Chapter 19: Communication at the Prom
"This dress is so beautiful~"
"Yes, yes, it's been a week of careful selection." A certain girl happily spun around in circles, and it was great to be recognized by her friends for her efforts.
"Fia's body is also very good-looking~"
“…”
"Hey, that's... Lie-sama? When a group of freshmen were discussing together, they suddenly saw Lie's figure coming over, very nervous.
"That's... Ahem. Wearing a purple evening dress and purple high heels, an indescribable charm emanated from the inside out.
Yeol looked around as he walked... The dance party has been going on for twenty minutes after being announced by the student council president, Aina. And Lie, as one of the representatives of the new students, is carrying out his own mission.
That is to take the initiative to speak to the familiar freshmen and guide them to enjoy the dance together... To put it more simply, talk to them and dance with them... It is also an opportunity to deepen friendships.
In addition, the hall is still very nice, and it is brightly lit. It happened to be cloudy today, and it was dark early outside, which made the atmosphere even more exaggerated.
"Hello." When Lie was still thinking about these things, he had already come to these freshmen, and first lifted the corner of his skirt and greeted him politely.
"Hello Lie-sama." Several girls glanced at each other, and hurriedly lifted the corners of their skirts to return the salute together... As for what they said, it was not the first time that Lie had heard it today.
How to say it, it's a kind of honorific, the meaning of being very respectful to Lie... Probably.
Elegantly stretched out his hand, with a smile on his face, and said to one of the girls, "Can we dance together?" ”
That's right, Yeol is currently taking the initiative to dance with them... Lie was very depressed, and several other representatives and Aina stood there without moving, and many girls took the initiative to talk, and he hardly encountered them.
Lie noticed that no girl took the initiative to make a request to him, but he didn't notice that the girls were secretly watching him, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to come and talk. After all, even though Lie was wearing a purple evening dress tonight, it had been deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts with the demeanor of a female knight.
If Lie knew his image in the new life, he really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
The most obvious thing is probably the strong hair... All the girls present, especially the few girls who were the core, had long flowing hair.
There are really not many people with short hair like Lie, and some of them are intimidating to girls.
However, although everyone is a little afraid to take the initiative to talk, it doesn't mean that they don't like Lie... Just like the girl who was invited by the lie at this time, she first showed a sense of shyness and unbelievable joy like the previous ones.
"Is it me?" The girl first squirmed and stretched out her hand, but when she reached halfway, her face turned red and she looked at several friends around her, and her arms froze there.
"Hold... I'm sorry, Lie-sama, but I... I'm not dancing very well..."The girl was very nervous, and there were mosquito-like circles in her eyes, as if her mind was beginning to be clear.
Just as the outstretched arm was about to be withdrawn, Lie took a step forward, and the originally outstretched arm grabbed her arm directly. At the same time, Lie's body moved and hugged the girl who looked like she was about to faint from the side.
"I believe in you, you will definitely dance well." Lie first whispered in her ear, then looked at the surrounding girls with a smile, and said, "Then, let's borrow your friends for a while... Rest assured, it will be returned in its entirety. ”
“…”
I want to die, I want to die~!
Is this really yourself? From the sidelines, Yeol was holding a young girl sideways in an extremely intimate and natural posture at this time, while speaking to the other girls very gracefully.
"Yes... Is it? ”
Obviously, the one in Lie's arms seemed to be overwhelmed by happiness at this time, and he was dizzy and unable to answer, so Lie had to ask these friends around her.
"Of course." One of the girls was the first to react, crossed her hands in front of her and bent down and said, "Please, Lord Lie." ”
“…”
Hey, why don't you just do a dance, it feels like something great.
While complaining in his heart, he took the girl in his arms and walked to the middle... Thankfully, although the girl in her arms is weak, she has always been very cooperative, and the dance moves have not been forgotten... It's just a little dangling.
A new piece of music sounded, and Lie glanced a little further away, and it was Zero playing. She seemed to be happy, half-squinting her eyes and devoting herself to the piano playing.
It's good, and I don't know why, but Lie felt relieved when he saw Zero.
"Let's start dancing~." Lie guided the unconscious girl in front of him, and began to accompany the music... Maybe it's because he has experienced a lot, and Lie has become a little accustomed to being surrounded by one fragrant wind after another.
The girl was wearing a sky blue dress, and her little hands were very white and soft,... Of course, in the other party's touch, I'm afraid it's the same, or even exceeded.
On a whim, although she was a little dizzy now, she at least kept a trace of sanity. But if only she knew that the person she was dancing with was actually a boy... Will it go crazy?
"You danced very well~" In the soothing music, the girl gradually came to her senses, and Lie said to her.
“…”
Are girls particularly prone to blushing? Lie saw that she had obviously come to her senses, but her face was even redder than before.
“… All the time... I worship Lord Lie very much. "When the dance was about to end, the girl finally spoke normally, but what was the matter with her eyes?
"I'll do my best to meet your expectations... Fia. ”
Fia, who was originally moving with Lie's dance steps, paused for a moment, only to see her eyes full of disbelief looking at Lie, and muttering, "Lord Lie... Lie-sama knows my name..."
“...”
Ahem, no matter what, as a classmate, Lie still knows the name! We've never talked to each other, but we felt good dancing together today.
"It's over, do you want to do it again?" Lie gently tapped Fia, who was in a stunned state, and asked her.
"Ah, it's over?" The moment she heard this, Fia was extremely disappointed.
Seeing such a scene, Lie thought for a while, and when the next music sounded again, he whispered in her ear, "Let's do it again..."
Lie's eyes blinked, as if whispering: "Only this once~." ”
“…”
"It's back intact." Lie led Fia back to where the girls were, and handed Fia, who was in a semi-dizzy state, to them.
"Have fun, then, at this ball." Ryo saluted again, then left in search of his next target.
When Rye leaves, Fia wakes up and secretly looks at Ryu's figure on the dance floor with even more fervent eyes.
"Today's Lord Lie is more cordial than usual."
"I... I want to invite Ryol-sama to dance with me! Coldly, a young girl plucked up the courage to speak out.
"Eh~, but... It's going to be rejected, right? ”
"But... Today's Lie-sama looks very kind~"
In the end, the girl still walked behind Lie and shouted in a weak mosquito voice: "You... Hello, Lord Lie. ”
"Huh?" Yeol had just finished a dance and was drinking a glass of juice on the table at this time... Because they are all students, only juice is served at the prom, not alcohol.
Turning around, Lie saw a young girl standing nervously in front of him, her hands unnaturally crossed together. The other party noticed his gaze, so he immediately straightened his body, and said with a slight trembling: "Lie... Lie-sama, can we dance together? ”
“…”
"Absolutely." A smile appeared on Yeol's face, and Jeol took the initiative to reach out and hold her, and then walked towards the center of the dance floor.
The other party is always so nervous, and Lie is not completely clueless, and he can probably guess part of the reason... It was the first week of school, and I was still very difficult to accept women's clothing.
Except for Zero and Aina, he barely spoke to any of his classmates. Similarly, at that time, there were some classmates who came to talk to me, and their attitude was very cold.
For example, Fia before, as a classmate, didn't communicate much except for the situation where it seemed to be just a polite response.
"Probably, being treated as a withdrawn bad girl?" Lie thought about it, and still didn't understand why he made himself a new representative... However, it is also good to be able to have in-depth exchanges with classmates and change their initial impressions.
Just like now, a classmate finally took the initiative to talk to him, and Lie, who was originally a little tired, reappeared in spirit.
The music had been playing, and Zero seemed to be tireless, having been playing for more than two hours. Lie once went to her side to remind her to take a break, but saw her extremely serious and happy appearance.
"She's happy." Lie thought to himself, nodded silently, and said nothing more.
"Lord Lie... What is the relationship with classmate zero? The girl who was dancing with Lie noticed that Lie's gaze glanced at Zero again, and asked the doubts in her heart.
Speaking of the relationship between Lie and Zero, there is a lot of speculation about this... Zero is not the same as Lie, but the indifference to others is the same as the original Lie.
So, what exactly is the relationship between zero-sum and martyrdom? After all, the classmates all saw Zero and brought lunch for Lord Lie every day.
And today, there is finally a more accurate guess... Zero is a fierce maid! At the same time, I also have a little more understanding and admiration for Zero, and the melodious music that resounded through the venue at this time was all played by Zero.
"Is Zero really Lord Lie's maid?"
Faced with the inquiry of the girl in front of him, Lie nodded while dancing with her gracefully, and then shook his head again.
"Zero is my close partner... Most of the time, though, I like to play the role of a maid. ”
"It turns out... So. The girl blinked, as if she understood.
"Well, let's enjoy this moment." Jeol lifted her hand and made a spinning gesture... Ahem, sure enough, every time I do such an action, it is especially easy to touch some places as soft as steamed buns.
"Lord Lie... Thank you. The girl walked back to the table with Lie, and she lifted the corner of her skirt and said happily.
Lie couldn't quite understand their thoughts, but he could still feel their mood at this time, so he picked up two glasses of juice.
"Have a good prom."
"Ding Dong~", Lie drank it all and said goodbye to her.
"Yo roar, isn't this Lie, why are you sitting here alone." A young girl with a folding fan approached, followed by her exclusive maid.
"Blazing?" Lie sat there, waved his hand, and motioned for the other party to sit opposite.
Blaze sat down unceremoniously, looking a little haughty... But after experiencing the scene in the locker room, I know that this is mostly due to the burning personality, and it is not necessarily really arrogant.
"I've always wanted to see you, Lie." Blazing eyes stared at Lie unblinking, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
"See me?" Lie was a little surprised, he didn't seem to have much to do with her after coming to this school.
"Yes, I want to see you." Holding the juice, as if holding a glass of red wine, after taking a sip, he said slowly: "After all, it is my opponent." ”
“…”
Hey, don't say something weird, okay? While complaining in his heart, Lie said to her with a smile: "Is there something wrong with Blazing Flame, how can I be Blazing Flame's opponent?" ”
"You can't go wrong!" Blazing drank the juice down, then picked up the folding fan and covered his face.
"I will never forget the moment I stepped through the school gates..."
Wait, on the first day of school, I seem to have appeared directly at the opening ceremony, and I didn't have any contact with the scorching flame at all.
It's just that the scorching flame doesn't seem to think so, folding the fan, pointing at the lie and saying, "Yo roar, accept the challenge of the scorching flame, this is your honor!" ”
“…”
Forgive me for refusing~, Lie wanted to say this, but Lie's behavior aroused Lie's curiosity... What did she inadvertently do to make Blaze think she was her opponent?
"Next Friday, it's the moment of our showdown~!"
Blaze stood up, leaving Lie for unknown reasons, and left with her maid to continue enjoying the ball.
"Yo Roar, let's dance with Miss Ben..."
Lie sat there, looking at the scorching figure, although the speech was strange, but it was not really domineering. Probably many students can feel this, so they happily accepted her invitation.
At least occasionally, when I look at myself, there is always a sense of challenge in my eyes... This is the same as her temperament, without a hint of falsehood.
What kind of challenge it is, Lie actually doesn't understand, but it is next week's challenge, Lie drinks the juice and doesn't think much about it.
The orientation ball was very lively, and Lie danced with at least twenty girls, half of whom were Lie's classmates. Of course, it doesn't include Shiyu and them... Speaking of which, Lie didn't dance with Zero today.
Thinking of this, Lie stood up and walked towards Zero. But before Lie could walk, Aina stood in the middle of the venue, attracting everyone's attention.
"Students, did you all have a good time today?" Under the light of the light, Aina said with a smile, "Today's ball..."
…
It's over... Lie breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, looking at Zero from the piano, and his mood was very happy.
