Chapter 128

Couple Dance

‘Everyone gathered.’

Galahad looked around the hall.

The faces of the ones seated in the hall were gorgeous. Although ones who do a thing, all were in the middle of silence.

Their gazes were stuck on one place.

“Eueuk······.”

It was Adrianne wearing a dress not armor.

It was Adrianne who did not even move one eye even when dealing with a high-rank demon race. Such Adrianne now felt fully tense.

The hand fully trembled, the cheeks were red, and the gaze always confident was deeply lowered. Whether the dress is awkward, walked like broken.

There was not even a little the aspect of the hero who led at the forefront.

Universally appearance was relative. Galahad also thought so.

But Adrianne was different.

Adrianne—.

‘It is absolute appearance.’

It was absolute appearance no one can deny.

The thick armor always worn was desperately covering that appearance. Even Galahad the breath was blocked with a teok—, others needed no words.

Only silence was full in the hall. Everyone even forgot breathing and stared at Adrianne.

The most important was the Grand Duke. Galahad who confirmed the Grand Duke was surprised.

The Grand Duke—.

‘It is a wide smile.’

Was really widely laughing. To the extent that appearance close to a magic beast looking soft.

‘Could smile softly with that appearance.’

Galahad lightly laughed and pulled Adrianne. Adrianne was weakly dragged.

“You, the step and hand going together?”

“······Eue?”

“No.”

At Adrianne’s stupid answer Galahad shook his head. Enduring seemed Adrianne’s best.

The seat was in front of the Grand Duke. Galahad familiarly pulled out Adrianne’s chair. Adrianne creaked like broken.

“Sit.”

“······Yes.”

Galahad sat in the seat beside. Slightly examined the imperial princess.

The imperial princess was blank. There was no gorgeous smile always containing. It was a weak face not matching the imperial princess. It was the imperial princess’s true appearance.

Then, eyes met with the imperial princess. Soon the imperial princess chewed her lips. Between those lips blood burst and flowed. The already red lips became even redder.

The imperial princess’s dress was very gorgeous. To the extent the dress shown to Galahad until now feeling for preparation.

Jewels were hung in places, and that cloth was soft as if even oiled. Even roughly seeing it was a dress that seemed very expensive.

‘Firmly prepared.’

However, no matter how excellent the clothes one could not win the original.

Then, the imperial princess gave strength to the eyes and held her own dress. And tore as is. The expensive dress was torn and scattered at once.

The tightly attached red armor was revealed. The imperial princess who became an armor attire exactly like a reptile’s shell widely laughed.

‘Extreme.’

Galahad clicked his tongue and turned the gaze.

The Grand Duke was still looking at Adrianne. If left quietly seemed would be like that all day.

“Start.”

As Galahad lowly said the Grand Duke’s laughter stopped.

The Grand Duke looked at Galahad. The laughing face furrowed at once. Soon deeply exhaled a sigh.

“Will start the engagement ceremony.”

As the Grand Duke declared, drum sounds were heard from somewhere. It was a grand drum sound that would be used to raise momentum in war.

‘Using such a drum to announce the engagement ceremony—. North-like.’

The Grand Duke held the huge magic beast leg placed in front. That was terrible meat that did not even bake, or even pull the fur.

“Eat and drink.”

The Grand Duke roughly tore the meat.

The fully sprayed red blood announced the start of the engagement ceremony.

The North’s engagement ceremony was crude. There was no common ring exchange either. Just eating and drinking was all.

“······Very pretty.”

Adrianne said while looking at the lilies full in the hall. Those eyes fully sparkled.

Galahad was also surprised at the lilies. Although knew Tom gathers lilies, did not know would gather this much.

Heard the North’s lilies are so hard to find, mysterious where found this.

“Didn’t you say lilies are good.”

“Ah, remembered?”

“I have good memory.”

Then, between the crude drum sounds familiar instrument sounds were heard. Tom playing was seen.

Around that there was Gilbert of a sullen expression and Damien diligently eating. How diligently eating, the meats piled in front disappeared in real time.

The elders who originally should be between the mages were together with the Special Mission Unit.

“Saying do not know! Do not know! I!”

“Do not know yet on earth how using magic!”

“Just saying becomes used!”

“No, just saying becomes used what dog sound eating grass is this!”

“Dogs eat grass?”

“Haigo! To think would see a stubborn head genius in my life!”

“No! In the North not stubborn head but expressed as Gilbert!”

The elders continuously got angry yet stuck to Gwen. The elders’ aged eyes fully sparkled.

‘As expected seemed liked.’

Then, the North guys suddenly stood from the seat. And suddenly started dancing. Although a truly radical development, to them seemed daily and soon spread.

It was a full-scale let’s play. Dancing and tearing meat and drinking and singing and dancing—. it was a shape closer to a victory celebration banquet than an engagement ceremony.

“Truly an uncivilized engagement ceremony.”

The one who got up first was the 3rd Imperial Prince. The 3rd Imperial Prince looked at Galahad and twisted the corners of his mouth. And left the seat. Did not even give a gaze to the Grand Duke side.

Following the imperial princess stood from the seat. The imperial princess who gave a gaze to Galahad also left the seat. The Amberutan Count was dragged as if even a leash was caught.

The imperial princess cleanly withdrawing—.

‘More anxious.’

Galahad softly muttered. As the two imperial family left the seat, the atmosphere became a bit lighter.

Then, the king of the kingdom alliance Farhansta approached.

“Kerchek, the barbarian woman—.”

“Wait! Talk this side.”

“Let go! Talk with Kerchek—.”

“This side!”

Theodore blocked such Farhansta. Wondered why staff gathered around—.

‘Was thinking of protecting me.’

The staff caught the ones coming to Galahad one by one and took to another place.

Thanks to that Galahad was quite comfortable.

“······The engagement ceremony ending without problems, mysterious.”

Adrianne said while looking at Galahad.

It seemed expected problems would occur at the engagement ceremony. It was a natural story.

Originally problems would have occurred. Because personnel that have no choice but so gathered.

Not for nothing Galahad ran around overnight.

“Seems not having such thought at your beauty.”

“Ah, I see.”

At Adrianne easily nodding Galahad laughed out loud.

“Not ended yet. If saying such words might get jinxed and problems arise so be careful.”

“Ah, is that so? Will be careful.”

Adrianne seriously nodded.

The two imperial family that were the largest problem left the seat. Now it was correct to see there is no room for problems to arise.

Then—.

“Heuheu, congratulations.”

Gilbert laughed with a heuheu··· with a face like an ugly desert fox.

“Ah, Sir Gilbert.”

“It is an exciting engagement ceremony, the parties cannot be like this.”

“Then how.”

“Have to go out and dance!”

Gilbert firmly asserted. At that Galahad slightly looked at Adrianne. Adrianne stared at Gilbert with axe eyes.

“Yes, Lady Adrianne. I requested Tom to do with exciting music! Haha!”

Adrianne’s eyebrows fiercely shook. Adrianne urgently looked at Galahad.

“Didn’t say. Gets jinxed.”

At Galahad’s words Adrianne’s eyes fiercely shook. It was an expression as if really driven to a crisis.

Galahad held out the gloved hand. Adrianne hesitated.

“I cannot dance.”

“Fine, because I dance well.”

Adrianne tightly chewed her lips and held the hand. Pleasant coolness came over riding the glove.

Adrianne was lightly dragged. Galahad wrapped Adrianne’s waist. Adrianne stiffened as is.

“Take out strength.”

“But dangerous.”

Adrianne lowly said. It seemed worrying one’s nature.

“Fine. Try believing me.”

“Understood.”

Then, the noisy drum sound became quiet. Following a calm instrument performance flowed. As expected Tom.

Galahad looked down at Adrianne. Adrianne not wearing armor was smaller than thought.

“No need to be tense. Think it is swordsmanship. Because using the body is the same anyway.”

“······But there is no sword.”

At the serious answer Galahad softly laughed. Adrianne gave strength to the eyes.

“Think the arm is a sword. Like this—.”

Galahad’s foot elegantly moved. As pressing Adrianne’s stiff waist followed.

“Swordsmanship. Swordsmanship—.”

“Who looks at one’s sword when unfolding swordsmanship? Look at the opponent’s shoulder.”

“Ah, shoulder. Shoulder.”

“Yes, in this case it is looking at the eyes. Isn’t there the words eyes are the window of the mind?”

“······Eyes.”

Adrianne’s blue pupils stared at Galahad. Galahad reflected in that was laughing.

“Dance also like swordsmanship is breathing with the opponent. If I move like this—.”

“Ah, like this.”

“No, like this.”

“Ah, understood.”

Adrianne nodded. Adrianne diligently followed Galahad’s movement.

The problem—.

‘Really no talent in dance.’

It was the point that Adrianne’s dance skill is quite a mess.

Whether oneself also felt that Adrianne’s eyebrows went down in real time. Soon deeply bowed her head.

“······Sorry.”

At the appearance of apologizing for not being able to dance Galahad laughed with a keul keul.

“Fine. Didn’t say. I dance well.”

“······Yes?”

“Take out strength from the body. Completely.”

Adrianne nodded with a firm face. Galahad slightly pulled Adrianne. Adrianne’s body was lightly dragged.

“Do not try to move. Feel me.”

“······Yes?!”

“Quiet.”

Galahad calmly guided Adrianne. Slightly pulled before moving and induced Adrianne’s reaction.

As completely inducing the movement Adrianne easily followed. Adrianne’s eyes became large in real time.

Around the time the dance ends, Adrianne was laughing. Although still an awkward smile, a little more natural than last time.

Galahad laughed with a keul keul.

“Why laughing?”

“Nothing, hmm, now became a formally engaged relationship. Next is marriage?”

Adrianne’s eyes slightly became large. The risen corners of the mouth stiffened. Changed to expressionless in an instant. It was a reaction as if the reverse scale was stabbed.

“Said last time too, only engagement.”

The smile disappeared, and the usual indifferent face rose. It was Adrianne’s armor.

The emotion seen between that was extreme disgust. The target Adrianne dislikes ridiculously was oneself.

‘Because of the nature?’

Adrianne regarded the nature that burns mana as a curse.

Enough to be so.

Although a nature attractive to the extent of flipping eyes to Galahad, because a nature that gives extreme pain to the one touched and even leads to death.

However—.

“You, said so even at the engagement ceremony time.”

Galahad raised the corners of his mouth. At that smile full of confidence Adrianne’s eyebrows stiffened.

“I guarantee. We will marry.”

Galahad’s voice was firm.

At that truly indifferent declaration—.

“Ah—.”

Adrianne hurriedly left the seat.

No, ran away.

At the fierce feeling turning the head, the Grand Duke who became a high-rank magic beast again was seen.

At that Galahad—.

“Shame is quite many.”

Lightly laughed.

****

“Honestly did not know would really engage.”

Gilbert said while scratching his nose.

Ended the engagement ceremony and returned to the Special Mission Unit dormitory. The Special Mission Unit dormitory prepared inside the inner castle was very comfortable. There was also a soldier standing guard in front.

Damien and Gwen went up to sleep, and Tom disappeared saying will dry the lilies.

“Fine, aren’t you Sir Gilbert.”

“No, not that. Isn’t it the North that particularly excludes magic.”

“You also were so. Saying even if the mage disappears do not know—.”

At Galahad imitating a low voice Gilbert’s face fully furrowed.

“At that time did not know well.”

“Yes, understand.”

Galahad softly laughed and spit cigarette smoke. At that Gilbert scratched his nose.

“Sorry.”

“What saying. Ugly is fine. You, isn’t it not your fault.”

“No, saying the mannerless treating before.”

“Ah, that is fine. Looking now quite gentle side for a North person.”

“That also but···. Anyway, sorry.”

“Only with words?”

“Yes? Then what.”

“Try singing.”

“Eh, what singing—.”

“Was not sincere.”

“······Yes? Really do?”

At Galahad’s light smile Gilbert loosened his neck. If singing had quite confidence.

“I will become a knight—.”

Gilbert started singing. Soon excitement rose and even matched the beat with the foot.

Gilbert who ended the song expected applause. However, there was no applause.

Galahad was putting the cigarette in his mouth and tightly closing his eyes.

Not sleeping, it was an appearance as if taking a rest for a moment. Galahad absolutely did not sleep comfortably.

‘Was tired.’

Gilbert held the sword hilt and guarded the seat.

****

‘Not even letting attach eyes for a moment.’

At the blue grassland unfolded in front of the eyes Galahad clicked his tongue softly.

Thump! Thump! Thump! the pill of pain continuously expressed presence. That beating held Galahad’s mind.

At that Galahad who came to his senses looked for the cigarette in the bosom. There was a cigarette. It was a strange matter.

Such blue grass was a precursor symptom the four-legged demon race appears. Yet finding the cigarette so easily—.

‘The guy’s power weakened.’

Of course, although Galahad’s mana density rising also had effect, the guy was a mental high-rank demon race.

Along with that the four-legged demon race even did something like a contract, was in a state of raising influence. Could not block simply with mana density.

Then, the grass in front fully thickened. From one fallen grass blue continuously rose.

Following changed to a familiar forest.

“Calling oneself that person yet patience is insufficient to this degree not even shameful.”

Galahad openly clicked his tongue.

Then, the grass split. There the four-legged demon race slowly came out. Yet that appearance—.

“You, became small?”

If before it was an adult woman’s appearance with a deer-like lower body, now it was a child’s form.

Galahad examined the four-legged demon race. Certainly a thinner feeling than before. Weakened influence and changed appearance—.

“Lost power?”

As asking so—.

[Help.]

The four-legged demon race requested help.

‘Help?’

At the out of the blue request Galahad’s head became complicated.

If the four-legged demon race’s power weakened, there was no need. Although the meaning of processing the emperor matched, once the guy is a demon race.

Holding hands with a demon race was not welcome. Even more with a demon race without ability.

“Why do I have to help?”

Galahad who finished the calculation indifferently asked. Then the four-legged demon race’s face furrowed for the first time.

[Isn’t it because of you became like this.]

The four-legged demon race’s voice fully echoed in the head.

‘Lost power while helping me.’

Certainly the four-legged demon race helped Galahad several times.

However—.

“So?”

[······?]

“Speak the words correctly. That you helped me is for your purpose not for me.”

[Guy.]

“If losing power degree of just helping that there is nothing more to talk.”

The four-legged demon race stiffened as is. Galahad lightly shook the cigarette.

“Do not appeal for a demon race topic, accurately present the transaction conditions.”

Then, the four-legged demon race looked back. The blue grass scattered from afar. No, tore. Tore to pieces.

The world tore.

“Seems a guest came.”

Galahad indifferently said.

Anyway the four-legged demon race was a demon race. Even if the guy goes wrong Galahad did not care.

No, rather if the guy is processed good.

Because would be able to sleep soundly at night.

Then, the four-legged demon race’s mouth opened.

And—.

[The king—.]

“You, what did you say just now?”

The four-legged demon race tore as is. The four-legged demon race’s flesh pieces scattered like dust. Eyes were seen on each flesh piece.

It was pitch black eyes.

Numerous black eyes stared at Galahad.

With that as the end the space collapsed.

At Galahad who roughly got up Gilbert was flustered.

“Why?”

Galahad roughly coughed and passed the disheveled hair. The forehead and body were a mess of sweat.

That appearance was quite a mess.

It was clear had a extreme nightmare.

Yet the strange was—.

“Have to go to Magic Realm.”

That the corners of the mouth are fully up.

Not a nightmare, exactly as if had an amazing dream—.

"Hey, Tom!"
