Chapter 173
Unexpected Sight
Everyone lowers their heads naturally .
Of course, I also lowered my head according to the surroundings .
Princess Elle and Ed, with Mr . Wang . . . apparently the king and the first Prince seem to be absent this time .
Then, following Ed, Yuri appeared by his hand .
Looking at that sight, "Why are you there!" I was screaming in my head . . I raised my head by the surprise .
Yuri is Ed's fiance . . . Yet she is still a fiance .
Although in the future she will be a part of the royal family as his wife, as long as she is not married, it is impossible for them to appear together from the back as royalty at these official events .
If I borrowed a word from my mother, "Before and after the marriage are two things . "
Princess Elle has also been in the position of a fiance for many years, so she should know better than any other the manners and conduct as a fiance, we naturally know it as noblemen but she had the royalty course . She must know what they are doing is not something allowed .
Still . . . Yuri grabbed Princess Elle heart as much as she allowed her to appear together .
More than anything, Yuri grabbed the hearts of all the nobility .
. . . Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Princess Elle to let her appear together .
. . . . . . I do not know how inside the royal court it would work what she did but if I think she is capable enough to establish a position in society so that she can force her way into the royal family and appear here like this, my spine is frozen only to have thought about it . . . I really wish this is not something premeditated .
Her dress is an ivory color with a large ribbon on the chest . Likewise, the ribbon was also attached to the arm, and a delicate bow was wrapped many times around the skirt .

The dress she was wearing was to bring out her cuteness, but now it seemed that a sparkle of royalty was added there .
The royal people sat on their dedicated luxurious chair .
And again, the musicians begin playing .
Then, the children who social debut is today appeared one after another . The customs for the debut is different according to the country, and the form of such entries differ completely .
In Tasmeria country, children who make their debut during the day greet each other during the party and not at the door, or before the party starts .
And in the evening, they will show off to the many members of the aristocracy in this way .
They appear, the boys have the right hand on the chest, and the girls have flowers in the head .
It is a light pink flower like I have seen in Japan .
I do not know if the flower language still remains the same, but Sakura's flower language is "proud" . . . I wonder if it is proud from the meaning of nobility .
In addition, the girls wore a simple white dress and the boys wore a black standard suit .
The boys line up in the center of the hall while escorting the girls that are their partners .
. . . and they started dancing .
When they finish dancing, the people watching start to applaud .
. . . From this point on, it's a normal ball . I also danced with Bern and several others, and with the people who I know are in the neutral faction .
After dancing several songs, I return to the wall again for a break .
With champagne in hand, I was looking at the scene of the ball .
Bern, who came back at the same time, stands next to me .
Suddenly Ed and Yuri appeared in sight . Apparently, they seem to have been dancing .
They danced many songs without changing partners .
Near them, a couple composed of Mimosa and Dan is also dancing .

I was fascinated by her dancing while also feeling loneliness as my friend Mimosa will go far away .
"…Sister"
I was brought back to earth thanks to Bern that called me from the side and I turned to see him .
What happened to his hard usual tone of voice? I thought about asking, but as soon as I saw his line of sight I understood it .
As the song changed, Yuri and Ed somehow were getting closer .
I did not want to came in contact with them, I looked around to see if there was someone I could go to talk to, but my close friends were happy dancing and were also nearby anyway so I would have bumped into Ed and Yuri even if I went there .
Meanwhile, she seems to have aimed the perfect time to came for me, she is approaching straight to us while smiling and looking at my eyes .
In that situation, I will not be able to escape even if I started talking to other people .
I gave up, took a deep breath and stared at her straight .
Yuri and Ed are now very close and they seemed to pay attention to our every action .
"Long time no see, Iris, Bern"
"Oh, it's Ms . Yuri"
To her who smiled, I also return the greetings with a smile .
Bern was quietly bending sideway .
"I am listening to your story Iris from various people . "
" Well, I'm doing my best at work . "
" Oh yes, this time the escort is also Bern, but . . Bern please do communicate with other people . It's bad if you're always with your sister . "
"Well . . . well . . . I appreciate your comments . . . Ms . Yuri you're only focusing on philanthropy, You're the fiance of Prince Edward, it was a dignified entrance a while ago . "
"I will be more confident in myself if you tell me so, Iris, it's a nice dress today, is it also a new work?"
"Thank you, it is a privilege for me that Ms . Yuri compliments it, this is a new work of Azuta Corporation and Madam Crejour"
"Well . . . . . . . I would like to wear such a dress, it would suit me . . . I would have been dressed perfectly if that was possible . "
"Such a thing . . . Your design complements better Ms . Yuri's cuteness"
" . . . Yuri . . It is almost time . . . "
As he interrupts our conversation, Ed speaks to her .
For a moment my eyes met those of Ed, but as if he saw something dirty, he gazed at my face and gazed at her eyes .
. . . . . . I do not feel anything more than being strangely caught in a situation I don't understand like the previous time .
"Oh, I will have to excuse myself"
Yuri left with him .
"Fuu . . . Finally free from those lunatics . . . . "
Fatigue has got to me and I unexpectedly leaked a sigh .
"Do you want to drink something?"
"No, thank you . Bern"
Thanks to Bern's words, I took the resolve to ignore all fatigue to accomplish my purpose .
Suddenly, someone familiar to me was visible some distance from us .
" . . . . . . . It's been a long time, Rudy"
"It's been a long time, Iris, Bern"
It was our cousin Rudy Jeremy Anderson who was there .
"It is unusual, you usually do not appear in such a place because you have a job"
"From my house, I was told that I should definitely come here"
"Oh Dear…"
He said those words and laughter came up .
"Do you want to go to the corner to rest, we can talk over there slowly or do you still want to be around here?"
"No, it's okay . Let's go where you mentioned . "
And the three of us went out to the balcony a little further away .

The Simulacrum
"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." --- Friedrich Nietzsche (probably?) How would you react if one day you woke up inside an environment running on tropes and clichés? For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this question became quite relevant when one day he woke up in a pristine city on a strange island in the middle of the Atlantic, without any memories, surrounded by classmates who are barely more than characterless placeholders, and with a classic indecisive harem protagonist and his impossibly beautiful love interests for friends. That would be hard to deal with already, yet his investigation into the tropes governing the world, trying to avoid harem shenanigans, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes ends up dragging him into the center of the action anyway. Disclaimer: This is a tongue-in-cheek, slice of life romantic comedy, with occasional sprinkles of combat and mystery to spice things up. Please do not expect a straight up deconstruction beyond some in-universe meta-commentary by the characters.

RANK
Alpha of the Darks, Vince, imprints on Nya but keeps it a secret.ExcerptVince was resting in bed running the day's events through his mind when his heightened sense of hearing was alerted to the sound of ruffling sheets. Little feet hit the ground telling him it was a female and the odd placement of footsteps lets him know it wasn't Malina. He rises and when he widens his bedroom door Nya's scent flooded through his nostrils. He clears his throat instinctively and follows the smell into the hall. There he finds her coming straight towards him. He was surprised she was up this soon. She should have been out until the morning at least. Her foot was healed and her clothes were changed from earlier. She was now wearing a fitted cotton t-shirt, soft plaid shorts, and her hair was tied up in a messy bun. "What are you doing?" He folds his arms and angles his brows. She keeps her same pace beelined to him.Never, has he ever had the thought of taking a step back when being approached; until now that is. He hesitated. He firmly refused to let anything make him back down. This was his house, his rules, and she had no power over him. His focus inadvertently fell to her breast that lacked cover from a bra, and then to her smooth thighs, and like he has absolutely no control, to her toned calves. She was a foot away when the moon's glow from the skylight illuminated her face. His heart skipped a beat. It had never done that before. Then his train of thought went right off the tracks. He didn't realize how thick her lashes were, or how perfectly red her lips were stained. Where earlier she was pale, she now had a flushed pink color. The darkness from under her eyes was gone and her cheeks were slightly fuller too.He blinks away his unwanted thoughts when she stops inches from him.With a neutral gaze, an expressionless expression almost, she makes a sudden turn and goes around him. "What the f**k?" She was sleepwalking he registered.
