Funinna, please let me steal your heart!

Chiori took a breath and said, "Be quiet."

"But it always feels so itchy."

"Bear it."

She then fell silent. Luna felt a slight itch occasionally flash across her lower back, and suddenly remembered something.

"Chiki".

"What now?" Chiori sighed.

"You said before that since we're all women, we can't kiss on the cheek."

Chiori casually remarked, "To be precise, it was because your performance back then was disgusting that it didn't work. Of course, it's the same now. Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

Luna chuckled, "But Navia allowed me to kiss her, and she kissed my cheek too."

Qianzhi's movements faltered.

And Navia?

She fastened the straps without much reaction, then placed her hands on Luna's shoulders and looked at her reflection in the mirror.

"turn around."

Luna turned around, and Chiori continued to check the reflection in the mirror.

"Good." She nodded in satisfaction.

"Chiori, are you listening?"

"Yes. But so what? Don't tell me those gossip news stories that say you eloped. It's too much trouble for me to make two wedding dresses at once."

Luna exclaimed in surprise, "It was just a kiss on the cheek, how did you jump to marriage? That doesn't seem possible at all."

"Really? So you're trying to show off?" Chiori asked, arms crossed.

I thought Chiori would have some interesting reaction when she heard about this.

Is that all?

"Your reaction is too bland," Luna said, dissatisfied.

“If you weren’t expecting me to show the expression you’re hoping for, I might have acted a little more surprised. Besides, you said it was just a kiss on the cheek, it’s not a big deal.”

Luna then asked, "May I kiss your cheek?"

"No."

"Didn't you say it wasn't a big deal?"

Chiori was too lazy to make excuses: "No means no."

"Stingy, well—"

People tend to compromise. If a kiss on the cheek isn't enough, then make an even more outrageous request, and then settle for something less.

Luna asked with interest, "And what about a real kiss?"

Are you interested in that kind of thing?

"No."

"Then why do you always have to ask that?"

"Need a reason?"

Chiori took a deep breath.

Endure...it's impossible for her to endure. Endurance is her worst skill, especially when it comes to matters of personal feeling.

"If you say that again, I'll..."

"At once?"

Chiori gave a dangerous smile: "Don't blame me for being impolite."

"How about a hug?"

"You can go and hug it."

Chiori pointed to the mannequin. The mannequin stared at Luna with empty eyes.

If you actually did that, you'd be a complete weirdo.

"I like things that are warm."

"Then let's carry the stove."

Chiori had no intention of continuing her banter with Luna; instead, she turned her towards the mirror.

"Remember to wear this to the banquet. That way, even if I don't have to say anything, it will still have a promotional effect," she said with satisfaction.

Luna said helplessly, "So that's what you were planning, using me as a mobile advertisement, right?"

"Yes, because everyone will see your beauty at a glance. Nothing is more effective as advertising."

Absolutely outstanding.

Luna blushed slightly: "Since you think it's wrong for women to be intimate, then don't keep saying such truths."

"I can say whatever I want; you're the one who needs to be more careful."

"Me?" Luna turned her head, puzzled. "What's wrong with me?"

Chiori turned her head back and combed her hair with her hands, as if to make sure she looked her best in the mirror.

"If you keep saying those things, be careful that you might get burned."

how could be?

37: Inazuma the Loser and Fontaine the Heiress Who Fell From the Sky

Another week passed. That night, the banquet was held as scheduled.

Just as Luna knew, a group of wealthy, famous and aristocratic people were in a spacious room, holding wine glasses and walking around talking to each other.

Despite the abundance of exquisite pastries on the table, they hardly ate any of them.

Of course, it's not that you can't eat it, but you have to do it "elegantly".

You can't eat too much at once, you have to chew slowly and carefully, and you can't just focus on eating... In short, there are many unwritten rules.

To enjoy your meal to the fullest in this kind of environment, you need to be incredibly thick-skinned.

Luna had no appetite to begin with, and she thought Navia's macarons were much tastier than these desserts, so she only tasted a few and then stopped.

Besides, she didn't have the spare energy to even consider it.

"Miss Luna, your performance was absolutely wonderful."

"Your posture during the trial was even more captivating. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm from... family. Would you be interested in having dinner together sometime?"

Once you gain fame, people will naturally try to curry favor with you for their own benefit.

Many nobles saw her potential value and were eager to have their sons win her favor.

A daughter is fine too.

Dealing with these people calmly wasn't difficult, but the lack of any information about the treasure was truly frustrating for Luna.

How come these guys are all so poor? Don't they even have a single treasure that the system would consider?

"Lulu!"

Fortunately, just when she was feeling bored, a familiar voice came from nearby.

Following the sound, a beautiful white figure was walking briskly towards them, lifting her skirt.

With her dazzling blonde hair, elegant makeup, and captivating smile, who else could it be but Navia?

Of course, Chiori was behind her.

However, Chiori was wearing her usual clothes. What happened to the rule of wearing the right clothes for the right occasion?

Regardless, their appearance swept away Luna's gloom.

"Navia, Chiori, you've finally arrived."

"Sorry, sorry, I was a little delayed, but I arrived just in time, right?" Navia walked up to Luna and took her hands in hers.

They held hands right away?

Navia smiled back at the others: "Everyone, please wait a moment. We've already made a reservation to go with Lulu."

"Okay, okay..."

"The three of you have such a good relationship..."

To survive in high society, one must at least be able to read the room.

The bystanders had already dispersed, and the three of them moved to a corner, finally having space to talk. Chiori couldn't help but show a teasing expression.

"It seems our Miss Star doesn't find this kind of banquet very interesting," she said.

"Yeah, it's boring."

She's not here for socializing.

And she doesn't need to curry favor with anyone.

The only thing useful to her here is information, but so far there has been no news of any treasures worth her attention.

Navia complimented, "Your dress is so beautiful."

"And me?" Luna asked with a smile.

"Of course you'll look even more beautiful and charming in comparison. Who knows, you might get a ton of invitations to the ball later on!"

A banquet doesn't always have a dance, but a dance is often accompanied by a banquet.

For the nobility, dance was also a part of social life.
