[Goodnight. Mr. Wolf] Chapter 7

Become a Patron!

 

Hello, Mr. Wolf 2

 

I dressed myself in a lavender dress and stand in front of the mirror. Imagining myself standing next to Siegfried in my head, I hold my forehead with my right hand and shake my head.

 

 

"After all, what only adults and children can see ...!"

 

 

I rarely tried to have my hair tied up at the back, but I can only say that it is subtle when asked if I became mature. I turn around in front of the mirror while roaring, and check my whole body, front, side and back. Even if I wanted to be at least as tall or chestless as Lilianne, I couldn't help it anymore.

 

In the meantime, the room door was knocked in no time. She placed pearl earrings on her ears at the last bad foot, and hurriedly jumped out into the hallway.

 

 

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

 

 

━I found Siegfried at the end of the open door and bow down. The pale pink stall hung on his arm shook gently as Aria moved.

 

 

"……You look beautiful."

 

"Thank you."

 

 

I laugh a little at the social order and put my hand on his arm. I chose shoes with a high heel, but I could barely reach the tip of Siegfried's shoulder. There was a height difference more than I expected, and Aria’s shoulder gently drooped.

 

 

"What's wrong?"

 

"eh?"

 

"Since you were sighing, don’t you like me escorting you?"

 

"No! It's the opposite!"

 

"Opposite?"

 

"Siegfried is a nice person, so I'm sorry that I lined up next to you."

 

 

I was depressed while talking, and the last word came out in a very small voice. If he joins a party with such a disproportionate partner, I will surely see it again. It would have been nice to have been standing quietly as a flower on the wall, but that's not the case today.

 

 

“But I'm pretty good at dancing! I haven't danced at nights so far, but I'm sure my dance teacher praises me, so I'm sure I'm not ashamed of it!”

 

 

Don't feel dark again, and make a bright voice intentionally to shake it off. Looking up at Siegfried's ears, the red earrings are gently shaking.

 

 

"Then I'll be your first dance partner. It's an honor."

 

 

Siegfried laughs softly. Somehow I became embarrassed and my cheeks became red, and at the tip of my head I noticed that Siegfried's hands were wearing black leather gloves. If you look closely, you can see that the surface of the leather is worn out. I don't think the item itself is bad, but it doesn't suit the current Siegfried with white buttons and gold embroidery.

 

 

"Worried?"

 

 

Did he notice what Aria is looking at? Siegfried holds his gloved hand in front of her face.

 

 

"It's hard to hurt again."

 

 

He attached his left hand to the bandage that is still wrapped around her right wrist. The golden eyes of Siegfried were sad and despondent.

 

 

"Uh ... Uh, it's different. This is really true."

 

 

A loud noise suddenly plunged into my ears, and I turned to face forward. A big door of the dance hall was opened by two servants, music and noise were leaking from inside the hall. Siegfried's feet move toward the center of the breezy opening. The slow footsteps are probably for Aria. Inviting guests, who were making a fuss about themselves, started talking about Siegfried who was with Aria.

 

A voice that praises his appearance, a ridicule that he is a beast, a voice that laughs at the origin of Aria.

 

I think he has a good nose and has good ears. Perhaps even a mocking voice that does not reach Aria can be heard. I thought up and looked up, but he only smiled back.

 

 

"Let's dance."

 

 

At the center of the hall, I will be drawn in between the people who dance and I will be hugged. I was more conscious about being exposed to the public than being in close contact with his body. I try to focus on music but it doesn't work. Even with the steps that I would normally be able to do without difficulty, my legs will be caught without timing. I was hugged by the staggered place, and my foot was off the floor. Siegfried is spinning dexterously, with Aria's feet floating in the air.

 

I casually deviated from the center of the hall and was taken to the corner of the hall by the end of the song. I stick my back to the wall, which is a familiar special seat, and finally breathe. Thanks to Siegfried standing in front of her, curiosity does not reach Aria. I felt relieved about that.

 

 

"Shall we go outside to breath in fresh air?"

 

"eh?"

 

"I'm a little tired."

 

 

Siegfried pulled her out and escaped from the lively dance hall. We followed the deserted corridor to the garden, heading to the rose garden that we visited during the day. The rose garden, far from the hustle and bustle, was quiet. Since the evening party has just begun, it seems that no one is out. Sitting on a bench in an open space, I raise my face. Looking up, there was Siegfried with a beautiful smile. With many stars and the crescent moon in the background, his golden eyes are gently narrowed.

 

 

"Aria doesn't really like evening parties."

 

 

For a moment, my words were choked on my throat, and then I talked.

 

 

"Siegfried, sorry."

 

"Why apologize?"

 

"I'm a leftover."

 

 

I tried to talk all over before I could stop, and I continued to speak quickly.

 

 

"There is no one in this country who wants to swear me. Even though Mr. Siegfried was so cool to pick me up, I was laughed when I was next to you."

 

"That's not true. Aria is so cute."

 

"Siegfried is the third person to say that."

 

 

I take off the high-heeled shoes that do not fit my body and put barefoot feet on the ground. The coolness of moist soil is pleasant. I finally felt at ease, and I took off the stall and made a big stretch.

 

 

"As Siegfried says, I don't like evening parties."

 

 

It was not the case from the beginning. For Aria, who spends most of her time in the castle, evening parties are also the only opportunity to go out. At the beginning, I was looking forward to it. But gradually, I realized that I wasn't hoping to be there. This country is stuffy. Maybe it was even harder for my mother, who knew how to live a free life.

 

 

"I don't like to be rumored by long-distance winding, nor do I hate the dance that has taken over a rigid manner."

 

 

When I was little, my mother sometimes took me out of the castle. It was fun to imitate street performers with the people who do business in the castle plaza. My mother, who was a dancer on a trip, fluttered a beautiful cloth and smiled brightly only then.

 

 

"But I like being able to wear beautiful dresses, so I had a little fun today."

 

I extend the light pink shawl and spin around to imitate my mother.

 

"……That's beautiful."

 

 

Siegfried sitting on the bench squints and smiles. That social order is the second time today. But I laughed a little bit more honestly than I did at the beginning.

 

 

"Thank you."

 

 

Stepping on the moist soil in a step that only knows the shape, even if you do not know where it came from. Don't worry if the skirt fluctuates and you can see the legs. The "dangerous dance" that seduced her father was one of the few beautiful memories for Aria.

 

While turning around, I advanced my legs to the bench and stop in front of Siegfried. In a blindfold, the shawl that had been spread was wrapped around Siegfried's shoulder.

 

 

"My eyes are gray."

 

"I thought it was a color that I didn't really see. It's not normal in this country."

 

"My mother is from a foreign country---a far distant place. I got this color from my mother."

 

 

The mainstream eye color in this country is green or blue. The eyes that shine beautifully under the sun's rays are the conditions for being "beautiful." The dark, stagnant gray is shunned by itself.

 

 

"I'm a daughter of the King, but a mixed-race. I'm not so well thought of by others."

 

"It's different. Gray eyes are the goddess's color."

 

"Goddess ...?"

 

"Because it's so beautiful, everyone is jealous."

 

 

Suton. I heard something falling in my chest. I think it's very simple. But with that one word, Aria fell in love with one beautiful smile. For the first time in my life, I fell in love.

 

Tl: Well, that was quick. But nonetheless cute~
