114 Ch. 114 Eclipse (1/2)

Niken and Kazuto came down the mountain right after sunset. They both entered a village that was now full of decorations of the festival atmosphere and lantern lighted on every street corner.

There were various kinds of stalls selling different types of tasty snacks. Niken's eyes lit up at the pink cotton candy stall, and without hesitation, she expressed her desire to eat the cotton candy.

Kazuto bought her the pink cotton candy without question, making Niken squeaked happily. Next, they walked into the crowd, who were looking at an attraction.

A group of adventurers performed an acrobat attraction by showing off their martial arts skills using a sword.

Clang! Clang!

The sound of swords clanking each other was heard, followed by the admiration of the audience. The two individuals who wielded a sword in their right hands looked like two people fighting a great conflict. Miraculously, they did not look like they were enemies; on the contrary, they both seemed to be dancing beautifully.

Their sword dance was unique with agile movements as if to attack at the same time looks elegant.

Niken had never seen a sword dance before, but undoubtedly, this was one of the most beautiful dances she had ever seen.

Niken glanced at the man next to her, remembering that the black knight's primary weapon was the black sword. Is it possible that Kazuto could also dance to the sword? Ah, she really wants to see it.

”I can't dance.” A firm answer came out of the man's mouth, making Niken dumbfounded.

How did the man know what he was thinking?

”The eclipse hasn't happened yet, so our minds are still connected. I can hear whatever you think.”

A red tinge adorned Niken's face, feeling helpless. She forgot this simple fact.

The mind between the knights and their inamorata would be connected per both parties' agreement after their fusion has taken place entirely.

Edward and Scarlet were the same. They could communicate with each other through their minds if they wanted. But they preferred to speak out so they could enjoy each other's voices.

Boom!

The sound of an explosion from unexpected fireworks was heard, making all eyes turned to the eruption. A variety of beautiful colors appeared in the dark sky, accompanied by cheerful local music.

”Wow,” Niken kept clicking in admiration while enjoying the view of the sky.

Previously in her orphanage, she had played fireworks, but not as excited and impressive as this.

Kazuto smiled contentedly at the expression of his inamorata's happiness. He circled his hands at Niken's waist to close their bodies. After all, they were in the middle of a crowdedness. Kazuto did not want them to separate in the middle of this sea of ​​people.

That's why, before that happens, he would make sure they don't separate.

Just as the music stopped indicating the sword dance had ended, a large black circle appeared blocking the moon that had just shone brightly.

An eclipse has occurred!

Kazuto felt a little dizzy once the moon no longer appeared. He tightened his grip on Niken's waist to ensure that his inamorata was still with him.
