Egret

Surprisingly, there was less repulsion among male participants.

I was wearing a mask anyway, because I always felt very fresh when I was in the position of applying with courage.

For them, this masquerade party itself was an event that eluded the ordinary routine.

“When you apply for a dance, you can sing your opponent's pseudonym. ”

The party participants each had their own pseudonym on their chest.

It was a name that anyone could read if they approached me close enough to apply for a dance even though I couldn't see it from a distance.

“I hope you enjoy it. ”

Background music changed with a clean greeting from the facilitator. A slightly slower tune echoed in the garden from the exciting music of the quick tempo.

The winter night sky was clear and cold, but the garden decorated with the dance hall was equipped with warm fire magic and felt the freshness and warmth of the outside air at the same time.

Nice hair.

Oops? What?

"Look, the mood changed in an instant.

Uni pointed around the circle. A little while ago, the enthusiasm that was actively pursued to get the quiz answers right was subtly followed by courage to reach strangers easily.

Music, lighting, and open devices that move indoors and outdoors.

It's a romantic atmosphere that easily adapts to the peculiar rules of Black Lady.

"In short, the person named ReyCal is a good moderator.

Someone who knows how to use the atmosphere. In this respect, I definitely feel something different from the Bikal kid.

Carney, who was clinging to Judas' shoulders, laughed.

Baikal was watching the dance hall without realizing that the spirits were talking about him.

Still, I like the little side a little better. Is it because you see it often? There's a naive side to it.

Huhu, is that so? I don't know because everyone else feels the same, except Greg.

"I like Greg the best too!

I don't really care about other humans.

…… Hey, what would I be if you said that?

Uni, who felt betrayed by the vulgar reaction of the other spirits, made a harsh impression.

“Hey, Ed? I've been watching you before, and I don't think you have a partner among the girls. How about a dance with me? ”

In the meantime, Edan also asked for a dance. She was a confident woman with a bright smile peering down the mask, a curved body, and a touch of attitude.

‘I am also the commander. Then it is.’

Baikal looks jealous as if he knew it.

Edan's tall and refined body was definitely noticeable as participants covered their faces with a full mask. Due to this, the black suit worn by the young lady was better suited than anyone else in the room.

There was also a knight-specific stealing atmosphere, and the women who were eye-opening him were considerable.

“ ……. ”

If it had been as usual, I would have refused Danknife and been faithful to the escort mission, but I couldn't have done so much at this masked party.

But I'm looking forward to it. Either way, he just followed me for escort. If you leave the main commander's side, it is a negligence of duty, and if you refuse to apply for a dance here, you break the rules of the party.

Edan looks back at Judas with a feeling of distress without even doing this. Judas, faced with him, glanced at him.

“Goodbye, Ed. ”

The reaction of the main army was not palpable.

“…… Yes. ”

Edan, who answered with a sigh, walked forward countless times. When I saw a woman who had not known her name who had applied for a dance with courage, I felt sorry for the women who had not been able to leave.

‘Next time, I'll do it! ’

‘Here, the one who acts first wins. ’

Now there was no more passively reluctant love.

The masked black-headed women began to move in search of targets that were more combat-minded, or likely opponents.

“Over there."

“Jude. ”

Likewise, it was Chalna who tried to ask Judas, who was by Isota's side, to dance, realizing that she was not in a situation where she would be raising her snout.

At the same time, the two women who opened their mouths looked at each other with different feelings of embarrassment.

Isota's eyes, faced with purple pupils resembling cherries, hardened coldly.

‘What is it, kid? On a subject that was always timidly dented in the corner. ’

The case was a childhood girl, Checilia, who had a discreet but competitive consciousness.

She didn't attend the party very well, but she used to come over and eat quietly and leave.

At least some men applied for a dance because of their opposing faces, but Isota approached them and took them away.

Every time, Chechnya had to go home shrinking like a frightened rabbit.

‘Hmph, yeah, let's see, Chechnya Charlotte. Be like you always have been. Don't try to be arrogant. ’

Feeling the look in his eyes, Czechoslovakia flinched its fist.

Isota snorts and holds Judas' arm cold.

“This is how I found out. One song.... How about it? ”

Seeing her appealing to sexiness in a discreet voice, Uni sighs nonsense.

"Wow, look at that sticking around.

"Oh, my God. It's sticky. I thought it was a spider web."

Kani also reacted with a slight covering of his mouth.

Hearing the reaction of the trembling spirits, Judas gave Isota a bold glance at my arm.

Huh?

Isota, who found the gold lining beyond the mask, trembled.

Cold gold. It looks like a lion or a tiger and creeps up his spine. Unlike silver, gold was a fairly common color, so it was difficult to infer the emperor from it alone.

However, Isota is now instinctively engulfed in fear of top predators.

With a frightened look on her face, Chechnya, halfway through her arms, sends a curious gaze.

Judas opened his mouth without laughter.

“At this party, the person who called his name became a partner. ”

It is certainly a chosen position, but it speaks like a referee.

Undisrespectfully, however, a voice of irresistible pressure ensued.

“As a rule, you have priority over Cherry, who gave me the name on my bid. ”

“ ……! ”

At this moment, there was a difference of fortune between the two women. This was the first time that Isota had been tailed and not taken from the middle.

With Isota stiffened by shock, Judas reaches out to Chechnya. He was furiously surprised and held his hand, but as he followed him, Chechnya turned his back with an anxious expression.

‘Isota.'

I couldn't check my mask face, but I could recognize that Isota wasn't a very good planter. After seeing Isota's other friends rolling their feet, I turned my head again.

I didn't realize I was out of my mind, but I felt a warm warmth in my hand.

Chechnya leans on Judas' back across the garden without holding hands.

“Thank you.”

“No offense.”

It was as flat as when I wiped the marks off my clothes. Chechnya was only able to smile comfortably.

“But I didn't mean to ask for a dance. ”

“I see.”

“…… Did you know? ”

“I said I don't like parties very much. ”

Having stayed together, I am only being harassed by the Isota faction.

Judas, who noticed that, moved the place away from them.

“I just didn't think you'd be able to apply for a bird dance. ”

He said that and gently let go of his hand. The two of them came under a large tree planted in a garden somewhere.

The winter air is icy white with dancers, but it exudes warm heat from all over. It was all as beautiful as a dream, but it was most dreamlike that the one who held his hand for the first time was by his side.

Chechnya, who had thought about it, burst out of laughter.

“Ahaha!”

All of a sudden, he smiles, but even his consideration is warm, waiting for him to calm down.

Chechnya leans back on the tree without getting her clothes dirty.

“Jude is amazing. ”

“What's so amazing? ”

“Well, I think I'm a sage who knows everything. ”

Checilia said it with no admiration, but he was somehow stabbed with a slight stab when he was called a contemporary for the rest of his life.

The girl continued to speak in a joyful tone without even knowing that she had been stabbed.

“You know what, Jude? ”

“Yes.”

“I've always been busy. He was noble, but he didn't have time to find pleasure at the party. All I had to do was pick up one more dealer at a time, and I had to put one more promotion on top of it. ”

As Judas quietly listened, Chechnya scratched the cheek and felt the cold material of the mask touching her fingertips and lowered her hands powerlessly.

“The house is poor. My parents are busier than me. So I feel like I've been working hard. ”

“Must have been hard.”

“Uh, a little bit. ”

She sighs long. I acknowledged that it was hard, and I felt like I had put something down in my heart.

“But everybody's got one, right? I'm tired and tired, but there's no one in my cramped room. No one has ever cried to hear my voice, please. ”

“ ……. ”

“Actually, I'm going to die because I'm sick, but I gave you a hard time in front of me. ”

As an adult in an 18-year-old girl, she murmured as she leaned back against a tree.

“Oh, I've been thinking about that. They say they have to love you because you're a child. What about adults?”

I saw the black night sky. As I had seen when I was a child, the sky was still high.

“I'm an adult. ”

‘I'm still nothing like my childhood. ’

“Being an adult doesn't mean anyone can endure it better..... ”

In spite of her humming voice, which was small enough to be buried in the sound of music, Judas nodded.

“You still find it hard. ”

Chechnya, looking up at the sky, lowered its head and looked at him.

“You don't ask me to cheer up, do you? ”

“Is that what it's supposed to be? ”

“Oh, no! No, it's usually like this. ”

Come on, it's gonna be great. Judas, who looks at her with a red cheek in embarrassment, opens his mouth.

“To someone who is already hard enough to die and says, 'Cheer up’ is like dying. ”

A red pupil resembling cherries gradually appeared.

“Isn't that too cruel? ”

“Ugh.”

“You're doing great now. So you don't have to push anymore. ”

Unexpectedly, tears poured down my larynx.

It felt like the weir that had been forcibly squeezed into my mind had exploded.

Chechnya hurriedly covered her face with cuffs as she went to the party as long as her makeup was messed up.

Many emotions, such as embarrassment, sorrow, and relaxation, were overpowered and it was hard to stop crying right away.

Judas stood in front of her and hid her from people's eyes so that she could cry all she wanted.
