Chapter 324 Neon (1/2)
Reiko walked out to the same place where Neon danced.
“I am Reiko. I hope this helps ease everyone’s boredom.”
Performing a beautiful curtsey, she started dancing.
“…This is…!”
“Eh…!”
Reiko’s dance wasn’t that different from Neon’s.
In fact, the feeling was stronger and, on top of that, the movements were much smoother.
Moreover, she started singing while dancing, as well. As expected, the melody was same as the one Neon was singing.
“Spring passes by in an instant~ Summer leaves, leaving its footprints~ Autumn quitely goes by~ And winter comes running fast~”
Her lyrics even had meaning behind them.
“The land watches man’s activity as always~ The water just flows by~ The flames shine, warm and burn~ The wind blows by all things~”
Everyone’s gaze was fixated on Reiko.
And then, the dancing and singing came to an end.
“Thank you for watching.”
Again, she did a curtsey and paid her respects.
And silently returned to Jin. Everyone was still silent.
“Father, how was it?”
That question made Jin came back to his senses.
“Ah, it was wonderful, Reiko. As expected of you.”
He said while stroking her head and Reiko just smiled sweetly.
“A… amazing!”
Belche, who had finally came back to her sense, shouted.
“Reiko-chan, well done!”
Reinhart said.
Matheus followed up saying,
“Hats off!”
Even the waitresses of the hotel applauded.
“That was amazing, Rayko-chan! When did you learn it?”
Belche asked excitedly.
“Neon-san showed me the example, so.”
Reiko answered nonchalantly.
“Eh?”
“…Just by seeing it once?”
Everyone was surprised but Reiko could even memorize a part of a high level magic by seeing or trying it once.
“See? I told you, right, Belche? Reiko-chan is an amazing automata!”
Reinhart boasted as if he was speaking of himself.
“Thank you very much. But everything is thanks to father, who made me.”
With that one sentence, Belche was even more impressed.
“Wonderful! Exactly like a human–no, exactly like a girl! Jin-sama, please be friends with Reinhart-sama forever.”
“Yes, of course.”
Jin also answered with a smile.
The fancy party ended and everyone went back to their rooms.
Jin had thought Reinhart and Belche would have the same room but then he remembered the conversation,
“Are we in the same room today?”
“N-n-n-no way I am doing something so shameful!!”
And so, Belche had denied with a flushed face.
“Now then, I guess I will go to the village tomorrow. Tonight, I will just rest.”
“Yes, father.”
“You did really great today, Reiko. I am really proud.”
Jin said, stroking her heard. Reiko had a happy smile on her face.
