Chapter 4: Dezel and the Ball
In 18th-century France, a grand masquerade ball seemed to be being held in a mansion, and the participants seemed to be characters with heads and faces in some way, all wearing masks, but the whole ball gave an ominous atmosphere.
"It's always a bit of a stretch to wear such clothes, Mr. Destier." Pulling the new costume he had just put on, the black-haired teenager said impatiently.
"Let me get used to it, don't waste your noble face, dress up well, and restrain your belligerent expression, but it will be very popular with girls." Next to the boy is a man who thinks he has long green hair and gives a sense of elegance overall, and although he is wearing a mask now, he can still see his handsome face in general.
"That's okay with that, I just got the holy clothes, I thought I could have a debut battle, who would have thought that I would come to this kind of ball." After tugging at the tie around her neck and making it more comfortable, Naraku replied.
"However, it's really surprising that you can get the Phoenix Sacred Vestment, which no one has been able to wear since the age of mythology."
Destier was still very surprised that Naraku was able to bring back the sacred clothes of the Phoenix constellation smoothly, at first when the Pope asked Naraku to go to get the holy clothes, he didn't have much hope at all, after all, at that time, they couldn't see the guardian constellation from Naraku's body, you must know that if the guardian constellation is not right, it is difficult to wear the holy clothes, unless there is a holy garment or the owner of the holy garment agrees.
"Well, who knows!" Looking into the distance, Naraku replied indifferently.
"Don't pretend to be deep in this kind of place." Deterre, who was speechless by Naraku, said helplessly, "Anyway, it's okay if you don't come!" ”
"Ha~~, it's not pretending to be deep, it's boring to the point of being weak, if I stay in the Sanctuary all the time, I'm afraid the whole body will be moldy, the old man won't let me compete with you, it's not interesting to just watch you practice all day long, this time he just let me go out on a mission, I think if there is a strong guy, it can just let me loosen my muscles, if there is no interesting guy, I'm afraid I can't help but go to the zodiac!"
"Naraku, don't say such things, we're Athena's Saint Seiya, of course we can't fight among ourselves!"
"I don't care, and besides, fighting is the source of motivation for people to improve, and if you don't fight, it's just a showpiece in the end."
"Although that's the case, but your own people will be caught by the enemy, and besides, don't you still have a mission to go out and fight?"
"Hey, don't tell me about this kind of having or not, because there is no relationship with the holy clothes, the old man is completely unwilling to let me go out on a mission alone, although I got the holy clothes this time, and it is still legendary, but in terms of level, it is just bronze, you see, even this time I want to come with you, ah, if I come out with you, basically there is no chance for me to appear, after all, the strength of gold belongs to the top ruling class in the human world."
"There's no way around it, after all, the attacks of the Saint Seiya are extraordinary, but the body of the Saint Seiya himself is still a human being, if that kind of attack hits the body without the protection of the Holy Clothes, it will be seriously injured or even killed, and, although according to your strength, even if you are given the Golden Holy Clothes, it is also right, but now all the Golden Holy Clothes have owners, plus you can't see your guardian constellation at all, it is very good to be able to get the Holy Clothes, and the key to the strength of the Saint Seiya is not the Holy Clothes, It's in ......"
"The small universe is, I've known this kind of common sense for a long time, but I'm not talking about strength, it's about status, it's impossible for the Bronze Saint Seiya to get any interesting tasks." When Naraku said this angrily, suddenly, his eyes turned, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"But what I didn't expect was that Monsieur de Destier would have known such a beautiful man, and that he would have brought us to the scene of this ball, and if I were Monsieur Destier, I am afraid that I would have married Miss Serafina a long time ago." The boy pointed to the silver-haired woman standing in the crowd.
"Okay, don't talk about anything else, don't forget that we have a mission this time, don't we?"
"I know, I'm here to search for your teacher, Mr. Destier, aren't you? All right, anyway, Monsieur Destier, you should go and accompany Miss Serafina first, and I will investigate a little here, and I must not be left without any effort! I'm here to fight, and if you don't make a move, it's over, then I'm still playing! Naraku walked towards the dance venue.
"Isn't your shot about the same, well, be careful, Naraku."
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The prom was full of all kinds of people, but Naraku didn't care too much about others.
This action came from a letter sent to the Pope and Destel, with nothing else on it, except for "Save Me" and the signature "Cresto", who was a participant in the last holy war and was also Destier's teacher, who had gone to a woman's territory a year earlier and lost the news, and that woman was the mistress of the mansion, Canette.
Coincidentally, seeing a little maid swaying with a wine glass, Naraku went directly over to help her straighten her body, and instructed by the way: "You can't look around when you hold a wine glass, Miss Maid." ”
By the way, he smiled like the sun shining on the Mediterranean Sea in summer.
"Well, thank you very much for your help, can you please let go first?" Now Naraku is behind the maid, and she uses her hands to directly support the trays on both sides, so it seems a little close.
"Oh, that's my rudeness." Removing the tray and setting it aside, "Excuse me, can I ask you a few questions?" Miss Maid. ”
After making a gentleman's salute, Naraku asked the maid who had just helped, because of his appearance, as long as he smiled, he still looked quite kind.
"Yes, but who are you?" The maid asked Naraku.
"It's rude, I'm the deacon who follows my young master." Pointing to Deterre, who was with Serafina next to him, "My name is Naraku, and it's not a name worth remembering. ”
"No, no, no, I should be rude, because you are the deacon of that gentleman." Looking in the direction of Destier, he showed an intoxicated expression, "But aren't you too young?" ”
"This belongs to our young master's personal privacy, please forgive me for not being able to answer, so can you please answer me a few questions now?"
"Yes, please."
"Can you tell me a little bit about the owner of this mansion? My young master seems to be quite interested in this. ”
"Hah~~" The maid sighed, "Is it someone who is interested in Miss Janet again?" Yes, yes, it is true that the young lady is very beautiful, and it will definitely exceed your imagination!! Those eyes and lips are like jewels that will captivate people! Just because of that young lady's beauty, no one will attack this area, and even the invasion of foreign enemies can be defended! Other words! She has always ruled over the people and enemies with her beauty!! ”
"This ...... I didn't expect it to be able to do this, it seems that not only the young master, but even I have to be a little interested in this woman. Naraku seemed a little surprised to hear this, but she still maintained the grace she had when she entered.
"Yes! So when it comes to the charm of that young lady, I can only say......" A burst of music came from the center of the venue, interrupting the maid's words.
"This is a wonderful time, now, the hostess will come to the venue, please be careful, if you listen to it for too long, you will be dragged away by the gods, it is a strong demonic nature that can lure ten thousand people into the other world, and those who listen to her are all deeply in love with her, and are bewitched by the beautiful voice of the lady of Canette." Accompanied by the sound of music, a noble lady with long black curly hair slowly walked down the steps in the center of the hall, as the maid said just now, this woman is full of mature charm all over her body, I am afraid that people who cannot control themselves will be attracted to it in an instant.
Canette sang on the steps, no doubt the so-called magic sound, and all the visitors around her knelt down on one knee like a witch as if they had been brainwashed.
Among the visitors, the only ones who did not kneel were Dezel and Naraku.
"Ahh......h We're in trouble, Mr. Destier. Naraku, clasping her arms to her chest, shook her head, and then showed a casual smile that had been restrained since she entered the place.
Naraku himself is proficient in psychic attacks, and, for some reason, he has an amazing resistance to psychic attacks, and this level of psychic manipulation is not even as threatening to him as the fist swung by the Bronze Saint Seiya.
"What's wrong with you? Mr. Naraku. The maid saw the change in Naraku's expression and asked with concern.
"No, it's nothing, it's just that the current situation is a little unexpected, but my young master will definitely have a way, please rest assured."
"Oh......" seems to have succeeded in flickering over.
"Well...... How could anyone not kneel under my singing......" Canette on the top of the steps looked at Destier, as if ignoring Naraku, who was also standing.
"So everyone, today is my birthday party, everyone is my guest, I am embarrassed to have been using such a polite gesture, please enjoy it." After instructing the band to play music and get the guests to start dancing, Garnet walked straight down the hall, as if to invite someone to dance.
On the way to someone, although many people invited, Janet refused, and she had only one target, that is, Destel, who was talking to Miss Serafina.
"Can you dance with me?" An invitation was sent to Dezel.
'Phew, it seems that Destier's peach blossom luck is really good, should he be reminded to be careful when boiling water in the future, be careful that Miss Serafina gives him a wood knife from behind.' (Note: Dezel's voice actor is the same as someone's scum)' Seeing this situation, Naraku thought ill-intentioned in his heart.
"It's an honor, let me dance with you." Destier did not show any panic, still in an elegant state, took Garnet's hand and danced directly with her......
