100 – Boy, Girl and Maid
“…… “You’re late.”
Saying that, Elena took the last bite of her ice cream.
She had no appetite here, so she just watched, but just watching her eat snacks and ice cream from her seat was enough to relieve her boredom.
“…… “Mr. Elena.”
“Yes.”
“You like sweets.”
“Is there any problem?”
“No, not really…” .”
He may be a person with many weaknesses.
I looked away from her as she put her neatly emptied cup of ice cream aside and set down her spoon.
Takase-senpai and Shiraishi still showed no signs of returning.
Her mood was lowered by the sudden appearance of her fiancé.

“…… Then, while it’s raining….”
Elena got up from her seat and walked out into the garden.
Then she stretched out her hand towards me.
“…… “Should we at least practice dancing?”
“Yes?”
“It’s a dance.”
“…… “No, I mean.”
What I meant was why do I suddenly have to do something like that.
Elena held out her hand towards me and spoke calmly.
“Didn’t you promise to escort the girl to the party that will be held soon, boy?”
“…… Ah.”
It was like that.
Not as anything else, but as Shiraishi’s official butler.
Not just for fun, but to be able to act like a perfect butler even in front of other upper class people.
“Dance of the social world. “The ability to dance in harmony with the lady is a natural skill for a butler.”
“……… ….”
Stand up from your seat.
Now that I think about it, Elena said she would ‘indoctrinate’ me within a short period of time.
Is this also part of it?
Her bitter smile came out, but she walked up to her and gently took her hand.
“…… But do I have to dance there too?”
“That’s not important.”
She stood right in front of her and looked down at me.
“The important thing is for the boy to have sufficient knowledge to become the Shiraishi family’s butler.”
“……… ….”
“Until the day the party starts, we will stop by here every day for special training.”
Elena looks at me with serious eyes and whispers to me in a calm tone without the slightest joke.
And at the same time, she moved her body.
“Oh, wait a minute…” .”
“Take your steps. Don’t let go of her hand. Follow my movements. One two.”
In the unaccompanied dance that came out of nowhere, we hurriedly joined forces to follow Elena as she moved her body without allowing any rest or leisure.
Elena’s hand pushes away my joined hand. The moment she and I fell apart
“Turn.”
She said, pulling me again.
At the same time, I spun around and got closer to her.
“Good.”
“……… ….”
Was I a lady?
“Watch my movements carefully and remember them.”
That’s what it was.
Elena leads me, pulling and pushing me. At the same time, move your steps and change your position little by little.
Unlike Shiraishi, who adjusted to my awkward movements, Elena moved her body without allowing her any time to rest.
As a beginner, I barely struggle to keep up with Elena. Even if you accidentally step on her foot or twist your leg, the dancing doesn’t stop.
“…… Left, right. Great. Again.”
“Now, wait a minute…” Elena… !”
However, she did not listen to ‘wait a minute’ or ‘please stop’. It was truly special training.
“……… Like this.”
“Ha…… Ha….”
“I am doing it. “Did you remember?”
After several minutes of forced dancing, she quietly asked, not caring that I sat down because my legs had lost strength.
“Ha…… There’s no way you can do that….”
“Then again. I will continue until you master the movements.”
“hehehe, hehehe….”
Why don’t you and Shiraishi come here?
Even if you look far away, you cannot see them.
Elena approached and reached out her hand and grabbed her arm.
“Come on, boy. “Show grit.”
“Uh, none. Something like that.”
“No. There is.”
With that affirmation, Elena took my hand again and began her dance.
I was sweating as I followed the movements for the first time without accompaniment using only my senses and intuition.
“Of course, dancing is not the only thing you need to learn. “You know that, right?”
“Well, I…” I’m an ordinary high school student….”
“No. “You are something special to her.”
It’s not just me, it’s Haruna and Yuuki too. No, in fact, that would be a more special relationship.
“If you want to remain in that relationship, you have to work harder.”
“……… ….”
“Do you understand?”
Elena asked.
***
The boy nodded his head.
At first, his legs were crossed and he would fall or step on my own foot and make a face, but he gradually got used to it and little by little he began to adapt to my movements.
Even so, I was still clumsy.
I like boys who work hard.
Of course, girls too.
“Yes, that’s right. Forward, backward.”
“……… Phew….”
“Move more gently. “Think of the person in front of you as a lady.”
“Ugh… ….”
Of course, I didn’t expect to do well from the beginning.
The boy sat down on the grass and looked at the sky while rubbing his forehead.
“I never thought I would practice something like this out of nowhere…….”
“Are you happy?”
“……… Yes.”
The boy stood up and stretched out his hand to me.
“Lady. Please join me.”
“……… hehehe….”
He chuckled and raised the corner of his mouth, and the boy scratched his cheek in embarrassment.
His clasped hands were cold.
“……… “It’s me, Elena.”
“Yes.”
The boy asked before holding hands and facing each other and practicing the dance once again.
“Shiraishi’s fiancé was at that party…” Is a man named Ryosuke also coming?”
“……… ….”
I nodded silently.
Then move your body slowly.
The boy, who I had become a little accustomed to, followed my movements in a hurry and said.
“If Shiraishi’s father is also coming there…” .”
“What do you think the purpose of the party is?”
“…… That’s right…….”
When he slowed down, it seemed to get a little easier and the boy moved his body naturally without falling.
“Promoting friendship…… Or….”
“Yes. Building connections and strengthening them at the same time.”
The two families who entered into a marriage between their sons meet and further strengthen their relationship.
“Then Shiraishi…” ….”
“Yes. “You are attending an event that cannot be avoided.”
The boy’s movements stop.
“The reason you asked me to be your escort for such a meeting was… ….”
“I probably wanted to run away.”
Just as I left my home and came here.
“She probably didn’t want to attend this party either.”
“…… Well, then….”
“But since I couldn’t do that, I needed your presence to watch over me and give me courage.”
The boy, who was scratching the back of his neck with a worried look, soon asked.
“I think it’s only now but…… “Are you not respecting Shiraishi’s wishes?”
“Of course the young lady did not want this engagement. That’s why he often clashed with his master.”
“………… “This is the result.”
Running away from home.
However, this villa is also owned by the Shiraishi family.
In the end, the young lady is the precious daughter of a chaebol family who cannot do anything on her own.
No matter how unruly he behaved, in the end he could not break the will of his master.
“……… But I hate it so much.”
The boy sighed as he looked in the direction where the young lady had disappeared.
That’s why I asked.
“Boy. “What do you think is the reason the young lady is away now?”
“Yes?”
The boy tilted his head and looked at me.
“What do you mean… That fiancé named Ryosuke suddenly appears….”
“That’s half the reason.”
“The other half… “What is it?”
It seemed like he didn’t know either.
The young lady thought that she had discovered what she had been hiding from the boy.
Failure to tell you that you have a fiancé.
I was caught by a man who had this deeply in his heart. And in the worst way, that fiance appears right before your eyes.
However, the boy was unaware of the young lady’s love or her illusion.
That’s why she couldn’t understand how she felt as she ran away out of embarrassment, guilt, and shame.
However, he cares for the young lady more than anyone else.
I’m trying to help.
I was unaware of such differences.
The closer the young lady got to that boy, the more she would be hurt.
The emotions that initially brought you excitement and joy will soon turn into pain and give you fever-like pain.
Even after going through her experiences, emotions, and wounds, it was still unknown whether there would be precious people by her side and whether she would be able to stand up again.
It was impossible to guarantee whether everything would work out well or whether it would fall apart.
“…… No way… “Is it because of me?”
The boy asked in disbelief, her eyes widening.
I saw the young lady and Ms. Takase approaching over his shoulder.
The young lady looked hesitant, but it seemed like Ms. Takase was pushing her back from behind.
“Ah… Shiraishi… “You’re here.”
“Yes, yes…” … Sorry for making you wait so long….”
“……… ….”
Stillness flows.
At that moment, there was no need to say who was first, and there was no agreement in advance.
“Ugh, ugh…” !”
I am a boy.
“Kyaaa!”
Miss Takase pushed the young lady.
And they looked at each other right in front, like a man and a woman before dancing.
“Oh, that Elena… ! Why… !”
“Please show me the results of your practice.”
“No, we’ve just started….”
The boy held out his hand, and the girl looked at him blankly.
“Dance practice… “Elena said it was her butler’s skill, so I was busy learning it.”
“Ah… ….”
“I’m still clumsy, but… “Would you like to hang out for a moment?”
“Yes… Of course… !”
The young lady held the boy’s outstretched hand and only then smiled.
Perhaps the boy was disappointed when he found out about the engagement, or was worried that he would distance himself from him.
He held out her hand, unaware of the young lady’s feelings.
From noble mtl dot com
When the young lady sees the boy, she loses her mind and regains her joyful feelings.
The gap between boys and girls. I quietly looked at the illusory relationship.
It was enough for me just to watch them like that.
I wonder what kind of comfort and advice Ms. Takase over there, who was looking at them and smiling just like me, would have given the young lady.
That was something I did not know.
