It Is A Different World And Yet I Am Cultivating Monsters

When I entered the castle while being guided by the Emperor's brave, the hall that I had seen before was transformed into a ball.

Men and women dressed in various party dresses came and went, and luxurious dishes were prepared on tables arranged everywhere.

Among them, I saw a mixture of dishes that I had previously presented at the Grand Cuisine Competition.

"You two are the main guests this time. If you don't mind, I'd like you to enjoy it."

Me and Mina were guided to the deepest and biggest table while walking next to each other, prompted by Rostam's escort.

By the way, Mina was sitting with her spine stretched out with a nervous look just now.

"By the way, Mina. Why is Mina invited to Rostam's party again?

"Ah, uh, that's it! Rostam-san invited me to apologize for the last time....!

The word "apology" came quickly.

After that, Mina-chan remembered what she had done and apologized for it many times.

However, I don't care about the matter myself anymore, and above all, Mina said that there was no need to apologize so much because she was on the victim's side, but after all, it seems that she herself is very sorry.

Because of that, there have been some parts where we haven't been able to have a good conversation lately, so this case may be a good opportunity in a way.

I think so, when I get up from my seat, there is a pleasant melody coming from the venue.

I thought it was just right, and I reached out to Mina.

"Mina, would you like to dance with me?

"To...? Heh! Huh?!

You were surprised by the sudden invitation, and suddenly I dyed my face bright red and panicked.

Eventually, however, I took my hand out and whispered.

"... thank you... please..."

"Welcome. I've never danced before, so you're definitely not good at it, but it's nice to meet you."

"Oh, no! I've never danced before, so don't worry!

They argue that they've never danced with each other before, and they laugh at each other without thinking about it.

Then, I took Mina-chan's hand and headed towards the hall. Although it moved in a dance-like atmosphere, I still didn't know how to dance, so it was clumsy.

Rostam stood behind me with a light step next to us.

"Don't worry, Kyo-kun. Dancing is free to dance. At first, simply grab the other person's hand or hips and move freely from side to side. Soon, all you have to do is dance slowly to match the song. In fact, most of the people here are kind of dancing like that."

That's him... now, following her advice, I'm going to hold Mina's hand and dance in the hall in a way that holds her arms around my hips.

I see, this may indeed be an unexpected dance.

It may be correct to move freely according to the song rather than dancing.

Fortunately, thanks to Rostam's instructions, the songs that are currently playing are also very relaxed, and the movements that dance with them are also relaxed and easy to dance with.

I've only ever imagined dancing at these parties as a fantasy of a dream story, but it's a pleasant surprise to try.

This surprisingly makes me want to try it again.

Incidentally, Mina turned her face bright red and her eyes glued when I held her with my arms around her waist.

Uh-huh, I wonder if it's okay.

No, well, I think it's probably okay because the person looks very happy.

When I realized that, the song would be finished and our dance would be finished accordingly, and applause from the surroundings would be sent.

Apparently, it was at the center of the dance sometime, and when I noticed it again, the embarrassment came up.

"It was a great dance, both of you. Now, I'd really like you two to dance a romantic song themed dance... Hmm!

As soon as Rostam tried to say something, a woman appeared from behind her and kicked Rostam and stepped on her collapsed back.

"Oops, Cultivator! I don't know how to party with just one dancer. In this case, it's common sense to dance next time with another woman. So now you can dance with me!

That's what appeared with Doya's face in front of me and Mina-chan was the Warrior Amaness.

When you look at it, it is not the usual wearable war costume, but wearing a blue dress that seems to suit the word "beautiful woman of the world", and its appearance is reminiscent of the appearance of Valkyria, an angel of war dancing on the battlefield.

I forgot because of my usual behavior, but I was reminded that this person is also quite beautiful.

Especially since I know the whole proportions, it's so good that I'm in the top three.

Oh, by the way, the remaining two are Casalina and the female version of Rostam.

And when I made that kind of assessment in my brain, I saw a little shadow moving from behind Amaness.

"Oh, hey, Amaness, that's not true... Not you, ah, I promised to dance with you....."

"Oh, I see. Fu, I'm sorry, Lily. But it's been a long time since I've worn these dresses. My tension went up."

That's what Amaness murmured about again, pulling out the person who was hiding behind her.

"So the cultivator is brave. Once again, if you want to dance next time, please dance this Lily properly."

That said, I suddenly stunned when I saw Lily who Amanes had pulled out.

Because for a moment I couldn't recognize it as Lily.

Beautiful golden hair always had a side tail on one side of the head, but now it's all down, and long golden hair is tucking down to the waist.

The crimson dress, which matched her golden hair, did not feel flashy and appeared to envelop the tiny Lily, giving the impression of a beautiful rose.

While wrapped in such a costume, I dyed my cheeks slightly, and even as I turned my head, I noticed this slightly, or I peeked into it with a little gaze, showing a pathetic appearance, and in short - it was a very adorable appearance.

"So, um... I wonder if this...?

There was a gap between Lily and her usual adventurer, but I was more cautious than that.

"What? Ah, ahh... I think I look good on you."

"Is that so...? Ah... thank you..."

With that said, Lily took her gaze off while dyeing her cheeks and thanked her in a small voice. For some reason, her heart was thrilled again.

Oh, that's funny.

Have you ever been so aware of Lily?

When I was thinking about that, Mina, who was holding my hand next to me, unexpectedly wrapped her arm around my arm and kept her body close to me.

"Li, I'm sorry to Lily... but Kyo-san is dancing with me right now... Lily is dancing properly, ah, later...!

"! That's right... hee... hee, but, Mina. You just danced with Kyo, didn't you? You must be tired, and you don't have to dance like that in a row. Look, Amaness also said that it's common sense to change dances...."

"Heh, heh! That's right! Ha, but I'm sorry, I'm a beginner who doesn't know that well... and I'm not tired at all, so I'm fine! I can dance five more times in a row!

"Yes, no, no, that would be impossible. Above all, I have to let Kyo rest....."

Um, what is it?

This awkward atmosphere.

I feel like the two people who are supposed to be friends are scattering sparks with me.

It's not my fault... this is it.

"If you want Kyo-san to rest, I'll escort you, Lily. So, Kyo-san, take a quick break on the balcony over there...."

"Chi, wait a minute. Then Atashi will guide Kyo, and Mina will take her time at this venue. Because there are such rare dishes and patterns, it's a loss if you don't look at them."

"Yes, Lily would be the one to say that. I'm fine. I'm not interested in that."

... I don't know, seriously, it's time for this atmosphere, but somebody do something about it.

And when I thought about that, there was really arbitration from a third party.

However, with further nasty sparks.

"Kukukuku, that's it! An ordinary daily flower blooming like a poor beast princess! Even if the goddess forgives me to dictate my brother, who is a family member of the devil, I won't forgive you!

And there appeared my sister Hell in a black dress.

I usually wore a black based gossipy dress, but this suited me pretty well.

Nevertheless, I still wonder about that eyelid.

"What, you. Kyo's sister? Was there such a thing?

Ah, speaking of which, I remembered that I hadn't explained it in detail to Lily yet, and I introduced her lightly for now.

"Therefore, the right to dance with my brother lies with this dark sister. Watch our dance as you bite your lips in the place where the day falls."

"Hee hee, I don't know if you're Kyo or my brother or sister, but if you're my brother or sister, shouldn't we just give up here? I'm sure she's always with us, and a third party outside of her family should lead Kew here."

"I don't know what you're talking about! My brother and I aren't always together! In fact, I've never been able to see you when I wanted to see you apart before! Anyway, I don't want to dance with oniichan! Absolutely!

"Wow, I still want to escort a lot with Kyo-san!

When she noticed, the three girls started arguing around the circle.

After all, I had a feeling that it would be even more troublesome if I was here. I decided to keep a little distance and escape to the balcony.

I felt like I saw Rostam continue to be stepped on at the feet of the three opposing men, but for the time being, I said in my mind that there was nothing south.
