As the night deepened, so did the atmosphere of the banquet.

"Are you sure we don't need to eat outside? The food here at the banquet is good, but it doesn't actually fill you up."

"Well, it's not that late yet."

Just enjoying this atmosphere was enough.

A peaceful world.

The vision of the continent that my companions and I had wanted to create.

Of course, a new threat had shown itself on this continent, but the situation was much better than it had been a thousand years ago. Even without the presence of gods, the humans of this continent had developed their own systems and were prepared to face the demons. And there was also the help of the 'Adventurers from the Stars.'

Chris, her bare hand brushing lightly against my exposed shoulder, recoiled in surprise.

Chris had been slightly flushed all day. She kept staring at me intently, her eyes occasionally glazing over as her breathing quickened.

It wasn't just Chris. The young nobles around us were also showing strange reactions. Whenever I caught someone sneaking glances at me, they would blush and quickly look away.

I glanced down at the pure white dress I was wearing.

Was it because of this?

They say clothes make the person, after all. While I knew I had a pretty face, I hadn't received this kind of reaction when I was in my adventurer’s outfit.@@novelbin@@

The food had been cleared, leaving only drinks, and the music in the hall changed.

The nobles and their children began to move differently. The men asked the women to dance, and soon they were taking each other's hands and heading to the center of the hall.

"Oh, it's dance time!"

Chris clenched her fists in excitement.

This was the highlight of high society—the ball.
