The crackling sound of firewood burning danced silently in the fireplace, the warm cream light reflected in most of the room, and a heavy burgundy velvet curtain did not stop the melodious waltz in the auditorium, and the faint sound of laughter and singing could be faintly heard.

Elegance. Moving. Cheerful. Joy.

After a brief hiatus at the back-to-school ball at Secrpes Academy, it resumed. The panic and impetuosity soon subsided, and the throbbing hearts of the young boys and girls began to beat again, and it was not long before the atmosphere returned to its original state.

“...... It turned out that he was deceived by the evil god, no wonder. ”

"Hearing that Lewin seems to be trying to use a seductive spell only to be attacked by the backlash has caused confusion, but it is not known who her sweetheart is. ”

"But I didn't see Gretta. ”

"Oops, the Giocomo brothers are gone, and I guess Greta left with them. Greta aside, there's absolutely no chance that something will happen to the Giocomo brothers, you say?"

"I'm going to invite Sato to dance!

"Roar, roar, roar, roar, up! up!"

Speculation and uneasiness remained, after all, chaos had really happened, but the restlessness did not last long, and the remarks from Mr. Froude and His Royal Highness the Third Prince quickly calmed the emotions of everyone present, and even the students who had already left returned again and again.

When the mood calmed down, the excitement and excitement surged again, and the graceful dance music made the skirts of the ladies spin happily.

It's like nothing happened.

Flowers are blooming, singing and dancing.

What about Hoden?

Hoden still returned to the auditorium and didn't leave, not because he was going to the ball, but because he needed a little food to calm his emotions.

After such a tumultuous and thrilling night, the tiredness of the spirit lingers, and such a moment when desserts and delicacies can come in handy -

When the stomach feels secure, the body is able to relax and release enough hormones to tell the brain that this is a state of happiness.

Following the smell of food, Holden left the auditorium and made his way to the kitchen cottage next door.

It's not a kitchen, but there isn't a kitchen in the auditorium, so the student council has made an appointment with a company that specializes in making food for the prom, so it has plenty of finished food ready to keep it available at all times. And now this "kitchen hut" is the space where all the finished food is placed.

Obviously, food wasn't the focus of tonight's homecoming prom, the buffet tables in the auditorium weren't much appreciated, and the fact that the kitchen hut was a real eye-opener for the many types of food that wasn't ever put on display, and for Hoden, this was the real "prom".

He had just tasted a sweet but not greasy Fusco, which had a soft and delicate taste that could be called an endless aftertaste, and he needed a little time to digest it slowly.

But his eyes had been projected to the fresh and fat Fabien again, he didn't feel much when he tasted it before, but invisibly it seemed to have an effect of opening the taste buds, and the food he tasted afterwards could feel a richer layer, maybe he needed to verify it.

Sitting in the wide sofa, the muscles relaxed, the whole person fell deep into the soft cotton, the fingertips gently tapped the armrests, the warm fireplace crackled, and the tense nerves were relaxed, and the dance party was finally a little interesting.

It's a pity that the buffet table at the ball doesn't prepare hot food, otherwise, drinking a bowl of hot borscht or eating a warm Kelebo at this time, the stomach can feel a little warmth, and then it is transmitted to the limbs along the blood, that is the most beautiful and happiest moment.

Although the buffet table is not prepared, it is also a good idea for Hoden to be able to satisfy his thoughts through brain supplements.

Crash!

The door curtain was lifted, a gust of cold wind blew in, the cream-colored firelight swayed slightly, and those laughter and laughter instantly expanded and poured in several times, like the roar of a waterfall, filling the entire space in an instant, as if briefly returning to the real world from the free space, and then the door curtain hung down again, and the solitude space wandered out again, and the ears were quiet again.

Bang!

Originally, Hodden was going to continue to pretend to be invisible, because his chair was facing away from the door curtain, and the chest-length back of the chair completely covered his figure, as long as he didn't make a sound, no one could find out about his existence, and as a result, the people who came panicked and hit Howlen's chair back again and again-

The whole chair shook heavily, and Hoden also reflexively sat up, turned around, and then could see a short-haired girl panicked, and before she even had time to look, she raised her hands and apologized nervously, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! ”

"It's okay, it's not my room. Hodden could only stand up and say politely.

The tone was slight.

A smile rose at the corner of Holden's lips and he politely invited, "You can stay here if you want." ”

The short-haired girl finally looked at Holden's appearance clearly at this time, her panicked expression calmed down, and she tried to stay cold, but she still couldn't come back to her senses, so her expression was a little weird, and she exclaimed, "Why are you?"

Standing in front of me was the girl who had scared Hoden with her shadow at the letter tower tonight.

But at this time, the girl changed into a set of purple evening dress dresses, and the dark patterns of lace and embroidery set off the delicate and lovely charm, but she looked very uncomfortable, as if she was trapped in a shell that did not belong to her, and her gestures were a little jerky.

That neat short hair should be her body.

The girl realized that Hodden was also looking at herself, and her outfit was exposed, as if a superhero had suddenly been revealed, her expression became more and more restrained, and she gritted her teeth slightly, "I'd better leave, I don't want to stay here and disturb anyone." ”

"Ha, as I said, this is not my room, and you didn't bother me. We just share a space, and I feel like that should be allowed. Hodden's words were also a little joking, and he said lightly, and then raised his chin to signal the direction behind the girl, "I'm not used to the atmosphere inside, and for a moment, I feel a little suffocated." ”

This way of saying this made the girl's expression soften a little, shrugged her shoulders, and said stiffly, "I didn't say that. But then he lowered his gaze, "But I don't mind being here." ”

"Hoden Herlow. Seeing that the atmosphere stiffened again, Holden introduced himself in a friendly manner.

The girl raised her gaze to look at Howlen, her eyes full of vigilance and confusion, as if to say: Why did you suddenly introduce yourself?
