Reincarnation of Villainess Noble Lady (Ch. 143-299)

REIKA-SAMA -143

The two of us drew circles to the music. Despite the height difference, Yukino-kun was doing his best to lead. And he was only six! What an amazing boy!

"You dance well, Yukino-kun."

"Really? It's not hard to dance because I'm too short?"

"Why, not at all. I happen to be enjoying myself immensely, thanks to your leading."

"Ehehe. I'm having a lot of fun too."

Soooo cuuuuute! Dancing with an adorable little angel like this? I'm so happy!

We were moving through the hall, step after step, when I made eye contact with Mao-chan whose eyes were glittering. Then Enjou who was still dancing with Aira-sama. He looked taken aback. I was probably going to hear complaints about this later, but...

"I hope I'll grow taller soon. I wonder if I'm this short because I hate milk."

Yukino-kun was actually so cute that all thoughts of Enjou disappeared for the moment. To think that he was worrying about his height. He really was a boy. It wasn't something to concern himself over at all. He was still in 1st grade so there was a lot of growing left to do. Actually, I kind of wished he'd stay cute like this forever.

His hair glowed amber in the light as I continued to follow his lead in circles around the hall.

Yukino-kun's jade hair shines brightly in the light. I spin matching his lead. Thinking about his health, we step out after one dance. A slightly flushed Yukino-kun had some plum juice, and I had a non-alcoholic frozen margarita to quench our thirst. So tasty!

"Yukino-kun, are you okay? Are you tired?"

"I'm fine. How about Reika-onee-san?"

"I still feel fantastic."

Maybe the jogging I did over the summer was why my stamina seemed better than before. The day after tomorrow I was headed to the Imperial Palace with Mihara-san as the culmination of my summer training. I wonder if I would be okay. It was five kilometres after all. I could already see all of the real joggers looking at me like I was completely out of place.

"You know, Yukino-kun, for a 1st grader you are very good with the waltz. Did you practice a lot?"

"That's not true. Compared to Niisama I'm not much."

Yukino-kun watched his brother again.

"I think you were plenty skilled."

Actually, if Yukino-kun had danced as flawlessly as Enjou, it might have been a little creepy even.

"Have you finished your summer homework?" I asked him.

"Yes. I finished most of it in July, so when I was done I stayed at a cool villa for a while."

"Goodness, is that so! What a good boy you are!"

"It was too hot for me to go outside so I didn't have anything else to do. Niisama helped me with the parts I couldn't do."

"Enjou-sama did?"

I'd been thinking this for a while now but Enjou sure was sweet on his brother.

"Yes. Although Niisama was too busy to really be around much... Oh, Niisama is coming over."

Having finished dancing, the four of them headed our way, still the centre of attention.

"Niisama!"

"Yukino."

With one hand Enjou signalled a waiter for a drink, while he plopped the other down on Yukino-kun's head.

"Yukino, you haven't been causing trouble for Kisshouin-san have you?"
