Chapter 14 - Yggdrasil Advent Introduction
The question that contained a trap made me the center of attention of Elysia's friends.
The Elf who was asking the question that managed to trap me had light blue hair like the sky and a cold facial expression like snow falling on a bright winter.
In contrast to Elysia who had a gentle side and high affection according to her pink hair color like cherry blossom petals, it gave a contrasting impression to each other.
An Elf who was too affectionate and an Elf who looked cold to her surroundings, that's what was on my mind right now.
"Is there something wrong with my statement?" I asked to divert the attention of the people who were looking at me.
Unexpectedly, the four Elves who attracted attention sat next to my chair which was in the corner and away from the spotlight. Of course that would make me... looks like... do something to them and sharp eyes immediately turned towards me.
From this distance, I could feel someone taking a picture of me from a distance when talking to the Yggdrasil Advent Idol group.
"There's nothing wrong with that statement, it's just..." with her icy blue eyes, I could feel the overflow of her magical energy analyzing my weak body.
"It's just that you seem to know something about this incident much better than the inter-world police," she continued as if giving me a bait to talk further about my thoughts on the case they were experiencing.
"Normal people would also know that crossing the gate between worlds requires complicated approval. If they can carry out inter-world prostitution like that, isn't it only natural that we know that there are insiders who have access to bypass the tight security of the gate that connects to another world," I replied while giving a small, random hypothesis.
The hypothesis may sound random but it has a close connection to the tight security that should be in place to process visas and passports between different worlds.
The security that should have been tighter could not possibly be penetrated without the intervention of the people involved in it.
It would be suspicious if they were not involved and covered up traces that were always related to them.
"It was Nice... for good accusation, may I formally introduce myself to you?" the Elf girl immediately stood up from her seat and immediately approached my chair in the corner.
I, who was sitting next to Elysia, also got a small touch from Elysia's shoes that touched mine.
Her wink seemed to say to act normally without making her jealous as a Maid who was disguised as a famous Idol girl. Elysia seemed to look at me with a gaze full of tenderness and respected me as her Master who was trying to get acquainted with one of her Elf friends.
"Ah! should I formally introduce myself too?" asked Elysia who suddenly stood up to formally introduce herself to me.
"Elysia, do you want to formally introduce yourself after previously talking intimately with him?" replied the Elf girl who still hadn't given her name.
"Is it wrong to do a formal self-introduction late like this?" replied Elysia, tilting her head as if thinking about something.
"How about we all formally introduce ourselves to our classmates?" continued Elysia's words, giving a suggestion to give introductions to me.
I, who just sat still in my chair, then stood up.
The introduction that invited people's gazes made me sweat cold after previously getting cynical glances and sharp gazes filled with jealousy.
Among all that, I could feel my smartphone vibrating continuously as if getting incoming messages non-stop from one of the social media applications installed on my smartphone.
I could only respond to this with my slow breath and try not to get too excited about myself being in the public eye like this.
Elysia's hand immediately pulled my hand to shake hers. The smooth hand movement looked like Elysia wanted to do a formal introduction with her cheerful attitude.
"This may feel strange... my name is Elysia Ai. The first member of the Idol group Yggdrasil Advent and the center who has captivated many of my fans' hearts," said Elysia with her self-introduction that seemed to force herself to shake hands with me.
In my own eyes, Elysia looked like an Elf girl who wanted to shake hands with me for the first time.
"My name is Weiss Guderian... as you have heard before," I said giving a formal reply to Elysia and her Elf friends.
My hand that was shaking hands with Elysia suddenly stopped after Elysia's hand was touched by an Elf girl who had a cold expression and had been chatting with me earlier.
"Elysia, how long are you going to shake hands with him? I know that Weiss looks friendly to us, but don't make him feel awkward like that. Especially with the gazes of people who seem to know us as an Idol group that is famous for selling expensive handshake tickets," she said while separating my hand from Elysia's grip.
The touch of her cold hand made me feel like an icy cliff was crashing into my hand.
"Eh? But I want to feel the warmth of Weiss's hand longer," Elysia grumbled, giving me a soft smile.
The Elf girl who had cold characteristics immediately ignored Elysia's words and rushed to shake my hand.
"Weiss... let me introduce myself, my name is Rina Ai. The second member who is often unable to show my facial expression and feels cold like this. I hope you don't mind my face that often doesn't show expressions like this," she said while giving me a handshake that felt cold like ice.
"I don't mind at all with your facial expression that looks flat all the time. That makes me have to pay more attention to you to find out your mood when you're upset or happy," I replied while giving Rina a warm introductory handshake.
Listening to my unusual reply, I could see her lips lifting upwards as if she was smiling and slowly her face was filled with a pink blush.
"Thank you very much for your concern in my strange and unique condition," she replied while turning her face away to not see my gaze.
Her cute and sweet attitude made me almost lose control of myself who reflexively wanted to pull her cheeks so that she could smile even wider.
Rina then slowly released her handshake and gave me a gentle gaze like ice that had just melted in the sunlight.
"I'm happy because there is someone who tries to understand me like this," Rina muttered softly whose hand was suddenly pulled by Elysia.
"Rina, do you feel happy when Weiss tries to understand you who is as stiff as ice on a frozen mountain peak," said Elysia with a cheerful smile.
Thanks to Elysia's words that sounded cheerful like that, the introduction continued until two Elf girls were in front of me with their hands trying to give me a handshake alternately.
The two Elf girls who were currently waiting for a response to my handshake had opposite hair colors. Hair that shone like golden yellow and another one with stunning black hair. It made me want to understand their characteristics that seemed opposite to each other.
"Hitomi Ai," said one of the Elf girls with her stunning black hair.
"Chizuru Ai," said one of the Elf girls with her hair shining golden yellow.
The introduction that felt strange made me accept a handshake that felt... unique.
My right hand was shaking hands with Chizuru Ai while my left hand was shaking hands with Hitomi Ai.
My two hands that were shaking hands gave a strange sight from the people around me and my smartphone vibrated even more as if getting a message from someone who knew my smartphone's sim card number.
"I can cast holy magic related to divinity. If you are feeling unlucky or getting a curse from someone, I can help you to be purified by the divine magic that I have," said Chizuru Ai along with her hand movements that tugged at my handshake.
"Unlike Chizuru, I can manipulate dark magic that will make curses and bad luck befall you. If you want to curse someone, please come to me without my friends knowing," Hitomi Ai said with a mysterious smile on her face.
"Hitomi... you won't do that under my supervision, right?" Chizuru said, suddenly interrupting Hitomi's introduction.
"See that, Weiss? Make sure to meet me without being seen by my cute friends," Hitomi replied with a small wink in her eyes.
I could only sigh lightly after such a heavy introduction.
For some reason unknown to me, it seemed like my introduction to this popular Idol group would become new gossip material about a human who managed to do the longest handshake with an Idol group in the history of human life.
"For the convenience of confidential information about me, how about we share each other's social media contact information so that it is easier for us to meet secretly," Hitomi said while taking out her smartphone and showing me a QR code of her contact.
That made several other Elf girls immediately turn their eyes towards me.
"Hitomi, you are so clever in using a method like that. If so, I will do the same!" said Elysia with a cheerful tone of voice and gave her contact information via QR code.
Rina and Chizuru also did the same.
Without me realizing, the rapid development of my social activities today had made me get four personal contracts from Idol groups that were having big problems.
"Is it okay for me to get your contacts like this?" I grumbled a little while scanning their QR code until I got a personal contract from a famous Idol group.
My eyes suddenly saw a message from Elliot and Momoka.
The message from Elliot was jealous of me who could naturally approach the Idol group while the message from Momoka made me sweat cold.
The message sent by Momoka showed a photo of herself trying on this Special High School uniform but with the main focus on her underwear that looked see-through.
It made my pants tight and suddenly Elysia's face filled my view.
"Master... why are you doing looking at this perverted Succubus photo?" Elysia whispered with her eyes filled with a gaze that expected an immediate answer from me.
"Elysia, didn't I tell you not to call me Master in public," I replied in a whisper without being heard by Elysia's Elf friends.
"I know... but..." Elysia whispered who suddenly noticed my uniform pants that were tight because of my erection.
Looks like I'm in trouble.
