Nikami POV
"Are you jealous because I danced... With him?" I asked her.
[ I nearly said her.... Thank god that I didn't...] I sighed
"N-no! Of course not! Why would I be?! W-why would I be jealous of you holding his soft warm hands...." She said glaring at me, though looking away red with that last part.
[Ah. She's a tsundere.] Is what I immediately thought.
"Do you wish to dance with me?" I asked her.
"Eh!? Why would I do that?!" She glared at me
"I danced with prince Raijin.... And if I dance with you, you are technically dancing with him." I suggested to her.
"..." She thought for a bit.... Then answered
"Ye-yes... That is indeed true..." She nodded to me.
[Ah kids are so gullible...] I thought as I smiled then knelt down and kissed her hand, almost copying Raijin.
"May I invite you to a dance Shukona-sama?" I asked her.
"Ve-very well...." She blushes a little bit, though her chin was still up.
[Oh? She stuttered...] I thought smiling to myself then stood up, still holding her hand.
"You better be good at this. Do you even know the male part?" She questioned me.
"Ahaha.... Well I don't..." I nervously laughed
"Then how can we dance when you don't know the male par-" I put my slender finger in the middle of her pink lips, shutting her up.
"Shhhhhh...." I shushed her up.
Her shocked face had a tint of pink.
[wait what did I just do?!!! Oh god!!! What have I done?! I wanted her to shut up because she was getting annoying!! Oh god oh god! How the heck can I do now?!!!] Somehow after all that my pokerface still was on me.
"You know sometimes you could just shut up. You look more cuter." I said the truth, while moving my finger away from her lips.
"cu-cute...?" She had a confused.... Yet happy? Face.
"Yes, anyways about the dance... The male part is just the female part but reversed. So I can do it." I nodded reassuringly.
"Yo-you better." She glared at me, still having a slight blush on her face.
We started doing the dance in the moon light, surrounded by flowers in the garden.
After we were finally done...
"I had a wonderful time Shukona-sama... I hope you had too" I kissed her hand, imitating Raijin again.
"You..... Were alright. I guess..." She put her chin up high. Still having a light blush on her face.
I looked at her giggling a bit.
"What's so funny?" She asked me, glaring again.
"nothing... Should we go back? They might be confused to why we went here." I asked, still looking at her.
"hmph. Very well." She said, while going back in.
I was left there laughing a bit
"Aha... She forgot why we even came here in the first place... Kids are so cute..." I laughed again.
"Yet you forgot about me. I was jealous you know." I heard a familiar voice behind me, and I immediately turned around. And there she was on a tree branch, prince(ss) Raijin.
"Raijin? You were there?" I was confused
"well... Yea... I was a bit concerned about you know the villaness. But well... You handled it perfectly!" she laughs from up the tree
I looked up at her and put my arms on my hips and then pouted "Get down there! You might get hurt! Your a princess! You should be graceful!" I pouted and yelled at her.
"Ahaha! Princess, I'm supposed to be a prince remember? And don't worry. I'm used to climbing trees!" She laughed, being carefree.
"I know you are! But Raijin your an a childs body! Its dangerous!" I pouted.
"Ah! Geez... Fine fine! I'll get dow-KYAAAA!!" Raijin's smug face immediately turned into a scared one when her small body fell down from the tree.
Seeing Raijin in danger my first instinct was to cast a spell. A wind spell.
"
"KYAAAAA-huh...?" Raijins small body hovered in the air and I ran to her. Then putting my hands under her, then when the spell wore off she was in my arms. I was carrying her, bridal style.
"Geez.... You should have been careful Raijin..." I pouted yet again, sighing about her move.
"I-Um-.....what.... Just happened? I was...." Raijin was very confused, her face was red due to me carrying her in the bridal style.
"You were floating yes.... It was my magic..." I laughed nervously while I get her back up on her feet.
"Seriously?! You know how to use magic?! And morever.... Not casting?! How?!" Raijin's eyes were shot wide open.
"I um... Ehehe...." I scratched the back of my head.
Raijin smiled and laughed nervously "Geez.... Even here your overpowered...?"
"Eh? What do you mean I'm overpowered...? And even back then?" I asked, really confused
"Still very dense huh.... What are you a protagonist? Anyways.... Back in our last life you were.... Really popular... And well... Smart... And not that athletic.... But you had more stamina than me.... A delinquent... I sometimes even wonder why you hang out with someone like me..." Raijin scratched the back of her neck.
I pouted and punched her on the head gently .
"O-ow...? Why did you do that princess?!" She holds the part where I hit her and looks at me, confused.
"Don't ever say that you idiot!" I pouted even more to her.
"Your my childhood best friend.... I'll always stay be your side...." I gently smiled at her.
"I-I mean... Yea But... Like... I turned into a delinquent....." She sighed.
"But you still protected me like back then... Right? You didn't care about what your delinquent friends thought about you protecting a so called popular kid like me..." I smiled and wrapped my arms around her warmly.
Raijin blushed and hugs me back "I guess... "
"And you were so adorable back then too!" I giggled while I was hugging her.
"Adorable?! Me?! Wh-what..." Her face was very red.
