Chapter 867: The Flower Dancing in the Skies ⑤ (1/2)

After a while, we came back to the deserted park where I first met Ariel-san. If we're going to do as Ariel-san says, we'll be dancing from now on…… and even after all this time, I'm still wondering. What should I do?

Even though Ariel-san said that she will be leading me, my dancing experience is limited to the few ballroom dances with Lilia-san…… Moreover, I'm being completely led by Lilia-san.

Adding up to that, the way Ariel-san was dressed, I had a feeling that even if we're also dancing, I feel like it would be different from ballroom dancing, but in that case, I was completely helpless.

[No need to be nervous…… In other words, you don't have to be so uptight. No spectators…… In other words, no one else will be able to see you because I've put up a barrier.]

[E- Even if you say that, I'm really inexperienced…… so I'm not sure if I can dance well.]

[You don't need to…… In other words, you don't have to dance well, nor do you not have to try to dance well.]

[Eh?]

[They aren't important…… In other words, it is not necessary to dance well or beautifully. What's best is to have fun…… In other words, I think what's most important in dancing is to have fun. What's important is the heart…… In other words, you don't need to have music, nor do you need to know the steps. Delineation is unneeded…… In other words, you don't need to precisely portray the dance, nor do you have to think about any meaning. Conclusion…… In other words, if you move your body along with a heart filled with fun, it would already be a great dance.]

The smile on Ariel-san's face as she said that was very gentle, and I could tell that she really liked dancing herself.

At the same time, I could feel that she wanted me to enjoy it as well, and I felt my shoulders naturally relax.

Seeing this, Ariel-san nodded and standing in front of me, she gently took both of my hands and lightly pulled me close.

When I took a step forward due to my body being pulled, Ariel-san also stepped forward, and our bodies intersect with each other.

It feels rather strange. Ariel-san didn't tell me to move like this or take that step, but she pulled my hand, stepped towards me, and moved her gaze to guide my eyes…… How should I say this…… My body's movements naturally became like a dance.

Even though she shouldn't have said a word, I feel as I'm being led, which probably means that Ariel-san had the skills to achieve such a feat…… At the same, I felt that if I used Sympathy Magic, I would be able to match Ariel-san's movements better, so I consciously used Sympathy Magic.

Thereupon, after Ariel-san raised an eyebrow, she smiled and her body moved faster.

And at the same time, the feeling of being guided became stronger than before, or perhaps, I was able to naturally understand how I should move next.

W- Whoa, how should I say this…… This is quite fun. Before I knew it, Ariel-san let go of my hand, but I could still clearly feel how I should dance.

Ariel-san gradually sped up her dance movements, and my body movements naturally became faster as well. From the initial relaxed feeling, before I knew it, I could feel that I was moving quite a bit.

I felt tired, or rather, my breathing became a little uneven due to the intense movements, but strangely enough, it also felt uncomfortable. It's like my body is getting hotter from the inside…… If I had to describe it, I'd say I was ”getting into it”.
