what? What is it this time?
Since Nagisa and Mao-chan interrupted the dance, Mitama, Kinuka, Edie, Line Haruko, Kana, Ai, Nei, and Saito Yuki-san also jumped in to dance, so the students are excited to see what happens next.
To be honest, the dance this year is too fun. Yeah, usually, I’d just chill and laugh at the dancers Yeah, there are too many unforeseen events
You can hear the voices of the boys outside the white line of the court.
Okay everyone, listen to this lady for a second Listen to Mama!
Nagisa and Mao-chan call everyone with a smile.
They’re such a beautiful pair of mother and daughter so they get the attention.
Good evening everyone Good evening!
They start with greetings.
I’m Katagai Nagisa, well, I guess I’m technically your senior. Oh well, let’s put that aside
Nagisa entered our school but didn’t graduate because she got kidnapped right after.
And this girl’s my daughter, Mao Mao
Mao-chan bows her head
So cute!
I hear the school girls.
You see, I’m an alumnus of this school together with Takanashi Katsuko here. Katsuko and I are of the same age, and we entered the school at the same time
Nagisa explains cheerfully.
Oh, I knew it! Katsuko-san’s a graduate of our school!
I hear some voices.
Ah, sorry, you see, I’m going to be blunt from this point onwards
Nagisa looked at Katsuko-nee with a smile.
Well, it’s a private matter so I can’t tell you the details, but both Katsuko and I, for reasons beyond our control, weren’t able to graduate from high school
Katsuko-nee shows a sad smile.
I have this girl with me, so you can guess the reason why
Nagisa pats Mao-chan’s head gently.
That would lead students to assume that Nagisa had no choice but to leave school while still in high school because she was pregnant, by working backward from her apparent age.
But, the reason why Katsuko couldn’t come to school wasn’t from shame. It was something beyond her control. I know about it. How much suffering she had Hey, Nagisa, stop it
Katsuko-nee tries to stop Nagisa, but.
Let’s go back a little further, when we were students here five years ago, there was also an after-party event after the school festival, right? We left the school before the festival, so we didn’t get to see it, but I knew that this event exist. Back then, even if I had a lover, I would’ve told my friends that I’ll never dance because I’m too embarrassed Nagisa speaks calmly, everyone listens quietly. So, I’m sorry. I forced it, but I danced with my daughter. Megumi-chan, sorry for borrowing Yoshida-kun, I’ll repay you later We’ll return the favor! Megumi-chan!
Nagisa and Mao-chan emphasize that they’re close friends with us.
But, thanks to that, I’m satisfied. The sadness from having to quit high school is gone. Thanks Thanks!
Nagisa and Mao-chan bowed to the students, not us.
So, I’m done. So, what about you Katsuko? Katsuko-chan, what do you want to do?
Nagisa and Mao-chan look at Katsuko-nee provokingly.
You were like me, unable to dance at the after-party when you were a student in high school, right? I’m quite happy that I got to dance today, but. Mao’s satisfied too! Katsuko, what about you? What about you, Katsuko-chan?
Katsuko-nee looks perplexed.
Katsuko-nee doesn’t have that shamelessness, in a good sense, that Nagisa has.
Katsuko-nee thinks that the school festival belongs to the current students.
That’s why she feels sorry that she goes forward to enjoy herself.
I think that Katsuko-san should dance
Kana-senpai shouts.
I mean, I want to see how Katsuko-san dances. Right, everyone? Yeah, I want to see it!
Nei joins Kana-senpai.
Yeah, I think it’s okay Katsuko-san’s always taking care of us with her lunch bread It’s our school so there should be no problems I mean, please dance with me, Katsuko-san Nonono, Katsuko-san will dance with me
The students voice their approval of Katsuko-nee dancing.
But, Katsuko-nee’s.
She’s still troubled.
Then.
Oh, I see. I get it. Katsuko
Nagisa smiles.
Right, it’s hard for someone our age to do a folk dance. I mean, I’m fine since, in kindergarten, we’re often asked to dance with our children, but it’s a bit hard for Katsuko, who’s an adult woman. Right? No, I’m I get it, I do. I know well how you feel because we’re the same age!
Nagisa looks up at Iwakura-san on the stage.
Yukiyo-chan! Tango! Play tango music!
Huh? Tango?
Katsuko’s much better in Argentine Tango than folk dance. Right, Katsuko?
Nagisa smiles.
She will feel sorry if she’s intruding on the student’s events if it were folk dancing, but Katsuko’s dance performance would be just exposing her hidden talent to the students. Everyone can have fun watching, right?
Nagisa kneads the reason just to make Katsuko-nee dance.
With that said, Yukiyo-chan, hurry up and play some tango music! Any Argentine music will do. uhm, nagisa-san, even if you ask for something that suddenly.
Iwakura-san sounds troubled. Her nervousness goes through the mic.
Well yeah.
The school festival committee couldn’t have prepared tango music for this.
But.
Suddenly, a tango melody plays in the gym.
If it’s La Cumparsita, then I can play it
Huh?
Edie’s carrying an accordion.
Huh, Edie, you can play that?
I mean, where did you borrow that from?
Oh? Cumparsita’s a classic!
Nagisa smiled at Edie.
But, it’s also the easiest Argentine tango song for the students, besides, I can sing it too
Edie smiled back at Nagisa.
Right. If so, please do that
Nagisa and Edie made that exchange.
Then, her accordion’s ready.
I mean, I know that piece too.
Oh.
Okay, I’ll dance with you Katsuko! Let’s go!
Nagisa goes before Katsuko-nee.
You’re always getting things your way, Nagisa
Katsuko-nee also got ready.
Katsuko will dance the woman-side. Sorry but I’m not much of a fancy dancer
Nagisa’s already in her stable period, but she’s still pregnant
I know
Katsuko-nee finally smiles.
Well then, let’s start
. !
Edie plays the melancholy prelude on the accordion.
Then, the music changes to the main melody of the tango.
Ooh!
Katsuko-nee and Nagisa started dancing tango.
they’re amazing!
Nagisa and Katsuko were both the top prostitutes of the Black Forest.
Furthermore, Minaho-neesan trains the prostitutes of the brothel.
It’s so they can deal with the big names in politics and business.
Their education also includes various artistic disciplines.
Naturally, that includes dancing.
Still.
It’s beautiful
I know this choreography.
. Si supieras, Que aún dentro de mi alma
Edie sings along with her accordion.
She’s speaking Spanish, I think.
Edie’s music is great, and she also has a beautiful voice.
She sure can do everything.
Yoshi-kun, they’re coming here
Megu whispers.
Katsuko-nee and nagisa goes to us while dancing.
Okay, switch! I can’t handle it anymore
Nagisa pats her stomach with a smile.
She shouldn’t move too much.
Can’t help it then
I reach out to Katsuko-nee.
Misuzu will get angry at me later, but.
Dear Don’t mind it, come here
I took Katsuko-nee’s hand and started dancing tango with her.
Huh, Baker-kun? How do you know tango?
The students in the gym are surprised.
Minaho-neesan did train me too.
I’m Kouzuki Misuzu’s fiance, Kuromori Kou.
