I Favor the Villainess

"One, two, three, one, two, three... Ouch!

"Excuse me, Master Claire!

I stepped on Master Claire's stomach and I hurriedly uttered words of apology.

How many times is this?

I can't wipe my depressed feelings.

"Never mind, Ray. I'm used to this."

Master Claire laughed brightly and said so.

An angel, I guess.

This is a dance hall in the Academy.

It is a place that is usually used for dance lectures, but is open to scholars after school for the ball.

It is a room with a large space, a floor of sakura wood, and a mirror on all sides.

Sakura wood is the wood used on the floor, and the name is birch tree on the back.

It has characteristics such as good strength and stickiness with little madness and is strong, making it ideal as a floor covering for the dance floor.

There are other Lana, Eve, and Philine on this occasion.

Especially Philine looks at me with envy that teaches Master Claire.

You dance would be perfect in imperial education.

"I figured I, maybe the ball should be a flower on the wall"

Even Claire taught me this.

Dance is too difficult, it's going to screw up.

"What are you talking about? Are you gonna leave me alone?

"I don't mean to."

I don't like that we can't dance together, but as it is, Master Claire's feet are all over the place.

"Then let's dance with me, Claire!

Philine raised her hand all the time that she was here.

However,

"I can dance with Ray."

"... you're strong, Claire"

"Don't be rude. But my partner is still Ray."

That's what I say and laugh healthy, Master Claire.

Yeah, you're an angel.

"Hey, Ray. How can I corrupt Claire?

It's not about asking Claire's lover, is it?

Why did you think you could tell me?

"What do you say? The words of those who corrupted Claire would be most helpful, wouldn't they?

"Is that reasonable, asshole? Can you make it one way or the other?"

This princess is not supposed to be retarded, but don't get pompous as soon as Claire gets involved.

"I knew it was a chest."

"Is Lady Claire Osama or something?"

"But beautiful breasts are something that appeals to both men and women... Oh, yeah, you don't have breasts. Yeah."

"Where did you just look at me and say?

"What?"

"Okay, shall I show you"

If it's a fight, I'll buy it, I'm kidding.

"... that you guys don't get along with me much lately?

Lady Claire was watching us with her slightly seated eyes.

"Oh, dear Claire, did you get a little jella?

It's Jera.

"That's honest, isn't it?

"I like Ray, so I can't help but hide my jealousy, can I?

Hehe, I'm a little happy.

"... you show it off"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Master Filine"

"It's okay. Even Ray spent a lot of time with Claire, didn't he? I don't have to rush."

"No, so I'd like you to hit something else."

"Kiko, uh, nah!

Filine covering her ears and earring.

There's been a lot of pounding lately.

"But, Lacence, it's a lot better than when you started practicing! At this rate, you'll be able to dance before Claire Sense's leg crushes, won't you?

It is Lana who tells him to tease.

Looking over, Eve is also by herself confirming the steps of the dance.

"Lana doesn't practice?

"What, Atashi? Atashi... Look, I can't do that."

That's what Lana laughed as she clouded her expression a little.

I wonder what that means, Lana continued before asking.

"I can't dance, but I look forward to being seen in Laisense's dress -!

"You're not going to dance?

"So far. Oh, but if Sense can teach you, maybe we'll dance?

"Sorry, I might be all over myself"

"Haha, look and you'll see -!

Lana was already her usual girlfriend.

What the hell was that shade of atmosphere I showed you for a second?

"Eve doesn't seem like a problem at all, does he? I don't know anything about dancing, Atashi, but I know I can dance pretty, and no."

"... thanks"

In reply to Lana just one word, Eve keeps taking steps silently.

Lana is right, and there is no good in its footsteps.

Do you have experience in dancing?

Eve, you're good.

"... hmm"

As always, Eve hates me.

I don't mind, but I still feel better being liked than hated.

I've been so busy here that I haven't been able to talk to Eve in the end.

"Hey, Eve -"

"Look, Ray. I'll start again."

"Oh, yes."

Master Claire told me to resume my practice and I lost my chance to talk to Eve again.

Hmm.

"I've been practicing from a very early step, but you two didn't experience dancing in the kingdom? That's not true, is it? Claire was a nobleman."

"Yeah, I have a lot of experience in dancing. But the dance of the empire is a little different from that of the kingdom."

"Specifically, there's a different division of roles when dancing between same-sex people."

"Oh, I see"

As I said before, same-sex marriage is permitted in the Empire.

Because of this national pattern, same-sex role sharing is also available for nature and dance.

What we're practicing right now is if women dance with each other.

This is something Bauer didn't have, so I have to remember it back from the beginning.

"That makes a lot of difference in proficiency. Claire seems perfectly familiar already, but Ray seems to have danced for the first time"

"Lady Claire originally had a great motor nerve, and her dance skills are not comparable to mine."

"I don't think I'm such a big deal, but Ray's a little bad at dancing."

I think I said this before when I practiced service dance, but this body is very bad at dancing.

I think it's because of the setting that the protagonist of Revolution unmarked is very bad at dancing, but my body doesn't move any better than I did in my previous life.

Others are very good bodies, so I can't complain.

"Really...... But I envy Ray. I can't believe you told a good partner like Claire."

"Even Master Filine must have been taught by a good teacher?

"Sure, he was an excellent man, but he was a very tough teacher. Compared to that, there is love in the way Claire teaches"

"Love, Master Claire."

"I'm in, a lot. Though there are whips."

Whip to Master Claire, isn't that the perfect combination?

I say no, but I'm not a mazohist.

... maybe.

"But it's nice to know that same-sex dance is officially recognized"

"Sounds like it. If you're from overseas, you all say so."

"If you were a Bauer, you'd see it with a rather strange eye."

I didn't have a good image of the Empire at all during the revolution, but when I actually came to the ground like this, I don't think it's all bad.

The Dorothea did it, but the Empire could marry Claire.

"Dear Claire, would you like to marry me?

"Bu!? What are you talking about all of a sudden? Oh, sorry, buckwheat."

For the first time, Lady Claire took my foot by mistake.

Would it have been too abrupt for a boulder?

"No, I thought if we moved to the Empire, we could get married."

"Is Ray obsessed with that form of thing?

"No, you don't, though."

"Then it's fine as it is now. Whatever the legal relationship, me and Ray are partners. If that's how we know each other and the people close to us acknowledge it, that's fine."

"You're right."

Good.

Master Claire seems to feel the same way about me.

"And..."

"And?"

"You promised May and Alea, didn't you? I'm sure I'll go home."

Yes, it was.

We came out saying we were coming.

I can't bury any more bones in the empire than I have a place to go home.

"Thank you, Master Claire"

You're welcome. Come on, I'll keep practicing.

Resume practicing the steps.

I felt my legs lighter than earlier.

"... if you're going to imitate the way Ray said it... rear charge explode..."

Philine's soliloquy, of course, pretended not to listen.
