The reincarnated god of war destroys the empire
Ball (1)
“… … .”
A tranquil silence descended.
Because there was no reply at all.
“What? Why is everyone looking at me like that?”
Harun, in particular, had his mouth wide open.
If you keep doing that, you’ll end up in Paris.
“Have you… … ever looked in a mirror?”
At that moment, Jan swallowed dry saliva and asked.
“mirror?”
At the same time, my head tilted.
And then, his expression hardened.
“Milon.”
“… … It would be better if I didn’t see it.”
“Right now.”
“I get it.”
Woohoo!
Soon, a small resonating sound rang out.
Soon a shape appeared in front of Milen.
Mirror image.
A two-circle magic that copies and reflects the current target’s appearance.
“… … .”
I stared blankly straight ahead.
Before I knew it, it was the direction where a figure identical to me appeared.
Black hair that is even darker than Erina’s, who was dyed with Hydra’s blood.
Black eyes without a single blemish, contrasting with pure white skin.
Still, the line was quite thin, and if it had been a little taller, a beautiful woman who would have been more appropriately described as a beauty than a handsome man was standing there.
“… …Why is the girl here?”
“Pfft!”
At my reaction, Kirian couldn’t hold back his laughter.
Soon my gaze turned to the culprit who had made me like this.
“… …May.”
“yes?”
“How did this happen?”
May rolled her eyes and avoided my gaze.
“Is this why you rushed so hard to put on makeup?”
“No, I just got excited without realizing it and… … Hehehe.”
May let out an awkward laugh and quickly hid behind Mylon.
Seeing him limping as he ran away like that, I didn’t even think about getting angry.
“You must recover completely. When you do, I will definitely hit you.”
“How can you say something like hitting a lady so casually!”
Winry, who had been quiet, intervened.
“Sister, that princess is defeated too.”
“… … .”
May froze in place like a statue.
Of course, he thought it was a joke and soon started to smile.
“Since we’re going to get hit, why don’t we try on a dress? Then I really don’t think I’ll have any more wishes. Your makeup looks good on you too!”
“No, no, sis. Don’t do that. I’m not joking. Whoa, whoa.”
That’s why experience was important.
Because Winry desperately tried to stop May from doing that.
Then, perhaps feeling that this couldn’t go on, he quickly changed the subject.
“The Marquis Laxir’s ball starts this evening. It usually lasts for three days at the shortest and a week at the longest, but unless there are special circumstances, it would be better to go on the first or last day.”
“Why is that so?”
“That’s when the most guests will attend. Since you’re going anyway, wouldn’t it be better to build connections?”
That was certainly the case.
“You said today was the first day?”
“huh.”
“Then, let’s leave right now.”
“… … !”
At the same time, Winry muttered in confusion.
“Hey, should I remove my makeup before I go? It looks like there’s going to be chaos even without that.”
I thought I knew what Winry was worried about.
Because my standards for beauty aren’t that different from others.
“It’s okay. If there are any crazy guys who come running at me, I’ll beat them all up.”
“… … .”
“Now that I think about it, it’s not so bad. If you give me a reason to know what kind of person I am, I can properly exercise my power… … .”
Before I could finish speaking, Winry, who had been looking this way, smiled brightly.

Then, he turns to the children and declares:
“Get ready.”
“……yes?”
She whispered the next words, lowering her voice as much as possible.
“We’re going too, with that mad dog’s muzzle.”
I can hear you, Winry.
***
Actually, this wasn’t my first time hosting a ball.
So, the first one would probably be my experience with ‘that guy’.
At a time when he had escaped from slavery and risen to become a knight.
“Raven, come to the ball with me.”
I got dressed up and went to the guy’s house.
I was able to grow much faster thanks to the mana platform that Raven created for me, and at the time, I wanted to repay him.
“Ball? Why go to that complicated and annoying place?”
“Are you going to live alone for the rest of your life?”
“I’m fine. You go your own way. I’m more comfortable alone.”
“It’s not that I’m comfortable being alone, it’s that I’m used to being alone.”
“… … ?”
Raven tilted her head without even looking up from the book.
“Are the two different?”
“Of course it’s different. Haven’t you heard the saying, ‘Don’t be fooled by familiarity and lose what’s precious’?”
“… … Doesn’t that mean you should behave well and not make mistakes in interpersonal relationships?”
“This applies to you now as well. I’ve seen many people who enjoyed irresponsible pleasures when they were young because they thought they were comfortable being alone, and then ended up regretting it.”
Raven looked even more puzzled.
“I think this would be more comfortable. Since I don’t have any responsibilities, I can just enjoy myself… … Above all, everyone around me says that marriage is hell. They even told me not to do it.”
“Break up all ties with those who say such things. My people have already done it, so they say such things without any problem. Are you going to die alone when you grow old?”
“… … .”
Raven, who seemed to be thinking for a moment, soon waved his hand.
“I’m annoying after all. You should go to the ball alone.”
“I guess I’ll have to drag her out by force.”
I walked over with brisk strides and soon lifted Raven’s small body up.
“What, what are you doing!? Let go of this!”
“You said married life was hell? Come with me to hell, my friend. If we go together, hell will be more bearable than if we go alone.”
“You crazy bastard! Why are you meddling in other people’s lives!?”
“What’s wrong? My friend wants to play with his friend. What’s wrong?”
“What a crazy guy!”
So Raven was led by my hand to the ball several times.
There, he falls in love with a noble woman at first sight and even starts a relationship with her.
Fortunately, the other person did not look at the curse Raven was suffering from with prejudice.
If the war hadn’t broken out at that time, we might have even gotten married.
“Hey, what kind of battlefield is this for a guy who makes medicine in the corner of his house?”
At the outbreak of the Continental Unification War.
Raven insisted on following me, even carrying her bundle.
Knowing how stubborn the guy is, I was even more excited and excited back then.
“Do you really want to get stabbed and die!?”
At that time, Raven reacted to my temper like this.
“My friend wants to hang out with his friend. What’s wrong?”
“… … !”
As if he was finally getting revenge, he even had that mischievous smile on his face that I had never seen before.
“… … Lot!”
“… … .”
“Enslot!”
I opened my eyes quietly.
“Did you fall asleep in the meantime?”
On the other side, some well-dressed children were looking this way.
“I’ve arrived. I have to get off now.”
As he said, the rattling noise had completely disappeared.
Because the place we are sitting now is inside a carriage.
“… … Now that I think about it, it’s ridiculous. Why do they take carriages just to walk a few steps there?”
“Now that you’re a noble, you should learn a little about the dignity of the nobles. Whether it’s a two-horse carriage or a four-horse carriage, is the frame of the carriage made of gold or is it plated? Are the wheels made of expensive wood or cheap wood? From the moment you enter, each and every one of these things is evaluated in the social world.”
“They are talking nonsense.”
I blurted out exactly what I felt in response to Jan’s explanation.
“Yeah. I knew you’d react like that.”
At the same time, Winry burst into laughter.
“Once you open this door, this is the battlefield. Are you all ready?”
As she spoke, her gaze was fixed on Erina and me.
“Especially you two, you absolutely must not cause any accidents. Please, I beg you.”
Winry, dressed in a pure white dress, repeated her request as if she was picturing the situation ahead.
“Princess. Even so, you have become a noble now. Would you really cause trouble?”
“That’s right. It would have been better if you hadn’t come, but since you were invited, it’s okay to throw dirty water at someone else’s party… … .”
“I came here to stop that.”
Kirian, Harun, and Jan responded in turn.
“Ah! Stop worrying and just open that door! I’m already so frustrated.”
“… … !”
bang!
I kicked the carriage door open without anyone having time to stop me.
“Okay, wait a minute!”
Winry, who was about to say something, shut her mouth.
“… … !”
“… … !”
“… … !”
It was just after I made eye contact with some oily men who reminded me of butter.
This is the garden of the Marquis of Laxir.
Before all the nobles enter the ball, they look for their partners for the day here.
That is, we made eye contact with such lynxes.
“Up, up, Princess Winry!?”
One of the men looks as if he saw something he shouldn’t have seen.
The mysticism of the 2nd princess of the Heart Kingdom has been famous for a very long time.
The sound was so loud that everyone’s eyes were immediately focused in that direction.
“omg!”
Soon the sound of gasping for breath could be heard everywhere.
“Three, my goodness… … .”
“Tongue, bro! Over there! Look over there!”
“Hey, I’ve already seen it. Were there such beauties in our country?”
“All three are insanely beautiful.”
Crackle.
Of course, I heard that voice too.
By the way, there are two biological women riding in the carriage.
Winry, and Erina.
Even a passing dog could tell who the remaining one of the words ‘three’ refers to.
“How can you be so beautiful! Today, I feel like my eyes have been opened properly!”
At that moment, a man standing right in front of the carriage door suddenly grabs my hand.
“Please come down slowly. Oh, I am Raphael of the House of Perry. If you would give me the opportunity to escort the beautiful lady today, it would be an honor to the family… … .”
“Phew.”
Kirian couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
At that moment, my sense of reason suddenly snapped.
“… … Are your eyes for decoration?”
“yes?”
“Can’t you see I’m wearing men’s clothes?”
“……uh……?”
“Era!”
Boohoo!
I immediately kicked that sensitive face.
“Ugh!”
Butter fell to the ground, holding my nose.
“… … !”
And everyone watched the scene with great attention.
widely!
With a thud, Winry jumped down from the carriage.
“Oh, my. Sorry. I think he misstepped when he got off.”
Winry continued to explain, not really explaining, while sweating profusely.
The butter guy who had been rolling around on the floor until then suddenly got up from his seat.
“Ah, ahahaha! No, I’m not sick at all. I can make mistakes!”
“You’re not sick?”
At my muttering, Butter flinched.
Just look at those eyes.
While we’re on the subject, should I hit you one more time?
‘Will you stay still!? I told you not to cause trouble! I told you to please do me a favor! Ah, damn it! I’d rather die than suffer!’
Winry’s eyes began to tap dance left and right, up and down.
It was a strange experience to be able to fully understand what he was trying to say, even though he clearly didn’t open his mouth and didn’t have the ability to convey his intentions with mana.
