This is not the date I wanted.

"--Oh?"

I memorized the positions of all the drones before entering the smoke and destroyed them. ——After receiving such a hint from Mana, Alan's eyes narrowed.

"..."

"..."

After that, there was no need to continue the conversation. The two magi raised their weapons and pointed them at each other, and clashed again.

"Kotori, what's the situation over there, Mana?"

Meng Yue asked worriedly.

"The initial sneak attack failed, and now we are dealing with Alan. Kannozuki is also supporting us."

"That's good……"

Hearing Qin Li's answer, Meng Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

"But... this place is no longer usable."

Meng Yue looked around. The dreamy Southern Paradise had already been destroyed by DEM and Shidao's flash explosion. It was not surprising that it suddenly collapsed. It was obviously impossible to make Shidao embarrassed in such a place.

As if she understood this, Kotori nodded and replied.

"Indeed. Then let's prepare to move on to Plan No. 2."

"No way……"

Hearing this, Meng Yue instantly turned into a bitter face. To be honest, she was even worse at plan number two than the swimsuit date.

However, even though Mengyue was reluctant, the plan had to go on.

Kotori snapped her fingers lightly, and the entire swimming pool deformed and folded like a mechanical city, and finally disappeared into the forest. Afterwards, Meng Yue felt like she was riding an elevator, and the floor quickly sank several meters underground.

The lights were turned on, and the floor beneath my feet had turned into a rouge-colored carpet. Tables were placed in front of me. Then, staff in tuxedos and evening gowns scattered around, playing musical instruments, and began to serve the dishes.

In just a few minutes, the originally relaxing swimming pool was transformed into a dignified and elegant banquet hall.

Ratatoskr has maxed out his talents in strange places as usual, Meng Yue said speechlessly.

"W-what is this?"

"Wow...! Isn't this quite luxurious? And the machine just now is amazing!"

"I agree. Transfiguration is the romance of humankind."

“…Wow, that’s amazing. You don’t even need my abilities to do that…”

The elves expressed their amazement one after another.

However, such an occasion was obviously inappropriate for elves wearing swimsuits, so Kotori called the female employees of the dressing team and took everyone to change into matching dresses.

"No, thanks! Give me the clothes! I can put them on myself."

With a blushing face, Meng Yue rejected the female clerk's offer to help her change clothes, took the dress, and ran into the changing room alone.

"Hmm... the notes I took with great difficulty are basically useless..."

After looking at the swimsuit date guide recorded on her phone and then at the dress in her hand, Meng Yue couldn't help but let out a frustrated sigh.

13 Girls dancing under lights in the dark night (Part )

==============================

"This is truly an unexpected development."

Seeing the beautiful Nan Guo Beach Pool transformed into an elegant and solemn banquet hall in just a few minutes, Shidao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

However, it was just admiration. If it was my normal self, I might not be able to adapt to the atmosphere here and look embarrassed. But it was different at this moment. My body and brain were in an abnormally high state of excitement. Maybe this is what it feels like to be given stimulants. Shidao thought so.

He scanned the venue with a leisurely look. Then, he saw Tohka and the others.

"Oh... this is really pleasing to the eyes..."

Shidou exclaimed in surprise.

Different from the beautiful swimsuits we just saw, Tohka and the others were now wearing very elegant and virtuous long skirts. They were as beautiful as flowers carefully cultivated in a garden, making it impossible to take your eyes off them.

However, among them, Shidao did not find Liang Yi Meng Yue among the elves.

"…Sad, since the second act of the dance is about to begin, I should also make corresponding preparations."

After a moment of silence, Shidou's face was filled with a smile again. It took him only three seconds to understand Kotori's plan. The fake witch's light shone on his body, and a pair of monotonous beach pants turned into a stylish tuxedo.

Kaka-

The sound of high heels hitting the ground gradually approached. Shidou turned his head and saw the person coming. He couldn't help but smile teasingly.

"Pfft. Is it finally your turn, Commander?"

"Yeah. I was wondering if Shidou would be uncomfortable with this kind of banquet hall and look very embarrassed."

Kotori crossed her arms and said in a malicious tone. However, Shidou just shrugged his shoulders, pretending to be a polite gentleman, and replied with a salute.

"Indeed. This is my first time in a place like this, so it's inevitable that I'll behave awkwardly in an unfamiliar place. However, it's a rare opportunity to meet such a beautiful person like you in this kind of occasion. No matter how nervous I am, I don't want you to see me lose my composure, ma'am."

"Hmm... You've really become smooth-talking, Shidou."

As if she couldn't stand Shidou's extremely corny lines, Kotori turned her head away from Shidou's gaze involuntarily, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

"I am honored by your compliment."

"I'm withdrawing my words... I'm getting thick-skinned. Phew... never mind."

Kotori smacked her lips unwillingly, then sighed helplessly and snapped her fingers.

With this as a signal, beautiful music began to play in the hall. The staff who were originally chatting and laughing formed pairs of men and women and danced in the ballroom to the music.

"Shidou. Do you need me to tell you what to do next?"

Kotori asked, closing one eye.

In response, Shidou understood what she meant and bowed to Kotori, then extended his hand in front of her.

"My beautiful lady, would you like to dance with me?"

"Of course I am happy to do so."

Nodding with satisfaction, Kotori relaxed her expression a little, held Shidou's hand and bowed.

“Well, Kotori. Although we have come to this point, I have to explain to you first. Onii-chan, I can’t dance at all.”

Walking to the center of the hall, Shidou suddenly said with a serious face.

"Hey, hey, it's rare that I take notice of you, but you're still the same as always, Shidao."

Kotori looked at Shidou with disappointment. In response, Shidou could only smile bitterly.

"No way, how can it be possible to learn something that has not been learned."

Well, that's true. Although Shidou's words and actions are like a playboy due to the influence of fever and spiritual power outage, it is impossible for him to do something that even Zhi doesn't know.

(But this is the brother, the Onii-chan I know.)

Kotori raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"It's okay. This is to be expected. - Anyway, please hold my right hand gently with your left hand."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. Next, put your right hand around my waist."

"understood."

"—!"

Shidou put his arm around her waist, and Kotori couldn't help but let out a cute cry when she felt the friction between her waist and his palm.

"You..."

"Sorry, sorry, stop glaring at me like that."

"...Really? I'll guide you, and you just need to follow the rhythm of the song."

After letting out a long breath and suppressing the blush on her cheeks, Kotori pulled Shidou and began to dance gently.

At first, Shidou's steps were quite clumsy, but as time passed, the breathing between each other, and the music flowing around them, Shidou gradually relaxed, and then his dance steps became bold and smooth.

Of course, Kotori would never let Shidou notice that her heartbeat accelerated due to the close contact between their bodies during the dance.

"I was really surprised. I didn't expect Kotori to be such a good dancer."

"Of course, as a lady, it's a given."

Hearing Shidou's praise, Kotori raised her eyebrows proudly.

"To be honest, when I heard you were going to ask me to dance, I definitely thought you would fall down while dancing, lift up your skirt, and show me your printed panties to make me excited."

Qin Li was instantly furious.

"That's too stupid, isn't it?! I don't wear anything with floral prints anymore! Anyway, even to my sister, this is already sexual harassment! Pervert! A monkey in the climax of her sexual life!"

"Sorry, sorry. Just a joke - it hurts, my foot, don't step on my foot on purpose."

"Hmph, you deserve it!"

Kotori snorted softly. After a moment of silence, she asked softly.

"Hey, Shidao. A man's absence lasts three days... Have you heard of this saying?"

Shidou nodded.

"Yeah, I know. It means that a person suddenly changes a lot and makes people look at him with admiration. What's wrong?"

"You know, this doesn't just apply to boys. It applies to girls, too."

As she said that, Kotori raised her head and looked directly into Shidou's eyes, a smile on her lips as if teasing him.

"Just like today, it will be the same in the future. I will keep moving forward and work hard to become a charming woman. If you keep treating me like a child, you will be left behind by me, Onii-chan."

"—!"

Hearing Kotori's declaration, Shidou widened his eyes in surprise.

Just then, Kotori heard a cheerful trumpet sound next to her ears, which was a sign that Shidou's heart was beating.

"Hahaha... I really lost to you, Kotori. It's twelve o'clock at night. I'm really looking forward to it, Miss Cinderella."

Exhaling slowly through his nose, Shidou couldn't help but say this with admiration.

"Of course. Let's wait and see. Phew..."

Having said that, after knowing that she had successfully passed the test, Kotori couldn't help but let out a deep breath, and her tense nerves relaxed a little.

Then, the music came to an end, and Shidou and Kotori bowed slightly to each other before separating.

(Um……?)

Suddenly, Kotori noticed that Shidou's eyes were quietly looking in Tohka's direction, as if he was looking for something.

For a moment, a smirk appeared on Kotori's face.

“Speaking of which, Onii-chan. You have to work hard.”

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"As for me, I'm not very far away from Onii-chan at the moment. But Mengyue, if you don't work hard to catch up with her, you may never be able to catch up with her."

"..."

Hearing what Kotori said, Shidou's body suddenly stiffened, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked at Kotori without saying a word.

"Kotori, come to think of it. Counting five years ago and this June, we have kissed twice, right?"

"Well...what's wrong? You're talking about this all of a sudden?"

She nodded in acknowledgment somewhat embarrassedly. Kotori looked at Shidou in confusion.

"Well, it's okay to have an adult kiss this time, right?"

"Adult kiss?!"

Kotori's cheeks instantly turned red.
