"Eh, the student council's welcome dance? Is it tonight? "
It had been two days since the Matthews family was annihilated in Gudilesi. But this time, because of the involvement of the upper echelons, the incident was deliberately downplayed. Most people only knew that there was a big fire near the garrison that night. Lolo did not know that Rob did so many things after sending her back to school that night. The latter returned to school the next morning as if nothing had happened.
Lolo was busy investigating the chef with the spider tattoo on his arm. In the afternoon, she asked about twenty more restaurants and just came back from outside. When she received the invitation, she looked a little surprised.
Louisa sat on the steps outside Lolo's dormitory, chewing on a soft candy he got from somewhere. "Yes, this is a tradition of the Siamos Academy. The venue is the academy's auditorium. The time is tonight at nine o 'clock. In the past, the welcome dance was in March, but this year, it's earlier."
"Is there a reason?"
The female archer shrugged. "I'm just an errand boy. I don't know what those big shots think. By the way, let me remind you that all newcomers have to attend the welcome dance. "
Lolo frowned. "But I've already handed in my resignation."
"Well, that's true, but your department's boss has been on vacation recently. She hasn't signed your resignation, so strictly speaking, you are still a member of our student council." Louisa handed the box of soft candy to Lolo. "Do me a favor and just cooperate with me. Even if you go there for a few minutes, it's fine. Anyway, my task is to inform everyone. If you leave midway, it has nothing to do with me."
To be honest, Lolo had no interest in this kind of dance. After finding a way to become stronger quickly, she basically devoted her night time to training her elemental control. She did not want to be distracted by other things, but she could not resist Louisa's pleading. In the end, she nodded and agreed. "Okay, I'll go tonight."
"Junior sister, you're the best. I'll give you this box of jelly beans." The female archer was overjoyed. She patted her butt and stood up. She was in a good mood after completing her task. She hummed a tune and took two steps forward, but then she turned her head again. "By the way, just to be on the safe side, I still have to remind you that … have you prepared clothes for the ball?"
"Hmm?" Lolo, who was planning to practice her illumination spell in the remaining time, was taken aback. "Clothes? What clothes? "
Louisa sighed and pointed at the standard magic apprentice uniform she was wearing. "Don't tell me you want to wear this to the ball? Even if I have to force myself to participate, I should at least put on a perfunctory front. How about this, your figure is about the same as mine, and I happen to have an extra gown. I'll lend it to you first. "
Lolo shook her head. "No, I'm not going to dance anyway. It doesn't matter what I wear."
"Ha, unless you want to be the center of attention at the beginning of the night, you'd better try to be consistent with the others." The female archer snapped her fingers and made the decision for Lolo. "It's settled then. I still have to inform the others. I'll send the gown to you before the ball begins."
Louisa did not go back on his word. Sure enough, half an hour before the ball began, he brought the gown to Lolo's dorm. She also changed into a very handsome blue gown and wore a wide-brimmed lady's hat with a small bow wrapped in silk. It looked very majestic.
"Hurry up and change. The ball is about to begin." Louisa urged from the side. He had already helped Lolo close the curtains.
However, when Lolo opened the box, she was stunned. The gown inside the box was obviously priceless. It was pure black velvet, and the collar was embroidered with complex dark gold patterns. There were twelve diamonds as buttons. Other than that, there were no other extravagant embellishments. However, it was this extremely simple design and the strong visual impact of the contrast between black and white that gave the gown an indescribably noble aura.
"Wait, is this really yours?" Intuition told Lolo that something was wrong. The gown in her hands was much more expensive than the one the female archer was wearing. No, these two gowns were not even on the same level. Although the one Louisa was wearing was also very beautiful, the fabric and workmanship were very ordinary. On the other hand, the one in Lolo's hands was obviously made by a famous designer. From the design to the style, it was all top notch.
The female archer blinked. "Does it matter whose gown it is?"
Luo Luo shook her head and closed the box. "I'm sorry. I don't accept things from strangers."
"Hey, don't be so stingy. It's only for one night. We can't borrow other clothes at this time." Louisa's smile revealed a hint of slyness.
"So that's what senior sister was thinking. You purposely chose to come half an hour before the ball starts so that I have no other choice." Lolo mercilessly exposed the female archer's little trick.
Louisa embarrassedly said, "This gown actually belongs to the student council. It was left behind by a senior. This is also an unwritten rule of the ball. Only the prettiest girl among the freshmen can wear this gown on the night of the ball. In the past, this kind of thing would cause a lot of disputes among the girls. But this time, because you are here, there is a lot less trouble. So, junior sister, please cooperate. Everyone wants to see how you look in this gown. This is also my main mission tonight. "
Hearing this, Lolo was unmoved. Just when Louisa was feeling disappointed, the rookie The Brave suddenly said, "If I remember correctly, every mission of the student council has an additional reward. Senior sister, how much will you get for completing this mission?"
The female archer hesitated for a moment and extended a hand.
"Fifty silver coins?" The rookie The Brave raised an eyebrow.
"Five gold coins," Louisa said honestly. Royce replied honestly, "The student council did a special evaluation on this, and they felt that it would be difficult to get you to wear this dress based on your personality."
The female archer didn't know why he asked this question. In the end, she saw Lolo tilt her head and thought for a moment. "Give me half."
"Junior sister, you are really …" Hearing this, the female archer suddenly had a look of joy on her face. "… Really unusual. But I like your personality. Very good. Later, you will wear this gown to the ball, and then we will split the money. Hehehehe."
Although he was already mentally prepared, when Louisa saw Lolo put on the black gown, he couldn't help but let out a heartfelt sigh of admiration. "Oh my god, this gown seems to be tailor-made for you. I have seen others wear this gown before, but only you can really bring out your soul in this gown. You will definitely be the focus of tonight's ball."
The female archer's words weren't compliments, but sincere feelings from the bottom of her heart. In fact, everyone who saw Lolo tonight was indescribably stunned. The girl had an invisible majesty about her, and together with this black gown, she was like a bright moon in the night sky. Looking at her made people adore her, but at the same time, they didn't dare to have any blasphemous thoughts.
