TEASER CHAPTER 8 PART 6
Well, they had a lot
going on along the way, but it did not take them long to arrive at the Francilt
mansion.
However, when they
passed through the mansion's gate and opened the front door, their expressions
suddenly changed.
"What does this
mean……"
"A-,
hahaha..."
Irisdina's mouth hung
open in a grimace, while Nozomu smiled dryly.
Beyond Nozomu and
Irisdina's line of sight were the figures of their friends including Mars. And
beside them were the figures of Mena and Victor.
"I was going to
attend the school's course at first, but Tima invited me..."
"I-, I was told
by Victor-san that the mansion was spacious and that I could use it for
practice or whatever I wanted..."
"I heard that
it's not only Nozomu-kun but Mars-kun who has never participated in the opening
party before. Then it would be a better experience if we had a lot of people
practicing for the dance!"
"My apologies,
young lady. Master seemed to have found out from the way young lady behaved
that you will practice your dance with Nozomu-sama...'
With Victor's chest
puffed out and his voice raised, Mena bowed her head deeply in the back.
It seemed that the
head of the household had called all of their friends to get in the way of
Nozomu and Irisdina.
Irisdina inadvertently
pressed her temples at her father's unexpected interference.
"Hee~, so this is
Irisdina's mansion. Isn't it as luxurious as the party venue at the opening
party?"
"I mean, is it
really okay for us to come too?"
Moreover, among the
members who received the invitation, there were also Lisa and Camilla.
Lisa turned her
attention to the luxurious furnishings of the mansion, while Camilla was
scratching her cheeks somewhat apologetically.
Behind them, Victor
grinned meaningfully at them.
"Are Tom and the
others here to practice dancing too?"
"N-, no, I was
pulled here by Mimuru when I was in the workshop..."
When Nozomu asked Tom
what had happened, it seemed that Mimuru had forcibly taken him out of the
workshop at Victor's invitation.
On the other hand, Shina
was alone, away from the bustle, with her hand over her mouth, pondering
something.
"What about
Shina..."
*Mumble mumble
mumble......*
"I-, Is she okay?
It seems she's acting really strange...."
"Somehow, she has
been like this since morning. It seems her mind is not here..."
According to Tom,
she's been lost in her own thoughts ever since she arrived at school in the
morning and hasn't responded at all.
Nozomu turned his
confused gaze to Shina and called out to her anyway.
"O-, O~i. Are you
okay?"
"*Mumble
mumble*... Uwa~! W-, why are you here, Nozomu-kun !? Or rather, why am I in
Irisdina's mansion !?"
"Gosh, how long
have you been lost in thought?"
The moment Shina saw
Nozomu's face as he peeked in, her cheeks reddened and she began to move
restlessly.
Seeing this, Nozomu
tilted his head even more.
