In the darkness of the night, dozens of pairs of young ladies swirl lightly to elegant waltz music. Of course, there are also several pairs of women dressed in maid costumes dancing on the margins of the ball. In principle, it is not permissible for master and servant to dance together in such a place close to a formal setting...... There are exceptions, though.

Something that overrides the traditional etiquette of the aristocracy...... If there were, what would it be?

...... It's power.

No one dared to speak out against the descendants of this huge aristocratic family that founded the school. Thus, Yulia was able to enjoy this moment of tranquility in front of her.

"It's just...... Why do you want me to be a woman......'s ......? Well, Miss Naia, you know that, right?"

Since all of the people present were girls, except for Yuria, the lead dancer could only be played by women. It would have been a trivial matter, but ......

"Huh~?I don't know what you mean~ Hurry up, now go around in circles here. ”

"Woo......"

The maid's skirt fluttered lightly, and Yuria noticed that Naia, who was holding her right hand, was biting her lower lip slightly, apparently trying to hold back a smile.

However, although out of some evil intentions, she deliberately reversed the gender of men and women in reality...... But to be honest, Naia really deserves to be the queen of orthodox masters.

Her dancing posture is based on the rigid basic movements, with her own casual slight changes: these small changes that are not unnoticeable make the whole dance move agile and light. Yulia, on the other hand...... After all, he almost never danced, and even under the guidance of Naia's whispered guidance and movements, he still looked very stiff.

As Yulia was wrapped around her in the back and somewhat timidly handed her weight to her, Naia chuckled softly:

"Do you think that my clan has only used it for games for such a long life...... Although it is undeniable that most of the people in the family have become loyal fans of the modern video game industry, in this regard, they are better than ordinary girls~"

"Eh-"

"I can't help it...... With such a long lifespan, if you don't find something to do, it's only a matter of time before you become a dry corpse. By the way, someone's bed—"

"Alright, alright. The music has changed, what's next?"

"Next is the point!"

"I'll leave it alone late at night!"

Dancing with this person seems to take more effort in other ways than dancing itself......

The two of them sat down a little tired in the dining chairs around the square, and about ten minutes after that, Filiena suddenly walked over.

"Something, I want to talk to you about it. ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, it seemed that the inspection work was temporarily over. Seeing that this was a good opportunity to get rid of Naia, Yulia hurriedly followed.

Although Naia seemed a little upset...... But there's no way around it, huh.

To be honest, Yulia is tired and sleepy now, and although she slept for a while in the morning, that little time was not enough at all. If you jump a second time...... Yuria suspects that she will even fall asleep in Naia's arms on the way.

Filiena stood next to the school building, in a shadowy area that would normally be unnoticed.

"Yulia...... I forgot to tell you before, I told you I can't fully trust you, right?"

Her cheeks were clouded in deep darkness, and Yulia couldn't see her expression.

Filiena, whose tone was unusually calm, continued:

"I'm the caretaker of the Dusk Mansion. Now that this mansion is being used as a student dormitory, then I have the need to supervise you. If something irreparable happens at that time, it will be too late...... So I'm going to spy on you. Got it?"

Although the tone is very calm...... But Yulia always felt like she was desperately trying to find a reason.

But it's not a pleasure to monitor what you think, and Yulia doesn't think Filiana would try to find a reason to do something she doesn't like in the slightest. However, he could not find the slightest other reason. Seeing that Yulia remained silent, Filiana took a deep breath and continued:

"I'll be in charge of monitoring your every move during the winter break. If you threaten Chiya Himeno, I think Airi will dispose of you first...... So it's not a cause for concern. So, during the winter break, if I'm free and you want to go somewhere else, or visit someone...... I'll spy on you. ”

"Huh?!...... I'm not going to do anything else! if I don't even have personal space, even I will-"

"What do you want, what do you want?!I won't accompany you to wash, wash, bath or something! Nasty! Perverted! Stinky rascal!"

“......”

If these words are just hypocritical in other people's mouths, then for Filiena......

I'm afraid it's true.

How are her neurons connected? If she even has to take a shower...... That's actually a ******. Yulia didn't think that she, who was afraid of men, would want to see her own fruit - it was one thing to be able to endure it, and another thing to be able to accept it.

"Then that's it! I advise you not to think about it, to think about superfluous things! I'm on duty!"

For some reason, Yulia always felt that the current scene was particularly suitable to be described in four words.

Make matters worse by attempting a coverup.

――――

But none of this is a big deal.

Angered Naia, go play games with her, maybe you'll be happy.

was asked by Filiana to be monitored, and it would be nice to pay attention to her life in the future.

But what day it was, Yulia could never forget. Although a lot has happened, it has also been a very fulfilling day......

But what needs to be said, it is still necessary to finish it well.

Even if it's ceremonial and close to a procedure, it's fine.

It won't be long before even the night festival is coming to an end.

Actually, the night after the festival is really short. In Yuria's memory, after having a meal with Filiana and Miss Kelly, who was burned out, the night festival actually began. Dancing with Naia took up quite some time. However, because of her miraculous guidance, Yulia miraculously did not step on her feet, and the whole thing was almost smooth sailing. Filiena then came to talk to her, and although it didn't take long overall, Yulia was in a long stat after that. Although I also tried to buy food from the stalls, after all, it was all leftovers, and it was not very delicious at this time.

The main body of the festival was actually the ball, so it soon came to an end.

"Yulia...... Finally, are you still leaving......"

In this quiet cubicle, the atmosphere is heavy and oppressive.

I feel like I've been coming to the infirmary a lot lately...... But it's still sad to be in such a bright place. Yulia bit her lip slightly.

Troy and Miss Kelly, who used to live together, looked at each other, and their expressions were not clear.

Although I have figured it out before, once it comes to this time, reluctant feelings will still emerge. Perhaps people are really creatures who only remember regret when they lose, and then they will habitually suffer because of this hindsight.

"I'll be back again...... And you can also go to the mansion. The winter break is still very long......"

Yulia had already usurped her position a little, but Troy did not show the slightest hint of disgust. Instead, she just lowered her gaze and whispered:

"Yulia...... I'll give you a hair ring, so wear it as much as you can in the future. Kyle has agreed, so please don't worry about it any more. ”

"Miss Troy......"

"I ...... Didn't muster up the courage. Yuria, I'll reflect...... I'll be happy if Yulia doesn't forget me after a while...... Aina told me secretly, so there will definitely be more opportunities to meet after the winter break...... I'll snatch you back from that big lady sooner or later!"

Although she seems to have somehow mustered up her fighting spirit in the end, Yulia failed to understand the meaning of her words.

As Troy turned his seemingly somewhat moist gaze to Miss Kelly, who was still lying on the bed, Yulia stared at her as well.

This short goodbye is only Kelly's part.

But she just shook her head:

"Miss Troy has said everything that needs to be said. Good luck, Yulia. ”

"Kyle!"

Such a subtle reply apparently displeased Miss Troy. Therefore, she only smiled faintly:

"The eldest lady won't just give up. I have as many chances as I want to see you in the future...... Before leaving, if you can ......"

Kelly glanced at Troy, who was sitting next to her, as if she had seen through something, closed her eyes and shook her head with a smile.

"Nothing. Looks like it's finally time for me to face something...... Yuria, if you are bullied after returning to the mansion...... Or just want to come over and have fun, you can come to me~ The eldest lady seems to have given you a spare key, if you want to come over, come over. Then ...... Such. It's late......"

I don't know who sighed softly.

"Goodbye, Yulia ......" (To be continued.) )
