place, to begin with they gave out less of an impression when compared with Yue and them’s mature impressions.
[Even still, Nagumo-dono’s companions are all beautiful ones]
[That’s damn right. I’d like to take one of them to keep me company for the dance after this]
------HQ, this is Delta. Blast preparation points are all prepared.
------HQ, this is India. Suppression of Point M is complete.
To the half-serious words of the Empire nobles, Hajime exchanges a smile with them as he hears the report from telepathy which reached his ears, the entrance to the hall became increasingly noisy. It appears that it was time for the appearance of princess Ririana and his Highness Bias to take the leading role. A civil officer-like man conveyed the appearance of the two people in a loud voice.
Zawa~......
Ririana’s figure in a dress emerged from the door which was exaggeratedly opened, people in the hall raised out voices mixed with surprise and perplexity.
It was because Ririana wore a jet black dress which seemed to breath in all the lights. Normally, if you consider Ririana’s figure and the outline of the engagement party, a brighter dress would be much more suitable. Towards that fact, [I’m here out of obligation], kind of feeling along with a cleansed face, the jet black dress looked like a wall that Ririana had put on.
Her partner, his Highness Bias as well, with a slightly sour expression as if having crushed a bug, no matter how you looked at it, this was not the scene of a happily married couple, for the time being the hall started being filled with applause, it was a very delicate atmosphere.
As is, those 2 went up to the platform.
the Chairman person allowed the party to progress even though it was puzzling. Looking at Ririana and Bias’s states, even now Gaharudo was about to explode out laughing while greeting them, music began to flow into the hall. It was time for the greetings circle to dance with Ririana and the others. Elegant music resounded in the hall which wiped out the delicate atmosphere.
At the center of the hall, Men who took out their flowers began to dance freely. Although it was completely mechanical, Bias and Ririana also danced. Mainly, Ririana’s expression was due to the atmosphere.
Even if Bias draws closer forcefully, a slight distance was noticed in regards to the melody. As it was, one piece of music finally finished, Ririana quickly advanced onto the next person in the greetings circle.
Bias had an irritated expression, however, he needed to continue on with the greetings circle. In a state that seemed to subtly care about his groin. Actually, after just having woken up a few minutes ago, he did not have time to confronted Ririana what had happened before the start of the party and no one else knew. For some unknown reason his son was blocked out from reviving (the appearance of the person that revives), feeling impatient and irritated of the situation he could do nothing but follow Ririana, as no one else knew.
------HQ, this is Romeo. Suppression of Point P is complete.
------HQ, this is Tango. Suppression of Point R is complete.
[How do I say this, that not like Riri at all. Usually she’d hide her real intentions…..]
Kaori muttered as she saw Ririana exchanging greetings indifferently without a smile.
[.......Ma~a, Those kinds of things are impossible huh. The princess must also have a lot of things to think about]
[.....Many things?]
Yue and them became puzzled at Hajime’s words.
[Nagumo-kun, did something happen to Riri?]
[Oi, Yaegashi. What do you mean by that, come on]
Shizuku was in a wine-red long dress and looked at Hajime suspiciously.
[Because, Riri’s showing that kind of attitude in a public place…..if something insane happened then, it’s roughly Nagumo-kun’s fault right? That’s been the rule for all the times up till now. In fact, you seem like you know something]
[Chi, that’s hard to refute…..but, this time I’ve really done nothing. Just that, as I was passing by I helped out the Princess who was about to be raped by the crowned prince]
[Right, Riri was being ra-.......what was that?]
[Wait a second, Hajime-kun!? Just now what did you!?]
Led by Shizuku and Kaori, everyone turns a surprised look towards Hajime.
Since the dance started a lot of troublesome men have come to ask Yue and them for a dance, although Yue and them had no intentions of dancing with any other man other than Hajime, presently, they’ve all been driven away by Hajime’s “Pressure”, so only Yue and them as well as Shizuku was around.
Kouki was forcibly taken out by the ladies and was dancing desperately as he wasn’t accustomed to it, while Ryutaro was single-mindedly eating. Suzu was dancing with a dandy*lol didn’t notice I spelt that wrong, thanks Schion93* old man in a, [Ho~ee] kind of feeling.
Therefore, the only people who heard about Ririana almost being raped by Bias was Yue and them. Unexpectedly, Kaori and Shizuku demanded with lots of momentum for an explanation from Hajime, attention started to gather around.
[Ah~, yes, that’s why…...Yue, do you want to dance once?]
[N~.....I’d be pleased]
[Ah, wait a second, Nagumo-kun! Don’t run away just because it’s become troublesome! Explain it properly to us!]
[Th, that’s right! It’s an important matter! Properly explain it!]
According to Shizuku’s words, Hajime who thought that an explanation would be too troublesome, took Yue’s hand and planned to escape onto the dance hall. In another sense, the attention was focused on the girl with a pretty face which resembled a work of art much more remarkable than Ririana who was the leading role and on the boy who was her partner (Tuxedo Ver.) with white hair and an eye patch.
Normally, in order to match Yue who was accustomed to royal dances and was leading, Hajime decided to use “Light Speed” while dancing. Since the dance was being observed, he wanted to look good. Joyfully, Yue’s expression was that of someone who was filled with happiness, and Hajime’s eyes were softening towards that, combined with their clothes and looking from the sides, it was completely an engagement party for those two.
Although the musicians somewhere desperately tried to heat up the place as it became awkward, they used Hajime and Yue’s atmosphere to begin playing joyfully. By now, the leading role in the hall is Hajime and Yue, everyone paid attention to the two that were dancing round and round happily.
Towards such people, Ririana watched them with a smile. In there laid some color of envy as well.
On one hand, there was a group of women yearning for Hajime, and more may appear in the future, Ririana temporarily pushed the events that just happened into the corner of her head, [Who’s next!?], it became a battle for the second person.
The performance would be ending soon, Grand applause was presented towards the two people who were kissing with each other lightly as the aristocrats of the Empire were watching with smiles. In their eyes, pure feelings of admiration and praise were seen. The daughters of the noblemen as well, [Ho~u], absentmindedly leaked out hot sighs.
