(A/N: I know this is seriously an anti-climax but I'm not confident if I could describe their dancing style performance so I'm just going to skip the details, I'm leaving their dancing performance in your imagination.)

Both Chō and Kyle have finished their dancing performance, and the audience was cheering at them with excitement. They never expect them to perform that unbelievable performance they could never have predicted it, right now those moves they made are in their minds replying again and again.

It was an amazing performance that they wouldn't forget, Nobu who witnessed that couldn't help but say. "They did that? That was crazy, well what can I say as expected of him I guess?"

She smiled as thought about him, while Ayane was excited after seeing her master's performance. "Wow! As expected of the master, he could do anything!"

Ayane wanted to win that's for sure, but after seeing her master's performance she could accept her defeat after seeing 'that', she knew no...everyone knew that her master won after they did 'that'.

Kyōka had complicated emotions after the performance, she was excited seeing him do those unbelievable dancing moves with Chō, however she was depressed knowing that they are going to lose against them, they couldn't win after what they did, she sighs. "Here I thought that I could finally win against him but I guess not…"

She had a bitter smile on her face, the main reason why she wanted to win against him in this match was that she wanted him to recognize her, she wanted to win because only that, she would feel worthy to be on his side.

But in the end, she failed, she didn't win even though that score wasn't out yet, based on the reaction of the audience and the judges they would get a score surpassing theirs that's for sure, while she was depressed, little did she know that her mother was looking at her.

Ryōko then shifted her attention toward Kyle who was on the stage and mumbled, "I see, so that's the boy huh...fufu don't worry my daughter. Mother will help you!"

After a moment, the host finally spoke. "Splendid performance! I never thought I would see such an amazing thing today! Judges, it's time for you to give them a score!"

"Ahem- before I give my score I would like to say-"

"Just say the score already! Stop wasting time!"

"Wha-?! Who said that?! I dare you to come to face me!"

"It's me! So?!"

"YO- wait d-daughter?!"

"Yes papa, just give the score already!"

"Yes, yes of course papa will do it, ahem- I'll give it a 10!" Says the judge.

Everyone couldn't help but chuckle at this scene, it wasn't an everyday event that you can see a daughter scolding her father, then after that, the rest of the judges gave them a score of 10 currently their score was 90, there is still one judge that didn't a score yet, and it was Kyōka's mother. Ryōko before she gave her score, she stood up from her seat and spoke. "I feel it's a bit rude for me to just sit and give a score after seeing such a brilliant performance, so as a sign of respect I shall stand. 10 that's the score you get from me."

Hearing that everyone cheered that the winner of the event was them, however, Ryōko made a gesture that they should keep maintaining silence, not long after everyone's voice calmed down and everything was quiet, satisfied Ryōko continued. "But one of the pairs exceeded my expectations and that person is Kobayashi Kyle. It saddens me that I could only give you a 10 score and not more...that's why I will compensate you with another prize."

Everyone was suddenly curious to hear what is going to be the prize, listening to this Kyle suddenly had a bad premonition.

Ryōko added. "And that prize is...my daughter! I will arrange you both to a marriage~"

She smiled brightly as she said that. Kyōka's face suddenly turned bright red after she heard her mother's announcement, she shouted out of embarrassment. "Mom! What are you doing?!"

While she was embarrassed everyone was shouting out of extreme excitement, they had seen too many incredible scenes today, yet nothing beats this one currently. As girls, they like romance and drama so this scene was the best for them.

Chō couldn't help but be surprised and exclaimed. "Eh! That means Senpai and Kyōka-senpai are going to get married?!"

"What are you saying? I haven't even accepted her proposal!" Kyle refuted Chō.

"Then you're going to accept it?"

"No, I won't! Dating is one thing but getting an arranged marriage is way too fast." He replied.

Chō pondered and said. "So then you're not against dating Kyōka-senpai?"

"...Well perhaps, anyways stop asking such questions." If Kyōka were to hear this, she would jump out of happiness, however, it's just a shame that she couldn't as Kyle was in the middle of the stage, so it was unlikely that anyone could hear their conversation.

Nobu couldn't help but be amazed by Ryōko's cleverness! She thought. "She was just like her!"

She remembered a certain woman back in her time, Ryōko was similar to that woman in some way, even her appearance is similar except for her blonde hair. If it wasn't for that she would have believed that Ryōko is 'her'.

Ryōko stared at Kyle and spoke. "What do you think young man? Do you accept my proposal?"

Everyone's attention was currently on Kyle. Kyōka looked at him with an expectant expression. The host gave him a mic so that everyone could hear his answer.

"Ma'am, you can't just propose a random marriage arrangement like that. It's like you just sold off your daughter to me, you know?"

"Ara~ ara, It wasn't random you know? I wouldn't propose this if my daughter doesn't have any affection with you isn't that right my daughter?" Ryōko looked at Kyōka with a smile.

Kyōka blushed after seeing her mother smile, that reaction is already solid proof that she didn't mind at all, Ryōko shifted her attention back toward Kyle and said, "There you have it, she doesn't mind."

Kyle couldn't help but smile bitterly, this woman was too straight! But he already had his answer. "Your proposal is indeed tempting, but I have to say I'm sorry. I have to refuse directly getting engaged without dating. It doesn't seem right to me."

Then he continued the sentence in his mind. 'Though Esdeath was an exception.'

Instead of being disappointed and giving up, Ryōko nodded and replied. "I understand. I truly do so instead of directly getting engaged. You two shall start dating first! Eventually, you'll get engaged soon."

"Ha?"
