Re - Jobless Reawakening: The Succubus Sword Saint

　　So simple.

　　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.

　　Thank you for your continued support!

171. Chapter 168: Exposed Identity, Boreas's 'Heart' (I)

　　171.

　　Hair flying.

　　Keep walking.

　　The sound of the soles of the shoes hitting the ground was a little chaotic at first, but gradually became consistent.

　　And then.

　　Two people were dancing in the empty banquet hall.

　　But only the sound of one person's footsteps remained.

　　Hilda and Alice's footsteps overlapped.

　　Hilda looked at Alice in front of her, who was completely immersed in the excitement of learning something new, as if she was playing an interesting game, jumping more and more happily, and her face looked a little dazed.

　　Then, in just a moment, she calmed down, her expression returned to normal, and she chose to continue the half-finished course.

　　"Well, that's the basic steps. As expected, if you compare it to swordsmanship, Alice will master it very quickly~"

　　"Um!!"

　　Alice, immersed in the sense of accomplishment, raised a bright smile. She wanted to play a few more beats, but Hilda suddenly let go of her hand on Alice's waist.

　　She pushed very gently.

　　Pushing Alice back a step.

　　Then his arms held Alice back, preventing her from being pushed too far away.

　　The two returned to their starting position.

　　The red hair like red paint swayed and then fell to the side of the body.

　　Stopped.

　　"I have already mastered the basic feeling of the dance steps. After that, it is a process of continuous practice. At the end of the dance, the action is frozen like this."

　　Alice opened her mouth, but suddenly realized that this was still a class and the person in front of her was her mother, so she suppressed the urge to pull her up and jump again.

　　Hilda looked at Alice.

　　"Then."

　　She clenched her free hand into a fist and put it behind her back.

　　He grabbed Alice's hand, folded her wrist, and turned the back of her hand towards him.

　　Lift up.

　　Pull in.

　　Put it in front of your face.

　　Also on her lips.

　　He raised his eyes and looked at Alice.

　　"After the foxtrot dance stops, the male will have two choices. One is to end with a kiss on the hand."

　　Before he could finish his words, a panicked "Eh? Eh!?" came from the side.

　　Everyone turned to look at Sylphy, who had completely covered her face, her ears almost turning purple.

　　Ah. Ah. What is this?

　　How are you gonna dance together, husband, husband, husband, husband, lady?

　　Under the palm of her hand, Sylphy's eyes had already begun to circle around.

　　Seeing her like this, Alan blinked.

　　Because he had no idea about Hilda's dance proposal, he just thought that the other party was tricked by Hilda's action.

　　I have to say that when Hilda was dancing, as the male, her movements were quick and graceful with a sense of rhythm. Coupled with her unique voice that was sharp yet soft and sensual, she was indeed very charming.

　　It seems that Alice's physical talents and swordsmanship intuition are not only derived from the blood of the Boreas family.

　　Miss Alice was still in high spirits at the moment, and due to her lack of association, she did not have any special reaction, but just asked immediately.

　　"What about the second one?!"

　　Hilda's eyes wandered for a moment when she heard this, as if she was thinking of a distant memory.

　　The next moment, he let go of Alice's hand.

　　Close your hands and press your chest.

　　Bend down and lean over.

　　An extremely standard aristocratic greeting.

　　"The second is the ordinary noble greeting that is slightly distant."

　　Alice raised her brows, looking a little confused.

　　Rudy couldn't help but ask first.

　　"Ma'am, is there any difference between the two?"

　　Hilda raised herself up, regaining her dignified posture, and looked down at her hands.

　　"The two different etiquettes have the same purpose, which is to maintain the dignity of both parties. Because the dance itself is an act of socializing, when the two parties are dancing the foxtrot, under the cover of the music, in a dance that is not too short, it is enough for the two people to complete the "communication" and reach a certain consensus."

　　"After this, the dance stops, and this consensus will be expressed in the etiquette of the frozen movements—"

　　"If it's a kiss on the hand, it means both parties agree to the next step of the relationship and further development. It also shows the other nobles at the ball their ownership of each other and sends a 'signal' so that other people of the opposite sex of the same age will not come to disturb them too much."

　　"If it is a greeting, it means that the two people have not reached a consensus in the dance. It also sends a 'signal', meaning that other peers can continue to invite them."

　　The words fell.

　　Sylphy's face turned pale.

　　She opened her mouth slightly and put down her hands that were covering her face. Her expression was a little confused. She subconsciously looked at Alan beside her, but quickly looked away.

　　The latter was a little dazed.

　　How come this situation is not seen in the original book? The original book's 10-year-old party dance plot is too concise from Rudy's perspective, and it is just a passing mention, while the animation is more detailed. The dance steps that Rudy invites Alice to dance are indeed more like a simplified version of the "foxtrot" chosen out of consideration for Alice.

　　He raised an eyebrow at the thought.

　　Wait, at his own five-year-old party, which was a social dance that was entirely used for political purposes, his 'older brothers' seemed to have actually performed a frozen-action kiss on the hand and a greeting.

　　But why didn't we see this scene in the tutoring period animation?

　　The next moment, Hilda spoke up and answered his question.

　　"But, this dance is your birthday party, Alice, so you are a special case. No one will try to test you in this way in the Boreas mansion. Because you are the protagonist of the party, the choice is in your hands. You can dance with everyone and make your own choice after the party is over."

　　Alan stroked his chin.

　　So that's what's going on. Edna didn't teach this knowledge at all, or maybe she did, but it was outside Rudy's perspective.

　　After all, Edna only asked him to help teach the dance steps.

　　Rudy didn't know this information, which was why he was constantly invited to dance by various girls at the party, because in the plot he did not kiss the hand of any of them.

　　In the eyes of others, Rudy's behavior may make him look like an unsatisfied peacock.

　　Thinking of this, Alan glanced at Rudy beside him, whose face looked a little stiff, as if he was thinking about something.

　　So, will Rudy do something different this time when he knows this etiquette? Will he choose to accept the affection of a noble lady?

　　A noble lady?

　　Alice?

　　Alan looked at the two people who had no signs of interaction under the water, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

　　Uh. I got the kidnapping case wrong this week. So far, there seems to be no spark between these two. However, combined with the anime, Rudy is actually more popular than I thought. In Buena Village, there are also girls of the same age who greet him happily, and at Alice's tenth birthday party, there are also girls who keep inviting him to dance.

　　Hmm. It's completely different from the original plot, very interesting. I must get closer to him when the time comes, maybe it will be fun to watch.

　　The corners of Rudy's mouth kept twitching.

　　Uh. It's over. It's over. At present, the plan of actively approaching Allen as a supporting role can be declared a complete failure. First of all, Sylphy must dance with Allen. Alice? It's good enough that the young lady doesn't hit me? And dance with me? What about the other noble girls at that time?

　　She must be waiting for Allen and Sylphy to finish dancing and then invite him! She must stay away from him when the time comes! She really can't be a supporting role anymore!

　　(End of this chapter)

172. Chapter 169: Exposed Identity, Boreas's 'Heart' (Part 2)

　　172.

　　After hearing this, Alice raised her eyebrows, raised her chin, and looked up at the enamel glass above her head.

　　Even if her little brain was dull, she naturally understood what her mother was saying after Hilda explained it so clearly.

　　But for her, the matter of choosing a son-in-law does not feel real yet.

　　And marrying a person of the opposite sex and spending the rest of your life together is even less realistic, and even sounds "weird".

　　Why get married?

　　but.

　　She understood the feeling of 'liking'.

　　I like grandpa, I like Gileno, I like mother, I like Eren, and I also like Sylphy.

　　but.

　　These likes are obviously different from those of my mother and father.

　　The only person of the opposite sex I want to invite to dance is Alan, but it feels like the same thing as with my mother and father.
