Ben stood at the entrance of the ballroom that was much greater than the previous mansion.

Grand white chandeliers decorated the ceiling with no signs of a typical buffet table in the middle of the venue.

A great orchestra played classical music for guests to enjoy and famous performers were invited to show off great illusions through dancing and singing.

"Thank you for coming to my event," Ben greeted the couple before us.

"Hey Rika!" Ben brightly smiled at me after the couple went into the ballroom.

"Are you the host here?" I asked.

If Ben was the host, this meant that this was one of his family's mansions. I wondered if I could find some games and light novels here just like his villa.

'Maybe I should sneak out of the ballroom later to see if there's any room like Ben's villa,' I thought.

"Yea, thanks for coming." Ben sheepishly replied while his partner greeted Luke.

"I heard alot about you Rika!" A girl wearing a simple white gown brilliantly smiled.

"You are?" I asked from her sudden friendly greeting.

"My name is Alice Nuelle Carsen." Alice grabbed both of my hands.

She was Ben's partner! The mysterious partner of Ben that I never got to see.

Unfortunately, we couldn't continue the conversation when Ben noticed the long line of guests behind us.

"We'll have to talk later together," Ben apologized to us.

"Lunch is served in a separate dining quarter on the second floor," Luke said to me while I searched for the familiar buffet table.

"Rika!" Ellen greeted me once she noticed Luke and I entering the ballroom.

"How many events did you go to before this?" I asked with great curiosity.

"This is actually our first event," Ellen replied with a bit of shame in her voice.

"It's ok, this is actually our second event," I tried to console Ellen.

"Isn't this way to early for it to be your second event?" Allan joined our conversation.

"Things happened in our last event," Luke smiled dazzlingly in response.

From our last event, I learned that the brighter and stiffer Luke's smile got, the more trouble I was in. This meant that Luke was still enraged from the last event.

Both Allan and Ellen nodded like they indirectly knew what Luke was talking about.


"Well, I'll stay here with Ellen so you can mingle with Allan and his friends," I glanced at the spot that Allan stood before coming to greet us.

Since I was with Ellen this time, Luke hesitantly followed Allan as he introduced Luke to his friends.

Two floors made up the ballroom. Guests could dine on the second floor while looking at the first floor to see a inflow of more guests entering the ballroom.

"Want to go to the second floor?" I asked Ellen as I planned to sneak out of the ballroom.

"Sure, I haven't been to the second floor yet." Ellen innocently replied unaware of my plans.

We walked up the stairs to go to the second floor.

"There isn't much here," I mumbled to myself as it was filled with elegant dining tables and chairs.

"Well, it is the dining quarters where they'll be serving lunch." Ellen nonchalantly muttered.

The dining area was empty except for waiters and waitresses placing utensils and napkins on the tables to prepare for lunch.

"Hey, what's that?" I asked Ellen when I spotted a closed off area at the edge of dining area.

"Probably where the staff go up and down between the floors," Ellen casually guessed.

I leaned more and more against the railings to study the closed off area as I wondered if the closed off area was actually a way to enter the other parts of Ben's mansion.

The railings were tall as the height of my shoulders, so I was confident that I could lean even further to find a opening to enter the closed off space.

"Rika!" Ellen yelled when I found myself falling unexpectedly from the second floor from a wide space between the bars of the railing.

'Huh?' I thought as guests stopped their conversations to watch a girl suddenly falling from the second floor and onto the stage.

I felt the time slow down in the air as Ellen quickly ran down the stairs with great panic while the other guests didn't stop staring at the girl with widened pumpkin eyes that was falling from the second floor.

I soon found myself caught by one of the dancers on the stage when I expected to land on the hard floor.

"My mistake?" I awkwardly explained to the dancer as the choreography was interrupted from my sudden appearance.

When I looked down from the stage, I found all the guests looking up at the stage with great wonder and curiosity.

Ben and Alice now stood in the edge of the ballroom frozen from shock instead of continuing to greet the incoming guests as Luke hung his head down in despair while Allan and his friends tried to console him.

Instead of going down from the stage, I danced some steps of ballet that I learned in kindergarten and elementary school while all the other dancers stood there unmoving from the surprise.

After I finished a simple solo without any music from the orchestra, I bowed to the audience while the dancers and singers watched me in wonder, "Thank you for watching this play."
