Chapter:35 Party pt-2
"Mayumi, Erik had finally arrived at the party, let's go meet him!....."
Mari wore a white dress which resembled the dress worn by Portuguese noble ladies, the old design from the era of pirates was very famous all over the world.
Normally, Mari never applied any kind of makeup on her face but today, she was dressed like a proper noble lady who looked absolutely charming.
Even though she was only a few inches taller than Mayumi, the dress suited her perfectly, adding to her natural allure.
"Yeah, let's meet Erik-san....."
Mayumi looked absolutely stunning in her crimson coloured backless dress, her crimson eyes and a rather long red ribbon intervened within her hair complimented her beauty.
Two golden coloured necklaces hung from her neck, highlighting her smooth jade-like skin.
True to her title as the [Elven Princess], Mayumi truly surpassed all sense of beauty.
Both of the ladies attracted a lot of attention to them, not only due to them being so beautiful but also due to their status.
Surely, they couldn't approach Mayumi carelessly due to her being the Eldest daughter of the Saegusa Family whereas they abandoned the thought of entertaining Mari, after seeing the person standing next to her.
Mari turned towards the young man standing beside her and spoke in a soft voice.
"I wanna introduce you to him, Nao...."
"You being friends with a Saltzman is rather surprising but I am looking forward to meeting your friend....."
Chiba Naotsugu is the second son of the Chiba Family. He is currently in a relationship with Watanabe Mari.
Naotsugu possesses delicate features, enough to label him a beautiful young man. He has a medium build and is slightly taller than Shiba Tatsuya.
Naotsugu is a student at the [National Defense Academy] in the [Special Warfare Technology Research Department]. He has already made a name for himself as a Second-Lieutenant in the reserves.
He is a member of a guerrilla infantry platoon of the National Defense Forces' First Division, known as the "Sword Corps".
As a swordsman, he has mastered the "Art of the Thousand Blades". He is reputed to be one of the finest close combat specialists in the world to within three meters, known as the "Child Prodigy of the Chiba".
He has even cooperated with the Thai Royal Magicians, serving in the capacity as a swordsmanship instructor.
"Illusion Blade" was Naotsugu's original nickname.
A highly accomplished individual who had a gentle nature, around him Mari would unconsciously start acting more like a cute girl rather than keeping the strict persona she usually maintains.
"Erik is probably the most understanding bigshot you will ever meet. His calm persona is nigh unbreakable, you will surely like to converse with him....."
"Hey! What about me!? Aren't I a big-shot too.....!?"
Mayumi walked closer to Mari as she quietly asked her this question while maintaining a calm facade over her face to avoid others from making any assumptions about her words.
"You are the nicest bigshot! Happy now?..."
"Yes..."
"...."
Naotsugu had a smile on his face he observed his girlfriend enjoying the conversation with the young daughter of the Saegusa Family.
Due to his duties, he wasn't able to spend much time with his girlfriend, not to mention that his clan wasn't too happy with his choice of partner. He didn't want Mari to be alone, so now after he learned about her being friends with Mayumi and Erik.
It made him release a sigh in relief, gratitude also emerged within his heart as he excitedly thought about the upcoming meeting with the Saltzman.
The three of them made elegantly made their way towards the eastern portion of the main hall.
(Meanwhile)
"Haha.....well, if I told Mr.Spencer how I did it, would it a secret anymore....?"
"Hahaha...nicely played!...."
"Hahaha..."
Erik acted as if he was enjoying his time conversing with the businessmen that surround him, Mei quietly stood behind Erik, answering some questions through her way.
Suddenly three individuals entered Erik's field of vision.
"Alright me, gentlemen, I will excuse myself for a bit and greet a few friends before we continue with our talk....."
"Haha....no problem Erik-san, enjoy yourself at the party, no need to bother with us...."
"Excuse me...."
Erik excused himself from their encirclement and moved towards the three individuals who he previous saw through the corner of his eyes.
Looking at the three of them, Erik recognized Mari dressed like a proper lady rather than her usual tomboyish look, following behind her was the famous Chiba prodigy, Chiba Naotsugu.
Erik's eyes observed the duo with a smile on his face as he finally shifted his eyes towards the left of Mari.
His eyes widened as the third person finally entered his vision, unlike the previous time, Erik stared at the third figure for a good couple of second before to regained his ever-calm composure.
Though his face didn't have any chance of expressions, Mari still noticed his lingering gaze at Mayumi who was standing beside her with a happy smile on her face.
Being as observative as she was, Mari quickly came to a conclusion and internally smirked towards Mayumi.
She leaned towards left, where her friend was standing and softly whispered to her.
"Congratulations Mayumi! Erik had been staring at you for a couple of seconds, now you know that he isn't immune to your charm.....hehehe!....."
Hearing Mari's words, a blush crept onto Mayumi's face as she tried to maintain her smiling face, she looked towards Erik with a slightly lost expression.
Erik himself looked extremely handsome, so much so that it totally drowned the attention on her. He just looked fabulous in the suit he was wearing.
"Damn! Call the police, so much handsomeness is illegal!..."
"..."
"Nao, you must take a lesson on dressing-up with Erik, look at him, looks like a sculpture of gods, luckily I have you in my heart or I might have gotten smitten by him, just like Mayumi here....."
"Huh? No!....shut up, Mari!...."
Mayumi immediately broke out of her stupor as she glared towards Mari with a suppressed expression.
"Pft!...hahaha!...."
Seeing Mayumi's adorable reaction, Mari burst into laughter whereas Nao just smiled at their antics.
"I finally found you guys....."
Erik closed the distance between them and arrived near the spot they were standing on.
