Chapter 9 Nevertheless He Responds to the Expectations of Others.7
[Oh, Xiao Xue Nai is really more and more like your sister, the dress suits you very well] A slightly fat middle-aged man, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, laughed and stood in front of me and Xuexia. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
[Thank you very much for your appreciation, Uncle Murakami, you are still as energetic as ever.] Under the snow, he bowed slightly, and kept smiling and saluted the other party in return. I frowned again, this is the first time that people have been talking to under the snow since the party began. Although we choose to stand in a place where there are relatively few people
When this so-called uncle laughed and went to talk to the others, I sighed slightly with the snow.
[I'm sorry, you're uncomfortable, aren't you?] said apologetically under the snow.
I shook my head [I'm okay, it's you, is it okay?]
Learn to smile slightly [Hawkers,Although I'm still not used to it.,But I've been attending this kind of party occasionally since before.,So it doesn't matter....] After saying that, he lowered his head slightly under the snow, as if he was thinking about something.
[What's wrong with Yukino?] I'm a little worried, the spirit under the snow doesn't seem to be very good.
Under the snow raised his head, revealing a.... Helpless and self-deprecating smiles?
[Na, Hachiman, I'm here.... Isn't it a mistake?]
Looking at the expression under the snow, my heart suddenly lifted, don't be like this, okay?
[....... No, you're the master of this place too, aren't you?
[Hehe, master?The master should be a sister, right, in their hearts] under the snow to look at the people who are standing not far away and chatting happily while enjoying the music played by the band [My words,It's probably a matching village.,I'm sorry.... It's that I'm thinking too simply...]
I also followed the eyes under the snow, and the guests were chatting in groups, laughing from time to time, everyone with a faint smile on their faces, and some of them symbolically carrying a glass of red wine in their hands, shaking it gently. Not to mention Miss Yono, who is the host of the party, is always surrounded by crowds, and she is smiling and talking softly to everyone, today she is wearing a purple dress, which is different from the style under the snow, which looks extraordinarily noble and elegant, with her usual "social mask", she is simply an impeccable perfect queen, and every guest present will probably be attracted to her.
[No, I didn't do anything wrong, no need to apologize] I withdrew my gaze [Sometimes, what I see on the surface is not necessarily good, and it is not necessarily true]
I probably didn't come first under the snow I would say this kind of thing, his expression was slightly stunned, and he shook his head and said [Although what you said may be true, but... What can you do if you know it's fake? That's the reality.
Ah, I see. I had a vague premonition from the time I told me that I was going to a dance party under the snow today, and I don't usually participate in this kind of event under the snow, but why did you suddenly bring me here today? If you brought me here to prove your courage, then.... This is also a mistake, because all the people who talk to me don't look at me directly, and it's really my fault. Also, under the snow, I hope that I can catch up with my sister and become a person as good as her. But as the goal of his pursuit has changed, he has confirmed that he has made progress under the snow, in order to prove his progress, he needs to prove people, this party is the best place to prove himself under the snow, what my sister can do, I can do it, or even better, and the method used is better than my sister. But, well, how do you say that? These people have imprinted in their minds the idea that your sister is better and more valuable. There's no evidence, standing here and doing nothing, how can you prove it? Shout: I can do it! Is it possible?
So, at this time, what can I do for her....
I looked at the crowd in the distance [didn't you notice?] those smiling faces. ]
[What?] tilted his head under the snow and couldn't understand what I meant.
It's time to use my abilities [The smiles on everyone's faces are hypocritical and hollow, just to fit the atmosphere]
[Ah, you say this] laughing self-deprecatingly under the snow [This is the so-called interpersonal relationship, in this kind of occasion, just to deal with it, everyone is, in this so-called high society, what kind of real existence will there be? This party is only held because of interests]
[Still, do you want their approval?] I looked seriously at the snow [even if it was a fake thing]
[How to say it...] Under the snow, he said with some emotion [I don't like fake things.... I just want to make a break with the past... After all, it was once pursued]
Looking at the expression under the snow, I probably already knew what she was thinking, did I decide.... Then, it was not their approval that was sought under the snow, but hers!
The dance party was about to begin, and the waiters had already begun to clean up the tableware and set up the venue, and I slowly walked to the men's table, and the snow also walked to the women's table with doubts.
I found a random spot to sit down. Everyone has something to desire, and since it is something to desire, it must not be false, even if he is a tyrannical king, he will pursue what is called "true". In the upper class, the collection of interests, apart from interests, what is the "truth" they pursue? The answer is: sincerity. But how many people can be found, and how can they prove that they have found it? These people may live a seemingly good life in normal times, but how many friends can they make friends with? Even if there were, with the change of time and the expectations of others, the former friends have become partners who rely on interests, even if it is Miss Yono. The people in these so-called big families sometimes can't even trust their own relatives, is this such a sadness?
Everyone did not dare to give their sincerity to others, just like a group of hypocritical knights who chose to support the heir who was already sure to get the throne for the sake of profit, the other heirs were just vassals in their eyes, and they were of little value. And they are just a bunch of knights who dare not take an oath. However, even if it is hypocritical, but after all, it is a former knight, hope.... They haven't forgotten the glory of knighthood. After all, there are many things that cannot be forgotten, and all that can be done is to bury it deep in the heart, so let me pull out the "true" of the past, although, I don't know if I can succeed.... For their sake...
Miss Yono is now standing on the podium and saying the ball greetings to the guests, as her voice falls, the lights switch, the music of the band starts again, and the cheers of the guests mark the beginning of today's ball. I slowly walked to sit under the snow across from me, leaned slightly, and stretched out my right hand. This is also the etiquette I just learned today, and I nodded under the snow, put my left hand on mine, and entered the dance floor with me.
Dancing under the snow, just moving mechanically to the music, as if thinking about something, absent-minded.
[Hachiman] raised his head slightly under the snow and looked at me [maybe, I haven't changed anything.... It's just self-satisfaction...]
[Why do you say that?] Ha, have you given up yet?Miss Snow, I'm ready to die for you.
Gently put his head on my shoulder under the snow [I can't do anything....]
Ay... Don't use such a sad tone, besides, you can't do anything... Don't have much faith?
At least, you have something that your sister doesn't have, don't worry. I smiled and matched her dance steps, sure enough, I still have to use that method, otherwise she won't understand. You, have become more perfect, but because your sister's relationship has been in her shadow, so you haven't found out, so let me tell you how to get a new life. Answer: Faith.
As the music fades away, the time for a dance song is over, and there will be a few minutes of break in between, and everyone around them will leave the dance floor to rest.
[Hey, the dance music is over, Hachiman, can you go back with me? there's no point in staying here... I'm sorry for letting you practice for so long in vain...] He raised his head under the snow and looked at me with some loss.
[........] I smiled and looked at her [no, it's not over yet]
With a puzzled look in my eyes under the snow, I led her to the middle of the dance floor and stood straight in front of her.
[What's wrong?] asked under the snow.
I sighed deeply. Perhaps, tonight is destined to be an unquiet night, and now it can only be done.
Kneeling on one knee, holding a fist on his chest with his right hand and holding his left fist behind his back, bending his body slightly, this action was done in one go, so that the guests under the snow and around him could not react.
Then I began my vow in a deep voice:

After taking the oath, I lowered my head and stretched out my hands under the snow.....
