When you are guided into the castle by the emperor's brave men and women, the great hall you saw before has been transformed into a ballroom.
　Men and women dressed in various party dresses come and go, and lavish dishes are prepared on tables arranged in various places.
　Among them, you can see the dishes I presented at the big cooking competition in the past.

You two will be the guests of honor this time. If it's all right with you, we'd like you to enjoy it.

　It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends and family.
　By the way, Mina is sitting with a nervous look on her face and her back straightened.

You can also have a look at the following information Why was Mina invited to Rostam's party again?

"Oh, yeah, um, that's it!　Rostam invited me to join him for an invitation to apologize for the last time: ......!

　An apology for the last time, the word "apology" immediately jumped out at me.
　Since then, Mina has regained her memory, she remembered what she did and apologized many times for what she did.
　I told her that she didn't need to apologize so much because she was the victim, but she still seemed to be feeling sorry for the matter.
　This is probably the reason why we haven't been able to have a good conversation lately, so this might be a good opportunity for us to have a conversation.

　With that in mind, as soon as I got up from my seat, a pleasant melody came from the hall.
　I thought it was just right, so I held out my hand to Mina.

"Mina, would you like to dance with me?

"To ......?　Heh!　Eh, eh?

　You're surprised by the sudden invitation, and you start panicking, your face turning bright red.
　But eventually, with steam coming out of his head, he takes my hand and whispers in a whisper.

I'm ......, thank you very much ...... please, I'm ......

Thank you. I've never danced before, so I'm sure I'm not very good at it, but it's nice to meet you.

"Oh, no!　I've never even danced before, so it's okay!

　For some reason, they said something to each other that they had never danced before, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.
　Then, taking Mina's hand, I head toward the hall, and although I move with a dance-like atmosphere, I still feel awkward because I do not know how to dance.
　Next to me, Rostam takes his place behind me with light steps.

"There's no need to rush, Mr. Kyou. There's no hurry, Keogh. At first you simply hold his hands and hips and try to move back and forth from side to side. After a while, you can just dance to the tune. In fact, most of the people here also dance to that sort of thing.

　I'm going to follow the advice of his ...... girlfriend now, and I'm going to dance in the hall, holding Mina's hand, with my arms around her waist and arms around her, like I'm holding her.

　It's a good idea to dance to the song.
　Maybe it's more accurate to say that you can move freely to the music rather than dancing.
　Fortunately, thanks to Rostam's instructions, the song that is playing is also very slow and easy to dance to.

　I have never imagined dancing at a party like this before, but it's fun to try it.
　I'd like to try it again.

　As for Mina, when I put my arms around her waist and held her close to me, her face turned red and her eyes were rolling around and around.
　I'm not sure if it's okay.
　I'm sure he looks very happy, so I'm sure he'll be fine.

　Then you realize that the song is over, and as soon as our dance is over, people around you are clapping along with it.
　It seems that you have become the center of the dance, and once again, you are filled with embarrassment as you realize that you have become the center of the dance.

It was a great dance, both of you. Now, I would like you two to dance to a romantic song theme: ...... gehen!

　Just as Rostam was about to say something, a woman appeared behind her and kicked him with all her might, stepping on his fallen back with all her might.

I'm not going to be able to get my hands on it.　You don't know how to have fun at a party, dancing with just one person. In this case, next time you dance with another woman. So next time you will dance with me!

　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.
　It's not the usual stuffy war attire, but a blue dress that looks like a beautiful woman, and her appearance is exactly reminiscent of Valkyria, a dancing angel of war.

　I had forgotten about her because of her usual behavior, but I realized that she is also quite beautiful.
　The overall proportions of her are probably one of the top three that I know of.
　By the way, the other two are Kasarina and a female version of Rostam.
　As I was making my own assessment of the situation in my mind, I saw a small shadow creeping around behind Amarnes.

"Hey, hey, Amanes, this is not what you said: ....... It's not you, it's me. ......

Yeah, that's right. Huh, sorry Lily. But it's been a while since I changed into one of these dresses. I was just excited.

　The person who was hiding in the background was pulled forward as if to say that Amanes said so again.

It's a good idea to have a good time. It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

　When I saw the lily that Amanes had pulled out, I was stunned because I didn't recognize her for a moment.
　For a moment, I didn't recognize her as Lily.

　Her beautiful golden hair was usually pulled back in a side-tail on one side of her head, but now she had it all down, and her long golden hair was flowing down to her waist.
　The crimson dress that had been arranged to match her golden hair was not flashy, but seemed to wrap around the petite Lily, giving her the impression of a beautiful rose.
　It's not just a matter of how many hours a day, it's also a matter of how many hours a day you can spend in the morning.

It's a good thing that ...... is this, how do you feel about ......?

　There was a gap between the usual adventurousness of Lily, but the more modest attitude made me squirm.

"Huh?　Oh, oh, ...... I think you look great!

"Yeah, so ......?　Oh ...... thank you ......

　I'm not sure why my heart was pounding again when Lily thanked me in a whisper, removing her gaze with a stained cheek and saying thank you.


　Oh, that's funny.
　Have I ever been so aware of Lily?
　It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them. ...!

"!　Yeah, that's right, go to ......, hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe.... You just danced with Kyou, didn't you?　You must be tired, and you don't have to dance that much in a row.　You see, Amanes also said that it's common knowledge to take turns at the dance: ......

"Heh, heh!　You're right!　Keh, but sorry, I'm new to that kind of thing: ...... and I'm not tired at all, so it's fine!　If you want, I can dance five more times in a row!

No, no, no, no, that's not possible. Above all, we need to give Kyou a break. ......

　Well, uh, what is it?
　This awkward atmosphere.
　It's like these two people, who are normally supposed to be close friends, are trying to trap me in the middle of a fire.
　I'm sure it's not just my imagination .......

It's not because of that. So, Kyou-san, please take a quick break on that balcony ......

Wait a minute. Then I'll show you around, and you can relax in this hall. You have to see all the rare dishes and patterns, you don't want to miss it.

You're the one who said that. I'm not interested in that kind of thing.

　......, I really can't stand this atmosphere, someone do something about it.
　And while I was thinking that, a third party really interceded.
　But with even more troublesome sparks.

"Woah, woah, woah, woah, that's enough!　To the princess of the abominable beast, a blossom in the mundane everyday!　Even if the goddess allows you to seduce my demon brother, I will not allow you to do so!

　And then my sister Helle appeared, dressed in a jet black dress.
　She usually wears a black-based gothic loli dress, and this one looked good on her.
　However, that eye patch is still a bit of a problem.

"Hey, you. Kyou's sister?　Is there such a thing?

　I'm sure you're not the only one who's interested in it.

I have the right to dance with my brother. You may watch our dance in the sunny corner of the world, biting your lip.

I don't know if you're brother or sister to Kyou, but if you're brother and sister, shouldn't you give this place up?　You're probably with them on a regular basis, and a third party outside of the family should be leading Kyou here.

"What are you talking about?　I and my brother are not always together!　I'd rather we hadn't seen each other before, even if we wanted to!　Anyway, I'm the one who dances with my brother!　It's definitely me!

"Wow, I still want to escort you to things with Kyou-san!

　The next thing you know, the three girls are arguing around the circle.
　I had a feeling that staying here would lead to more trouble, so I decided to move away from them little by little and escape to the balcony.
　I thought I could see Rostam being trampled by the feet of the three of them, but I said Namu in my mind for now.
