LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 113 – Dancing with Ais.
I approached Ais and held out my hand. Ais looked at me without understanding my intention, so I smiled and respectfully asked her to dance.
Tiona, next to me, turned pale when she saw me asking Ais to dance. She probably thought I would ask her to dance. Don't worry about it, Tiona; I will dance with you later.
"You won't dance with me?" I made a sad expression at Ais, and she remained inexpressive. But she gave up and held my hand. Her hand was incredibly soft.
I smiled, satisfied, and we walked to the middle of the banquet. Ais was not wearing a very attractive outfit, but it was lovely. It was a different outfit than the one she wore in the anime.
It was a white shirt with gold details. A shirt with long sleeves and a small neckline. And she wore a pant. There are better outfits to come to a party, but who am I to judge her?
Since Ais has such a slender body, I would love to see her in a dress, preferably a short dress with a big neckline like Hestia's. Her breasts were not big, and this would make her even more elegant.
I have seen many models like her in my world. Only in magazines and on television, of course.
"I don't know how to dance, so excuse me if I end up stepping on your foot," I said to her. However, Ais said nothing, and we started dancing. I was kidding; I have some experience with dancing.
I have danced a few times at school parties and was forced to learn to dance for my sister's wedding. And incredibly, Ais had good moves. I realized we had caught the attention of almost the whole banquet.
We "stole" almost the entire "dance floor" for the two of us, dancing elegantly. I kept a smile on my face the whole time. I could see that Ais was indulging in this more and more.
Her expression had softened a little as well.
"You don't mind that you're drawing so much attention?"
"I don't mind it."
"I understand. But Bell is watching us, you know? You probably know how he feels about you." I could see Bell looking at us. He was standing in a corner, looking at us with a sad expression.
"Hm?" Ais didn't understand how Bell felt about her. I feel a little sorry for him.
"What do you think about dancing with Bell? Before he left home, he said he wanted to ask you to dance. But he's a little nervous."
"..."
"All right, we can stop now" I released Ais from my arms and continued holding her hand. I took her to where Bell was. He was shocked and seemed to want to run when he saw us approaching.
But I smiled, and he understood what I wanted to do.
"Here you go, have fun." I put Ais' hand in Bell's hand.
"W-What? Luan!"
"Have fun. I'm going to eat some food before I dance with Tiona." I waved and walked away. I could see Hermes looking at me; He gave a sarcastic smile.
I shrugged and went to Hestia's side. I joined her in devouring some of that food.

A long time had passed.
Some people started to go home, and Apollo still had yet to show up. Quite comical since it is a feast he has made. Even I already wanted to go home.
After I finished dancing with Tiona, I was pretty bored. There was no one interesting to talk to and nothing to do. The only thing I did was drink wine and eat.
And Hestia couldn't eat anymore.
And about Bell and Ais, they had danced together, but only for a few minutes. Even though I helped him so much, he didn't take the opportunity to get even closer to her. As soon as they finished dancing, the two of them walked away.
Ais went to where Tiona was, and Bell went to talk to Hermes about something.
"Goddess, what about we go home now? Apollo didn't even show up yet. I thought something interesting would happen, but I was wrong." I said to Hestia. I placed my empty cup on the table.
"We can go if you want. I can't stand eating anymore and have nothing to do here. Besides, that woman keeps staring at you." Hestia said low. She was talking about Freya, who focused all her attention on me.
Something I didn't want was happening. She is becoming obsessed with me.
"Let her keep looking at me. Even if she asks me to go to her Familia again, I won't go."
"What? Did she ask you that?" Hestia was getting ready to go to Freya, but I held her back.
"Wait a minute there, Goddess. Don't worry about this." I said too much.
"How can I let this go? That damn woman just tried to steal you from me!"
"Don't worry about it. She won't take me away from you." I smiled at Hestia, and she blushed. She returned to the table and grabbed something to eat, even though her stomach was full.
'Haaa~~ Bell is coming back.' I could see Bell approaching. However, my eyes were drawn to something else. From a large staircase, the owner of the party had finally appeared. After much waiting, Apollo was here.
His smile is bizarre as ever. Moreover, his gaze was focused on me, not on Bell. I confess that I was disgusted by how he looked at me. You know, I don't like men.
I have nothing against that kind of relationship, but I prefer women.
"Bell, the real event is going to start now!"
"Hm? What?" Bell asked, confused.
"Just watch." I punched Bell in the shoulder and started walking elegantly to meet Apollo.
