While we were looking in the direction of the old men, we were called out to from behind.
"Lute-sama, it's been a long time. Would you like to dance with me?"
"Certainly, I would like to ask such as well."
"Why don't we talk over there?"
… Ha!
I seem to have blacked out for a moment.
I think it's because they got too close that it was this stimulating.
In front of me are young noble ladies… Or at least they appear to be like that.
Yeah, perhaps, no, hmm?
Because, everyone is awfully trained.
Their revealing dresses show off results of their training, brawny muscles.
I quietly tried to move away from Lute-sama and the ladies.
I don't think I'd lose if we were to fight, but I feel it'd be better if I left this place.
Perhaps they're Lute-sama acquaintances.
"… What do you need from me? Certainly you are… Yumell-sama, Holly-sama, and Nicole-sama."
As I thought, they're acquaintances.
When Lute-sama said their names, the cheeks of the three ladies dyed red.
Well, Lute-sama has trained muscles and is also a handsome guy~.
It's just, curiously Lute-sama's voice feels a little cold.
There seems to be a different feel to him than when talking to me.
"Lute-sama, I'm happy! You remembered my name."
"Now, let's go over there together!"
"Here, let's go."
Nicole-sama? who spoke last pulled Lute-sama's arm to drag him off.
However, Lute-sama hasn't given an inch.
The other ladies who grew impatient, also began pushing and pulling him.
However, Lute-sama hasn't moved a bit.
"Fuu, isn't it enough?"
Lute-sama intimidated the ladies with uncharacteristically cold voice and gaze.
Everyone noticed and stared at Lute-sama with surprised expressions.
Perhaps the ladies didn't think they'd be refused by Lute-sama.
These three ladies are probably 'spoiled'… as far as the Northern Country goes.
Yet I find Lute-sama's attitude mysterious, from the bottom of my heart.
"Why don't we go over there?"
The lady asked Lute-sama as if she didn't understand the reason behind his attitude.
It feels as if she doesn't understand her invitation can be declined.
At that time, Lute-sama moved towards me.
Eh? No no, don't come here at such timing.
Look, aren't the ladies letting a blood lust as if they transformed into monsters!
I, I'm not scared.
… That's a lie, I'm scared!
They're scarier than demons, no, really.
In such situation, Lute-sama showed an unequalled smile and said.
"This time I'm accompanying Lillinsama here."
Eeek!
They are monsters!
In contrast with smiling Lute-sama, the ladies have expressions of aiming at their prey.
I don't feel I'd lose a fight at all, however, after all scary things are scary.
"I've never seen her, have you?"
"For someone with such poor physique to be with Lute-sama…"
"Lute-sama, certainly you are just taking care of her? In that case, should I find an appropriate person to free you up, Lute-sama?"
They said whatever they wanted.
Well, but she's right on the mark that he's taking care of me.
It's because grandmother asked him to.
Since a while ago, there's a feeling Lute-sama seriously doesn't want to be with those people.
Lute-sama responded to the ladies with a certain extent of blood lust.
No, the other party is more or less ladies, so let's stop with blood lust.
"Haa~~, why didn't you go somewhere else when I refused you gently? In the first place, do you remember what you told me a long time ago? Well, you can't seem to remember? I will generously remind you. It was 'No matter how good your looks are, I won't associate with you when you're so slender'. I did say I didn't particularly want invitations. Putting it bluntly, why did you approach me now? That's how I feel. Now that you understand, please go somewhere else. You're a nuisance."
Oh, he clearly, decisively refused.
I see, in the old days he was made fun of for not having muscles.
I wonder if they can keep up?
The ladies who were clearly, decisively refused, turned into complete monsters.
Their faces grew red, their eyes bloodshot.
No, they became more fired up than the people of our chivalric order.
"Do you think we should do something like this?"
"That's right, that's right!"
"Even though I generously called you out, stop screwing around! She's such a thin woman!"
When Nicole-sama? said that, she rushed here.
Is this… okay?
