Atobe's Ball

The most unwilling thing is to become a puppet.

—— Kagome

Although Atobe's PARTY is hosted by him, the people invited are not just what Atobe wants. Some families who are not suitable for participation and have suspicions cannot be arranged.In addition, there is another issue that Atobe needs to consider, the female partner of the opening dance-although she was Atobe's mother in previous years.

But Atobe's mother, who is on vacation this year, has no idea of ​​​​giving Atobe a break.So, on the day before the ball, Atobe looked at the invitation list for a series of banquets, finally selected one of them, and ticked off her name.

——Huayuan, Campanulaceae.

"Minister, what do you want from me?" Seeing Kikyo sitting on the seat handling official business, the little assistant who was called was obviously a little strange.

"Ah, I'm sorry to trouble you." Kikyo stopped moving, nodded and smiled at the member next to him who handed her a cup of coffee, the member immediately blushed and walked out very excitedly.

Only then did Kikyo stop to deal with things.

"I know that there are a lot of things in the finance department this month. I checked some accounts, but I still feel that they can't be checked. I have handed this matter over to the president of Atobu. You are the staff left by the previous minister. For these contents How much do you know?" Kikyo waved the little assistant to sit down, and then handed her a document bag.

The little assistant looked quietly, and the more he looked at his face, the sooner he looked, and he pursed his lips tightly.

"Why is this?" The little assistant was obviously quite shocked, "This matter..."

"That's what I planned... Also, the schedule for the school festival has been delivered in the afternoon, and I'll share it with everyone for details. I want to hear everyone's thoughts, understand?"

"Understood, Minister." The little assistant knew the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to shirk it.At this time, there was a knock on the door, and it was Atobe's most powerful assistant Taki who walked in.

"Mr. Kazakhstan, the president invites you to come over." Taki looked elegant and kind, while privately looking at Kikyo. He heard a lot of rumors from Shinozu that this Kazakhstan was probably the wife of the president that Grandpa Atobe preferred. Therefore, he also wanted to give some details on behalf of the Jibu. After all, he was a die-hard and loyal Jibu party, and he always considered it from his point of view.

"Understood, I'll go right away."

I have been waiting for a while when I came to the chairman's room.Fortunately, they are not coy people.Atobu's request is also concise and clear. It is completely an instructional task, and it looks like work: "Well, I invite you to be my dance partner at the private banquet tomorrow. I will wait in the classroom at five o'clock after school tomorrow. I will send someone to pick you up." You go take care of it."

"Ah?" Kikyo was a little surprised at first, but seeing Atobe's seriousness and not seeming to be joking at all, he probably understood that the emperor didn't want to attract bees and butterflies. Anyway, the two current parents of the two are happy to see the success and save each other trouble.Moreover, Atobe has always had a dogmatic style, and after getting along for so long, Kikyo naturally figured out the way.

"Understood." Kikyo nodded lightly, showing no emotion.

------------Dividing line------------

As the first private banquet held after the 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony for the heir of the Atobe family, each family obviously attaches great importance to it.Kikyo was taken to the Atobe family very early.

There are all kinds of makeup artists and costume artists here.Although Kikyo is a little curious about how her size was found out, it is estimated that the result is nothing more than "I am omnipotent". After all, as the president of Atobe, the medical examination data can be retrieved at will. Just thinking of that scene, When Atobe said to the butler, "Prepare women's clothing in the size of ...", he always felt extremely happy.

After all, Kikyo is born with a good foundation, so you don't need heavy makeup to dress up. The fresh and natural nude makeup will more than double your own advantages. Wearing an evening dress that is very in line with Atobe's taste, two people stand together, but there is a pair of people a feeling of.

"It's pretty gorgeous." Atobe was wearing a white and black striped dress with a black shirt inside and a dark rose pinned to his chest. Bee Wave Butterfly"), it has a low-key luxury feeling.

Kikyo didn't reply, a white dress, a half-up lady's hairstyle, a pair of exquisite crystal shoes, and natural makeup, looked extraordinarily beautiful.

The banquet started at eight o'clock in the evening, but by 07:30 almost all the guests had arrived.

As the host's female companion, Kikyo appeared with Atobe.

After receiving the invitation, Tezuka and Kanna meet unexpectedly. Although the two have only met once, they both have a good impression.Seeing that Kikyo didn't show up, Kanna, who learned from Honoka that Kikyo had already come to the banquet, couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Don't be careless." Even if Tezuka comforted others, his aura was cold.

Kanna looked at Tezuka, who was very formal. The handmade black suit made him look elegant and extraordinary. Although his blood relationship was not close, he could vaguely find similarities with Kikyo.Seeing the lights in the stands go out suddenly, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to Shennai's mind. In addition, he didn't see Kikyo after school today, and Xia Ben said that Kikyo had asked for leave from work. Shenna suddenly thought of something.

"Isn't it possible that Kikyo is Atobe's female companion?" Kanna twitched the corner of her mouth, this...

As Kikyo's close friend, a girl who has been working to tear down Atobe for a long time, Kanna now only feels that there is a rumble of thunder.The speaker was not interested in the listener, but Tezuka remembered that day when Atobe sent Kikyo home, it was rare to see Atobe being so kind to a girl, and Tezuka was somewhat sure of what he told his grandfather when he came to contact him.

It seems that both Huahuayuan and the Atobe family intend to marry.

Lenses reflect light.

A beam of spotlights hit the white staircase in the hall.Kikyo is holding Atobe's hand, handsome men and beautiful women usually appear at the focus of the lights.

The people in the audience are all the young ladies of the aristocratic family. Even though the young lady of the Huahuayuan family lives reclusively and was born in Kyoto, who doesn't know her reputation in the entire Japanese aristocratic circle?Today, Keigo Atobe chose Hanain Kikyo as his dance partner. Does he also imply that the two families are planning to marry?After all, it is a precocious generation, and after a few rounds of reincarnation in their hearts, their complexion still does not show.

Kanna sticks out her tongue and looks very surprised, but she has to admit that Atobe and Kikyo are standing together at this moment, and the aura is very consistent.Originally, she always thought that it would be difficult for a woman with Atobe's arrogant aura to stand beside him, and her character should be submissive.It's just that the ice beauty Kikyo walked beside Atobe today, and she actually felt a bit like "a man with a talent and a woman's appearance, made in heaven".Well, the world is really not crazy.

"Welcome everyone to attend the banquet at Atobe's family today. I hope you have a good time tonight." Atobe's gorgeous voice, laziness and carelessness, clearly meant no ambiguity. Turned a few minutes.

As the host, Atobe will have a dance with Kikyo.

Although he loves tango, Atobe will not be capricious as a dancer.Elegant and soothing rumba, piano sound, violin sound accompaniment, elegant melody, elegant dance steps.

Atobe put his hand on Kikyo's waist. Although he didn't rehearse in advance (this is not necessary for the uncle's aesthetics), he seemed to be able to do a job with ease and have an extraordinary tacit understanding.Step change, slip.The gently raised white skirt is intertwined with the black dress.

The breath of both of them gave each other a clear feeling.The corners of Atobe's mouth twitched a little, this feeling is not annoying.

Originally Kikyo felt that he and Atobe should be a little embarrassed, but there is no embarrassment in the uncle's dictionary except for being gorgeous. When he jumped up, he was unexpectedly "in love with each other". With the hand gently placed on the waist, the warm body temperature can be clearly felt through the thin dress.Kikyo looked up at Atobe, and the two of them did not avoid their eyes.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, they are expressing affection.

Shen Nai was about to bite the handkerchief down there, when did Atobe seduce Kikyo, and she actually managed to hide it from her first best friend, right? Could it be that Atobe and Kikyo are really a couple?

It seems that the wolf in the class should have noticed it long ago.Thinking of that guy's wicked smile, Kanna was thoughtful.

Tezuka frowned, but said nothing.

After the song, the other guests slid onto the dance floor.In fact, this kind of banquet also has the meaning of a blind date in disguise. For them, it is obviously more perfect to find a marriage partner with a good fortune, a good personality, and a better appearance.

Of course, the most expensive son-in-law among them is obviously Mr. Atobe.A group of women are full of wolves below, staring at Atobe is like staring at the fattest monk meat in life.

But Mr. Atobe blocked it automatically first, so he turned his eyes to Kikyo again, this time it was all resentment.

Kikyo ignored it even more.The two walked to the dance floor and saw that the bow tie Atobe was pinning was crooked, and Kikyo even adjusted it smoothly, while Atobe on the other side saw Kikyo's movements and naturally accepted it, not at all like he usually rejected girls.

Well, now everyone wants to replace it with Kikyo.

As the host, Atobe had to entertain a lot of people. Kikyo had no intention of participating. When he walked to the side and saw Tezuka, the two were cousins ​​after all, so they also entered the dance floor to dance together.

While being seen by Atobu, who was surrounded by many girls, his face darkened, and he was even less fond of the so-called daughter of a family who came up automatically.

Hiding at the back, it is rare to watch it without the desire to moles the beauty, and I have a hunch that this time is definitely a good thing for Atobe.

"Well, it's so interesting to see when Xiaojing will plant. It's worth sharing." The Kansai wolf holding the red wine is meaningful, and the roses are also blooming season.

But the bad-hearted Renzu obviously wanted to watch the show more.

After the banquet, Kikyo was left alone by Atobe.

"Today is very fulfilling. Being my uncle's dance partner is quite gorgeous. Let the housekeeper send someone to take you back." Atobe's thoughtfulness always surprised others, but Kikyo felt that this was another kind of gentleness of the emperor.

"It's a pleasure to be your dance partner, President Atobe. It's a very pleasant evening. Thank you for your hospitality."

Kikyo still looks gentle and polite, but Atobe always feels that he can't lift his fist when he hits the cotton, and he can't explain why.

On the contrary, the housekeeper outside the door smiled, the young master rarely has the troubles of youth.
