78 – Unlucky Day (2)
After being hit one by Olberus and one by Sheppy, it seemed like I just stayed there in a daze until the night of the Moon Festival.
Even if today’s fortune is ferocious, Jijiri is ferocious.
For some reason, it seems like it wouldn’t be strange if one more big incident broke out.
When that time comes, I already let out a sigh when I see myself putting everything down and resigning myself to thinking that I knew this was going to happen.
I want to stand out as a real class representative.
Looking down at the neat clothes provided by the academy, I shake my head at the thought that it was wrong to run away now.
As if he knew this person’s true intentions, Pareon approached from afar and politely asked for a greeting, holding out his hand, not fitting the size of a house.
“Bell, there you are. I was looking for a car to cheer on because I’m going as a class representative.”
“It’s okay, just pass by. I’m not in the mood to talk.”
He is a combat fanatic who is usually only interested in improving his skills, but the clothes suit him very well, probably because he is a nobleman.
Unlike me, who came from a commoner, this guy must be used to a place like this.
Maybe they think that I’m going to the Moon Festival as a class representative and that it’s something to celebrate.
I really can’t understand the mental world of nobles.
“From the looks of it, this kind of seat must be difficult.”
“It couldn’t be difficult. This is a commoner from the countryside.”
To be honest, at a place like this, it doesn’t matter too much, since you can just walk around while saying hello.
The only difficult thing for me is that I have to suddenly learn a dance that I have never danced before, and have to demonstrate it in front of others.
He patted me on the shoulder with a wry smile as if he knew the feeling in a harsh tone.
My height is not short, but it was possible because he has a large physique.
“Don’t be too nervous. You just have to do it comfortably. Comfortable.”
“It is easy to say.”
I tried to fire a few more words at the guy who spits out of his mouth as if it was nothing, but I shut my mouth.
Ugh, what’s the use of blaming this guy?
It’s all Professor Seras’ fault.
“Anyway, join the audience and let them enjoy it. Cheer up.”
“Yes.”
I just nodded my head moderately and turned around, wishing it would go away as soon as possible.

Although the Moon Festival has yet to be held, since it is nominally part of the exchange meeting, many students are walking around and greeting each other.
It is truly a scene that seems to have been taken from the social world of nobles.
At the moment, I was contemplating whether I should go among the group or not at the frustrating sight, as if my stomach juices were gushing upside down just by looking at it.
A faint shadow fell over my left field of view and a familiar voice pierced my ears.
“Standing pathetically in fear of someone not being a commoner. Even if it’s Amman’s E class, if you’re the class representative, why don’t you straighten your back a bit?”
From the start, I calmly turned my head to the source of the voice despite the classification of language pouring in like a machine gun.
That guy’s beating isn’t even for a day or two, and at this point it’s awkward to say hello normally.
As expected, she didn’t even look at Marie, who was standing there, but turned her head to Elisha, who was standing next to her.
Mmm, that’s pretty.
It is also one of the few characters that are mentioned as one of the most beautiful women in the official setting.
She shone enough even when she was only wearing a student uniform, but when she was dressed up for the moonlight festival and was equipped with subtle makeup, her beauty seemed to increase even more.
Like Elisha, her innocent image, there is almost no exposure, only her legs and one shoulder are slightly exposed, but that is rather better.
If I had to rate it, I think I could give it 140 points out of 100.
“It’s been a while. Elisha.”
It’s been about four days since I’ve seen Elisha, but I feel like I haven’t seen her for a strangely long time, so her greetings flowed naturally.
She covered her mouth and smiled discreetly, as if she felt the same way, and she accepted my greeting.
“I will. I feel like I haven’t seen her in a very long time. Come to think of it, Belle, I heard the story. You had a lot of trouble yesterday, right?”
“Wait a minute! Why do I just skip it and say hello to Elisha!?”
“Well, it was a bit of a headache. Other people have suffered more.”
“Hey!”
After ignoring the ignorance, Marie finally raised her voice.
Sheesh. I wanted to just ignore it and talk to Elisha, but it turned out to be a pity.
“I saw you this morning. Do you want to be greeted twice a day?”
“Who even asked me to say hello? That means don’t ignore it!”
“That’s very picky.”
As he said, when she turned her gaze to the side, Mari’s figure finally came into her eyes.
If Elisha’s outfit is pure and neat, which fits her image, this one is the exact opposite.
I would say it looks like a little child borrowing clothes from her older sister or mother.
I won’t go so far as to say that it doesn’t suit her, but it’s a bit disturbing that she’s wearing off-the-shoulder clothes as if she’s forced to play her maturity.
If Elisha wore it, I think she would have looked better.
“Ji, where are you looking?”
Did I think too deeply about Mari’s outfit, even frowning at her without realizing it?
The guy looked up at her with doubts in his eyes and stepped back from her while covering his chest.
It was obvious that I was going to say nonsense again, so I opened my mouth first to hit the ball.
“Just. I thought it might be okay to cover his shoulders.”
“It doesn’t matter if I cover my shoulders or not. Joy.”
“Well, that’s true.”
Well, I don’t have the qualifications to tell you to wrap yourself in someone else’s clothes.
I’m just saying this because I don’t know why I chose this one when there must have been many other matching dresses.
Anyway, what is this guy doing?
You can clearly see that he keeps glancing at me, unable to control his body as if he has something to say.
“… But I appreciate your advice, so next time I’ll try something less exposed.”
“Really? What is it?”
“Bye, there is no particular reason! I-I’m just listening to other people’s advice with one ear and don’t want to spill it!”
Who said what? Why are you raising your voice and making a fuss? There are many people around.
But I wanted to say something nonsense again, but for some reason I wondered if the sun would rise in the west tomorrow when I saw this guy willingly accepting my advice.
Or maybe she decided that she didn’t like the dress she was wearing.
Either way, I like that I don’t have to look at that dress that looks like I’m borrowing my mom’s clothes.
In the first place, I don’t know if I’ll ever get a chance to see him in a dress again.
“Anyway, I’m sorry I couldn’t help you this time, Bell. It would have been nice if you had asked me for help too.”
“No. It was something that could be solved somehow on our line, and the senior president also helped.”
Shaking her head at Elisha’s apology, she picked up a cracker on the table decorated with red cloth and ate it.
Of course, if Elisha was there, she would have been of great help to her, but she had been helped a lot by her even before that.
I don’t know what would have happened if Elisha hadn’t joined and taught these guys the training she was doing after school.
In the worst case, there is a possibility that Aden and Marie, who followed Professor Melissa, who was being manipulated, collapsed on the spot without wasting time.
That alone was enough help for Elisha.
If you just shut up and move on, then I’m not a human, but a brute beast that doesn’t know grace.
“Even so. If you ever ask me for anything next time, please let me know without delay. Even if it’s not enough, I’ll give you strength.”
“Yes, thank you.”
I don’t know why this guy is so kind to me, but unless he has bad plans, there’s no reason to reject him.
I made up my mind to ask Elisha if I had to think again next time, so I rinsed my mouth with the non-alcoholic beverage placed next to her.
It had a pungent feeling like champagne, and the scent was quite nice, which was perfect for my taste.
“Come to think of it, when is Belle’s partner coming? The moonlight festival will start soon.”
“That’s right. I tried to look for it, but I can’t find it.”
At Elisha’s question, she shrugged and looked around.
There are a total of four cadets representing each class, two pairs of male and female.
Among them, the female student who decided to match me with her didn’t even show her face in the ballroom yet.
To be honest, I’ve never had a match or talked to him beforehand, so I wanted him to come as late as possible, but I think it’s too late.
There is also anxiety that only in this way will it remain as an unprecedented incident abandoned by a partner and be recorded in the history of the academy.
If that’s the case, I’d rather just close my eyes and go out and dance once before it’s over.
Anyway, looking at it, it seems that these guys are participating as class representatives.
Apart from Marie, Elisha is a cadet who maintains the top rank in A class in both practical and written skills, so the professor should have put her name on it.
Or did she step in and block her?
Anyway, I’m just envious.
Kiki.
“Hmm?”
Lorne, who is not visible until her partner arrives, the moment she tries to move her steps for a moment, thinking that she will be looking for me.
The huge door into the ballroom began to open slowly with a heavy sound.
The gazes of those around me gathered together and my head headed there one after another.
“Someone…. Does it look like it’s coming?
“Is this the first time you see a face? Who are you?”
The two of them tilted their heads as they carefully looked at the woman with sky blue hair who appeared as the huge door opened.
Even though the Moon Festival is part of the exchange meeting, it is an event held only by first-year students, so the girl who appeared there should be considered a first-year student.
However, he was a person that neither Marie nor Elisha could remember.
At least, if there’s one thing that looks familiar, it’s that light blue hair that reminds me of a certain guy’s top shelf.
“Who are you? You know what?”
“I don’t know. Was there a beauty like that in first grade?”
“Which family are you from?”
The surroundings became noisy in an instant, but the other person walked this way, stepping on the red carpet with confident steps.
My body flinched when I realized that I was the place where that gaze was heading.
As our eyes met, I inadvertently said one person’s name through a spinal cord reflex.
“… Aden?”
I wonder if the woman approaching from the other side heard that small voice.
A faint arc formed at the corner of her mouth, and she arrived right in front of me.
“You recognize me even though I look like this, Bell.”
The woman with light blue hair smiled while reciting my name in a voice full of joy.
Then, without asking my permission, he took one of my hands and greeted me politely, with the gesture of a man escorting a woman.
“Tonight I am your partner. It may be confusing, but I’ll take care of you.”
… Also, my prediction was correct.
It seemed like it would explode properly even if there was another accident.
I don’t know why sad premonitions are never wrong.
