Chapter 520 – You Who Remember the Sea.
The melody created by the music in her ears clearly matched Ereine’s tastes, but she didn’t even have time to worry about it.
There were an unusually large number of men and women walking around the streets, and everyone was holding hands or linking arms. The problem is that they are among them.
And with arms crossed.
‘It’s like this…’
Aren’t they also like lovers? When Elain realized that fact, she boomed! She felt her heart pounding violently. She wanted to take her hand off his arm.
‘I don’t know why I don’t want to let go.’
It was when I was glaring at my motionless hand, which was hanging on Lancelot’s arm like a strong hook.
“Do you feel uncomfortable about anything?”
“Oh, no, there is no such thing.”
He was startled by Lancelot’s question to him and shook his head, and he smiled through his helmet as if relieved.
“I thought you were angry because you didn’t say anything earlier.”
“It’s not like that. It’s just that this atmosphere is a bit unfamiliar.”
Elain had no choice but to avoid places with many people for various reasons. She was looking back at her street with a confused expression.
“Thank goodness.”
“…I don’t know what’s good about it.”
When she heard Lancelot’s voice mixed with laughter and glared at her with her pointed eyes, he lowered his head and whispered to Erein, focusing her gaze on her.
“I think you would be quite angry if you came to a place like this with another man besides me.”
“!?”
I got goosebumps at the feeling of the breath passing by my ear, playful yet subtly squeezing the back of her neck.
“There are probably a lot of things you are seeing for the first time, so let’s find out about them together.”
As she opened her rabbit eyes and looked up at him, her frozen body unconsciously, Lancelot began to lead her as if he had never done that before.
“Oh, I understand.”
All Erein could do was to be led by him.
“So! So what happened again?!”
“…I don’t know why you’re so excited.”
She watched Liza with a sullen look on her face, unable to hide her amusement as she pounded the table in front of her as if she was going to smash it to pieces.
“Of course! Do you know how much it hurt me to see that the two people I introduced have been playing chess for three months?”
‘So you don’t understand that?’
She had a lot of things she wanted to say, but she knew she wasn’t the type to listen, so she just sighed.
“Anyway, please talk quickly! I’m feeling dizzy!”
“Even if you ask me that, what can I do when I have nothing to talk about?”
“Huh?! No, why?! Wasn’t it definitely a good atmosphere?!”
Erene looked at Riza’s screaming figure with her narrowed eyes.
“I have no idea what you expected.”
“That can’t be possible…”
Elaine looked at Liza, who was lying limply on her table as if her energy had been completely drained, and she secretly drew a smile that could not be seen.
‘It would be a lie to say there isn’t one.’
She was just Erein’s own revenge, as she was a bit annoying and meddlesome.
‘I’m sorry, but aren’t there some memories you want to keep to yourself?’
Still, she remembered the events of that day as she waited for Lancelot.
“Is this like a ballroom…?”
We followed him to the square at the end of the street. Although it was the same in that many men and women danced together, it felt quite different from the dances Elain had seen.
The men and women at the ball danced restrainedly, but moved quickly here and there, changing partners frequently, and shouting back and forth was not unusual.
“There’s no expensive food or invitations, but it can still be considered a prom in its own way.”
“It’s different from the prom I know.”
Here, like there, there was no dizzying smell of numerous perfumes mixed together, nor were there women with fake smiles and knives hidden in their mouths. Because men and women were dancing freely and without formality.
“You can see them dancing like this every time there’s a holiday or a big festival.”
“You had no idea…”
At least she was aware that she had enjoyed many things thanks to her parents and her family, so she was shocked by the fact that this scene felt so unfamiliar to her, and she felt like she was falling into it. Heard.
“Can you please share your first dance with me?”
“…Hasn’t he already come in?”
No, it wasn’t just my mood. Before she knew it, Lancelot had joined in with her.
“So. Isn’t that what you’re saying?”
“How shameless.”
At the sight of Lancelot joking that if she refused, she might end up alone like this, Ereine had no choice but to match her rhythm with him and take one step at a time.
“Ugh?!”
Is it just because of the unfamiliar melody? Or was it because of the dancing? She almost fell soon after, but Lancelot gently supported Erain’s back and guided her, preventing her from falling.
“Is this your first time dancing?”
“Ugh, what should I do when I’m not old enough yet?”
Not only was it my first time actually dancing, but it was also my first time using this format.
“I’m glad. Erey’s first dance partner is me.”
“Tsk, are you kidding me?”
She said that right after she fell, which made her feel ashamed and upset.
“No. I’m serious about this. If possible, I want all your first times to be mine.”
“To…?!”
His story of coming back was so unexpected that Ereine froze, forgetting that she was even supposed to dance.
‘Seo, no way. This!’
My heart explodes! It was only then that she became aware of the sensation of her blood exploding and her face heating up at the same time. How many strange and embarrassing things have I done so far?
Why was Lisa, who was watching them, so frustrated and angry? Even her own actions, where she came to see him almost every week because Erain was determined to beat him at her chess.
“Wh-hmm, what do you mean?”
Even as she continues to dance in a trance, guided by his hand, she asks, wanting to be sure that what she understands is correct.
“Don’t pretend you don’t know when you know.”
“Hit?!”
Lancelot, who had reached the end of her days, hugged her tightly and whispered to her in a low voice, following her music.
“But if Eraine wants, I’ll tell you as much as I want. I want you.”
“Go on, even if you suddenly say something like that.”
I wanted to say that because it was just embarrassing.
“Don’t you know that it’s not like this all of a sudden? Do you know how much I’ve been patient with you all this time?”
“Huh, ah.”
It was like that. They had already been meeting for three months under the pretext of chess.
‘Why didn’t you know?! I am!”
Despite Liza’s notice, Ereine was, in a sense, concentrating as much as she could on playing chess with Lancelot, so she didn’t realize it.
It also made her play chess, first holding his hand to handle her little chess pieces. She got closer and closer to him until she was sitting right next to him. Even the gaze of Lancelot, who was always watching her.
Her bigger problem was her own mind, which she had only become aware of today.
“Would you mind answering me now?”
“I understand.”
“What do you mean?”
Erein felt like protesting, asking what else she should say.
“If you just say you understand, I won’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Ugh, I like you too.”
In the end, she was completely taken in by the eager light brown eyes that met her as she took off her helmet. So she finished her dance safely and arrived at a deserted alley.
“Hi!? Why is the alley…?”
“Didn’t you see Elain too?”
Yes, I saw it. It was even more of a problem because she also knew.
“S-No way, such a shameless person…!”
Aside from the alley they occupied, there were plenty of couples sharing their love throughout the alley.
“If you say it’s just this shameless, what do you plan to do from now on?”
“Going forward… Huh!?”
But Erein could no longer continue her words. As she opened her mouth, her Lancelot closed her mouth with his own, as if it were natural for her to do so.
“Ssssswtttt”
Elaine, who had to tilt her head back due to the significant height difference between her and him, suddenly realized that her eye level was close to Lancelot’s and that her feet were not touching the ground.
“Huh! Tsk, yes ♡”
The only things she can rely on are Lancelot’s hands wrapped around her waist and shoulders, and his knee that comes between her crooks to support her.
“Chu-eup♡ Yes♡ Later♡”
Meanwhile, feeling the unfamiliar feeling of her tongue digging into her mouth, gently pressing against the roof of her mouth, intertwining her tongue with hers and guiding it roughly, all Erein could do was quietly raise her head and touch his tongue and saliva. All I had to do was drink it little by little.
“Ugh.”
It was when Erain, still prostrate in disappointment as she recalled that time, swallowed her shame secretly as she lay there.
“You’re here first today too.”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
The sight of Lancelot opening the door of her tavern made her stiffen like a hunted rabbit, but out of embarrassment she avoided her gaze.
