Evening.

In the castle hall, which served as a dormitory for delegates from various countries, the opening ceremony of the Elven Sword Dance Festival began.

In the lobby of the city pavilion, many guests have gathered to talk and laugh.

The hall, which had been decorated with a large number of chandeliers made of elven ore, was filled with elegant music.

The long table in the center is covered with a delicate tablecloth on which a variety of luxurious dishes, fruits, and other items are displayed.

In addition to the elves representing various countries, this opening ceremony also entertained noble princes and nobles from various countries.

Although Tomorrow Nayu prepares an evening dress for Yakumo Mo, Yakumo Mo does not wear it.

It is still a black-bottomed robe embroidered with mountains, rivers, plants, flowers, birds, insects and fish, although it looks a little weird, but it does not have to be bad at all.

It doesn't feel rude, as it should be.

Asuna and the others haven't come over yet, and the people who stay by Yakumo's side at this time are amazingly Esther.

Tomorrow's contract elf.

Yakumo Mo, who was holding a plate in his hand, lowered his gaze downward.

"Esther, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

Although elves don't have to eat, the highest humanoid elves are somewhat similar to humans in terms of habits.

As for Yakumo Mo, a real monster and pseudo-elf who likes to enjoy, not to mention.

"I want to eat fish this time."

The sword elf girl raised her head, and her dark blue eyes flashed as she looked at Yakumo Mo.

After this period of getting along, Esther is no longer as hostile to Yakumo as she was at the beginning.

Maybe it's because the contractors are all in the relationship of Asuka, and Esther is also a little close to Yakumo Mo.

"If you're not a picky eater, you're a good boy."

Thinking of his picky eater daughter Yui, Yakumo smiled and picked up a slice of sashimi and gently put it into Esther's slightly open mouth.

Then, looking at Esther's small chewing, Yakumo couldn't help but raise his hand and put it on the head of the little girl with the holy sword.

Stroke stroke.

Esther, who narrowed her eyes in comfort, was as cute as a snow fairy.

"Esther is really cute."

Yakumo couldn't help but say this.

Esther's tiny ears moved.

"Brother Black Sword—"

Ever since he saw that Yakumo Mo's elven costume was a black sword, Esther had been calling him that.

"Huh?"

"Say it again, please."

Staring――

The mysterious and beautiful navy blue eyes stared at Yakumo Mo.

"Say it again, please." The bland tone was repeated.

"Well, Esther is cute......"

Unable to match Esther's sight, Yakumo said again.

Then, while Esther showed a satisfied expression, Asukina's dissatisfied voice was also heard beside him.

"Ah, so Anada is interested in a kid like Esther?"

Turning his head, a flash of surprise flashed in Yakumo's eyes.

A goose yellow off-the-shoulder evening dress perfectly outlines Asuina's curves, with long lace gloves of the same hue on her bare arms, rose-like decorations on her waist and skirt, and the slender jade legs exposed at the slit are not wrapped in stockings as usual, but she is covered with ring-shaped lace leg ornaments, and the ankles are even tied with Yingluo, with crystal high heels, so that Asuina's charm is perfectly revealed.

"Tomorrow Na ......"

Yakumo stepped forward and gently hugged Assuna's slender waist, bowed his head and said in her ear, "You are so beautiful!" ”

"Humph!"

Although she was ashamed in her heart, Asukina still gave Yakumo a blank look on her face, and then pulled Esther to the side and muttered that she didn't know what to say.

With the arrival of Asuna, other members of the Asuna team have also appeared.

Whether it's Claire, Lynslet or Alice, they all look much more beautiful than usual in the evening dress.

"Daddy—"

Feeling that the sleeves of his shirt were being pulled, Yakumo looked down.

Yui, dressed in a specially cut white evening dress, stood there like a fairy in the ice and snow.

Although there is nothing to look good in terms of figure, but with Yui's cute little face, it will only make some people with special hobbies even more unbearable.

"Is Yui good-looking?"

Yui, who was blushing and blushing, asked a little wryly.

After squatting down and keeping his eyes level with Yui, Yakumo touched his daughter's head as if he had just touched Esther.

"It's so beautiful, Yui will be as beautiful as her mother when she grows up!"

[That's what I said, but can Yui, who has become Shikigami, still grow up]

Ya Yunmo complained in his heart.

"Really!?"

The little girl's little face lit up, and she happily kissed Yakumo on the cheek, and then ran to Asukina's side with a smile.

"Your Majesty, we'll meet again."

Turning her head, it was a beautiful girl with short hair.

"Are you—" A trace of doubt flashed in Yakumo Mo's eyes, and then he reacted, "Are you the dragon spirit envoy on the ship?" ”

The girl in front of her is none other than Leora Lancaster, the leader of the Dragon Emperor Knights, and the fierce rival of this year's Elven Sword Dance Festival.

It's just that she changed into a lilac evening dress, and she looks very different from her previous image, so that Yakumo didn't recognize it at the first time.

"It seems that His Majesty is not very impressed with me."

Leora was not angry at Yakumo's reaction, and kept saying in that characteristic confident voice.

"But I believe that after this sword dance festival, His Majesty will always remember me."

Yakumo nodded, but he didn't have much reaction, although the girl was beautiful, he was not interested.

Beautiful girl, he's seen a lot.

"I haven't fought a dragon elf yet—"

He stood up and took a plate of sashimi from the waiter who passed by.

"-So I'm looking forward to fighting you."

"I won't disappoint Your Majesty!"

Leora smiled and nodded, then turned to leave.

Not long after Leora left, the noisy hall suddenly fell silent.

Click――

The sound of the soles of the heels hitting the ground sounded.

In a dark evening dress, like the queen who rules the night, Rubia enters.

Still wearing a blood-red mask, she attracted the attention of everyone in the venue in an instant.

"It's Ren Ashubel!"

The exclamations of others sounded beside him.

On the other side, a god man in a white suit looked at Rubia as she entered, frowning and staring at her figure.

[Is that the other Lotus Ashur Bell who is impersonating me?] Who the hell is she]

For such a person who pretended to be himself three years ago, there are too many doubts in the hearts of God.

Who the hell is she and what does she have to do with Restia.

She's - why is she pretending to be herself?

Ignoring the various expressions of the crowd around her, Rubia walked straight up to the god and stretched out her right hand to him.

"Are you the Wind Morning God?"

Secretly swallowing his saliva, the god-man who felt that the eyes of everyone around him had become unkind shook Rubia's outstretched hand with some embarrassment.

"First meeting, Lotus Ashubel."

When the name was spoken, the man of God felt strange beyond words.

It's clear that he's the real Lotus Ashubel.

Then, under the playful gaze of Yakumo and the disbelief of the others, Rubia sent an invitation to the god-man to dance.

"Interesting ......"

Yakumo Mo, who held a plate containing sashimi in one hand and a fork in the other, leaned his back against the marble wall and laughed softly.

"True or false, the strongest sword dancer, what will you do-Feng Zao Shenren?"

The dance that had stopped because of Rubya's entry sounded again.

The god and Rubiah began to dance in the field.

After beckoning a waiter to let him take away the plate that he had eaten up the sashimi, he gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a brocade hand, and Yakumo walked to Asukina's side.

"Tomorrow, how about we go and dance a song?"

Asukina chuckled and put the goose-yellow lace glove hand that wrapped around her entire forearm on Yakumo's shoulder.

"Okay!"

Then, on the dance floor, which was originally only Rubia and the gods, there were Yakumo Mo and Asuka.

If the dance of the gods and Rubia is a sword dance full of hostile sword resonance, then the dance of Assuna and Yakumo Mo is the most tacit double sword dance.

It's the same sword-like dance, but it feels completely different.

"Dad and Mom are so powerful......"

Yui clenched her hands into fists on her flat chest, and her beautiful eyes blinked at Yakumo and Asukina on the dance floor.

When Yakumo and Assuna finished dancing, Kamito and Rubia also came to the balcony outside the hall.

There was no one there.

Glancing at the figure of the god and Rubia behind the gauze curtains, Yakumo took Asuka's hand and returned to Claire and the others.

"Tonight's main drama is about to begin."

As if in response to Yakumo's words, on the balcony, Rubia's palm lightly pressed on the chest of the unprepared god, and then-

The god-man who had no resistance was pushed down by Rubia.

"Well, I don't know if that guy from the Wind Morning God can withstand your Dark Tribulation Fire."

The Dark Calamity, or the Brand of Darkness, is the "seed" that Rubia broke into the body of the god and promoted the awakening of his demon power.

"Come to think of it, he must be in pain."

His keen hearing allowed Yakumo to faintly hear the painful wails of the godmen coming from outside.

Then, he noticed that Fiana, who seemed to notice something unusual, ran out in a panic.

Ignoring what happened after that, Yakumo concentrated on enjoying the dinner.
