Chapter 171 A Dream I Don’t Want to Awaken
"Are you still dancing? It's been a long time. I didn't expect you still like dancing. It's really surprising."

"Huh? Alan, are you tired?"

Alan bowed his head.

Alice looked up.

Dark grey pupils met red eyes.

The pace never stopped.

Red hair.

Rise and fall.

It kept sweeping across Allen's face. Unlike Sylphy's soft hair, this hair was very elastic and had a naturally curly shape.

As he took a step, he could smell the scent of toiletries that Boreas liked very much, which was similar to the scent of musk.

In the red eyes.

The light has dimmed.

But Alan's slightly helpless expression is still clearly visible.

"It's almost dark. It's okay in winter, but it's summer and the etiquette class is almost over."

"Alice."

In the banquet hall, the afterglow of the setting sun had slipped away through the skylight, and the glow of the sunset had disappeared from sight.

The darkness rose up like the steam in the bathroom, like a veil, like morning mist.

The vision will be blurred.

among them.

Alice's hair has turned into a dark, yet gorgeous burgundy color.

Children have some abilities in certain areas that are close to innate intuition, and this is particularly evident in "intuitive" players like Alice.

What ability?
——How to test adults’ bottom line.

Of course, it has to be an 'adult' she recognizes. If it's someone like Rudy, there's no need to test him.

So where is Allen's bottom line?

Combining the "tests" over the past six months, Alice couldn't come up with a systematic conclusion, but based on the specific expressions, she could draw the following conclusions.

When I make a request, if Alan agrees with a relaxed expression and a cheerful tone - then I can continue to make my request without worrying that he will refuse tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Alan doesn't get bored.

When I made a request, if Allen frowned and refused immediately - as long as I made a request, he would refuse verbally, but he would agree to my request. When I asked again later, Allen would still refuse.

But Alice-nyan☆ is still useful!

then
When I made a request, if Allen showed a thoughtful expression, a helpless expression, and shook his head, no matter how I asked, no matter how hard I tried.

Allen would refuse.

In this case, stop the request immediately.

Only then will Alan smile and praise himself again.

So now it is.
Alice blinked and braked her eyes.

The flying hair suddenly swung due to inertia and fell on her back, bouncing up and down in a very fluffy manner.

Alan had already taken a step in the air, but after Alice landed, she controlled her body with extremely coordinated core strength and planted her foot firmly on the ground.

He looked down at Alice.

really.

Alan just shook his head helplessly, and then smiled.

"Alice dances very well~"

Alice raised the corner of her mouth when she saw this.

"Ok!"

She turned around and looked at Hilda, starting to take credit.

Their steps are as light as dancing steps and their eyes are bright.

"Mother! Is Alice dancing better now?"

Then his expression suddenly changed.

".mother."

"Mother?"

Alan, who was beside her, raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Just now he had been using the secret technique of flow to help Alice control her posture. Now he broke free from the dancing state and the two of them stopped.

A feeling of disharmony came from the flow of sensations.

It's so quiet.

The last ray of setting sun on the skylight seemed to be blown away by the wind and extinguished.

The sound and darkness suddenly descended upon the few people.

Alan glanced sideways, not as usual, to look at Sylphy first, or to see what Rudy was up to, but directly at Hilda.

Her face, caressed by darkness, was covered with a veil.

Can't see clearly.

But Alan could feel that she was looking at him.

He did not follow Alice's question and focus his attention on his daughter.

Alice was surprised because this was the first time that Hilda didn't look at her in return when she called her.

Time seemed to have stood still.

It seemed like a moment had passed, but it also seemed like a long time had passed.

The voice with a hint of hoarseness passed by Alan's ear.

Break the silence.

"it's dark"

"Some of you can't see your faces clearly."

"Alice dances very well. Are you happy dancing with Alan?"

Alice blinked and saw Hilda's figure in the darkness turning back towards her. The strange intuition that had just arisen in her mind, as if something 'big' had happened, disappeared. She smiled again and took two steps to throw herself into Hilda's arms.

"Happy! Mother."

"."

"That's good."

"It's getting dark, let's go out first."

"it is good!"

Alice grabbed Hilda's hand and tried to do it, but she felt resistance in her hand.

Before she could turn her head, she heard Hilda's voice.

"I'm going to stay until the end to lock the door. I've been here for quite a while. I wonder if Li'er and the others are still guarding outside."

"Oh! Go back to the classroom!"

Alice turned around and led the way quickly. Rudy and Gileno behind Hilda turned around naturally and walked towards the gate.

Sylphy's figure seemed to hesitate for a moment, and her face hidden in the darkness raised her head to look at Alan, then turned to look at Hilda and turned around.

Alan followed.

When passing by Hilda.

He did not turn his head suddenly to look at Hilda, but walked past her naturally.

Everyone moved toward the door with disorderly footsteps.

The heels of the high-heeled shoes behind me finally hit the ground, making a "dong dong" sound.

Step on the heartbeat.

Even in the dark, I couldn't see Hilda's expression since the dance ended just now.

Alan still felt it.

"Watch".

Never stopped.

-

The head maid, Li'er, had already left, leaving several maids standing outside the door.

So naturally there was no need for Hilda to lock the door herself.

They walked through the courtyard that was shrouded in darkness and returned to the mansion.

As soon as they stepped into the corridor, the light shone on everyone's faces again, dispelling the veil of darkness.

Alan looked at Gileno, Rudy, and Alice who were walking in front of him, and listened to everyone's heartbeats as usual.

Take a step.

Catching up with Sylphy's pace and tilting his head to look at her - when passing through the atrium, Allen noticed that Sylphy had been hunching her head.

At this moment, the white-haired girl lowered her head and looked at her toes, wondering what she was thinking about.

"what happened?"

Sylphy tilted her head to glance at Allen, her face a bit confused and hesitant. She opened her mouth slightly, her eyes shifted back for a moment, and finally said just one sentence.

"It's okay."

Alan was slightly stunned, but didn't say anything. He looked up in front of him.

The classroom was very close to the gate of the mansion. As soon as these two sentences were spoken, the open classroom door was already in front of him.

The lights in the classroom had been lit in advance, and the bright light was creeping around the door frame.
Very bright and very warm.

Let people
Subconsciously I want to step into it.
