137 – Dance with me
Dance with me
Prom.
Along with Seria’s Day, the day most loved by the people of the Empire.
Just as the common word girl is added, a prom is called a prom without any embellishment.
It is also a place where you can see many fresh couples as it is an event open to the public by a lover who confirms his love by receiving sweetness and returning a gift in return.
And it was also the last lifeline for the poor people who couldn’t win love.
Even if I didn’t receive the sweetness on Seria’s Day, even if I gave sweetness and didn’t receive a gift in return, even if I was rejected for being invited to a partner, even if I didn’t receive the invitation, I still had one last chance.
There are a lot of people who have already gone through one ordeal, and statistically speaking, the percentage of injured people meeting eyes at the prom and becoming a couple is higher than the rate of becoming partners before the prom.
Of course, there were few couples that lasted for a long time because they were dating because they were immersed in momentary feelings and the mood of the prom, but I just want them to be happy even at this moment.
Seiban doesn’t have flashy decorations, but wears a formal dress with a neat and understated design and goes into the hall.
He was so handsome that he could have worn just about anything, but the clothes he was wearing fit well, as if they were made exclusively for him.
When Seiban makes eye contact with female academy students who do not have a partner, he bows his head lightly to greet them.
At the eye smile of the handsome Seiban, the women blush and whisper to each other while the men stare at him with ax eyes.
Academy students without partners came early and filled the seats, but in the middle of the crowd, Seiban strangely headed for a place where people weren’t gathering.
A space is created in a strange semicircle centered on one person.
“Hey, didn’t you run away this time?”
“I never ran away.”
Aslan glares at him with fierce eyes, but Seiban smiles and approaches him.
“Last year, my father called me to go.”
“Yes, yes, of course.”
Athran speaks as if making an excuse, but Seiban slyly ignores it and looks around.
Seiban, who has wide feet, knows the faces of most people in the hall.
“Where’s Delan?”
“I didn’t see it. They said they couldn’t come out of the house today.”
“Why… Ah…”
Recalling Delren’s words about being eaten by a maid on his first experience, Seiban shuts his mouth.
He said that the same maids followed him even after he came to the academy, so as a man it was easy to imagine what was going on in his mansion.
Asran doesn’t answer whether he’s thinking the same thing, but nods his head quietly.
In a somewhat embarrassed mood, Seiban looks around again and sees Cuthbert and Bolin sitting helplessly on the sofa he has prepared for them to rest.
The darkness fell only there in the bright ballroom.
“Why are they like that?”
Seiban asked, pointing at the two with their backs and heads down.
I thought they would be the most active at the prom, but they looked miserable.
“If you get kicked 16 times in a row, you’ll be like that.”
“…… Started less than half an hour and already kicked 16?”
“I stood at the entrance and held out my hand whenever a woman without a partner came in. I thought I was the one checking invitations. He reached out without looking at me.”
“That’s great on its own.”
Dating is simple in Seiban’s opinion.
When he said that he would not respect conditions, he confessed to 100 people, and even if 99 people refused, he could do it as long as only 1 person agreed.
That meant that no matter how bad they were, if they kept trying with indomitable will, they would succeed, and Cuthbert and Bolin actually took on the challenge.
Although that method wasn’t good.
Delivering condolences to Cuthbert and Bolin, who showed courage even if they were laying on a steel plate, Seiban looks around at the others.
“But what did you do with Jona-senpai and came here alone?”
“Women take a long time to prepare. When the senior comes, I have to go out again. Before that, I’ll stamp my face on the others.”
I can’t come close because I’m afraid of Aslan, but Seiban greets her neck with a soft smile to the female academy student who is watching her from afar.
“You haven’t been hurt by Jona-senpai yet.”
“If you don’t catch it, it won’t happen. I haven’t caught it yet.”
Her face is cute, but her obsession is quite severe. Asran recalled her, Jonah, thinking that if her friend found her dead body in the back alley, she would definitely do Jonah’s work, and drank her wine. Take a sip
“Peter, who still doubts her virginity, and Pia, who emphasizes her virginity, came together as partners. It seems they haven’t caught it yet. Oh-Our Zero is surprisingly popular.”
“Even though that guy’s face looks innocent, he’s pretty good at attracting women.”

As she sees Zeroa dancing with Mia, Seiban laughs and Aslan adds.
At his words, Seiban tilted her head.
It is true that he is a sincere and kind person, but Asran tells the truth for Seiban, who is not sure whether his charm as a man is so outstanding.
“It’s not just Mia, there’s also an adventurer girl named Cindy when you go to the city. She makes the excuse that she’s just teaching magic, but you can see it from her side.”
“Oh-ho- it’s great to be a playboy with an innocent face. Come to think of it, Meili was also interested.”
“Meiri?”
Asran is surprised when the name of Ban Mei Li, who has a pretty face but is hard to get close to because she is cold-hearted, is mentioned.
“Yeah, it seems like they got closer while fighting on horseback last time… Did they fall for you because they kept being kind even though they reacted coldly?”
While Seiban is talking nonchalantly, Aslan’s expression changes into a complex expression.
“But why is there no one around me… What are you doing?”
Aslan raises his finger and glares at Seiban who covers his eyes.
“No, you’re handsome too if you cover your eyes. I’ll sprinkle you some hot sauce, so why don’t you go around with your eyes closed? You might become popular.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
When he reacted nervously by shaking off his hand, Seiban smiled and turned his gaze to the table where the food was placed.
“My instructor doesn’t seem interested in women.”
Rye came into the hall and from the beginning until now, he has not shied away from food.
Philia approaches Rai, who is confused as to whether she came to enjoy the ball or the food.
Her off-the-shoulder red prom dress accentuated her fair skin and her hair, which showed off her neckline, made her a beautiful princess.
Although she is popular, everyone in the hall stares at her appearance because she has not dressed up.
Cuthbert and Bolin were also staring blankly at Philia with her mouth open, and she gave a small smile to Rai, who was looking right at her.
“Won’t you compliment me?”
“Hmm… It must be a bit frustrating.”
Her philia’s eyebrows narrow as he speaks, lowering her gaze.
Philia’s breasts were emphasized through the party dress that exposed her shoulders and below her collarbone.
In response to her perverted answer, the women around her made expressions similar to Philia, while the men maintained her expressionless expression and nodded her head slightly.
“She’s pretty. I like people with big breasts.”
“I think I would have felt better if it hadn’t been for the back talk.”
“Is the first thing you said okay?”
“Take that off too.”
Rai smiles and turns her attention back to the food.
She was a philia, standing next to him and putting food on her private plate, but she pursed her glistening lips as if she was hoping for something.
She wants to invite her to dance, but Lai has already nailed it once.
Still, rumors have spread strangely, but you don’t know what sound will come out if you dance together.
Rai isn’t the type to care about that, and she doesn’t want to care about Philia either, but she knows why he takes care of herself, so it’s hard to get her words out.
She was taking care of herself so that she would not be harmed by useless rumors.
Philia, who continued her small talk like that, moved her seat and headed for the wall in her corner.
She was so beautiful that anyone would envy her, but seeing Philia alone leaning against the wall made her feel sorry for her.
“Philly Philly Philly, why is she a wallflower when she’s dressed pretty.”
Sesset, dressed in a pink dress the same color as her hair, approaches her and leans against her wall.
Similar to Philia, it was a party dress with her shoulders exposed, but she was more cute than s*xy.
“I decorated it with all my heart, but it shouldn’t be like that.”
“Sorry…”
Philia, who came from her family and had no money, was able to dress up like this with the help of Seset.
For Philia, who is not interested in decorating her, he made her the main character of the party by mobilizing all the maids of her mansion, including Ceset and Rin.
In a way, she decorated it with much more effort than herself, but when Philia is discouraged, Ceset glares at Rai’s back.
“Hmm… No matter how I look at it, Philly is a waste. That person is not a good husband.”
“… I don’t like it.”
Even though he looked away with his cheeks red, he was not persuasive.
She was so cute then she was three three but now she has to cheer her up.
“You arrogantly reject our Philly? I can’t forgive you. Oh, I don’t take dance requests.”
“No, not you…”
“Yes, if you want to dance with Philly, tell me through me. I’m not taking it, go.”
“No, why did you…”
“This is the manager. You must be McKellen-senpai. I will tell Philly her name, so please wait.”
A male academy student named McKellen looks at Philia and Sesset next to her, then leaves with a confused expression.
After getting rid of one of her flies, Cesset leans against her wall again and looks up at Philia.
“Do you want to dance with Raicang?”
“……Yes, I want to dance.”
She seemed to hesitate for a moment, but Philia soon spoke confidently.
She seemed to have made up her mind then, she looked at Rai and walked in front of her.
“No no no no. Wait wait wait wait.”
However, Philia, who was captured by Sesset, had to be dragged back and returned to the wall.
Seeing her staring at her with her expression of not knowing what she was thinking, Sesset waved her hand to tell her to calm down and smiled.
“Are you unable to dance because of the rumors? Lycan refused.”
She came in, but she didn’t even talk to Lai. It was Philia who wondered how Sessett knew that, but she nodded her head in affirmation.
“Then leave it to the three-set Eliza. The s*xy cutie sweetie pure wizard will show you some amazing magic. Love is magic!”
As soon as Sesset finishes her words, she walks over to Rai and shouts.
“Raikang! Three to three batters go!”
“…What do you mean?”
“I eat at home and now I dance. What are you doing at the ball?”
Her voice is so loud that everyone in the hall can hear it.
Rai’s arms are wrapped around her and Se-set, who dragged her out by force, raises her hand and shouts.
“Music Cue! With an exciting song please!”
The musicians who were already playing are flustered by the three-set’s request, then make eye contact and change to a faster music.
“Okay, good. I wish it was a little faster, but I’ll have to settle for this.”
Seset shakes his hand near his eye and then shakes his shoulder.
“What kind of dance is that?”
“True dance is not bound by formality. As long as there is a rhythm and passion, that is dance.”
The movements of the 3-3, which are both rhythmic and dance-like, seem more like a dance performed by the villagers at a village festival, rather than a dance between lovers.
It wasn’t a dance that fit each other’s body or manners, but it was full of energy to match the cheerful music.
Every time the three sets spin, her dress pops up, revealing her white calves, but she’s so lively that it’s more cute than s*xy.
“What are you doing, not dancing. Are you in shape? Surely, a shy boy who is embarrassed to dance in front of people?”
“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but don’t be intimidated by it.”
As she already has people’s attention, she can’t leave her dance partner, Se-set, and her rai dances to suit her.
Raido is a dance that was performed only at village festivals, which are equally informal.
However, the dance line was alive and it was quite nice to see, and people watched the dance with a happy expression.
When her music ends and Sesset shakes her body wildly and wipes the sweat from her forehead, Rai shrugs her shoulders and tries to get out.
“This is Diana Deshbella, batting number 2!”
“What are you again?”
Diana, who was watching among her people, raises her hand and crosses Rai’s arms as he is about to leave.
Dressed in a cobalt-colored dress that matches her indigo blue hair, Diana dances with Rai with a bright smile.
It was a dance in which the bodies of lovers were closely attached, but perhaps because of Diana’s happy smile, it didn’t look like that at all.
“Wow – apart from Diana, Raikang is also very good at dancing.”
Moreover, both of them are so good that people watch them while praising them.
“May I run as the No. 3 Batter?”
Even though he was shy, no one could reject Emilia’s words.
When Emilia and Rai, who danced with her, were about to enter, Philia stood in front of her.
Philia, who had been pushed back by Sesset, looked directly at Rai with her strong eyes.
“Dance.”
“Are you challenging me to a duel? Why are you so serious?”
Rai laughs and reaches out to hold her hand first.
Rai, who greeted her lightly by bending her knees, pulls Philia into her arms and starts dancing to her music.
“Go with the flow, I’ll do the rest.”
She learns to dance simply for etiquette, but Philia, who doesn’t dance well because she’s not interested, nods her head and places herself in his hand supporting her waist.
“…… Envy.”
Boleyn, still sitting on the sofa, said in a dying voice, while Cuthbert bit his lip.
“Damn it to monopolize the 2nd, 3rd and 4th places…”
“Don’t cry. They’re not going to dance with us anyway.”
“I don’t cry.”
Bolin glanced at Cuthbert, her teary eyes, and shut her mouth.
Zeroa, who was watching Rai and Philia dance among the crowd, felt something about her and turned her head to her window.
‘Light…?’
Thinking that something was shining brightly, Zeroa tilts her head and goes out onto her balcony to check her outside.
