Legend

Ray was confident in his health, but still, he was so unsolicited in fighting monsters and imitating things like dancing in public like this.

It wasn't supposed to be that much exercise for Ray, but it must still have been tiring for Ray to dance while being watched by a lot of people.

"Phew."

A maid drank at once the fruit water prepared for me by a maid who worked as a service for the party, not Miranda, and finally a breath of relief was exhaled from Ray's mouth.

That's how she sees Ray hoping for another glass of fruit water for her maid, and Elaine opens her mouth with a grin.

"Phew, you seem more tired than I thought"

"Right. A little more than I expected...... no, I'm pretty tired. When Elaine and I were dancing alone, I didn't feel so tired."

"It's probably because there were so many people watching around."

This one also told Elaine as she received fruit water from the maid, Ray glanced around and gave her a convincing look.

Many are gazing at the sight of Liberté and Arcadia dancing, but many are gazing at Ray and Elaine.

Such people softly slip away from their gaze when, for some reason, they are in contact with Ray.

(No, it's nothing. I don't mind anyone biting him, either, do I?... Ah, so to speak)

With the word bite, Ray remembers Leelyn and looks for that figure.

As far as how it was tangled up in Elaine, maybe she's still at the party venue.

That's what I thought, but that figure isn't in the venue anymore.

Neither does Elaine's condition have the colour she was already frustrated by her earlier interaction with Leelyn.

I guess that frustration was also largely eliminated by dancing with Ray.

"Ray? What's up?

"No, it's nothing"

To Elaine's inquiry, Ray misrepresents the story by saying so.

If I said something here in the middle of nowhere, it could have reminded me of Leelyn, who I have now forgotten.

"Really?... Nevertheless, your father and mother seem to enjoy dancing. Don't you think?

"From what I can tell, I don't think it's as good as that."

Can't Elaine understand what Ray said? I'm going to turn a gaze like that.

But from Ray's eyes, he looked normal and gracefully dancing, but still didn't look particularly enjoyable.

Being with Liberté hasn't been that long, Ray can only convince me that if Elaine says so.

"Hey, Ray. How long have you been practicing dancing?

What has interrupted Ray's conversation with Elaine is Bluitt.

I guess I didn't think Ray could dance all that much.

I smile at winds like funnier hearts and carry the wine in my hand to my mouth...... I feel slightly sorry for it.

"What's up? I don't think that wine tastes that bad."

See how Bruit goes and Elaine asks instantly.

If you try Elaine, I have the feeling that this party should not be more clueless than it is being held by the Duke of Kelevel family.

That's why I asked her how Bruit was... shaking her neck sideways saying that Bruit was nothing to Elaine like that.

"Oh, I don't have a problem with the taste of wine. However, I don't like this kind of fine wine that I can't drink, but I don't like it that much. I prefer ales served in taverns all over the city."

As for Bruit, who often goes out all over the city on his own, he preferred ales that ordinary people could drink rather than wines like the ones that nobles and rich people would drink.... Bruit is also a historical nobleman.

That's why I couldn't drink much of the liquor I preferred in places like this, and I still wasn't happy with the taste of wine.

While I am there, I have a keen sense that the quality of the wine I drink is good.

"Right.... If it's okay, I'll bring some of Yale's, too?

"No, it's fine. Drinking ale on these occasions is a bit.... than that. Like I said, how can Ray dance so much? Look, the others are still looking at Ray, right?

Bruit looks around, telling Elaine not to care.

When Ray turns his gaze so that he can follow it, as many nobles gaze at Ray, he hastily shifts his gaze, smiles and lowers his head small, some of whom look like a woman dyeing her thin cheeks red.

I didn't just dance with Elaine, but the dance was enough to make some of the nobles attending this party admit it.

Only some nobles have admitted Ray, and many of them are still hostile to Ray, as is natural.

But still, there were no aristocrats to think about getting tangled up in the current rays, etc.

Exactly. There were aristocrats who still wanted to get involved in Ray, but they were stopped by the aristocrats around them.

While some aristocrats are favoring Ray, if they imitate that entanglement in Ray, that aristocrat will undoubtedly be turned to the gaze of contempt within the social world.

Nobility is not all about reputation, but its impact is enormous.

If so, no one would normally want to act in such a way that it would have such a bad reputation.

"... well. You seem to like it a lot. Was that woman Viscount Moore's sister? She was a famous woman when she was cute... but Ray couldn't stay in the corner either."

Look at Ray. Look at the woman dyeing her cheeks red, and Elaine says so and laughs.... I laugh, but Elaine's eyes were never laughing.

I'm laughing but I'm not laughing.

Ray, with such a gaze on him, wonders what to say in such a way as, uh...

I know what Elaine cares, but I was wondering if I could get that out of my mouth here.

(In the first place, I think Elaine was tolerant of polygamy... is this different from that again?

Or because the other person was someone like Marina or Vihera?

Either way, Ray opens his mouth as he zits his eyes to the blue-it that looks like an interesting gaze.

"Just say you don't have to worry about it for now..."

".................. ho"

It was the same word as a few seconds ago, but the time before that word came out was definitely increasing.

Elaine blushes her cheeks more than the woman she called Viscount Moore's sister for what she thought of Ray's words and says nothing more.

"Come on. No, you guys are funny at all."

Comparing such Ray to Elaine, Bruit told her that in such a way that she could not enjoy the laugh.

Some of those words have a teasing color, though I'd say it sounds like a blue-it.

"So.... What are we going to do now? About another time, you want to dance?

"I'm pretty tired of dancing earlier. If I can, I don't want to dance anymore today.... I told Elaine, I didn't think it would be this tiring to dance with attention."

"I guess. I have experience with that, too."

"... Bruit? That's why it doesn't look like a good dancer for Bruit."

"You know, Ray seems completely oblivious, but I'm the next head of the Count family for once. I can usually do that kind of thing.... Unlike someone else."

It's obvious who that person indicates, Bruit tells Ray with a slightly ill-intentioned grin.

I guess such a blue-it attitude wasn't funny. Ray grins and opens his mouth as he looks at Bruit's face.

"Being able to dance and dancing with someone is another story, isn't it?... Well, does Bruit have someone to dance with?

"Guru, Ko, this..."

Bruit also understands that his body is large.

Fighting all over the city can help no more than that giant, but I also understood that dancing in such a party setting is not suitable.

Because some aristocratic women even scream just because they see the size of Bruit's body.

No one wants to dance with such a bluight... but it was also true that there are not that many.

"Phew."

A grin leaks inadvertently from Elaine's mouth watching Ray and Bluitt interact like that.

Though I tried to endure it, I couldn't seem to endure it, such a grin.

She is gazed at by both Ray and Bruit in a sudden grin, and Elaine apologizes with a laugh.

"Shh, sorry. Ray and Bluitt are having an interesting conversation. With…"

"Was that so funny? I don't think it's that far."

"No, you guys are breathing a lot. That's like old best friends."

"Ugh."

To the words out of Elaine's mouth, Ray and Bruit all raise their voices in disgust.

That was breathtaking again and once again inspired Elaine's laughing bumps.

Normally, Elaine wouldn't have imitated things like laughing so loud so far either.

There was no doubt that that was happening now because this was still the place for the party, where Ray and I were dancing and feeling so excited.

"Uh... for now. Shouldn't we look over there?

Having decided that saying anything more in this matter would only make Elaine's topic worse, Bruit notices one old woman looking at herself with a full grin and shows her to look at you.

The old woman, naturally, was a person I remember for Ray and for Elaine.

Lemuria, you're back.

I know you didn't hear Ray whining like that, but Remlia comes closer to the Rays with a grin.

He looks very upbeat, probably because he succeeded in sending Seto's fresh wings to his territory.

Yes, Ray thought...

"Whoo-hoo. Doesn't it look like you've done something fancy?

Lemuria, who tells him that with a good smile of people, had a clean look on her face somewhere when she saw the nobles watching what was going on around her.

Regardless of who knows that Ray left the party venue with Remlia earlier, many people don't know that at this wide party venue.

So, what does Ray and Lemuria have to do with this? And there are never many who doubt it.

Someone I know asks me about the area, and some people are surprised, and many are convinced that Ray is an adventurer with an alias.

Ray speaks to Lemuria even as he feels slightly fed up with his gaze from more surroundings.

"That was fast."

Takeshi.

Many of those who heard such Ray's words marvel at Ray's wording.

I know you're an adventurer, but I didn't know you'd say such a word to someone who would still be the Duke's head.

Remlia is now known for her serene character, but until more than a decade ago she was famous as a bearer of intense temperament.

That is to the extent that it is not uncommon to impose harsh manners on those who have worked disrespectfully against themselves.

So if this is how you worded it like Ray... and few thought so.

There were even those who did not care about Ray who wished they had been caught in terrible sight at the hands of Lemuria... but the hope of such people never came through.

"Mm-hmm. We're hiring him because we can summon monsters with excellent speed."

Lemuria, who complains satisfactorily, doesn't seem to be offended by Ray's language.

Naturally, there will be a lot of people who think so about what the hell happened.

But Lemuria doesn't look like she cared about such surrounding gaze at all, and goes on with the words.

"So, I'd like to pay you for the request, but what are we gonna do?

"Does that mean when you're free?

"Bye. That's what I'm trying to say whenever the Lord is free, but I can't stay here forever because I hate him. So if you can, I want you to come tomorrow or so."

"Okay. I can't promise for sure, but I'll do whatever I can."

To Ray's words, Lemuria had a satisfying grin.
