When the campfire was ready, Andre and the others placed a bundle of firewood in the middle and filled the gap in the wood with firewood.
As I was getting ready, the sky gradually darkened.
Alright, let's light the fire already!
Bonfires have already been built around the area, and the villagers are still gathering.
It was obvious that everyone wanted a strong flame.
When André had prepared the torch stick, he lit the firewood he had drawn.
Slowly a small fire lights up. The fire quickly grew and burned as the villagers chanted their magic to create a breeze.
A big flame lit up and the villagers cheered.
The sound of firewood bursting.
A campfire of this magnitude would make the difference.
The flames burning against the backdrop of the dark sky were so beautiful that they warmly enveloped us.
It was autumn and the air was slightly cooler, but it was warm because of the big flames.
In the central square, each villager brought food he bought from the stalls and food he cooked at home, and each of them started eating in their favorite place.
There were some families that did their pride in cooking, and many villagers packed the place.
"What about dinner?"
Do you want to buy and eat at the stall appropriately?
We were helping with the campfire and all, and of course we couldn't have cooked.
Crete-san, Alte-san, Carmilla-san, come here!
There's so much to eat!
When I was talking, Stella called me at the corner of the table.
You've got André, Olga, Mira, Refiglia, Angelica, and Griff.
"Oh, lots of food!" Can we eat too? "
"Yes, please."
Thank you!
Stella and the others invited us to sit down in our spare seats.
●
While enjoying dinner with Olga and the others, music rang out of nowhere.
As he gazed, one of the villagers began to play a stringed instrument like a lute.
Other villagers began to take out instruments like drums and flutes to catch them.
In time, the central square was enveloped by the cheerful sound, and the villagers danced out to be lured by the sound.
One by one, they danced again, and sometime many villagers were dancing around the campfire.
Nevertheless, many of the dancers are couples and lovers. A single person like myself without a partner doesn't have the courage to go out there for a while.
That is why men and women will speak to each other.
Around me, I heard a rustling voice inviting me to the dance.
Her face turned bright red and she smiled very much at the way she was inviting her. It is very lively when the adults are watching over it with niya, and making a fuss.
“I see. This is what a campfire is all about.”
“Yes, that's why unmarried people are putting themselves in the mood for this day.”
Stella nodded in agreement with my words.
In a village like the countryside, where there are not as many people as in the capital of the kingdom, such a celebration would be a wedding event.
I thought there was a strange air that floated as the night went by, but was this the cause?
"Oh! This is the dance of the village!" Nina, let's go dance! "
Yeah!
Seeing everyone dance, Alte takes Nina and dances.
It seems that not all of them are for marriage, but to dance even among these close same-sex couples.
Nevertheless, it is true that men do not often dance with each other. Dare men to dance in pairs and be laughed at, but that's a complete story.
In the distance, Emilio is heard by a large number of village daughters.
If you're so refreshingly handsome and rich, there's no way a girl can have no luck.
I also wanted to see Emilio's troubled condition, but I stopped watching because I felt like I was dealing with everyone.
"Doesn't Crete invite someone to dance?"
While watching Andre dance blurry while drinking his ale, he comes to me with a small collision.
"I won't invite you." Besides, I can't dance. "
"You don't have to dance like that." All you have to do is move your body to the right sound. It's a good time to invite someone over. Isn't there somebody who cares? "
"Hmm, there's no one like that in particular. I've been busy preparing the foundations for my two bases and having fun this year.”
"What about Lefelia?" From the side, it looks pretty good, doesn't it? "
"Well, I don't have any particular feelings about that."
Refilia is very beautiful and has a gentle personality.
The painting is excellent, and I think it is a very respectable and lovely woman with a strong core.
However, since my first encounter was at work, I can't imagine myself as a business partner.
Well, I don't think I'm going to be dealing with that sort of thing.
Seriously, you're withered.
Andre's face is dazzled when he says something like that.
Even though I am young but dead, I can't help it.
Now I want to enjoy a more relaxed life than in love. That was all.
"Alright, Crete! Next time, I'll dance with you!"
"No! No, I can't dance."
"Don't say such boring things. Don't blame my opponent without telling me!"
"Um, uh, is that okay, Carmilla?" You can't do this, can you? "
"... there's nothing wrong with dancing with Lord Arte"
I asked, but the words returned were affirmative.
It's bad to dance with Artimisia, but I'm sure it won't be a problem for the civilian Alte.
For my part, I wanted you to stop it for a good reason.
"I don't get along well!" Are you willing to let go of the invitation from the woman! "
I got it, I got it.
If you say so, I can't refuse either.
Alte forced me to go to the central square.
What am I supposed to do?
"Don't worry, you can leave it to me."
Alté took my hand and began to move his body in spite of the bewilderment.
When Alte moved, my body moved to be pulled by it.
Even though I've never danced, I'm surprised that my body moved naturally.
No, I'm not moving, I'm being moved by Alte.
When Alte moves the center of gravity, it pulls my center of gravity. Once the flow of movement had been made, all that remained was to commit to what Alte had said.
Alte is really right.
That's right. You're doing great, aren't you?
"Wow, it's like I'm getting better at dancing myself. As expected, the princess is the only one who can dance well."
"This kind of technology is absolutely necessary for adventure."
Whispering in a small voice for the last time, Alte said as she turned away her gaze.
I don't think an ordinary princess would become an adventurer.
It seems that Arte is the place where such words come out immediately.
I continued to dance with the accompaniment while being guided by Alte. At the end of one song, Alte and I went back to where we came from.
"The last one had the basic steps." The muscles weren't bad inside, were they? "
"Really? I'm glad."
Along the way, I tried to mimic the steps that Alte had used many times and set the rhythm for myself, but that seemed to be the right answer.
"I was dancing with Crete too!"
Nina took my hand and said, breathing slowly.
Huh? With me?
Yeah, let's dance.
Nina's expression was full of anticipation, but Andre, who was in front of her, was looking at us with an amazing expression.
However, the sharp gaze was forcibly dispersed. The dancing Stella forced Andre's neck toward herself.
I heard a thrilling sound, but is his neck okay?
As she continued to ask, Stella smiled as she told her to dance.
Even though I danced with Alte, I couldn't just dance with Nina.
"All right, let's dance."
Yeah!
When I replied, Nina laughed happily.
The villagers wouldn't have misunderstood if they were as old as Nina and I.
“Now, how do you dance?”
Earlier, I was led by Alte, who was a good dancer, so I managed to dance, but this time I didn't.
However, there are a few steps I learned from watching her dance, so I can use them to do something about it.
"Suitable for music!"
I thought about it, but it was blown away by Nina.
When the Celtic music started to play, Nina took my hand and started jumping.
Exactly the movement is appropriate. There was no solid foundation or sophisticated movement like Arte.
However, Nina's movements were in line with her rhythm.
Even so, it's hard for me to keep up because I'm a novice dancer and my height varies greatly.
Nina laughed happily as if it was even interesting for me to be confused like that.
Yeah, it's impossible to match this irregular motion.
Then I had to move just like Nina.
”Ahahah, this is a strange move!”
Appropriate!
Nina laughed when she saw the famous choreography and pose of my previous life.
Apart from Nina, Alte, Carmilla, and Refiglia also laughed funny.
It's a choreography that anyone in their previous life would imitate, but it seems to be quite eccentric from the perspective of the people in this world.
I wonder?
Please move your upper body as well as your kick!
Like this?
That's right!
It looks funny when I do it, but it's a strange picture when a pretty girl like Nina does it.
"If you can't bear it, I'll mix it with that fun dance!"
"Alte, let's dance together too!" Carmilla-san too! "
"I-I 'm going to do that, too!?"
When the two of them were dancing appropriately, they entered the battle, wondering if the Alte they were watching could not bear it anymore.
Carmilla joined in there to choreograph her previous life in the same way, and everyone danced together to show off their thoughts.
Eventually, a lot of villagers mixed up into a chaotic dance floor, but it was full of smiles.
It doesn't matter if you can't dance. Time to dance with everyone is more important than anything.
Through the Harvest Festival campfire, I feel that Arte and Nina taught me about it.
I thanked both of them for taking me out.
The burning powder of fire flew around and disappeared into the beautiful night sky floating above the stars.
