Chapter 92 – Welcome Ball

#092.

“Thank you for your effort!”
“Okay. You did a good job too.”

The next day after making a deal with Cristina.

As usual, after sparring with Seria and giving guidance, I went to the bench and picked up a water bottle.

And..

“What? What?”

Strangely, I felt as if the amount of water in the bucket had changed.

It’s very subtle, but my excellent senses caught it exactly.

“Ah… It must be an illusion.”

Not stealing my water bottle, just drinking some water and going?

It was so absurd.

If it were real, nothing would be as creepy as that, but it couldn’t be.

Gulp! Gulp!

“It’s so cool.”

I poured water down my throat until I felt like it and headed straight for the shower.

And after a simple shower, I headed straight to the abandoned building.

Shall we go a little leisurely today?

When we went to Kitty’s nest, Christina was already there.

Oh oh oh!

“Whoop.. Is it that good?”

But Christina’s expression was brighter than usual.

She must have worn her cologne, but the dick cat was clinging to Christina and doing aegyo to her.

Each time she flipped her belly open, a smile appeared on Christina’s face like a bud blooming.

‘As expected, he’s not doing it!’

Just as Lucas didn’t use her mana sense in the Frencia mansion, Christina doesn’t seem to spread her mana sense out wide in her abandoned building.

Last time, I sent the detection first, so I only noticed it with my excellent mana sensitivity.

I was able to come to the front of the classroom by hiding as secretly as possible and concentrating my senses.

But even that had its limits.

When I entered the classroom, Christina jumped up in amazement.

“It’s a nice lunch.”
“Why is this…”
“Why? I’m here to talk.”

Cristina looked back and forth between the pussycat and me, then she winced, looking a little taken aback.

She probably thought she looked shy.

She smiled deliberately at him and said.

“By the way, the professor also had a cute part, right? I like that too.”
“You..!”

Christina was shaken by my fervent courtship, which had begun today.

I have said that there are many men who have approached me so far, but no matter how openly I have not met them.

Step over to her side and stroke her head in Fuck Kitty..

Kyaooooong!!

She tried to but was backed off by her ferocious claws.

As she awkwardly confronted her, Cristina held out her cologne.

“Why don’t you use this too?”
“Yes? Can I?”

It’s not something that costs a penny or two, but I didn’t expect it to be offered so readily.

She asked cautiously, and Cristina approached silently and sprayed her cologne.

“Anyway, this kind of stuff is meant to be bought once and never bought. It’s not good to have useless lingering feelings.”

As soon as Christina applied her cologne, her vigilant cock-cat began to tease her relentlessly.

She looked at the snobbish figure and opened her mouth.

“Professor. Do you have time today?”
“…The deal is already over with the prom.”
“Yes. Because of that. I heard that you have to register as a partner to receive various support?”

While sparring today, she asked Seria about the prom.

Then she said that she had to register as a partner as soon as possible to receive proper support.

She says the policy is for commoners, not nobles.

In the case of commoners, it is difficult to start with a dress and make-up.

However, it was not entirely meaningless to the nobles.

She said that she even calls her name when entering, so in the case of aristocrats, she said that they apply for the purpose of showing off their fiancée.

When she spoke of him, Cristina opened her mouth wide in surprise.

“Once it gets to that point, there is really no turning back. Rumors will spread.”
“Is that what I want? Now, the professor can’t date without me.”
“I had no idea at first. Follow me.”

Cristina briefly exchanged greetings with Cockcat and left the abandoned building.

She and she turned to the receptionist.

“Um… What are you two doing?”

The receptionist’s sister looked at Christina and me and tilted her head.

Maybe it feels strange when two people who don’t seem to get along at all come together.

So she smiled brightly and said.

“I’m here to register as a prom partner!”
“…Yes?”
“I came to register as a partner.”
“Ah… Ah, I see. Wait a minute?”

Saying that, the receptionist’s older sister looked at the two of us with a questioning expression as she rummaged through her papers.

It seems that cognitive dissonance is coming even though I heard it myself.

‘It feels so good…’

There is one thing everyone acknowledges, even if Cristina is estranged within her academy.

That is, being like a flower on a cliff.

No matter how much the nobles have no merit in terms of status, her dazzling appearance and excellent body were enough to be coveted by anyone.

I don’t know if it’s a deep relationship, but there are many men who want to play with fire one night.

But whoever comes, the kind of girl who draws a line like a knife becomes the prom partner of the student, especially the freshman of the first year?

Everyone in the academy will probably be amazed.

It’s not that I’m attacking Christina because of that, but I still felt a strange sense of superiority.

“Can you two sign this, please?”

After waiting for a while, the receptionist held out a piece of paper.

It was a prom partner application.

After roughly signing and handing it over, the receptionist said.

“All procedures are over. If you come here on the same day, I will guide you right away.”
“Thank you. Go Professor.”

Percussion!

I tried to take her hand subtly, but Cristina simply brushed it off and left the building.

“The deal was closed at the ball. One more time and you won’t even go to the prom.”
“Oh, sorry. I won’t.”

Also, I am still far from feeling good about myself.

I’m sure we’ll have to compete at the prom.

But now that I have completed partner registration, I really can’t take it back.

Me and Christina too.

‘How pretty..’

If I go to a ball, I’ll wear a dress, make-up, and all sorts of things.

I can’t wait to see that beautiful figure as soon as possible.

After that, she made a rough appointment to meet at what time on Friday, and then parted ways to go about their own business.

***

“Then stop here! Remember what you learned today about the correlation between interruption and body change.”

Suddenly – Tak!

After saying that, the swordsman professor left the classroom.

“Ugh..!”

I stretched out and immediately left the classroom to meet Christina.

And in my gaze, I saw Bianca Yurinas having a friendly conversation with a man in the distance.

“Men change every day..”

The man kept changing every week and muttering to himself as if talking to himself, but Seria jumped out from behind and answered.

“Because Bianca-sama is popular. She has her own talent, but is she really the daughter of a writer after her?”

Certainly, Bianca and I are the only ones who reach the 6-star level among first-year academy students.

That meant that he was the strongest in the Empire at the same age.

But when I thought about it like that, I had another question.

“Seria. Bianca is a great talent. Should I still have an arranged marriage?”
“Yes? Of course. Wouldn’t that benefit the family too?”

Rather, she was Seria who gave me a strange expression.

If you think about it normally, that’s right.

But does that mean she can’t live the life she wants anyway?

She didn’t mean to be Bianca, but seeing her often made her realize that the smile she still wears was fake.

Even talented people who are praised as geniuses throughout the empire must sacrifice for the sake of the family…

‘It’s not good in this way again.’

Of course, that’s why they can still maintain their prestige as a prestigious family.

I shook my head as I watched Bianca until she completely disappeared from sight.

‘It has nothing to do with me.’

I erased her wandering thoughts at the thought that she was acting out of the way unresponsively.

“Then I go. Enjoy your meal too.”
“Yes. Enjoy your meal too, Lai.”

After a brief greeting, Seria headed to the restaurant with her group, and I moved to the abandoned building.

After passing through the garden and entering the dilapidated building, Christina was playing with the kitty.

“I’m here.”
“I know.”

Cristina was unfazed as she realized that she always came around this time of day.

There was no conversation between the two of us, but it wasn’t particularly awkward or anything.

Cristina played with Kitty and I watched it.

No matter how much she watched, she never got tired of being a peerless beauty.

Cristina said as she was about to stare at it.

“You… Why do you like me?”
“…Because it’s pretty.”

At times like this, you can buy favor with all sorts of rhetoric, but I didn’t.

I’ve heard that kind of thing so many times that I’m sick of it.

Cristina was momentarily surprised by my candidness. She squatted up and looked up, and she smiled.

“Okay. You also like my appearance.”
“Yes. That was the first thing that caught my eye.”
“Too honest. Didn’t you think I’d hate that word?”

She stood up and faced him head-on, grinning at what he said.

“At least I thought you would hate lies more. No?”
“…It’s okay. Let’s stop.”

Was it not to her liking that she had penetrated her own insides?

Christina furrowed her eyebrows as if in displeasure and left the abandoned building.

“It is difficult. Difficult.”

Ohhh…

Did he even respond to my murmur?

Kitty was washing her cat’s face and crying softly.

Since then, Christina has not visited the abandoned building, and in an instant she is the day of the prom.

***

“Whoa.. Let’s go.”

Taking advantage of my free time for the first time in a long time, I was absorbed in training alone in the swordsman’s hall, and I saw the time and headed straight to the shower room.

After a brief shower, he left the swordsman’s hall and saw the sun slowly setting and dyeing the streets red.

“As expected, there are no people.”

There was no afternoon lecture today, perhaps because of the welcome ball, and it had been a long time since all the nobles went to a salon or something to dress up.

At most, a few commoners were hurriedly heading toward the main building.

I chased after him to avoid being late, and I saw Cristina glanced at her watch from one side of the main building.

As she got closer, Christina lifted her head, as if she felt a presence.

“Did you wait long?”
“Not really. Let’s go.”

Cristina quietly headed inside the building, as if there was no need to talk, and she could see the new students filling the cage.

I immediately took the registration number and looked around. The new students who looked like commoners were talking to each other in a friendly couple.

Then, when we settled down nearby, our eyes focused.

Perhaps the appearance of me, a student, and Cristina, a professor, being together is disparate.

Ignoring the gaze and waiting, the number of people quickly decreased.

“Looks like we’re a little late.”
“…Sorry.”
“I am not blaming you. Rather good. Because the main character always shows up late.”
“…”

She originally intended to meet earlier, but Cristina delayed the time saying it was impossible because of her studies.

But it’s not too bad.

If you appear at the end, the attention will be more focused.

Soon the people all but us disappeared and headed to the receptionist.

“Ah, there are two of you. Go up to the second floor and go to the left for women and to the right for men. When you finish dressing there, we will guide you further.”
“Thank you.”

After listening to the simple instructions, I went up to the second floor and saw a long hallway on both sides.

“Then see you later.”
“Okay.”

Again – again –

I glanced at Christina as she walked away, then quickly crossed the hallway to her right.

As I continued to do so, a large space came out.

I saw two doors in that wide space, and I saw a person waiting in front of them.

And just then, the door opened and a handsome man in a suit came out.

As I got closer, I overheard a conversation between the two.

“If you go down these stairs, the carriage will be waiting. If you wait in front of it, your partner will also come out.”
“Is that so? Thank you.”

After that, the man went down the stairs, and the guide who was talking to him approached.

So I approached him and opened his mouth.

“I came because I was told that I could be guided this way.”
“Yes. Then would you like to come over here? If you go inside, the designers will be there.”

The guide stopped in front of a room, bowed, and returned to his seat.

Jump!

As soon as I opened the door and went in, a woman who was just organizing beauty tools looked at me.

The woman was stylish and neatly dressed.

“You are the last one. Sit over here.”

A female designer immediately sat me down in the hairdressing chair.

“Which style do you want? In my opinion, a clean and soft style would be suitable for guests.”
“Then please do so.”

Since it’s a designer hired by the academy, how can they do it well?

When I saw the guy who came out earlier, his skills seemed clear.

To put it simply, the female designer started touching her hair straight away.

The female designer, who stroked her hair neatly and touched her here and there, soon nodded at her.

“Since the character is so tall, a clean, not too flashy look suits her well.”

When I look in the mirror, I can see a very handsome man.

‘He’s grown a lot.’

She looked at her hair for a moment, but the designer directed her to one side.

“Lie down here.”

As she lay there, she immediately washed her hair.

After that, when she finished setting her hair, she pointed to the room where the female designer was connected to her side.

“If you go this way, there will be a costume designer now.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome!”

After a rough conversation, I went to the next room, where there was a male designer.

I didn’t know what kind of clothes I prefer, so I chose a neat suit and left the door as it was.

Then the guide from earlier came and guided me, and I came down the stairs.

“Wow… That’s great.”

The wagon wasn’t quite as good as a quadruped wagon, but it was luxurious enough.

After briefly greeting the coachman, I leaned back in the carriage and looked at a different entrance from where I had come.

How much time has passed

When you get bored and stare blankly at the ceiling.

Another angle-

The sound of shoes was heard.

And when she turned her head, she saw a woman in a gorgeous red dress.

“And..”

Softly—

Her normally fine hair was flowing like silk and shining brightly.

And proper makeup, neither too much nor too little, made her face even more beautiful.

Her dress was structured to expose her shoulders, and perhaps thanks to that, her voluptuous breasts were exposed.

It was quite short at the bottom, so even the slender legs were exposed.

While I stared blankly at her with her mouth open, Christina came right in front of me.

“Are you a little late?”
“No!”

Recognized by the voice, I smiled and shook my head.

Cristina, who was looking at her own clothes while looking at my face, was about to climb into her carriage.

So she hurriedly stood in front of her and held out her hand.
“Catch it.”
“…Okay. Thank you.”

After a moment of silence, Christina, thanking her, took my hand and climbed into her carriage.

After that, I got into the carriage and she started moving straight to the ballroom.
