Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation: Succubus Sword God? I don't recognize it!

170.

"But it often appears in court banquets, not often in banquets, and dances where the social significance is greater than the performance significance."

The words fell.

Hilda was in a backward position, holding Alice's hand and looking at her.

The latter looked at the shoe prints on Hilda's high heels in panic, and her face turned red, which was very rare for the young lady.

"Don't mind your step, Alice."

"Ah! But, mother's shoes."

Hilda smiled nonchalantly. She would also be flustered when she first learned the dance steps, but at this time she couldn't let Alice feel embarrassed about stepping on her dance partner, which would make her avoid dancing.

The best way to divert her attention is to let her keep absorbing new knowledge and not stop dancing.

She ignored the pain in her feet and interrupted Alice with a smile.

"So, what kind of dance is more suitable for a banquet?"

"I I don't know! Eh!!"

Before Alice could reply, Hilda tightened her grip and pulled Alice, who was not paying attention to the dance steps at all, in front of her.

The idle left hand is spread out.

Use a little force with your slender fingers and bring them together.

Slowly placed it on Alice's waist.

Hard.

He pulled his daughter into his arms.

Bow down.

Look into his eyes.

Alice was stunned, startled by her mother's sudden excitement.

At this moment, there was a very obvious sound of a gasp from the side.

Hilda smiled and glanced aside.

Sylphy's entire face turned red, her ears trembled, and she was covering her face.

But it didn't cover it all.

Her fingers stretched out, and her reddish-brown eyes kept watching Hilda's dance through the gaps between her fingers.

Very frightened.

Very shy.

But the body tells us honestly.

I really want to learn.

Rudy, standing aside, had his lips curled up and was looking sideways at Alan and Sylphy, wondering what he was thinking.

So what is Alan doing?

He just looked at Alice and Hilda calmly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Without any other emotions, he simply felt that the scene of Hilda teaching Alice was very beautiful. This sudden feeling in his heart even overwhelmed his habit of paying attention to Sylphy's condition with his peripheral vision from time to time.

And he had naturally seen this kind of dance before. It was very similar to the fast and slow waltz before he traveled through time. Coupled with his good swordsmanship talent and body coordination, he could perfectly restore it just by seeing it.

He hasn't learned it.

But it will jump.

I also know what this dance, which involves lots of cheek kissing, clapping, and waist-holding, and is relaxed, natural, passionate, and free-spirited, is called.

The name is .

“Asra Ballroom Dance – Foxtrot.”

"Also known as the Dance of Love."

Hilda said with a smile, moving her eyes away from Sylphy's face and looking at Alice in her arms.

Alice looked a little flustered. She had seen Edna demonstrate it before, but she chose to run out of the classroom at the speed of light to skip class, so she only had the impression of "seeing it".

"Why is it called 'Dance of Love'?"

She slowly slid to Alice's side, using her own body to transmit the power, and her arms to guide Alice's body to rotate with her movements.

The first step he took sideways was very large and fast, but the second step that followed was very slow, lightly touching the ground.

The skirt sways.

Alice stepped precisely on Hilda's shoes.

The latter seemed to be completely unaware and continued talking.

"Because this is the beginning of many marriages among the nobility. Most of them may have been promoted by the marriage between two families, but to outsiders it is a symbol of 'love'."

Alice simply couldn't hear the words that were meant for Sylphy. Although her body was dancing under Hilda's guidance, the fact that she stepped on Hilda's shoes one by one made her more and more nervous. Her body began to stiffen and her posture became more and more twisted.

Also beside them were Allen, Sylphy and Rudy.

The eldest lady's self-esteem was screaming.

Just as she was about to use her swordsmanship to forcibly break free from Hilda's guidance, Alan's voice floated into her ears.

"Take quick, large steps, using the Sword God Style's movements as a reference, and swiftly swing your legs, using your thighs to drive your calves, landing where you want them to land."

Alice was startled, but the tacit understanding she had been taught for half a year allowed her to react instantly. At this moment, her feet were already on Hilda's shoe again, only a short distance of ten centimeters.

She turned her ankle away instantly and took a step back.

At this moment, Hilda, who was listening to Alan's words, had a hint of surprise in her eyes, but she was very familiar with the dance steps, so she naturally followed Alice's footsteps.

With the same large and quick steps, he tiptoed beside Alice's retreating steps.

The two bodies were still close to each other.

During this action, Alan did not stop talking, speaking quickly but clearly.

"Stand on tiptoe, and slowly step back. Use the preparatory movements of the Water God Style as a reference, and feel the position where you want to 'swing'. When the thought comes, naturally put your foot where you want to step back, and gently put your foot down. Because this is not a swing, but a block, don't be so fierce, so eager."

Alice blinked, and before Alan could finish his words, she instantly understood the situation and what to do next through this metaphor that suddenly combined swordplay with dance.

I saw the tip of her other foot rubbing lightly against the ground, sliding across the ground, and then landing in a 'proper' standing position that she had determined and made her feel comfortable.

There is actually a feeling of 'elegance'.

Because, Allen's Water God Style is inherently 'elegant'.

Just like what Allen always said, "If the sword can be cut gracefully, then death can be beautiful."

Then Hilda's footsteps landed on the tip of her toes.

The footsteps no longer overlap and stay in the same place.

Only the black and white and the fiery red skirt 'collide' together.

Set off beautiful white, black and red fireworks.

Then fall.

The end of the skirt swings in front of the two people's calves.

The two stood still.

He still maintained the intimate waist-hugging posture, and his body posture was very natural.

It seems like nothing has ever changed.

The rhythm of the dance steps.

A beat of movement.

With Alan's verbal guidance, Alice's active steps, and Hilda's deliberate cooperation.

finished.

So Easy.

Alice's eyes suddenly burst into light!

"Sword God Style!"

One step at a time.

Hilda followed.

"Water God Flow!"

Step back, tiptoe, and with a sense of frustration, take back your step.

Hilda still followed her movements naturally.

Another beat.

Back and forth.

Another beat.

No need for Alan to remind him.

The mother and daughter danced a dance whose postures were still a little strange, but looked presentable.

Like two butterflies, one big and one small.

The red hair was scattered in the sunset light shining through the enamel glass.

I personally like these two chapters very much, they feel very 'atmospheric'.

In addition, I have few words, but I am really not writing in a sloppy way. Sylphy lets Hilda get close to Alan - teaches - Heart of Iron - Shaoloth's motivation to rebuild the territory - ball venue - teaches dance - etiquette posture - identity exposure (tomorrow), and also fills in the characters of Shaoloth and Philip. It also lays the groundwork for the subsequent plot of the tower and the ball, and puts the climax ahead of time. It's just that the slow pace of writing and the small number of words in the update make everyone feel that there is no useful information. But the actual amount of information given is a lot, and it will all be used in the subsequent plot.

In addition, I will try to accumulate some manuscripts a few hundred words at a time recently. On the 14th, there will be recommendations. I will do my best to update more by then.

That was a crucial step in determining how far this book could go.

It is also expected to be the climax of the tutoring period (or it will have ended by then) and a key step in the plot transition.
