Chapter 92.1

Raynard snapped his fingers, counted in his mind, and began to skillfully lead Yurina along. Everything was going more naturally than she expected, so Yurina relaxed a bit.

But her happiness didn’t last long. At some point, Reynard’s gaze, which had been smiling at Yurina’s face, slowly moved downward, and when Yurina turned and walked towards him again, his feet landed on Yurina’s.

Along with the heavy weight, Yurina felt a dull ache in her foot. Raynard reacted before Yurina could say anything.

He knelt down and rubbed her foot. The white light emanating from his hand gently wrapped around Yurina’s legs, and then the pain disappeared. The white light from his hand wrapped her softly, and soon the pain disappeared.

Reynard looked up at Yurina and smiled awkwardly.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes.

“Then shall we continue? I won’t really step on you this time.”

Yurina looked at him with suspicion in her eyes and put her hand on his palm again.

‘It can’t be helped.’

At the party in honor of his knighthood, Reynard would have to dance at least one song with his partner Yurina. As the main character of the party, he couldn’t avoid it, because he was supposedly tired or not feeling well.

It would be better for both of them if he stepped on Yurina’s feet now than he stumbled and embarrassed himself in front of many people in the ruler’s palace.

However, despite the boastful words, he stepped on Yurina’s feet again soon after.

“I’m really sorry. Are you okay?”

And again.

“I think I stepped on it a little too hard this time, doesn’t it hurt a lot?”

And again.

“This time, I really won’t step.”

And for the third time.

“…”

And in the fourth.

Including the first step, there were five misses in total. It’s amazing to think, but it all happened before the end of one song.

In the next moment, Raynard looked at Yurina’s feet and kept his mouth shut as if he had nothing more to say. Yurina lightly shook her legs as if to show her readiness.

“It’s okay, let’s continue.”

“It’s not okay.”

“But you can’t quit right now.”

“Wouldn’t it be better if we didn’t dance that day?”

“Of course not.”

He grunted in displeasure and looked alternately at her legs and then into Yurina’s eyes. After standing like that for a while, he walked over to Yurina and grabbed her waist with both hands. Then he easily lifted her up and set her on his feet.

“Let’s do this. It will make it easier for me to learn.”

“It will be hard for you. Just go back to how it was.”

When Yurina tried to get off his feet, Raynard wrapped his arms around her waist. Yurina reflexively wrapped her arms around his neck.

“It’s better to practice like this.”

“What?”

Yurina slapped his arm. However, he didn’t move.

‘It can’t be helped.’

Instead of coaxing him, Yurina lifted her right leg and took off her shoe. Then she took off her left shoe and threw it away too.

“Isn’t it better like this?”

“Yes, you’re right.”

Raynard pressed his forehead against Yurina’s. When he kissed Yurina on the lips, the piano played without any help.

“I suspected this for a long time. Looks like you’re wasting your magic on all sorts of stupid things. That’s not why I sent you to the academy.”

Despite the displeasure in Yurina’s voice, he didn’t care.

“I’d rather use it for stupid things than for anything else. As for example, protection from another attack.”

Reynard began to move slowly to the sound of the piano. Suddenly, Yurina felt him begin to slouch, hugged his neck tighter and pressed her whole body against him.

“If there is no need to resort to self-defense, this is a good thing. So I say that any other magic is better than this.”

Raynard laughed out loud. Yurina laughed at him.

For a while, only a slow melody and the laughter of two people sounded in the small hall.
