Tensei Saki ga Shoujo Manga no Shiro Buta Reijou datta Chapter 102

Social debut in this country referred to an event when a young lady of age 16 years old had an audience with the king.

There were some differences from country to country, but here it's a set of large-scale debut party and the audience with the king.

Daughters who would have their social debut would go to the capital city beforehand and prepared for the occasion.

At those times, there was no specification for clothes, but their hair would be decorated with white flowers.

That's the landmark of the young girls having their social debuts.

There were parts similar to my original world, but it was mixed with culture unique to this country.

The names were called one by one, and they would have audience with the king. After that, they would participate in the parties.

As soon as I had the audience, I was accompanied by Ryuze and was walking through the venue.

It was the culture of this country, in such an occasion, I had to be accompanied by a male of my house.

On the opposite side, Nora was walking with her father.

Lily was with her parents. Ricardo was also standing by her side.

The three people of Astor from Astor earldom were uncomfortable with the unfriendly air.

The moment I moved and tried to talk, the dance had begun.

[Britney.]

My cousin prompted me and I took his hand. It was a rule that the first dance had to be with family.

Ryuze led me in the dance with practiced hands. I didn't want to admit, but his dancing skill was perfect.

Meanwhile, although I was tone-deaf, I miraculously did not step on his feet.

(There's no reason to be scared of stepping on his feet.  Ryuze-niisama has always been skillful since the olden days.)

I felt gazes from the surroundings. It was surely the powerful amorous gaze from young ladies towards Ryuze.

They must be waiting to dance with Ryuze after our dance was finished.

[Onii-sama, you're still as popular as usual. The young ladies are passionately looking at you.]

[Fufu, what? Are you jealous?]

[Ha…? It's not like that. Look, the song is about to finish.]

[Britney, can you honor me to be your next partner?]

[Ricardo is over there. I have not decided to dance again or not, but I want to try to call out to him. There's such a thing, but I want to show to the surroundings that our relationship with Astor earldom is still good.]

[Un, is that so.]

[The loss we received in the conflict was great, and there were victims. The mastermind from northern country and Millard cannot be forgiven, to be honest… but Ricardo is different.]

Saying so, my cousin gently nodded.

[I am also planning to speak to Miss Lily. Why don't we go together?]

[Yes…]

After we finished dancing, we looked at Ricardo.

In any case, the ladies aiming for Ryuze were carefully observing his behavior.

In order to not be called out, we placed a small distance from them.

Just a little, it's invisible to the strange group.

Although Lily was tremendously cute, since she's a daughter of Astor, even after her dance with her father was over, no other person tried to actively talk to her.

There were a few men who tried to call out to her, but they were worried about Astor earldom's reputation.

In such a situation, I called her dignifiedly.

[Lily-! It's been a while.]

Lily, who noticed me, waved her hand to me, she then saw Ryuze walking behind me and blushed. She also made her social debut.

Wearing fluffy hair ornaments and white dress of the same colour, she looked nervous.

(That honest reaction is also cute…)

Although I was a year younger than her, she made her debut the same year as Nora and I as it would be better to have acquaintances.

Her family was facing harsh criticism right now, but that sort of thing couldn't be predicted.

That's why, her father was in a hurry about his daughter's happiness. He wanted his beloved daughter to get married as soon as possible… and, it seemed to be getting desperate.

Ryuze, who greeted Lily's father who was the current Earl Astor, invited her to a dance without any hesitation and gallantly escorted her. The men who only looked at Lily had regretful expression.

(Good job, Ryuze-niisama.)

The young ladies' line of sight was still pursuing Ryuze… eh, Nora!?

(She's mixed with that group of young ladies!?)

The father who was support to escort Nora was…

Aa, he was standing frozen at the end of the young ladies group. He's a bit pitiable.

By the way, Marlow and Angela were about to appear when the crowd became excited.

Probably, the heroine Merrill was about to be introduced.
