The party continues as everybody is having their desserts. Everybody was very much enjoying the food, though Zaizen constantly wondered about Sachi Imonoyama.
'What does this girl want?' he would constantly ask himself, wondering what damage she could bring.
"May I please have everybody's attention."
Everybody stared at the stage, only to find out it was the celebrant himself, Keigo Atobe.
"To officially open the dance floor, may I please call on Imonoyama Sachi-san to accompany me for the first dance." Atobe said, with much pride in his voice.
The spotlight was set on the said girl, who had just finished her crème brulee. Everybody stared at her, wondering why she was given the 'privilege'. She was shocked and so was Shiraishi.
'How could she have known Atobe-san?' he wondered.
Sachi reluctantly stood and finally walked towards the dance floor. All eyes were focused on her. Only now does Shiraishi notice her beautiful face against the light, her beautiful dress draping on her curves. Romanza is played and the couple started to dance.
"Ne Shiraishi-buchou, that Atobe guy is stealing your date." Zaizen said with a proud tone. "I knew she was mysterious."
"Mysterious in what way, Zaizen?" Chitose said, looking at Zaizen with curious eyes.
"Well, earlier, I overheard her conversation with Atobe-san. He told her that she should be with people of 'higher class'." Zaizen said.
"H-h-higher c-c-c-classss?" Koharu and Yuuji said, with serious murder intent.
"Regardless, they seem to know each other." Zaizen said.
"Ne Kenya. Can you tell us more about her?" Shiraishi asked.
Kenya kept silent, continuing to watch Sachi from afar.
"Kenya." Shiraishi said, shaking Kenya's shoulder back and forth.
Kenya still kept silent.
"Kenya!"
"No." he replied.
"What 'No'? How could you say 'no'?" Shiraishi said with a bugging voice.
"Maybe she's a secret agent, or a superhero, or even better, an ALIEN!" Kintaro said, jumping up and down.
Everybody stared at Kintaro with a we-are-not-that-stupid-to-believe-you look.
"Kin-chan. Don't make me take off these bandages here." Shiraishi said.
"H-h-hai!" Kintaro said, hiding behind Gin's back.
"Kenya. Please. Don't be stubborn." Shiraishi said
"No. Not now. Give her a little time." Kenya said.
"Okay." Shiraishi stopped bugging him, knowing that Kenya would get mad at him.
After the dance, Sachi immediately ran back to the group.
"Hey guys! What's going on?" Sachi said with much eagerness in her voice.
Everybody was quiet.
"Guys?"
"Oh! We were just talking about how pretty you were." Kenya said with a large grin pasted on his face.
"Kenya, I knew you for lots of years and I know you'd never tell me that." Sachi said in a braggy tone.
"I think you're pretty." Shiraishi said.
"Thanks." Sachi said with a little blush.
"May I have the honor of a dance?" Shiraishi said, kneeling like a perfect gentleman.
"Most certainly, sir." Sachi agreed.
After a couple of dances, some fun games and a large birthday cake, the party eventually ended smoothly.
"Take me home?" Sachi asked Shiraishi.
"Most certainly, madam." Shiraishi said, extending his arm for Sachi.
