NOVPUBNormally, Roma would not consume any kind of alcohol, but this time, in addition to the mood of the occasion, she was a bit more accommodating to the guests. She even thought that it might not be too bad to enjoy a drink if it was only a small amount.
“Hey, Litty~. I’m going to make you forget everything else other than me, okay? Even Ilysis-san, you know?”
“Roma-san, what’s wrong?”
Roma then easily moved away from Litty and stood in the center of the restaurant. She started to dance as the customers looked at her. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
She moved with graceful steps down the narrow, flowing aisle, and then spun around. Everyone, including Litty and the others, watched in awe as she danced in a manner that could be described as graceful or bewitching.
“Beautiful…”
“I almost feel like I’m being carried away…”
“It’s so soothing…”
“This is it! We need to have dancers in our store!”
Customers mumbled their thoughts and the owner came to some conclusions. Kuufa involuntarily straightened her posture, and Aquaria sprayed water.
A rainbow appeared over the restaurant, enhancing Roma’s dance into something fantastic.
It was not possible that a spirit would be intoxicated by alcohol, but Aquaria was also intoxicated by the atmosphere of the place. Or it could be said that it was just a feeling of being in the right mood.
Roma’s dance was so perfect that even as a spirit, Aquaria wanted to admire it.
“Roma-san… I see, so that’s what a Dancer is like.”
Watching Roma dance, Litty became restless. She now understood what kind of Dancer Roma was like and was also enlightened by it.
At the same time, it became clear to her why Jennifer had regarded Roma so highly. Litty realized that while it was possible for her to do the moves, it was impossible to imitate the feeling beyond that point.
Only someone like Roma could have that kind of charm, and training would not be able to replicate it.
Litty was now chewing on the same humiliation that Roma once experienced in the Fighter’s Guild.
“Me too! I won’t lose!”
“Myan!”
Litty desperately observed Roma’s moves and tried to replicate them, and Myan joined in as well, but she couldn’t compete with the star of the show, Roma.
“She’s so cute, isn’t she?”
That was the best praise Litty could receive. And since she lacked proper skills, it sounded like a compliment to a child.
Even so, Litty continued to look at Roma. Litty still being Litty, even in this situation, was trying to find out what she lacked.
Then, just as Roma’s dance was about to end, tragedy struck.
“Ugh…”
As if her strings had been severed, Roma stopped moving and collapsed. After a short pause, everyone finally understood what had happened.
“Well, if she’s been drinking…”
“Yeah, it took me by surprise, but I should have stopped her.”
“Roma-san! Roma-san!”
Litty, who had no knowledge of alcohol, did not understand what had happened to Roma.
The surrounding adults took appropriate action, but only gibberish escaped Roma’s mouth.
“Litty~…. Now let’s go take a bath…”
“She’s saying something! Wait, that’s not good!”
“Hurry up and carry her!”
Litty didn’t care even if their departure day had been extended because of Roma’s disaster.
Alcohol, liquor. She was ashamed of her ignorance of these things and was determined to learn more about them.
In the Factia Kingdom, Litty learned that the age of
drinking was 15, and she also learned it was the age that she would be considered an adult.
There was another thing that Litty finally started to understand.
“Myan, you think I’m also attractive, right?”
“Myan!”
“I see, if Myan thinks the same as Roma-san about it, then I don’t have to think about it too much.”
“Myan-myan!”
There was no need to be concerned about who was the better one among them. That’s what Litty concluded as she watched Roma.
