99. Ball Rhapsody No. 1(1/2)

This is a high-end mansion adjacent to Tokyo Bay.

Walking into the magnificent living room, you can see behind the large and bright floor-to-ceiling windows on the left, a yacht parked on the dock, and another group of guests have just disembarked and entered the living room.

The headlights are hung from the four-story ceiling, and the light is bright but not dazzling.

The guests mingled with each other, and elegant waiters carrying drinks shuttled among them.

Even at such a dance, when Miki Kujo walked into the venue holding Toru Watanabe's arm, everyone subconsciously looked over - maybe because of the power of the Kujo family, maybe because of their outstanding appearance.

"Good evening, everyone," Miki Kujo greeted with a smile, and introduced Toru Watanabe to everyone, "This is my boyfriend, Toru Watanabe."

After saying that, she looked at Toru Watanabe with her dark and bright eyes without blinking.

"Good evening, my name is Toru Watanabe." Toru Watanabe smiled and nodded.

This rare smile, when he smiled at them, all the stars fell on this dance tonight.

The handsome and tall young man stood casually and did not comb his hair back deliberately. He looked so confident that he looked like the owner of a mansion who had just come down from the third floor, greeting the guests cordially.

A girl's soft voice could be heard faintly in the living room.

Miki Kujo looked at Toru Watanabe's side face with a satisfied smile. Then her eyes looked around the entire living room, shining with provocation and pride.

It's like telling everyone: 'My stuff is the best.'

The host of the ball came to the two of them. They were a couple. The man wore a tuxedo and the woman wore a kimono.

During the chat, Toru Watanabe learned that the two of them had a last name.

Although I don’t know what the other party is doing specifically, the ‘Ichijo’ who can interact with Kujo Miki is definitely one of the ‘Five Photographers’.

The wider the Kujo family's network of connections, the more headache Watanabe Toru has.

Kujo Miki's status in this banquet was obviously the highest, because people kept coming to say hello, and she was just waiting for others to say hello.

However, when actually talking, Kujo Miki appears to be very polite, using honorifics to everyone, and most of the time she even treats herself as a junior.

"Kujo!"

A girl in a blue dress came over, and beside her there was a boy in a tuxedo and a girl in a light green dress.

Toru Watanabe, who was so bored that he had to swallow countless yawns, finally regained his energy.

He was still smiling, and his eyes were all on Kujo Miki - this action attracted the envious glances of the women around him, but he looked at the three of them out of the corner of his eye.

According to convention, these three should be the ‘villains’.

"Kujo," the two girls greeted each other cordially, and then immediately said as if they had memorized their speeches, "your boyfriend is so handsome and charming."

Kujo Miki pursed her lips and smiled: "It's okay, just barely."

Well, it seems that these two are not.

Toru Watanabe looked at Miki Kujo with a smile that said, "There's really nothing I can do about you." He looked at the boy in the tuxedo out of the corner of his eye.

There has to be a ‘rebel’, right?

"Hello, I'm Ying Si Dao." The boy extended his right hand cordially.

"Hello, Toru Watanabe."

The two shook hands.

"Are you interested in cars?" the boy named Ying Sidao asked.

Could it be a show of the second generation of rich people showing off their cars? Watanabe Tetsu was thinking this, and the girl in a blue dress said, "Takaji, you really like cars, tell me as soon as we meet!"

"What do you know!" Takashi replied impatiently, and looked at Watanabe Toru expectantly.

"I'm interested, but I don't understand it at all."

"It's okay if you don't understand!" Takajidao became excited as if he had found someone of the same kind, "My family has a racing track in Shizuoka, and I have formed an amateur team of my own. Let's go and try together tomorrow?"

"Racing?"

"I'm a professional..."

"He is a professional racing driver! I have said it ten thousand times!" The girl in the light green dress rushed to finish the sentence.

Takajidao looked like a boy with chuunibyouzhyou who was interrupted when shouting his trick, showing a very unhappy expression of a straight man.

He ignored the girl and continued to say to Toru Watanabe: "The two new Lamborghinis I ordered have just arrived. As a meeting gift, I will give you one. How about going for a couple of laps tomorrow and driving it away by the way?"

"ah?"

"That's right!" Ying Sidao slapped his forehead, "You probably don't have a driver's license yet, so let me have someone transport you there in a car. But it's totally fine to try it at the racing track, and the traffic police won't be able to deal with that.

Let me tell you, my running time is 1 minute and 39 seconds, you know how much..."

"Wait a minute." Toru Watanabe quickly interrupted him.

"That's how he is, he can't stop when the car comes." The girl in a blue dress said rudely.

Kujo Miki turned around and said to Toru Watanabe: "Do you want one? If so, I will buy you one."

"..."

Are all topics about rich people so boring?

"No need. When I said I was interested in cars, I meant go-karts and motorcycles." Watanabe Toru said perfunctorily.

But it’s not nonsense, motorcycles are the standard equipment for driving, and go-karts are his personal interest.

"Go-kart? What's the point of that toy car?" Ying Sidao finally said something rebellious.

"You are so rude!"

“Everyone’s interests are different, how can they be distinguished?”

The two girls fought for him.

"What do you know?" Takashi ignored the two of them and said, "Watanabe, I'll have the car delivered to you. If you want to play with it, come to me anytime and I'll teach you how to drift step by step."

"...It's really not necessary."

"What if you want to play? And interest can be developed!" Ying Si said anxiously, and he was ready to break off the relationship if he didn't accept this Lamborghini.

Although the two of them had only met for five minutes, there was no friendship at all.

Watanabe Toru would not think that the other party really wanted Amway Racing and gave him a free Lamborghini. All of this was just for Kujo Miki's sake.

"I'll definitely go to your racing track when I'm interested. I won't need the car. A gentleman won't win anyone's love."

"Okay." Ying Sidao looked regretful, "I must come."

The three of them exchanged contact information with Toru Watanabe and went to say hello to the others.

"Why don't you accept it? The price of the car bought by Takashi Road is 60 million yen per tael." Miki Kujo said with deep meaning.

"I don't take 60 million yen seriously." Toru Watanabe smiled and put his hands on her slender waist, staring into her eyes, "I'm not with you for money, but for something more important.

"

"What?"

"you guess?"

"Glib talk." Miki Kujo took his hand away and forced the two of them to return to the position where they were holding hands. "But from now on, you have behaved to my satisfaction. I will buy you whatever you want."

"

"real?"

"what do you like?"

Watanabe Toru leaned into her ear: "I like you."

Miki Kujo pinched his side.

"hiss--"

"I'm yours, no need to buy it." She smiled mischievously.

Watanabe Toru, whose heart beat twice as fast, once again deeply realized the fact that Kujo Miki is a devil.

This dance is exactly what Qingye Rin said. There is nothing special to pay attention to. After saying hello to the dance host, you can do whatever you want.

If he hadn't been brought here by Miki Kujo, Toru Watanabe would have been happy to participate as a way to gain experience and taste the dazzling array of food on the long table.

The entrance and cocktail party time is from 7:30 to 8:00, and the formal dance is from 8:00 to 10:00.

Before 8 o'clock, Miki Kujo took turns greeting various people. Although the topic they talked about was more boring than racing, Toru Watanabe could only stay with her.

His behavior was not strictly etiquette, but his words and deeds were full of confidence, giving people a sense of detachment as he understood all the rules and regulations. Others would not have the idea that he did not know etiquette.

The figures of the two people were chased by the eyes of the people at the venue from beginning to end.

Watanabe Toru didn't encounter any 'rebellion', but many girls peeked at him with rosy cheeks, reminding him of Mai-senpai when he was doing business.

It's really terrible.

Fortunately, he didn't continue to click [Charm: Smile], otherwise he might really become a facial paralysis in the future.

At eight o'clock, amid warm cocktail music, Rin Kiyono walked into the venue in aqua blue dress.
To be continued...
