No More Games.

He did his very best and just let the words flow out. 

Tiana who heard this looked him in the eye to see if he was joking before saying 

"No" 

In that moment, Zakaragi felt like he had been stabbed 50 times in his heart. 

"I-I see..." He muttered as he hung his head 

"I don't know how to dance, and besides, We can't leave Lydia here alon-" 

Before she could even finish, a random boy came up to Lydia asking her to dance. 

"U-Um, could I have this dance with you?" He asked 

He looked to be in his 16s and had wavy brown hair. It was hard to see from his suit but his frame looked well-built and he gave off the air of a gentle and nice young man. 

Lydia was about to refuse but then she remembered what John had said, she was supposed to enjoy herself. On top of that, this young man did put his feelings on the line to ask, declining would have been quite rude.
