Chapter 125 – 125.Water Flower Festival (3)
After watching the play, we offered words of comfort to Adelia, who was squatting in shame.
“Well, I enjoyed it!”
“Me too. It was a good piece.”
“As a play presented in Raden to the people of Raden, it can be said to pass. Isn’t that right, Sir?”
“That’s right. If you do a play in Luong, it’s like adapting the theme of Lady Lotus.”
“I don’t know! But people who dress like Adelia said a lot!”
“Thank you everyone…”
“Well, they fabricated it so much that it almost seems like it was something else. Don’t worry about it, Adelia Raden!”
“Whoa!”
As Adelia tried to recover, Atzbal struck her with an extra blow.
“Atsubal.”
Puck!
“Whoa! Why are you hitting my side, Shu Yeonhwa… !”
“The intentions are good, but saying it out loud is wrong. Adelia has squatted again.”
“Ugh! It’s wrong to be this embarrassed! What can you do because the main character, Adelia Laden, is embarrassed about a play that the people adapted for themselves?”
What Atsubal said is also correct.
However, the important point here is not that the people created this play, but rather that we, as colleagues and parties who fought against Fraton, are together and do not have to look at it.
“I’m sorry everyone… Next time a play like that is played, I’ll tell them to adapt it properly.”
“No, there’s really no need for that…”
“I can’t stand it! At least, what is that story? Isn’t it a story about collaborating with my colleagues to save Fraton? All the members of the Fortis Group are like bridesmaids, and I’m the only one playing an active part! I’ll see about that. I can’t!”
Adelia probably says this because she thinks of us in her own way.
“I understand. But think carefully about the perspective of those who are adapting it. In the end, they do it because they like you, Adelia.”
“Ha… Sihan. You really have a big heart. The speech that comes after this is giving me a headache.”
“Speech?”
“Yes… Before everyone dances in the big square at the end of the festival, I, as the princess, am supposed to give a speech congratulating the festival on the first day.”
When I think back, there was definitely a scene like that.
That’s because the outfit Adelia wears during her speech at the end of the event story is the outfit sold as a skin.
“Among those who come to hear today’s speech, there will be those who have seen today’s play. Among them, I will be the great Second Princess Adelia, who solved almost all cases on her own. I have no intention of attracting the attention of the crowd who believe that completely different facts are true. So… My head hurts.”
In other words, my conscience was very pricked.
“It may be true now, but in the future, if you talk about it and the content of the play is appropriately adapted, people’s perception will change. So don’t take it too seriously.”
“Thank you…”
“Rather than worrying about that, let’s look around the street stalls more. This time, I’m curious what that Praton candy tastes like.”
In times like this, it’s better to forcefully change the topic.
Adelia, who was looking at me blankly at my words, burst out laughing.
“Yes. I invited you today because I hope you will enjoy the Water Flower Festival. Let’s go.”
We enjoyed the festival as we walked around the stalls again.
In the meantime, we also participated in the Run Fraton competition held by Cats Company and enjoyed a little racing among the group.
Kuuk! Kuuk! Kuuk!
“Run! Lightning Fraton! You are first!”
The person who was most motivated was Atsubal.
“Yay! I’m first place! First place!”
It was Myka who took first place.
Atsubal is in second place.
“Ugh! Why!?”
“Now, it’s the next turn! This time it’s cute child players! Which Platon will win!”
Run Fraton was more popular than you thought.
Is this what Sasha has as a merchant?
Then she parted ways as the evening began to fall and Adelia said she had to prepare for her speech.
Since we knew where the speech would be held, we enjoyed it moderately and moved to the square where the speech was scheduled to take place.
There were facilities installed in the square that were perfect for giving speeches, and barricades were placed around them to prevent anyone from getting close.
There were quite a few people, but it didn’t feel that narrow, perhaps because the space was wide.
How long did we have to wait? The host came out and said, “The second princess Adelia’s celebration is about to begin,” And Adelia walked onto the facility.
“Wow… Adelia, yes, it’s pretty.”
“Sparkle!”
“It’s beautiful.”
“Seeing her wearing a dress like that makes me realize that Adelia really is a princess.”
“I agree.”
The clothes that Adelia was wearing as she walked were skin outfits that could be purchased for a fee, starting with the event story that I was also familiar with.
A dress with a light blue base and a design that has sparkling jewels around her chest and exposes her shoulders.
She’s pretty no matter what she wears, but this skin outfit suits Adelia well.
Adelia, who received everyone’s attention, opened her mouth.
“Hello. I am the second princess of the Kingdom of Raden. My name is Adelia Raden.”
She started with a light greeting and then Adelia began her regular speech.
After raising the mood of the people by talking about Raden’s brief history and her relief and joy at the resolution of the recent incident.
“I would like to thank everyone who came to Ladenia’s Water Flower Festival today. I hope everyone who came to Ladenia during the festival enjoys the festival.”
With those words she ended her basic speech.
“And from now on, the Water Flower Ball begins. Everyone, let’s dance like beautiful water flowers and bloom beautifully together. First, I will serve as an example and dance in front of you. The opponent is…”
Adelia looked at me.
“The manager of the Fortis Group, who came to this Water Flower Festival and saved Praton, the Holy Beast of Water, with me. I will be Lee Si-han.”
I never thought Adelia would point to me here.
In the game, there was a feeling that there should not be an explicit romantic relationship in the beginning, so even in the event story, after the dance started, people danced and looked at the peaceful Ladenia festival together.
But I never thought they would ask me to dance.
Since I couldn’t just ignore it and back away, I first took off the Praton Horn headband, put it in my inventory, and walked forward.
When I moved, people’s eyes focused on me.
As I approached Adelia, Adelia spoke to the people again.
“He helped a lot in this case. He was the one who first discovered Fraton-sama, who had gone berserk at the hands of the Chaos Church, and in the fight to bring Fraton-sama back to sanity, he also helped his fellow group members, the Fortis Group. It wouldn’t have been possible without your help. Everyone, please give him a round of applause as he represents Fortis Group!”
People applauded at Adelia’s words her her her.
“Is this your first time discovering Fraton? It’s different from a play.”
“It seems like Adelia didn’t almost defeat Praton on her own.”
“Well, the play was fun. Whatever.”
“Still, I would like to see a play with content close to the truth.”
Maybe the reason Adelia called me was to elicit this kind of reaction.
“Time limit.”
Adelia took my hand and led me to the center of the square.
And I spoke in a low voice so that only I could hear.
“I’m sorry. “I dragged you in like this.”
“No, it’s okay. But I’ve never danced before?”
The only dancing experience I have is the apex dance, which I was once passionate about.
“Don’t worry. I will lead, so just trust myself.”
“Okay. Just be careful not to step on your toes.”
“Hehe, thank you.”
As the music band in the square played, Adelia began to move.
I followed Adelia’s movements and moved her feet her her, being careful not to step on her feet
“You’re surprisingly good at it.”
“Is that so? I’m not sure.”
I thought she was probably moving well because her body, trained and accustomed to using spear techniques (MAX) along with her increased stats, took care of it.
She looked at Adelia, who was seen up close as she danced.
A distance farther than when I hugged my scarred torso and rubbed my face.
However, the distance allows you to see the face even better.
It was as if the latest VR technology had been developed and I could see the character up close.
No, this situation is probably much better than that.
“Why are you doing this, Sihan? The dance is going well…”
“No, looking at it this close…”
I did not hide my thoughts and conveyed them as they were.
“As expected, Adelia, I just thought you were beautiful.”
“What… !”
I was very satisfied just seeing Adelia’s face her her her turn red.
So, right next time, she laughed and said a line to lighten the mood.
“I’m just happy to have the honor of dancing with the beautiful princess.”
“Sihan… ! Ugh. Have you ever been this playful?”
“Today is a festival. I’m also in a happy mood. But the sentiment I made earlier was sincere.”
“… I know. You are not the kind of person who tells lies about these things. You are always upright and honest.”
Is that so?
“He also pursues strength more than anyone else … And he has the right heart to do justice.”
Adelia said, tightening her grip on her hands as she danced.
“I want to walk that path with you. I wish you all the best in the future, Sihan.”
“Yes. “I feel secure when I have you.”
Adelia and I continued dancing, following the music played by the music band.
Fortunately, I never stepped on her toes.
