Clow Cards Cardcaptor

In the darkened ball hall, the figures in suits and dresses were quiet. The light bulbs focused on the pale young man on the stage. He took off the covering curtain, revealing an experimental device on the cart that was more than three meters high.

People's exclamations echoed in the hall...

Especially Tang Bing said "Wow——". Even Fang Ran, who had come into contact with participants' technology, was slightly surprised when he saw this large device.

What is this for?

The thought that everyone was curious about came to his mind.

"This is the result of my long-standing research. There has been a difficulty in the past few years. It was not until recently... that I finally completed it through an opportunity,"

"But what I want to show you tonight is not itself, but rather... a by-product of its experimentation."

Krim looked at all the guests in the hall and explained, and walked towards the console. Not forgetting the people who were worried about the operation of such a large device, he added with a warm smile:

"It's just a slight operation of 1% power, please don't worry."

And watching him start to set parameters, he seemed to be calm and accustomed to controlling such a large and cutting-edge device. There was no tension or pride.

Fangran felt inexplicably that he was in his own world at the moment, disconnected from the dance crowd.

Like a quiet child putting together his own building blocks...

Then, as Krim said, it was only running slightly. The huge experimental device only felt a little bright inside, and there was no sound after it was started.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a weak energy fluctuation,

Taking advantage of the dim light in the hall, Fang Ran quietly raised his eyebrows and glanced at Donald over there.

The slight operation only lasted a few seconds. Krim took out the collection dish from the other side. The organizer promptly opened the projection screen to enlarge the introduction, so that everyone could see that the dish looked like metal or crystal, some kind of Bright silver things.

"I accidentally discovered its existence in a recent experiment. It is not among any known materials..."

"Gourd? What is he talking about?"

On one side of the lower edge of the stage, Fang Ran asked quietly again in the darkness, and Tang Bing next to him also looked confused this time. He tried hard to translate, but the answer was still difficult and uncertain:

"It seems like we are introducing a new material, what properties and properties...? Hmm... no, there are too many complicated and professional vocabulary, and my French is not that good yet."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Hulu, you still need to work hard."

Senior, you are a scumbag with super powers. You should work harder for me!

Listening to Teacher Fang Ran's encouraging tone, and seeing his smacking his tongue and shaking his head, Tang Bing snorted fiercely with a slightly red face.

Then, just as they were interrupting their chat, Krim's figure on the stage bowed slightly and walked off the stage.

The guests in the entire hall gave gentle and formal applause. The light in the ball hall slowly returned to its previous bright and soft golden color, and the slightly brisk and high-spirited melody of the music sounded.

"Huh? Is this the end?"

Fangran watched the staff on the stage carefully send the big guy off again, and was a little surprised by the too brief display.

"This is a social venue, not a scientific research conference. Just simply show the results. After all, the people here tonight don't care about scientific research theories. They only care about the results and whether they can generate benefits."

The explanation of the wind elf Leofia rang in her ears, and she watched Krim's figure slowly coming off the stage.

Fangran watched everyone in the center of the ball hall move aside, and the band in the corner rose in pitch.

According to the dance tradition, the first dance is performed by the host of the venue.

"Get ready, the dance is about to begin."

Hearing Ao Feiya's reminder, Fangran saw a middle-aged man in the middle of the hall leading his female partner down the dance floor with a smile. After gracefully inviting the dance, his suit and evening dress spun melodiously in the music. dance steps.

"Hey...this is the dance...senpai, waltz..."

Seeing Tang Bing watching this scene with bright eyes, he chuckled slightly in his heart and finally achieved the purpose of bringing her here.

Fangran's own eyes quietly locked on Kerim's figure.

Then I found that his pale face, which always felt like he was feeling a lingering sense of loss, was actually filled with a touch of nervous anticipation that was tinged with joy, and he quickly walked towards a slim figure.

"Mel, I didn't expect you to be here too. When I saw you..."

Looking at the tall woman in the evening dress in front of him, Krim watched her open her mouth and was at a loss for words. In the end, he was so happy that he could only smile and say:

"I'm so happy."

"Um."

Seeing that he came to her immediately, Melandu'er nodded calmly after listening to these words, and then looked at him as if remembering and said:

"My father is having a business party next week and wants you to contact several people related to the research field and ask you to attend."

Her joy paused for a moment, and she tried to feel relieved for a second. Krim looked at her and nodded softly in agreement:

"Well, I'll go."

Then after hearing his answer that did not surprise her, Melandor turned her eyes calmly and introduced him to him:

"And here are some friends I just met. They have always been interested in you."

The expression on his face turned slightly stiff. Klim looked at the young men and women walking towards him with a gentle smile, facing the eyes that looked at him up and down.

The gentle words seemed to take a lot of effort.

"Very happy to meet all of you."

On the other side of the hall, covered by the crowd,

Fang Ran, who had been paying attention over there, looked at the woman next to Krim who had outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament, but always felt a little cold and arrogant.

"who is she?"

"Melandre Rossetti, she is the heir to a European aero-engine manufacturing company, a well-known French fashion model, a young philanthropist, and the object of countless men's pursuits. One of the few who can get in tonight by relying on her own status. young people,"

Hearing his slightly strange soft question, Osphia, who was observing Donald's every move, took a look and then spoke in a faint voice for some reason:

"In addition, she is the fiancée of Cream Clayshawn."

fiancée?

After hearing this fact, Fang Ran suddenly realized the joy on Kerim's face just now, but Tang Bing next to him was surprised and said directly:

"Ha!? She's actually my fiancée?"

"What happened to my fiancée?"

It was a little strange that she had such a big reaction, and then Fangran saw Tang Bing looking at him with a complex expression that looked like he was single and mentally retarded:

"Normally, would a fiancée not even smile when seeing her future husband?"

After being slightly startled, Fangran finally realized what he said.

Although the gentle joy on Krim's face came from the bottom of his heart, the person facing the other party's coldness and arrogance seemed to include him.

Can’t you even look down on such a super genius?

"Let's save this kind of talk until we have time."

Interrupting Tang Bing's emotional gossip and Fang Ran's surprise, Ophia glanced at the ball host who was about to finish the opening dance. Against the background of the Paris night, her blond hair was flying in the air, and the shimmer of the screen illuminated her blue eyes.

"The first dance at the ball is always with his female partner, and he must be with his fiancée. After that, he will respond to other people's social invitations,"

"So as soon as their dance is over, I'll lure them away...huh!?"

In the wind elf, when Osphia was only halfway through her words,

In the dance hall, the situation suddenly began to deviate from its original trajectory!

"I heard that you were accompanied by a gentleman when you came to Paris this time. Can you introduce him to me?"

He didn't know that the other side's plan against him was quietly unfolding. When he saw Melandor's cold and beautiful face lifting up, she actually took the initiative to initiate a topic with him. Krim was a little surprised, and then happily agreed.

"Are you talking about Mr. Donald? He is a very powerful man. I came to Paris this time just to take care of him. He is right there. I will take you there."

As she walked over, listening to Krim's gentle voice describing what she knew about Donald with a soft smile, Melandor's expression remained calm and she nodded occasionally.

Then just before the meeting, Krim hesitated for a moment, then looked at her and tried to make an invitation with a smile,

"Mel, we can dance in a minute..."

at this moment....

Melandu'er, who seemed not to have heard these words, walked towards the mature and upright male figure in front of her, put on a beautiful smile, her eyes flashed with a soft feminine light, gently lifted the skirts on both sides and said politely and elegantly:

"Good evening, Mr. Donald, can you dance with me?"

At this moment, Fangran saw very clearly that the expression on Kerim's face that was about to say something suddenly froze, and then changed back to the gentle and reluctant smile in a bit of confusion.

Tonight was obviously his most glorious moment as the protagonist of the ball, but he quietly melted into the depression deep in his smile that he felt when he first saw him...

And the sadness that has been silently accepted.
