"What, do I scare you that much, Yunyi?" Miyuki Shiba said, somewhat annoyed by Yunyi's reaction.
"Ah, that's not it. It's just that if I go dancing with you, are you sure your brother won't cause me trouble?" Yunyi asked, looking at the brother and sister.
"Tell me, what exactly is the reason you have such thoughts?" Tatsuya Shiba was truly speechless at Yunyi's attitude. He was indeed his younger sister's protector, but he wouldn't forbid her from having normal social interactions!
" Yunyi, this is just an invitation from a friend. Are you going to refuse?" Miyuki Shiba asked again.
Hearing her say that, Yunyi couldn't refuse. He raised his hand and extended it to Miyuki Shiba, saying, "Then, the beautiful Miss Miyuki Shiba, let's dance together."
" Yunyi, really, you should leave that to President Saegusa." Miyuki Shiba muttered a little, but still placed her hand on Yunyi's palm.
"Well then, brother, let's go dance." Miyuki Shiba greeted Tatsuya Shiba, and after he nodded in acknowledgment, she and Yunyi stepped onto the dance floor.
The two began to dance at a pause in the faint rhythm, blending into the surrounding crowd.
But just then, Yunyi asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "What do you want to tell me?"
"Why would Yunyi ask that?" Miyuki Shiba asked in confusion.
"I don't think we're that close. You shouldn't be the one to come and ask me to dance, right?" Yunyi said.
"So, Yunyi does have this understanding. But I'm sorry, I didn't come here to say anything to you, I just wanted to express my gratitude. Thank you for what you said to me back then. Those words might have been very important inspirations for my brother and me," said Miyuki Shiba.
"Aren't you afraid I'm just saying those things to watch the show again?" Yunyi teased Miyuki Shiba.
"It doesn't matter."
However, Miyuki Shiba gently shook her head and said, "Even if Yunyi wants to watch the show, those words are indeed very enlightening for us. So, this time I don't mind letting Yunyi agree to be a spectator and watch the show."
"Haha~" Yunyi chuckled lightly, "It seems you're more interesting than I thought. But young lady, even with this hint, your and your brother's future won't be so peaceful. Of course, you can take this as alarmist. But I still hope you can help pass on a message to your brother: don't underestimate that woman's methods."
"That woman?" Miyuki Shiba asked in confusion.
"Your Majesty, the Queen."
Upon hearing Yunyi's words, Miyuki Shiba's dance steps faltered. Yunyi's arm around Miyuki Shiba's waist tightened slightly, straightening her body.
Watch your step.
"Thanks."
The conversation between the two ended there. Miyuki Shiba didn't know why Yunyi would bring up that person at this time, but she felt that Yunyi must have his reasons. Tell her brother? She would naturally tell her brother what he said. However, she was also very concerned about that person's methods. Hadn't she and her brother been enduring those methods all along?
The dance ended quickly, and the two walked off the dance floor together. Yunyi didn't go with Miyuki Shiba to find Tatsuya Shiba; it was almost time for the last dance, and he didn't want to be a third wheel for the siblings. Besides, he still had to find that fairy.
"Ara- Yunyi-kun, how was it dancing with Miyuki -senpai?"
Just then, Mayumi Saegusa's voice suddenly rang out behind him.
Yunyi rolled her eyes and turned to look at her. "Why aren't you hiding anymore?"
"I'm not hiding, I've just done some preparation. But, let's dance one last dance of the night, shall we?" Mayumi Saegusa a smile.
Seeing the expectation in Mayumi Saegusa's eyes, Yunyi naturally wouldn't refuse. He took Mayumi Saegusa's hand, and the two stepped onto the dance floor together.
Not long after, Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba also walked in. The four of them smiled at each other and began to dance to the music.
" Yunyi-kun, did you have fun tonight?" Just as the dance music was about to end, Mayumi Saegusa suddenly asked a question.
"It's alright? I don't really like these kinds of occasions. But no one invited me tonight, so I'm enjoying the relaxed atmosphere," Yunyi replied.
"Hmph~" Mayumi Saegusa snorted softly, without replying.
When the music ended, it meant the party was over. Except for those who wanted to chat a little longer, everyone else gradually left the hall.
On their way back to their room, Yunyi and Mayumi Saegusa passed by the room where Mayumi Saegusa was supposed to stay and happened to run into Mari Watanabe, who was about to leave.
Watching the two walking hand in hand, she said to Mayumi Saegusa hint of annoyance, "You, it seems you haven't been back all night, have you?"
"Hehe, I'm sorry, Mari. I'll go out with you alone next time." Mayumi Saegusa clasped her hands together, striking a flattering pose.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and go." Mari Watanabe dismissed the two of them impatiently and headed towards Suzune Ichihara's room.
"Why does Chairwoman Watanabe look a little pitiful?" Yunyi asked, watching Mari Watanabe's departing figure with a puzzled expression.
"Whose fault do you think this is?" Mayumi Saegusa asked irritably.
"Who else could it be but you?" Yunyi didn't mince words, directly pinning the blame on Mayumi Saegusa's head.
The little fairy instantly transformed into a pufferfish, angrily pinching Yunyi's arm, but showed no intention of going to accompany Mari Watanabe.
As soon as the two returned to their room, Mayumi Saegusa grabbed something and hid in the bathroom. Yunyi found this rather strange; what was this girl up to now?
A moment later, Mayumi Saegusa, having changed her clothes, came out. When Yunyi saw what she was wearing, he was filled with questions.
Where did you get these clothes?
Seeing Yunyi's expression, Mayumi Saegusa said irritably, "I just thought you might like it, so I borrowed it from the hotel. What do you think, is it nice?"
Seeing Mayumi Saegusa twirling the hem of her skirt and showing it to him, Yunyi couldn't help but laugh. He didn't know why Mayumi Saegusa had such a guess, but he had to admit that he had indeed had the same thought at first.
"It's very cute, and it suits you quite well. How about I get you a set when we get home?" Yunyi asked with a smile.
"Don't even think about it! This is just a limited-time experience for tonight. So, Yunyi-kun, come and hug your personal little maid!"
