In a Different World with a Smartphone

As the gentle melodies begin to flow, the men and women who were in the dance hall dance out slowly. At this ball, which originally had many noble children, there are fewer who cannot dance. Most of Brunhild's attendees are not aristocratic children, but only the basics are tapped in so that they can dance.

"Ball," but you don't have to dance. You don't have to dance. However, I can't enjoy that I can't dance when I'm invited, and I can shame them...... and Yumina and Lou say, so our attendees got the lowest level of dance to dance.

Dancing now are a few aristocratic children who are good at dancing in various countries, who asked me to be the first to dance. Most other participants would be around the hall or in the garden, where they would still be watching.

Because I'm wearing a mask, it doesn't start with not talking to them. You can invite her to the dance if you feel like it, or you can take a walk in the garden.

But first of all, it looks like people from the same country are hardening each other. Well, maybe I don't have a choice.

"Still, there are people talking to you. Oh, that's our guy."

King Leanier, who was next to me, was peeking downstairs with an opera glass with a handle from the second floor of the dance hall. Not just Leanier but other countries as well, but each country seems to have some landmark on the participants in their own place. You think it's an aligned brooch or a cuff button?

"Dear Cloud... I don't know if you'd like to take much of a peek, do you? We're all working hard to find a lifetime companion."

"Oh, no, that's not what I meant. 'Cause it's something I was just wondering."

When embarrassed by his fiancée, who was on the other side of me, King Leanier Cloud rushed back to me with the opera glass he had in his hand.

The First Princess of the Kingdom of Paloof, Lucienne Deere Paloof. She is the sister of Ernest Boy King, now king of Paloof, and in a few months she will be Queen Lenier. A gentle woman who is not flashy but calm.

Princess Lucienne said oh, but in fact, just like King Leanier, several people were watching the dance hall downstairs from this corridor "Gallery" upstairs.

Many of the participants have sons, daughters and siblings of their own. Never mind, it is more impossible.

If you put your gaze back upstairs, in the Great Hall behind the corridor, heavy ministers from all over the country greeted each other with one hand of champagne. Our group of kings had just exchanged a gentle introduction and greeting.

Back world...... some people are still shallow with the representatives of the Western continent. I'm definitely the one involved with the most countries on the Western continent. I had to take it between them and stand around to make it easier for them to greet each other. Honestly I'm sorry...... but this is also your job. I did it right.

Ma, I'm done greeting one street for now, so I was taking a break.

Princess Lucienne turns her gaze toward the Great Hall.

"It's been a long time since Ernesto's been mixed up with kids his age."

"You're usually mixed up among the adults. I figured it would be easier for us to talk than it is for us."

Ahead of Princess Lucienne's gaze was discussed by her younger brother, King Boy of Palouf and his fiancée Rachel, Princes Remza and Aruba II of Mismid, Princess Milnea II to Princess Lilac I of the Kingdom of Hannock, and the former Prince of the Gardio Empire… the Lucreción boy, who now became the border uncle of Levé.

They are all boys and girls around the age of ten. Is it still easier to talk to the same age, the new king's scheme in Dowburn, the flaming country, and Frost, the new king of Zardonia, the ice country as well, were discussing it with the stepbrother Reinhardt of the Knight of Restia. You're one of the new kings. Well, me and my neighbor King Leanier are both the new King, Stomach.

Yumina and the others mingle among the queens and chat happily. Maybe you're asking me something sensible about being queen. Else, Linze and Octave, who are unfamiliar with these places, obviously had a stiff smile, though. There's no choice now, is there? One of these days you will be able to behave naturally.

The kings of each country also split into several groups and seemed to enjoy the welcome. This one's going to go fine. Well, I wonder what's going on over there.

At the end of a few songs, I break up with King Leanier and turn to the balcony.

From the balcony I could see the participants discussing in the courtyard below. Men who talk to women all the time and women who enjoy tea at tables placed in the open seem to enjoy their thoughts. Looks good over here, too.

Well, let's just say that.

It would be rude if I said it was unexpected. What a wonder that all the kings who excelled in martial arts are on this balcony, such as the Beast King of Mismid, the Magic King of Ferzen, the Martial King of the Kingdom of Raze, and the Sun King of the Kingdom of Igret. I don't think it's the type of person who cares much about other people's romantic affairs.

I've been watching the participants downstairs for a lot of fun.... I don't know what you're up to, do you?

"Oh. Has His Majesty also come to see?

"A sight?"

The Beast King of Mithmid greeted me on the balcony with one hand of champagne.

What are you looking at? I don't think he was planning on performing anything. Well, the whereabouts of love may be a sight to see.

Looking around, for some reason, the balcony has reef leash restorers. Has anyone gotten sick?

"Uh, what happened?

"Something's happening, or it could happen."

In a bitter mix of laughter, Ferzen's Magic King faces King Mismid Beast.

"These are the ones that come with these seats. I think it's time."

I don't know why. As I twisted my neck, King Igretto pounded, my shoulder. You look pretty rare in a chic tuxedo, not your usual native American ethnic costume. Biscuit dictates. Originally, I'm a man, so whatever I wear looks good on me. Then there must be seven wives.

"Didn't the Duke have a lot of experience attending these parties when he was single?

"Well... I was an adventurer. I went to parties within my family and alliance."

"They're young. Young, but not bent. The unbenders sometimes collide with each other and their claims. Therefore…"

I heard people arguing from the courtyard to block King Igret's words. What the fuck?

"Oops, has it begun"

"Here we go?

Looking down the courtyard from the balcony with King Igretto, the two men stare at each other in a mask. We both had an atmosphere of one-touch immediacy, and the people around us watched it far-flung.

"Is this a fight?

"Well, you are. It's common in these seats. Probably parents and masters come out and try to settle the spear, but sometimes they don't. A duel or something."

"Duel!?

Hey, isn't a duel a killer!? Exactly. That's crazy!

"Don't panic. I won't let you exchange your life. In these cases, we just set the rules and let them compete. Provided that no matter which wins or loses, there will be no remorse. Break it and you'll be scolded with shame."

"Set the rules?... Is that a rush, but let's go?

"Hmmm, I haven't heard that much...... I've heard stories about how fast you fought on horses. What do you say, peaceful?

That's a lot of peaceful duel for sure...... Well, it's much better than an exchange of lives... I know that these rubs are best settled by the parties alone. If it's a peaceful battle, I've never done it.

"It's probably a beating."

"What the hell is peaceful...?

You can't! You're as violent as you want! Soon His Majesty King Ferzen, who was lying beside him, laughs karakara.

"That's what you should be doing when you're young. I'd rather let him diverge than accumulate weird. That's why the healers are holding back."

So what! I was wondering why you're here...! You're too preppy... is that what happens on a daily basis at these parties? I couldn't help but rub more if people got together...

"Wouldn't that mask be so easy to take off, would it?

"Huh? Oh, right. If it comes off because of a bump, it doesn't have an ex or a child, so if you don't say the predetermined word" keyword, "it doesn't come off."

"What it means is that a prince or a nobleman's three boys can do it without identity or relationship. If you weren't in the same position, you'd be done with arbitration."

"Mm-hmm. No identity or anything like that for a fight between men. Only push the path you believe in with your own fists"

The Beast King of Mismid and the Wu King of Raze smile and look down at the two under their eyes. You know what? So...

A witness enters between them afterwards, wondering if the beating will begin, and they both disappear into the back of the garden with the witness. Several galleries followed with it.

"Did you just notice it would be a nuisance around you? Looks like you're changing places. All of them, let's go."

"Aren't you a wild horse after all..."

"Hahahaha! What you should see today is more of a man's willingness tenacity than sex!

Brain muscle kings leave like wind before me. [M] No, sex is the main thing today......

"Damn......"

Seems like some participants go wild horses like those guys, but most of them stayed in the courtyard and enjoyed the conversation. Many have already set their aim and moved.

Some groups have one woman dealing with more than one man and vice versa. I wonder if hot people are seeping out hot elements even though they don't know by the effect of a mask such as appearance.

Dealing with conversations, tricks, hips, situations... I guess people come out in places like that.

"... that?

Second, my eyes stop on one person in the courtyard under my eyes. Away from those who enjoyed the party, one of the women fell on a tree in the courtyard and leaned down.

I would have thought she was a passive woman who couldn't move from herself at a party, said to be the so-called 'wall flower' if that was all.

But I don't think that person would ever fit into that.

Because that gaze of leaning over was directed at the smartphone at hand and he was smashing something into it at high speed with a bump.

Few have mass-produced smartphones made by the Doctor. I will confine myself to the top of the allies and their ministers, and then to my friends and so on. Regardless of who's upstairs in another venue, it's enough to count people from Brunhild as attending the party.

I mean, you're definitely Princess Liliel...

His fingers continue to dance on the smartphone without stopping as he releases his impatient aura. No, I'm talking about dancing over there. You're definitely writing a manuscript......

If King Leaf Reese sees me like this, I'll take it up again. You're not reflecting at all.

"Ooh. You were here, Winter Night Hall"

"Ooh!?

"Hello?

Rumor has it that father appeared only in shadows. Turning around, there stood King Leaf Reese with a glass in his hand, and King Belfast, Queen Elphrau.

"Take, you've finally begun! Hey, it's fun!

"Yeah? No, well, if you're having fun..."

Laughing deceptively, I step forward. [M] Oh, my God. That's my father. If I saw that look, I could tell it was Princess Liliel, even in a mask. As much as I can tell.

"Uh, oh, shit, speaking of which, what about Prince Liddis?

"Oh, Lydice would be over there..."

"Over there! Oh, I'd like to give you something to celebrate my engagement, could you take me with you!?

I think it's forceful while I'm at it, but we have to get His Majesty the King away from here anyway. Princess Lilliel's brother, Prince Liddis, and Princess Tia of Mismid announced their engagement a long time ago, but they haven't sent any celebratory items. I sent it as a country, but not yet as an individual.

"Ho. A gift from the Winter Night Hall? Something unusual again, isn't it?

"Yeah, let's do that. This is the most rare item I bought on my honeymoon. I was wondering if Prince Liddis would be pleased."

He directs the three to the corridor Gallery again, nodding to the voice of King Belfast, who flew from side to side.

Mm-hmm, why am I following you like this...

I immediately found Prince Liddis and Princess Tia, so I take the intended out of the many souvenirs I bought on Earth from [Storage].

"This is...!

"Wow! Beautiful...!

Inside that crystal sphere I took out was a small house and a reindeer miniature with liquid, and sparkling little pieces of it descended through it as if it were snow.

This is called 'Snow Gloves' and 'Snow Domes' in Japan. Glad you bought some of what you were selling at the souvenir shop.

He was so happy to hand the snow gloves to the two of us. It looks at the glittering landscape as it flips over.

"Is this a souvenir of Elphrau?

"Uh, no, from a different country,"

I can't say it's from a different world, and I duly ask His Majesty King Belfast a question. I also gave the two of them the magic of [the program] so that the snow inside would dance without having to flip.

"Hmm...... Surely this is a great thing. It is a good representation of the beauty of the snow country. This... sells."

Queen Elfrau's eyes glowing with Kieran as she watched the snowglobe more than the two she handed over. The look was very similar to that of his niece, Guildmaster, Mr. Relisha.

I had a hunch that Snow Globes would be offered to the world as a specialty of the Elphrau Kingdom.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Oh, why do I have to come out to a ceremony like this at a time like this anymore...!

I leaked my stupidity in a small voice as I typed letters on my smartphone. Deadline expires tomorrow morning. I have to manage to finish it by the end of the day and hand over the manuscript printed with the magic props I have in my room to my rep in the morning in Ichi.

I don't have time. Even I'm wasting my time being featured on my smartphone. Plus the costumes of this party consume precious time with greetings to the same Leafleash nobility.

All in a hurry, more mishits. Correct each time to see if there are any mistakes. I can see myself getting more and more frustrated and feeling, but I can't help it.

"Excuse me, are you alone?

"... alone, anything?

Again. A man with a golden mask stood with a glass of champagne when he raised his face slightly.

This is the fourth time I've been called out. Even though it was depressing and moved from the hall to this way. Why are you calling out to me, not the others, when you're wearing a mask?

"Tell me if you don't mind."

"I'm in time. Go elsewhere."

"Ha ha, I can't believe it."

The man came to the side familiarly, even though the three of us had been able to repel him with this. And he peeks into me. What is it now?

"That's a magic trick made in Brunhild, isn't it? Hey, are you from Brunhild?

"No. This is... ah"

"Heh..."

Shit, it was late when I thought. The owner of a smartphone made by Lord Brunhild's King is limited to the royal family of another country, or his chief minister, unless he is an associate. This is like revealing that identity yourself.

Well, have the men who have ever spoken also looked at the smartphone (this) and spoken?

"That's enough, isn't it? Why don't you go over there?

"Don't say that. There's some delicious alcohol over there. Why don't you have a drink with me over there? It's gonna be fun."

Disgusted by a man who persists in eating down, he turns off his smartphone and puts it in the pocket of his dress. If the other side doesn't walk away, just get away from us.

So I walked out of my arms, and the man's hand casually grabbed me disappointed.

"Stop it! Let go!"

"If I let you go, will you drink with me? Just one drink! Just one drink..."

When I look at the man who laughs at me, the discomfort runs all over my body. I don't really know the direct expression with the mask covering the top half, but I felt that emotions such as its lower heart and ambition seemed clear.

Scary. Raggedly grabbed arms tremble. If you identify yourself here and ask someone for help, maybe you'll be safe. But that means ruining this party. It could also result in applying mud to the face of your father, the organizer.

"It's not here anyway, and let's go that way. It's okay, I won't do anything."

"Yikes......!

I can't resist the power that draws me much more, and I'm about to be taken. Stop it! Let go!

"He doesn't seem to like it."

"Ah?"

The man with the golden mask and I turn forward to the voice spoken by accident. There stood a man in a black tuxedo on a simple black mask.

"What are you...? Don't interrupt."

"No, I didn't mean to interrupt. Because it seemed that your woman hated it. Was it an extra favor?

Turn to me, a black masked man asks. I shook my head beside it and desperately shook off the hand of the man I was grabbing and ran over to the man with the black mask.

"Are you all right?

"Yes..."

My hands still trembled and I couldn't say I was very ok, but I could answer that for now.

"This one doesn't seem to feel well, so please pick it up. I think you should invite someone else, right?

"Squeeze out of the side, and don't skip the unsolicited! Holy crap...! Grr!?"

Gold masked man's hand stretches out rampantly, as it did when I did. But the black-masked man shunned it, took his arm and turned it around the other's back, twisting it up. It's a habitual move. Is it a knight?

"... if you want to do any more, do you really want me to deal with you?

"Damn it... let go, you bastard!

A man with a black mask lets go of his hand in the words of a gold mask. The liberated gold mask rubbed his arm, 'Shit!' and left with a loud tongue.

I felt ho relieved that the man had left. Because I thought, like the men who had earlier made noise, that a duel kind of feud would begin.

When I felt safe, I suddenly lost my strength.

"Oops."

"Ah..."

A black masked man supported me as I was about to enter the ground. I don't feel disgusted like the man I was earlier, even though he's grabbed my arm in the same way. On the contrary, I felt a strange relief. I don't know, this feeling.

Sit back on a nearby bench and calm down.

"Are you all right? Shall I bring you some cold water?

"Yes, no. I'm fine, thank you for your help…"

Once again to thank you, Mr. Black Mask felt like he smiled slightly. It's a little weird that I can't see that smile because of the mask.... Why?

"Okay, I'm on this. Excuse me."

"Oh, that! also, can you just stay here a little longer......? Well, maybe the other guy will come back..."

I somehow rushed to speak to Mr. Black Mask trying to walk away with a gratuity. My voice flips weirdly because of my impatience, and I get embarrassed.

"Right. Then just a little more."

"Yes! Thanks!

That's what Mr. Black Mask said. He lowered his hips beside me.

Frequent silence. While I think I need to talk to you about something, I can't think of anything. Even a writer, desperately looking for words to talk about if there's anything to talk about, but all that comes up is something that isn't such a topic that you can talk to a very first person man. Erm, erm.

"Hey, it's warm today!

"Right."

Shit......! The subject of weather! Because that's the most boring one!

Next! What's the next topic......! Something or nothing. I went around in my head, and I couldn't figure it out. Why am I here?

I can't believe we can't even talk normally...... it's lame.... my pity made me cry.

A white handkerchief is offered to me from the side like that.

"You don't have to. I'll stay here until you calm down."

"Subiba, señor..."

Probably thought he was crying about the guy earlier. Not even willing to correct that, I wiped my tears with a borrowed handkerchief.

Eventually I felt calm and even after Mr. Black Mask walked away, I was looking up at one of the blue skies on that bench.
