guessing he mistook me for Nem's guardian or something?
Well, actually, I'm like a guardian...
Nem just bit Tim with one word and then didn't say anything.
He seemed more obsessed with the meat in front of him than that.
Speaking of school matches, is it a collection of school wars that have gone on so far, but isn't Nem nervous?
"Wow! That kid is so beautiful!
Then I heard a squeaking voice from the entrance.
"Who would that girl be? So beautiful! '
"Isn't the girl next door pretty, too?
Each student in a dress surrounds the entrance and makes some noise.
What the hell is all this noise?
Then out of that group appeared Sufilia, dressed in a blue dress, and Toa, dressed in a black dress.
Two reasons for the noise...... sure, it's beautiful.
I remember that feeling, as if only around the two of us, was something lit up.
And when they noticed me and Nem, they laughed lightly.
They're looking at me now.
Even if you're used to seeing them, they're endless beauties.
In the previous world, a model or an actress... would have been an entertainer first.
Those two are looking at me right now.
I waved appropriately.
"You don't look good in a black suit with a red mask, do you?
That was Toa's first voice.
"You have no choice, do you? I can't take it off. Besides, I asked Tom to change it to a specification that I could open my mouth to, and I'm not particularly inconvenient myself. See? You can drink with it on, though, right?
I poured beer in with my mask on.
The boulders are Tom, great specifications.
"I don't mind if Master Nito is good with that, but even the scary shaped mask looks more scary. And it stands out."
"You two were noticeable, weren't you? That was awesome and praiseworthy when you came in.
"It's a penetration as a former princess. Speaking of which, Toa was a princess, wasn't she?
"I, nothing..."
I always get a dark look when I'm touched by what I don't like and the fact that Toa is a princess.
"Beautiful... after all, you look great"
You're with someone like me.
Compliments don't punish you.
"Thank you. I am delighted to be satisfied with Nito."
"Oh, oh, thank you..."
Sufilia was smiling gently.
Toa, as always, can be extremely illuminated when praised.
When I stare, I just turn away from telling you not to look.
"Nem looks great, too."
"Mogu Mogu!
Nem didn't know what he was talking about because of the meat in his mouth.
"You don't eat anything more than that? Nem's been eating for a long time now."
"Today's meat is delicious!
Nem was in a better mood than usual.
Nem hitting the meat with a red dress.
It's a novel combination.
"It's your turn!
Then Nem flattened the meat on the plate.
Just fine.
Let's all go get dinner.
- Looks like the four of us took our seats and decided to pick up the food once.
And there were those who looked at such political sects with suspicion.
"Mr. Nishijo, you still don't look like Mr. Hitachi, do you?
"I don't know by the looks of it, but there's got to be a political mask underneath you."
"I don't think it's Hitachi, no matter what you think. 'Cause it's weird that Hitachi has two beautiful kids like that."
A little bird to wash your hands in Kamii.
The three were talking to Kosokoso, watching how Nito was doing.
Especially your hand wash was single-handedly political, saying that the political sect could not have brought a beauty.
And there's another one who sends his gaze to Nito.
- It's Saab.
Saab is getting more and more angry when he sees Nito just saying flowers in both hands.
And beside it were the appearance of Joanna and Davitt with a frightened face.
Kida is away from Saab and talking to another student.
Saab was pouring it in with his left-hand beer, chewing on the meat he held in his right hand, eating like an eight-handed hit.
The two of them are stunned by the way it is.
Saab seemed tired of pretending to be calm, but the two of them figured out that Saab was pissed off in their hands.
"Master Saab?
"What is it?
"Apparently, Saab hasn't figured out yet that he's the hero of the Dungeon Attacker?
……
Saab ignores Joanna's words in such a way that she is handicapped.
"If you're saying that's a rival mind, I think Sabu-kun should look back at himself, not him, right?
That's what Davitt said.
"You think it's a rival mind?
"'Cause you don't? You've been thinking about him lately. [M] Even if I don't think about it, I'll fight anyway. What do you call it without calling it a rival mind? But we should stop doing that. I've told you before and I don't want to tell you anymore, but you should realize who they are."
"... observe your opponent, what's wrong?
"That's bad. 'Cause in your case, it's not an observation, it's just a stare, right? Observation means looking at things more objectively. I'm not talking about observing emotions."
Saab didn't say anything back anymore.
I didn't ask for consent in the first place.
Saab just couldn't help but watch.
When I get into my sight, I really chase him with my eyes.
That was also angry, but I can't help it because my point of view fits on my own.
Saab has no control over his emotions.
The way it looked, the two of them looked funny.
Now Saab was pissed at everything.
To Nito, who looks like he's having fun, or to two people who say things like he looked down.
Then the atmosphere of the music that was wrapping the venue changed.
Following that, the students embark on themselves in the center, each dancing with their partner.
I don't know what it is, but the people around me suddenly danced.
"Your husband! Please dance with me. It is!
Nem suddenly said that and offered me a hand.
"What are you talking about? Master Nito dances with me, right?
Suphilia breaks in.
"Nem is first!
Suddenly, Nem and Suphilia started a fight.
Apparently even Nem knew about the dance.
I had no idea.
No way, is dinner a dance thing?
No, I don't know. What's this all about?
"Excuse me, miss! Would you mind dancing with me?
Then a good-looking man with a busy side began to dictate to Toa on his own, knowing I was there.
"Sorry...... I am"
"Ma'am, I'm a Dynes person. My father is the Duke. Don't embarrass me in this place."
What a strong, messed-up guy to say.
Is this what nobility is all about?
That's scum.
This is blackmail.
But it won't do Toa any good.
"Excuse me, but she was with me."
Then the man glanced at me for a moment.
What are you going to do?
You can't possibly not know me.
- Please don't.
I politely said no.
"Excuse me, but it seems you already have two partners over there, and this place gives way to me..." Didn't you hear me?
I block the words and answer a little stronger.
"Now, I beg your pardon. That's what you said, isn't it?
"Don't say that, give it up, will you? It's just a little dance, right?
A man who talks half provocatively, like Niyaniya and I looked down.
Oh, man, what the hell is this guy thinking?
Toa is laughing bitterly.
From the look on my face, I could see my disgust with this man.
"... are you stupid?
That's what I whine about.
Then the man's expression changed.
"Yes, what did you just say? Stupid, that's what it sounded like..."
The man couldn't hide his anger behind his face, and was clearly frustrated as he piqued his expression.
"Yeah, that's what you said, isn't it?
"What?"
"Stupid...... stupid enough to be attached. Noble? What is it? What the hell is the use of it? I have no idea. Hey. If you're going to wield power, it's about making no mistake with them. I'm a student, but most importantly, an adventurer, right? Adventurers have a habit of thinking about things solely on a damage account. And I don't really think about what's ahead. As it stands, if it doesn't benefit you to keep them alive, don't hesitate to kill them. That's what adventurers are for."
"Oh, is that... a threat? I'm the Duke's son, aren't I? You think you can turn the Duke against your enemies and live?
He's a pain in the ass.
If the place is the place, I'm done blowing my head off, but it doesn't work either.
If you do that, you're expelled.
"For example, what the hell is wrong with me by making that duke and them enemies? Is that what you're talking about, pointing assassins at me? So the assassins have enough power to destroy a country?
"That doesn't have to be explained, does it?
The man looked somewhat spare.
No matter how much I threaten, I won't pull it off.
He stared at Toa and seemed not to have given up yet.
Then let's change our ways.
It's important to show these fools.
I mean, I guess this guy doesn't believe it.
That I'm an S-rank adventurer.
I guess you just think of it as a title.
I took one fork from the table.
"Could you hold this fork?
"What?"
"It's done right away. It's a little fun. It'll be over soon."
Then the man gets the fork with nature.
I'm still an idiot.
I guess I don't have the feeling they're holding a fork.
"Then with that fork, could you keep my right hand pierced?
"Behold! What?!
"With that fork, you pierced my hand, that's what I said."
"You... are you insane?!
Before you doubt me, you should doubt your own head.
But the man suspected me.
Apparently, he thinks it's a joke.
"I'm not kidding. Don't worry. No matter how hard I put in, I can't hurt you. It could have been a sword, but that's the only thing I can prepare right away, so be patient with it."
All we have here now is a fork.
Then the Dynes man raised his mouth horn with a nigga.
"Heh... he said he was cool. Don't you have two words?
Where has the tone gone to earlier?
"Of course it is. This is just a game, so don't worry about staying with us."
"Then sweeten to your words!
Then the man stabbed the fork vigorously into my palm with a niggling and invincible grin without hesitation.
"Nah!"
But the result is exactly what I imagined.
- In front of my palm, the fork is bent.
Each of the three projections is bent so that it branches in a different direction.
When the man saw the fork, with frightened eyes, he alternated between me and the fork.
"How about that? I'd like to avoid any further futile questions, if I may."
"Ko, this is..."
"As you can see, your attempt to send me an assassin means nothing to me. Same as this fork. Whether you're attacked with a blade or poisoned, there's no point in that act. Why don't we take the right poison and show it to you? Even so, it's just like water to me."
"Come on!..."
Then the eyes of the man who was supposed to look down on me until earlier had turned to fear.
"Heh, heh... this time, let's miss it. I'm getting a little tired of it too..."
Aristocrats trying to make a smile somehow, pulling their faces together.
"What am I mistaken for?
"To?"
"You did the wrong thing, didn't you? You know that best yourself. So what do you do? What are you doing when you do something wrong?
"Duh, what's going on? What..."
"- Kneel (first)..."
The moment I say that, the man's face changes.
There were no more expressions there that could have been painstakingly repaired until earlier, just the faces of those who understood the matter.
Sweat transmits to a man's forehead.
"Please...... I think it was bad. Don't embarrass me any more."
Unlike the way you were kidding earlier, a desperate plea nobleman.
The man said that in as small a voice as he could so that he could not hear his voice around him.
I guess you don't want to be so ashamed of yourself by then.
"Shame? That's rude. Doesn't that seem like I'm insulting you, then? Did you act unproductive yourself?
Then Toa saw how it was.
"Hey, can I forgive you? I think I already know."
That's not true.
That's the last thing you should do.
This guy is not reflecting.
I just want to run away.
"You are unwilling to make an apology. All I'm thinking about is being forgiven and wanting you to miss it. But I don't have such a good story. In the first place, it came from you, didn't it? So there must be some kind of punishment, right? Punishment for fooling adventurers..."
I put my face close to the man's ear and spoke in a whisper.
"You said the Dynes or something, right?
"Yes, sir"
The man also answers in a whisper.
"You, your house, it's over. Shame on you? How far are you mistaken? By the time you sold me the fight, you were done. I don't have a life. And by ignoring my advice, you lose the Dynes themselves. If you find out, get the hell out of this venue. And go home and take care of your days with the rest of your family. But don't be hopeful, okay? It'll be gone in a few days."
And I slowly got away from the man.
I hear the noblemen have no more words.
"Do you understand? Adventurers are free creatures. I am not bound by the law or power, I just live as I wish. Therefore, whoever wants to kill will kill mercilessly. The Dynes are done for you. The reason is because you fooled me. Is it the Duke's Dynes...... if you know that much, you will find the territory etc immediately. Now, take care of your family until then."
"Hih!"
The expression of nobility is attractive.
And slowly, slowly, as I lag behind, you get the distance from me
"Ji! You're kidding, right?! I am! …"
- Get lost, scumbag.
When I said that, the aristocrats walked out of the venue, refreshed as they were about to stumble.
Thanks to the fact that the dance was starting and the music, our conversation didn't sound so good to the guys around us.
They were nearby. Pretend not to look at them, too, and I don't really care.
Only the aristocrats who left in a hurry stood out.
"Nito, the... are you kidding me? What did I just say?
"Oh. You're not really gonna kill me, are you? I'm not as free as I'd be to be such an idiot."
Then Toa lowered her shoulders, as she was relieved.
Honestly, I'm not going to kill you.
Ask Francesca and she'll be fine, but she can't bother searching for territory.
It won't do you any good.
Is that guy a Phishanatica student?
Is that why you don't know me?
I have no idea what you meant.
More than that, now, I want to enjoy dinner.
"Toa... with me, will you dance?
I gave Toa my hand.
"... yeah"
Toa looks embarrassed and answers softly.
"Your husband! Nem is the first, so let's go!
"No, I am the first!
Two people who had grown up because the nobles had been interrupting, start fighting again.
Nem caught sight of my leg and Suphilia grabbed my left hand.
Toa grabs my right hand so I can match it.
"Then why don't we just dance together?
Then the two expressions that were musty calmed down.
And we set ourselves in the middle of the venue.
Honestly, I don't know what a dance is.
I don't like anything, and I've never been interested.
Sophilia and Toa, apparently, know each other.
Is it the princess's fecundity?
We held hands together and circled around in circles.
That's all.
I'm not a substitute for what you could call dancing.
Students around me are laughing couscous too.
But some unsure students took their hands together and stepped forward, as if they had been courageous when they saw us.
That was just it, but I kind of enjoyed it.
Plus, it was kind of funny.
There's blue flames, red roses, and black flames all around us.
They're enveloping us, creating a space just for us.
"Hey? Can you tell me this is dancing?
"Come on? But wouldn't it be nice because it's fun?
"Nem is fun too!
"I've never danced like this before... not bad"
We just went around.
Dancing around and over, looking up at red, blue and black.
That was all I enjoyed.
That's all I need.
All the time, if four of us can be together, that's all we need.
I've been...
As it were, I wanted to...
