pair, pair, pair.
The beat is cheerful.
unfamiliar song.
Everyone’s laughter and the sound of stepping on the sandy beach strangely spread.
In between, I felt like a clown dancing in mismatched clothes.
The limbs creak and the limbs play separately.
“Look at that guy.”
“It’s funny.”
“What kind of unoiled automaton is that?”
People laughed when they saw me like that.
it would be funny
It’s funny even when I think about it.
Nike, who is holding hands with me, laughs wildly as if it was funny.
“Victor, you really can’t dance!”
“I have never danced.”
“It is important to move smoothly! Like this, like this. Move your feet to the beat.”
Shuwook, Shuwook.
Nike’s movement was like that of a graceful ballerina.
“Nike, you dance very well.”
“When I was young. I learned a lot from my father. I stepped on my father’s feet and danced every evening.”
Father, not father?
I was curious about Nike’s sudden honorific title, which I usually refer to as my father.
But the reason I didn’t ask him was because Nike’s expression as he danced was so serious that he hadn’t seen it before.
“Victor, this is how we match our feet. one two, pair. One, two, pair.”
“Can I do this?”
“Look, it’s a little better than before!”
“It’s because I like teachers.”
Be careful not to step on Nike’s feet by mistake.
And set the beat and set the direction at the same time.
It was difficult.
to play.
Healing also takes more power than it looks.
But it’s more fun than you think.
How can it be so much fun even though it doesn’t cost money and only takes up time?
All of a sudden, the hustle and bustle of the surroundings and the sound of music didn’t come through as if they didn’t exist.
The focus is only on Nike’s voice.
Does Nike do the same?
Is this the trance of people dancing?
Then Nike said.
“Victor. Actually, there’s something I didn’t tell Viktor.”
I was vaguely feeling it.
Nike is a girl with many secrets.
I’m curious.
But my answer is this.
“If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to.”
There are many things I didn’t tell Nike either.
There are many things I keep secret from everyone.
Nike said if he liked my answer.
“I kept it a secret from everyone. But, one day when I tell this story to someone. First of all, I want to talk to Viktor. When that time comes, will you listen to my story?”
“However much.”
“No, I want to talk right now. Actually, I met you, Victor, when I was very young. Victor, you may not remember.”
“yes?”
“Let’s say we met, but we didn’t even talk to each other!”
Could Victor and Nike have a connection in childhood?
Nike continued.
“So at first, Viktor, when you met me in the woods. I was surprised to see if it reminded me of the past. But, I don’t seem to remember.”
“I honestly don’t know.”
“It’s fine. everyone so I was very young, so no one remembers me. the world me… you forgot us I want to get revenge on this. Become famous, become very famous.”
That’s a strange revenge.
“cheer up.”
“Yes!”
When Nike spoke brightly.
The tempo of the song has changed.
At the same time, the people who were dancing in a circle start switching pairs.
Nike asked curiously.
“This, this circle dance isn’t originally a pair-changing dance, is it? what?”
“I do not know.”
“Then Viktor, see you later!”
Nike moved towards the person next to me and I faced the woman who was dancing next to me.
The guy is Enio with black hair.
“Hello, Viktor.”
“Enio, isn’t it your fault?”
“what? More than that, to think of Viktor-kun dancing. You’ve never been on stage at a social church in the mainland. What kind of change of heart did you have?”
“Well.”
“Then, ask for one song. Do I have to be gentle because it hurts if I hold on tight?”
“I will try.”
Grab Enio’s arm and spin around.
Enio’s dance is a little more leisurely and leisurely than Nike’s.
“Dancing like this reminds me of the old days. When I was on the mainland, everything was shiny and bright. under the chandelier… .”
“I guess so.”
“Don’t you miss being on the mainland, Viktor-kun? Although it was under the Arkwright family. Still, as Daryl’s son-in-law, he must have grown up without any shortcomings.”
I miss you and sleep and I don’t remember anything like that.
All I remember is the continuation of labor.
To be honest, compared to then, it’s a lot of fun now.
“I don’t miss it at all. Now is good.”
“Are you holding hands with me?”
“Let’s do that.”
“Victor-kun, you really don’t have any tips. Can’t you say a word softly at that time? Then I might fall for Viktor-kun in many ways.”
Could Mara, who seduced Buddha, be like this?
If someone I didn’t know heard of it, I’d be really shocked.
“Enio, you are not someone who comes over easily. I know better than anyone.”
It’s really hard to raise Enio’s favorability beyond a certain level.

Quests dedicated to likability are annoying enough to go round and round.
Only a few CGs were obtained through such hard work.
This was also the reason why the enio route was not recommended for beginners.
… So, there were a lot of people with special tastes who said it was good.
At that time, Enio puffed out his cheeks slightly.
“Victor-kun and others too. Because everyone thinks I’m too difficult. I’m just an ordinary person.”
No, I don’t think it’s difficult, it’s really difficult.
“More than that, Viktor-kun, you smell blood. Now I see that there is blood on the school uniform.”
“It’s not my blood.”
It bounced when you cut the torneo.
The tempo of the music changed again just when I thought I wouldn’t know how to get over it if Enio, who had a good sense of humor, asked about this.
Sounds like it’s time to swap partners.
“Then, Viktor-kun, hello.”
Enio waving his hand and getting away from him.
What came before me… .
“You are Victoria.”
“… what is the response Do you want to dance with me too?”
“Then why did you change the rules to dance in pairs?”
“My, what am I? You are the one who rejected me and danced with Miss Mokey Mokey.”
“To put pressure on popular bands and school events. Everyone knows that there is only a student council.”
“… … .”
Victoria didn’t say anything.
Instead, he puts out his hand towards me.
It was like a prickly princess.
If a cat with a pedigree could walk on two legs, would it be exactly the same as today’s Victoria?
I grabbed his hand and moved to the sound of one, two, claps.
said Victoria.
“Dancing with you. It’s my first time.”
“Is it so?”
Viktor This guy is between a fiancé, but he hasn’t even danced yet, so what did he do?
I just got it.
Viktor This guy is also far from playing.
Same with me.
“Are you doing better than you think?”
“I learned from Nike.”
“Moke-moke. Did you see that you were quite skilled? Where did Miss Moke Moke, who grew up in the forest, learn to dance like this at social gatherings… .”
“Well. maybe you Did you ever meet Nike when you were young?”
“… no? I’ve never been to the west.”
“is it.”
I was about to think for a moment when Victorica pinched my side.
“Rather than that, your partner right now is me. you should focus on me You’ve been stepping on my feet ever since.”
“sorry.”
I can’t do both at the same time.
“I will focus on you.”
“… … .”
Instead of talking, Victoria turned from left to right and from right to left.
Perhaps because the movements were more active than expected, Victoria’s face turned red and sweat began to seep out from her forehead.
“Victoria, your palms are damp. You sweat more than I thought.”
“… What did you say! And don’t look at it so piercingly!”
“You told me to focus?”
Like this and that, he is a very strange guy.

Upon returning to the inn, Daly was talking to Dearmid.
“Dearmid, did you dance with Miss Kanan? Who else did you switch partners with? Girls like articles about you, so I want to hear them.”
“Well. I don’t remember because there were so many people talking to me.”
Luke, who was packing his things in the corner, asks.
“Does it matter who you dance with? Are there people who see that as an article?”
Daley tut-tsk-tucked his tongue at that innocent question.
“Luke, you don’t seem to know because you’re a transfer student. There is a Ludens legend that says that a man and a woman who pair up in the forest school’s closing waltz are more likely to become a pair after graduation.”
Was there such a story?
I also found out first.
However, I did not believe these floating stories.
I couldn’t believe it was going well.
But our main character, Luke, will be different.
“That’s an interesting story. My childhood friend, Yumi, would have loved it. Of course, Yumi didn’t participate in the forest school, though.”
Instead of enjoying the after-party, Luke said that he picked up a lot of conch shells from this mini Ludens Island at the request of his childhood friend.
“Look at this. Did you pick up a lot? It doesn’t even fit in the bag. I wonder if this will convince Yumi as well.”
Picking up conch shells while everyone else is playing.
he’s a weird guy
And what is Yumi who asked me to pick up that conch shell?
Did Luke ask that on purpose to keep him from dancing with the other girls at the after party?
I’m interested.
Then Melvin shouted.
“Then, tonight is a party with the boys! Since we brought ‘Marmarble’, everyone take a seat! It’s the last night, so everyone stays up all night playing!”
It’s Marble.
Is it like a mini game that exists in Ludens?
Little kids are the age to like that kind of thing.
Of course, I’m an adult, so it’s different.
“Another 6 came out. By purchasing the land I arrive at this time, I, Victor, have a monopoly on this yellow platform.”
“hahahaha! Bull Hunter Viktor, you’re good at throwing dice! Maybe you are loved by the dice god? ok?”
“I am not Viktor the Bull Hunter. Rather, what is the dice god?”
Is there such a god?
As far as I know, the attributes of the seven gods are clear.
War. love. adventure. produce. death. law. Ouch.
This Ludens must have been created by the gods of these seven attributes.
Dearmid interrupted my doubts and explained.
“There is a god of dice. Of course, if you say something like this, you will hear the sound of heresy. It’s a pretty famous story in my hometown west of the mainland.”
“what? Was there such a story? This body daily rumor. I’ve been working as a reporter in the newspaper department for 2 years, but I’m hearing about it for the first time? A dice god?”
It is intuitively felt in the conversations that come and go.
maybe this conversation.
Is it like a sub-quest?
It seems like a good chance to achieve 88% of my achievements.
I’ll have to investigate once I get back to Ludens main island.
good.
The midterm exam will do well.
I passed the 2nd act safely.
It’s just that things work out so quickly.
So, is it the beginning of Act 3?
From the 3rd act, it’s the section I’m particularly confident in, isn’t it?
100 million out of 200 million.
The 100 million won is to be paid back in the third act before the final exams.
