Idan finally came to his senses and realized that he actually couldn't dance.
"I can't dance!" He spoke softly, so that only Arabel could hear him.
She looked at him in surprise, as if asking: "Then why did you agree to this dance?"
— Isn't this your task? — he answered her look.
— Follow my movements, I'll show you everything! — Arabel decided to take the role of presenter, since it was her task. Thanks to her upbringing, she went to dance lessons and was able to dance at a decent level.
They waited for the music to end, went out onto the dance floor hand in hand and, finding an empty seat, stood face to face. Many people were looking at them, and Arabel, taking the initiative, helped Idan hug her and began giving him instructions.
As soon as a new song started playing, the couple joined the rest of the dancers. Unfortunately, Idan couldn't immediately adjust to Arabel's movements, and his movements looked awkward. Many who watched them immediately realized that he couldn't dance.
Irene, looking at her brother, sighed softly. She couldn't understand why he had agreed to the invitation of this girl from the Morgan family.
Arslan, in turn, was tormented by the question: why did his older sister, who always shunned boys, suddenly take the initiative and invite Irene's younger brother Idan to dance? He couldn't find an answer to this question, because everything looked too strange. First, she sat down next to his table, and now she's dancing...
Arabel's fiance, Christopher, couldn't help but smile as he watched the pair's awkward movements surrounded by more experienced dancers. He gently hugged the two girls, who, in turn, happily shared their comments with him and laughed at Arabel and Idan.
Christopher managed to improve his mood, which had deteriorated due to Arabel's behavior.
Gradually, Idan began to get used to his partner's movements, and his stiffness began to subside. Finally, he was able to relax and start enjoying dancing with a beautiful girl.
They were pressed close together, and Idan inhaled the scent of her perfume with floral notes. Even through the suit, he could feel her curves touching him so pleasantly. Like many young people, he began to feel aroused, and his face turned red. He tried to calm down, but things only got worse when he looked at Arabel's beautiful, focused face.
Arabel completely immersed herself in the dance, matching the music and dragging Idan with her. She didn't notice how Idan was staring intently at her face, and his cheeks were noticeably flushed.
So, they continued dancing until a few minutes of torment ended for Idan along with the last note of the composition.
[Congratulations, host! The task is completed!] Arabel heard as soon as the music stopped and everyone froze.
She was breathing heavily. She did not expect that it would be so difficult to lead someone in the dance, especially someone who did not know how to dance.
[The reward for completing the task will be available after you awaken!]
[Additional task has been issued! Ask your partner out on a date!]
Arabel was surprised, not having time to be happy that she had successfully completed the task, as the System presented her with a new "Additional task".
"How is that, System? Did you make a mistake? Should a girl ask a guy out on a date? It usually happens the other way around!" — Arabel was indignant. It wasn't easy enough for her to ask Idan to dance, and now the System demands that she invite him herself?
[...] The system went silent and did not respond anymore.
Taking advantage of the moment of respite, Idan pulled away from Arabel and began to perform breathing exercises, trying to calm down and regain his breath. He noticed that Arabel was completely focused on something else, and assumed that she was currently communicating with the System, discussing the task.
[The system apologizes. The task was designed taking into account the cultural characteristics of the female-dominated world. The system took into account that the owner of the "Supreme Wife System" must be a strong woman. After receiving more detailed information about this world, the System decided to redirect the task to another host!]
After some silence, the System decided to apologize to Arabel and redirected the task to Idan. In a short time, she learned about the culture of this world.
If the System had told Idan this, he would have asked if it had taken into account the culture of the other world when writing the marriage proposal task. And he would have received an affirmative answer.
For Idan, the System took as an example the culture of the world where a strong man should immediately propose to his beloved woman on the same day and challenge all other men who are against it.
And for Arabel, the System used a world ruled by women as an example. However, given the differences in the cultures of the two worlds, which she took into account, these examples began to come into conflict. The system decided to change its approach and address the culture of the host world. Due to the restrictions, she could not change the content of the tasks already issued, but she could redirect them.
Arabel didn't know what Idan's task was, and it didn't bother her too much. She was glad that she was able to get rid of her assignment by forwarding it to Idan. At the same time, she began to mentally prepare for the fact that Idan would ask her out on a date, and she would not be able to refuse him.
[Additional task has been issued! Ask your partner out on a date!] Idan suddenly heard the System's voice in his head. This news came as a complete surprise to him, as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over his head.
"What the hell, the System!" swore Idan. This was the third task he had received.
[This task was originally intended for your future "Wife," but after the System learned about the culture of relationships in this world, she decided to hand it over to you. Due to restrictions, the System cannot change the content of tasks that have already been assigned.]
"Hey, System! Repeat what you said!" — Idan could not believe what he had heard.
[...] The system fell silent and did not respond.
"Damn it, the System! Are you saying that the first task you gave me was a mistake?"
[The system is currently developing], was the simple and evasive answer after some time of silence.
"Damn it!" — Idan's mood worsened.
Arabel, who was watching Idan, couldn't help but notice his expression change. This caused her to have a fit of laughter.
