“Off you go.”

The ground stood up straight, right up to the sky, all topsy turvy.

Down she fell, then she went splat, like a strawberry.

Some people, I can do without.

I mean, I really wanted the little kitty.

And now the little kitty was mine.

Chapter 3: Who killed Cock Robin? It was him, said the sparrow.

The moment Ernst finished his dance with Nicola, his master called for him so they could go off somewhere. Having persisted in her meaningless struggle with Ernst during the dance, Nicola felt like she had expended all of her stamina.

Soon after she moved next to the wall, she exhaled and rested her back against it. Thirty minutes had passed since the ball started, some rest was allowed, and she saw a few other students doing the same as she had done.

Beside them, many tables were set up next to the wall with drinks and snacks. While some peckish students took this opportunity to satisfy their cravings, others continued dancing.

With nothing better to do, Nicola surveyed her surroundings when she suddenly felt someone tug on the hem of her dress. As she looked to see whose hand it was, she found it belonged to her junior apprentice.

The spell of concealment exorcists used diverted the attention of onlookers and allowed one to blend into one’s surroundings. If one took some action that another person could not help but notice, one would become visible to that person.

“What...?” inquired Nicola.

“Now that you’re done with that bizarre dance of yours, you can guard me,” said Char, thrusting both hands toward a plate piled with food.

Upon glancing at the table, Nicola did not attempt to hide her exasperation.

“What are you, one of the hungry ghosts?” she muttered, referring expressly to the spirits identified by Buddhist tradition.

After deftly giving Nicola a shrug even as he continued grabbing food, Char casually responded, “Though I may be nobility now, I got my start here in a slum. I picked up a habit of stuffing my face whenever I got to eat.”

“Ooh, it’s hard to know what to do with an answer like that...” said Nicola.

“Well, of course, that was on purpose,” said Char, then laughed heartily.

Nicola awkwardly scratched the side of her face before sighing.

If she remembered correctly, Char’s mother had been an indentured servant in a marquess’ household when the lord had put his hands on her, resulting in her becoming pregnant with Char. Once this became known to the lady of the house, Char’s mother was literally kicked out out of the house.

“Well, thanks to my big sis going to work so quickly, my life in the slums didn’t last that long, and I think that was valuable life experience. More importantly, my arms are getting tired. Would you hurry up and guard me?”

With this spell of concealment, anything one wore or picked up would at least blend into one’s surroundings. Thus someone invisible might also find their clothes also turned invisible.

But if one happened to bump into a person while eating, one would naturally become visible to that person.
