Chapter 171 The First Dance

Although according to what the craftsman said, Kudo's doll had already received the news that Ijuin Ayano was coming... But until the break between the two halves of the dance, Haihara did not see Ijuin Ayano at first. The figure appeared.

The prom is a tradition of the Holy Knot, but the way it is run also adheres to another tradition of the Holy Knot, which is divided into two halves.

The first half is brief: after Yoshiko Sato's opening remarks, dance music begins.

Afterwards, the "sisters" wearing men's dresses among the calyces and green leaves can begin to invite their "sisters" to step onto the dance floor and dance at will.

After this long dance song ends, Sato Yoshiko will appear again, according to the list compiled in advance, to give unified recognition and blessing to the sisters who have officially formed a relationship in the dance just now.

At this point, the first half of the calyx and green leaves is over.

Then comes halftime.

Next, comes the real highlight of this graduation prom - the stage that belongs only to the flower buds.

At this time, although the dance between the calyx and green leaf girls is over, they will not disperse immediately.

Among them, some must stay because they still need to wait and serve their respective buds who will appear on the stage.

And more of them are out of curiosity, fantasy and envy, wanting to see with their own eyes the elegance of those noble buds at the top of the list whom they rarely have the chance to meet, but whose names they have admired for a long time.

During the short 10-minute break between the first and second halves, the staff took the time to adjust the sound and clean the venue.

There was a lot of people around, and fragments of dance music could be heard intermittently.

From time to time, girls who were laughing and playing would enter the dance floor, dance for a while, and then return to the crowd with red faces and chase after each other amid the cheers of their peers.

Sitting at the VIP table and watching this scene, Hui Yuanchu couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

The Craftsman dolls are all very, very good actors.

Rationally, he had just seen these people turn into puppets and click...

But if you just feel it emotionally, the current atmosphere is indeed set off just right.

So suddenly, Hui Yuanchu had a certain idea unconsciously.

He suddenly stood up and stretched out his hand to Zhe Lukui, who was standing behind him: "Come here."

Zhe Lukui maintained her posture in front of outsiders, her eyebrows lowered and her expression could not be seen clearly: "...what does Master Gray mean?"

"I have never danced. Although I temporarily used my power to learn some dance steps in my mind... There are still 10 minutes left. Please practice with me."

"..."

"Also, I think there are some things that need to be discussed." Hui Yuan glanced around, "...but in this banquet hall surrounded by puppets, the center of the dance floor that seems to attract everyone's attention is actually the lowest one with the fewest people around. place.”

After a moment of silence, Zhe Lukui lowered his head and put his hand up.

During another half dance song, they entered the dance floor.

The move caused little stir.

After all, there are many Holy Knot students who behave in the same way as them.Around them, there were more than just three or four couples dancing together.

And it was less than three days since Hui Yuan first entered the Holy Knot.Most students have not had the chance to meet Hui Yuanchu.So except for a few calyx who were too close and caught a glimpse of the bud brooch on his chest, and hurriedly avoided it in surprise, most of the students in the distance did not pay more attention to them...

...Of course, maybe it's just because everyone is a puppet controlled by the craftsman.

Hui Yuanchu reminded himself of this again. "What the craftsman said and done just now... there is more than one lie in it." Orokui's voice sounded earlier than him.

Just enough so that only the two of them could hear it.Her face happened to be buried in Hui Yuanchu's arms, and her mouth was hidden from the surrounding sight.

Although that was what Hui Yuan had thought just now, he finally felt relieved after receiving Zhe Lukui's confirmation.

"specific……"

"Don't say it here. The craftsmen may still be able to hear what we are talking about." Orokui interrupted, "As long as you already have an idea, that's fine. There is no need to say it out."

"But maybe I'm wrong..."

"I can trust you." She suddenly raised her head and stared at him expressionlessly.

That's the look of taking off the disguise.What was cast in his deep eyes was not an affectionate gaze, but a cold pressure exerted on him.

Under that kind of gaze, Hui Yuanchu had no choice but to shut up and nod to accept.

After staring at him for a while, Zhe Lukui lowered her head and continued: "Okay, then there's another thing."

"……what?"

"Don't you want to explain to me why you suddenly made that proposal to the craftsman on your own initiative?"

"Well, indeed -" This was indeed one of what Huiyuan originally wanted to say.

"Ha..." Oroku Aoi chuckled. For some reason, she suddenly brought up another topic, and her voice became careless, "Didn't you tell Ijuin that you would be the first to invite her to this dance?"

"——Huh?" So Hui Yuan was stunned for a moment before reacting, and then replied, "I said that she should be the first to accept my invitation, but I didn't say that I would be the first to invite her."

Zhe Lukui raised her face again and looked at Hui Yuanchu with a profound look.

"...What's wrong?" Hui Yuanchu's hand was around Zhe Lukui's waist, otherwise he would have touched his face to see if there was anything strange.

Oroku Aoi continued to stare at him and said softly: "It's nothing, it's just... I found that you did far more than I expected when it came to playing with Ijuin's feelings. So, you still have talent in this area?"

Without waiting for Hui Yuan's initial defense, Oroku Kui then asked: "Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet, what do you think of Ijuin?
"Do you like her?
"Hate her?
"Do you pity her?
"Want to save her?

"Aren't you willing to attack her?

"Do you have the desire to destroy her?"

Without giving Hui Yuanchu a chance to interrupt, Zhe Lukui asked a series of questions one after another. Finally, she looked deeply at Hui Yuanchu and said, "And - don't you always respond to others' expectations? Why do you only Why don’t you want to respond to Ayano this time?”

Haiyuan initially realized that Orokui was serious and he couldn't fool him.

So he also thought carefully and sorted out his feelings about Ijuin.

The music flows through eight beats, and he and she dance in harmony in silence.

After that, Hui Yuanchu spoke again: "Then, I also want to ask you what you think of Yijuin... It seems that you are also worried about her because of what happened a year or two ago."

"You misunderstood." Zhe Lukui said lightly, "I'm not a person who is so idle that I always keep some small things in my heart, and I have been planning for revenge for ten or twenty years. I have said it all, if it is not for you, I will I won’t return to the Holy Knot, and I’m afraid I’ve forgotten this person a long time ago.”

"But what you are doing now is not what you said."
